He'd murdered another vigilante as soon as people stepped up for him, proving hs innocence. He showed no remorse, pretty much admitting to being at her door. Letting her know that just as easy, he could throw down her door and put a bullet in her head after...
She didn't want to think too much about it, but these kind of men tend to be extra brutal with women. They do find enjoyment as they show off their power, taking away their victim's sense of safety, their dignity. Kate knows this kinda trash.
"What about you?"
The word resonated as she stared at both Frank and Matt, this corrupted cop's life dangling from their fingers. Even though the cut on the top of one of her eyebrows kept pouring fresh blood and the bruise made it hard to see, Kate still felt like a deer in the headlights as Frank demanded Kate to admit if she wanted her pound of flesh.
For a moment, she looked at Matt with guilt, because in her heart she knew they were pieces of shit with cruel methods that ate up being backed up by Fisk. They had free range for cruelty and, as a group, encouraged each other to be the worst they could be.
'Nobody here is innocent'. If the tables were turned, they wouldn't have mercy on them. Matt surely realizes that and he is still stepping in for that piece of crap.
But can she be executioner? Can she do it in cold blood out of a fight? Where does the fight really end?
"This is not how we do it." It scared her shitless, almost even more than the firefight they just endured. Because she wanted Frank to like her, she wanted them to be a team. And she also wanted to prove her value, be at their level, say something smart. But this wasn't college or debate club.
This is standing her ground and realizing that a man's life might depend on her answer.
"If Fisk had died tonight they'd have a martyr," she points out, surprising herself by what suddenly hit her like a lightning in the dark. She was still mad as hell at Matt for risking his life, but what would have happened if Fisk was dead? They might have called Bullseye a vigilante too. Things would grow out of proportion and the ideas Fisk stands for? Vanessa would have a poster boy for destroying everything they believe in.
If they kill every member of the task force, their friends and new recruits will come back, bigger in numbers and with a more personal revenge.
"I don't know, break their bones, make it impossible for them to grab a gun again. But if we kill them we make their ideology stronger. We can't kill that, we have to prove them wrong."
They had to change the mind of people. Of good people like Heather who now thought Daredevil and Muse were the same thing.
