if i had a nickel for every time ben barnes played a hot love interest who turns out to be the villain and gets scarred for season 2 I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

🐰 Billy Russo #51 please
Jigsaw (Billy Russo) x Reader
Prompt: Did you eavesdrop?
Summary: You're Billy's defence lawyer. Set at the start of Punisher Season 2. Not canon compliant, but adjacent I guess?
CW: Some swearing, f!reader, body shape, hair colour, eye colour etc are all left ambiguous. 2nd person, reader is referred to as "you"
Tumblr media
Billy Russo had known you for all of five minutes, which was more than enough time for him to decide that you were a stuck up bitch.
At first, he’d been thrilled when he’d heard the click of your high heels coming down the hospital hallway. Even if you proved to be as useless as the last lawyer his bosses had sent, he’d still have something pretty to look at. Then, you’d walked through the door.
You were pretty alright, in a corporate, tight laced kind of way. Your hair was pulled back into a delicate, but slick, French twist and you were wearing a dark grey blouse and black pencil skirt. Billy thought you’d look even better if you let your hair down and undid a couple buttons, but it became pretty evident you weren’t going to humour him the second you sat down.
“Tell me about the mask, Mr. Russo.”
You’d gone and dragged out the elephant in the room without so much as a blink, and yet you hadn’t bothered to even look Billy in the eye. He watched as you pulled file after file out from that briefcase of yours and placed them on the table beside his bed. Those thick, manila folders looked so out of place against your French manicure and slender hands.
“Are all of those mine?”
“The mask, Mr. Russo. You won’t do well on the stand if you can’t stay on topic”
Billy let out a barking laugh, the sound echoing against the concrete walls. Of course they’d sent him a ball buster. As if he hadn’t been through the wringer enough times already.
“Don’t you have my medical files somewhere in that pile of crap? You won’t do well questioning witnesses if you don’t have all the information”
If you were bothered by Billy throwing your words back in your face, you didn’t show it. Instead, you pulled out a legal pad and a ballpoint pen, crossed your pretty little ankles and looked at him as though this whole conversation bored you.
“I do have other clients to see today, Mr. Russo. If you’re going to waste my time, then I suggest you plead out and save the both of us a lot of trouble”
Billy sighed, then rolled his neck and squared his shoulders before speaking.
“The mask is…well, it’s something the docs came up with, to give me a sense of identity or some bullshit. They told me to draw what I wanted the world to see”
You studied him for a moment, your eyes tracing over the jagged black lines, skeletal nose and mismatched teeth Billy had painted. He tried not to shift in his seat, feeling oddly self conscious under your gaze.
“And this-“ you said finally, your tone confused instead of disgusted like Billy had anticipated “is what you want to show the world?”
“It’s better than horrific facial mutilation”
Your mouth quirked slightly up at the corners. It was a ghost of a smile at best, look away for even second and you’d miss it. Luckily for Billy, he’d been watching your lips for most of this conversation. The shade of red you’d chosen for your lipstick fascinated him. It was strangely out of place against the severity of your outfit, and much like your smile, hinted at a human being somewhere beneath your persona
“Well, it’s not going to go over well with the jury” you replied, your smile disappearing as you scribbled something down on your legal pad “On the slim chance this does go to trial, we should be focusing on your image. Unfortunately, at this time the public’s attitude towards you isn’t what we would call…favourable.”
“I believe your exact words were “PR clusterfuck”
Your pen froze in your grasp and you lifted your head to look at Billy. One of your neatly pencilled brows arched as you looked him in the eye.
“I may have said something akin to that when I spoke with your previous employers this morning, but that wasn’t my professional opinion nor was it something you were meant to hear. Did you eavesdrop?”
Even though he knew you wouldn’t see it, Billy couldn’t help but smile. He’d caught you holding your metaphorical dick, and you still had to be a lawyer about it.
