No, one of the Hand. You know, the organization that killed my parents and almost destroyed all New York. Okay that last part you might not have heard about because we actually stopped them.
[Glaring, yes. And Danny is actually surprised by her whole nonchalance about calling herself a monster.]
And I don't belong to any Hand. I have been an assassin with the League, I have been a vigilant as Canary. I've done enough terrible things without being accused of things I didn't do.
I came back wrong and though I got my soul back I'll never be quite right okay I don't need the reminder
No it really isn't easy. She gave up on a lot of things for me and no one had done that before, It means a lot to me. Did you know that we met in the park when Colleen gave me money because she thought I was homeless? Which...was technically true at the time. [But eh, details.] Do you remember how it was with your first girlfriend?
Heh. Perhaps all of our mistakes cancel each other.
I never would have guessed you met that way. But why were you homeless at the time?
[ He caught the news that Danny Rand had turned up alive in passing but it wasn't like the news announced the events leading up to that press meeting. ]
The first time I dated was back in high school. It didn't last very long since I was still living at an orphanage at the time and the nuns there weren't that keen on allowing us to bring dates back home with us. It actually might have been for the best that it didn't get very serious. She wouldn't stop making a big deal out of the blindness. It was awkward. But I definitely learned from the experience.
We can certainly try to make up for each others' weaknesses at least.
I was trying to be helpful! I thought you weren't eating because you couldn't see the pizza. On second thought, maybe that wasn't my wisest decision ever.
[Danny sure needs a decent older brother, Matt is happily welcomes to cover the position.]
I'll keep it in mind. Now I'm curious about your place. hopefully no neighbors' activities will be happening when I come by.
Okay. Just let me know if you change your mind. [Danny here is only trying to help but he will respect Matt's decisions and not be pushy. Progress at socializing!]
That sounds exhausting. We could go out, have pizza instead, talk about our mutual disregard for self care...Pizza is glorious, Matt, it makes everything better. I missed it so much.
It's a much kicker way to end problems, but they tend to resurface when you only use that method. Heh, Ward is...I can't say he's 'all bark and no bite' because he can be really mean, but his heart is in the right place. I knew him since we were little, he's like a big brother to me. The louder he complains, the more I know he cares.
[ Much appreciated, Luke. Ward can be a bit difficult, Danny knows that better than anybody. ]
Ahaaa, so you got it. I was worried that I was being too subtle. [ As if Danny could ever manage to do anything resembling 'subtle ]
Maybe I could have help with that. Then I would figure out things faster. [ Danny's sunny disposition is often more prominent around Luke, not like he has realized it just yet. He just really enjoys spending time with the other man. ]
It's fine, really. We're still friends, and she will always mean a lot to me. We both needed space and figure out some personal issues. It's better that way. [ Sure, it hurt at the time, but they're still part of each other lives, and they talk and help each other. Coleen still wants to be his friend and that's all Danny hoped for. ] You as well? Ah, I had no idea. Sorry as well, Luke. I'm surprised more people aren't throwing themselves at your feet on the regular, more so now that you rock a suit.
You seem very sure about that, Power Man. Did you seriously claim that your dick is more mighty than an immortal dragon? I can control my chi. Among other things, that gives me increased stamina. And I'm very flexible, I should show you just how much.
[ Luke's bluntness, while not unappreciated in the least, side-track Danny's train of thought for a few seconds. It's not like he planned to, but now he's thinking about Luke's cock, it's sort of inevitable. The following praise to his looks makes it worse and Danny can tell he's blushing by how hot his cheeks feel all of a sudden. Get a hold of yourself, man.
Rather than answering, Danny honest to god doesn't know how to put in words how the words made him feel, he takes a selfie of himself to send it to Luke. He's on a rooftop, wearing casual clothes that look nice enough to show he isn't patrolling but enjoying the sounds of New York at night. The city lights are enough to illuminate his face and the fond smile playing on his lips. ]
Dumb little smile, uhm? You might see more of it once I get there. And then you can tell me in person what do you want to use my mouth for.
[ He doesn't bring up the Team thing because he knows Luke has a point, that the others are too used to work alone or too worried to get people they care about in danger to be interested in being an official group. It won't stop Danny from trying to convince them from time to time, but this night is not the right one. He's got other plans in mind. ]
I'm wearing shoes! Not sneakers, for once, actual dress shoes and everything. [ That he will most likely take off the moment he enters a building, but eeeh. Details. ] I'll be there in no time.
[ He's already out and about, so that helps. Danny gets more than a few curious looks on the way and when he gets to the actual club, because as Luke pointed it out early, his white ass stands out like a sore thumb in Harlem's Paradise. But the bouncer lets him in and Danny figures that someone must have clued the staff that he's actually Luke's friend because they don't give him any trouble and point out to the second floor, where the man's office is located. Danny gives them a bright smile, a quick thanks, and practically walks up the stairs two steps at a time before knocking and sticking his head in. ]
If it isn't the King of Harlem himself...you look even dapper in person.
