Of course I'd come. As your lawyer, but also your friend.

From:

hawk_shot

You're too good to me sometimes, did you know that?

And people later accuse me of being spoiled.

From:

streetlevel

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.

From:

hawk_shot

It's a good thing you were spoiled with stubborn friends then, Matt.

Just remember that even if you need time for yourself, we'll always be here for you.

From:

streetlevel

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.

It goes both ways, too.

From:

hawk_shot

You don't get to judge what you deserve, Matt. You're horrible at that.

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?

From:

streetlevel

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.

From:

hawk_shot

You prefer arguing about everything.

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?

I can't help that I'm usually right.

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?

From:

hawk_shot

Except right now and with thay statement.

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.

From:

streetlevel

Up to and including this conversation, yes.

Ah, gotcha. In that case, then yeah maybe.

I have a great memory.

From:

hawk_shot

I think all those punches you've taken are catching up with your brain, Matt.

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.

From:

streetlevel

My brain's too fast for punches to stick to it.

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.

From:

hawk_shot

And for smarts to catch up too.

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?

From:

streetlevel

[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.

From:

hawk_shot

[ooc: LOL between the pros and cons of not being able to sleep Daredevil won. XD I had the premiere last night and spent all night translating and putting subtitles to the conference. So tired. XD]

Did you ask your ego about that?

Probably better than Devil from Hell's Kitchen too. Even if it kinda has its charm.

Exactly my point, I wanna ruin the fancy gala by twerking. Not because I can't tango!

From:

streetlevel

My incredibly smart brain was also an accomplice.

The Devil feels fitting sometimes. Whether I want it to or not.

I don't know what that really is but it sounds like an offense to the art of dance, and therefore, I can't be part of it. Fisk needs to be brought down, not dance itself.

From:

hawk_shot

I would be suspiscious, I think it's conning you.

We never talked about... I mean, I'm not sure if it's okay to ask you about what happened with Bullseye. Not tonight, the smashing his head is cool. I mean before the trial.

Your lack of trust really hurts me, Matt. And here I thought you wanted a dance-off with Fisk.

From:

streetlevel

If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?

... I heard it, Kate. I knew Foggy's heartbeat better than anyone's. Even when shot, I could pick it out. I heard it stop. I just... I didn't know Bullseye would live, doing what I did. In that moment, I didn't care. Some hero.

He's unfortunately not a bad dancer, either. I'm better, though.

From:

hawk_shot

When a dear friend grabs your hand and says 'it's time to stop posting'.

Some human, you mean? I don't think anyone can blame you for that. In fact, with the shit you faced I'm surprised you didn't do that before. But... I mean the aftermath.

I'm kinda worried over the fact that you know he is not a bad dancer.

From:

streetlevel

I don't have a single social media account. Because I'm smart.

I'm not sure I know what you mean. After I tossed him off the roof? I went to see Foggy's family.

I hear many things, Kate. Most of which I don't want to know.

From:

hawk_shot

For real? Not one? You're totally a Snapchat guy then.

I mean how you're dealing with that. Aside from getting a girlfriend who is a therapist. [She pauses.] Great move, by the way.

But have you heard how you have to shake that ass?

From:

streetlevel

I have never snapped a chat. Unless I was mad during a chat and snapped.

Ha. Yeah. Apparently it's a violation for her to date a patient, so. Dodged that therapy bullet. ... as for the rest, I don't know. I never wanted to think I'd cross that line. I don't think violence like that has to be a part of being human.

Waltz that ass. Tango it. Perhaps a foxtrot here and there.

From:

hawk_shot

That's so not what Snapchat does. Well, not normally.

Until she surprises you by hooking you up with a colleague. But yeah, that's what I thought. Of how you see things, I mean. Are you okay? I can't believe I'm only now asking this.

I'm not even sure which one is foxtrot.

From:

streetlevel

I figured not, but I can't resist a good wordplay.

If it helps, I doubt I'm any better talking about it now than I would have been back then. 'cause honestly? I don't know. As okay as I can be. As okay as I have to be.

You have much to learn.
