“Only for emergencies” - Frank
You have kept this note with you for a long time. After everything that happened last year you weren’t sure if you would ever need it again. Everything has spiraled out of control now. You need some guidance. Your bag is packed and you are near The Punishers last location. You dial the number.
Ring… Ring… Ring… “Kid?” You smile at Franks voice. It almost brings tears to his eyes. “Hey Frank…” You say slowly. You felt like this wasn’t even happening. But the past 48 hours have been nothing but hell. So you hope to god that this is real. “What’s going on kid?” He asks concerned. You haven’t contacted him in a little over a year thanks to Matthew.
“Matthews dead and I need to leave Hells Kitchen…”
Summary - (Y/N) Is a Matt Murdocks 14 year old daughter who is just entering high school and is really struggling. She doesn’t have a regular life having a blind father. He can’t help with homework, Can’t give her a have a ride to school, He can’t see how often her face falls when she lies to him. Of course she has her Uncle Foggy and Aunt Karen but (Y/N) feels like to much of a burden until the one and only Frank Castle comes into her life and seems to be more of a father figure then her own father.
You haven’t left your room in quite some time now. Most of the time you wait for your father to leave for work before doing anything. Occasionally he would come to check on you but it seemed like you were dead to the world.
Foggy would come visit and sit with you and read. That was something he use to do when you were younger. Karen would visit and give you updates on how Frank is doing and that he wonders about you. You would nod and respond to her more then anybody else. You are currently laying in bed ear buds in and eyes closed. You feel the vibrations of your door opening but don’t move. There is a comforting hand rubbing your back. You undo your ear buds and turn around. “Hey Auntie…” You mumble. “Hey Honey… It is time to get ready.” She says in a soft tone with a smile on her face. “Get ready for what?” You ask looking up at her. “We are going to go out and have a little girls day. I think it will be fun.” She says rubbing your shoulder. “I am not taking ‘No’ for an answer. You have been here for a long time and I know you are missing assignments for your online classes.” You let out a huff. “I have been working on them… Just when no one is around.” Karen smiles and nods. “You get a nice outfit and take a good shower and we will head out okay?” She asks and you nod. You get up and look in the mirror seeing your greasy hair and pajamas you haven’t changed out of since that night. Karen walks out to let you get ready. You put your phone on the charger then grab your clothes.
After a good thirty minute shower you come out dressed in a comfortable outfit. “You ready sweetie?” Karen asks and you nod holding your phone close to you. “So I was thinking we could go out for lunch and maybe catch a movie then head back to my apartment.” You give a small smile. “You can spend the night. I talked to Matt and he said it is okay. Only if you want to.” “I want to.” You say as you both exit the apartment. “You still have clothes from the last time you were over so don’t worry about it.” You link arms with Karen as you both travel to her car. Getting in the passenger seat you turn on the radio. “So where do you want to go first? Movie or Lunch?” You pause and say “How about lunch. I don’t really want to go to a movie… If that is okay with you.” You say looking out the window. “Of course honey we can watch a movie at my place.” Karen frowns slightly starting the car. "So where do you want to go for lunch?“ Karen asks and you shrug. Karen sighs and continues to drive. "Would you like to cook instead? We can go to the store and grab something.” She says and you just nod. Karen begins their journey to the store and continues to glance over at you. You can feel her stare and it was annoying but you wouldn’t tell her that. “So how have your online classes been hun?” She asks and you shrug and mumble a small “fine.” Karen pulls up to the grocery store and sighs. “Honey I want to help but I can’t if you won’t talk to me.” She says and you groan. “I don’t want to talk about it Karen. Please just drop it.” You say exiting the car and starting toward the store. Karen was shocked by your response. You have never been snappy with her so whatever happened between seeing you last and now must be very upsetting. She decides to drop the subject and get inside to find you.
Gathering food seemed to be a bit of a hassle since you didn’t have any appetite. You felt like you were in a daze for a long time and suddenly you were in the car again heading to Karen’s apartment. “I’m sorry…” You mumble and Karen looks over. “For what hon?” She asks and you sigh. “I snapped at you. I didn’t mean to it’s just everything is so stressful…” Karen nods. “There is no need to apologize. We all have those days.” Karen gives a small smile as she pulls up to her apartment building. “Come on. We have ice cream that can’t go to waste!” you nod and give a small smile getting out of the car. You help collect the groceries and make the journey up the stairs and to the apartment. Karen fumbles getting the door open and giggles. “Don’t judge me. My hands are full.” You smile some more as the door opens and you both stumble inside. You walk into the small kitchen area and set the groceries down. “Now we have a whole lot of ingredients so what do you want to make?” Karen asks as you are unpacking the groceries. “Can we make (Y/F/F)?” You ask and Karen nods. “Of course! Lets get this party started!” She says throwing the grocery bags into the recycling bin. Karen looks at you as you shuffle your feet. “Honey?” She asks and you look up at her. “Yeah Auntie?” You respond. “You know you can talk to me right?” You nod and go up and hug her. “Everything is just so hard…” You say burying your head into her shoulder. “I know sweetie… Everything will be okay…” You shake your head. “It won’t! I feel like my dad isn’t my dad anymore.” Karen leads you over to her couch. “What do you mean?” She asks looking at you. “It’s like… It’s like I don’t know him anymore… I feel like a burden most of the time.” “Honey you are in no way a burden. You are an absolute angel!” Karen exclaims but you shake your head. “He tells me that as well. He tells me I’m not but he does things that make it seem like I am.” You clench your fists. “He isn’t how I remember him but I get that people change. It is just hard to adjust… All I feel is anger towards him and I hate feeling that way…” You sigh. Karen nods along with what you are saying. “How about we not think of your dad and just have fun.” You nod and stand up heading to the kitchen.
