Jessica sat in her little hiding place watching people walk by she noticed a lot of them dressed alike in green and yellow they looked ugly. Everyone else looked normal, but none of them were very nice doing things to each other or killing them. Young, Jessica just wished she could go back to Mount Wundagore most people didn't like her there, but at least it wasn't this bad and she didn't have to steal to eat nor were people killing each other. Sticking to the shadows Jessica waited until no one was around or looking she took a few sandwiches and a bottle of water before taking off disappearing into the crowd before anyone could see her.
Back at her little home she ate one of the sandwiches, drinking part of the water, she set the bottle down except it didn't stay there it was stuck to her hand. She shook her hand, trying to get the bottle off, but it wouldn't budge. Annoyed, she grabbed it with her other hand, which it stuck to as well she flung the bottle as hard as she could sending the half full bottle sailing through the air to parts unknown. She looked down at her hands confused over what had just happened. She touched her index fingers together to see if they would stick to one another, then pulled them apart to find that they didn't she then tried the second sandwich she didn't stick to that either. This was weird. What was the difference between the bottle and everything else she had tried? She had no idea it also didn't explain how she could do that other thing that had killed the first and last boyfriend she ever had. Why were all these weird things happening to her? She wished she could find her parent's maybe then she could find some answers or maybe they knew where to get help? Or or fix this and get rid of it.
Sighing to herself she got up, walked over to pick up the bottle she had tossed hoping the water hadn't spilled out of it. She looked up just as a rumble of thunder overhead let everyone know a storm was on the way. "Great..." now she had to find some place she could stay until the storm passed. Pulling on the hoodie she had taken she stuck the bottle and sandwich inside as she walked over to the ladder she made her way back down to street level before pulling the hood up and keeping her head down she began her look for a home for the night.

Jessica wandered about trying to find some place, but wasn’t having any luck and that bad luck got worse when it started to pour. Wonderful now she looked like a drowned rat in a hoodie. She had to find some place she could wait out the rain at least for a little while. After checking to make sure it was clear Jessica began her run across the street there was a building nearby that had a canopy type thing that she could stand under for a little while. As she made her way across the street a car came out of nowhere came barreling down the street. Hearing the tires screeching was the last thing she remembered just before the thing hit her sending her airborne before landing hard on the ground where she laid there for who knows how long no one was rushing to help her no one cared that much in this part of the city. Until one man showed up, he checked to see if she was dead or not when he found she wasn’t he called for a car to pick them up. Putting her in the back seat they drove off into the night.
Jessica woke up with a light shining in her eyes, she moved her head away from the light until the doctor turned it off. The doctor was surprised to see that she wasn’t hurt that bad or worse dead after being hit like she had been. She might not have any broken bones, but that didn't mean she wasn't sore. She sat up slowly as the doctor and some man talked in another room about what to do with her. Whatever they were planning she didn't want to be apart of so while they talked, she snuck out of the room taking off down the hall before going down another, then another she was lost and had no idea how to get out of this building or wherever she was. Growing tired of all these halls, she just picked a door and went through it. She didn't get a chance to look where she was because she could hear voices of the people who had seen her running around and followed her.
She tried to find a way out of this strange room Jessica didn't get very far before she heard a noise just as something hit her in the forehead causing her head to snap back and she fell to the ground. Rain looked up from the new scope she was sighting in when she saw the girl drop as a group came in the one person she remotely knew was Otto he recruited people for HYDRA. That must have been what he was doing with the girl until the idiot next to her shot the would be new member. Laying her rifle down, she grabbed her knife and stabbed the man in the chest with it. They might have been night training, but that didn't mean he couldn't see the girl down there. She didn't feel bad for killing him she never liked him talked too much and tried to sleep with her more than once he wasn't her type. Getting up, she pulled the knife out as she made her way down to the group and the girl who didn't look very dead.
Rain stayed back out of the way it was a good thing she did too the girl woke up and freaked out with everyone there, she pushed everyone away trying to get out of the room. But they wouldn't leave her alone, that's when she attacked with some kind of greenish blast? Rain wasn't sure what it was but when the light died down everyone was dead other than Rain and Otto. She looked out the door to see the girl was gone to where she didn't know. The two shared a look before stepping over the bodies and began their search for the scared girl. Viper wasn't going to be happy when she found out about this.

