"NO BRETT, DON'T JUST HAND THE BLIND GUY A BABY."

"I know how to hold a baby, Foggy."

"YOU'RE HOLDING HER UPSIDE DOWN."

Anon, thanks for replying, and you're right about Foggy! But you know how you get angry if somebody's late, and you're worried, too, and you've got two conflicting emotions going on? That's how Foggy felt. :-)

+++++

It was Thor, carrying something with a faint but appetizing smell.

“I’m not a warrior,” Matt protested. “I’m just –“ He stopped to think about what he was and how he could explain it, and finished limply with, “trying to protect my city.”

“I have brought food,” Thor said, positioning a tray over Matt’s lap and removing one of two metal covers to release a full blast of the delicious scent. “Steak. You need meat after a healing.”

Matt hesitated. “Thank you, Thor, for the, ah, healing. I appreciate it. And thanks for the food, but I really have to get to my day job.”

“You must eat, truly,” Thor told him. “The healing takes the strength from your body, you must replace it. I myself can eat half a cow after a healing.”

“Really?” Clint asked. “Which half, front or back?”

Too hungry now to resist, Matt decided that any half of a cow sounded like a good idea. He found the silverware and cut a bite of steak. It was probably the best thing he’d ever tasted, and he didn’t know whether to roll it around on his tongue for a moment, or gulp it down and cut another slice. Gluttony won out.

“The middle half.” Thor sounded almost serious. “Or a pig, right down to the hooves. If you want some pork as well, fellow warrior, I can bring that, too.”

Matt swallowed his second bite, already slicing off more. “My name’s Matt Murdock, and no, this is fine, thank you.”

He could hear Thor’s frown. “You might need more than you think, it was a very powerful healing. I did not mean for you to be affected by the lightning from Mjölnir, but the ulardabr was already spawning and there was no time to get you away. I am sorry. Here, there is beer as well, to help build up your blood.”

The thought of beer made Matt’s stomach threaten to rebel, and he replied, “Uh … no, thanks.”

“Aww, beer. I used to like beer,” Clint said, echoing Matt’s thoughts. “Now I’ll never be able to drink it again without thinking of those outer-space vampire things. What did you call them? You-lardo?”

“Ulardabr,” Thor corrected him.

“Why’d did they have to go for the beer? Why couldn’t it have been, I don’t know, tequila or saki or something?”

“Beer has something in it that they need to multiply.”

“Hops? They could have gone to a brewery, bro, they didn’t have to break into a liquor store.”

“The beer must be brewed and aged and ready to drink,” Thor explained. “More than that, I do not know. I prefer to battle them, not study them.”

“And sucking people’s blood? When they’ve already got beer?”

“Blood sustains them. Not just the blood of people. Animals also have blood, and insects, too.”

“Seriously, bro? Insects? Good luck getting blood out of an ant. Or a mosquito. Hey, that’d be a nice change, wouldn’t it?” He switched to a mock-Russian accent. “In Soviet Asgard, mosquito is bitten by you!”

Thor let the joke pass over him in dignified, or perhaps just ignorant, silence, but Matt grinned and stored it away to tell Foggy later. But the conversation reminded him, and he asked, “Speaking of blood, how is … the Black Widow?”

He’d arrived at her designation by the simple process of elimination; according to Foggy, all the other Avengers were male.

“Natasha?” Clint answered. “She’s fine. Thor used a healing stone on her, too; she’s probably still asleep.”

“She woke up a while ago,” Thor said. “I sent her a steak with Bruce.”

Bruce. Bruce Banner. The Hulk. Matt felt a slight punch in the gut at the name and the baggage that went along with it, but Thor was still speaking. “Matt, I must ask. Your reaction when I used the healing stone on you was not what I expected.”

Matt stopped in the act of feeling around his plate for more meat. “What did you expect?”

“It has always felt like a tingling to me,” Thor said. “And Natasha has said the same. But it seemed to hurt you.”

“Hurt?” Matt repeated. “That’s one way to put it.”

It had felt like Claire was stitching him up with a sewing machine, magnified a million times. Then he realized that was probably exactly what it was. “When I was nine, I got some chemicals in my eyes. That’s what blinded me. But my other senses were heightened. Enhanced. I’m really good at hearing and smelling and tasting, and sometimes I can feel more intensely, too. I probably felt all the healing going on in fast-forward.”

“Whoa,” said Clint, sounding exactly like Foggy, which made Matt smile. Then he went on, “So, bro, back there, you just heard the fight and thought you’d join in?”

“Basically.”

“And that’s how you knew where those you-lardos were. You heard them? Smelled? Tasted?”

“I heard them.”

“So, you’re not really a mutant? No offense, bro.”

“None taken, and no. I’m not a mutant.”

