Except for maybe Clint whose disability is not always visible, none of the Avengers have really been around somebody with a disability especially in public. They are shocked and appalled when they discover how the public will sometimes treat people who are blind. My grandmother is blind so I have seen some of this firsthand! Please show me either an Avenger or Foggy addressing some of these ableist jerks!
*Waiters who do a heavy sigh and are pissed when you ask for a Braille menu * Cashiers who will steal from you *People who asked REALLY horrible and awkward questions *The staff who never offers to lead even when it's obvious that help is needed *And the opposite, assholes who just grab an arm and DRAG the blind person without even asking *Servers who assume that blind also equals deaf and mentally impaired
These are just a few possible scenarios. There are LOTS of ways this could go. BONUS for any Matt/Foggy
Avengers v. Ableism, gen (Matt/Foggy if you really squint)
