Matt invents twin because of DNA science, actually goes well (as it could, considering)
(Anonymous) 2015-11-09 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)So we've been learning about genetic profiling in my genetics class. Basically, it's how scientists can tell where a blood/saliva/literally any DNA sample came from if they have a comparison. It can be a minuscule amount or really old, whatever. Science, right?
But anyway, Matt tends to bleed all over Hell's Kitchen. And maybe no one is trying to figure out who Daredevil is after the whole taking down Fisk thing, and maybe it's an accident. But for some reason, some of Matt's DNA gets picked up and it's sitting in a database somewhere.
If he was ever accused of anything and forced to give a DNA sample, it would be a match. And sure, he could explain one blood sample away, but his DNA is literally scattered over the city. That's a bit harder to explain.
Now, this is where Matt's twin comes in. Because the science isn't sequencing the entire sequence of DNA, it's just looking at parts that are individual to everyone. If you look at enough parts, the odds are so high that there aren't enough people in the world for there to be another person with the same markers.
Except for identical twins.
Now, maybe Matt knows this, maybe he learns shortly after Brett pulls him aside and asks him before the rest of the shit hits the fan, what exactly his blood is doing everywhere.
So Matt invents Mike. It's not actually a terrible plan, because here's someone he can blame the DNA on. And of course he can act sighted enough for Mike to be sighted, unless people start flashing lights around or using screens. (It's not a perfect plan.)
So once that is cleared up, Matt is in the clear, and Mike can skip town. Problem solved.
(Except Foggy is dying with laughter and the whole thing is just a mess, but it worked, right?)
+ maybe Matt can claim that when his mother left, she took a twin with her, and he didn't know until he was a teenager or something. Foggy's just sitting there nodding like 'yeah I met Mike during college. He's a wild guy.'

mini-fill: Matt invents twin because of DNA science, actually goes well (as it could, considering)
(Anonymous) 2015-11-12 03:03 am (UTC)(link)After handing out torture training, Claire spends a sleepless night re-evaluating her life choices. She doesn’t regret it precisely, but this isn’t a road she wants to go down. Her man in black needs help though, and if she isn’t willing to supply it, well, she can’t just abandon him.
And it’s not like it’s hard to work out who he is. It’s right there in her free community paper that she reads without interest when eating corn flakes at ten o’clock at night. Nelson & Murdock, local boys made good, opening their own tiny law firm.
She books an appointment with Mr Nelson.
Foggy agrees to meet the anxious woman begging for an appointment at the coffee shop just down from the hospital. He isn’t quite sure what the problem is, from her nervous fear and her desire to only speak to him, don’t bring anyone else at all, he rather thinks he’ll be advising her to call the police and writes down Brett’s number on a scrap of paper in preparation.
It’s not like he doesn’t want to help out though. And if all he can do is hold her hand while she talks to Brett, then that’s what he’ll do.
She’s pretty, is his first thought, then realizes pretty is completely inadequate. Claire is clearly a steel magnolia, heavy on the armor-plating.
That makes him nervous, because the woman before him is not one who is naturally anxious, nervous, or fearful. If it was actually a police matter he thinks she’d already be down the station.
“So how can I help you?” he asks politely once she’s bought her coffee.
She looks at him, “You seem a nice guy, Mr Nelson.”
“I, uh, like to think so,” he rubs the back of his neck feeling judged and wanting.
“How well do you know your partner, Mr Murdock?”
Foggy feels himself freeze and deliberately relaxes. He doesn’t know what this woman wants with Matt, but she isn’t getting it from him.
“Suppose you explain exactly why you called me?” He can’t quite hide the bite in his voice.
“Huh.” Her gaze warms into something approving. “Would you say you were good friends?”
There’s a speech Foggy could give, all thunderous eloquence and burning rhetoric, but none of it would mean anything as much as avocados-at-law – besides like hell is he spilling his insides to a strange woman in a coffee shop.
He shrugs his shoulders, “I started a law firm with him, I can tolerate the little shit.”
“You’ve been friends for a long time then.”
Foggy shrugs again.
“Sometimes you don’t really know people, even if they’ve been a friend for a long time. Sometimes people do things that are – unforgivable.”
Chill fingers crawl along Foggy’s spine. He sets his shoulders to deliberately emphasize their heft,
“Why don’t you just tell me what Matt’s got himself caught up in so I can start working on how to haul him out.”
“He’s been lying to you Mr Nelson, you might just decide to let him sink.”
Foggy ignores the irrelevancy, “Because you’ve told me enough that if you don’t, I’ll just go shake the truth out of him. And if you tell me, there’s significantly less chance of anyone getting punched in the face.”
She’s laughs then, the sort of manic laugh that means you’ve hit a nerve hard.
Foggy thinks – thinks of the blue-black bruise across Matt’s cheek and the fading yellow-brown around his eye, thinks of the stiff caution with which Matt’s been moving, the way he guards his ribs – and goes very still.
“Tell me.”
She does.
Now Foggy knows he can see it when he returns to the office. Matt knows something is up before Foggy even opens the door, he can see it in Matt’s anxious face, the way he tilts his head to better hear the heart Foggy can feel thrashing inside him, the way his fingers grope at the air as if they can pluck the cause of Foggy’s discomfort out the air.
“Hey,” says Matt, “come tell me how the appointment went.”
