"Not the weirdest way someone has gotten me to strip," Matt says trying to joke but it's been a rough few days between this and the bank robbery. He settles down onto the newspaper and starts undoing the catches on his armor.

As he pulls it off he winces revealing his heavily scarred body several wounds looking fresh. "This is has been a hell of a reintroduction for Daredevil," he mutters.

"I'll just have to get creative in the future," she half flirts as if it's a reflex.

She checks him as he gets his armor off. She considers what she has on hand that can be used because while she gets away with a little magical healing to speed things up she doesn't want to give away secrets tonight so she'd have to be careful. Matt has enough stress right now.

She does have to touch him anyways while cleaning him up so adding a little magical backup won't totally blow her cover. Colleen is as careful as she can be.

Matt doesn't know what it is about Colleen that makes him trust her easier than someone like Heather who he never felt comfortable with letting fully in. But he'd trusted her from the jump and didn't even mind she wasn't telling him the full truth. He knew the importance of keeping secrets to protect people. "I can't wait to see what creative is for you," he jokes back as he winces.

Colleen can't explain it either. Between the times he has slipped into her life when she needed someone and the time he protected her when she was nearly physically assaulted before she could act as a witness? He has found a way into her life.

"I promise we'll both have fun," she continues to carefully clean him up. She finds the largest of the bruises on him and just stares for a moment.

"You were close to having your ribs shattered. I've been hurt like that before. You need to be in readily careful Matt, that could turn into something worse." She doesn't even hesitate but places both hands on the very sizeable angry looking bruise she can see forming.

"I..." This is a point of truth. "I can make it heal faster. Please don't ask why ...I'm kinda stuck between a rock a hard place with some answers."

Still she can risk it so she pours another bit of Gnosis into him and focuses on the magic and healing. It should do the trick.

"I know about keeping secrets," Matt says, "I won't push unless you need me to or if I have no other choice. I hope it doesn't come to that but right now with Fisk being an asshole I don't know."

He sighs in relief. "I was trying to stay out of it...but Muse took Hector's niece when she found his lair...I had to do something."

Her heart just about drops into her feet hearing that. The girl looked like she was going to grow up to truly be a warrior for the forces of good. If Muse has killed her something truly precious would have been gone.

"That's why you put your costume back on." To save a life.

She kisses his forehead trying to offer Matt comfort. Colleen can't dive into danger with him. Not when her children are preparing to be born. Colleen has to think objectively right now and actually plan.

"Fisk wants to be a hero but is so full of his own sins and the sins of his father. I can't see him making good choices without serious growth as a person...he's a bully and a dickhead. As far as his past criminal activity....My Mother is a professional art thief I have a hard time being totally objective about crime. It's complicated when I know what it takes to get away from that life. I don't think he knows what it really means to become truly honest."

She goes back to checking his injuries. At this point she is tempted to give him a sponge bath. It will help given he should not be in his shower right now.

"Muse. Muse is going to be a catalyst for something. I know he is no longer in play but he started something. My gut says Fisk's task force is going to be a problem. You cockblocked them a bit I think. They're going to be out for blood "
