When Peter called her name, he placed a sphere on her desk.
She looked at it with a confused expression which turned to astonishment when a holographic screen came out of the sphere showing a news broadcast.
Before the video appeared, the commentator warned that it would be too intense for children.
"Below is a video of the individual known as Kevin Thompson, also known as Killgrave, a person who has been mentioned by several people who were taken to the Sienkiewicz Psychiatric Hospital.
It is currently conjectured that said person may be dead after the actions seen in the footage. The perpetrator posted a video at 3:37 AM on social media with the following message," the reporter said. "And we can tell you in advance that the video is very disturbing."
In the video, Red Hood appeared sitting at a desk with a completely black background.
"Hello, New Yorkers. This is Red Hood speaking.
Tonight I will reveal information about many people, people who pretend to be who they say they are. I will tell you that this is not all. I will go after each and every one of them.
I will hunt them down like the animals they are, torture them to the point of madness, and when I am done, everyone will go HEHEHE HEHEHEHE HEHEEEEEAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA."
He paused and then continued.
"Each of them will finally have my permission to die. Many will die, yes, but what is justice without bloodshed? The only way I will stop is if each of them turns themselves in and tells EVERYTHING they know.
And believe me, I will know. I will know when they are lying. And if they are, the only way I will stop is when the whole truth has leaked out. And if they do not, HEHEHEHAHAHAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA, the Ghost of Christmas Past will come with a few presents long before the date.
Without further ado, I leave you with the programming. And remember, my children, reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram. Buy gold. Goodbye!"
After that, brief interference was heard, and then the video appeared showing what had been done to Killgrave.
The video, when edited, only showed what he had wanted to be shown.
Killgrave revealed everything he knew along with how he had obtained his abilities, the people he had killed and manipulated, and everything else.
By doing this, Hope from the Jessica series would have a perfect alibi, and the people he had controlled, if their relatives were still alive, would have the answer to why their sons and daughters had changed.
Thanks to this, hundreds of people would face consequences and others would be cleared, all perfectly balanced as it should be.
Those people who could not be touched now, death would come to their homes sooner or later. They had already been warned, and it depended only on them how they wanted their destiny to end, tragically or painfully.
Among the people Kevin mentioned was Jessica. When he saw her face, she had a big smile along with tears in her eyes.
Once Jessica had seen what he wanted her to see, he took the sphere and cut the recording, and looked at her. Her face was full of tears along with a big smile, and that sparkle that had been missing from her eyes slowly began to return.
"Once the recording is finished, all the information Killgrave had in his notebook and on his USB drive will appear on all the networks, along with the video. No one will be able to escape this. All those people who were wronged by Killgrave have just been avenged. Now you can sleep and rest-...." He had not finished speaking because Jess had jumped on him and given him a big hug.
When she hugged him, she buried her face in his chest and started crying like a little girl. When she had woken up, he had expected her to start crying, but it was the opposite.
Apparently she had still believed this was an illusion or a deception, but after seeing the video, all her doubts must have disappeared.
At that very moment, she was releasing everything she had been holding in: the loneliness, the desire to end her life, her immeasurable longing for death.
Each and every one of those thoughts rushed back to her like a train, making her cry with even greater force.
The most comforting thing he could do for her at that moment was to respond to her tears with gentleness and affection.
For a long time, Jessica cried, and as she did, her grip grew tighter and tighter until....
Crack.
Crack.
"Ah~," he let out a gasp as Jessica squeezed hard enough to crack his back bones.
'I needed that. Swinging between buildings is bad for my back and waist. Thanks, Jessica.'
After a little while, Jess finally let go of him, completely unaware that she had cracked his back.
As she sat down, she began to breathe calmly while wiping her face. While she was doing that, he moved toward the nightstand where he had left his helmet. He picked it up, and just as he was about to put it on, Jessica stopped him.
"What are you doing?" she asked, surprised by his actions.
"Well, it is time for me to go, Detective~. I cannot be here all day, and you need to recover and heal. You are stable now. You can call your sister and let her know where you are. She will most likely come here and take you with her. I recommend you take that option. And about work, like I said before, you will always be Detective Jessica Jones, with or without the badge. If I am not mistaken, several people open private investigation offices or something like that. You can work with that, Detective~. I know you were good at your job, so do not let this setback affect your happiness."
When Jessica heard what he was saying, her calm face turned to fear and despair. It was so intense that she jumped off the bed and trapped him in a bear hug. The impulse was so strong that he ended up sitting back down in the chair.
"You are not leaving! You cannot leave! I refuse to let you go!" she said, sniffling. "You can stay here, live with me! So do not go!"
"I am sorry, Detective, but that is impossible. The video was not just that. It was a message, one for a specific person, and I have no doubt that they are already watching it. I need to go. I do not want them to see you with me, and if they do, you are in danger," he said as he stood up and sat on the bed with Jessica in his lap.
He felt something wet on his neck.
"You cannot leave! I refuse to let you go! I deny it, do you hear me! I deny it! So I order you not to leave!"
"I am sorry, but that will be impossible."
"Please do not go! Please! I will do anything you want, but do not go!" she sniffled.
"Please, I will do anything! I will be good, I will be a good girl...your good girl! But do not go! Please, please do not go! Please do not go!"
