    Summary

    **Completed!**

    “What are you really asking me, Matt?” Karen asks, looking up at him. Matt doesn’t answer immediately, taking a sip from his own glass and considering it, running his fingers over the smooth surfaces as he delicately chooses his next words.

    “What’s going on with you and Frank?” he finally asks bluntly.

    Screw delicacy.

    Summary

    “Yeah. Flight’s at 7 in the morning. I land in San Fran pretty late, but I have an AirBnB rented for the first month while I get my stuff moved into my apartment.”

    “So that’s it,” he said bleakly, rubbing his nose.

    “Yeah. That’s it. I—” Karen paused, looked back at him, and sniffed. “I gotta get out of here, Frank,” she whispered. “And you can’t come with me.”

    “Don’t do that,” he said hoarsely, looking away from her soft blue eyes, the strands of golden hair catchin’ the light. “Don’t throw my own goddamn words in my face, Karen. Please.”

    Or: Frank Castle reacts totally healthily, and definitely does not crash and burn after Karen Page leaves for San Francisco. (Yes the fuck he does, have you seen that man)

    Summary

    The bond, Ben is convinced- or the Force, or the lingering remnants of Snoke’s power, or whatever keeps patching them through to each other at the worst possible moment- has a sorry sense of humor.

    This, though- walking out of the fresher with a towel around his waist, wearing considerably less than the memorable moment when she had asked him if he had a cowl, or something, only to find her standing next to his bed- might be the worst joke the bond has played to date.

    (Someone spikes Rey's drink, and the bond decides this is Ben's problem.)
