(matt murdock / elektra natchios)
A/N: Written for @mattelektrabingo that I signed up for almost a year ago. Pardon the tardiness. Life blocked my writing muse.
Prompts: betrothed, canon divergence, (free space), circus, just one night.
The floorboards creak two floors down and Matt Murdock sits up in bed at the sound of it. The converted warehouse in Hell’s Kitchen houses Matt and eight other kids, ages ranging from twelve year olds like him to full-fledged hormonal teens, including the one whose footsteps are creeping down to the ground floor. He’d know the sounds of her footsteps anywhere; the sound of her breathing, her heartbeat.

Matt regretted fighting Brett, sometimes. Sure, if he’d been unmasked back then it would have been disastrous, but Brett was a good guy, a good cop. There weren’t that many in the Kitchen. It was better than it used to be, but he was one of the good ones and there were never enough of those. Still, he’d tried to apologize, sort of, when he’d asked Brett to claim Frank’s arrest. It had been the least he could do.
And Foggy’s Fake Feud with Brett never failed to make Matt smile, too. They bickered, they complained, they mocked, but they were very Romeo and Juliet, deep down: one cop, one lawyer; destined to be forever at odds, and yet… Well. At least there was no serenading. Foggy was a terrible, terrible singer.
Brett though, Brett was decent. Take him far enough away from Bess’s eagle eyes, pour a couple of beers down his throat, and then – then he could sing. And with a bit of luck, he’d also let slip some interesting precinct tidbits that may or may not be of interest to lawyers trying to make a living helping the innocent.
That night, however, Brett had an almost Halloweenesque tale to tell.
“I swear,” he said to his beer. Matt could hear it echo on the glass, just a little. “I saw it myself; the autopsy saw was right there, a little Zombie John Doe blood on it but not a drop that belonged to him anywhere else in the morgue.” Brett shuddered and drank some more beer. “The rest was all Cole’s.”

29. Numb
They’re meeting at the City Island dock where the ferry departs. Matthew wanted to see a friend in Harlem first, so Elektra drives directly there and waits for him, her eyes on the clear blue sky. She’s managed to secure a private trip to Hart Island by means of a generous donation and a little name-dropping, and now they can finally visit Stick’s grave.
No one showed up for his body when he died. When she killed him. Elektra doesn't really regret what she did but she thinks maybe she can now acknowledge she is, and always will be, ambivalent about his role in her life. Ultimately, he used people – children – as much as he was used by the Chaste.
Matthew found about his grave about two months ago. He was working a case for one of his clients whose closest relative was buried on Hart Island when it hit him: where else could they have put Stick? No one would have claimed him; his only family was an annihilated mystic order. Did he even have a name? For them he always was Stick or sensei.
