Matt/Daredevil as a Cover Story

[(Anonymous)]

Karen finds some incriminating piece of Daredevil paraphernalia at Matt's apartment. Matt tries to come up with a plausible excuse, but Foggy beats him to it: Matt has been dating Daredevil for a few months now.

At first, she's a little bit heartbroken...but then she starts to ship it. HARD. Matt has no idea what he's in for.

I can imagine Matt turning to look at Foggy like this:

So, I kinda want to write something based on this, but knowing me, it would turn into actual Matt/Daredevil via alternate universe shenanigans, so I will humble second instead.

Re: Matt/Daredevil as a Cover Story

[(Anonymous)]

There can be multiple fills!!!!

Not OP, but I would read the shit outta that!

Re: Matt/Daredevil as a Cover Story

[(Anonymous)]

Oh! Or you could post your fill here (http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/1296.html?thread=2671376#cmt2671376).

Re: Matt/Daredevil as a Cover Story

[(Anonymous)]

XD True, but that doesn't quite fit the plot that's brewing. Basically, it would be a "Karen finds Matt's suit, Foggy covers for Matt and then Matt's alternate self accidentally winds up in his universe and has to pretend to date Matt to keep Karen from suspecting anything" I can't seem to stop writing Matt/Alternate Matt XD

Re: Matt/Daredevil as a Cover Story

D!A, but I second the above sentiment. I would definitely read it, please post if you write it!

Mini Fill: Matt's dating Daredevil

[(Anonymous)]

(Potential Filler Anon) Alright, so I have begun to write something for this and I'm posting the first part as a mini fill. If OP's okay with the rest of the thing turning into Matt/Daredevil, I'll post the rest here, but if not, I'll put it up on AO3.

One day, Matt couldn't hide the suit well enough. Karen and Foggy had unexpectedly come over to go over some files and she stepped on the mask which was peeking out from beneath the couch. It probably would have been fine, except she had thin socks on and had stepped on one of the horns.

"Matt," she asked, pulling it out from beneath the couch. "What's this?"

She held it up to the light and frowned at it.

"Um...," Matt said, throwing Foggy a panicked glance. "It's...um..."

"Why do you have Daredevil's mask?"

"Um" "He's dating him," Foggy blurted at the same time. He threw Matt a glance and shrugged.

"Really?" Karen sounded skeptical, but there was something in her voice that said that she would be perfectly happy believing the lie.

Matt nodded. "It's true. I was trying to keep it a secret for obvious reasons."

Karen glared at him.

"Oh my god, Matt is that why you're getting so beat up all the time? Is he hurting you?"

Matt turned as red as the mask currently at Karen's feet.

"No, it's..."

"Oh," Karen said. "Oh"

Next to him, Foggy grimaced.

"That's not something we needed to know buddy."

"She asked!" Matt defended.

Karen laughed. "I want to know everything."

Matt gulped. He couldn't see this turning out well.

Threadfail! I meant this comment to be in response to the story.

YES. This is hilarious! I do hope you post more!

Re: Mini Fill: Matt's dating Daredevil

(Author Anon) Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I'm gonna see what OP says before I decide where I'm posting the rest of it.

Re: Mini Fill: Matt's dating Daredevil

[(Anonymous)]

OP here, and very excited to have a fill going! :)

Feel free to post more! I'm alright with it becoming actual Matt/Daredevil (although if anyone else is interested in filling the prompt the other way, don't be discouraged).

I like the bantering attitude you've set up between them! I'd love to see Karen pressing Matt for details that he then has to make up on the spot, much to Foggy's tremendous amusement. Also Karen worrying about Matt because of the occupational hazards of dating a superhero. But those are just a few ideas--do whatever you like!

(Author Anon) Omg, thank you! I will post part 2 now! I think part 4 is where we really get into the interrogation stuff. XD

Matt's Dating Daredevil Part 2

[(Anonymous)]

Throughout the next week, Karen kept asking him questions about how he and Daredevil had met (he rescued Matt from being mugged), what they did on dates (listened to music) and when she could meet him.