[ Ey, Danny wouldn't judge too hard. He goes out at night to stop crime and had more than one bloody encounter with different Chinatown gangs. Abandoning adorable puppies is almost as bad a drug trafficking, if you ask him. Danny is already in love with the puppy, leaning forward to play with the dog's front paws or to let him gnaw on his hand playfully. ]
We have a plan for the afternoon. [ He looks up to give Loki a sunny smile as well. He doesn't have a lot of friends, let alone ones that didn't mind Danny being a little childish, and he doesn't feel like he has to prove anything to Loki when they're together. He can just be. It's nice. ]
Thanks, Loki. [ The smile was still there but a little subdued, softer. ] For spending time with me. Not a lot of people would do that willingly.
[As all pups did, Sprinkles had those tiny little raptor teeth. But he also seemed charmingly gentle-mouthed with his playful chewing of offered fingers, tail windmilling so hard that his whole back end was swinging along.]
A good plan if you ask me. We'll come back and I'll make us stupid amounts of food and we can pick something new on Netflix to watch while Sprinkles naps and likely drools on you. [Loki was... touched. That soft gratitude just gentling his expression some as he shifted to plunk down beside Danny and the pup.]
If anyone should be thanking anyone here, it's me thanking you. [He couldn't help the sheepish huff at the admission.] With my reputation being what it is, that you're willing to... give me a chance let alone be friends well... it means quite a bit more than I can put to words.
I am more willing to accept your vision when I know you won't be performing it in public, I think that's the key difference too. But sobriety might have something to do with it. Ohhh it's to tell people to hurry up? I thought that was what the clapping hands were for 👏 Like 'chop chop, get going'
I already agreed to come over; you don't need to flatter me. [ You're making him blush, Kate. Probably a good thing she can't see it. And Danny believes 100% that she will talk to the dog. To be fair, he would do the same. ] Awww, poor Lucky, missing all that. I'll bring takeout for us to eat while we ruin our faces and a few dog toys for him. Sounds good?
[ He can't have a dog due to his lifestyle; please let him spoil Lucky rotten. ]
You totally giggle and I'll prove it to you. I'll have to record it for posterity. [ He grins after seeing the photos, both because they're silly and cute and because he really doesn't have a lot of pictures with friends. Or friends in general. ]
Wow, I think it really captures our essence and grace.
[ The last comments thought, they definitely get him blushing. Praise and compliments are not thing Danny is used to hearing. He doesn't know what to do with himself for a moment. ]
That's. I don't know what to say. Thank you, Kate. You're probably exaggerating, but it's nice. So, yeah, thanks.
You should! It's the truth. But what's contour? Should I be worried? I feel like I should be worried.
thanks for moving us! <3 also, sorry about the late tag!
Oh, c'mon, you need to loosen up. You're telling me you've never done something stupid in public? ... Danny, the clapping hands are for clapping. As in, after something great.
Hey, I'm not flattering you. If anything, I'm flattering myself and my incredible talent to surround myself with amazing people. [Even though she's messing around, this is actually a very true statement. Kate couldn't be more grateful about the amazing people she's met along the way, Danny definitely being part of that list.] Sounds like the perfect plan to me.
I'm so not a giggler! You'll have better luck taking a picture of Big Foot.
We're graceful, elegant. And so demure.
[She instantly hearts his message after he thanks her.]
Hey, don't sweat it. And I'm honest. You're a super sweet guy, fun to hang with, you tell super interesting stories and you're basically a model. So, you know, whole package right there.
I'm sorry.., and I also get it. Separating the mask from the man does not work in the long run; it's too much of who we are. Just sides of our identity, rather than two different ones.
I'm sure you'll one day find the right partner, though. You're a great person, Matt.
Unfortunately, so we have to live with the damn wasps on top of the spiders. Can I also call you if one of those ever shows up at my place?
Just checking. I know it looks a bit strange when I eat too much and I just don't seem to get any fat in me.
Mild Born Again bits. I'm avoiding the big stuff until I know otherwise and handwaving lots.
I've tried to stop. I keep thinking I can cut that part of my life out but it doesn't actually end up working out for me. That's probably where I'm going wrong but I have that firm belief that I need to keep all those aspects separate for the protection of the people in my life. Not that I've done a great job.
I'm not sure I'm up for the challenge of wasps. The chemicals that are used to kill them smell horrible.
I mean, I can understand why you don't now knowing about the whole chi thing at least a little bit. I'm just jealous that I have to work at it. Getting older is a bitch.
