365 Marvel Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

Team Supplemental - The Night Shift

The WestCoast superhero known as The Shroud came to the conclusion that he would prove a much more effective crimefighter were he to pose as a villain and take on the underworld from within. To this end, The Shroud gathered a team of costumed villains, many of whom had been the captive of the villain known as The Locksmith.

Although most of the members of The Shroud’s Night Shift believed they were involved in a criminal endeavor, The Shroud was able to steer them on a course to take down the other criminal factions active in the Los Angeles area. Based in the Tower of Shadows, The Shroud led the Night Shift into battle against a host of criminal organizations, stealing their wealth and splitting it among themselves. The Shroud also kept careful watch over his team, ensuring that none of the group members preyed on the innocent. Under the Shroud's leadership, the Night Shift even allied with Captain America against the Power Broker.

The Shroud’s chief lieutenant on the team was the former Spider-Woman foe known as Dancer Macabre. She often acted as leader of the team during times in which The Shroud’s duties took him elsewhere. During one of these times, Dancer Macabre led the Night Shift in an attack against The West Coast Avengers.

Not long thereafter, the team was taken over by the villain known as The Hangman, who was actually in league with the demonic entity known as Satannish. All this resulted in The Night Shift rebelling against The Hangman and joining forces with Dr. Strange and The West Coast Avengers in order to defeat Satannish.

The squad subsequently disbanded yet a new version of the team later reformed under the leadership of the Superior Spider-Man.

Members of the team included:

The Shroud

When he was ten years old, Maximiliian Coleridge witnessed his parents gunned down. He dedicated his life to fighting crime, gaining a law degree and studying the Cult of Kali. During his studies, he developed mystical perception and the ability to manipulate aspects of the Darkforce. He became the Shroud and used this costume identity to take down criminals in a very covert manner. He encountered the Fantastic Four and Captain America, and later established a club in Los Angeles called the Cat's Jazz Club, where he could keep watch over the criminal underbelly.

Dancer Macabre

Dansen Macabre was a skilled dancer and priestess of Shiva who visited the Shroud's club in an attempt to kill him because he was empowered by Shiva's rival Kali. This led to an encounter with Spider-Man.

Digger

Roderick Krupp was a grave digger in Los Angeles who encountered the dangerous, haunted mansion called the House of Shadows. He soon moved into the house and from there hosted several late night horror television shows, taking the name ‘Digger.’ After his television shows were cancelled, Roderick started to go insane, believing everyone alive was actually dead. He started to bury people alive, but was apprehended by Jessica Drew and taken into custody.

Skein

A mutant with the ability to control natural fibers, Sybil Dvorak was brought to the United States from her native Rumania by the actor Jason Reed, who promised her fame and fortune, but instead kept her effectively a prisoner in his mansion. Bored, Sybil created a costume and wove delicate wings to become ‘Gyp$y Moth’. She became hedonistic, seeking pleasure and adventure, and when Reed died, his wealth was left to her. She also became an American citizen and encountered Spider-Woman on multiple occasions.

Werewolf by Night

Jack Russell inherited his father's curse of lycanthropy. He has had many adventures with the criminal and super human communities and joined the Night Shift following his encounter with The Locksmith.

Needle

Josef Saint was an elderly tailor who was attacked by hoodlums and lost an eye in the process. He grew enraged by this, and developed the ability to paralyze people with a stare. He battled Spider-Woman prior to becoming a member of The Night Shift.

Tatterdemalion

Arnold Paffenroth was bit-part Hollywood actor who could never really catch a break. He eventually became homeless and bitter towards the upper class, which led him to being mind-controlled by Sarnak, who gave him the ragged costume which he would wear as a super villain. Following encounters with The Werewolf by Night, Ghost Rider and Spider-Woman, The Tatterdemalion ended up a member of The Night Shift.

The Brothers Grimm

Percy and Barton Grimes were corrupt realtors who purchased an old theater in Los Angeles, where they discovered the long-abandoned Brothers Grimm costumes which had been imbued with magical powers. Taking the costumes for themselves as the Brothers Grimm, they fought Iron Man and later Spider-Woman before being captured by The Locksmith. Thereafter, the pair were recruited into the ranks of The Night Shift.

