   Summary

   Matthew pulled his shirt over his head, revealing faded bruises and fresh scars, along with other healed pink lines. Jud examined his fit form, despite the restful week he had had. Matthew’s muscles tensed, and Jud looked at his hands as he wrapped his wrists and knuckles.
   ...
   “Paul, you didn’t tell me he was blind,” he whispered, hands at his sides in defeat.
   “Does it matter?” Matthew answered, smirking.
   Jud turned to look at him.
   Matthew angled himself briefly towards Maggie. “You didn’t tell me he was a priest.”
   ...
   OR: When Matt Murdock is grieving and losing faith, a former boxer-turned priest Jud Duplenticy appears to help and guide him, or just to be someone to confide in when he has lost everyone else. Set during Season 3.
