[the second her hand is on him he's pulled a knife out of his cane. the one he has as an adult is a little more exciting than the one he's used to, but he'd already figured out all the weapons in it well before she got here. he's got the knife up to her neck as she closes her hand around him but he doesn't try and cut her.

Let go.
[he's not kidding he really will stab her]

[ Jesus christ, no spider-sense could save her from this, apparently. It figures of course, it never works when she needs it to and only seems to scream at her when she's already neck-deep in trouble.
Man, but who'd've thought mini Murdock would pull a knife on her? ]
Yikes, okay, okay... [ She pulls her hand away and raises both of hers in surrender. This is embarrassing, being held at knifepoint by a kid... ]
Man, you weren't kidding around when you said you went to ninja school. How are you even doing this right now, aren't you blind?

[well if she'd been from one issue later she'd know matt pulled a sword on poor miles so you know
after she lets go, he stands, backing away from her a few paces to regain his personal space. at least he's got the upperhand here.]
I thought you said you know me.

[ Alas, the power of continuity. ]
I said we worked together. It's not like we're friends.
[ Gwen crosses her arms. They are definitely not friends. ]

[he's not an idiot - if his older self hadn't told her about his powers there was obviously some weird angle here but he really does feel like they can't be very good at working together if she doesn't even know his greatest strength
so he does the conversational equivalent of ✓ seen at and says]
Okay.

Okay.
[ Talking to this baby Murdock may actually be more annoying than talking to his adult self. Then again, neither of them will give her any information ever, so it's more of the usual.
She sighs. ]
Look, I'm not gonna stop you from exploring or whatever. You probably wanna go out and have a look around. [ "look" around? How is he doing any of this?? Who knows. ] I'm just gonna tail you to make sure you don't get into any trouble, okay? If you wanna blame someone, you're gonna have to blame future-you.

Whatever. You're not going to be able to keep up with me.
[ok he's going back out the window again dont try and stop him]
[ok he's going back out the window again dont try and stop him]
Watch me!
[ Fine!! She will follow him like an annoying, very un-stealth ninja. (Who are we kidding, he can probably loser her quite easily......) ]

Where are you?
[not having his senses means he can't just creepily tell where gwen is in the city it's a drag]
[not having his senses means he can't just creepily tell where gwen is in the city it's a drag]
[ meanwhile gwen can tell exactly where murdock is, but it's awful. everything is awful. ]
Uhh. My place?
[ She has indeed not left her room yet, and has only succeeded in eating breakfast and getting changed. ]
I woke up with a killer headache.

[yeah he feels so sorry for you.]
Great, I'm coming over.
[that's it, that's all the warning she gets before he and heaven's door make their way over. he's getting slightly more used to the sensory input from the Stand, although it's still weird to be perceiving things from a spot next to him rather than centered on him.
i mean, it's weird not having his own powers, in general. Heaven's Door has a much more limited scope. At least in terms of this.
anyways he knocks on the door and everything like a nice guy]

[ Gwen can sense Matt coming before he knocks. It's weird and uncomfortable and she can feel something weirdly at his shoulder? What the hell is that? ]
Yeah, coming...
[ She drags herself over to the door and holds it open for him. Seeing the Stand in person is only slightly weirder than sensing it before anything else, but she's still gonna stare. Holy crap. ]
What the heck is that?
Yeah, coming...

A new friend.
[dont mind if he lets himself in here]
[dont mind if he lets himself in here]
It's... kind of horrifying?
[ What even is it? Gwen's new powers seem to have identified it as not human but she's got no damn clue what it could be besides a monster....? ]
Was this what you wanted to show me?

You are always just so rude, you know that?
[it's fine he's got dope powers shes never going to see coming]
[it's fine he's got dope powers shes never going to see coming]
[ Gwen glowers. Yeah, she's rude, so what? It's not like Murdock deserves her being nice just because he has a sad backstory and all. ]
I'm kind of going through something right now, if you hadn't noticed.
[ Perceiving everything is awful and she hates it. Would not recommend. ]
Was that all you wanted to show me? Your "new friend"?

Are you? I hadn't.
[he doesn't have his powers, gwen, he can't just smell your anxiety today]
What's going on?
[see hes not rude he'll actually ask and lend a sympathetic ear!!]

[ Huh. She's so used to him just... knowing everything. How weird.
She crosses her arms. It's not like she has anyone else here. ]
I'm, like... listening to everything and seeing everything and it's super overwhelming and awful.

[for a moment, matt's about to ask if she's ended up with his powers, because from the beginning of what she says it's the start of a pretty decent description she mentions seeing and no dice.
so he laughs at her, because of course he does]
That must be so difficult, seeing everything.

[ Gwen frowns even harder. She's actually not doing so great, but Murdock's an asshole, she didn't expect any less. ]
Yeah, you and your buddy don't look so great, so don't act so smug.
Yeah, you and your buddy don't look so great, so don't act so smug.
[matt's laugh turns a little different, a little more villainous for a moment but then he stops laughing entirely.]
Oh, Gwennie, you have no idea.
Oh, Gwennie, you have no idea.
[ Gwen shivers. She can practically feel your villainous intent, bucko. Enough that she doesn't get on his case for the Gwennie thing. ]
Okay, I get it, you're up to something. Are you here to tell me, or just gloat?

[ Gwen sighs. Murdock, you're not cool!! Especially with that weird thing looming over you... okay, maybe you're a little (a lot) creepier. ]
Are you gonna tell me or not? Cause you didn't have to come this far if you were just gonna put me on a wild goose chase or gimme some weird villain riddle.
