Jayne can see the potential in working with him, but the man says all the wrong things, he never smiles and has an unnatural fixation with her posterior. A talented artist and gifted costumer, Jayne Wright has always been a bit different. They both are ready to get into the comic book arena, but neither is sure what will be the cost to play..
