[ Jesus, Jack spits under his breath, and now they're making a scene. Much more attention and someone's going to call the cops, and hell if Jack wants to explain why he, drunk, and a friend, even drunker, were driving around the city, or why Tony is on the fritz, or why people watched a terrified man scrabble into an alley pursued by a different one. ]

Will you stop? [ He has to remember that he has no right to get annoyed, hand curling briefly into a tight fist at his side as he rides it out. ] I didn't want to hurt you, Tony. I wasn't gonna hurt you.

[ Feels like he's talking to a cat. Jack even hunches down (away from the vomit, gross) and leans up against the alley wall, grinding dirt and grime into his borrowed clothes. ]

I just wanted to scare you. [ He makes himself sound pathetic, just a little pleading. ] Just wanted you to stop. Gimme a number. Who do I call to pick you up, T? Somebody that can take you home and get you away from me.

[ It's impossible not to recognize that number - shit, she wrote it on his hand in gel pen once. Jack's eyes squint, widen with realization, narrow again.

What he wants to do is stroll over there and kick the living hell out of Tony. Like he might have done in the old, old days if they'd ran into each other without Sofia in play. And he just imagines it for a second, eyes shutting. Takes a deep breath in, lets it out in a hard rush. The anger he can handle - has always handled. It's the stark pleasure he gets from punishing people that fucks him up.

What he actually does is simple. Jack sneers for a moment before heading back to the car and retrieving Tony's phone, returning slow and purposeful. Could be a stalk, but it isn't. Jack hurls Tony's phone at him and turns to go. If Tony lets him, that's it; Jack slips around the corner and disappears.

Fuck it. He'll walk.
