Clint sat on his couch watching Christmas movies with his friends. At some point he had turned his hearing aid down because honestly the plot of all these movies seemed to be the same.
He watched as Matt talked with Kate about something. Karen and Foggy watching the movie but also bugging each other constantly.
The hearing aids were turned up when Matt waved over at him.
”Hey your mini self asked about our first encounter I thought you might wanna help explain?” Matt asked
”Eh I don’t know Katie….”
”Please Clint! You never tell me these things! Please!” She begged. Lucky barked seemingly agreeing with her.
”Fine fine! As long as horn head explains his side as well.” Clint said sitting at the table
”Well it was December….” Matt began
It was a cold night in New York. December always was a definite for the cold weather. It was always the worst when you were a spandex wearing Vigilante.
Daredevil had been chasing down some mafia members for a few weeks. Foggy about killed him when he got hurt. He didn’t understand why they were so difficult to track.
But they were and that’s how he ended up laying flat on his back in a pile of trash. Sure his suit would smell terrible but at least he didn’t have any broken bones.
Then all of the sudden he hears footsteps then feels all the air leave his lungs as he’s groaning the person on top of him starts apologizing.
”It’s fine can you just get off?” He grumbled
The other man just kept apologizing almost like he didn’t hear him. Daredevil pointed to where his ear was to try and get the guys attention.
”Oh sorry didn’t hear you hard of hearing.” The guy said slurring his words
Great just great. The blind guy has to deal with the deaf guy.
Daredevil gets up and out of the dumpster and drags the other along with him. The other was fairly confused and was saying things that only half made sense.
Daredevil stopped when he got to a safe place. He grabbed the hand of the other guy and traced the word B-L-I-N-D in his hand.
”Blind? Wait are you blind?” The guy asked
He wrote Y-E-S in his hand. The guy must have been processing.
“So we can’t communicate can we?” The guy said
Daredevil nodded. This was probably the weirdest situation. Blind vigilante and Deaf (hopefully) vigilante.
“Hawkeye. I’m Hawkeye.” He said
Daredevil grabbed his hand and spelt out D-A-R-E-D-E-V-I-L.
”Daredevil? Your from Hell’s Kitchen right?”
‘Y-E-S’
”Yeah and after that day we kept meeting so we talked more. And on the one year anniversary of our meeting we had eggnog on a rooftop and told each other who we were.” Clint explained
“Wow. But a dumpster really? I expect it from Clint but your like so cool!” Kate gushed to Matt
Matt just laughed.
“Yeah I’m cool but I still don’t want broken bones.”
The rest of the night was spent telling stories and watching shitty Christmas movies while drinking eggnog and eating pizza.
Lucky got a pizza all to himself as a Christmas present.