Misfit

Jason Roland was a handsome Hollywood actor who struggled to get his break in the industry. He eventually made a deal with a make-up artist who claimed to be an emissary of the devil; He traded his soul in exchange for success. The make-up artist created a monstrous design for Jason to wear in the film ‘The Demon that Devoured Hollywood,’ which led to Jason's increased popularity. Jason threatened to break off the deal but, on the final day of shooting, he discovered that he was unable to remove his costume, effectively trapping him in a monstrous form. Now known as The Misfit, he battled Spider-Woman prior to being captured by the Locksmith and subsequently joining The Night Shift.

Waxman

The monstrous Waxman had been a scientist suffering from a rare skin condition. An experiment meant to cure him instead turned him into the creature composed of a malleable wax-like substance. He appeared at popular clubs throughout Los Angeles disguised as handsome men and seduced women. Bringing them someplace alone, his body turned into a waxy form during a moment of passion and he would smother them to death. The villain was defeated by Spider-Woman and then imprisoned by Locksmith. he served for a short time as a member of The Nightshift until he was dealt with more permanently by Moon Knight.

The Night Shift first appeared in the pages of Captain America Vol. 1 #330 (1987).

Project Insight - Construction in Key US States

Project Insight – Construction in Key US States

Summary

The US construction industry is a major contributor to the economy, accounting for 4.1% of gross domestic product (GDP) and employing 5.3% of the country’s total workforce. With annual expenditure reaching over US$1.4 trillion last year, the industry is one of the largest in the world. In 2018, output grew by 4.4% in real gross terms – up from 3.4% in 2017, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA).

Recent corporate tax cuts together with state and local government efforts to raise revenues for public works has driven this growth. Among the largest states currently experiencing fast construction growth are Florida, Georgia and Washington, with annual average rates of 9.9%, 8.7% and 6% respectively over the past five years.

GlobalData is tracking 11,208 construction projects in the US, both in the public and private sector, at all stages of development from announcement to execution; collectively, these projects are valued at US$3.7 trillion. The top 10 selected US states account for nearly 60% of the entire US construction market.

Key Highlights

– With a total of 1,302 projects worth US$524.6 billion, California has both the largest number and value of projects in the US construction project pipeline. California is home to more megaprojects than any other states in the US, with its top 10 largest projects valued at US$139.5 billion. Six of these are transport infrastructure projects and two are energy and utilities projects. Topping the list is the US$79 billion California High-Speed Rail Line, the largest project in the US construction pipeline. Thanks to its dominance in the US energy sector, Texas has the highest number and value of energy and utilities projects in the US construction project pipeline. – GlobalData is tracking 1,034 projects in the state with a total value of US$425.1 billion. Energy and utilities projects dominate with a value of US$152.7 billion, followed by mixed-used developments and infrastructure projects with values of US$67.9 billion and US$67.1 billion respectively. GlobalData is tracking 894 projects in New York with a total value of US$409 billion, of which 63% of the value are in the pre-execution and execution stages as of May 2019. Of the total number of projects tracked by GlobalData in Washington, 89 are residential buildings, 72 are commercial and leisure and 83 are mixed-use developments. Some of these projects are related to Amazon, Microsoft or Google or the expansion thereof, meaning office buildings and apartment buildings to house their workers. Microsoft, for example, is currently undertaking the redevelopment of its headquarters building in Washington. – The project is costing US$1 billion, and is set to start this year. Among the major contractors building large construction projects in Illinois are Jacobs, Arcadis and Ardmore Roderick, which were awarded the construction contract to complete the US$4.7 billion Red and Purple Lines Modernization in Chicago while Thyssen-Krupp Industrial Solutions was selected to build the Tuscola Fertilizer Plant.

Scope

– This report focuses on 10 key states in the US, which are significant in terms of the overall size of the economy, construction output and construction employment, as well as having sizeable construction project pipelines. – The report provides an assessment of the current construction project pipeline by the 10 key selected states based on the CIC project database including analysis on total construction pipeline by sector and stage, projected annual spending on current project pipeline by funding method over the five-year span, as well as analysis on all major projects by value, start and end date, stage of development, funding mechanism, and leading contractors.

