Fantasy stories? I thought you were into sci-fi. [No, he had mentioned fantasy before too, she's sure.] You really need to meet my LARPer friends.

Once for New Year. You?

Yeah, that's a good point. I'll text him tonight. Besides, it doesn't hurt to check how he is doing too.

Well, Star Wars is sort of like wizards in space, so you have a point. [At least, as far as she knows.] It will be fun. We can fence with foam swords and nobody will judge you.

Really? Well, we clearly need to fix that. I'm surprised you never went to Japan with all your ninja lore.

Will do.

Well, it's kinda nerdy but I really liked them as a kid. Dad loved them. We watched those and action flicks, that kinda stuff. [That actually brings up a memory.] He nailed the Gollum voice and had like these conversations with himself to freak me out. [It's crazy how she had almost forgotten about that.] Hey, you can play the mystical blind monk that shows up to kick ass with foam.

Well, it doesn't hurt to make plans then. I've been to Tokyo once but I wasn't super small, so I don't remember a thing. I need to do the temples and stuff one day.

Dad would have loved you. [A beat.] He would have -- Yeah, he would have loved Daredevil.

Well, there's temples and islands full of foxes and then some weird game with metallic balls that I understand even less than the language. But it all sounds pretty trippy and fun.

And he turned me into one too. Mom hated that about him. [And yet, Kate chuckles warmly at the memories.] Did I tell you about the time I jumped onto the chandelier?

I just think they're fluffy and that I want to take one home. But have you heard them? Like, seriously, what does the fox say?

You probably have a point. But mom still insists I got him from his side of the family. [It's funny, because no matter how upset she is still is over her mother, the affection is palpable when she talks about Eleanor.] Well, we were just back from this park that had zip-lines, you know? So, I saw this thing on a cartoon and though that the chandelier would totally work as a swing. And that maybe I could set up a zip-line with a rope made of sheets. [She pauses.] Didn't really work out.

Matt... You haven't heard the song? You're kidding!

In my defense, it was an amazing landing. I only broke one of my legs.

For real? I can't believe it. [She clicked her tongue.] Okay, what about: Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding, wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow, hatee-hatee-hatee-ho, joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff,
What the fox say?

Honestly? I don't remember? I just remember that I was having a lot of fun and that dad was both impressed and having a heart attack. He was begging me not to tell mom.

... Those are the lyrics, Matt.

Or just don't get a chandelier. [She shrugged, even if he couldn't see it. Not that he would see it if they were in the same room...] Don't worry, I'll teach your kid to parkour.

Bet you used to dance to even weirder songs, smartass.

Oh, but I am serious. Don't get a chandelier and I'm teaching your kid how to parkour.

Bet you and Foggy sang that Blue da-ba-dee-da-ba-daah song in karaoke all the time. Or Barbie Girl.

It could be worse. I could make jokes about target practice with apples on the heads of your kids.

[Which, wouldn't even be funny because of course she'd nail every shot.]

And you were totally his Ken. You guys were honestly so perfect together.

Guess we can always start with plunger arrows. Just in case they want to give it a shot on their own. [Oh, pun very much intended.] That was the Stick guy, wasn't it? I'm sorry, but it's so hard to take seriously a guy named Stick.

Matt, I just hope you know you were Kenough.

If you ever start making dad puns I'm never going to stop teasing you for it. [Says the person who keeps making puns, specially when it comes to his superhero name.] Me? Well... [She takes a moment.] Mom wanted me to take over the company, so I was mostly thinking of pursuing my a career as an athlete. At least for a few years.

[Would she actually make a good teacher? A coach? Maybe she could do something about that.] You think the kids at the orphanage might want to learn? Not with real arrows, obviously.

[She's distracted, considering what she could teach those kids, when Matt comments on Barbie.] Wait, you've seen it??
