[He has a tendency to surprise her from time to time. Now is one of those times. It's funny how no one ever seems to get it. Matthew treated their father's attempts to kill her as some kind of personality flaw. He couldn't possibly mean it. It was just Stick being Stick. No one ever takes her side of anything even after he pulled the same stunt with that idiot manchild they called Iron Fist. She stares at him in open surprise even knowing it makes sense. If anyone would get what a monster that man was to the children he supposedly saved it would be Frank Castle. If anyone would hate him for abusing his shot at fatherhood, it would be Frank. It occurs to her belatedly how horrifying this must sound to him having a daughter of his own once upon a time.]