Reasons to buy

– Gain insight into the key construction states in the US by construction sector, and stage. – Assess the main drivers of construction investment in key US states, and financing methods. – Understand the maintrends driving overall construction growth. – Identify top projects by sector, leading contractors and development stage to better understand the competitive environment and inform your expansion strategy.

Day 10- Serial Killer

When a client asks Jessica Jones to find her missing husband, she thinks it's just another Tuesday. There was no way for her to know her investigation would lead her to a serial killer.

More characters! ﾟ.+(〃ﾉωﾉ)ﾟ.+°

Including Jessica Jones, Matt Murdock, Luke Cage, Foggy Nelson, and the little known Roderick Krupp!

Jessica Jones should’ve known things were too easy when the trail of evidence was so obvious. It started as a simple missing person’s case, the usual ‘oh please I haven’t seen my husband in days’ sort of thing that nearly always turned out to be a cheater run off with the mistress.

In the beginning of the search, there even was a mistress. Jessica had followed the man’s credit card transactions to a motel room, where the woman was still staying. Unfortunately, she had no idea where the man had gone.

“And you’re still waiting for him?” Jessica asked incredulously. She had stopped scribbling notes in her pad to eye the mistress.

She looked pained. “He promised me he’d be back so we could leave together!” the woman, Sharlene, burst into tears. “He was only going to drop off the divorce papers.”

Jessica gave her an awkward pat on the shoulder, leafing through the cheater’s suitcase again. In fairness to Sharlene, the man did seem to be packed for good. He must’ve bought a whole new wardrobe because there was no way this much was missing from his closet, Jessica would’ve noticed. “When did he leave exactly?”

Sharlene sniffled. “Um, it was probably around 11am yesterday. Yeah, because we were going to get lunch when he got back.”

CCTV? Check nearby gas stations, someone else must have seen him before he vanished, she wrote. After assuring Sharlene that she would call when she found the man, Jessica escaped the drab motel for her car. She examined the map on her phone, noting places the missing man may have stopped between here and his home.

The third gas station she checked actually had footage of the kidnapping. They hadn’t done their weekly glance through the footage yet, so they were just as surprised as Jessica when the blurry footage showed a slumped figure approach the man from behind and inject something into his neck. Whoever the kidnapper was had to be strong, because he lifted the unconscious man into the passenger seat of his own car easily, and Mr. Marcus wasn’t light. The Marcuses were both tall, and Mr. Marcus was a fitness nut, 6 foot of dense muscle. The kidnapper was easily a foot shorter, and didn’t look particularly buff.

She couldn’t make out any useful features, besides the slight hunch to his shoulders. The kidnapper never faced the camera. Great, now the police had to be involved. Jessica hoped the client would still pay her.

“Ms. Jones, always a pleasure,” the detective said sarcastically. Honestly, she didn’t deserve the attitude she got from the city’s officials, really. It was never her fault the police couldn’t do their jobs, nor was the increase in powered crime that she ended up tangled in her fault. She just seem to draw trouble.

“Detective,” she nodded in greeting. “Want the rundown of what I’ve got so far?” She gave him her sweetest smile. If she had to work around these guys for the rest of the case, they could at least be friendly.

Detective needs-to-shave, as Jessica had dubbed him in her head, crossed his arms. “May as well,” he sighed. “Though if you’re here, I’m sure this case is gonna involve one of you powered freaks. I don’t get paid enough for this shit.”

So much for getting along. “Nevermind, I’ll find the victim myself,” she spat. “I don’t have to listen to this bigotry.” He shouted after her as she stormed away to her car. She flipped him off without looking back. Once she was a couple blocks away, Jessica pulled over and parked, rubbing her face. She had stopped shedding tears over judgemental pricks years ago, but they were still exhausting. She emailed a copy of her notes and Mr. Marcus’ paper trail to the Detective, so she wouldn’t be bothered later with requests to go to the station. The asshole was gonna feel like an idiot later when Jessica dropped off the kidnapper tied up all neat with a bow.

…

Roderick Krupp whipped his head around in Jessica’s direction at the sound of the detectives’s voice on her phone. She muted it quickly, silently cursing herself. She darted across the gap between the groundskeeper shed and the nearest mausoleum. Krupp continued down the pathway, peering around with squinted eyes. The lights weren’t as bright out here on the outskirts of the cemetery, where all the mausoleums stood like sentries. Jessica held her breath, hoping he would give up the search.

