Re: Why would Karen think that Matt was cheating when she walked in on Elektra in bed?

[(Anonymous)]

I know this isn't a prompt, but goddamn if attack dog!Matt doesn't push all my buttons. Karen yanking his chains like Elektra only in the opposite direction, and Matt being so relieved that she accepts him, so eager to please, so desperate to be good, that he basically eats validation out the palm of her hand. Matt being so lost after Elektra he would take anything, anything at all, that can prop him up to fight another day, that he doesn't even realize how fucked-up this dynamic is.

And Karen feels the power trip. Lets it get to her head. This is Daredevil wrapped around her finger, he'll do anything she asks, all the bad guys beware, they''ll be unstoppable. Basically they're the heroic version of Fisk and Wesley, only 200 million times more mutually self-destructive. It will be both horrifying and awesome.