It is later in the evening as you both are watching TV snacking on sweets and other junk foods after dinner. You both are laughing at some weird show when there is a crash from the bedroom. “What was that?” You whisper and Karen looks at you. “I don’t know…” She whispers back. Another crash resonates from there and Karen quickly stands up dragging you with her. She takes you to the hallway closet next to the bathroom. “Stay here okay?” She says opening the door. “What no!” You whisper. “I want to stay wi-” Karen shoves you in before shutting the door. “Call Frank or Matt okay?” She whispers through the door before speeding to her purse in the kitchen. All you hear is her scream and some crashing sound before there was silence. You quickly dial the first number in your contacts which happened to be your fathers. You hold the phone to your ear silently praying that Karen is okay. When he answers you quickly say. “Someone broke into Karen’s place and I don’t know what to do!” You whisper. “What? (Y/N) are you ok-” “I’m fine and I am hiding. I’m just scared dad… I need you. P-Please come here and see if Karen is okay!” You whimper. “Okay (Y/N) stay calm I am right here. I need to get dressed and I will head right over. Stay on the phone okay?” You nod and say a quiet 'Okay’ “I am coming for you okay? I will be there soon just stay quiet.” You nod as tears make there way down your cheek. “Is she going to be ok-” “(Y/N) I know you are scared okay? I know but you need to be quiet. We don’t know if anyone can hear you. I love you so much okay? Just stay quiet I am right here.” He says you sniffle and try to keep your sobs as small as possible. “I see her apartment okay? I am entering now.” He says and you can hear footsteps walking across the apartment when suddenly the door open. You let out a shriek and cover yourself when suddenly you are embraced. “Hey, hey, shh it’s okay I’m here now…” Matt says petting your hair. You look up at him and see that he is in his Daredevil outfit. You feel slightly intimidated.
“Now tell me what happened.” Matt says and you nod trying your best to calm down. T-There was a huge crash in her room and then she told me to hide!“ You say moving from his embrace and look around. You see that there were definite signs of a struggle. "Is she here?! Where is she!” You cry and Matt comes up behind you. “The Hand took her… That is the only possible explanation.” He says tilting his head and listening to the surroundings. “Then we need to go after her!” “ 'We’ are not doing anything! You are staying here!” Matt says. “I-I can’t stay! They could come back here! I am safer with you.” You say firmly. “No you aren’t I need to go after them but you are right. They could come back.” He says and paces for a few seconds. “Okay so here is what you are going to do.” You nod and walk closer to him. “You are going to go home. Straight. Home. No detours.” “Bu-” “You are going to stay out of sight, take alleyways and stay away from large crowds.” “But da-” “No buts!” Matt shouts. “This is to keep you safe. I know it might be a long walk but you have to do this for me.” You sigh and nod. “When you get home you are going to lock yourself in your room and barricade the door. You will call me once that is done.” You nod “Dad… I’m scared…” Matt walks up to you and hugs you again. “Look at me…” He says and you look up at him. “I promise everything will be okay. I will come back to you. Now you need to go.” He says letting you go and you nod. You go toward the door but he grabs your wrist. “No take the fire escape. We don’t know if there are people waiting for you outside that door.” He says and you nod. “I love you dad…” You say walking up to the window. “I love you too Sweetpea…” He says as you exit.
You have never felt this much fear in your life. You try your best being as quiet as possible and trying not to attract any attention. When you see your apartment building in the distance you make a mad dash to the fire escape leading into the living room. You rush to the kitchen and grab a knife before going to your room and slamming the door closed. You push your dresser against the door before climbing underneath your bed. You take in a few deep breaths before calling your dad. The phone rings for a few seconds before you hear a voice. a mutter of someone saying “goddammit there are to many to count.” As you are listening you hear what sounds like your dad and Elektra. “Wait, wait .Wait for one second. One second. So, what if What if from now on, if if we make it wherever you run, I run with you?” You hear your dad say and your eyes widen. “You’re not serious. You have a daughter Matthew.” Elektra says with some mix of annoyance and shock in her tone. “I’ve never been more serious. This, Elektra, this is a part of me that I need and you’re the only one who gets it.” Your eyes begin to tear up. 'Why is he saying this?’ You ask yourself as he continues to say “ Without this, I’m not alive. I’m not. Not really and I know that now, thanks to you.” Suddenly your fears of abandonment resurface. He just said not to long ago that he would come back to you. You have always assumed that you would be his first choice. Your his daughter for Christ’s sake. You place a hand over your mouth to keep quiet as you listen. “I don’t know what we are together, and if we have any chance in the future I don’t… But I do know that I’m free with you. Like with no one else.” You can hear from his tone that he is being genuine and you don’t know what hurts more. That he has with-held this from you or that what you actually thought was a nightmare is coming true. You space for a moment as you drown in thought when you are brought back by the sound of Elektra’s voice. “Uh, I say let’s go to London. Yeah? Madrid. Tunisia. There are sexy places to hide. "Hey, I’ve never been further north than 116th Street, so…” Matt says with a light tone. A tone he hasn’t had in a long time it seems. “Because you love New York and you love your daughter. You are really willing to give her up for me?” Elektra asks and there is a pause on Matts side.
