"Last night, he let me fly one of the suits" she finally smiled "I was almost married twice before you know? Before I came to Paris, to a boy I knew most of my life, then to Bruce Wa-" she stopped "it doesn't matter."

He looked up from her ring "Bruce Wayne, I know, I read your Wikipedia page."

"I have a wikipedia page?"

"I had to fix it though, it made a mistake on your height" he smiled.

"That also begs the question why did you look up my wikipedia page?"

"I started with myself and simply began clicking through links, I found Tony's and you were linked under most recent romantic interest and that's where I stopped. It said you originally came from the San Fransisco Bay Area, moved to Paris to be a writer, then after disappearing for a year in London, you resurfaced and began work at the British museum. It even had the line "Most of Ms. Cartwright's early life is shrouded in mystery. Sources are still unsure of her actual birth place, nor where she disappeared to in 1984. It also claims you have a sister."
Steve sipped his coffee with a smile.

Jess smiled "I'm from Vallejo California, it's only claim to fame is the military base on Mare Island" Jess had to remind herself that New York was still the 1980's and Mare Island would still have been open at this time "it was mostly pastures before the base was built. I did move to Paris to write, I honestly wasn't very good at it and I spent more time drinking than I did writing. I was in a relationship with Bruce Wayne and although he never proposed it was fairly certain that he would have had I not uh-"
*raps* Come on girl tell him your crazy! Let the super soldier know your Queen D. baby! Number one villainess, wears a green leotard, hair dressed like a birds nest!
"-had a complete metal collapse in '84." Jess's cheeks reddened embarrassed, and she was but more for telling the lie than the lie itself.
I guess you're not lying per-se, but damn are you stretching that truth.
"Bruce and I's relationship was marred with difficulties, I wasn't quite ready to give up the life I was comfortable with and spent more than a few nights in the comfort of other peoples arms clutching a bottle of whiskey. Then I was kidnapped and-"

Steve listened intently, a little insight made their conversations make more sense. Jess had the style and sensibilities of a woman not from this age and for all he knew she might not be; she may have come the same way he did.
Steve, you were frozen, awoke in 2012 and then transported back to 1986. Nobody else would ever be in those same circumstances.

"-experimented on, along with Bruce's butler Alfred. Batman eventually found us after Bruce asked for his help and brought us to safety. It took me weeks to recover and on a trip to London to meet with a very prominent psychiatrist I experienced a full metal collapse. Bruce spent the next year searching for me but I was-" Jess wiped below her eyes "a little too far gone. He assumed I'd taken my own life and since then has been slowly secluding himself from society and why am I telling you this?"

Steve reached across and grabbed Jess's shoulder and gave it a little shake "It's okay, it doesn't sound like you've told this story very often."

"I make it sound like my breakdown caused Bruce to become a hermit. The poor man has actually had this happen to him twice! First with me and now with Lois Lane, who as of today is still missing. It's as much as he can take."
Jess looked down at the table and sighed "There isn't a whole lot any of us can do for him right now, until Lois is found. I hear Superman's back in town so that shouldn't be too much of a problem now."

"Superman?" Steve raised his eyebrow. That was a man he wanted to meet, but getting an audience with Superman was like getting an audience with the president and he wasn't sure he knew the right people.

"Yea you know him? Big giant kryptonian wears a big S on his chest, flies and shoots lasers out of his eyes?" She smiled "Anyway, he's back from god no where and is popping up all over the country like he's making up for lost time. One can only assume he's looking for Lois, they were together for like a hundred fuckin years. He disappears and she starts writing slam pieces on him, explaining why the world doesn't need Superman. It didn't help with Nixon's bullshit ban on capes either. But nobody can blame her for being heart broken."
Jess sighed "Anyway, yea, that's my life how's yours?"

He wondered what it would take to get Superman's attention. He'd ask Ms. Wilde, he was sure at one point or another Superman would come to see her, being Lex Luthor's campaign manager after all.
"I've spent a lot of time just trying to catch up. Politics, laws, pop culture, music, it's all new and all very different than what I was used to. Having the downtime I've had-" he sighed with a smile "-I don't know, I'm not sure how good it is for me. I have Adrien and she's, been absolutely amazing and patient."
He looked down at his coffee "I've been lucky."

"But you're ready to get back out there?" Jess light a cigarette and for the first time thanked god it was still the 80's. No public smoking ban yet.
