The Part That Killed Me The Most Was Somehow The "I Have A Guy" When Talking About Melvin

the part that killed me the most was somehow the "I have a guy" when talking about melvin

headcanon that matt murdock is, despite being the most outwardly unapproachable and standoffish vigilante, the most well-connected vigilante in new york. he's been there the longest and, though he tells every new vigilante he meets to "get the hell out of my city" he doesn't do it before inciting some small modicum of loyalty from the person. its mostly unintentional on his part---he's just one of those people, y'know? he draws others in even though he acts like he wants to be alone. he demands friendship while asking for distance. within five minutes of meeting spider-man, spider-man decided that DD was his mentor whether he knew it or not. frank owes him for like five separate jailbreaks. clint has been pulled out of so many dumpsters that at this point he's not sure dragging the devil out of hell would be enough repayment. the x-men love the dude because he's a weird combination of scott, logan and professor x (he's a good mentor, gruff and eerily perceptive). the defenders unofficially think of him as their leader, no matter what they say to anyone else. he met venom like a week ago and now venom is entirely willing to die for the "asshole with horns". the first time he met moon knight he saved the dude's ass, and then later jake repays that debt but really there's no count going because the entire MK system agrees that if their lawyer died it would be a fucking national emergency. he knows the avengers as well, to his own despair, and one word from their mysterious friend and they're ready to call an assemble because they, for some godsdamned reason, trust him.

Steve: we need backup. we're outnumbered. hawkeye, can you call in kate?

matt: *punching an android in the face* kate's at band practice with spidey. just a moment, ill get frank on the line. steve: *falters* frank . . . who? matt: *non-chalantly* castle. obviously. natasha: like, the man who has tried to kill you multiple times? matt: *waves it off* that's only on thursdays. we have a truse on sundays. besides, he owes me for that most recent jailbreak. steve: what the fuck

jake: *fighting hydra* this shit is way above my paygrade. this is an avengers mess. let them clean this up. matt: hang on, i think i can get tony on the phone. jake: jake: you call iron man, tony stark, one of the richest men in the world, TONY? matt: he's actually a nice dude. i think he'd assume i were sick if i called him mister stark. jake: what the fuck is your life matt: *on the phone* hey dude-

spider-man: *holds up thor's hammer* isn't mister thor off world? how did this get here? matt: idk. hold it for me, i'll let thor know he lost the fucking thing. spider-man: how? what, you have a norse god on speed dial? matt: yeah? spider-man: *chokes and drops the hammer on his foot*

natasha: damn. my suit got ripped. it'll take hours to get it fixed. matt: *thinking of how melvin was sad there was nothing to repair with the DD suit last time he visited* i have a guy
