Do you want me to shoot you with an arrow and hit a non-fatal spot that's only bad enough to give you an excuse to go to the hospital and avoid dinner?
... I'm pretty sure you're thinking what I'm thinking. You know, the word that starts with a 'T', ends with a 'P' and usually has a 'RA' in the middle? I have no idea if your phone made any sense saying that outloud, but I still think we are on the same page here.
Wasn't sure if your phone would make it all weird. But I'm getting you a second gold star for the spelling bee contest. You realize that having this dinner is both incredible dagerous and stupid, don't you?
Does it drive you insane when people mix your and you're?
You guys don't have to do this, Matt. Tell her that its really important to you! I mean, you guys had a nasty past. I don't get why she's so set on being buddies with him of all people!
Nah. Unless someone is reading the spelling out to me, all the yours are the same when text is read. I just liked to know I could still spell the best. And it does matter when converting speech to text in professional emails. I have someone proofread with me, so I know it's the right one that the program captured.
She thinks I'm being dramatic. I can't tell her the whole story, so it probably does sound that way.
Can't Peter check it out again to make sure the spelling is totally accurate? Still, its probably way better that you get a human to do it instead of trusting tech with everything...
But you prosecuted the guy! That's enough of a reason to make things weird.
... Do you want me to keep and eye on Heather's place?
[Yeah, it's Matt's place too now. But he keeps calling it Heather's place, so...]
I'll be honest, I've never had him check spelling since it never mattered in conversation. If it went into professional spheres, I think it'd blur into areas we've never crossed.
And the system of giving and receiving. Then sometimes giving. Probably receiving later. You know the deal.
What about spelling dirty things with emojis? I bet it totally misses out on that too.
[Kate goes silent for a moment. Because as much as she likes Heather in some ways and wants to like her even better for Matt's behalf... Right now she has no option but to censor herself.]
Matt, you don't even need to ask. Of course I would! We should have everyone on patrol too. He knows you'll be there and with your hands tied.
Especially since my last real memories of any of those objects was decades ago. It's gotten fuzzy over the years how they actually look.
If I said the right thing, provoke in the right way, maybe he'd trip himself up and say too much in front of her. She could see for herself that he hasn't changed.
... You gotta be careful about how much you provoke him, tho. Because Peter and I are gonna be there, but I doubt the Mayor will go on his own. Specially knowing you'll be there.
Apparently it was slow tags showing up in my inbox/email so NEVERMIND, LOL.
It happened, yeah. Some things were harder to let go of than others in remembering what they looked like. [His father's face being the biggest. Matt had fought tooth and nail to remember, but the mind works how it does, and Jack's face is fuzzy memories now. Other things aren't, though. The scent of the man's cologne, the scruffy feeling of his face. The lessons his dad imparted.] On the plus side though, I get to miss emoji innuendo.
... yeah. You're right. I don't want to put you at risk out there.
Drawings and sculptures do help actually, yeah. It doesn't completely recreate what the visual looked like, but I can get the shapes and angles. ... I don't have any old pictures of my dad, though. Unless... he might have been in some newspapers? Because of his boxing career? [The words slip out immediately as he muses, and then he realizes how obvious it is what he actually cares about remembering. He doesn't give a shit if his memory of a car or a strawberry or a pencil is right. He wants to see his father. His father and...] I do have a picture of Foggy. [One that never leaves the pocket over his heart.]
I'll be with Heather. I can protect her. ... it is still a risk, though. To her, you, and Peter.
[He's just so frustrated and wants to expose Fisk to Heather. That frustration though isn't a good reason to risk their well-being.]
I'll play relatively nice.
It's testing us, I swear. But we still love you, DW
[It's something that's crossed her mind before. Would it make a good birthday present? But then, it could be incredibly weird and intrusive to just show up one day and be like 'hey, hope you like this printed scupture of your dead best friend!
Kate is surprised but also relieved when he brings it up himself.]
That's, like totally doable. I mean, I bet I could find a shitton of photos of Foggy online anyway. And we can probably find some of your dad too, Matt. Would you be okay if I spoke to someone to print the sculptures?
[It feels like the sort of thing you need to double-check first.]
To be fair... Nobody is really safe these days. Just... Promise me that if someone shoots him, you're not taking that bullet again, Lol.
Matt, why would it put me out? Look, I was worrying about offering something and for you to feel weird about it. To be honest... Ive thought about it before. But how do you bring something like this up? You're not taking advantage of anything, you could never take advantage of me.
I don't know. In the grand scheme of things, just feels like there are more pressing things to focus on. I have so much already. I'd rather this be done for others who might want it ahead of me. Or to focus on rehab or... I don't know. Just doesn't feel like I should be the focus.
It's very sweet of you, and you have a big heart. Let the kids or elderly experience it first, if they want sculptures. I can wait.
What did I tell you, Kate? Murdocks don't stay on the mat. I'm in this fight for the long haul.
Matt. Listen to me. This is not a matter of chosing who gets things first. you're my friend and I And I care so much about you. We can do Foggy. And maybe your dad. And I can check with the Blind Association to see if this can help someone too. But this is not a waiting list thing.
Good. Because if you stay down too long I'm gonna kick you up, you got it?

Don't tempt me. I can't leave Heather alone with him more often than she is. Now that they're colleagues rather than doctor and patient.

Heather won't believe me if I say that, though. And also, I won my school's spelling bee. I could figure out what you meant.

The phone did make it weird, good spelling is just worth noting at all times.

I doubt he'll show his true colors in front of Heather tonight. You're right, though. Better safe than sorry. You and Peter should be nearby.
... unless I trick him into revealing his true colors tonight.
no subject
I'm letting Peter know. Can you ask Jess and Luke and the others to keep an eye out?
We could als
Wait, what?
I somehow missed this tag...
If I said the right thing, provoke in the right way, maybe he'd trip himself up and say too much in front of her. She could see for herself that he hasn't changed.
No worries! <3

LMAO yes, I'm getting them all now as well XD
[Except things like colors. Can someone forget what colors are like?]
NO, no, that's not what I mean.
I mean...
I was talking about Heather.
DW, I swear... LOL. I say sighing but with love.
I'll be with Heather. I can protect her. ... it is still a risk, though. To her, you, and Peter.
