Matt grits his teeth and yanks his fist back, listening out for any warning signs. A dog, yes, but he doesn't seem like he's armed to the teeth the way Daredevil would have found him, swinging by a rooftop blocking his crosshairs off with a crotch shot before a boot comes flying at Frank's face.
He sits there sulking, seething, rubbing his knuckles as his eyes dart left and right. It doesn't take him long to remember. There's nothing quite like the sound of a skyscraper coming down on top of you. The feeling of her life slipping away a second time, because he's failed her again. All that dust in his lungs. The weight of the literal world on his battered body.
"Midland Circle." He purses his lips. "The Hand. Danny, Jessica. Luke." His tongue nervously flickers over his bottom lip. Every time he closes his eyes he can hear it. The sound of the collapse, like an oncoming freight train taking the love of his life away.
"Did they find her body?" His shoulders slump as he curls his fist into his jumpsuit. "Elektra." He can't even bury her because who knows if the Hand's gone for good or if they'll try something with her again.