“I have an older relative who is blind,” Thor put in, “I thought I recognized the signs. But I have never seen him fight the way you do.”

“I had some training,” Matt admitted.

“It was very good training,” Thor said. “You are a very good fighter. I was proud to have you at my side, and grateful that you chose to use your enhanced senses to help us eradicate the ulardabr. In return, I offer you my abilities, should you ever need them, and healing stones for whenever you are injured. Even if I am not on Midgard, the stones will always be available, here.”

He held out a hand and Matt gripped it, giving Thor a polite smile. He couldn’t imagine Thor joining in Daredevil’s viglante activities. Superheroes like him didn’t care about the little people, the ones getting hurt on a nightly basis in Hell’s Kitchen because of other humans, not because of alien invasions and beer-guzzling vampires from outer space and things like that. And why waste healing stones on things that would heal by themselves in time? (Not that he didn’t appreciate not having to hobble around for weeks or even months.) Still, it was a nice offer.

“Thank you,” he said. His words were sincere, even if his smile wasn’t. “And thank you again, for the healing, and the steak, and everything, but I really have to get to work now.”

Setting the tray aside, Matt scooted to the edge of the bed and stood up. Even though he was no longer wearing his suit, he could still sense traces of vomit on himself. “You said I could shower?”

“If you do not eat properly, you will not have the strength to work,” Thor said. “You have not even finished one steak, and I brought you two. Come, sit down and when you are finished, I will fly you back to your place of work. That will be quicker than your automobiles.”

“Oh, g-d, please, no,” Matt protested, sidling towards the door he thought must lead to the bathroom. Then, in case Thor was offended, he quickly explained, “I was just telling Clint that I suffer from motion sickness.”

“What is motion sickness?” Thor sounded utterly baffled.

“It means that if you move too fast, like flying, you feel sick and you want to throw up,” Matt explained. “Like I did last night.”

“I thought that was because of the pain and the lightning.”

“That probably had something to do with it, yeah, but I really don’t think flying would be a good idea for me.” He even got nauseous in fast taxis, not that he was eager to admit that. To change the subject, Matt placed his hand on the doorknob. “Is this the bathroom, or just a closet?”

“Bathroom,” Clint informed him. “You’ve got towels and stuff inside, use whatever you want. Here, bro, I’ve got your clean clothes here.”

He picked them up from where he had deposited them when he came into the room and placed them in Matt’s outstretched arms. “Bro, you want a doggy bag for that extra steak while we’re at it?”

“Sure, thanks.” It really had been excellent meat, and he’d probably be hungry again once he got back to Hell’s Kitchen and away from the threat of transportation.

As Matt went into the bathroom, he heard Thor’s disapproving comment. “That steak is meant for a warrior, not a warrior’s dog.”

In the shower, Matt ran his hands down his thigh, feeling for any sign of the arrow wound. There was nothing, not even any scar tissue that he could sense with his fingertips. And as he washed the rest of himself, he realized that some of his newer scars had disappeared as well. So that was what Thor had meant when he’d apologized for the fact that the healing stone wouldn’t restore his sight. He wondered just how recent a wound had to be for a healing stone to work on it, then told himself firmly to stop dreaming.

Instead, he realized he’d have to talk to Foggy later about using any part of his name on the burner phone, let alone the entire thing, no matter how worried he was. But what could Foggy call him instead? He didn’t think his friend would actually call him Daredevil, or even Devil. DD didn’t sound right, either, more like a French girl’s nickname. Remembering how Foggy had come up with the name Hottie McBurnerphone for Claire made Matt shudder as he considered what Foggy might think up for him, especially now that his costume had horns. Maybe he and Foggy could compromise on something normal, like Mike. He could at least suggest it without either one of them cringing.

It is interesting to think about how Matt's interactions with women have so dominated who he is in the comics though.

Because as terrible as Stark, Richards, Pym, etc.'s history is, they're not still, years later, running around in their books making amends for the ways they've wronged the women in their life and thinking about them and their impact on a regular basis.

And with Matt, that's clearly the case. There hasn't been a storyline since Karen Page's death that hasn't touched on how her death impacted Matt and caused him to spiral. Same thing with Milla Donovan, and for a long time with Elektra.

I think that the other characters you mentioned are often too arrogant or self-centered to be able to reflect like that. Certainly in later storylines, there's not a sense that anything going on with any of the female characters is really traumatizing to the past or current men in their lives the same way that Matt's relationships have affected him well after the fact.

So even if his relationships have had their issues, there is at least a sense with Matt that he really felt every relationship that went wrong and carries it with him, which is I think pretty unique. And you're right that some of that comes from his strong sense of forgiveness and desire for social justice.

I think he and Peter Parker have that in common, actually, because Gwen Stacy is the only other equivalent type of relationship I can think of that had such an impact years later.

