Just testing out how much it takes for this sense of yours to kick in.

[ Matt laughs. He'd be able to tell if he's hurting Peter, so he knows he can go a little harder on him than he would if he didn't have his superpowers, too. It's a lot. Matt knows so much all the time.

Which is why he's able to dodge Peter's kick, even if he's bouncing off the walls in ways that don't make sense. Matt doesn't even need to face Peter, he just moves like he's got eyes on the back of his head -- because he's sensing in every direction, all the time. ]

I can still sense you on the ceiling, you know. I don't even have to crane my neck.

(he can't complain about it, he was the one who started with the unwarranted testing of murdock's abilities, so he lands with a laugh, because that checks, actually? a punch, though, attempting to go right for matt's face.)

Come on, you didn't even think 'what the hell' for, like a second? Wow, they really do make lawyers differently!

[ Matt intercepts Peter's fist, grabbing it in his open palm. ]

It is a little weird. But I've fought ninjas before.

[ He just. Says that? He just says that. Like it's nbd. ]

You're telegraphing your punches, Peter. You've gotta pull them in tighter, or you'll leave yourself wide open.

[spidermenaces]

Wait-- seriously? When? How??? Hey, teach me later, show me how in like, five minutes, and rewind on the ninja thing you got going on, Mr. Murdock.

(NINJAS???? IN NEW YORK??????)

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt laughs. And laughs.

And laughs. And proceeds to continue with the explanation. ]

You gotta hold your arms tighter to yourself. Instead of punching wide, try to keep 'em close to your chest.

[spidermenaces]

(that laughter is actually contagious, because he finds himself laughing, too... until matt speaks again, and peter is quick to protest.)

Nope, no no no, you're not misdirecting me here, I gotta know this ninja thing, Mr. Murdock! How did I not know that??

[devilsavocado]

[ He finds this all very amusing. ]

About there being ninjas in New York? Yeah, they don't exactly put up ads in Times Square.

[ So not helpful, Matt!! ]

They're part of a cult. I beat their leader, so I think they went back to Japan, but I can't imagine they'll stay gone for long.

[spidermenaces]

... Mister Murdock, what is your life.

(says peter parker, high school loser, stem prodigy, sorta-son of tony stark, spiderman, but also ?????? BRO????????????)

[devilsavocado]

[ Matt chuckles, tossing his head back. It's nice to get some perspective every now and then. ]

Yeah, it's kind of a mess.

[ To put it lightly....... ]

[spidermenaces]

Really sounds like it. Should I be concerned?

(yes. actually. yes.)

[devilsavocado]

Nah, it's fine. I'm used to it. And I think the ninjas won't be back for a while, anyway.

[ He hates his life sometimes!! But Peter doesn't need to know that. ]

[spidermenaces]

Dude. You gotta call me. It's ninjas, that's freaking awesome--ly bad, that's horrible, no one would blame you for needing back-up, right?

(MATT THERE ARE NINJAS.......)

[devilsavocado]

They're a lot more dangerous than they sound. They're not fun.

[ They're a little fun... ]

Have you ever heard of The Hand?

[spidermenaces]

I said awesomely bad! To be awesome at being bad, oof, you have to be super evil, right?

( nice... save?)

No, never in life. Sounds like a cult.
