[Matt sometimes feels like he has the sole right to Fisk. After all,it’s he who is always the target of seemingly every move the other makes.

But it’s people like Frank Castle who remind him that it’s not just his life who has been invaded and ransacked by the Kingpin.

So let it be open season on the Kingpin.]

That your personal mission now? I can drink to that.

fitsthecrime

No. My personal mission hasn't changed.

[ And it won't. It doesn't really matter to him that this particular mission will never see an end; that this is a war he'll wage until his heart thumps the last time against his ribcage and he can't get back up again.

There will never be an end to people who deserve to die. He doesn't pretend that he's making the world a safer place, not really; he's making it safer today, making it safer because this man is no longer on it, but someone else will step up.

Frank intends to take as many of them into hell with him as he can, though. ]

#mxttmurdock #matt baby no we saw what happens when you do whack fisk #nothing good comes of it

mxttmurdock

I know we have our differences…but thanks.

fitsthecrime

Save it for when I take the Kingpin down.

[ And he will. Eventually. Fisk isn't someone you can just put a bullet in and walk away from, though; he's bigger than that. His reach spans too far for his death alone to destroy his influence, and that grates at Frank, digs in deep under his skin and makes itself a home.

Someone like Fisk you have to choke out, first. You have to cut away his empire, undermine him in the eyes of the criminal underbelly of the world. You have to discredit him and destroy him, piece by piece, or by killing him you'll just make him into a legend.

And legends never die. ]

#mxttmurdock #omg frank doesn't know about the touching his beard bit but food's good.#he'll take food.

mxttmurdock

Tell me about it.

[Suddenly, Matt feels like he and Frank just arrived on the same page.]

You noticed the recent crime wave too, huh?

fitsthecrime

I'm not back in the Kitchen for the pretty scenery.

#mxttmurdock #he would probably assume you were going in for a throw tbqh #and when nothing happened yeah he'd just #'......'

mxttmurdock

[He hears the rustle of the newspaper, Frank’s signal of grudging acceptance of Matt’s presence.]

Don’t really need it tonight. Ben Urich wrote a nice piece about all the good work Nelson & Murdock have been doing for the Kitchen. And didn’t mention the D-word once.

fitsthecrime

Kitchen's gonna need some of that good.

[ His voice remains unconcerned, conversational even, as he turns to the police blotter. There's no way Daredevil hasn't found out by now that the Kingpin's back.

It's a big part of why Frank's back. ]

#mxttmurdock #sighs @ kingpin.#the kind of guy you can't just kill.#also matt the black hole of despair isn't so bad.#you get used to it eventually.#you can get used to anything.

mxttmurdock

But I’m more fun than everyone else.

fitsthecrime

[ Matt's apparently not leaving, so Frank sits down at his table and drags his copy of the newspaper across it. ]

I'm not here to patch up your self esteem.

#mxttmurdock #at least matt tries not to be killjoy #frank is just w/e

#breaks into a vet's office to stitch himself up.#leaves a fat stack of bills and writes 'hope this covers it' next to it on the counter.#frank you are not a good man but i love your character so much.

But then who would you make fun of Spidey with?

-- everyone else?

Like for a starter!

#with creative cropping you can pretend that's dd kicking him in the face!#ooc

mxttmurdock

But what about the baby?

fitsthecrime

I might just shoot you.

[ The punchline's a lot less funny when your kids are dead. ]

#mxttmurdock #i mEANT FRANK #don't make him shoot you matty he likes you well enough.

mxttmurdock

[He sighs heavily.]

I’m pregnant, Frank.

And it’s yours.

fitsthecrime

I could just shoot you.

#mxttmurdock #is.... he joking.........#or is he not.....

mxttmurdock

[Who knew: he had manners after all.]

Not at the moment, no. I’m tailing a guy actually. He’s busy getting wasted at the moment. Thought I might make the job a little easier on my myself.

fitsthecrime

Am I supposed to buy that, choirboy?

[ He has manners when he feels like having manners.

Actually, Frank doesn't really go out of his way to be an asshole; it just seems like, it considering most of his interactions tend to end with him putting a bullet in someone.

One-on-one, and without anyone to shoot, he doesn't see the point in being anything but civil. Usually. ]

Why are you really here?

#mxttmurdock #suspicious of you forever.#if you didn't want something from me you wouldn't be here.#frank chill out.#(he says it's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.)
