[New office, new beginnings. The whole package together. It feels like life has been set into motion. Tonight is most definitely another object thrown into their juggling act.]
Oh shut up.
[Sweetly, equally easy going. Matt comes closer to his brother. The food is alluring and they are both hungry now. His head is filled with possibilities.]
Yes, yes of course we would. But think of what we could do, Mike. Think of how we could reach people. That little girl had no one. This is bigger than just you and me. We grew up here. And there are more sirens than there ever were before.
[ They'll find a new place for Foggy's dinosaur collection and Matt's fancy tea. It'll be fine. ]
Make me. [ Another tease. ] Can you grab the whiskey glasses, and I'll grab the plates?
[ Which he does once they are both ready. Extra eggrolls for Matt and all. He heads to the couch and takes his favorite side, and sets the food down on the coffee table. Leaning back, he hums in thought, and nods. ]
We could help them. Help so much more than the cops ever get to, that they might never get to.
[ Be the kind of person that might've been able to save Jack Murdock. Which he doesn't say out loud, but they both know in their hearts. ]
[No neither of them are actually ready for a fight. Matt doesn't respond to the request verbally but he's going for the glasses and plates. The smell of the food and everything together is comforting.]
That's what I'm saying. If we can just get out there, be there at the right times. We could really make a difference. We're needed.
[If they could save one little girl, they could stop so many other problems. What if someone was out there that could have saved Jack Murdock? That's what's weighing on Matt's mind.]
I think the both of us need to train a lot more before we're ready to go out there in force.
[ As ever, the voice of reason. He's not trying to put down the idea, but he wants to make sure they're careful about it. They'll have to be in order to make it work. ]
I know what you're saying. I get it. We have to make sure we're ready for it though, or we're not helping the situations we walk into.
[He's waiting for the confirmation. Sure, Matt is the impulsive one. The one with rash ideas and grand schemes that don't always play out in the end. This has a touch of something bigger than what they are together. Maybe this is the whole reason why they started and never knew it.]
The way he can hear and just...assess situations at a moment, you know there wouldn't be very many possibilities that we are a hindrance.
[He reaches for his glass and carefully pours the whiskey. One for Mike. The other for himself.]
[ More than just remembering how to wrap the ropes.
Mike isn't surprised he's agreeing to this idea. They both innately want to help people. They wouldn't have left the firm otherwise. They can do more like this than he and Foggy could do in months of case files and paperwork. ]
We can try it. Work at it and figure out how to hone things. We go slow, like we did here.
[ No, case wouldn't be appropriate. These people are different from the work they do normally. Though Mike imagines there will be days where there will be overlap. ]
It means looking into the major players in the city as well. We don't want to go into something too big for us.
[ It was. They tried to do things the right way. The right way didn't work for a number of reasons. ]
Yeah, okay. That's a good plan. Not burn out too quickly. Give each of us time to recuperate.
[This new work would still be able the people they help, the people they save. That's the real purpose. Vengeance and all out violence itself, no. Though they must use what tools they have.]
[Careful, critical, this is part of what makes them so successful. The positive traits of Mike with Matt. Once the glasses clink he feels more at ease. They agree, clearly.]
More than a little crazy. You can't deny that this feels right though.
[Not with what they felt. That elation, the steady heartbeat of a young girl. Her worries are over for now.]
[They both are crazy. They have been. At least there is good company for them in one another. The check and balance of asking sometimes is important. Matt is the hothead. Mikey is the introspective one. That's their basic balance and what they've come to expect from themselves and one another.

[Matt almost says the word case but it does not feel appropriate in this context at all.]
Research, look from all angles before we leap.
[This time it was close to home in so many ways. Their actual apartment but looking out for an exploited child.]
Do you--you can be the one to go out next. If you want. I think that if we alternate, we'll stay on top of the other things.Not get so worn out.

Yes, well, again. We're gonna start small. Defensive.

It does. We can do some real good out there.
[ That little girl will rest for the first night in a long time. They helped that happen. ]
no subject
[He drinks down more of his drink before putting a hand on his brother's shoulders.]
Feels right. Is that crazy to say?
[Since they're accepting the degree of crazy to even propose such a thing.]
no subject
A little, but I don't disagree.
[ Said with a chuckle. Must be right then. ]
no subject
He smiles.]
We'll make it work.