Having a girl running, uncontrollably, around the base while HYDRA recruits were being murdered for their incompetence? No, Viper wouldn't like that. Well, perhaps she wouldn't mind the removal of a few idiots in the ranks. That, at least, would be a good thing. But while this was all happening, Viper was relaxing and soaking in her overly large bathtub. Even her most trusted advisers knew better than to disturb her during these times. Rain would likely be the only one able to walk away unharmed if she decided to intrude.
Viper had been in the tub for a longer than usual period since, during a training exercise, one of her sparring partners had managed a lucky shot at her lower back. It wouldn't have nearly as bad as it was had Viper not taken the hit as a personal insult and aggravated it further by showing the poor fellow that luck never came into consideration when fighting completely depending on skill and tactics. She walked away sore and he was carried out on a stretcher. If he recovered, it was quite possible he would be promoted.
The lights were low, the only real illumination coming from a few candles spaced around the room and tub. Soft classical music as she sipped on a glass of wine and took a long drag from a cigarette. It was a horrible vice, one which she barely ever did anymore, but sometimes the occasion called for it. Besides, it wasn't like she would ever die from lung cancer. Sighing, she relaxed further and sank further into the lavender scented water, trying to forget all the trouble that had happened over the past few days.

Jessica raced down the halls up and down whatever stairs, she came up with Rain hot on her heels and Otto brings up the rear of the chase. Rain was the only one fast enough to keep up with the girl, but just a bit slower in being able to catch her. After some time Jessica had made her way to an upper floor unlike her Rain knew where they were at but that wasn't going to stop her. Her job was to catch the girl and keep her from causing any more trouble which she had hoped it would have been before they had gotten to this floor the girl was clever she gave her that. Thankfully, hardly anyone came to this floor unless it was to clean everyone knew better which meant no one would get in the way or do something thing stupid.
Jessica was getting close to the end of the hall the only thing there was a door where it went she had no idea, but it was better than being caught by the woman chasing her. Not slowing down the teen smashed through the door trying to think of what to do gave Rain enough time to tackle her through the bathroom door. The two went tumbling Jessica ended up getting thrown into the bathtub Rain hit the side and broke her arm. Well, she finally caught her, not the way she wanted, but she did it. Rain laid on her back catching her breath until she lifted her left arm seeing that it bent the wrong way she used her other hand to push it back the way it should be. Didn't sound very good, but it'd heal by the time she sat up then ducked back down as a candle went sailing by hitting Otto, who had been standing outside the room trying to catch his breath until he got hit in the face with a flaming candle. Rain ignored Otto's screams of pain from the hot wax as she grabbed a hold of Jessica's wrists to keep her from throwing or doing anything else to anyone. That's when she noticed Viper was there in the room "Otto thought she'd be of use to HYDRA although I don't think he realized she'd be such a handful. Nor had powers she couldn't control which cost a number of agents and a doctor their lives." Jessica glared at Rain still tying to get free even though it was useless.

This floor was supposed to have been private. The access was supposed to have been severely restricted. The door was supposed to have been locked and made of reinforced steel; able to withstand a battering ram. And yet, here were three individuals intruding upon Viper's private floor. To make matters worse, one landed practically on top of her in the bathtub. The first one to make any sort of sound or movement would be the initial victim of Viper's wrath. The happened to be Otto Vermis and his damn wheezing breaths. Grabbing the nearest, still lit votive, Viper hurled the large candle holder at the man's face with a snarl. His scream of pain at the hot wax and breaking glass hitting his face made her feel only microscopically better.
"Do not give me excuses!" she snarled at Rain as she stepped out of the tub, left hand reaching for a towel while her right removed a small pistol from its hidden location behind the tiling. Covering herself, and with fury clear upon her face, Viper stormed over to Otto and, without saying a word, pistol-whipped him hard across the face. "Get out of my sight!" she yelled, kicking him down the hallway. Otto's not so speedily retreat not to her liking, Viper motivated him further by grazing his left arm with a bullet. It wasn't until he was out of sight did the green haired woman recover even a sense of emotional stability.
Gazing at the broken door, cracked tiles, and other destruction, Viper tried to calm herself before speaking. That took her a few minutes. Eventually though, she calmed down enough to look at Rain and the other woman. She was young, as well as wet and looked rather pissed off. "At least get her out of the tub," Viper told Rain as she left the bathroom through another door connected to her bedroom suite. Picking up her phone, she contacted security. "Call off the search," she said bluntly. The man on the other end tried to argue, but Viper would have none of it. "Do I need to repeat myself? Call off Vermis' search or I will come down there myself and add another body to the list of casualties!" Almost immediately, the blinking red light on nearby display went dark. Hanging up, Viper returned to still wrecked bathroom.
"You're safe for the time being," she told the young woman. "Vermis won't be happy about my order just now, but as you can tell, I outrank him. I control this base. Now, that does not mean that I can stop you from running down that hall and back down that stairwell, but the battalion of armed soldiers that is most likely assembled and waiting for you probably will. I should also mention that we are in one of the tallest buildings in Madripoor, so jumping out my bedroom would not be a wise choice either. Besides, if you did, and you did manage to somehow survive the drop, I believe Rain would follow. She's stubborn like that. So, that being said, how about you dry off and we can go into the other room and discussion your current situation. I'll even provide you dinner while we talk," she offered, placing a fresh towel near the girl.

