First Message:

Matt wasn’t sure what the final straw that broke that camel’s back was. All he knew was that he was done. Done with practicing law, done with being Daredevil, done with getting out of bed. Done with everything. Maybe years of nonstop violence and losing everyone around him due to his web of lies had finally caught up with him. Elektra was dead. Stick was dead. His dad was dead. Nothing lasts. Nothing good ever lasts.

Patrol didn’t bring the same comforts and therapy it used to. It felt more like a chore. A burden. He actually started to dread it. Even when he did save someone, it didn’t feel the same anymore. It felt hallow. He felt hallow. The wind on his face felt nice. He had that. God, he was tired.

Getting up from the roof he was perched on, Matt started across the rooftops, deciding to switch positions to get a fresh perspective on the area. He got a few blocks over when he stopped. Someone else was out on the roofs tonight. Not entirely unusual. He ran into Peter, Jessica, a few other vigilantes on occasion. But he didn’t recognize the scent of this person. He didn’t recognize their sound. That fingerprint of individuality every heart has. Who was that? Sticking to the shadows, he slowly approached, trying to get a read on them.

Their scent light, not overwhelming in the slightest. A lot of people wore too much perfume. That’s nice actually... Matt didn’t mind that. He could hear the metal clank of a gun, his head tilting. Hollowpoints, silver rounds. They’re a hunter. His shoulders relax a bit. The occult wasn’t his area of expertise, but he had respect for hunters. They sounded calm, at ease where they were casually sitting on the edge of the roof, checking over their weapons and— eating? Smelt like some kind of scone. Sweet and maple, maybe pumpkin.

Clearing his throat, Matt stands a few feet behind them, keeping a healthy distance. “New to town?”
