[Jessica is at Hudson River Park, sitting on the grass facing the Hudson and New Jersey. Beside her is Laura's still-to-be-named puppy, pouncing on a leaf blowing across the lawn.]

Brrr! It's gotten so cold all of a sudden. I can't believe it's autumn already! Before you know it, it'll be Halloween! And then Thanksgiving!

[She pats the ground and the puppy comes bounding back to her.]

Anyway, who all is going to the charity ball this weekend? I'm planning a shopping trip tomorrow after school if anyone wants to join me!

[This next part is purposely not filtered at all.]

Oh yeah! Hey, Text Guy! Hey!

[A pause.]

Jason. Yoohoo!

[She gives her most charming grin.]

Like, I know you think you're being super stealthy and stuff, but I've seen you creeping around the school. I saw you yesterday and I saw you again today, so don't try to deny it. What's the big idea? Why're you acting like such a weirdo? I know you're trying to be all scary and stuff, but sneaking around in broad daylight is not the way to do it. People are just gonna think you're a crazy stalker or something.

Gee, thanks.

... The clown that murdered your teacher. I know him.

You do? Is he from Gotham too?

Yep. It's a popular place.

You're not a friend of his, are you?

Hell, no. That doesn't mean he's not my problem.

That means you're a good guy then.

By an unpopular definition, sure.

You hate that clown, right?

Yeah. I do.

Then you're a good guy.

And not a creepy stalker.

I dunno if I'd go that far...

Can't be a creepy good guy, so far as I know, so pick.

Oh please! You've seen some of the people around here, haven't you? So much spandex! And not even pretty spandex!

Guess I'm desensitized. Grew up with it and all.

Oh. That's creepy.

Lots of things in life are creepy, objectively speaking. We just all kind of get over them.

I'm used to people running around in nylons and a cape. It's impractical as fuck, yeah, but I just can't see it as that weird.

Oh. See, where I come from, people who hang out around schools are considered creepy. Also people in loud spandex and capes.

Yeah well, I'm not doing it for my health, if that means anything.

Then why are you doing it?

I have to find him. I thought maybe if I could figure out why he attacked the school, it would help.

Aside from the obvious "he's a psycho and kids are an easy target", I mean.

You're a real hero, aren't you? I knew it!

I used to be. Now I'm just-- I don't know, something. Either way, that word is bullshit and makes people think they've got a moral high ground that, quite frankly, no one really deserves.

You're a good guy, though.

Fuck, whatever. Think what you want.