Rain stopped talking all together, helping the girl out of the tub as she was told to. Jessica didn't feel at all sorry for the creepy old man he should have left her alone instead of bringing her here to this place whatever it was. "I was hit by a speeding car then shot in the head and I can shoot lightning out of my hands are you sure I'm the one who should be fearing the armed battalion and not the other way around?" No point in keeping quite these guys knew about this stuff and would most likely tell this woman. "I don't know what a Madripoor is but at this point I probably could survive that drop." She lived through everything else so why not that? She hadn't been around a whole lot six or seven months since she came out of that box thing and most of the time was spent living near Mount Wundagore and a short time here on the island. She did learn a lot of things, but not as much as you think. Like the name of the island. Because she hadn't, came here on her own and she wasn't sure how she got here or how to get home.
Jessica looked at Rain from the looks of it, she'd rather jump out the window and chase the teen more than be around this lady any longer. Jessica didn't blame her she wasn't even sure she wanted to be around this lady much longer. Rain got up and left the two alone to do whatever she was going to find someone to abuse most likely Bob it always made her feel better. Alone with the green haired monster lady just wonderful Jessica sighed before picking the towel and started drying herself off. When she was done, she went looking for the green haired lady wondering what they were going to be talking about and had a feeling she wasn't going to like it.

"Can you deflect bullets? Are you invulnerable?" Viper asked honestly. "To a degree, yes it seems so, if you survived a bullet to the head. And shooting lightning from your hands is very useful, but unless you hit all of your targets at once, it's quite possible that the survivors would fire back, incapacitating you. It's not a matter of being afraid of your enemies, it's a matter of being smarter than them." At the girl saying she had no idea what Madripoor was, Viper couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Madripoor is the name of both the city we are in and the island it is on. How could you not know where you are?"
Viper nodded to Rain as she left, quietly relaxing a bit more while trying to figure out what to do with the girl. Motioning for her to follow, Viper retrieved a robe from her closet and slipped it on. "If you would like to change into something dry, look through my closet. We look to be about the same size," she told her, quickly giving her a once over. Sitting in a chair, Viper watched the girl, a little more intently. Something was bothering her, but she couldn't quite figure out why. Perhaps it was all due to the recent insanity, but then again, perhaps not. "What is your name and how did you come to this place, a place you did not know the name of?" Naturally, she would question Vermis later, and see what he was doing with 'gifted' individuals, but, as of right now, it would be easier to deal with getting answers from the girl while keeping her calm and giving her a sense of safety.

"I can stick to....stuff..." Yeah, that didn't sound so great when said out loud that was probably about as pointless as anything. "Unless their wearing metal and most guns are metal." It didn't matter if she hit them all lightning did like to jump around with lightning rods about. "The last thing I remember is being in my home near Mount Wundagore the next thing I know I'm here no idea where here was other then people were killing each other or worse." she couldn't remember anything else which probably didn't help her at all.
It was kind of weird going through Viper's clothes, but she, probably, be more mad if Jessica sat around in wet clothes ruining her Furniture. Didn't she own anything that wasn't green or a catsuit? It didn't really look like it, oh wait, never mind there were some green dresses. It took a while, but she finally found something that wasn't totally a catsuit but was still tight fitting. "Jessica Drew. Didn't really have money to buy a newspaper to find out where I am. Nor wanting to go to any of the stores to buy one." she had been living in the worse part of the island yet somehow managing to stay alive the whole time she had been here. "You sure like the color green." noticing how much green there was all over the place. She liked green but also red she couldn't decide which one she like more.

