I may have kinda got this idea stuck in my head that Matt is secretly a dragon (wings, scales, firebreathing, the whole lot.), a teenage Dragon, because dragons age slower than humans and the whole daredevil thing is actually adolescent, territorial dragon posturing and is totally normal. Matt explains this to Foggy, with demonstrations to prove that yes Dragons are real and Matt is one. Would prefer it if no-one else except maybe Stick, and Jack Murdock were dragons.

I want that conversation between Matt and Foggy, with Matt being all "This is totally normal and logical Foggy stop freaking out.", and Foggy's all "No Matt, this is in no way normal, or logical in the slightest, and oh god you're still a teenager, that explains so much."

"You're still a teenager, that explains so much" xDDD

I shouldn't fill this. I really don't have time. I have real life and about six other fics I should be working on. I'm going to fill this anyway. Because I have a problem, and probably need some kind of rehab or something.

Yesssss

“So you’re a dragon?” Foggy’s voice dripped with disbelief. He just about brought the vigilante thing, it wasn’t like he had much choice considering the way he’d found Matt, but this, this was ridiculous. He refused to buy into Matt’s twisted practical jokes, not after that time with the freemasons and the strip club.
“Yep.” Matt grinned, undeterred by Foggy’s scepticism.
“You meant with the… claws and scales, and fire breathing and stuff?” Foggy made a vague hand waving gesture.
“Yep”
“Prove it.” Matt looked a bit hesitant.
“Are you sure…?”
“Yes, very. You say you’re a dragon. Prove it. Do something dragony.” Hah, Matt needed to up his game if he wanted to April Fool Foggy.
“Well… ok, but we’ll have to head up to the roof.”
“Cool, great, why the roof?” OK Foggy was getting a bit worried now, it was starting to sound like Matt actually believed this. Matt just tilted his head back in exasperation.
“Foggy, I may not be a particularly big dragon, but even I won’t fit in this apartment in my other form.”
Fifteen minutes later.
“Holy shit you’re a Dragon.” And he was. He was bronze and scaly, and roughly the size of a double decker bus. There was absolutely no misconstruing the situation.
“Told you so.” Matt rumbled in satisfaction. It took a few minutes for Foggy to recover. Ok so there were dragons. Note to self, put aside ten minutes tomorrow afternoon to freak the hell out. Ok now questions.
“So do you like, hoard treasure and terrorise villages and stuff?” He blurted out the first thing that came to mind. Which turned out to be the wrong thing.
“That’s actually really offensive, not to mention speciesist of you.”
“Sorry, sorry, didn’t realize that was a sore spot.” Foggy tried to ward off the incipient Murdock anti-discrimination rant™ with limited success.
“It’s fine, it just gets really irritating when people keep judging you on the basis of a cultural stereotype from the feudal era. I mean of course dragons back then hoarded gold, and terrorised villages. Everyone hoarded gold and terrorised villages. It was the activity of choice for pretty much everyone except the peasants, and you can bet your bottom dollar given half the chance they’d get in on the action. Seriously, anyone with any kind of weapons, or influence had a castle, with treasure, which they topped up by terrorising the local villagers into paying them taxes, that was what the whole economic system was based on, and yet still, whenever I tell people I’m a dragon it all “oh do you have a hoard of gold,” and “have you terrorised any villages lately”, I mean for God’s sake this is the modern world, humans don’t do that anymore why on earth would Dragons.” Matt paused to take a breath and Foggy took the opportunity to try and divert his attention from the rant. Once Matt Murdock really got going there was no stopping him, and Foggy still had questions.
“So was your Dad a Dragon?”
“Yes, both my parents were. Despite what fantasy roleplaying games would have you believe, interspecies reproduction is not actually possible.”
“Cool, hey I’m new at this, don’t bite my head off.”
“But you are crunchy and good with ketchup” Somehow this was less than amusing coming from someone with teeth as long as Foggy’s forearm.
“Not. Funny. Matt.”
“It was a bit. Anyway, is there anything else you wanted to know?” Ok clearly Matt was in a rare, sharing mood, Foggy decided to take full advantage.

:D please continue!

“So the whole supersenses thing. Is that because you’re a Dragon.”
“Basically yes, sort of. Dragons aren’t actually a very sight dependent species, in our true forms, we mostly rely on our other senses, so when the accident happened it was really just a matter of rerouting my dragon senses into my human form. We’re very sensitive to heat variations.”
“And you’re still blind in Dragon form.” Foggy double checked.
“Yeah, I mean I don’t miss it as much as when I’m in human form, but injuries carry over. If you’re blinded in one form you’re blind in the other. Stick actually had it the other way ‘round to me. He was blinded in Dragon form, some knight back in the time of the crusades heard the eyes were a weak spot and went for it. He was right but Stick ate him anyway, killing old Dragons is hard.” Matt has this slightly impressed look on his face as he said this, which Foggy found worrying. Eating people was not a valid conflict resolution strategy. He didn’t feel quite up to discussing the morality of eating people though so he decided to home in on the second most disturbing aspect of that sentence.
“The crusades?”
“Dragons age slower than humans, it’s a thing.” Matt looked slightly shifty, which meant. Oh hell no.
“Matt how old are you?”
“In Dragon years, or human years?” Matt tries to avoid the question.
“Matt”
“Ok, ok, so in human years I’m about fifty, which in Dragon terms makes me a fledgling. Basically an older teenager. Old enough to drive, cause trouble, and be trusted with adult responsibilities, not old enough to vote, avoid trouble, or have kids of my own.” Foggy kind of wants to bang his head repeatedly against the wall because this explains so much.
“So your really about…”
“The equivalent of about eighteen or nineteen yeah. Although that’s slightly misleading. Dragons don’t actually calculate age in years. We do it more in terms of developmental milestones.”
“Developmental milestones?”
“Right, so it goes like this. First of all you’re an egg, fairly self-explanatory, then you hatch and become a Hatchling (basically a kid), this is where it gets complicated. At some point within the next hundred years you learn to fly, and become a Fledgeling, at which point you’re considered a teenager, and largely left to fend for yourself. I mean your parents still keep an eye out but you’re responsible for your own life and choices. Then at some point within the next five hundred years you start developing the urge to hold territory, once you’ve managed to carve out a piece of territory and defend it from an older Dragon you’re considered an adult, and you can, like vote in council meetings, have kids if you want them, and are generally trusted to be a functioning member of society. It’s sort of like the dragon equivalent of leaving home and getting a job.”
“So the daredevil thing, is basically you trying to learn to be a responsible adult?”
“Kinda.” Matt looks embarrassed. He should be.
“You know I try to be accepting of other peoples cultures and everything Matt, but I’m just putting it out there. If you really want to be part of human society maybe dressing up in a silly costume and going out at night to beat up criminals isn’t the way to do it.”
“Humans do it, look at the avengers. Clearly fighting crime in costume is a perfectly acceptable way for people to work through their issues in today’s society. Just like in medieval times a duel to the death was a totally reasonable way to settle an argument.”
“Yeah but Matt, the avengers have also been known to build killer sentient robots, work for nazis, unleash alien invasions on New York, and allow Tony Stark to sing karaoke, are these really the kind of people whose example you want to be following.”

ahhhh, poor silly dragon!matt :D

Yeah, Matt, allowing Tony to sing karaoke is a bad idea, so why would you emulate them in any other way?

Great fill!
