What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?

He took everything from me.

I was disbarred. The law had been the one constant in a life that had changed and shifted like the flow of a river. When dad was killed, it became something of an obsession. Justice, law...same thing to me, really, most days.

I lost it all at the hands of Wilson Fisk. My job, my house, my identity...everything, gone.

Karen sold it to him for a fix of heroin.

I never saw the attack coming. Blindsided. It almost sounds funny coming out of my mouth, doesn't it?

I woke up in the trunk of a taxi as it was filling with water. I kicked my way into the backseat, and saw a corpse. Was about to become one myself.

Was that the scariest thing that ever happened to me? No. Walking into Wilson Fisk's tower with a gun in my pocket, prepared to kill him for everything he'd done...

That was more frightening. That I could be pushed to the brink of cold-blooded murder. That I could walk that line, and almost become Frank Castle...that was frightening.
