Editing Jessica Yamada (section)

===Post-[[Mathers Compound Assault|Fallen fall]]===
Jessica became unresponsive to calls and texts immediately following the portal sabotage by [[The Fallen]]<ref>Each and every one of us had one name in common, someone they cared about, and for some, one of the only responsible adult figures who cared about them in turn.  She had every reason to be right at the epicenter, which didn’t make it better.
Today had proven more than anything that these guys still needed her.  What the hell was this team going to do without its therapist? - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/05/11/pitch-6-9/ Excerpt] from [[Pitch 6.9]]</ref>. In her absence, Victoria tried to fill her role in helping the therapy group.<ref>''I don’t know how I’m going to help these guys, Jessica.''<br/><br/>I found myself actually hesitating before approaching Sveta, Tristan and Chris.  The group had lost two of its members and its mentor in a matter of nine days. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2018/06/05/torch-7-5/ Excerpt] from [[Torch 7.5]]</ref>

Jessica survived the sabotage and was stranded alongside [[Riley]], [[Jamie Rinke]], and multiple other Wardens' personnel and ex-prisoners near a frontier settlement.<ref name="II17.6"/> Meanwhile, her notes about [[Breakthrough]] get delivered to [[Victoria Dallon]] as a contingency measure.<ref>[[Polarize 10.13]]</ref>

Jessica was second in command of the group, and was assigned to keep an eye on parahumans.<ref>Jessica nodded.  “I was second in command of our little group.  Leader when Van- when the self-elected leader wasn’t around or when he was sleeping. There were other, more distant camps, and he’d visit them.  The parahumans who had previously been prisoners or test subjects were in an isolated camp as well, about twenty minutes away from the main camp.  I was in charge of that one.  Making sure they were happy, keeping an eye out for danger.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/19/sundown-17-6/ Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.6]]</ref>

Shortly after [[Valkyrie]]'s arrival, Jessica had an ugly fight with Bonesaw because of mutual suspicion and both of them being on the end of their wits.<ref>This- a whirl of intensity, Jessica reaching out with a bleeding arm, grabbing a thin wrist, slamming it down into rocky ground until the attacker dropped the blade.  Frantic, even though it meant losing traction, Jessica reached out and swiped the knife, sending it flying ten or fifteen feet.<br/><br/>The hands that grabbed her arms were small.  Fingernails dug into forearm, and came away with fine white lines caught beneath small fingernails that had been painted pink.<br/><br/>Jessica knelt on the offending hand, pinning it down, and strangled- 
Strangled Bonesaw.<br/>[...]<br/>''Bonesaw never came back.  Jessica quit being a therapist.'' - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/09/21/from-within-16-12/#comment-103681 Excerpt] from [[From Within 16.12]]</ref> She was injured during the fight and, feeling inadequate, quit her job shortly after returning to [[The City]].<ref>“But that was what I felt in that moment.  In working with people with criminal inclinations, part of my job is to protect society, and working with five people with powers, only two a real and present concern, I’d failed to protect a tiny, primitive microcosm of society.  I got angry.  Desperate.  I tried to make her show me.  And somewhere in the midst of it, she lashed out, I grabbed her, or the other way around.”<br/><br/>“Are you okay?”<br/><br/>“She dug her fingers into my arm,” Jessica touched her sleeve.  “And used contacts on her nails to manipulate my nerves, trying to make my arm turn against me.  Tensed muscles until they tore from bone.  I still don’t have the strength I did, I still have constant pain, and that may be a reminder of my lowest moment, furthest from the person I wanted to be.”<br/>[...]<br/>“I can’t support or help anyone until I relearn how to support and help myself,” she told me.  “I know you want and need me to be my old self, but I need to rediscover her, first.  For myself first, then for others.  If that’s even possible.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/10/19/sundown-17-6/ Excerpt] from [[Sundown 17.6]]</ref>