"Sticking to things, mild invulnerability, and shooting electricity from your fingers…" That sounded like someone was trying to do a mix of spider powers and God only knew what else. But no, it didn't sound impressive. Instead it just sounded messed up. "True, metal conducts electricity, but what if you're up against people who've encountered individuals with magnetic powers? They are learning not to have metal on their bodies. Plastic and composite weaponry are starting to be made," Viper reasoned. She wasn't trying to bring the girl down, rather she was trying to learn her thought processes and to see if she could actually think on her feet. "Wundagore Mountain? Not many people live on or near that mountain for various reasons. Mostly local superstitions. But, perhaps, if you want to travel there at some point, we can see if anyone knows you or your family.
Jessica Drew. Viper didn't recognize the name, nor could she hear any definite accent as the girl talked, leading her to the belief that perhaps she wasn't native to Wundagore Mountain, unless she was educated somewhere else. That was always a possibility. "It would also help if you spoke the language. The High Town area of Madripoor, where we are, caters to many different cultures and regions, allowing you to hear a multitude of languages. But Low Town consists of mostly southeast Asian languages or whatever the majority of the locals speak. So depending where you are in the city, you are given very different experiences."
And there it was; the comment about the color of her wardrobe. Of the few people that had ever been allowed in her bedroom, that was the comment they made most often. She did have clothes in other colors, but… "I wear the color green to show my allegiance to HYDRA. They took me in when I was very young. Gave me a home and a family when I didn't have one."
Looking up as Jessica exited from the closet, Viper saw why she had a nagging feeling when it came to this young woman. It was like looking into a mirror. Yes, she lacked both the scars that Viper had as well as her time hardened features, but they did look like each other. Standing, she walked Jessica over to a mirror in order to compare features. There was no doubt then. They looked exactly alike, and it staggered Viper for some reason. She had used look-a-likes in the past, with plastic surgery and brainwashing, but they had never had powers or differing memories, and it had always been done with her knowledge and consent. But this girl was a clone. As Viper racked her brain as to why this would happen, it suddenly became clear. The Red Skull had put a contract on her life, a quick and quiet kill to get her out of the way and be replaced by this… clone. Someone he could control. That was why Vermis had followed her, running his little rat ass off, trying to stop Jessica before Viper found out.
Rather than using the standard base communications, Viper pulled out her personal cell phone and quickly sent a text to Rain: Do not let Vermis leave the base or wipe his computer files. Detain for questioning. That finished, Viper returned to her chair and sat down hard, a bit surprised by this all. "I would like to have a few blood tests run, Ms. Drew. In order to discover the extent of your powers as well as to have a bit of genetic mapping done. I swear that I will not let anyone harm you. I just wish to get to the bottom of this. Does that sound agreeable?"

"Lightning bolts can be as hot as 30,000 Kelvins which is hotter then the surface of the sun their plastic weapons and whatever else they have will melt all over them. And I'm sure just being near someone who get's hit by one it'd be just as painful." Jessica wasn't stupid she just wasn't, you know normal she did have schooling which was really the only thing she had going for her right now. "And if all else fails, pull the fire alarm then light them up plastic won't save them from that either." It wasn't rocket science in figuring out how to beat them plus she's seen a number of fire alarms on her way up here. "They know me, I kind of killed my boyfriend. A joke gone wrong. That's when I first learned I had powers."
"I think I lived in Low Town. Most of the people I dealt with or hid from were Asian." She was pretty sure she hadn't been in High Town at all it sounded fancy and nowhere had she been was nice at all. It wasn't so much living as roaming the streets until she could find some place to crash and hoped no one killed her while she was asleep.
Jessica started to protest at being dragged around thinking the woman was going to kill her or something until they stopped in front of a mirror "Hey! What are you....doing??" she looked in the mirror at the older woman for once she realized the two of them looked kind of alike. She wasn't really sure how much alike, though half of Viper's face was hidden by her hair this was getting weird like really weird.
Rain wasn't all that far from Vermis when she got the text from Viper they had just released him by the time she got down to that area. She looked up from her phone made eye contact with Vermis who then tried to run only to have his right kneecap shattered by a well placed kick. Ignoring his screams of pain Rain ordered the nearby guards to take him to one of the rooms for questioning on Viper's orders. Rain texted Viper back with the room number that Vermis was waiting for her in. "It's not them, I'm worried about hurting me." the goon squad was the last of her worries, it was Viper that would most likely do something to her. "What's to stop you from putting a bullet between my eyes?"

