Fill: Frank is a Terrible Name For a Dog Part 1
(Anonymous) 2015-06-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)**
It’s Karen who gives him the dog. Well, rather, she had a dog, named Frank, which had belonged to a friend of Ben’s, that she was looking for home for. She brought him into the office to meet Matt.
“He’s a Corgidor.”
"A Corgidor?"
"Yeah. That's a lab corgi mix. Isn't he cute?"
"Not sure I’m qualified to answer that question."
“Pet him. He’s cute. You’ll be able to tell.”
Matt complied holding a hand out to sniff then running it over the dog. Frank was short, and round, and made a happy woofing noise as soon as Matt touched him and snuggled up like he thought Matt was the best person in the world. Matt kept petting him and was almost distracted enough to not hear the breath Karen took when she was working herself up to say something.
That something turned out to be, “Maybe you could take him?”
“Um…” Matt was not expecting that suggestion. And there are so many reasons why he can’t have a dog even one that seems about to pass out from the pleasure of Matt’s belly rubs.
“Not forever take him!” Karen amends quickly, “Just for a few days. I can’t take animals into my apartment.”
“I’m not sure I can have one either.”
“Well…” Karen hesitates, with the slight sound of her chewing her lip, “If that came up I thought you could say…service animal?”
“That would be dishonest Miss Page,” he tries to sound charming and not upset because she’s planned this, thought about it, is setting a trap for him in the form of a short legged dog. And Matt can’t have a dog he just can’t.
She’s still hesitant and sincere when she says, “And I thought you wouldn’t mind having some company.” It’s not pity in her voice just worry and Matt sighs.
“Ok. I’ll take him tonight.” He senses her smile and tries to nip it in the bud, “But I can’t keep him.”
He was not going to own a dog.
“Don’t get comfortable,” he tells the dog after he’s brought it and his stuff up to his apartment.
He doesn’t want to get attached so he shoos it off the couch ignores his scampering. It’s hard to ignore the scampering though especially when is involves rolling around on Matt’s feet and Matt’s ended up petting the dog several times despite his resolution of NO DOG.
“I’m going to bed.” He tells Frank, then wishes he hadn’t. He shouldn’t talk to the dog. He should treat the dog like a responsibility that he is taking the brunt of then return it to Karen as soon as possible.
He shuts the bedroom door and the dog whimpers and scratches at it.
“Go to sleep.” He grits out before burying his head in his pillows.
Matt’s lived alone since he moved out of the orphanage and he finds the presence of another living thing distracting. Frank wanders around for a while, nails clicking on the hard wood, heart speeding up when he finds an interesting smell. Periodically he returns to the door and begs to be let in, loudly to Matt’s ears, but in reality sad pathetic noises. Finally an hour in of Matt trying to and failing to sleep Frank curls up on the cushions Matt left for him.
And he starts snoring.
It’s the loudest thing Matt’s ever heard. He grumbles for 20 minutes before opening the door and marching over to the sleeping animal.
He stops, sheepishly, when he gets there. What is he going to do? Poke the dog awake and tell him to keep it down? He’s a dog. Instead Matt gently reaches out and strokes his hand along Franks’ back relishing the soft fur brush against his skin. Then he does it again. The dog lets out a happy snort then continues snoring.
“You are the loudest thing. You sound like a fog horn.” Matt’s voice is surprisingly soft to his own ears. “You little foggy fog horn.”
The next morning when Matt opens his bedroom door, the dog is waiting for him says, “Hey Foggy. Do you want breakfast?”
Matt doesn’t know if it’s the name or the word breakfast but the dog responds more enthusiastically then he ever did to the name Frank. He leaps around Matt as he walks to the kitchen tail wagging so hard he falls over.
Matt knows he’s done for. There’ a rule about animals and it’s never name them if you don’t want to keep them.
So then Matt owned a dog.
Karen is delighted.
Except there is the small matter of Matt’s night work which comes up a week later when he’s taking Foggy out for his nightly walk.
“Mr. Murdock,” Mrs. Archibald in 5C greets him. Her voice is unfriendly.
“Ma’am”
“Your dog was barking all last night!”
“I’m sorry about that.”
She continues as if he hadn’t said anything, “And he was barking all the nights this week. I cannot hear my television he is so loud.”
Matt can always hear her television, and he’s sure people without heightened hearing can too but he doesn’t say anything just gives her an apologetic nod and tight smile.