That pause tells you enough and you hang up before letting out a sob. The fact that he had to think about tells you that you are not much of a priority. You have never felt so much pain before. You were sure you were having a heart attack. You look at your phone and go to another contact on your phone. “F-Frank…” You sob into the phone when he answers. “Kid? Kid what’s wrong. You know this is only for emerganc-” “Frank!” You sob again as you try to form coherent words but fail miserably. “Hey, hey, hey… Calm down for a second… What’s wrong?” Frank says in the best calming voice he can muster. “I-I-” You cut yourself off with a sob. “Okay kid listen. I am going to be at the sandwich shop in 12 minutes you meet me there and we can talk okay?” He asks and you let out a croaky 'Okay’ and he hangs up. You crawl out of your bed slowly holding the knife to your chest. You toss it aside as you push your dresser out of the way of the door. You go back to the window with the fire escape and crawl out. It is well into the night as you look up at the starless sky. You try your best to keep to yourself hiding your tears from on lookers. You make your way to the Alley way and do the usual routine of getting on the industrial garbage can and climbing up the ladder. As you get to the top you see that Frank isn’t there yet and sit against the ledge in front of the stools that were already present. You bring your knees to your chest and hide your face in them. You don’t know how much time has passed but you hear someone climbing up the ladder. You just sigh. You don’t have the energy to fight. If you die now you wouldn’t care. Neither would your da- Matthew. You look up to see Frank crouching next to you. You lurch forward and latch onto him. Frank grunts at the impact. “Hey… What’s going on?” You begin to speak but he stops you and pulls away from you. He places your hand on his chest and says. “Take some deep breaths with me okay?” He asks as he does deep breathing. You follow suit letting out small sobs in between.
“Now tell me what is going on…” Frank says concerned as he sits fully on the ground. “H-He is going to leave me! He promised he wouldn’t but he is!” You say in a whimper. “Who?” Frank asks. “My dad… He was talking to that woman you mentioned.” You say sniffling. “What did he say?” He asks and you take in a deep breath. “He was talking about running away with her. About going to London and other sexy places to hide. ” You say looking down. “The only time I was mentioned was by that woman and he would dismiss it completely!” “He… He wouldn’t say that…” Frank says seemingly trying to convince himself. You can feel the anger radiating off of him. “I heard him… Karen got kidnapped and he was going to go after the people that did it.” You say standing up and Frank follows suit. “He said to call him once I get home and I did. He must have accidently answered or something because I heard all of it.” “I… I’m sorry kid…” Frank says in a solemn tone. “He lied to me. He said that I was the best thing that happened to him and he lied!” You exclaim. “Now th-” “Don’t you dare say that, that isn’t true! He hesitated!” Your voice rising with anger. “When she asked if he would leave me here for her he didn’t say shit! He paused and that was enough of an answer!” You shout as tears start going down your face again. “Go and fucking leave. I don’t care anymore!” You shout and lean over the ledge. “Go and die you fucking asshole! You hear me! Go be with your college hooker and go DIE!” You shout at the top of your lungs. Frank yanks you away from the ledge and hugs you. He cradles your head to his chest muffling your cries. Your knees buckle and Frank follows you to the ground. Footsteps can be heard behind you both and Frank looks toward it. You look up and see Matthew and another sob rips from your chest. “D-Don’t make me go with him please!” You say hiding your face in his chest. “Kid yo-” “No! NO! I am not going back! He doesn’t want me!” “(Y/N) That’s not tr-” “Yes it is! I heard you on the phone… I mean nothing to you. You made that clear…” You sniffle. “Please let’s just go home and I can explain!” Matthew pleads but you shake your head. Frank shields you from him before speaking. “Is what she’s saying true Red?” He asks and Matthew pauses. “I didn’t mean i-” “I didn’t ask if you didn’t mean it I asked if it is true…” Frank says rubbing your back with soothing circles. “I said some things… But I didn’t mean it! (Y/N) I would never abandon you I-” You scream at the top of your lungs silencing him. “I don’t care what you have to say any more!” You shout and follow with a quiet. “I don’t care… It doesn’t matter to me anymore…"Matthew walks up to the pair of you and crouches. "What can I do to make this better?” Matthew asks. You take a few deep breaths before saying. “Nothing… You can never make this better. ” You say and remove yourself from Frank. “You have to live with that. You can’t do anything to make this go away and I hope it’s as painful for you as it is for me.” You walk toward the ladder. “See you later Frank…” You say climbing down and walking into the night.
Summary-(Y/N) Is a Matt Murdocks 14 year old daughter who is just entering high school and is really struggling. She doesn’t have a regular life having a blind father. He can’t help with homework, Can’t give her a have a ride to school, He can’t see how often her face falls when she lies to him. Of course she has her Uncle Foggy and Aunt Karen but (Y/N) feels like to much of a burden until the one and only Frank Castle comes into her life and seems to be more of a father figure then Matt ever has.
You decided to sneak out. You felt uncomfortable being in that apartment with the things you just witnessed. Now that you discovered that he -your father- has superhuman powers you wondered how far his hearing actually goes. What you also find surprising is that Frank could have killed your dad and you felt the urge to confront him about it but you weren’t sure if he knew his identity.
You make a right turn onto a familiar street of where the sandwich shop is situated. You turn into the neighboring alley and climb onto an industrial trash can before taking a leap and grabbing onto the ladder. the ladder falls and you begin to climb. As you reach the top of the building you see a figure on the far side looking out onto the street. You walk up to it and can now see Frank. He pulls up another stool that was left up there and places a sandwich on it. You pick up the sandwich and sit next to him. “How’d it go kid?” Frank asks taking a bite out of his own sandwich. “You knew I would come didn’t you…” You ask looking at the side of his face and he nods. “I just wanted to be sure.” He says looking up at the sky. “It didn’t go well…” Frank only grunts in response. “He was with some woman and they were practically naked on the couch.” Frank glances over at you and you continue. “I got upset because he has made no initiative to contact me.” You grip your sandwich tight. “And that bitch had the audacity to tell me to calm down.” Frank chuckles at your vulgar language. “He even sided with her and sent me to my room.” You unwrap your sandwich and take a bite. “He apologized after I told him how I felt. He came in there because he wanted to talk about my ‘attitude’ which I feel like I had a reason to feel that way.” Frank nods. “You do.” You nodded in response. “I still feel so alone though. My friends are gone… I feel like I only have you and Karen left… I feel expendable…” Frank sighs and wraps an arm around your shoulder. “No way in hell are you even close to expendable. Your dad is shit for making you feel that way.” You nod and sigh leaning your head on his shoulder.
