what if, roughly, I don't know why, but let's say that a couple of years down the line, Matt runs into something Bad Enough he can't handle it by himself. He doesn't have the a) money, or b) manpower, or c) whatever else that it would take to solve Problem X.
(new player on the scene? new, even more alien drug causing havoc in the city at levels just below what would draw official Attention? who knows)
"don't do it," Foggy says, and "how in the name of fuck is this a good idea," Karen says, but Matt is running out of options.
So he goes to see Fisk (does Murdock go? Does Daredevil? I have no idea, but in this vague beginnings-of-a-story I've got here I think that not everyone knows who Daredevil is, but Matt isn't quite so worried about his identity. He figures, hey, at this point, things are so bad that I'm willing to owe these murderers a favor. (not killing. killing is off the table. but. Matt's hands aren't clean, y'know? and straits are - for whatever reason - DIRE.)
And surprise surprise, Fisk admits that he's recognized the problem - whatever it is - and he's willing to help. "My fiance needs a bodyguard," he says, for a couple of days - and Matt's the most talented and dangerous person Fisk knows, honestly, so there you go.