"Why," Matt asked.

"Because I want to make sure he's good for you," she explained. "You're family. I want to make sure he's taking care of you."

Matt blinked. His eyes looked a little wet in the light.

"I'll ask," he said finally and Karen smiled at him.

"Great," she said. "Let's do dinner on Friday?"

"I think," Matt said cautiously, trying to remember his Friday plans,"that should work."

———————

"I told Karen I'd ask my fake boyfriend to come to dinner Friday night," Matt said as soon as Foggy picked up the phone. "Help"

Foggy laughed for about five minutes straight. Matt measured; he had very good time sense.

"I told you, you should have just told her," Foggy said.

"Don't start with me," Matt snapped. "This is all your fault. Where am I supposed to find someone to pretend to be Daredevil by Friday night? It's Monday!"

"I panicked! What was I supposed to do?"

Matt paced around his living room.

"You should have said anything but that!" He sighed and slumped onto the couch.

"I don't know how long I can keep putting this off," he said wearily.

Foggy was silent for a long time and Matt was reminded of the gulf that existed between them after Foggy had found out his secret. He swallowed, licking his lips and opened his mouth to speak.

"We'll figure it out buddy," Foggy said eventually. He sounded tired and Matt's heart hurt. The now familiar wish bubbled up, but he couldn't stop being Daredevil. The city needed him too much.

"Thanks Foggy," he said finally and hung up.

It's probably due to all those hits he took on the head.

Matt's Dating Daredevil Part 3

[(Anonymous)]

Far above Hell's Kitchen came the sound of thunder and a large purple circle opened up in the sky. If anyone was around, they would have gotten flashbacks to The Battle of New York, but the night was quiet and the streets empty.

A red-suited figure fell from the portal, one arm flinging out and hurling a grappling hook at the nearest overhang. It caught and the figure used the momentum to swing up to the roof of the building and landed heavily with a thump.

Then, it tilted it's head and jumped to another, nearby roof, heading eastward into the Kitchen.

———

Matt groaned, pacing the length of his living room as he tried to come up with an excuse as to why Daredevil couldn't make it to dinner on Friday.

"He's injured? No, that won't work if I show up without him and I can.'t do that to Karen. He's got dinner with his parents? No, no, then she'll ask if I've met his parents, think the relationship's serious and get all upset when I stage the inevitable breakup."

He made another turn at the kitchen counter and started back towards the opposite wall.

None of his excuses would hold up to scrutiny. Even if something was the slightest bit off, Karen would sense it like a shark sensing blood in water and worry at it until he gave in and told her the truth. He couldn't do that. He had to keep her safe. It was bad enough that Foggy had found out.

Then, his ears picked up on the sound of the roof access door creaking open and he dropped into a defensive stance.

Someone came down the stairs. Their breathing was unsteady and their heartbeat was stressed. They stopped abruptly before reaching the last step.

"Who's there," they called out.

Matt frowned. The billboard outside the window was buzzing which meant that it was on and Foggy had told him that it lit up his entire living room enough to see by.

"You're blind," Matt said.

The stranger tilted their head to one side. Matt wondered what he was hearing. The rhythm of their heartbeat was familiar and their voice sounded like his on court recordings.

"Who are you," Matt asked, trying to puzzle it out as he rose from his position.

"Matt Murdock," the stranger said and Matt nearly fell over.

He laughed. "Try again"

The stranger held their hands up. They were male, about his height and they moved in the same way he did. They'd had training, similar to his.

"I can prove it," the stranger said, stepping forward. His clothes didn't make much noise and Matt could tell that they were stuck tightly to his skin.

"I'm Daredevil," the stranger said and Matt gaped at him.

Fumbling, he reached up with shaky hands to feel the stranger's suit. The fabric of the suit was thick, almost latex-like. The stranger's muscles were long and rope-like and they relaxed as Matt ran his hands over them. He slid his hands up to the stranger's face. Part of it was covered with a mask, but the lower half of his face was stubble free. It wasn't until he felt the horns that he believed the stranger was telling the truth.