Before Foggy left all three of them were joking about the possibility of an actual paying client. He would have expected the joking to continue, but Karen, after a quick glance at Matt’s somber face, goes quiet and focuses on her work.
Foggy thinks back over all the years he and Matt seemed magically attuned and he almost hates it because there was never anything magic about it, and yet at the same time Matt was paying all that attention to him. Yeah it was kinda creepy invasive attention, heartbeats Murdock, seriously? but Foggy had been worth that sort of effort. Which was nice, in the same way a cat clawing your face for attention was nice.
“Karen,” and sees Matt flinch at the calmness in his voice, “would you mind taking a long lunch, I need to talk to my partner for a moment.”
“And by talk you maybe mean shout a bit,” says Karen, grabbing her purse.
“Make that a lot,” says Foggy.
Karen winces, “I’m gone. Call me when it’s safe.”
There’s a long pause.
Matt’s hands clench into white knuckled fists, but he doesn’t say anything.
Foggy knows you can use silence as a tool to intimidate or attack, knows the one who speaks first loses, and he knows Matt knows too. Foggy still breaks silence, because Matt is always going to be more stubborn than him, he’s always known that even before he found out about the insane vigilanting with super-senses. Also he knows how very much Matt would like to never have this conversation and Foggy is just done with being accommodating to Matt Murdock.
He smiles, all teeth, “So I’ve just had a very interesting conversation with a lady named Claire.”
For second he thinks the fuck is going to deny it, then the long eye lashes flutter once, twice, and Matt says,
“You realize Karen is standing outside the office clutching her hands and chanting, please don’t let them split up, under her breath.”
It’s admission, confirmation and apology all in one go.
Foggy wants to shake him til his teeth rattle.
Karen wraps her arms tightly around herself and waits She doesn’t know what’s gone so wrong but she has never seen Foggy that coldly angry. It was like he was a different person.
So she’s waiting because they were her safe haven when the world turned against her and she’s not ready to lose that. She can’t leave them when they’re so unhappy – and in the very back of her mind, she’s thinking about Matt’s bruises, and no, she’s imagining things. She’s just not moving from this spot until she knows they’re both okay.
Loud and furious, the yelling reaches her easily through the open window. She can’t make out all the words but, stupid, stupid, stupid, comes through pretty clear. Something smashes.
Karen is through the door and up the stairs before she even thinks it through.
They’re standing the middle of the room, Foggy is waving his hands around still yelling. Matt looks small and shrunken where he stands but the only physical damage is to the coffee mug that hit the wall.
“I cannot believe you didn’t tell me.”
“Because I knew you’d react like this.”
“That,” Foggy looks like he wants to throw the chair after the mug but restrains himself, “that son of a bitch is back in town dragging you into who knows what and you didn’t think to tell me.”
“Don’t insult my mother.”
Exploding with frustration Foggy flings himself back a step. Whatever his response would have been is cut short when he catches sight of Karen and abruptly straightens up and tries to stop looking at the end of his tether.
Matt, unaware of her presence, continues, “It’s not your concern.”
“Not my concern? You,” Foggy glances at Karen and makes a gulping sound clearly hamstrung by her presence from continuing the argument the way he’d like.
Matt smiles like he’s won that point. “There’s no point discussing this any further. I’m going to lunch. I don’t want to fight you, but you can’t run my life for me.”
Judging by Foggy’s expression there’s a lot he wants to say to that but he just sighs and wraps one arm around Matt’s shoulder. They both slump into each other, foreheads touching briefly.
“I, me too,” Matt sounds half-strangled by words he hasn’t managed to say.
“Yeah, yeah,” Foggy shakes his head tiredly. “Get going Murdock. I’ll be here when you get back.”
Matt clutches his arm so tightly his knuckles shine white.
“Me too,” agrees Foggy, “now shoo.”
Matt collects his cane and starts tapping his way out the office. Foggy makes a sharp cutting gesture when Karen would have said something and she stays quiet and unnoticed.
After Matt’s safely gone, she turns to him for an explanation. Foggy’s head drops,
“Can we not. I’ll explain everything but not just now.”
He looks at the end of his rope. Karen smiles, only slightly fake, “I’ll wait.”
“Thank you.”
Foggy heads into his office and she can hear him collapse back in his chair.
Karen takes her own seat and stares at her work without interest. She’s still distracted when the door flies open with a crash. She jumps to her feet, straightening her skirt, flicking her hair into place and scrabbling desperately for some professionalism. They need clients.
“Hi, I’m,” and her voice dies in her throat, because standing in front of her, looking her up and down like he’s imaging her naked and enjoying the view, is Matt Murdock’s double.
“Well hel-lo,” says the Matt-double. It’s like the worst pick-up attempt ever times about ten. He’s wearing gleaming aviator shades, leather jacket, black t-shirt and well-worn black jeans. Objectively he should be smoking hot.
Karen gasps with relief when the door to Foggy’s office opens.
“Karen, who was… oh fuck it’s him.”
“Is that any way to greet an old friend, Foggy Bear?” Matt-double is grinning like it’s the funniest thing ever.
“Oh god, shut up.”
“Foggy who is – ?” Karen stutters.
Foggy rubs a hand over his face, and generally looks like he wishes he could disappear.
“Michael Murdock,” says Matt-double. “Pleasure to meet you.”
