"It's not an ideal way to live," Dex admitted. "But I was proven right. The last time I opened up to anyone, he used what he learned about me to ruin my life and manipulate me." Honestly, he sounded almost more upset about the latter than the former. Dex could have been able to pick up all the pieces of his life if Fisk hadn't been there waiting in the wings to swoop in and provide his version of 'help.'
Dex noted the preference on bologna and went about putting everything else on the bread. He finished making two very large and full sandwiches that would have done any deli in NYC proud. Then he put a pickle off to the side on each of the plates and took one over to slide it in front of Ava before going over to the fridge. "What do you like to drink?"
He listened as Ava told him a little bit about her background while they ate. What he heard pinged some of that limited empathy that he was capable of, given how unfortunately similar their circumstances were. It was one of the only ways she would have been able to. "You too, huh?" Was he referring to having an adoptive parent, being an orphan that had happened because of an accident, or both? He didn't bother to say anything else that would make his question less vague. "What happens if it does get worse?"
