    Summary

    “The more experienced fighter,” Stick told him, back at the start of his training, “Gets to choose when the other fighter gets to breathe.”
    “I know that,” Matt said at the time, “My dad was a boxer.”
    He got cuffed on the side of the head for that. “No. You don’t really know it until you live through it, Matty,” Stick said, without emotion.

    Summary

    He moves his mouth a few times, soundlessly - a sure sign that he's working out what to say and doesn't think Foggy will like it. "I, uh, I...remember how I told you I was a demon?"

    "That's pretty memorable," Foggy says, because, well.

    "I…may have neglected to tell you what kind of demon I am," Matt says.

    There are different kinds of demons? Matt's expression is nothing shy of abject terror, so Foggy makes a heroic effort and keeps his voice very calm. "What kind of demon are you, Matt?"

    Matt gulps audibly. "An incubus."

    Summary

    Mr. Urich looked at Matt, who was stroking the worn leather of the boxing gloves dangling around his neck by the laces with an expression of total contentment. Without them, he would have suspected Matt had come to school in his pajamas again - white undershirt, fluffy bathrobe, too-big sweatpants. With the gloves, though…

    “Are you a boxer, Matt?”

    Matt beamed and puffed out his narrow chest. “I’m Battlin’ Murdock. I’m the champ!”

    -

    Halloween with Mr. Urich's second grade class is a little chaotic. But then, what isn't with them?
