Summary
In some weird way Matt’s ended up becoming part of Frank’s unit here. A brief, warm feeling spreads within him. It’s good to have a unit. It’s part of Frank’s conceptualization of the world, it’s how the army raised him. Your unit is people you trust irrevocably, unconditionally, it’s blind faith, and somehow Frank finds himself extending this to the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. The Punisher works alone but he knows — he knows — Red would be there for him.
Frank’s back in New York, finding himself in the company of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen and the line between Red and Matt Murdock starts to blur more than he’d like to admit.

Summary
Foggy once told him “You like ‘em crazy”. Yes, apparently, and it makes Matt awful crazy too. Looking the other way, compromising his morals, this wanting to leave it all behind and run away. He’d wanted to run off with Elektra, and maybe if Frank asks him — if Frank asks he might do it too. Frank had said it was a good fuckin’ feeling to have somebody watch out for you. He’s right. It is. It’s exhilarating to put your life in somebody’s hands and to hold theirs in yours. How can any other thing measure up to that? To this ultimate act of devotion? The answer is that nothing can.
Frank keeps showing up, Matt feels conflicted, and a war is brewing between the Russians and the Triad.

Summary
Search and destroy. Clear and hold. Attrition warfare. It turns out to be one clusterfuck after another, unclear orders, Billy’s got sand in his eyes and his ears, even feels like it’s in his goddamn asscrack, he’s tired and thirsty but he’s not hungry at least and the best part is that he’s got Frank fucking Castle next to him through it all. Frank Castle is everything Billy has ever wanted to have and to be. He’s stoic masculinity, hard edges all over, taking stay frosty to new heights, a natural-born leader, a tactical genius, he is. And he’s always by Billy’s side.
Billy and Frank overseas and at home, before everything.

Summary
“And what about you, Matt Murdock,” she said after they had introduced themselves, “are you happy where you are?”
“There’s always room for improvement,” he took her drink out of her hand and sipped it. Something settled deep within her and she didn’t know what, she dared not name it, strange and foreign as it was.
She knew what he was though; a do-gooder, an overachiever, a Catholic, a true bleeding heart if ever one there was. Surely he must be bored too — bored of keeping on that perfect mask. “Come now,” she told him, ready to show him more of what life had to offer.
Something had always been missing in Elektra’s life — until she met Matt Murdock.
