7 Months Later

Naruto was at a bar, with Jessica, and Trish sipping his glass of bourbon before he shook his head and asked "So why'd you quit this time?"

"He was an asshole." Jessica said

"And the job was siphoning your soul through a Xerox machine?" Trish asked

"No, that was my last job. This job was suckling my brains out through the air vent." Jessica said causing Naruto to chuckle

"You're bored because you're overqualified for all these crappy jobs." Trish said

"Yet, I'm uniquely unqualified for anything else." Jessica replied

"Bullshit." Trish said

"She's the best at bullshit." Naruto said causing Trish to nod while Jessica scoffed and slapped his arm, "Look Jess, why don't you,"

"I will work for your fuck buddy at Rand." Jessica said referring to Joy who Naruto placed in charge of the day to day at Rand whenever he wasn't there, "I want to earn my own money, since I can't use my powers to steal anymore."

"I know. I was going to ask if you thought about the Private Investigater idea."

"Oh, well I guess I could give it a try, but where will my officer be, our penthouse in Manhattan?" Jessica asked

"I still own the loft complex. It could easily be renovated to an office space."

"The loft complex where you used as a base of operations for your fight with the group of ninjas?" Jessica asked

"There hasn't been a peep made from the Hand in 7 months, and the ones who knew where we lived are dead." Naruto shrugged

"Its a good idea Jess, with the training we got from Nat, and your powers you'll be great at it." Trish said

"Where is Nat?" Jessica asked

"She's on a misiom looking into Stark for S.H.I.E.L.D." Naruto said eating a fry before a man in a suit walked up to Trish

"Hey, let's play a game of love tester with me, I think we might be a match." the man said placing his shot glass on the table

"She's not interested buddy, walk away." Naruto said,

"I'm talking to lady pal.' the man replied glaring at Naruto

"I'm not your pal, friend." Naruto said about to get up but the girls grabbed him

"Naruto, it's okay, calm down." Trish said before she put on a polite smile and looked to the man "Um, while that's an amazing offer, I'm kinda busy right now."

"Hey, I know you, but you were a redhead, I watched your show. It's Patsy!" the man said before he laughed "I was 12, I learned a lot from Patsy. Patsy taught me how to hold an remote with one hand, and box a bald headed bishop with the other."

Suddenly the man jumped as a knife was stabbed into the table between his fingers by Jessica who said "I'll play you."

"Yeah, sure why not." the man shrugged

"Jess, it's not worth it." Trish said

"Oh, I think it is.' Jessica said looking to the man "But I'm not really feeling the Love Tester right now, how about the Strength Tester. I win you pick up our bar tab, apologize to my friend here, and find somewhere else to drink."

"And when I win?" the man said causing Naruto, and Trish to scoff

"I'll take you out back, and meet that bald headed bishop of yours." Jessica said smiling causing the man to smirk arrogantly and nod
