I'm sorry that I've scared you. That wasn't my intent.

i mean. it totally was his intent but. you know.]

Like The Vulture?
[ Because he kinda. Wasn't so nice to him, was he. ]

[ WHAT
WHAT THE FUCK
THE FUCK IS THIS??
THE FUCK IS YOU, MATT MURDOCK?? ]

...Say what now?
[ Did Matt Murderdock just fucking apologize to her, and it sounded honest? ]

[its such a good thing matt doesnt use video]
Ah, yes, Toomes. He wasn't always such a good friend, but I like to think we overcame our differences. Strengthened our friendship.

Look, I'd...
[his voice wavers, a little bit. guilt is a heavy thing. a horrible thing. it's powerful and strong and ever present. and god, but he has so much to atone for.]
I'd like to make it up to you. I only have a few of your power ups - but I'd like to give them back.

Uh-huh.
[ Becoming friends with Murderdock sounds fucking awful nothnx!!!! ]
Do you treat all your friends like that, or am I some kind of special case?

Different people call for different friendships, obviously. And our friendship is nothing like the one I have with Toomes. I'd like to think we have something special.

Okay, okay, slow your roll for like one second, Murderdock.
[ If that is your real nickname. ]
Who are you, and what have you done with the real Matt Murdock? Because I may only know the jerkface act that he keeps up like, 24/7 but I don't think I've even heard you even apologize for telling a bad joke, never mind talking about "making it up to me" or whatever this is.
Is this a trick? Or like some kind of weird ninja test? Because I know you're old but getting punk'd is so ten years ago!

[ SHUDDERING. WHY, OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN HER WORLD, DID SHE GET STUCK WITH THIS GUY ]
You are so creepy, you know that?

It's not a test.
[he takes a deep breath, trying to center himself against the wave of words that he just got from her. he has to try and be calm and reassuring. that'll definitely help.]
I've just been thinking, about a lot of things. About the way I've acted in the past.

That's very harsh. But I can understand why you feel that way.
[ This is so weird. This is the weirdest conversation she's ever had with him, and she's literally had a conversation where she called bullshit on his tragic backstory for him being a ginger ninja. Christ.
Gwen's not even remotely convinced this isn't some weird kind of trick. But somehow she figured he'd sound less genuine than this? He'd soak it up, wouldn't he? ]
And you're... just now realizing that you're a jerk? Is that what you're saying?
[ This is surreal, I tell u what. ]

Well, you're like what, forty? And you're saying we have something special. It's creepy, dude.
...Yes, essentially.
[i mean, it's not like it makes it any easier to be told it like that. but she's right - he has been a jerk. to her, especially. and that's, honestly, just like the tip of the iceburg]

I'm not forty.
[um thats very rude!! to assume!! hes not that old]
[um thats very rude!! to assume!! hes not that old]
[ She's not totally convinced and it shows, but she'll go along with it. For now. This is still very, very strange. ]
Did you... grow a conscience?
Did you... grow a conscience?
So what, you're..... thirty five? It's not like I can tell with you wearing glasses all the time. You could have crows' feet for all I know.
[ What a rude child, Gwen. ]
[ What a rude child, Gwen. ]
Is that possible?
[he's not sure he knows how to explain it either. maybe he does - but that seems existentially problematic. it's not that he wants to lie to her about the whole mirror thing, it's more that...he doesn't want it to be true. that this is only part of what Dil contacted them about. that he's not real, otherwise.
maybe it's not a lie. or if it is, maybe a lie to prove you exist, to prove you're real, is worth something. besides, in that case, you're lying to yourself more than you're lying to anyone else.]

Honestly, it only makes people more uncomfortable when I take them off.
[real talk]
[real talk]
I mean, maybe it's the city doing something weird. Like the jukeboxes...?
[ Growing a conscience seems a little more hardcore than playing music that speaks to their souls and tragic backstories. But then that's assuming what he's saying is true, which is a little hard to believe, even for how honest Matt sounds right now. ]
So let me get this straight. You had a weird change of heart, and now you wanna give me more power ups because... you're sorry? That's it?

Hm. Maybe. This city seems capable of quite a lot.
[that's more or less the truth, anyway. the city doing magic. a good, blanket answer.]
But yes. As a gesture of goodwill.

It's probably not even that creepy. You're not like, missing your eyes or anything, right?
[ Right? No way..... ]
[ Right? No way..... ]
This is super sketchy, you know that? Just because we work together and you... have this weird thing about being my friend doesn't mean I trust you.
[ Much less when you're being this strange, tbh. But that goes without saying. ]

[matt laughs but only because that's the better option than getting angry because jesus christ woman you are so insensitive]
Hm, you know, it seems to be some kind of visual issue, I can't say I know for sure what the problem is for sighted people. Must be so hard for them, though.
