[ Right, because before he was Resident Dad he was the Punisher, and before he was the Punisher he was Rambo. If she had the internet as a resource here, she would have researched him inside out several times over, right down to his wife's secret Pinterest board. Without the option, she cuts down her assumptions until they fit the puzzle. He had someone to defend, way back, but all he's left behind is a fugitive's life, and maybe one day, he'll end up the same way in this place.
Weird thing to hope for while he's extending some battlefield kindness, but there's comfort in knowing what his worst will be. She can still put down the Punisher, if necessary, and god knows he can protect himself from the mundane threats. It's up to him to separate that life from the one he's building here, to monitor himself for inevitable breaches. He's a piece of shit, like her. Just better at playing it down around civilians. She prefers to alienate them, and the ones that refuse to comply -- well, she never stops trying to save a life.
Jess isn't hesitant in leaning across and putting her lips to his even though she thinks he's more likely to push her away. It would be better for him if he did, she's only tried to drill that into his head since day one. And if he doesn't, she doesn't really want him to. There's a well of aggression and helplessness she can't spar out like so many others, that she hasn't gone to in too long for fear of spreading her poison. Some hot, rough sex would be nice right now, is all. ]
