I've seen a few fills where someone sees Matt's injuries, assumes he's being abused, and he either denies it lots or comes out as Daredevil and then denies it lots. What I want to see is Matt letting someone think he's being abused in order to protect his secret identity. He knows how to use body language and Heaven knows he can play the 'helpless' card for all it's worth, and he knows exactly how rare it is for abuse cases to end favourably for the prosecutor, and how much evidence someone needs to have before the magter's taken out of his hands.

("No, I don't... need help. It's, uh, a mark from walking into something. That too. Please stop looking at me like that. Really, it's. It's fine.")

I don't mind about pairings or if Matt has to tell his partner(s) about this deception, or if he tries to keep them in the dark. What I really want is the powerless rage of the person who wants to help Matt, and Matt feeling awful but knowing this is his best chance of staying secret.
