    Summary

    His thumbs found the ridge of the brow bones — pronounced, heavier than average, the architecture of a face built for bluntness. He moved carefully along the brow line, feeling the place on the left where something had struck in the recent past, a bruise barely formed, the skin faintly tender. He found the narrow scar above the left eyebrow — old, thin as a thread, almost unnoticeable, the raised seam of something that had been deep once and handled badly.
    He traced it without thinking.

    "That one's old," Dex said.

    "I know."

     

    /////////////////

    Dex breaks into Matt's apartment, Matt begrudgingly helps him. I tried to stay pretty in character for this, however not totally sure I succeeded lol. Also I have no idea if this is a good summary, either! :’^D
    (Changed Title to “Man of War” Radiohead reference lol, I feel like the song is more fitting for the dex pov of their dynamic in a strange way…)

    Summary

    “You caught me. I consulted my priest, and he advised me that Jesus needed a new advocate for the downtrodden and poor after all the good work JFK did for putting Catholics into the public consciousness in the ‘60s. So here I am, saving Hell’s Kitchen one Cy Young winner at a time.”

     

    Or: In another life, Dex never stopped playing baseball, and applied his talents to other disciplines rather than sniping people with paperclips from 100 feet away. Somehow, he ends up arrested and finds himself held in a police interrogation room asking a certain legal team to represent him anyways.

    Summary

    "The rules were stupidly simple: any shit is shared between the two of them. A step out of line from one of them-and the punitive machine rolled over both."

    Locked in a maximum-security prison, Matt Murdock and Benjamin Poindexter are forced into a brutal protocol designed to keep them in check. But the sweltering heat, the constant violence, and Dex's relentless provocations push Matt dangerously close to the edge. And Dex is doing everything in his power to ensure the Devil finally breaks.
