He really doesn’t have much of a choice anymore. Being watched over is
just something that he’ll have to grow accustomed to. Neither she nor
Foggy want to live a life without him in it. Foggy does his best during
the day, during the hours when they’re Nelson and Murdock and willing to
fight on behalf of the people who’d never otherwise get representation in
court. At night, it’s her turn. The suit can’t do everything. And if
Katniss can help it, they won’t have need for hospitals or Claire. Especially
the latter. Katniss can’t help but feel a little uncomfortable around the
nurse. Especially given that Claire does tend to make it a little obvious
how much she disapproves of some of Matt’s choices. And by extension,
Katniss’.
There’s plenty of room in Katniss’ life for regrets. So much room. But
she’s doing her best to learn from those mistakes rather than be rueful. It
isn’t easy but she’s doing her best. In some ways, dating an older man
helps with this learning process. She has someone to learn from instead of
someone to make more mistakes with. Her luck turned around when Daredevil
had rescued her. She hasn’t had any regrets. And she’d like to think that
it would take a lot to develop those kind of regrets now.
It would be easy to kill again. Very easy. But she knows how Matt feels
about killing. He can be extremely violent at times, near lethal, but he’s
not a killer. Not like she is. It’s out of respect for him and his ideals
that she ultimately chose not to kill that man. There had been another
option and, luckily, that option had been a success. It’s a decision that
seemed to pay off in more than one way. Katniss wants his approval. She
wants him to be proud of her. And even without the promise of a kiss, she
knows she succeeded in doing just that.
“Don’t think I won’t,” she promises, making certain that he can hear the
grin in her voice. As soon as they’re safe at home again, she’ll be
certain to remind him. How can she ever say no to a kiss? For now,
though, she’ll follow his lead. And marvel a bit at how gracefully he
moves across the rooftops as she does her best to keep up. “Lead the way. I’m
right behind you.”
