"A lot of attorneys do," he replies with a tight-lipped smile. It's one thing to corner a witness into saying what you want the jury to hear, but Matt's not the only one who spends a lot of time pacing around fluffing up his opening and closing statements with emotionally-charged poetry.

Frank probably deserves one or two of those punches. It's on the tip of his tongue, but Matt doesn't say as much. Matt honestly thought Frank would have been more upfront about who he was. At least made some kind of public statement if not a public display as The Punisher to make sure that everyone falls in line around here. If he'd known Frank was possibly on the mend? And had said next to nothing at all about his past, Matt wouldn't have spoken so honestly.

Frank didn't seem like the type to just hang up the mantle especially if he knew young neighbours were getting hurt. Matt didn't think he had the same outside pressures to 'retire'. But what does Red know, anyway? They're not exactly close. Maybe being out in space without an arsenal at his disposal is doing a number on him.

"Punching Frank is... probably not how we want to solve problems." Even though at some stage Matt's probably going to punch Frank too. Hopefully not in front of her. And hopefully she will be able to forgive him for it.
