[Kate is quiet for a second, actually considering the question. Once she speaks, her tone changes completely. It's not sharp as before, but sounding a little tired herself.]
No, sorry. It's -- The thing why I can't face mom right now it's because... Because part of me is worried and misses her, who mom used to be. The other part of me wants to punish her.
Maybe it's a good thing when people are spoiled on the amount of friends they have. Even if I have a bad habit of running away from mine when times are tough.
No, I know. And I know I'm lucky for that. More than I deserve. I know I might have pushed some people away for good, but I'm glad that wasn't everyone.
Well, I never wanted to be a judge, anyway. I prefer arguing the cases.
I was sort of on a team once. For like a week. Danny keeps saying it counts. The media dubbed us the Defenders. Jessica still hasn't stopped rolling her eyes over it. I don't even need vision to know.
We get gussied up and go to a gala. We stop each other from doing anything too stupid. You owe me a dance.
It happened after the Avengers, but on a much smaller scale. We've all teamed up since then in various capacities. Danny is the only one still using a team name.
[OOC: Things have been super stressful at work so I could not sleep last night, so I ended up getting up even earlier than my usual 4:30 a.m. to watch it, LOL.]
Well now I know you're lying. I don't need a heartbeat for that. 'cause I'm brilliant.
It felt weird at first. Then I realized that it wasn't really about me. People like symbols. I've tried to make Daredevil a good one.
They're fancy dances, it's gonna be a fancy gala. I do actually know how to tango. Although my partner has to lead in public.

I'm sorry, Matt. I'm really am. I just -- Guess we are all on edge right now.
But I really, really wanted to know how mom is doing in there. If she's safe. Even if Cherry already said so.

no subject
What did you tell her about the company?
no subject
The truth, as far as I know it. What you've told me about how it's doing.
no subject
Okay... So my plans to let someone else manage it. Mom must feel relieved.

If I visit her for her birthday, would you come with me? As my lawyer, of course.

And people later accuse me of being spoiled.

Just remember that even if you need time for yourself, we'll always be here for you.
no subject
It goes both ways, too.
no subject
But I know. We clearly need a team name by now.
Anyway, what's the next step? You keep coming back and smashing Bullseye's head until he talks?

The Defenders? Sounds like a pre-Avengers thing, I like it. But how do I get to join? Are you gonna team up again?
... You're not gonna forget about that dance, are you?
no subject
It happened after the Avengers, but on a much smaller scale. We've all teamed up since then in various capacities. Danny is the only one still using a team name.
Nope. Why would I?
no subject
Oh, no! I mean as you 'defending". The Avengers avenge but you defend first. The little guy, like Pete.
... Nothing. Just thought your memory wasn't that good, that's all.
no subject
Ah, gotcha. In that case, then yeah maybe.
I have a great memory.
no subject
Pete, you and me need a name too.
I can't believe we are the only team without a name. It sucks.
Fine, but if we are dancing then we are twerking.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The media is the one who came up with my name and the name of the Defenders. Give them a week.
I'm starting to think you don't know how to waltz and tango.
I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET AND I'M DYING
Did you like it? When people started calling you Daredevil?
I'm starting to think you're obsessed with waltz and tango.
You actually know how to tango?
I WON'T SPOIL BUT LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU DO
Well now I know you're lying. I don't need a heartbeat for that. 'cause I'm brilliant.

YOU WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO KNOW, TRUST ME
