With bombs and the devil, and the kids keep comin'

[guardiandevil]

WHO: Matt Murdock & You!
WHERE: NOHoPE
WHEN: December 27th-31st during visiting hours.
WARNINGS: Insanity?
SUMMARY: Matt's been locked up and is awaiting his trial. He's able to take visitors.
FORMAT: Your choice.

[He doesn't actually feel up to taking visitors yet, but who is he to argue with the professionals? He's surrendered, he deserved whatever torture they dished out, including uncomfortable conversations with his former friends. It wasn't like they'd understand anyways. They hadn't been through what he had. They hadn't touched true power, had the ability to to fix the world right in their palms, had such divinity slip away.

If they had, they'd probably be called crazy, too.]

Comments

[gevurah]

Do you even hear yourself? [ She frowns, although the concern is hard to mask in her voice as angry as she is. ]

You know the answer to that.

[guardiandevil]

Stop making excuses. [He sits forward, teeth clenching slighting.] You've had months to find him. Why isn't he here?

[gevurah]

I don't know where he is. [ It's driving her crazy. Dent's gotten a lot smarter about laying low, keeping his whereabouts near impossible to trace. ]

[guardiandevil]

[Flatly:] What kind of backwards world is this.

[gevurah]

[ Her patience has run out. She stands abruptly, the chair scratching against the floor as it slides back from the sudden movement. ]

Maybe if you hadn't been recruiting kids, you could have found him yourself.

[ She turns sharply on her heel and starts to walk away. ]

I'm done with this. It's over, Matt.

[guardiandevil]

[He doesn't react, not outwardly. This isn't the time or place. Maybe when he's alone, in the privacy of his own room. Maybe then.]

You're wrong, Kate. This isn't ever going to be over.

[gevurah]

[ She tries to block out his voice and fails, so she storms away as quickly as she can. She bites her lip to refrain from saying anything in return. It's hard. Her heart feels heavy and a lump snags itself in her throat.

She's not a failure. She's not screwing up with Nill. Kate knows what she's doing.

A less than certain part of herself begins to question that, however. ]
