Jess was sitting outside smoking a cigarette.
Tony didn't mind smoking inside and she usually did, but for some reason when they had guest it always felt so awkward.
So she had excused herself to the balcony.
The dinner was winding down, so she was sure that Adrien and Steve would be leaving soon, so it didn't feel too rude.
Steven, you poor confused man she took a drag of her cigarette, it's pretty damn obvious how you feel about that boy you brought, this is the 1980's or 2012 or something, it wouldn't be so bad for you to just come out and say what you need to say.
She stopped and looked down at her cigarette I'm inner monologue-ing, great.

Deciding that any conversation that had anything to do about Adrian Veidt's prosthetic hand, was something he could sit out, Steve decided to visit Jess on the balcony.
"You looked ripe with thought."

Jess chuckled and looked back at Steve, standing in a very un-lady like fashion "You could say that."

Steve pulled a penny out of his pocket and handed it to Jess.

"Whats-" but she stopped as she got it "right, penny for your thoughts" she flicked the penny back over to him "you don't wanna know young man."
Turning she smiled "Tell me how you met Adrian Veidt's husband."

"It's complicated" he chuckled.

"Were both displaced young men from the 30's" he smiled "we clicked."

"Mmm."
In more ways than one.
"So you're just friends?"

"Yea" was all Steve could say, and all that he'd give to her.
It's complicated was more than he could explain normally about his feelings for Adrien.

Jess took a long drag from her cigarette and then stuffed it in to the ash tray.
As she blew out the last puff of smoke she said "I have something for you, follow me."

Steve didn't question the odd woman's commands and did as she asked.
They went a way that bypassed the main room where Tony and Adrien were and seemed to head in to a very tightly organized office.

"Tony had this room built for me as a after thought as the building was being put together, I didn't need much, just a place for my papers and-" she pointed to the wall where the window was.
All around the wall were shelves with random artifacts "-those, not too many places in a modern tower for Mayan fertility dolls and what not."

"Does he make you keep them in here?"

Jess was rooting through some unmarked DVD's and looked up at him "Tony doesn't make me do anything Steve."
She went back to the DVD's "I choose to keep them in here to keep in with the modern aesthetic."
