We've had a lot of MCU slavery AUs prompted, and I was thinking about one for comics-verse.

In an AU where Tony didn't get mindfucked after Extremis, so he didn't throw his support behind SHRA in an attempt to steer it to something the superhero community could potentially survive SHRA was written as a law completely enslaving all superhumans - and some normal humans with access to exotic weaponry (e.g. War Machine). Supers who voluntarily register themselves get a better deal, sometimes including their choice of owners, and Matt realises that he can't get away with trying to keep his identity hidden any longer - maybe he gets a visit from a registered superhuman, who points out that his cover is stretched paper-thin, it only works because Foggy's such a brilliant lawyer that he managed to win that libel case.

So he registers, and gives himself to Foggy (maybe he does it after they've argued about it, and he realises that Foggy was right about him not being able to hide this time, so this is his way of apologising.)

I love this so much.

Thanks, I had some more thoughts about the registration process. Once Matt's signed up he's ordered to strip and kneel, and he realises that he doesn't have a choice, he has to obey - because he doesn't know for certain that he'll be given to Foggy.

He's asked what he wants and he only has three things: belonging to Foggy; staying in New York, and getting to stay a lawyer. Maybe the guy processing him is a bit cruel, telling him that he's not that much use outside New York, or maybe he's impersonal, making notes and not really engaging. Matt didn't think about the possibility of Foggy not agreeing to own him, and has trouble naming a back-up owner of his choice.

There's probably a pretty humiliating medical examination as part of Matt's processing, and he's fitted with a tracking chip, one that maybe includes a 'leash' that punishes him for going too far from where he's allowed to be. He's not worth fitting with any sort of control devices unless his owner requests it later perhaps.

Matt might be sort of panicking at one point, because he didn't think this through at all.

Forever seconding all slavery AUs ever, but I do have to ask - so, enslaving superhumans/metahumans/whatever you call them is an effort to get them to be controlled, that makes enough sense. BUT, it seems dangerous to just let them belong to random citizens - like, basically anyone could just collect enough people with powers and build themselves a private slave army.Are there any safe guards against that? Also, how high is the guarantee that you get the owner you applied for? I could imagine a lot of superheroes registering themselves would want to belong to their spouse/parents (in case of teenage superheroes).

Also, what does Foggy think of all this? Would he want Matt to go on the run? Does he think that mayyyybe that is a good thing, because now he'll be able to tell Matt to slow down, rest, let yourself HEAL goddammit, and want to protect him?

Oh there'd definitely be safeguards - for one thing a convicted criminal superhuman would almost never get a choice of owners. Tony belongs to Pepper most likely. Generally there'd be a matrix, power level, history of the super in question, and how qualified the chosen owner is, as well as how many superhuman slaves(s)he already holds. (Also how soon the super in question registered.)

Being a lawyer, and with Daredevil not being exactly spectacular by Marvel standards, Foggy would have no problem passing the checks to own Matt, but a lot of random spouses might run into difficulties.

The trigger for Matt deciding to register was probably a fight with Foggy on the subject, prompting him to acknowledge that he can't just stick his head in the sand and pretend that he can still keep his identity secret. I suspect that Foggy would be happy to get the chance to keep Matt a bit safer, to prevent him from going out too injured, and maybe get him some help with his mental issues.

Hmm, so what would actually change for Matt, do you think? Like, an IC Foggy would probably continue to treat him like a friend and let him continue to work as a lawyer - would Matt also be allowed to continue to be DD if he is registered?

(also, random sidenote that has nothing to do with the prompt, but just because I enjoy slavery what-ifs:P _ Talking spouses, I wonder what the F4 would do? Like, their entire family would have to be enslaved...or would Reed Richards simply go F this, we're leaving! Because he doesn't want to see them separated and himself, genius scientist, possibly under lockdown forever? Would Thor leave and stay on Asgard if that happened? Would Doctor Strange hole himself up in some weirdo dimension until all this blows over? Would Cap lead some sort of resistance movement? (I could see him seeing Matt as a traitor, but actually, he and Foggy had the plan of going against the system from within...?)
Spider-Man would likely end up belonging to aunt may and would be fine, I think? (as soon as she recovers from the shock what her nephew does after school, anyway...)
Nobody would probably want to own Deadpool. XD

I don't think much would change for Matt, no. The only way Foggy would stop him working as a lawyer is if Matt was disbarred again. And yes, he'd be allowed to be Daredevil since he's registered - might have to get extra insurance of some sort mind.

