Y/n POV: 'HELP US!' "AGGGHHH!" I shot up and started breathing heavily. "Dream again." I grabbed the bottle and went to take a drink but nothing came out. "I forgot about that." I got up and put my jeans and boots back on and put my gun in my pants and pulled my earbuds out. "Imma go grab a beer." I put my glasses on and walked out while I stretched. "Which way was the house? That way." I walked over to the house and walked in while I smelled coffee. "Morning Y/n." "Oh hi Mary." I walked over to her and grabbed a cup of coffee from her. "Is Jackie up yet?" "Yeah he's in the basement working out." "Got a beer in there?" "Yeah." She opened the fridge and tossed me a beer and I grabbed it and popped the top open and slammed it down. "Thanks Mary." I grabbed my coffee again and walked downstairs to his gym. "Hey Jackie." He was doing some pull ups and jumped down. "Sup ol' boy." "Just slammed a beer and I'm about to do some bench presses." I took my gun out and sat it down on the bench and started lifting the weights while Mary walked downstairs.

"One! two! three!" "Hey Y/n what type of cake did you want?" "Seven! Did you ask Jiro what flavor she wanted? Eight!" "She wanted Strawberry and Chocolate. And I was gonna make it a layered cake." "Fifteen! Vanilla and Lemon. Sixteen!" "What interests do you have?" "Twenty! Marine Corps, guns, guitars, rock and metal music. Twenty one!" "Okay the cake will be done tomorrow." "Twenty five! Thanks Mary. Twenty six!" She walked upstairs and I continued doing my reps. "So Y/n how did you sleep?" "Thirty! Decent. After I slammed a bottle of Everclear. Thirty one!" "You hate that stuff." Thirty five! I know. It's ass half backwards that I hate everclear but love hooch. Thirty six!" "Hey I made some of that apple pie moonshine!" "Forty! Fuck yeah I love that shit! Forty one!" "Want some breakfast? I got leftovers from last night." "FFFFIFTY! Yeah." I put the weights up and stood up while I wiped myself off. "I'm hungry!" I put my gun back in my pants and walked back upstairs with Jack while I drank my coffee. "We got dogs, burgers, pulled hog, hog chops, brisket, the whole enchilada. Oh yeah I also have some enchiladas Mary made." "Heat up everything, we can eat it throughout the day." "Good idea."

He started the oven and put all of the trays in there. "So how did you sleep?" "Better. Having Mary hold me really helped." "Did you tell her?" "Yeah, she understood." "You know I think talking with Jiro helped more than any of those shrinks did by fuckin' ten times." "How?" "She didn't try relating, she didn't say she knew what I was going through, she didn't bullshit her way into any situation. She just listened to me and even admitted she knew nothing of what I went through. Just her doing that made me feel like I...I don't know. I can't explain it." "I see what you mean." "Yeah. I was just thinking of something. About what Patton said." "SecDef Patton or WW2 Patton?" "O.G. Patton. He said that WW2 wasn't over and that after the Japanese surrendered we should have marched through Russia and taken them out. Hell the reason they got nukes was because they had a spy on the inside of the fuckin' Manhattan Project! If we did that my great grandpa would have not died in Korea, my grandfather would have not been in a Vietnamese POW camp, and this war we just got fucking through with would have not happened!" "Hindsight's always twenty twenty." "Looking back it's still a bit fuzzy." We both had a good chuckle while he pulled the burgers and dogs out and we fixed our plates.

"You know. Me, my dad, everyone else around here. We all knew who you and your dad were." "You did?" "We all just kept it a secret. All of us figured out who you two were early. I didn't know exactly what it was but my dad who made sure I never told anyone that the Castiglione's across the street were really named Castle. We all liked you and never thought ill of you. Even after I found out what all this meant I still saw you as my brother." "Didn't my dad grow up here?" "Well he moved to New York a little after he joined the Corps, so that was the last time they saw him. But I guess they knew." "Thank you. More than you will ever know." "Do you ever wonder what your life could have been like if you never became The Punisher?" "Yeah....a lot. I have a feeling it would have been similar. My dad would have probably died because of the amount of people after him. I would have still gone after them because he was the only person I had in my life. And you know how this song and dance goes, let alone they came after me as well when he died." "That curse." "It's gone now at least."