“Is it really eavesdropping when you’re taking calls right outside my bedroom door?” he shot back, unable to keep some amusement from his voice. In truth, Billy wouldn’t know the first thing about criminal law if it walked up and punched him in the nose, but he knew more or less how to play the game and even better, how to be a pain in your ass.
You opened your mouth, to argue, to cuss him out, to ask him to screw you up against the wall maybe. He wasn’t ever going to find out, because at that exact moment your phone went off. You fished it out of your briefcase, glancing briefly at the screen before sliding it back into the front pocket and beginning to gather up your files.
“Where the hell are you going?”
Billy hadn’t meant to sound so accusatory, but it was hard not to. Everyone who came to see him was following the same pattern lately. Doctors, shrinks, and now you. They’d show up, poke and prod him a little, maybe shove something up his ass if he was particulary unlucky and then leave without so much as a “fuck you” in his general direction.
“I’m sorry Mr. Russo, as I said, I do have other clients. I’ll be in to see you next Thursday. We can start discussing strategies for a media campaign and perhaps go over what your trial testimony will look like should we need it.”
“Billy.”
You stopped, briefcase in hand and already heading towards the door, to glance at Billy over your shoulder. Your expression was as calm and neutral as it had been before, but when your eyes met his, he felt his heart skip a beat.
“Excuse me?”
He swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry, and cleared his throat before speaking.
“Could you call me Billy? Everyone calls me Mr. Russo, even the shrinks and I- that’s not- I’m just Billy, you know?”
That strange little half smile was playing about your lips again.
“Alright. I’ll see you next week then, Billy. Rest up, we have a lot of work to do.”

Ending of punisher was really stupid. I mean, the idea of it wasn’t that stupid, but the execution was done very stupidly.
Jon bernthal was absolutely amazing the whole show only to muck it up (I’m trying to work on not cursing) in the literal last minute of the final episode.
Also how come he didn’t go back to Beth!? They had a really solid thing going! I’m kinda annoyed about that, he was actually happy for .05 seconds.
I kinda get why people didn’t like that last season. The whole thing with the psychologist being a weirdo, the random super religious guy, the pictures essentially coming to be about having really homophobic but rich parents who’d have, like, 30 people murdered for something they could totally have claimed was faked, Billy just doing things that didn’t make any sense, Amy being really annoying, Mahoney walking around like he owned the world WHEN HE DOESNT EVEN REALLY DESERVE HIS JOB, Madani being a doormat, and just the whole second season I was waiting for a big reveal that would explain all the stuff that was going on and just nothing came.
And WHERE. WAS. MATT?!?! THEY COULD HAVE MADE THE ENTIRE SHOW SO MUCH BETTER IF THEY JUST ADDED MATT TO THE SHOW, DOING LITERALLY ANYTHING. OR HECK, BRING BACK LIEBERMAN, PUT IN LUKE CAGE, I DONT CARE, WHERE THE HECK IS EVERYBODY?!?!
How I would have done a season 2 of the punisher:
Frank is out and about, living his best life, moving on and stuff, and Amy comes in and stuff like that, but what she has isn’t a few stupid pictures of a forcibly closeted senator, she has info on a underground human trafficking ring, run by some big shot, say… I don’t know, the penguin (wrong universe) or Ma Gnucci (if you know who that is, GOOD JOB!) and he has to return to New York because she, kinda like kingpin, has the entire NY state government in the palm of her hand, but unlike in daredevil, Frank has no issue murdering people (this is not news) so he returns and decides to take em down with truth, justice, and a boatload of bullets, with the help of Karen, (fine…) Amy, Madani, and I don’t know… Night Thrasher. ANYONE, I DONT CARE. and as a background, semi irrelevant villain, you can have someone like, I don’t know, the owl (Leland something, total rando) or maybe black tarantula (again, total rando, not a huge threat, works for me) and he could be trying to kill Frank for some reason or another, and bing bang boom you have an infinitely better show, you’re welcome Netflix.
