In the Lion's Den

After getting celebratory wasted, Matt walks home. Btw's this is my first ff so any constructive criticism is welcome. Ladies and gentlemen of the fandom, forgive me if I seem distracted. I've been preoccupied of late with, uh, writer's block. Of right sentences and wrong, good grammar and evil. Sometimes the delineation between the two is a sharp line. Sometimes it's a blur.

1. Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It was a late night at Josie's and Matt was piss ass drunk. He didn't mind that his senses were going hay-wire because Nelson and Murdock had won a huge tenement case that was going to pay for at least two months of rent at the office.

"To Nelson and Murdock," Foggy slurred, "the best damn avocados at law."

Karen snorted, "I have to admit that Matt was the MVP on that closing statement."

"Like hell he was." Foggy retorted, "Alright one last shot of eel for the team." Matt groaned. His sense of stupidity was tingling at the thought of drinking that eel again. "What Matt," Foggy chuckled, "can't handle this toast to our incredible law firm?" His voice cracked as he fought down a fit of giggles.

"Well, Karen what do you say?" Matt asked.

"I'm down for it." Karen answered.

"Why are you never on my side for stopping the alcohol?" Matt sarcastically questioned.

"Because you do gooder Catholics never have fun with it!" Foggy butted in.

"You should see how Baptists react," Matt laughed, taking off his glasses and putting them in his coat, "its sacrilege to them."

"Sucks for them." Foggy stated, "Alright now raise your glasses high fine co-workers of the Nelson & Murdock law firm," He nearly fell over trying to pour the liquor into their glasses, "a toast to the most epic avocados in Hell's Kitchen!" Raising their shots high, they tried delicately clinking them together before slugging the drinks down. Matt felt the ever familiar burn in his chest as the contents raced down his throat. He tried expanding his senses to see how drunk his friends truly were. As soon as he did instantly he doubled over, overwhelmed with information.

"I think," Matt croaked, "I think I am done for the night" He struggled to his feet with the help of Karen and Foggy. He made a mental note to never try out his senses whilst extremely drunk.

"Do you need help going home Matt?" Foggy said while trying to fight off a smirk on his face.

"Yeah we can call a cab for you," Karen added, "you know how it's illegal to have drunk walking." She giggled.

"I've never read on what's illegal while walking home drunk," Matt argued. He grinned at the thought of police arresting him over drunk walking, "Besides, my apartment is only a block away what's the worst that could happen?"