“Get away from her Frank…” Your fathers voice seems to have lowered anger evident in his voice. You move to look at him and see him in his Dare Devil attire. Frank removes his comforting arm and looks at him. “What do you want Red?” He asks turning back to the ledge he was looking over. “I am not going to let you hurt her…” You decide to stay where you are and stay silent. “I don’t hurt innocent people Red you know that.” Frank says in annoyance. “(Y/N) go home.” Daredevil says and Frank smirks. “So your the shitbag father I take it.” A growl rumbles in Matts chest. “Frank I didn’t say that…” You mumble looking down picking at the wrapper of your sandwich. Your dad takes a few steps toward you when Frank steps in front of you. “Move out of the way Frank.” Matt growls. “No. You were out of line and she deserves some space.” Frank says. “Yeah but that space isn’t suppose to be around you! How do you know her?” Matt says stepping closer his head tilted to the side slightly. “We met outside the church and then I saved her that following night.” Matt pauses and Frank takes that as a sign to continue. “Where was the great Daredevil then? They would have killed her that night if it weren’t for me!” Frank says raising his voice. “And what would you have done if you were there huh? You would mosey them down to the police station and when they are let out in a couple of years they would do it again!” Frank says. “But here’s a question. Would you have saved her in time?” “You know I wou-” “Then where were you that night?” This question stops Matt. His head turns in the direction of your heart beat. You look back at him and sigh before standing up and walking over to the two of them. “I will be home soon okay? I just want to finish my sandwich with Frank…” Matts shoulders drop and he sighs. “Get home safe…” And then he was gone.
You and Frank are now sitting at the ledge again. “So your dads a vigilante huh?” You nod. “Yeah… He just told me but whatever.” You say taking another bite of your sandwich. “So why are you here? I thought you had to 'Take out the trash.’ ” Frank chuckles. “I can have a little break once in a while.” You nod again. “I don’t think we will ever be the same after this.” You say referring to your father. Frank sighs. “And maybe it won’t be… But you need to learn to adapt. You can’t look at your father through a child like lens anymore.” You look at him willing him to continue. “People change and you aren’t five anymore so the image you have of your dad isn’t as magical as it use to be.” Frank looks down at his watch and sighs before reaching for his ammo back pulling out a box of donuts. “Happy Birthday kid…” He says opening the box. The donuts are in the shape of the number '15’ and you smile hugging him. “Thank you Frank!” You look at your phone to see that it is just past midnight. He sets it on the ledge and you both begin to eat. You both decide to sit in a comfortable silence. After the fourth or fifth donut Frank speaks up. “I think it is best we get you home.” You tense up as he says this. “Do you think he hates me?” You ask and Frank shakes his head. “No he doesn’t. You saw how worried he was when you were with me. I can tell that he loves you. You just need to see it.” He says standing up closing the donut box and picking up his ammo bag slinging it over his shoulder. He pats you on the shoulder and you quickly stand up grabbing both your sandwich and the box of donuts and follow him down the ladder.
You find yourself back on your home street and look back at Frank. “Thank you Frank.” You say with a small smile and he sighs placing a hand on your head before dragging you into a hug. “You are going to be alright kid.” You nod pulling away. “See you around Frank!” You say walking down the road seeing Frank disappear as you enter your apartment building. When you enter your home you see your dad sitting on the couch. You set the donuts and your half eaten sandwich down and stand by the counter not knowing what to do. “(Y/N) can you come here for a second?” He asks and you walk up to him sitting in a chair adjacent from the couch. “You know I love you right?” He asks and you pause for a moment before answering. “Yes, I know dad.” You say. “I would like to talk to you about Frank.” He says and you tense up. “What about him?” You ask looking out the window to your left. “I think it is best if you don’t talk to him anymore.” “What why!” You exclaim. “Because he is dangerous and you could get hurt! You have to understand that I am trying to protect you!” Matt says trying to keep his cool. “He has been the only one there for me this entire time! He saved me and I owe my life to him!” You say standing up as your voice begins to raise. “And how can you possibly protect me! Those guys that tried to kill me weren’t after Dare Devil they were after Matt Murdock the Lawyer!” Matt “looks” up at you. “He was the only one who didn’t treat me like glass aside from Karen after that. He has let me vent! He has helped me with homework! He has given me very good advice!” You yell. “You haven’t been present at all and yeah there are some good times but that is if and only if you need to apologize for something!” You have tears welling in your eyes as you begin to pace. “I am trying my best (Y/N).” Matt says. “Sometimes your best isn’t good enough dad! You leave me here feeling neglected! Like I am some kind of chore for you to raise!” Tears start to fall over your cheeks. “I miss my old dad! Before you started your own practice! Before the nannies! And sure as hell before all the vigilante bullshit!” You let out a sob. “And I’m sorry for everything… I don’t mean to disrespect you but this is just how I feel.” Matt stands up and makes his way toward you. “I feel like my only support system is Karen and Frank and I don’t want one of them to disappear…” Matt brings you in for a hug and you latch yourself on to him. He kisses the top of your head. He doesn’t say anything as he leads you toward your room and tucking you into bed. You hold out your hand and he grabs it sitting in a chair that is next to your bed. He continues to hold it until you fall asleep.

Matts breathing is heavy as he hears you head to your room. Elektra is silent but for some reason he can almost picture a smirk on her face. “She is a bit of a brat isn’t she.” Elektra says making Matt snap his head in her direction. “Don’t call her that!” He snaps and she shrugs and huffs. “Do you not remember what Stick said about this?” She asks and he hears her getting closer.
