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.

The comment about hot air makes Matt laugh even though laughing seems to be making his vertigo worse.
"Sure. I suppose that's something I'm good for around here."
no subject
"Good. Then maybe I'll bring you along for propulsion power," he says dryly. "Wouldn't want to be stuck in space with Miller's chalky ass and no way to do anything but float. I'd kill him before the first day was out."
no subject
"How about I stop you two from killing each other?" That's kind of useful, right? Matt can be the voice of reason
when certain women aren't involved.no subject
He looked about as breakable as Miller did in his current condition. Kovacs is pretty sure that a stiff breeze would be enough to fell Matt enough that he wouldn't be able to get back to his fucking feet.
"I'm almost tempted to take you on this hypothetical fucking voyage just to see you try." He has no confidence in your skinny ass, Matt.

"Who's Miller? Did you know him before you came here?"
no subject
"Met him here. The only person I knew when I got here was me," Kovacs tells him, shrugging. "That's a good thing. I don't need anyone from my world showing up here."
Not after Rei.

“If you found Noah’s ark in the hangar, wouldn’t you want to save everybody?”

So, there you go, Matt, maybe he wasn't completely fucking heartless. He wasn't going to go out of his way to run through the ship and make people come along but he wasn't going to take something like that for himself and leave everyone behind.
That would just ensure someone find him and kill him and too many people know about his stack here for him to take that chance.
