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.

[She sure as hell didn't make it out of there okay, but she lies for his sake. Despite him being blind, Daisy still forces a smile.]

Thanks.

[Letting go of his hand after a few seconds, Daisy moves to stand.]

I'm going to get you some water. I'll be right back, okay?

"You're never done yelling at me," he points out, getting a hand around Matt's back so he doesn't fall backward as he gets them both to their feet. The last way he'd ever describe the man is indebted to him so it's fine. He feels strangely responsible for all of this, slowly letting up so Matt can stand on his own, but leaving his hand on the man's elbow loosely. He snorts at the question. "Yeah, it's called don't be a douchebag and maybe Frank will bring me a protein bar." He will even if Matt is being a dick, clearly.

She does know all of these things. Right now Elektra would say about anything to lighten the mood. She doesn't want to think about how she's been nursing a broken heart while he coped with her death. She doesn't want to ask what became of them when they were reunited, but one of them was an undead monster. What Elektra wants is to let him recover in peace and avoid reflecting on her part in all this. It can't be too much to ask, can it?

"Even I'm not that talented." She reminds him softly as her hand settles in against his side. "I'm alive, you know. You don't have to be afraid to rest. I'm not going anywhere." Until his babysitter comes back or Karen needs a moment with him or she needs to get him things. Right now she needs to reassure him. It's an innocent lie. She won't be that far away.

You’re apologizing for me wanting to help you?

[Come on, Matt. Daisy nudges the glass against his hand so he knew where it was, but she wasn’t letting go until he had a grip on it.]

What’s being a lawyer like?

Kamala has to do a double take. It cannot be stressed enough she's not particularly religious compared to like her brother or visible like Nakia, but compared to these guys? Her love for God was super obvious. She almost forgot some people didn't know that about her here. "What? No! I'm Muslim so don't expect me to ask you to stop talking about God. I'm cool with it."

Kamala claps her hands together. "Oh! I should tell you that Karen and Frank found a chapel! You can totally pray there whenever you want. All faiths are welcome. I should warn you it's kind of a hangout spot for like 90% of the other people who come there."

"Not here." But he knows a few people who have. "But, I've died a few times back where I came from. Pain in the ass. Still fucking hurts."

Thank goodness for new sleeves, right?

"The dying I did is different than the dying that happens here. You die here, you come back but you might be fucking blind."

Which wasn't going to really affect you, Matt, so congrats. "Don't ask me how it happens. Pretty sure it's just this fucking place puppeting us like toys."

It kind of earns Matt a funny look, not like he'd know the difference. He's moving him to stand by the replicator Frank likes best so he can take his hand again and show him the sequence for the protein bars. He probably should have known better, honestly. Again, he blames himself.

"I didn't really think it would make me a lotta friends here, you know." An easy joke like they're old pals, being some psycho murderer back home wasn't going to get him any trust with these people and he needed that to help them. It's what he's singularly focused on these days, that and supporting Karen so she can open up more of the station. The not-quite-an-apology catches him off-guard and he shrugs a shoulder, not sure how to respond. Matt wasn't going to tell anyone else, apparently. That meant his preempt to Alex was hasty, but their relationship hadn't suffered for it so maybe it was better he know the truth anyway. "I relive it every day anyway."

In other words: you're forgiven. He pushes a long puff of air from his nose in a noisy exhale before patting Matt's back once to tell him to stay put. Then he goes back to their table to clear their trays before rejoining him at the replicator, scooping bars into his pockets for the trip.

"Think you've had enough medbay for one day?" Matt would probably have to go back and soon if his injuries persisted, but he'd rather release him on his own recognizance than truly have to babysit him 24-7.

It takes her a second to register that he can't see, and then she feels a little silly. She blinks at the question, even further thrown off.

"Marvin? What are you talking about?"

Elektra sucks a deep breath in. He wounds her as always when he doesn't intend to. She can't leave him to his suffering. She reaches up with both hands to wipe his tears and hold his face in her hands despite his efforts to hide it. "No, you shouldn't have." She can say that after being driven out during their last meeting without regret. For better or worse, Elektra does blame him for judging her ruthlessness. It's not enough to keep her away forever though.

Her voice softens as she continues, "But, that doesn't mean I'll shut you out. Whatever happens in the future between us or in the past is irrelevant now if you wish it to be. You said we should start over. I think we should try for both our sakes. I'm tired of going around in circles with you, Matthew. Let's just live for once in our lives without everyone else getting in the way." Really just people like Stick.

You're not.

[Did he really think she would see him as a burden? Especially right now when he's pretty badly injured. Daisy takes the glass back from him once he's done sipping at the water, just so he doesn't lose his grip on it.]

So you're civil rights lawyer?

Kamala scratches her cheek. How to put it delicately some people are kind of rude about it? "Uh, I love that people come, but how do I put this? It's not easy to talk to God in Arabic when the person next to you is complaining about the food replicators." She shrugs. That's just the tea on that. "But, sure! I'd totally love to. Praying alone totally sucks."