"But you don't have stubble," he said and the stranger-himself and isn't that weird, laughed.

"I tell you I'm Daredevil and all you can say is I don't have stubble," the other him asked.

"I have stubble," Matt said quietly.

His other self jerked and his heartbeat doubled.

"Wait," he said slowly, "who are you?!"

"Matt Murdock," Matt said and wondered at his other self's intelligence.

His other self nodded. "Yeah. I should have figured with the way you were touching my face and all."

"Sorry," Matt said and felt himself blush.

His other self waved a hand. "Don't worry about it. This is not the strangest thing that's happened to me."

He held his hands near Matt's face and asked, "May I?"

"Go ahead," Matt said and closed his eyes.

The examination was brief, but calming in a way and it was over too quickly.

"I like the stubble," his other self said and he could feel himself redden further.

"Please stop," he said.

Just then his phone started ringing.

"Karen, Karen, Karen," the electronic voice chirped and the other him tensed.

Matt picked it up. "Hello?"

"Matt," Karen said. "Did you ask him about dinner?"

Uh..." Matt had completely forgotten. The other him snickered, just loud enough for Karen to hear it over the line.

"Is he there with you? Can I talk to him?"

"We were discussing it," Matt said hastily. "I'll call you back when we've decided."

He hung up on her after getting her assent and turned back to his other self.

"Do you want to meet Karen for dinner Friday night?"

"Sure," his other self said, confused.

"Great," Matt said. "Then you're pretending to be my boyfriend."

"What?"

I'm sorry, this was so dialogue heavy.

Matt's Dating Daredevil Part 4

[(Anonymous)]

After his alternate self ("Call me Mike," he had said) had fallen on the floor laughing after Matt explained the problem. (Matt refused to help him up. ) He got to his feet and sat on Matt's couch.

"Yeah," he said. "I can do that. It wouldn't be the strangest thing I've had to do. But, you should really make friends with Iron Fist. He helped me out of problems like this in my universe."

He paused for a moment before continuing. "Speaking of my universe, I should track down Strange and ask him if he can send me back. But, don't worry, I'll help you with your problem first. It'll take a while to find Strange anyway."

"Okay," Matt said, still dazed by Mike's agreement.

"So," Mike said, leaning forward and looking eagerly in his direction. "How'd we meet?"

"You rescued me from a mugging," Matt said. "It was very romantic."

Mike snorted. "We're gonna need more detail then that."

Matt lightly drummed his fingers on the coffee table and leaned back in the armchair.

"How dramatic do we want to go," he asked.

Mike hummed, fingers moving against each other in a contemplative manner.

"Probably not too dramatic," he said after a while. "My Foggy says I always overdo it."

They talk and talk and fall asleep in the middle of tossing ideas back and forth, only to wake when Matt's alarm went off. Mike jerked awake and nearly smashed Matt's coffee table in half.

"It's just my alarm clock," Matt said, rubbing at the back of his neck.

"I've got to get to work. Will you be okay on your own?"

"Yeah," Mike said. "I'm going to see if I can track down Strange."

Matt nodded.

"Good luck," he said, getting up and stretching. He headed into the bedroom to grab clothes and then hit the shower.
————
"You met yourself from an alternate universe and asked him to be your fake boyfriend for dinner Friday night," Foggy said slowly and Matt nodded.

There was a long, awful silence before Foggy sighed and put his head in his hands.

"I thought you said 'no more lies' Matt."

Matt leaned against the wall and let the cement and dust overwhelm his senses. He was glad Karen had gone out for a long lunch break; she was probably planning on how to best interrogate them on Friday night.

"I'm not lying Foggy," he said softly. "He told me he was Daredevil. There's only one other person in the world that knows that."

"I," Foggy started, swallowing. "I hope you know what you're doing Matt."

"So do I," Matt said quietly.

Sorry, I know I promised you interrogation in this part, but that didn't happen. But it definitely will, that I can promise.
