[prosecutorial]

Free for all for superhero based fandom smashing. Make a top level with your hero of choice and someone else will smash into it. I figured this would be easy and fun to do until we figure out actual plot and then we can do that.

For now, shenanignans!

[makes sense, even if it doesn't thrill him]

Why have her kill her parents, though?

[neverthehero]

[She gives a small shrug.]

Because he wants to ruin people's lives? Make me suffer? Who knows.

[aworldonfire]

[Matt hums. a clearer motive would be nice, but -- whatever. it's ultimately unimportant, from a legal standpoint, right now and for any number of reasons]

Okay. [a beat] Do you have anything else you wanted to add? [and another] And would it be possible to talk to Miss Shlottman?

[neverthehero]

[She pauses before shaking her head.]

That's all I know for now. And yeah, you can try and talk to her. I've been trying to get Jeri Hogarth to take the case, but she's being a bitch about it and I'm officially out of patience.

[aworldonfire]

[he's heard stories about Hogarth, none of them good, and so he smiles tightly]

Well, now you don't have to worry about that.

[he'll take the case. and yes, he'd like to try and talk to Hope]

[neverthehero]

[She exhales slowly and nods. Maybe it's the fact that they took on Fisk, or maybe it's the fact that Matt believes her without her having to justify it, but she actually feels like Hope might stand a chance with this guy.

Hope is not a thing she's used to - neither the adjective, or the person.]

Thank you. I can meet you where they're holding her tomorrow?

[aworldonfire]

You're welcome. [a beat] And, uh -- what time?

[not that he won't clear his schedule for this, but he doesn't want to leave Jessica waiting all day, either]

[neverthehero]

I ... I don't know. I'll call the prison and make an appointment, and I'll let you know.

[aworldonfire]

[Matt nods, seemingly satisfied with that answer]

Sounds good.

[neverthehero]

[She nods in agreement, before she gets to her feet.]

Okay. Anything else you need from me?

[aworldonfire]

Nothing I can think of, right now. [a beat] But if you could leave your contact information with Miss Page on your way out, I'd appreciate it.

[neverthehero]

I'll do you one better.

[Because she doesn't really think that Karen wants to deal with her again. She pulls out her card from her jacket and places it into Matt's hand.]

My phone dies a lot so if you don't get me just leave a message. I'll get back to you eventually.

[Like when she remembers to charge her phone.]

[aworldonfire]

[he takes the card from her, thumb brushing over the printing on the front. when he's satisfied there, he taps it idly against the desk and nods] I'll keep that in mind. [a beat] Thank you.

[neverthehero]

Thank you.

[And she means that sincerely, but with that she'll head out, heading back to her office so that she can call the prison and hopefully get things moving in a positive direction.

And Matt ... probably needs to get yelled at by Foggy for agreeing to take this case in the first place.]
