Arrival Hall (CLOSED to Frank Castle)
It's cold.

He's not where he was before. He knows that much. He squeezes his eyes shut and lets his senses go, scanning his surroundings like an uncalibrated radar. Metal. Lots of metal, clanging, banging. But everything is wrong. Lighter, like things are floating even when they're not. People are talking. Laughing, maybe. But distant, like the next apartment building over, or somewhere down the next block. The fine hairs on his arms and on the back of his neck stand with the low buzz-hum of the vessel, creaking, engine churning like an old ship, suspended in space.

It's like a hangover, except. He feels heavy even though he's light. Shackles on his feet. His head hurts. Everything hurts. And God, what is that noise?

Less of a waking up, more of regaining consciousness as Matt rolls over with a pained cry and a grimace.

His hand crawls over to the smartwatch, trying to mute the beeping and humming and screeching grating against his ears. What day is it? What time? What happened? He clutches the device with one hand and runs the other hand down his body. Daredevil's gone. Only Matthew. A jumpsuit covering the bandages. Stitches. Blood. No pearly gates, no apostles. No questions to answer about how he's lived his life, whether he's lived it well, whether he's repentant. Paid enough of a price. Just a jumpsuit... and a pair of boots?

"...lectra." Talking feels like rousing up a sandstorm in his throat. He groans and struggles to his feet, using energy he doesn't have to drive him forward. Out. Just the one thing on his mind.

I have to save her.

He gets blood on his palm as he presses his hand over a wet bandage, stitches having been ripped as he sluggishly stumbles deliriously down the corridor. His boots clunk along at an uneven, unsteady pace. Everything is too loud. Too cold. Too heavy. There's blood on the wall where he braced himself against it. And then there's a door. Everything flickers behind his closed eyelids. Black, red, black, red, black, black, black...

Room 6.27. Where everything's a little quieter. And he can just focus. Keep the red lights on in the dark.

6.27. Matthew. Chapter Six. Verse Twenty-Seven. 'Can any one of you, by worrying, add a single hour to your life?'

Hn. That's funny. The chuckle bubbles to the surface. For all the pain He's inflicted, God still has a decent sense of humour.


Departure Lounge (OTA)
He doesn't take kindly to being dumped in the med bay, but there's not much of a fight he can put up against Frank Castle in his current state. He's not sure how long he's been resting there, but when he's well enough to orientate himself again, he's not staying in the med bay. The machines are noisy. He has questions. He's scared.

Matt makes it two steps out of the med bay before space sickness kicks in. The sheer wrongness of the gravitational pull throws him off, throws everything around him off. He sinks down to his knees and clutches his head, curling up against the wall. He looks pale, like he's about to throw up.

About two months, that's when we first started arriving here.

[It's hard to keep track of time when there's no sunrise or sunset.]

But people keep coming through, and we still don't know how it happens. Everyone is working on it though.

"No, you won't," Kovacs says, letting him go so he can slump pitifully back onto the floor. He's not going to carry you, bridal style, Matt. You weren't really what he was looking for in a partner.

"I'm a little fucking tired of seeing dead bodies so stay alive, shithead," Kovacs says, sighing and shaking his head. "Why don't you crawl back into the medbay? There are beds there. Probably more comfortable than you just sitting here. Someone might step on you."

Someone like Kovacs. Good thing he was a little more aware right now, careful of where he was going and who was in his way.

Frank sees the problem long before Matt does, trying to ignore the sharp spike of hurt that goes through his heart at the words. He should know better than to be completely honest with him, and yet he always tries anyway. He's always the one reaching out, even when he has to tie Matt up to get him to listen. He leaps up, worried the table won't hold the man's weight, but also not about to let him injure himself further, no matter his own feelings right now. Getting behind Matt, he wraps both arms solidly around his shoulders and attempts to ease him up and away from the table then hopefully with a gentle push: back into his chair. The second he gets Matt seated, he's patting down his front for any new tears or bleeds.

"No, dipshit," he manages gruffly, real fear clenching his heart, obvious in the way the pace picks up. "She's my friend." Frank has a few of those, now. He did always manage to pick them up wherever he went, not that Matt would know it. But he's joined the community here, when people need his help he's always there. And that includes ungrateful lawyers who didn't even try to help you the first time around, he supposes. At least Matt's right about one thing: he didn't want help then.

We're orbiting around an unknown planet.

