giovanna bennet, inactive - the punisher

Hate Crime
They'd only recently gotten back to New York. So much work to do. And now Gio was running a few errands while Andrew was engrossed in work and Angelo was tidying the suite.

She was carrying her canvass bag of acquisitions back towards their place when she heard the scream. It was agirl's scream. It was not a scream at a spider or a mouse or a pillow fight. Giovanna herself had screamed the way she was hearing once.

She ran toward the ally where she heard it. There were four men in Kevlaresque jackets and one very frightened young woman with platinum curls -- from which emerged long, long pointed ears.

"Well, don't you feel like big men," Giovanna says, eyes flickering.

"Humans, like mutants, come in lots of flavors, Jo. You've got scumbags like this guy and you've got politicians that stand up and fight for them. I also don't see too many mutants really willing to stick their necks out for each other. Everyone seems focused on keeping their own asses intact." he says simply.

"My views on mutants and humans run the same; don't hurt any innocent people and I don't have a problem with you." he says.

"If there's somewhere you'd like me to drop you off, I'll take you. It's probably better that you don't know what's happens after you get out of the car." Punisher says.

	"Definitely an efficient approach when they do." Human or not, she had to admit he made more sense to her than her Andrew sometimes did. Gio thinks for a minute, then names a street corner just far enough from their building to keep him from any possible attention, for from being entirely obvious about where she lived.

He'll drive her to the street corner in question, scouting the area to get an idea of what part of the city she's from. He doesn't know what she was doing tonight, but she didn't have a connection to the girl or they'd have left together. Is she another one of the heroic set? He doesn't know, but he does know what she looks like, so he'll know her if he sees her again.

Burke will stop the car and get out to open the door for her. Last he saw, she was drained after moving all three of them. The last thing he needs is to have her get out of his car and then drop dead.

"You did a brave thing tonight, Jo. I hope you don't have to put yourself in that position again, but thanks." he says.

"Can you make home all right from here?" he asks.

	Gio manages to get out, still tired but able to walk. "Thanks for the assist. I'll be okay. I can walk now, and I think I got the bloodstain out enough no one'll ask questions. Don't worry about what somebody might ask the victim, either; I saw her eyes, and they were definitely not on your face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Punisher nods.

"Don't worry about this guy, either, Jo." he says, nodding at their guy in the back.

"He won't bother any other young woman or mutant after tonight ever again."

At that, the man in the of the van begins to panic.

"Hey, get me out of here! You can't leave me with this guy! You mutants say you want to live in peace with humans, prove it!" he yells.

Burke sighs.

"I thought I said something about you and your tongue if you spoke again without being spoken to." he says, looking to the road.

"Good night, Jo."

The windows on the van roll up and Punisher drives off with his prisoner.

	Gio just coldly raises an eyebrow at the van, nods politely to the Punisher, and heads towards her building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
