I'm flattered.

[youretheworst]

[ This face. ]

Are we sure this place isn't hell? 'Cause I've had nightmares that aren't as bad as being stuck here with you.

[notthekingpin]

Better the devil you know than the one you don't.

[youretheworst]

[ Gwen grumbles. ]

You seriously enjoy devil puns way too much, dude.

[ Were the business cards not enough? ]

[notthekingpin]

[don't provide the opportunity if you don't want the line]

I think it provides the correct sentiment.

[youretheworst]

That you're the actual devil?

[ Dude enjoys those lines a little more than normal, for real. ]

[notthekingpin]

The fact that you even ask that question brings me great pleasure.

[youretheworst]

It's because you are.

And a total weirdo, by the way. Normal people don't just say they're the devil.

[notthekingpin]

Normal people also don't say they're a spider-woman.

[youretheworst]

Duh, that's why I don't tell people.

And it's totally not the same thing.

[notthekingpin]

It's a little bit the same thing.

[youretheworst]

So you hide behind your devil persona to protect your family and friends and give bad guys a name to yell when they're going on a villain rant?

[notthekingpin]

[matt seems to consider this for a moment, and then laughs]

Do you know, Howard the Duck [pause for dramatic effect yeah THINK ABOUT IT] said he has a person in his world exactly like that. Daredevil.

[youretheworst]

Howard... the Duck?

[ Like...... Like the President? ]

So you're saying there's a world... where the president's a duck. And you're some kind of superhero?

[ .......why......... ]

[notthekingpin]

And, they have a spider-man.

[savor this moment gwen, this moment where you know so many more things about spiders than he does]

[youretheworst]

[ Yeah, Gwen can't even fake surprise there. ]

Oh, I knew that. There's like... tons of Spider-Men. It's like 5 different people. And there's clones.

[notthekingpin]

[oh....

this feels weird]

Huh.

[youretheworst]

Huh. Guess there's still stuff about me you don't know, Murdock.

[ She grins. She is so smug right now. ]

[notthekingpin]

Look at you [ha ha], an adult with her own secrets and everything.

[youretheworst]

[ She crosses her arms again, pouting. How do you manage to always take the wind out of her sails, Murdock. ]

Yeah, believe it or not. I've had a ton of adventures no one else knows about.

[ #SpiderVerse ]

[notthekingpin]

I believe you have adventures.

[they covered this already!!]

[youretheworst]

[ Look, it's hard to tell when Murdock is being sarcastic when everything he says sounds awful. ]

Then quit treating me like such a kid.

[notthekingpin]

[she's lucky he likes her. there's a lot he could say to that, but he refrains]

Sure. Whatever you want.

[youretheworst]

[ And yet, Gwen has no idea how lucky she is. She just pouts and stares back down at the dumb Valentine he got her. ]

...Did you seriously draw this?

[notthekingpin]

[too bad she ruined it with her dumb pen]

Yes. Who else?
