Kate sat down and took her mother's hand again.

Jay just looked at her.

After a couple of minutes, there was a knock on the door.

Jay looked over at the door, it was probably Kate's friend.

Kate looked up and let go of Maria's hand to go over and open the door. "Matt," she sighed and he stepped in.
When he saw Maria on the bed, he deadpanned. "Kate…" he began, then he saw Jay and squinted suspiciously. "Who's that?"

"hey." Jay said and waved with a smile.

"That's Jay. He's a friend," Kate said with a smile.
Matt nodded absently. "My dad's coming in a few."
"Oh…" Kate whispered softly.

"who is your dad?" Jay asked.

Matt looked over at him. "Phil Coulson," he replied smartly.
"His dad works with my mom at S.H.I.E.L.D.," Kate clarified.

"I should go." Jay said and got up.

"Why?" Kate asked, walking over to him.

"I just probably go. um my dad…. He might be home." Jay said already knowing his dad was not home. Then he walked to the door.

Kate watched him sadly.
"Who's your dad?" Matt asked. Kate elbowed him in the side.

He hesitated before answering. "Edward Nygma. The Riddler." He said.

Matt blinked disbelievingly. "You're friends with a villain's son?!"
"Jay, you should probably go," Kate whispered.

Jay nodded already leaving. He walked out and down the hall.

"Kate, are you serious?! You let him go?" Matt demanded.
"He's innocent! He helped me!" she argued. "If you're only going to fight with me, I suggest that you leave."
"I'm not trying to fight with you, I'm trying to protect you, Kate."

Jay kept walking down the hall then stopped and turned around. He walked back into the room and smiled at Matt. "You seemed nice." He said then punched Matt in the face and walked away.

Kate called after Jay, "What was that?!" She knelt beside Matt and looked at his face "Are you okay?"

Jay smiled and walked down the hall and out to the parking lot. Knowing exactly why he punched Matt. It was because he already knew what Matt assumed of him, he is a villain's kid so he must be bad too.

"Ah, I guess," Matt groaned. "Next time I see him…"
"Don't," she cut in.

Jay got to his car started it up and left.

"When is your dad coming?" she asked.
"He didn't say."

Jay drove half of the way home then ran out of gas. He sighed. Just because he never drove this often he hasn't put gas in recently. Jay leaned back in his seat.

He chuckled lightly "people tell me that all the time, it's didn't work with them and it won't work with you."
