Adrien stared at her uncomprehendingly, the terrible truth - that it was all for nothing - sunk in too hard for her to even hear what Jess was saying.

Jess slowly sunk to the floor and looked up at her.
But said nothing.

"I am so stupid," she said in a bone-dry whisper.

"No, stupid is pretending to be dead, stupid is treating the people who love and care for you like throw away garbage, you, you are not stupid."

Steve had been sitting alone for quite some time, thinking of his situation.
When he decided to call Jess, to see if Adrien was all right, it wasn't out of some selfish need to make himself feel better by reacting the way he did, but out of a honest need to know how Adrien was doing.
Jess's phone rang.

It the quiet of the room suddenly an old recording of "The Star Spangled Man" started playing.
Jess looked down to her pocket "That's Steve's ringtone" she looked back to Adrien and caught her eyes and she answered "Steven?"

There was silence on the other line for just long enough that Jess might've thought the line dead.
But Steve spoke up just in time "Adrien" his voice was soft, but loud enough that in the proximity that Jess was from Adrien, it was sure that Adrien would have heard it "Is he, she, is Adrien okay?"

"No Steve, Adrien is not okay" she replied, still looking at Adrien "she's had a very rough, very long, very confusing day, and it's barely just started."

Steve audibly swallowed "I didn't mean to react the way I did, honestly, and I know I should learn to not be so surprised by the goings on of this world, but-"

"I understand Steve, I'd have reacted the same way if Tony showes up on the couch with a vagina. It's not unwanted, but it's a surprise."