Plot twist it's Foggy and they're drunk and for some reason they thought taking the subway was a brilliant idea

IT DID ME, TOO!

Aww, I love Matt and Thor's interaction! And "Mike" omg, that's become one of my fave names for Matt disguising himself now. XD

After reading the brilliant one about Foggy re-living Nelson vs. Murdock over and over again I have a desperate craving for the same thing happening to Matt.
Of course he'd first think that all he'd have to do is not go out that evening. But it doesn't work that way.
Foggy always finds out somehow for reasons from cracky (stumbling over Matt's costume) to angsty (Foggy getting attacked and Matt coming to the rescue and either he didn't even have the time to get into costume or Foggy figures it out anyway) to very angsty (somebody figures out Matt's identity and comes after him/Foggy somehow runs into Stick).
Eventually Matt figures out that the only we he can get out of this is by just telling Foggy everything.

OK here. Omg thank you. This is the first time someone tales my prompt.

Matt has repressed a lot of what happened during his time with Stick. He tries really hard to only remember the useful stuff, how to fight, how to control his senses. But after Stick's little visit, the rest is all coming back; the "pain tolerance" lessons (C'mon Matty, you can't handle this, how are you going to handle what's waiting for you out there?), the "after hours lessons" with the occasional guest lecturer.

With all these memories flooding bac, day-to-day life is getting a lot harder for Matt. What happens when he finally reaches his breaking point?

Really anything based off of this movie description:

"When an epidemic of a disease known as the "white sickness" appears in her city, the wife (Julianne Moore) of a doctor is one of the few individuals left who still has sight. Sent to a government asylum along with her now-blind husband (Mark Ruffalo), she sees conditions deteriorate until civilization itself is in jeopardy, prompting her break-out of the asylum to lead a small group to freedom."

Does Matt infiltrate to try to take on the corruption within? Does the whole gang lie there and Matt is still a vigilante?

BRET: "Im not gonna let the baby to a blind guy *glances at Matt* sorry Matt and the one that always buys cigarrets to my momma"
Matt: Non taken
Foggy *looking incredibly offended*

You're very welcome! I'm very excited to write this.

Would you mind if I tweaked the age thing a bit? As someone who has friends and colleagues who are 40 or nearing 40, I can attest that 40 isn't as much of a "cut-off point" for settling down as it once used to be, and I don't think Matt would feel ready to give up the suit at 40 short of some sort of crippling injury... :P

I wouldn't put it past Fisk to just decide to fuck him in the showers instead, if he's going to be so particular about the cleanup.

Believe me, you really really do. And you're probably safe, the only reason I got it was because I managed to catch chicken pox before I was old enough for the vaccine. >:/

So we take liberties lol. The real question is "Would Matt suspend his no hospitals rule to get some proper treatment?" And it does seem to be a lot of peoples headcanon (including mine) that, while Matt can handle XTREME BODILY TORMENT he's a giant baby when he actually gets sick, bless his heart.

OP: All the finding-out scenarios are obvs. just suggestions. Can be something completely different as well.

OP here. I love it.

Oh god Fisk notices that Matt has avoided showering all week and takes him there himself, tells everyone to fuck off, and makes Matt wash. Then he fucks him, because he took all that time to help Matt, he deserves something in return, right?

i am both of the tiny!fills' author and i super don't mind those getting linked there. i've never been sure if mini!fills should go there or not, so thank you!!

dangerous will is my hands down favorite ~~(and probably the only reason i got through S2 after bev was gone and alana was wildly out of character)~~

Matt has a twin sister. They are both (somehow) blind and both Daredevil. Everyone in Hell's Kitchen is so busy arguing about whether it's a man or a woman in the mask that they never stop to consider the possibility that there are two of them.

Oh no, someone needs to make this happen.

I've actually seen the movie and own the DVD. It's very rough and honest and, well, quietly violent (talk about graphic non-con...). And it has a very, very different tone to the Daredevil TV show. Which isn't to say that a crossover isn't a good idea. In fact, that'd be truly interesting.

I'm crap with remembering details about movies, but from what I can recall, it's mainly set inside the asylum and doesn't actually show much of the outside world. Whoever would be able to write this will have a lot of creative freedom to invent the "Blindness" outside world to fit with the "Daredevil" world. :-)

Oh my god, YES. Yes yes yes.

And like, there wouldn't even necessarily need to be any fucking, per se. What if Fisk washes Matt??? Like, Matt is obvs too stupid to take care of himself so if he's not going to do it Fisk is going to do it for him, and then Matt is humiliated and and never avoids the showers again.

(But like, of course Fisk gropes him while washing him and jerks Matt off too).

I had way too much fun with this.

Hope you enjoy!

OP would be super happy with either of those options.

This is hurting my heart a lot I love it