[Which is as comforting as it sounds. He shouldn't be worrying about that right now though, and Daisy isn't ready to warn him about all the weird things that happen around here.]

But a lot of progress has been made in here. This place you're in right now? It was sealed shut until last week.

She looks at him in fond disbelief. Is that a thing? Kamala is making it a thing. This guy is just so intense and ridiculous to her. She thinks she likes him even if he just made her life a million times more complicated.

She nods in agreement with him because he's actually on the money with that. "I'm working on it. I didn't realize how much it shakes you to just lose your home and family suddenly. I mean I knew like the way you know stuff that's obvious, but yeah. Being here kind of messes with me. I don't always know my place in all this the way I did back home." She went from being a superhero and daughter to, well, not those things. It's hard to come back from that at any age. She's trying because the alternative is unthinkable to her. She never will be the person who easily gives into despair.

Elektra smiles mischievously in response. She outright laughs when he shoves her. That's more like it. "What? I hope you're not taking that the wrong way. I'm only looking out for your best interests." The fact she can't get through that statement without giggling makes it even more trustworthy.

There are few enough people on this station that Bobbie's come to at least recognize all of them in passing, even if she doesn't know them personally. This guy, crouched on the floor, is new, and clearly not having a very great time. Honestly, she's surprised she hasn't seen more people actively puking from the spin gravity on this rust bucket. She hopes that's what this is, at least.

She approaches, but doesn't crouch down next to him just yet. She's wearing an odd suit compared to most of the people he might have seen so far—it's skin tight and covered in small bits of armor embedded with some kind of circuitry.

"Hey. First time in space?"

The thing is: Frank expected this when Matt arrived. He expected all of this. And he doesn't need a goddamn apology, probably wouldn't accept it if he got one. He crouches down in front of the man but doesn't try to touch him again, even as he sees a speck of red appear on his jumpsuit.

"It's not gonna happen, okay? You're here so we're in this together now."

It's as simple as that for the Marine. He puts a hand on Matt's calf to see if he can take contact of any kind. He really doesn't want to have to carry him out of here, but he will.

"Just... take a breath, focus on my voice. Shut everything else out."

With the small amount of med kits we had found.

[And Steve Rogers playing nurse with her anytime she got injured.]

So this was a pretty big leap, even if I don’t really know what a lot of this stuff does.

[She had to imagine this was even more stressful for him, being in a completely new place and unable to see. Did he even have his stick with him? She remembers watching him zoom around the orphanage with that thing.

Without even really thinking about it, Daisy reaches out to put her hand gently on top of his.]


We’ll find a way out of here. Then you can go back to being New York’s best lawyer.

[If he’s still alive anyway.]

"It takes a little time, but you'll get used to it. It's worse the closer to the core of the station you get."

Now she crouches down, offering him her hand to help him up.

"Earther, yeah?"

Frank takes his hand away at the flinch, standing on his knees so he can watch over Matt and catch him if things get bad. He keeps murmuring nothings, Shhh, it's okay and the like until it seems like the other man is calming down. Finally, Matt speaks up and he could almost laugh. He won't, though, knowing the other man can probably sense the way his eyes have filled with water somehow. Freak.

"Yeah, me either, buddy. Let's get up?" he suggests, voice soft and impossibly gentle as he slowly moves to get up, hand on Matt's knee for a quarter of an instant and then a more solid touch as his hand settles on Matt's shoulder. "If you're ready, I'm right here."

With little else to do, Kovacs follows him to give the illusion that he was going to help. He'd probably just stare if Matt fell again but he hadn't walked away so that was progress, wasn't it?

"Yeah. It doesn't stick though," Kovacs tells him, thinking of Rogue and her death and subsequent resurrection. "Don't ask me how that fucking works. Don't know. But people die. They come back."

Except his sister. Godfuckingdammit. "I wouldn't recommend trying it though. Death still hurts."

"You think I'm that shallow?" Elektra teases as she curls up closer to him. It's not everything, but that is a good portion of her motivation. She can be honest with herself about that. "No, it'll be a learning experience for you. You'll have to play things smart since you can't rely on your armor to protect you."

Kamala feels a stab of guilt. He lost someone, didn't he? She should really learn to be more careful about what she says. She listens quietly to the rest of it. It actually is solid advice even if already knows some of it already. "That is suspiciously good advice. And specific." Kamala narrows her eyes at him. It may not be her denomination, but she knows those light references!!! "You're Christian, aren't you? They love talking about light."