Krupp called out, “Anyone there!? I won’t hurt you.” He sounded like a stereotypical old man, but he was definitely not generic. Even in the dark, Jessica could see that his skin was off. It was a green, with some darker bluish undertones on his elbows and neck. It reminded her of a cartoon zombie. He waited another few minutes, listening to the night. He had sworn he heard someone else out here. Why anyone beside him would be out here in the middle of the night was beyond him.

A muffled yell sounded from the other direction, catching Krupp’s attention. “Whatever,” he muttered, turning and making his way back to the newly dug grave.

Quickly unmuting the phone, hoping the man was still there, she whispered into the mic before hanging up immediately. “Cavalry Cemetery, Mr. Marcus is being buried alive.” Jessica darted forward again, hiding behind gravestones for a few moments at a time.

As she drew closer to the kidnapper, she could hear more details. Poor Mr. Marcus was yelling through the wooden box he was locked in, but it was too muffled for her to make out. Jessica couldn’t help the way she winced slightly with each plop of dirt onto the box. “When the eyes of Prince Prospero fell upon this spectral image (which with a slow and solemn movement, as if more fully to sustain its role, stalked to and fro among the waltzers) he was seen to be convulsed…” Krupp’s gravelly voice rang out as he apparently told Mr. Marcus a story. Jessica recognized the name Prospero, but wasn’t sure where from.

She took a deep breath before stepping into the light. “Stop!”

The hunched green man, who up close looked even more like a zombie more than a man, turned to snarl at her. “You shouldn’t be here!” He screamed. She caught the shovel easily where he had aimed for her head. He gaped at her, surprised, and she smirked as she crumpled the metal with her hand.

Things were looking good for her until Krupp suddenly smirked back. He shouldn’t look that confident in the face of her strength. He lurched forward. She wasn’t fast enough to avoid the hand that now gripped her throat. Krupp lifted her in the air, and she kicked him uselessly. She pried at his fingers, gasping for breath, but Krupp was stronger than her.

The familiar sound of a gun safety turning off broke the killer’s concentration. “Drop the girl and put your hands on your head!” the Detective from earlier shouted. Jessica wasn’t so sure it would work since he was powered.

Luckily, he must not be bulletproof. She fell to her knees, gasping and retching. After she finished coughing enough to feel in control, she brought herself to her feet again. There were already officers there helping a shaken Mr. Marcus out of the hole. She gave her statement, and turned down the medics. She’d be fine, though her voice would be fucked up for a few days. Driving home, tired, she called each of the women in Mr. Marcus’ life. “Found him, he’s alive,” was all she ground out before hanging up. She hardly felt like talking. Mrs. Marcus could get her bill in her email tomorrow.

… The bruises on her neck were mostly gone when she testified against ‘The Digger’ in court. That was what the papers had called him when he was linked to 16 open murder cases. She had to say, it wasn’t a very good serial killer name. Though Matt Murdock was usually a defense attorney, he had pulled some strings with the DA’s office to prosecute this case when he heard the details from Jessica. It paid off to be known as the lawyer who handle ‘special cases’ with any powered parties involved. Jessica couldn’t believe the public still hadn’t figured out the he was Daredevil. He always seemed to know facts about cases that he shouldn’t, cases the Daredevil was involved in. It was obvious!

“Please tell the jury what you saw,” Murdock spoke loudly and clearly. Jessica described the night. The jury audibly gasped when she talked about the screams of Mr. Marcus through the coffin lid. Murdock nodded, pacing back and forth thoughtfully as though this weren’t the thousandth time he’s heard her testimony. Court could be such a rehearsed play. “Thank you, Ms. Jones, no further questions.”

The trial was very straight forward. Jessica had witnessed the attempted murder, and the rest of the cases had plenty of fingerprints to place him with the body. The only reason they were there at all was because The Digger was going for an insanity plea, but Murdock wasn’t having any of it. Without Jessica’s witness testimony, there may have been a chance of reasonable doubt because Krupp worked at the cemetery and his fingerprints could just be on the tools others used. Circumstantial evidence, it was called. It had taken weeks of exhuming and using some sort of underground sonar to find all of the bodies, as they were hidden amongst the graves that actually belonged there. She had to admit that hiding bodies in a cemetery was a good plan.

