An Engaging Afternoon at the Bates Motel: Emma Decody Meets Jessica Jones
Emma Decody: You know, Jessica, Bates Motel isn’t exactly bustling with action these days. It’s a far cry from the cases you tackle in New York.
Jessica Jones: (smirking and leaning back in her chair) Yeah, my cases usually involve less… porcelain fixtures and more punching. But hey, your line of work has its own kind of excitement, right? You dealing with all those people… living and, well, not-so-living?
Emma: Oh, trust me, managing a motel where the guests aren’t always breathing can be quite the adventure. But I find comfort in it somehow. It’s predictable, in a morbid kind of way. How about you, ever think about taking it easy and settling down in a place like this?
Jessica: (chuckles) “Taking it easy” is not exactly in my dictionary, Emma. Plus, I’m not sure if the tranquility of Bates Motel really screams Jessica Jones. Might drive me crazier than I already am.
Emma: (smiling) Well, you’re always welcome here. We could make quite the team—a superhero sleuth and a motel manager. Who knows what mysteries we could solve?
Jessica: (takes a swig from her flask) As long as there’s enough whiskey to go around, you might just tempt me.
Emma: (laughs) Deal! Besides, if anything out of the ordinary happens, your skills would definitely come in handy.
Jessica: (grinning) And I’m sure yours would help keep things… tidy.
As they share a laugh, the sun begins to set, casting long shadows across the empty parking lot. In that moment, two women from very different worlds find common ground, if only for an afternoon.
