“I will do my best.” She reassured him. “Not getting deported, thanks to you. I heard you went away for a while. Are you alright?”

“Mmm-- yeah, ‘went away’ is certainly the watered down version. But I’m alright.” For the first time in a while, Matt was able to say that with some truth to it. “There were a lot of things I needed to work out. Things got complicated, but it’s okay. I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”

“It’s not my system.” Her tone was firm. “But it’s the only one we have right now. There’s no perfect answer people would react positively too. Not in this case.”

“Well you’re an Avenger, aren’t you? I just assumed it was your team that came up with all this-- I think most people do. They’re still looking to the heroes even if they still carry a lot of bitter feelings with them.”

“What went down with yours?” His comment piqued her interest. “If it’s not too sore a subject. It’s strange, yeah. But I’m dealing with it okay.”

“She and I tend to get into trouble pretty easily when we’re together. Bad people do bad things and we get caught in the middle. And usually I’m not fast enough to stop her from.. you know.” Matt trailed off. “I died with her the last time, and yet we’re both still here somehow. Doesn’t make much sense.”

“Only once, and we actually blew up the restaurant that used to be there before. Call me crazy but I couldn’t help but go look at what it turned into.”

“I remember that-- that was you? I’m hoping there’s a reason other than the menu for you to have blown it up.”

“It’s more just the sight of your stupid face that’s supposed to be dead standing there.”

“Right-- that. I won’t tell you that you need to get over it, Jess. But--” He shrugged. “Seems like I won’t be going anywhere. Is this how we’re going to start every conversation?”

“It’s not that new. They just changed the name to get people to forgot how bad their health code rating was.”

“Really? Same management and everything? That’s actually pretty disappointing.”

corcontriitum‌:

“It’s certainly given me more time to think and observe. You find out a lot about people when you’re not talking or making a scene.”

“For sure. People watching is an art, if you ask me.”

“Guess my law humor isn’t up to snuff then. My dad thought I would be a good lawyer because I was stubborn but that pipe dream ended quickly. Anyway, uh, dance. My hobby is dance and that is why I am hungry. The perils of dance.”

“Oh yes-- the horrors of an empty stomach. I’m more of a boxer myself. Much less graceful but still physically draining.”

[hellsdeviil]

ghcstspider‌:

“Where I’m from it’s something else entirely and you’d want to stay clear.” 

“Oh? What exactly is it?”

[hellsdeviil]

vinoctibus‌:

“I only ever spent time around Hells Kitchen when with you, Matthew.” Elektra commented, one hand rising to shift her bag further up her arm. “I’m taking this as an invitation to accompany you there, correct?”

“So perceptive.” Matt replied, reaching out gently to take her hand and loop it under his arm. “Are we calling this a date?”

[hellsdeviil]

vinoctibus‌:

“I don’t care much for convincing. You’re alive. I’m alive.” Elektra slid over to him, body wrapping around his own so that her lips could brush his ear. “And that, darling, is all that matters.”

“For all we know, we could be ghosts.” His tone was teasing but soft, lips curving into a smile. “Maybe everything that’s happened after that building collapsed on us has been a bad dream, or maybe we’re actually here. But you’re right-- it doesn’t matter why or how anymore, does it? It’s tiring to try and make sense of it all.”

[hellsdeviil]

xdusks‌:

“There’s black swirls across my face.”

“Hm. Sounds unique. Do they hold any meaning for you or was it a purely aesthetic reason?”

[hellsdeviil]

ghcstiing‌:

“I met a few who did. They turned to ash rather quickly after that. It’s a shame. And here I thought I could actually have a friend.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.” Matt paused. “I’m sure they would want you to move on, find others to connect to. Is that what you want?”

[hellsdeviil]

ghcstiing‌:

Ava cocked her head to the side, thinking for a moment. “I suppose I am. See, I’ve been told I need a friend in general so I guess than can be a step in the right direction for both of us then.”

“It’s surprising how difficult having friends can be. Making friends, keeping them, not screwing things up. I’d like to think going about life alone is a bit easier, but it’s proven to me that it isn’t.”

[hellsdeviil]

noirparker‌:

“Just dandy.”

“Why do I find that so hard to believe?”
