Reeling
It's been a few days since the police presence at the Brownstone, and there's been no word from the police, courts, or the Foundation yet. Jack more or less has been barricading himself in his room. With a keener awareness of the fact that he doesn't particularly need to sleep or use any other facilities, he saw no problem with this course of action. He's been in his costumed state the entire time. Eventually though, he gets hungry and pulls the furniture away from the door.

He pokes his head out of the door, looking up and down the hallway. He's not sure who he should expect to be waiting for his emergence, if anyone. He's equally unsure what he would say. He'll scurry up the wall and start heading to the kitchen via ceiling-crawl.

Adrienne was in the kitchen, munching on a croissant.

She looked up. "...You know, we have a perfectly good floor."

Jack tenses, but doesn't jump, at the voice. He crawls down a wall, rather than jumping, to get to the fridge. He stops for a bit, seemingly distracted by his own thoughts, then starts grabbing some fruits and veggies.

"Don't need floors much. Apparently I was built that way." He mutters.

"...'built zat way?'" she asked.

"Oh, didn't you get the newsflash? Apparently I'm a malfunctioning horrific miracle of science." He gestures to his appearance, before his mask recedes, just enough around his mouth, for him to start eating. "I'm some kind of bacterial marketing gimmick."

His tone of voice does not suggest much in the way of stability, at the moment.

All right, Adrienne, proceed with caution.

"Zat... may be how you were made," she said, carefully, "but zat does not mean you must let it define you."

"A little hard not to be concerned about that when I'm about to be Exhibit A rather than a witness... or... defendant, or whatever in court." Jack huffs.

"What if they've got some creepy mind-control phrase that turns me into a supervillain? I'll have to grow a goatee and start wearing a cape and having some leather-clad assistant in a lair!"

"I did not say zat you should not be concerned," she corrected him. "I just meant zat you do not have to let how you began define how you are."

"...I do not think zat scenario is very likely."

"I just don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore. Everything made sense before. I was a part of a superhero team, even if I kinda felt like the only one here who understood that, now I'm just this... this thing."

"Jacque," she said, firmly. "Things do not worry zat zey are things. Zerefore, you are not a thing."

Jack blinks at that, his mask fully receding.

"Woah...

...that's deep."

"I have my moments," she said, giving him her full attention.

"Do not worry, Jacque," Adrienne added. "I do not think Bea will let anyzing happen to you."

"Bea thinks I'm a little kid." He huffs, folding his arms across his chest, before the quest for more fruit and yogurt breaks up that particular sulk.

"And Martin I think still hates me for the incident with his hat."

Adrienne opted not to point out that the huff was probably proving Bea right.

Or the Martin part.

Yup, she was keeping mum on a lot of things.

"I zink she just wants what is best for you," she said instead.

"But how's anyone supposed to know what's best for me if nobody can even figure out exactly what I am?

This is just really... not cool." He sighs. "What would you do if you found out you were some freaky lab-creation?"

Adrienne shrugged. "I zink.... zat is for you to figure out."

She tilted her head. "I do not know," she said. "I suppose, I might zink how I might use zat to my advantage."

Jack scratches his head. "I don't know what there is at this point... pretty much all my advantages were tied up in becoming a world-famous and universally beloved superhero."

"Zat is all you want?" Adrienne asked. "Fame and glory?"

"No!" He furrows his brow.

Then, more quietly, "No.

I... I want to help people. I want to stay on the Thunderbolts." He looks around the kitchen uncertainly. "This is... my home."

"Good answer," she said. "You are thinking about who you are. Zat is good."