"About what?“ He asks raising a brow. "Soft things, distractions. She is one of those things. He told you to get rid of those types of things.” Elektra says placing her hands on his shoulders but he removes them. “She isn’t a distraction! She is my daughter.” He says suddenly more angry at her then at you. “She is Matt and you will understand that sooner or later.” She says stepping away from him. “We both know who you are Matthew you are more of a danger and she a hindrance.” Matt sucks in a breath. “Get. Out.” He snaps. “You are going to understand Matthew and you will see that Stick was right.” Elektra says collecting her clothes and getting dressed fully. “You will have to cho-” “Between her, Stick, or you it will always be her. She is my daughter and don’t think for a second that because we have history means anything.” He says walking over to her and grips her upper arm and dragging her to the door. “Now get out!” He shouts. Another huff is heard from Elektra but she leaves with the door shutting softly behind her. Matt lets out a shaky breath walking back into the living room and into the kitchen. He goes to the fridge and grabs one of his cheap beers. He sits on the couch drinking it slowly as he begins to think.
Mathew Murdock is now in your room talking to you after the events that took place and he has felt guilt before, but this was on a whole other level. Why didn’t he see that you were feeling this way? His heart shatters at every word you spew out and the fact that he yelled and sided with Elektra and didn’t consider how you would feel made him feel awful. He lays on the ground next to the bed. “Why didn’t you tell me you felt this way?” His ears are filled with your heart beat and heavy breathing. You were close to a panic attack, he was sure of it. “B-Because you were busy all the time. I didn’t want to be a burden. ” He hears you choking back a sob. “Sweetpea you have never been a burden on me… You didn’t take my college experience away. You made it a thousand times better. I have been given the greatest gift in the world and that is raising you.” He reaches under the bed laying a hand next to you in hopes you find comfort in it and hold it. “I haven’t been doing my job and I haven’t been a good father. Hurting you is the last thing I ever wanted to do. It was never on the list in the first place.” Matt can feel the tears welling in his eyes. “I am so happy you were born. You have given me strength and courage to do things that I have never done before.” He feels your hand slowly lay on his. “You are most definitely not the reason why your mother left… You are a beautiful young lady and I want you to know that I love you okay?” Your silence makes him doubt himself and a few tears slip past his eyes. “Sweetpea I need to show you something okay?” He gives a small tug on your hand. He is going to be honest with you about his biggest secret. He sits up and uses the bed to hoist himself to his feet. He walks to the bedroom door and waits for you to get out. He hears you shuffling from under the bed walking to his side.
He hears you follow him to the wardrobe and opens it. He takes the trunk from the bottom of it and sets it down. He gestures to it. “Open it…” He says with a slight quiver in his voice. ‘What if she looks at me different after this…’ His breath is caught in his throat as he hears you open it. 'This is another secret, what if she doesn’t trust me again.’ He hears the rustle of his old outfit. “You’re… You’re the 'Devil of Hells Kitchen?’” With more moving around he hears the sound of his helmet. “You’re Dare Devil?” He hears you ask in astonishment. He can only nod. “Who else knows?” He can hear an undertone to your voice but he can’t tell if it is hurt or anger. “Foggy knows Karen doesn’t.” Matt hears you sigh through your nose. You’re heart is beating faster. “Did you doing this have something to do with your loss of hearing?” You ask and Matt sucks in a breath before nodding. “Yes… I was fighting someone who hurts a lot of people.” “Who was it?” He hears you ask and he sighs. “He is known as the Punisher. He kills a lot of people and he isn’t a good guy.” Your heart beat increases immensely which makes him cock his head to the side. “Do you work with anyone?” He is surprised by this question but he thinks he knows what you are hinting at. “That woman who was here was helping me. We got attacked by a group called 'The Hand’ and we are trying to take them down.” He hopes you don’t ask any more questions about that group because he still doesn’t know anything for sure. “How are you able to do this?” You ask with a quiver in your voice. “I told you that I had an accident that caused me to go blind.” He pauses for a second then continues saying. “Well I got enhanced abilities. I can hear really well.” He hears you pause then stand up. “Why did you never tell me?” He can hear the hurt in your voice so he reaches out to you. “It was to keep you safe (Y/N)… I couldn’t bare the thought of something happening to you.” Matt says and he hears you stand up. “Were you ever going to tell me?” Matt turns his head away from you. “Wow… So if you didn’t come home one night I was going to sit here…” Matt slowly steps around the trunk and rests a hand on your shoulder but you shrug it off. “(Y/N) please…” He hears your hair move against you seemingly shaking your head. “I’m going to bed…” He hears you dash to your room with a slam of your door. Matt drops his head before walking over and collapsing on the couch.
The sound of a door closing wakes him up from his sleep as feet run down the hallway away from the apartment. He sits up and listens. Your heart beat isn’t present but just to be sure he heads in the direction of your room. “(Y/N)?” He asks opening the door. He can feel the heat of your bedside table lamp but the room felt eerily cold. (Y/N?)“ He calls out again before rushing to your bathroom tripping over a pair of shoes "Shit! (Y/N)!” He still doesn’t hear you. “No…” He goes back into the living room digging through the trunk and getting his gear to go out. He opens his window and goes down the scaffolding. 'Where have you gone?’ he asks himself as he goes to a building to listen.
Summary-(Y/N) Is a Matt Murdocks 14 year old daughter who is just entering high school and is really struggling. She doesn’t have a regular life having a blind father. He can’t help with homework, Can’t give her a have a ride to school, He can’t see how often her face falls when she lies to him. Of course she has her Uncle Foggy and Aunt Karen but (Y/N) feels like to much of a burden until the one and only Frank Castle comes into her life and seems to be more of a father figure then Matt ever has.
“Are you sure you are ready to go home?” Frank asks you as you stop at the corner of your street. Frank had “work” to attend to and he was going to drop you back off at Karen’s place but you decided against it. You decided that Frank was right and you shouldn’t be scared to talk and have a heart-to-heart with your dad. “Yes I am sure. I will pick up my stuff from Karen’s place tomorrow.” Frank nods and stands facing down your street.