“I’ve talked to the Super and complained and he says there is nothing he can do since it’s a service animal.” She scoffs, “If he was a Seeing Eye dog wouldn’t he be out with you? It’s ridiculous.”
“It won’t happen again.”
“You are an irresponsible young man,” She yells after him.
The issues is she’s right. He has been leaving Foggy alone at night and it makes the dog miserable. But what Karen didn’t know, when she foisted a tiny rescue dog on her lonely boss whose only friend was said pseudo-paralegal, was that Matt had another life that he lived at night.
It’s a life that doesn’t really lend itself to pets. This is demonstrated to him only a few minutes later. They aren’t too far into their walk when he hears it: a rapid heartbeat and a voice saying “please, please don’t kill me” a block away. Matt stops walking head cocked hand twitching for his pocket were he keeps an eyeless black mask.
He really shouldn’t. He’s walking a dog. He should call the police or at least drop Foggy back at home where he can get on Mrs. Archibald’s nerves. He almost does it too.
But then he hears, “You’ve left me no choice.” And there’s a life on the line.
There’s always a life on the line. He dashes into an alley, Foggy scrambling after him.
“Sorry boy. Stay. Stay.” Matt leaps out of the alley dropping his cane and dog leash. Foggy is frantic yowling after him leaping up and scrabbling at the wall but Matt doesn’t stop. He can’t stop. The reality is he can’t have a dog. Foggy is a good dog; he deserves a good home with nice people not terrible people like Matt who leave him alone in an alley while he fights crime.
He pushes his guilt down focuses on his anger and the fear of the victim his racing towards.
He drops down into another alley containing the terrified heart beat and gets a confusing blast of forms, scents and sounds.
“This doesn’t concern you,” a voice growls and Matt almost agrees. Their shapes are not quite human, their arms bend too much and none of the three, even the one cowering, seem to be standing on the ground.
The cowering one flings an arm out and Matt is bombarded with heat and the scent of ozone. The other creatures are retaliating and the air is filled with formless heat filled things. He’s hit by one and it’s like someone threw a brick at him. He falls backward dazed.
A voice screams, “He’s escaped! This is your fault!”
He’s confused and the tries to struggle away from the many fingered hands holding him. He can smell the ozone again and the air crackles. He’s about to be hit in the face by whatever that blast was.
Over the electric sound Matt hears a triumphant barking and tiny legs racing down the alley then growling and Foggy’s biting the arms holding Matt. Matt scrambles to push the dog away.
“No Foggy, NO!”
There’s a struggle, the arms try to hold him and bat Foggy away, Foggy tried to bite Matt’s attackers and Matt tries to grab the little dog and shield him. It’s too late. Matt smells the ozone again and Foggy yelps as he’s flung off of Matt. The yelp is high pitched sound that trails up into an un-dog like wail and then Matt can’t sense the dog anymore.
Foggy’s gone.
“MY DOG!” Matt is livid, a rage bursting from his chest like an eruption. He lashes out with his fist catching one of the figures again and again where their face should be, “What did you do to my dog?”
”Fall back. Leave this realm!” a voice howls and like that the body he’s punching dissolves in his hands like it was never there. And Matt’s alone in the alley.
Except he’s not alone, there’s still someone in the alley and they launch themselves at Matt.
His senses are on the fritz and he’s unable to stop he heavy weight from knocking him over. He struggles and pulls back his arm back to punch but stops when he realises the man isn’t trying to hurt Matt; instead he’s licking Matt’s face and wrapping Matt in a tight, albeit wiggly, hug. Matt tries to focus until he gets a picture of what’s going on. There’s a human man sitting on his chest. The man is short, chubby and extremely naked.
“What?”
“Buddy! Buddy!” the man yells ecstatically pushing his face into Matt’s neck, “I found you. You’re ok!”
“What are you doing?” Matt tries to push the man off but he clings.
“Oooh I was so worried when I couldn’t find you! Are you ok?” And then the man was snuffling at Matt’s neck. Matt can smell Purina on the man’s breath and dog shampoo in his floppy hair.
He has a crazy crazy thought. He holds his breath for a second then asks tentatively “Foggy?”
It’s the same bouncing response Foggy always gives at his name; the man’s tailless backside is shaking with glee, “Yes! Yes! I’m here. What do you need Buddy? Oh! Can we go to the park?”
Foggy presses his face against Matt’s then there’s more licking.
“Um,” Matt really has no idea how to process this. “Maybe later.”

NOTE: The FAE definitely pop into the human realm and turn dogs human all the time. Don`t question this!
