Of course I'm gonna have to see you with a scarf on your head first. But it sure sounds creative to me. You can even raise the bar matching your socks or tie to the scarf.

That's not a regular spa treatment for a duck. You want me to give him the VIP package. [She considers it.] I think a deal of that kind gives me a free pass on at least a couple more jokes.

From:

It was Jessica's scarf, it might be weird if I matched my socks to it.

Bold of you to insinuate Marshall isn't worthy of having this considered a regular treatment for him. I've named the penance. He gets a totally deserving treatment for a duck of his esteemed character, you get Korean fried chicken.

From:

hawk_shot

You don't own any scarves of your own? Because you're making it real easy for me to plan ahead of your birthday then, Matt.

Fine. You've got a deal then, Counselor. But you'll have to come with me to Clint's farm to make sure I actually fulfill my promise.

From:

streetlevel

I have scarves, I just didn't that day. Thankfully she did or else I'd have had to rip my jacket.

What other animals are on his farm? Aside from the tiny humans.

From:

hawk_shot

You clearly need to start carrying an emergency mask on yourself. [However, this brings up a question she's wondered about before. Both when it comes to Daredevil, Spider-Man and pretty much every other hero.] You ever feel cold in the suit during winter?

[Matt's question steals a genuine laugh out of her.] Laura better never hear you call her kids that! [Clint might find it amusing, though. Maybe he wouldn't even notice it. ... Specially if his hearing aid is off.] But anyway, I'd say the regulars. Horses and sheep and chickens, that kinda thing. Personally, I'm in love with the donkeys.

From:

streetlevel

Oh yeah. It gets cold as hell in the winter and hot as hell in the summer. There is no greater feeling on earth than a hot or cold shower afterwards, depending on which season it is.

In lieu of cows, I'll take time with horses and sheep. What do you like about the donkeys?

From:

hawk_shot

Guess it wouldn't be as impressive if Daredevil wore a red scarf around. [She considers something.] But you could totally wear a cape.

I don't know. They just look kinda sad? Like everyone goes for the other animals in the farm and these are the underdogs, you know? [After a couple of days Clint could always predict when Kate wanted to go see the donkeys.] And they're just really sweet and cuddly.

From:

streetlevel

Didn't you see The Incredibles? No capes.

Now you're making me feel sad for them. I didn't even know they were that sweet and cuddly.

From:

hawk_shot

Oh, I'm sorry, now you follow Edna Mode's rules?

See? They don't get enough love. You see them carrying stuff that is too heavy for them and with those big and sad eyes, but not people going 'oh, I wanna cuddle the donkeys'. They totally deserve it.

From:

streetlevel

Edna was smart about the capes.

All right, you convinced me. I want to meet the donkeys, too.

From:

hawk_shot

Please, please, please, we need to meet Doctor Strange just for you to have this conversation with him.

There was no way I'd take you to Clint's farm and not introduce you to my gang. [Will the donkeys even remember her?] They even come and make the most excited noises when you call them. It's adorable.

From:

streetlevel

I would. Edna's advice is for everyone. I suspect it's less him wearing the cape and more the magic cape wearing him.

Huh. Not unlike you do when I approach you with food. [His tone is teasing.]

From:

hawk_shot

I doubt the cape is going to take it well. What if a magical patchwork duvet chases Daredevil across the city?

[She blows a raspberry in clear - fake - anoyance.] Same noises you make when someone throws a rosary near a criminal.

From:

streetlevel

How do you know I won't convince the cape that it doesn't need Strange and can stand on it's own tapestry? That Fantasia would have gone down differently if Mickey hadn't been able to command the brooms to start, but the brooms had the autonomy and rights to decide when to dust themselves?

You know when people do random shit like that I ask Frank if it's him just to annoy him. 'Hey, there's this criminal that uses stilts, or this guy who really loves animal balloons. Are you back in town?'