“Has the jury reached a verdict?” The judge was a tiny woman with a high voice. It didn’t fit one’s general picture of a judge.

“We have your honor. We find the defendant guilty on all counts.”

…

Two years later, no one was thinking about the Digger. He was old news, and New York city was never short on new crime to report on. So when the man escaped from prison, nobody thought that maybe Jessica, Matt, and Foggy should be the first people to know. The serial killer did blame them for being put behind bars, especially Jessica. Instead, they found out on the news with everyone else. Jessica was at a bar and saw it on the tiny TV. Luke was helping a friend move by doing all the heavy lifting, so Jessica had taken the opportunity for a solo night. Being engaged was great and all, but she needed some time alone sometimes.

Slamming some money onto the bar, Jessica ran outside dialing Matt. “Hey Jess, what’s up?”

“Have you heard the news tonight?” She asked. As she walked in the direction of her apartment, she was constantly scanning for anything suspicious. Just to be safe, she took an indirect root home.

“No, what’s wrong?” His voice was sharp.

“The Digger escaped,” she murmured into the receiver. She wanted to seem natural, not stick out of the crowd. If she yelled the way her nerves wanted her to, she would’ve been spotted by any potential pursuers immediately.

“Shit,” the sound came out as a hiss in Jessica’s ear. “I can protect Foggy but is Luke around so you’re not alone?”

“He’s busy tonight. I think I’ll call Trish to get me at home and we can lock up tight at her place.” It was a good enough plan. She had the security of a bunker. Her own apartment would be a terrible idea. She and Luke had agreed that they didn’t need any intense locks considering how hard they were to hurt. Plus they were too poor for good security, but their life was fine for them.

“Text me when you’re there so I know you made it.”

“Of course,” Jessica confirmed. She ended the call and looked around again. It was only one more block. There were some things she’d want from the apartment if she was going to Trish’s (mainly her own liquor, Trish’s choices were atrocious) then she’d call her.

…

Matt was bouncing his leg up and down anxiously. “Maybe I should go looking for her,” he started. Jessica wasn’t answering his calls, and Trish never heard from her, and she could be dead. The police would never find him in time to save Jessica if the Digger had her. His MO was to bury his victims the same night. It was more difficult to keep live victims from calling attention or escaping than it was to just be rid of them before the morning light.

“Dude, that man is stronger than Jessica! Plus even you aren’t going to be able to hear her from far away and through a coffin,” Foggy countered, not unkindly. He wasn’t really close to Jessica like Matt was, probably because he didn’t have the whole hero thing they had, but he still liked the woman. She was crass and blunt in a refreshing way when one spends their days in stuffy courtrooms. Matt wasn’t thinking clearly though. “We should call in the big guns on this one, there’s no time to fuck around.”

Matt cocked his head. “The big guns?” His leg had stopped bouncing.

“Yeah, the Avengers! I bet Stark can find her with his resources in no time.” Foggy thought it was a great plan. Sure the Avengers generally stayed out of Hell’s kitchen, letting the local heroes sweat the smaller time villains and organized crime, but he had no doubt they’d help if asked.

Matt honestly hadn’t even thought of it. He dialed Natasha automatically, since they were already friends. “Hey Nat, I need your help…”

…

Jessica woke up in the dark. She tried to sit up and promptly hit her head. She looked around in the pitch black, feeling the small box she was in. “Well fuck.” She tried to push up on the lid with her considerable strength, but there had to be metal reinforcing the thing and keeping it shut, because it didn’t budge. “Fuuuuck,” she groaned. This was not a good way to go, and nobody would find her easily for a rescue. She wondered how long it would take her to suffocate.

That was when the staggered pitter patter of dirt on the coffin above her began. Great, she was already in the ground. She was being buried alive. Krupp’s voice startled her, and she hit her forehead on the surface above her again.

“True! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story…” The Diggers voice was clear in Jessica’s ears. It made no sense given how thick this trap had to be to hold her in. It took a few more moments of the story for her to realize that she had small speakers in her ears. She pulled one out, but could hear her murderer regardless.

