Chapter Two

Recreating

Karen had walked up to him and placed a hand on his arm then hooked it around his arm. Sure he could see his way around but Karen did it out of habit and she didn't mind it, not at all. But it wasn't just that it was also because she did, after all, loved him once before and maybe...still do even though things went badly between the two of them. They made their way out of the building and walked along down the street heading for somewhere that Mathew doesn't know where or recognized if it had to mean something to him.

"Where are we going...?" he asked.

Karen was silent which is giving an uneasy feeling but yet he can sense the woman seeming happy for some reason.

"Trust me" she hummed as they continue to walk down the street.

Mathew stayed silent after hearing what she had said and just allowed her to lead him through the city until they arrive at the destination Karen wants to take him to. When they finally stopped in their tracks, Mathew looked towards Karen with the shades that he would always wear and never take off.

"Here we are" she said informing him that they have arrived

"Where are we?"

"Have to wait and see when we get inside" that is all she had left him with

Mathew sighed as he wasn't feeling like playing games with Karen even though he should move on with his life because that is what he decided to do today, to reconnect himself again, reconnecting is by moving on from the past and what is holding him back. Mathew followed her into a building hearing the door knob turn knowing it was Karen who is turning the door knob off the door, she pushed the door opened as it made a creaking noise she opens the door along with a doorbell which chimed as they entered inside. The only bell he could think of that could make that particular bell is the nice coffee shop that he would go into now and then when he would want to get a nice cup of coffee since he didn't have Karen anymore to make him the coffee she would make for him when...they were all still together working at the Nelson and Murdock Lawyer business. Mathew walked into the coffee shop with Karen.

"Why are we at the coffee shop?" he asked her while making their way past the other people in the building and the tables.

Until they had come to a stop. Mathew suddenly sensed someone whose heart is racing with the uneasiness of nervousness. He looked from Karen to the person and there he knew who it was as he sees the flares which he would call it shaping the figure, giving him the image of whom it is.

"F-Foggy...?"

"Y-Yeah man...It's me. You look crap man" he said.

Mathew gave a small smirk and a small chuckle as it is good to hear the guy still has his sense of humor.

"I see you haven't...lost your sense of humor, Foggy"

"Let us sit down. I will get coffee" Karen said as she helps Mathew take his seat before she left to get them coffee.

After Karen had left them two alone together Mathew feel like she did it on purpose to leave them together to work things out but then again he did agree to this to follow her as she offered to help him. If he was to ever turn back, he wouldn't be able to since he had already got himself into this.

It had begun to be silence between the two of them, awkward because of how they hadn't spoken to each other nor had they seen each other.

"So I heard that you are quite the great Lawyer...It seemed you didn't need me after all when you put your mind to it" Mathew said to Foggy as he gave a half smile.

It may hurt him but he is proud of his friend because he had gone so far without him. He can only be so proud of himself because he is following the path he had wanted to be. If only Mathew had known what he truly wanted only then he wouldn't have hurt so many people that he cared about in his life instead of also having them be dragged into his second life. But he can see why they had grown apart because he did not come to trust them with his biggest secret which was what had hurt them the most even though he did what he did for the sake of their safety.

"Yeah...but I've learned a lot of things from you man. Even though...your other life to you was more important but...you had taught me a lot of things because I carried that with me" Foggy said to him as if he was trying to be modest since he is here.

Mathew gave a small smile and chuckle just to respond to him politely before Karen came back with the coffee.

"Here is your coffee" she said to them as she hands them their coffee.

"Thanks" both Mathew and Foggy thanked Karen.