From:

hawk_shot

Not gonna lie, Daredevil having a haunted red cape as a sidekick would be pretty incredible. Do you think you could convince it to join your cause? [They should probably work on making more superhero allies instead of stealing their friends, but...] ... I'm sorry, what about Mickey and brooms?

And he doesn't block you?! Aaaaw, Matt. What you guys have is clearly special.

Did you never see Fantasia? I saw it before I lost my eyesight and it still haunts me.

Well, I can't kill him, he'd just get smug about it.

From:

hawk_shot

If I did I don't remember it. But you always bring up cartoon movies. [Only then it hits her. It's probably because he was a kid and most of the movies he ever watched were meant for children.] Why was it so haunting?

I know a bromance when I hear about it. Also, you need to introduce me someday. Because I'd kill to see you two hanging.

From:

streetlevel

... yeah. I guess those are the ones that stuck with me the most. Probably weird to talk about. Anyway, it just had some creepy visuals in it. Nothing big.

I'm not sure anyone actually 'hangs out' with Frank Castle.

From:

hawk_shot

Well, that pretty much sets up a plan for us then. The dogs in heaven movie and Fantasia and anything else that traumatized you during your childhood. [She's not sure if that helps. But it's better than watching something with him in which he misses on half the experience. At least going back through his memories, to the first time when he watched this, it all might be more fulfilling for him?

Besides, she does wanna share something that is clearly special to him.] And creepy visuals work for me.

I could totally hang with Frank Castle. All I need to do is bring Lucky along.

From:

Nah, they're just kids movies. You're right. I didn't even realize I kept referencing them. It wasn't intentional.

Frank and Lucky would be hanging out. You'd just be there as Lucky's plus one.

From:

hawk_shot

Matt, you say that as if it was wrong. I think it's cool, I wanna watch the stuff you used to watch.

Is he a dog person? [Not that it matters, everyone is a Lucky person.] I don't care. He is my ticket for me to watch you guys.

From:

streetlevel

It's a little embarrassing. I swear I've seen many movies since I was nine.

I know Frank's stopped a dog fighting ring, and he adopted a gang's guard dog for awhile. So yeah. I'd say he's a dog person. Only with the dogs being better behaved than he is.

From:

hawk_shot

How is that embarrassing? Do I make you feel embarrassed? [Well, she does sometimes. But she's not trying to do that over this.]

.... The Punisher stopped a dog fighting ring and adopted a puppy? [Yep. That is probably a sound Matt easily recognises by now. The sound of a girl's heart melting right then and there.]

From:

streetlevel

No! No, it's not you. I just... didn't realize I was fixating on childhood things, I guess. Felt a little silly for it. You didn't say anything wrong, though. You've been nice about it.

He did. Max stayed with me a few times when he was traveling. Not that Frank asked, or I'd say I'm not babysitting a dog while he goes on a killing spree. I'd just have a dog turn up in my apartment until he picked him up again with a note saying to stop spoiling the mutt with homecooked meals. [Matt sounds a little disgruntled. Not over the dog, but over Frank being... Frank.] Then he found Max a family with kids.

... this does NOT make Frank cuddly, Kate. I can hear your voice. He's not.

[OOC: Am I changing canon so that Matt knew Max and dogsat for him? Yes. Am I sorry? No.]

Edited Date: 2025-05-04 10:20 pm (UTC)

From:

hawk_shot

Matt, there's nothing to be nice about. Or to feel silly about. I like knowing these things about you. [A beat.] What was your favorite movie as a child?

[Oh, she so betrayed herself by making the most humiliating of noises as Matt described his relationship with Frank, his dog and how Punisher had later found a loving home to said dog.

It's no wonder Matt calls her out.][Oh, fuck. No wonder Karen has such a soft spot for him.] But he's clearly just a grouchy teddy bear that needs a nap!

[OOC: I fully, wholeheartedly approve of this canon and the MCU should hire you already. KEVIN FEIGE YOU'RE SLEEPING ON THIS.]