She considered crushing the devices, but decided she’d rather sit through the pain of listening to the creep than be left completely alone down here. The voice was disturbingly comforting when you were alone in the dark underground. Like the Digger was somehow accompanying her to her death. The story was also comfortingly familiar… Was this Poe? Jessica sighed, holding her panic at bay by willpower alone. Maybe a miracle would happen.

The air wasn’t helping her anymore. She kept breathing, harder and faster, but it was just recycled CO2 at this point. It felt a little like drowning slowly. “...Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment...” She heard the man continue, and enough dirt must be on top of her by now that it covered the box completely, for she no longer heard the dirt hitting. There was no holding back the instinctual panic that overtook her. Her lungs burned for air but the air around her was useless.

“...But the beating grew louder, louder! I thought the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety seized me --the sound would be heard by a neighbour! The old man's hour had come! With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern and leaped into the room. He shrieked once --once only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him. I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done. But, for many minutes, the heart beat on with a muffled sound…” The Tell-Tale Heart, her brain finally supplied her, not that it mattered. Jessica had to hand it to the man, it was a good choice. Her own racing heart seemed to be mimicking the old man’s in the story. Her lips were tingling and her vision was becoming crowded with black spots. She could no longer hear the narration over her own roaring heartbeat that blurred into the sound of a rushing wave. Jessica passed out just as she saw a sudden influx of light and a blurry red figure.

Tony had landed, broken the serial killer’s arms, and left Steve in charge of watching him. It had taken JARVIS and him a several hours to locate them, and it was hard to tell how long Jessica Jones had been underground. He wasted no time using a repulsor to blast away the dirt all at once. He melted the locks and ripped the metal coffin open only to see the woman close her eyes with a shudder. Her lips were blue and her hands were bloody from beating on the inside of the box. He couldn’t help the swell of panic that washed over him at just the thought of being buried alive. Tony thought the cave had given him claustrophobia, but this…

Tony quashed the panic, there was no time. He lifted the faceplate of the suit as he lifted Jones’ light body onto the ground above so he could give mouth to mouth. He heard Steve sigh in relief with him when the girl gasped and began heaving in air on her own. When her eyes fluttered open, she was met with Tony’s concerned face. She wasn’t dead. Jessica began crying with relief, and the Tony Stark caressed her face. “You’re okay now, I promise,” he assured.

The soggy laugh that burst out of her surprised both of them. “This isn’t how I wanted to meet an Avenger.” God, the man had just saved her life, and she was awkward and star-struck.

The admission startled a laugh out of Tony as well. He helped the younger woman sit up shakily. “Well it’s nice to meet you anyways, Ms. Jones. I’m glad you’re alive.” He beamed at her.

Jessica shook his hand. This was all surreal. Now that she was sitting up, she noticed Captain America was there too. She waved at him, and he waved back, looking a little confused. SHIELD agents had just arrived and were cuffing the escaped convict, so Steve walked over. Jessica and Tony both stood, and Jessica was already feeling much better. It was hard to believe she had just nearly died. Before she could utter a sound in greeting, Tony clapped an armoured hand on Steve’s shoulder, “Steve Rogers, meet Jessica Jones, star of the night.” Tony was making grand gestures and speaking like a talk show host. It broke the awkward mood and he felt victorious.

“Nice to meet you, ma’am,” Steve chuckled, shaking her hand.

“Thank you both for saving me,” she remembered to say. Trish was going to be so jealous that she met Iron Man and Captain America!

Tony snorted loudly. “Steve, I told you no one uses ma’am anymore,” he teased. He met Jessica’s gaze with a grin. “I heard a rumour that you might be able to keep up with even my drinking, wanna test the theory? How better to celebrate being alive than a celebration drink?”

She could see the mischief in his eyes, and Steve was blushing as though Tony embarrassed him. “Oh, you think you know drinking until you’ve gone out with me,” she challenged.

The two men shared a silent conversation of facial expressions. Tony must’ve gotten the response he wanted because he let out a whoop. “You’re on, Jones!” And that was how Jessica Jones, PI, became friends with Steve Rogers and Tony Stark. The other Avengers proceeded to weasel their way into her life by the end of the weekend. Her life was strange.
