The car ride over had been mostly quiet.
Jess kept herself busy thinking about the millions of things she was currently taking care of.
Her sister, Ezio and Indiana, the world war two exhibit back at the museum, Tony, Dopple.
And now Adrien.
But that was okay, she loved being busy.
It was better than being stagnant and bored.

Adrien was hugging her denimed knees, even though that meant she wasn't wearing her seat belt properly.
Her shocked, hurt expression said it all. Tears coursed silently down her cheeks and she wiped them off by tilting her head against the coarse material, without a single noise.

Jess looked over at Adrien for a quick moment, before putting her eyes back on the road.
She took a deep breath and smiled "Do you want to listen to the radio?"

"Not really," she said in a small voice.
She didn't really care for modern music.

Jess just nodded and was quiet until they pulled up near the garage at Stark tower.
"Here we are" she gave Adrien another small smile and hit the intercom "level two please" one of the large garage doors opened up and Jess pulled in.
When the door closed they were in darkness for a moment, before a large spotlight came on and the car began to ascend. A voice came over the speaker of her car that said "Level two miss."
She smiled and pulled forward into a parking garage full of antique looking cars like hers "Tony gave me this car when we first started dating, it was definitely not something I would have ever expected. When I was with Bruce, it was all flowers and champagne, not that I minded of course, he just wasnt the kind that would show up with a car is all."
She turned to Adrien "You can tell me to shut up any time now."

"No, I... would like to 'ear about you and Bruce and Tony."
It had never occurred to Adrien that other people had relationships like hers. That women did. She had never spoken to a woman other than her own mother.
It had never occurred to Adrien that anything he went through might be experienced with someone else, that someone else might know things about her life that she herself did not.

Jess smiled "When I first came to Paris, I didnt know what I was walking in to. I was here originally to work on my writing, then I met Bruce Wayne-"

She wrote; that was different from Adrien, at least.
"'E is Batman, yes?"

"How did you-" she stared for a moment before zhe remembered exactly who Adrien was married to "Adrian figured it out then? I'll have to contact Bruce, he likes to keep tabs on anyone who knows or has figured out hos secret identity."
Opening the car door she stepped out, befoee quickly looking back in "I wont mention you."

Adrien gave her a cheeky grin, her first of the admittedly grim morning. "So we are alike, yes? We like to date superheroes."

"It seems that way" she smiled and started heading toward the elevator to where she decided Adriens room would be.
She wondered for a moment how Tony would react, and decided he'd probably mention something about a threesome and raise his eyebrow then get back to work.

Jess chuckled softly "It was good with Bruce for a long time, he and I seemed like we would last forever you know? We met on top of the opera house roof" she smiled sadly "I was at my wits end, no way home, my family in another dimension and what not, I was going to jump, end it all."
She hit the elevator button "Then he showed up, out of the blue, confused and unsettled not really sure how he got here. I explained to him the best I could about Paris, about the opera house, the best I could then of course, when he noticed Wayne Manor out on the skyline."
She stepped in to the elevator "So we ran there, for no reason he took me by the hand and we ran" gestueing for Adrien to come in with her she smiled "kind of explains our whole damn relationship right there."

Adrien looked tender and damp-eyed.
"But that is so beautiful," she said sniffily. "I met Adrian at a party I crashed. 'E saw I was lying about being a journalist, but he let me stay so we could have sex. Then 'e 'ired me to work for Micaela, so he could continue to sleep with me."
She looked down, pulling her denim jacket sleeve carefully over the base of her thumb.
"I wanted to just run with Crowley, 'o is someone I met at a party also, when Micaela 'ad gone, and things with Adrian were very difficult, and I was drunk."
She sighed, noticeably wilting.

"It would be if not six months later I was kidnapped, tortured, which in the end was the undoing of our relationship." She smiled "Theres a whole lot more to it than that, but those are thoughts best kept to myself or we'd both be sniffling."
She listened carefully as Adrien spoke and they came to the floor "Regrets are best left where you got them, in the past" the door opened up and Jess stepped out "My ex husband used to say that, ex because I left him in another dimension, not because we ever divorced."
