LATE ONE EARLY MAY NIGHT JACKIE LOGAN WAS CURLED UP ON THE COUCH TEXTING PETER- HE WAS FINISHING UP PATROL AND JUST HAD TO TELL HER ABOUT THE DUDE IN THE WEIRD BUNNY SUIT AND PURGE MASK WHO TRIED TO STICK UP A DELI -WHILE MATT SAT ACROSS FROM HER; RUNNING HIS FINGERS OVER HIS BRAIL BIBLE, SOMETHING HED TAKEN TO DOING ANYTIME HE FELT THE URGE TO PUT ON THE SUIT.
Jackie looked up at her phone and at Matt who kept crossing and uncrossing his legs, fidgeting. She opened her mouth and slipped her bottom lip between her teeth, Wade, who was currently out of town due to the fact someone had paid him to "unalive" some world leader, had said if he really wanted to be a little bitch and pretend to be normal then he should be doing something productive. Like hooking up with random ladies or building model boats in bottles. Jackie had another idea.
"I want you to teach me how to fight." Matt looked up from his bible and raised his brows at her.
"What?" He leaned forward, shut his bible, making sure to slip the prayer card into the religious book so he wouldn't lose his place. Jackie sucked in a deep breath; "I want you to teach me how to fight." Matt opened his mouth before quickly closing it. He leaned back in his armchair before teetering forward once more and resting his forearms against his knees.
"What?"
"Well," Jackie negotiated nervously, "You don't want pick on the suit again, right?" Matt nodded, "And cases and bible verses only help so much, so why not teach me how to fight. It's productive and it keeps you off the streets."
"How long have you been waiting to ask me that?" Mat wondered after a moment. Jackie shrugged. "A while."
"It'll be hard work," Matt said seriously.
"Alright," Jackie agreed.
"I won't go easy on you."
"Fine." Jackie didn't expect him to go easy on her; she didn't want him too, she wanted to learn how to fight.
Matt smirked, "Alight," he nodded, "We'll start tomorrow." Jackie smiled,
"I can't wait."
🕷
As Jackie stepped out of the shower all she wanted was to die. Not really, but all her muscles hurt; in the shower, her armed ached so badly she thought they would fall off. Matt had woke her up at five in the morning to go running around Hell's Kitchen, and then when they got back around eight, due to the fact it was Saturday, hooked up a bag in the living room so she could work on it for the several hours, though the first few hours Matt and Jackie spent on the bag were on the rhythm and how to flip someone larger than her if someone bigger then her ever grabbed her from behind.
"Hungry?" Matt asked as a tired looking Jackie flopped down on the couch.
"Food," Jackie groaned, not caring about the fact that her hair was soaking the throw pillow she was resting on. It was ugly anyway, Jackie could say a lot about Matt, having good interior design taste was not one of those things, though Matt, when she joked about it when she first moved in, blamed it on a side effect of being blind.
"So," Matt wondered, "Still want me to train you?"
"Of course I do. Who else would teach me? Wade's out of town and Jess doesn't know any cool kung fu." Also, Wade didn't know any cool kung fu either, though if she ever wanted to know how to decapitate someone with a spoon or shoot a gun she'd go to him.
Matt snorted as he plated the Chinese food he'd ordered before she'd showered; shrimp lo mein no veggies for her and chicken chow fun for him, and fried pork dumplings to share.
"Glad you say so, cause we're running every morning." Jackie groaned loudly causing Matt to chuckle out loud. "And you're on the bag again after Chruch tomorrow, and Tuesday and Thursday." Jackie groaned good naturally again.