Viper let Jessica continued to talk and explain her reasoning for not being afraid of the HYDRA soldiers, smirking softly all the while. The girl was smart and sharp as a tack. She apparently had an answer for everything. "Intelligent and observant. Those two traits can come in very handy in the right occupation." Did Viper want this girl to stay with HYDRA? Oh, absolutely. But things would need to be handled gently and carefully, not rushing to far ahead too soon. "I am sorry for the loss of your boyfriend, Jessica. Love ones dying is never an easy thing to handle. But, if others played a joke on you, then his death was an accident and not truly your fault."
Viper had assumed the girl had been in Low Town all this time, as the police of the more wealthy areas didn't appreciate vagabonds and the homeless on their streets. There was a definite line drawn between those two areas that the two areas rarely crossed, unless it was for illegal reasons. "You don't have any reason to hide. Not anymore. I can offer you a safe place to stay, along with three meals a day."
With Jessica protesting and not quite seeing what Viper had seen, or at least not to the extent that she was, the elder of the two pull her hair back from her face, allowing the girl to see the full extent of their similarities, as well as her scar. It ran nearly the full length of her face; starting from the hairline, over the eye and curving along the cheek where it forked; one line fading towards her ear, while the other ended not too far past her cheekbone. It was an old injury and not the most prettiest of scars, but it did not entirely ruin the outline of her face. Her right eye was also intact and functioning, the only minus being that her lower lid was pulled down slightly. Not many people had ever seen her scar, and the short time she was sharing it made the woman feel mildly uncomfortable, causing her to drop her hair back in place.
"When I lost my family, I also gained that as a momento. But, I assume you could see that we look well enough alike for it to be more than just coincidence." When he phone buzzed in response, Viper sent a brief acknowledgement back before answering Jessica. "The fact that I have done nothing to you that would justify violence. I have protected you, even if it's just a minor action. I did not know of your existence and, at the moment, I am more mad at the man who created you and he is now in my custody. None of this is your fault," Viper explained, handing Jessica the phone in order to show the texts before sitting back down in her chair. "And I am being honest when I'm offering you a place to stay and things to eat. Though it does make me wonder… I could ask what's stopping you from electrocuting me and leaving? You appear to be able-body and smart enough to find your way out of here. Or at least try to."

"Being smart is more useful than being dumber than a bag of hammers." It also kept her alive while living on the streets, people might have had weapons, but that didn't mean they were smart if they were she'd probably be dead by now. "Doesn't really make those people forgive or forget what I did. They think I'm some kind of freak." And they'd be right nothing she had done lately has been normal, other than the pain of what had happened to her. "And what do you want in return?" living in Low Town she learned there was always a price for everything nothing was free.
Jessica looked at Viper's face now that she could see all of it including a nasty looking scar which explains why half her face was hidden. She was right, they did look a lot of like in a freaky sort of way. Give her another 10-15 years and she would look even more like Viper without the scar. "This is getting weird." she didn't know what else to say, nor did she know why they looked alike. "Created? Like some sort of monster?" She looked at the phone that was the creepy old man that had been following her around all over the place and chasing her down in here. "Déjà vu? I feel like I've done this already even though I haven't and I don't know why I'm feeling it." That was the best she could explain it. She didn't even understand what was going on anymore.

