Hmm, how about… (and I’m just throwing out ideas here, take ‘em or leave ‘em as you’d like)
Matt needs a reason to be in the woods, right? And if you’re doing the Scent Marking prompt, too, Foggy needs to be there with him. So, scenarios:
- It’s a safe house the Avengers/SHIELD put them in to temporarily get them off the radar; this could open the door for a more involved plot if you wanted that - It’s some sort of professional conference held in the rugged outdoors because the conference runners are the kind of pretentious gurus who think what lawyers really need to do is get back in touch with nature - It’s a Nelson family trip of some sort; maybe the whole brood, or maybe just a very small group of cousins who had a good deal on the place and Foggy wheedled Matt into taking a break
But no matter the scenario, Matt has to deal with being grumpy and out-of-sorts due to the ~great outdoors~ and he ALSO has to deal with the unwelcome surprise of intruders who are trying to lure Foggy away with ridiculous things like ‘nature hikes’, or ‘professional networking with the bees’, or ‘yeah, I was an undercover agent with SHIELD, want to see the scars I got saving the world from aliens?’. It’d be hell for him, basically.
