By the Causeway, Saturday morning

Jessica hadn't been expecting any visits from anyone this Parents Weekend since, you know, she didn't really have parents or family or anything. But then she got a text from President Cap.

Miles will be visiting for the weekend. Please help him out.

Which was weird. She hadn't seen Miles in months. She hadn't heard from anyone in SHIELD in longer. Still, she made her way up to a roof with a cup of coffee bright and early in the morning and waited for him. When she finally saw him walking across the Causeway, she shot him a text.

Tall building, roof.

She wasn't expecting the response she got.

No. Ground.

She rolled her eyes and sighed. Kids, right?

Roof. It's a great view.

She saw him stop, look up, and text back.

I'm not doing this.

One more sigh and Jessica made sure nobody was looking before hopping off the roof and swinging down to meet Miles. "If you're worried that somebody would spot you, there's no need. You're good enough, and everyone's too wrapped up in their own guest drama this morning. How're you doing?"

He just shoved his hands in his pockets and shrugged.

"Miles? What's going on?"

[OOC: Please ignore the webswinging since I won't be reporting that about myself anyway. Specifics of the conversation between Jessica and Miles is NFB, please. Otherwise, open and for broadcast!]

"Don't pretend you didn't hear," Miles said. "SHIELD wouldn't have sent me here if you hadn't."

"There's a lot that SHIELD does that they don't tell me about," Jessica said. "Literally an hour ago I got a text from the President of the United States saying you would be visiting for the weekend. That's all I know. If I knew more, you'd know because I wouldn't be so confused."

Miles took a minute to watch Jessica's face for any sign that she was playing him here. And then his shoulders dropped, any indignation gone with a sigh. "My mom died. Because of me."

"Oh my god," Jessica said, reaching down to give him a hug. "What happened?"

"There was a Venom. A guy with a Venom symbiote thing. He wanted to eat Spider-Man to make himself whole or something, and he thought my dad was Spider-Man, and Venom hurt him," Miles explained. "I ended up fighting him again at the hospital where my dad was, I got the symbiote off, NYPD started shooting at the guy and a stray bullet got my mom."

"That's terrible. I'm so sorry," Jessica said. "But Eddie Brock is dead? Venom, I mean. Venom's gone?"

"Who's Eddie Brock?" Miles asked. "This guy was some guy named Marcus Conrad. Some big shot scientist as some big shot science place."

Roxxon. It had to be Roxxon. There was no other company in the world evil enough to make new Venoms. Jessica only barely kept her out and out rage at Roxxon as she stood up and said, "Well, I don't know if you needed to get away. But if you did need to get away, this is a good place to do it."

"Thanks," Miles said. "I probably do need a little time away from New York."