"Do you think you're a freak? That is the important question. Other people's opinions do not matter much, Jessica. Sometimes, all you need to worry about is your own." Viper had never been called a freak out right, but she had been named much worse, all of them given to her during her training, and all of them she was rather proud of. She had to smile at the girl's question; so quick and right to the point. "I will help you gain control of your abilities. We can learn about them together and you won't have anymore accidents you need to worry about. I can also teach you other skills, if you like. After that is all said and done, we'll move on from there." Viper was not about to give her any definite plans other than that, especially since Jessica seemed like such a free, independent, and stubborn spirit.
Viper had to agree with her, it was getting rather weird. "It is a guess, but yes, it's likely you were created, but trust me on this; you are not a monster." She had seen her fair share of monsters, and Jessica was not one of them. "The fact that we look so much alike could be coincidence, but I doubt it. You said you didn't know how you arrived here from Wundagore?" Those memories could have been implanted and the death of her boyfriend entirely made up. Viper would need to do a bit of research regarding that.
"Done what before? Seen Vermis before?" Viper raised an eyebrow at that. It would make sense. If she was an escaped clone, he would be held responsible, most likely…. The container Wolverine had mentioned going missing. If she had been in there, no wonder the Red Skull was upset. His plans hinged entirely on what was inside. Killing Viper without a replacement at the ready would have created turmoil and a power vacuum. If Jessica was in the box, he meant her to replace Viper. Keeping that thought in mind, Viper gestured to Jessica for her to sit. "Relax. We can take this as slow as you'd like. We will find out the answers to this mess, Jessica. I promise. In the meantime, would you feel better if you had something in your stomach? Low Town doesn't always provide the best when it comes to food."

"If I'm not a freak then what am I?" it wasn't just the powers she was talking about either she didn't know what she was or why she was here or what to do with herself now that she was. Learning how to control her powers would be a good thing a lot less problems she would have to deal with and far less deaths because of her powers. "I would like that. I don't want to kill everyone because I can't control my powers." that at least gave her something to do with herself for the time being after that? She had no idea what to do maybe by then she'd have some idea or at least more of an idea then she does now.
"So I look like you, only younger and I have weird powers from the looks of it you don't. I don't understand the point of it all." If Viper was right and she was created most likely to look like Viper why would they give her powers when Viper herself didn't have any? "I was working around the house I must have blacked out or passed out when I woke up I was inside some kind of box like container thing that was half open. I didn't stick around to find out what was going on I just ran as fast and as far as I could."
"No. Being in this room, this building. It feels like...it's like there's something in the back of my mind, but it's so far out of reach, but there's just enough to make me feel like I should know this place." That was the best she could explain the whole thing she sat down like Viper asked. Jessica didn't think she could relax too much was on her mind until Viper brought up food "Anything would be better then those crappy sandwiches I stole." she usually took food from one place it was easy a lot of people didn't like the owner and usually got in a fight with him it was then she'd food and drinks while he was busy and unable to stop her.

"You are Jessica Drew. What, do you expect me to say that you're a clone? That you're not a person, but actually a thing?" Viper said, giving her a questioning look. "You are… whatever you want to be, Jessica. That much I know. I also know that I will help you as best I can to control your powers."
The green haired woman nodded as Jessica went through what she did know and remember before her eyes widened slightly upon hearing about the container. So, she was what the Red Skull had been waiting on. This girl was created to be her replacement, or at least something close enough. But she clearly had an independent streak in her, or the brainwashing hadn't taken effect yet. Either way, this was actually good news. But, how to break it to her? Viper had to go about it carefully. Taking a deep breath, she slowly began to explain things. "You were in that box because one of the heads of HYDRA, the Red Skull, had intended to replace me with you. He had ordered my death, and probably wanted it to look like an accident or outside forces. But, as fate would have it, he ended up being the one killed. Not by my hand, though. It was an accident actually. He unintentionally made the wrong person mad. Why he wanted to replace me? I suspect he wanted more control. Why do you think this place seems familiar? Possibly due to my own memories implanted in a way to give you a basic layout of the base? Did you not find it odd that you could navigate the halls somewhat easily?"
Viper paused, thinking about what she had said, as well as trying to predict what Jessica would ask. "If you're worried about your life now, don't be. I've no reason to hurt you. The mastermind behind this is gone and you do not seem the type to be beholden to others wishes if you do not want to be. You're safe. And we will deal with Vermis together, if you like." As for their dinner, Viper picked up the phone and, calling down to the kitchen, asked for a variety of foods, some that she liked and others that she had never tried. Madripoor, being what it was, was a culinary melting pot; Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, and Korean food mixed with French, Italian, Brazilian, African, and various other cuisines from cultures that happened to cross the path of the little island nation. Hopefully Jessica would find something she liked.