“Well run along then.” He says nodding toward your apartment building. “Remember kid if something happens you know where to go.” He says referencing the sandwich shop you both went to a while back. “I know where to go Frank… Thank you for caring.” You say smiling in admiration. Frank only chuckles with a small smile giving you a fatherly gaze which he quickly shakes off. With a now stoic face he says. “Okay, Okay now get going.” He says and you sigh. “Alright. Bye Frank!” You say as you begin walking home. What you didn’t know what that Frank watched you until you got inside your apartment building before walking away.
Walking into your apartment it was oddly quiet with hushed whispers. You slowly creep into the living room to see you father shirtless and a woman with dark hair sitting on the couch. You couldn’t hear what they were saying but they seemed very intimate with how close and touchy they were. Sadly the only thought that was running through your head was that he seemed to jump at the opportunity of love once you were out of the picture. “So this is what you do after you beat your daughter to a pulp?” You ask anger evident in your tone. Matt and the woman look back at you looking shocked. “You have a daughter!” She asks shocked to which you respond with. “Yes he does and I think it is best you leave!” You hiss out. The woman is now standing along with Matt to now seeing that your dad was only wearing a pair of boxers while she was only in boy shorts and a black tank top. “Elektra it was before I met you that I had her!” He exclaims and the woman who is now named Elektra looks between the both of you. “Wow you feel the need to explain shit to her while I am wondering why there is a nearly half naked woman in my house!” Matt looks shocked at what you are saying. “(Y/N) language!” He says raising his voice a touch. “Oh fuck language! Right when I’m out of the picture you decide it is finally time to get into someone’s pants!” Tears begin to well up in your eyes looking at both of them. “You need to calm down.” Elektra says with an annoyed look on her face. “You shut the fuck up! This isn’t about you! This is between me and my dad!” You shout. “(Y/N)! Don’t talk to her like that! Watch your language!” Ignoring his statement you ask. “How do you even know her?” crossing your arms over your chest and heaving. “She’s someone from colle-” “Oh so she is some college hookup?” You growl. “What has gotten into you! Why are you so rebellious all of the sudden?!” Matt finally shouts. “What has gotten into me is the fact that you have had zero contact with me in the two days I have been gone and now I know why!” You say gesturing between the two. “Because instead of maybe asking for forgiveness you decided to go a fuck around with some college hooker!” “Go to your room right now!” Your dad yells louder then you have ever heard him. This makes you jump and look down. You go to turn around and head out the front door in an effort to hide your tears but Matts voice stops you. “No! Your room. Now.” He says sternly. You keep your head down and speed walk to your room slamming the door.
It has been an hour or so and instead of laying in your bed you have taken to laying under it. You use to do this when you were younger to stop the monsters in your closet from getting you. Your head is laying on a small decretive pillow that was on your bed which is now well soaked with your tears. This time is different from any other. Instead of hiding from the monsters in your closet. You are hiding from the thoughts of being replaced. It wasn’t that you disliked the thought of your father dating people it is just the timing was all wrong. The fact that your dad yelled at you with such resentment it seemed is what scared you the most. He never raised his voice at you even when you do something wrong or lash out at him. This was a different side of him that you have never seen before. A little part of you has always been insecure when it comes to your father. He had you just as he was entering law school and when he wasn’t going to class or doing homework he would spend every waking moment with you. You never really knew what happened to your mother but you found out at a young age that after you were born she up and left. You were glad that your father has his own practice in law but now you barely see him. Almost being fifteen is hard when you are also doing things that a normal adult should do. You understand that your father wasn’t normal but that doesn’t make it any better. You had nannies when you were younger when he started working for that big law company place that you can’t remember the name of and that caused some major anxiety. Now the thoughts rushing through your mind is insecurities, anxiety, and depression. It now makes sense though. All the late nights, never coming back until late, and sometimes never at all. ‘Why wouldn’t he tell me he is seeing someone?’ You thought. 'Why now of all times would he choose to bring her over?’
There are light taps on the door which makes you curl your legs closer to your body and chest. You sniffle and wipe your eyes gently as to not hurt your nose or back eye. The door slowly opens and the pads of feet on the ground are heard. “(Y/N)?” That’s new. He calls you 'sweetpea’ when he knows you are upset. “(Y/N) I need you to come out I need to talk to you…” There is an edge in his voice that you haven’t heard in a while. 'He must be really angry…’ You think but decide not to answer. He guides himself toward the bed before sitting on the ground in front of it. “I need to talk to you about your behavior tonight. It was completely unacceptable.” He says. “what about your behavior?” you mumble to yourself but he seemed to hear it. “What do you mean?” He says trying to keep his cool. “Did you not hear anything I said out there? Or were you to concerned with your toy?” At this point you wanted to piss him off more because these thoughts of insecurity stem from him. “She isn’t a toy (Y/N)! What has gotten into you? Why are you acting like this?” Matt says his voice raising a bit. “It all makes sense now…” You says softly and Matt stops for a minute. “All the late nights you were out with her… Probably at some fancy restaurant pigging out while I -your almost fifteen year old daughter- buys groceries and hopes you come home at night.” You sniffle. “I don’t ask you to do that.” Matt says. “I know but I do it because late at night is the only time I see you anymore.” You sniffle again. “Look I am not mad that you are dating someone it was just the timing…” You lift your head up to see your dads legs next to the bed. “…You find a chance at love when I’m not in the picture and I guess that’s okay. I just miss you and I want you around but you aren’t making an effort.” Matt stays silent as you talk trying to take in every word. “I feel like you don’t want me anymore. I understand that I took your college experience from you with me just being around, but I hate that it is present in this family now.” You hear Matt gasp at your words. “(Y/N)… Sweetpea… You di-” “Were you out with her the night I got attacked? Were you at the bar with her and forgot that we were going to have dinner and watch movies and talk about the recent book I just read?”