The only things I can see changing is that Foggy would keep Matt from going out too injured and that he might push Matt to get some treatment for his mental health issues.

I'm not sure about most of that. In canon Reed was largely the architect of the SHRA, even though Tony gets blamed for it, but yes the F4 are too powerful to get to stay together if they registered, so they'd probably move. And Thor had his own stuff on Asgard at the time, didn't he?

And yes, Matt and Foggy probably go work on making as many legal challenges to the SHRA as they can.

God yes, owning Deadpool would be a nightmare.

Owning Deadpool would be like owning the worst dog ever. Anyone who did would just be apologizing CONSTANTLY.

I have to admit I haven't yet read any issues belonging to the SHRA/Civil War business (I've heard some choice plot points about it, and that it was a bit of a clusterfuck) but yeah, you're right, Reed was on Tony's side - though I do wonder how fast he'd jump ship if it became less about 'go public' and more about 'get owned'? (But yeah, that is also why I have no idea where Thor and friends might have been during that time...what about the X-men, though? I can imagine Magneto throwing a downright fit at the idea of humans enslaving meta-humans, and even Xavier NOT cool with the idea of someone touching his students. (What was his stance on registering?)

Meanwhile, if you're looking for something to read while waiting for a fill here, these are my two current fav slavery-related prompts, both with various fill-bits - one is a sort of AU where Foggy gets Matt as a present and doesn't know yet he's DD -

http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/4501.html?thread=7975573#cmt7975573

and one is this, where the Avengers are surprised to find out that DD who they've been fighting together with is actually a slave owned by someone named Franklin Nelson. Matt hates it.

http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/5006.html?thread=9372046#cmt9372046

aaand a third one, which is actually a little bit similar to your suggestion; meta-humans can be rented as body guards and are fairly brainwashed and conditioned:

http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/5006.html?thread=9699982#cmt9699982

All of these prompts have some nice discussion going on, so more participants are always welcome.^^

As for the scenario in this prompt - so, I'm wondering how the first meeting between Foggy and Matt might go after he went and let himself be registered - like, is he gonna be put into a holding facility while they contact Foggy, going 'hey, so our most recent acquisition would like to be owned by you, wanna swing by to pick him up...?' and Foggy would be like 'JESUS CHRIST MATT WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT THESE THINGS' and then when he goes into the center - what would the pick-up procedure be like? What would their first walk home be like? Does Matt get to keep his apartment?

Think some poor government functionary ends up with Deadpool - unless he gets back together with Cable of course - and yes, owning him would be an absolute nightmare.

I think the X-men and the other mutants were mostly handling House of M (fallout) at the time.

I've been following those prompts, and involved in the discussions.

And yes, it makes a lot of sense for the registration office to put Matt into some sort of holding facility while they contact Foggy and get him to come and collect him. I imagine he'd have to collect a manual on required procedures for owning Matt's class of superhuman, and schedule some training for the two of them. And definitely for the swearing and the why don't you talk to me.

I think it would depend on when and how a super was registered, in Matt's case he'd get to keep any significant property, although it might have restrictions on what he could do with it, but it would be up to Foggy if he was allowed to keep more minor property.

Thor was dead during Civil War. That's why Tony cloned a brainless version of him to use as a weapon. So, no Thor during Civil War. He's out of play entirely. Same thing with Hulk - Civil War sort of kicks off with Tony and the rest of the Illuminati chucking him out an airlock into space because he's too dangerous to keep around. Although if we're imagining a universe where the Illuminati didn't exist and Tony never sided with the government, that might not matter. (Just as an FYI for the people wondering about Thor or Hulk on this thread).

I'm envisioning that certain countries would object to ownership and close their borders entirely to the rest of the world - I can't imagine Black Panther wanting anything to do with it, for example.

The idea is interesting to me from an accountability standpoint - I can see the government wanting a non-metahuman to own a meta-human to add an additional layer of responsibility to it (which was sort of the point of the SHRA). So, for example, if Matt beats someone up as DD it's technically assault and Foggy could then be sued by that person. Or if Matt causes damages, Foggy is responsible for paying them.

So to me, it wouldn't make sense for Matt to be able to continue to act as Daredevil outside of a sanctioned, SHIELD-type scenario. And I could see it causing problems for Foggy having to be accountable for Matt's behaviours.