You sob another round of tears making its way down your face. “(Y/N) No I-” “I am still sad at the thought that I have no mother but now I feel like I am losing a father too…” Matt takes in a breath to speak but again you cut him off. “I will leave you alone if that is what you want. I will eat in my room a-and try not to hog the shower in the mornings so you can get to work faster.” You say taking in more breath with each word. “I don’t need anything for my birthday and give me three more years and I will be gone.” “(Y/N) stop.” Matt finally cuts in but you keep going. “I’m sorry I keep making things difficult. I’m sorry I was born a girl and not a boy so you would have to deal with my hormones every month. I’m sorry that I was the reason mom left. I’m sorry for being born at al-” You get cut off by Matt “(Y/N) STOP!” He shouts and this causes you to go silent and let out a whimper. Matt sighs and pauses for a minute.

You have been staying at Karen’s place for a two days so far. She offered her bed since it was a one bedroom apartment but you decided you were fine with the couch. You feel someone gently shaking you awake.
"Hun? It’s time to wake up.“ You look up at Karen for a minute trying to gain your thoughts and surroundings, "Karen?” She nods. “What is it?” You ask sitting up slowly. “I know you don’t want to go home but I need to do something at work and I can’t leave you alone.” She says sadly. “Can I please stay?” You mumble under your breath. Karen pauses for a moment. “Hold on…” She walks into the kitchen area taking out her phone and making a phone call. You begin to fold your blanket putting it over the back of the couch and sit down waiting for her to return. Karen comes back and lowers herself to your level. “(Y/N)? Frank says he can watch you. I didn’t tell him about your situation but you know he will ask questions when he sees you.” She says cupping the side of your cheek. “Don’t worry about it Hun. He will be here in a few minutes.” You nod. “Can I take a shower?” You ask and she nods and you take your bag into her bathroom. You strip down and look at yourself. You never thought that you would see yourself bruised again but here you are. You have a big bandage on your nose and one on your lip. The bruises have settled in having a hand shape on your neck and on one of your eyes. You sigh and step into the bathroom and begin washing up.
Frank walks into the apartment. “Hey Karen. You were vague on the phone.” He says being straight to the point. Karen sighs and sits on the couch and he sits next to her. “(Y/N) is under a lot of stress right now. Now don’t freak out when you see her it is her story to tell.” Franks eyes flash with concern. He waits for a follow up to that statement but nothing comes and he just sighs. Despite what he tells himself he has grown attached to you in a way he hasn’t felt in a long time. The familial feeling is nice but his fear gets the best of him but the tone in Karen’s voice when she talked about you has him on edge. There is a sudden crash from the bathroom which almost has Frank on his feet but then your voice from inside shouts. “Sorry! I dropped the shampoo!” He sighs in relief and Karen smirks. “What?” Frank asks. “What?” Karen responds. “What are you looking at me like that for?” Frank grunts and frown. “You feel the need to protect her and I find that sweet.” She smiles and Frank only scoffs. “You aren’t denying it~” Karen teases. “Shut up it should be natural instinct to be concerned for a child…” Karen only giggles and Frank looks at her for a moment taking in her face. The door opens to the bathroom and you step out wear a pair of (F/C) baggy pants as well as a T-Shirt followed by your favorite shoes. Franks face stays stoic while on the inside he is boiling. This is the second time he has seen you hurt and he is disturbed by the fact that some people out there do this on a regular basis. Despite that he stands up and grabs the guitar case. “Come on kid lets get going.” He looks back at Karen and says “See you in a bit Kare.” Karen smiles and nods before walking up to you and hugging you and kissing the top of your head. “I will see you soon okay?” You nod and start heading toward the exit with Frank following.
As you are walking down the streets of Hell’s Kitchen you can feel eyes on you. Frank is next to you sporting his usual hoodie and baseball cap . “Where are we heading?” You made sure to leave out his name for any ears that may be listening. “I can feel your anxiety from here kid so we are heading to my place. You have been there before if you remember.” He says lowly as to not cause attention. You nod “As long as you don’t make those awful ham sandwiches we’re good.” You say with a laugh as you head into the apartment building. You find yourself standing at the door of his apartment. “Are you gonna practice or not?” Frank asks and you quickly step inside. “Can I take off my shoes?” Frank nods and you do so and set them beside the door. Frank is already sitting in the living room tuning the guitar. You sit next to him and he hands it to you. “Now play ‘C’ , ’D’ , 'E’ , and 'F’ for me” Frank says and watches you. You begin to play those chords and smirk as you begin to play them fluidly. “That’s good now add 'G’ between 'C’ and ’D’. You nod and begin doing that. You feel his eyes wonder your face and you sigh setting the guitar down beside you and moving into a criss cross applesauce position. ” You are very obvious you know…“ You grumble and Frank chuckles. "That’s the point kid now tell me whose ass I need to kick.” He grunt. You turn your head down to your lap looking at your nails. “I wouldn’t let you kick his ass any way Frank. It was an accident.” Frank scoffs “Yeah right.” “Its the truth! My dad is blind and for some reason his hearing went out.” You cry out. “It was a fight or flight response and I don’t blame him…” You say your voice slowly trickling down into nothing.
“Then why are you sleeping at Karens house?” Frank asks in a less aggressive tone. “I guess I am just scared…” You mumble. “What are you scared of?” He asks and you shrug. “He already treated me different from the last time I got attacked and you saved me.” You sigh and look at Frank. “This time he is the one who attacked me and I don’t want him to get distant. I barely see him as it is at least when I had crutches he spent more time at home and now…” Your eyes begin to blur with tears. “He won’t want to spend time with me either.” You wipe your eyes and look away. The glimpse of what you saw on Franks face looked like sadness with a mix of something else that you can’t think of. “Well… My dad was around for a bit but he was always a honest and very blunt man.” Frank starts. “He was never one for small talk he wanted to get straight to the point.” Frank says bringing his hand down on his palm causing a loud clap to echo in the air. “Anyway what I am trying to say is you need to talk with your dad and tell him what is bothering you.” Frank says. You nod “I know I just get nervous… What if he doesn’t want me around anymore?” You ask looking up at him again. “Then he doesn’t want you around and he is a shit dad if he abandons you for something that is his fault.” Your eyes widen at his words. “But it-” “No it isn’t your fault. You tried to help and he reacted in the worst way possible.” Frank says giving you a hard stare. You sigh in defeat. “Okay…” Frank tosses you the remote from his side of the couch. “Put a movie on or something I got work to do.” He says standing up and walking to the kitchen table that had police scanners and papers with pictures scattered around. You chose not to question and argue so you put on (Y/F/M).

Warnings: Violence towards the reader
It is well into the afternoon as you are walking home. Frank decided to keep the guitar to bring it back to Karen’s apartment so it would be quicker for you to walk home. You enter your apartment floor when you hear loud blood curdling screams which were slightly muffled by the sound of the walls.
It is a wonder of how nobody else could hear it. You sprint to your door taking out your home key before jamming it into the lock and unlocking it. Not even bothering to shut the door as you run into the living room. You look upon the mess that he must have created in his fit seeing that there is a broken glass on the ground in a puddle of water, Ibuprofen tablets on the floor the table and chair seeming to have been knocked over when he stumbled and where he is sitting now is against the far wall away from the small hallway. "Dad!“ you shout as you rush to his side. "Dad! Dad! Can you hear me?” All he does is continue to scream his head thrashing around as well as his arms flailing. You have never seen this level of fear come from him.
You look for an opening in his flailing to lay a firm hand on his shoulder. “Da-” Your hand is grabbed in a painful death grip as a punch lands its self on your throat leaving you to choke and gasp for breath. Your free hand reaches for your throat trying to catch your breath. Seemingly now more terrified that someone is here with him he goes in to full “Fight or Flight” mode landing another punch across the nose before pinning you down. “Dad!” You sputter as you can now feel blood dripping from your nose to your lips. His grip seems to tighten on your arm while raising his other hand to go in for another punch. You try and block your face the best you can but it is no use seeing as your block was weak it only succeeded into crashing your own fist into your face along with his. “Daddy please! Please!” You sob out reaching up and cupping his cheek. “Daddy please it’s me!” He seems to freeze in place. You drop your hand to your chest seemingly exhausted. “Daddy please.” You whimper out and sniffle as the blood from your nose gets sucked back into your lungs making you cough and sputter. “Sweet… Sweetpea?” Matt asks. “No… No, no, no, no Sweetpea I-” He rips his hand from your wrist which is now bruising and he gets up and away from you as fast as he can.
“No… No, no, no, no Sweetpea I-” I move away from her getting up stumbling. My mind is fogged as my eyes well up with tears as they pool down my face. My senses seem to clear as I can now smell the scent of her shampoo mixed with the perfume she always wears. "(Y/N) I didn’t…“ I feel my feet carrying me toward where she last was only to hear a sob coming from her. "Honey please. You know I would never hurt you. P-Please don’t be scared.” I squat down to her level lifting my hand in her direction hoping for her to take my hand. “Please let me know you are okay Sweetpea…” The shuffle of clothes and the sound of her shoes run past me as I hear the slam of her bedroom door. This rips a sob from my throat as dark thoughts consume my head. ‘She’s scared of me.’ I can hear the sobs coming from her room. “N-no I-” My chest tightens as I search my pockets for my phone. 'Is this what a panic attack feels like?’ When I find it I press the power button. “C-Call Foggy.” I sniffle the ringing seems to go on forever until the ringing ends meaning Foggy didn’t answer. “Call Foggy!” The same repetitive ringing begins again only to be met with the same thing. “Call Foggy dammit!” I yell to the phone only to have it respond with “Karen… Karen… Kar-” I answer the phone “Oh Karen thank god” My breath seems to have left me.
“Matt whats going on? Me and Foggy are try-” “I need you to pick up (Y/N) Please. Please pick her up!” I beg and she responds “Is she okay what happened?” I just continue to stumble over my words my panic only rising as I speak. “Matt, Matt calm down I’m coming okay? I’m coming.” She says as the muffled voice of Foggy comes through. “Foggy I need to go I will be right back. I’m on my way Matt.” With that she hangs up. I’m shaking by the end my breath still caught in my throat. I walk over to (Y/N)’s door and gently tap with my knuckles. “(Y/N)… Sweetpea?” I get no response and find myself sliding down the wall next to her door. “I’m sorry (Y/N). I am so sorry.” My eyes feel irritated and my skin is prickled with goose bumps. “Karen is coming okay? She is going to take you for a bit… I will get sorted out okay? I will never hurt you again.” I say wiping my eyes. I don’t know how long I have been sitting there but I continue to say my apologies "You are my little pea okay? I love you more then anything.“ As I say that I hear Karen’s footsteps enter the apartment.
"Matt? Oh my god Matt what happened?” I feel her kneel down in front of me taking my hand in hers. “Check on her Karen. Check on (Y/N)… I really messed up Karen.” I place both my palms on my eyes and begin to rub them only irritating them further. “Okay. Okay I will check just tell me what happened.” I can hear Karen’s voice rise with panic. “Something happened… I suddenly lost my hearing and I freaked out. I-I hit her Karen. I hurt her really bad.” Just thinking about it tears a sob from my throat. “Oh god… Um okay I am going to check on her okay? I am going to take her with me like you asked.” I hear her stand up and slowly open and walk inside. I decide not to listen in on their conversation. All I do is focus on the sound of (Y/N)s heartbeat as I hear the tissues being torn from her bedside table which I can only assume would be for her nose. I hear the rustle of clothes being put in a bag as I hear the pair of footsteps come close to the bedroom door. Everything else seems like a blur from that point on. I feel her (E/C) eyes on me and I can’t seem to face her. Their footsteps get farther and farther away as my apartment door shuts.