Maybe they argue and Matt's even insistent that he's going to take off and try to exile himself in an non-hostile country, but Foggy finally gets to the point with him where he knocks him out and calls the authorities himself and volunteers for ownership. So there's a level of MASSIVE betrayal and angst when Matt wakes up and finds out what Foggy did, but Foggy's adamant that it's for Matt's own good.

(Can you tell that I like my slavery stories with an extra dose of humiliation in them? I don't know WTF is wrong with me, honestly...)

Oh fuck yes, this would be a much angstier version than I prompted, but it really hits all of my buttons. I'd love to read a fill along those lines every bit as much as I'd enjoy a fill more in line with the prompt.

And definitely, it's mostly America that does the whole enslaving supers thing at this time. Black Panther would have no part in it, and other countries rejected the comics SHRA.

So this is totally a WIP and (I won't lie) I don't know if I'll continue it because I have four prompts I've promised to write for other people and three outstanding WIPs right now (because I'm insane and write fanfiction when I should be working). But it just seeped into my brain and wouldn't go away. If you do want to see this continued, I also won't lie that good feedback will serve as a nice incentive.

They had until midnight that night. That gave them three hours. Three hours to make a decision that would impact the rest of their lives. Three hours to decide on fight or flight. At least that was the way Matt saw it. Foggy wasn't so sure.

"You're really willing to just abandon everything that we have worked so hard to build?" he asked Matt tearfully.

"Foggy, I..." Matt stammered. "I don't have a choice. If I stay and fight, if I go underground with Cap and the others, they'll arrest you to get to me. Or they'll catch up to me and we'll never see each other again. They might even keep you in jail in that case too, as an accessory. The laws right now say that they won't, but the laws they've managed to draft and enforce so far aren't exactly constitutional, so who knows what could happen. Don't you understand, Foggy? If I stay, they will come for me. What we have is already gone! I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" Foggy said, emotional. "For what? For being Daredevil? Don't be sorry for that, Matt. You shouldn't have to be. I may not have liked it, but you know I always supported you. Hell, I put my reputation on the line for you, buddy. But if you leave? If you just take off and that's it for Nelson and Murdock? That you will be sorry for. That you'll regret for the rest of your life. I know you will."

"Why are you making this more difficult, Foggy? You know I have to go," Matt told him, packing his laptop and several sentimental souvenirs from his office to take with him.

"But you don't," Foggy said.

"Yes, I do!" Matt insisted.

"Are we really going to ignore the third option, here?" Foggy asked.

"Are we really going to talk about it?" Matt snapped back. "Like it's an option at all? It's slavery, Foggy. Pure and simple. So... if you really want to go there, go ahead. Argue with me that I should give up my right to call myself a free human being with basic rights and dignity."

Foggy didn't have anything to say to that.

"Okay then," Matt said. "So it's decided."

And he moved to the main office to continue to pack his things.

And Foggy realized in that moment that he was done letting Matt decide. Matt's decisions so far had been only ever led them both to pain and misery, heartbreak and death. And now Foggy had a way to finally put an end to it. He finally had a way to save Matt from himself. Even if it meant doing the one thing that he knew Matt would never be able to forgive him for.

That night, after a tearful goodbye where Matt clutched him like a lifeline and almost couldn't let go, where they said what Matt thought was a final goodbye, Foggy picked up his cell phone. And he called the registration number that was plastered on billboards throughout the city, the one that said "If you know something, say something!" over an image of a burned out crater that was formerly an elementary school. And he told them what he knew.

This is gorgeous. You can see just how torn up Matt is - although I do wonder how they ended up in such a tight time-crunch.

And when you eliminate the possibility of complying with the law, Matt's right, he can't risk Foggy by doing anything but running. And he's right about how horrible the whole registration thing is in this world.

But at the same time you can see just how done Foggy is with enabling Matt, letting him get away with making decisions that affect both of them without giving Foggy any input, or even letting him know that there's a decision to be made sometimes.

I like this. I havent read thoise comics but teh rpemise it's interesting. Wat entails to be a slave in the 21º century? That's something i'd love to read

Well, I'm torn. I'd like to see more of this, especially the scenes where Matt gets "captured" and how he and Foggy meet up again as master and slave. But on the other hand, if you have prompts you're writing for other people, and other fics, too, then part of me wants you to fulfil your obligations.

I really liked how Foggy couldn't say anything to Matt in defense of the "slavery" option, but as soon as Matt was gone, Foggy called The Number. The image of the burned out crater was a good touch.
