          A SMILE TUGS AT HER LIPS. Wesley was an observant man, and a very attentive one as well. He must have known other worlds, other places to get that wary, far away look into such a calculated expression. There must be a little resentment within him by being stuck to get her anything she desired and to bend to her whims. It was quite a good thing Vanessa refused to be an improper guest. “Lunch sounds delicious at the moment,” She comments, the anticipation of the visit Fisk had received from other associates had left her anxious, but Wesley was tasked with keeping her away from their prying eyes. “Lord knows I’m famished.” 

      *   @adiutorwesley  i am by no means the wesley expert here but i do need to do a bit of background on this to fully project my headcanon, lol: the thing that interests me about him is that he’s not… really meant to be an evil character? he may be arrogant, and he may be willing to look the other way when more gruesome methods become the only option he has left, but he’s first and foremost a civilized, nearly diplomatic man that’s just doing his job, and standing by his friend. so i don’t think that wesley had any kind of criminal background prior to working for fisk, because that’s not really his niche. 

i’ve got this headcanon that wesley probably worked somewhere in the political sphere as a consultant or something of that nature on the campaigns and administrations of people that were involved with fisk either legitimately or illegitimately prior to working directly for fisk himself. wesley has a strategic mind that is trained upon public and internal relations, like handling the media and also representing fisk to their criminal syndicate in season one. he’s quick to consider and act upon the interests of fisk’s vision and fisk himself at every angle. it would make sense, him working in politics or just public relations in some capacity. 

but the thing is that wesley isn’t necessarily, like           a visionary?  it probably would’ve been the structure and the game of politics that interested him more than the idea of being an instrument of change. i don’t think that wesley would’ve cared all that much about the power to be gained through politics, either. he’s just an incredibly intelligent man with very good strategic abilities to him and that would’ve been an obvious way for him to utilize them. and fisk has a very good eye for talent and how to put it to some use that suits him, as we witnessed in both season two with frank castle and season three with benjamin poindexter. so if we were to consider the idea that wesley was working as a consultant or representative to a politician that fisk was doing direct business with, it would’ve been nearly impossible for wesley’s exceptionalism to go unnoticed, and fisk would have most certainly saw the value of a person like wesley in his line of work. 

as i said before,  i don’t think that wesley would’ve really been in the game for the nobility of being a public servant of some kind anymore than he was working for fisk just for the satisfaction of breaking the law and doing terrible things. he’s just doing a job, which he likes to do because he’s good at it, since wesley seems to really thrive off of being useful and is very bitter when he’s not allowed to be. so i don’t think that it would’ve taken much convincing from fisk to bring wesley into something as elaborate as a criminal underworld, since he seems to be fairly indifferent about his work so long as he’s doing it, but fisk is nothing if not convincing anyways lol. i headcanon that wesley had been working for fisk for about seven years since the start of daredevil season one. i think i read that number in a fic and it just stuck with me. also, i love the idea of fisk hiring wesley literally right before he moves his projects overseas to asia and asking him to become fluent in all the common tongues by the time that they set up shop there… peep wesley doing a duolingo crash course on a twenty hour flight to hong kong. 

He knew his search was starting to seem desperate at this point. But, truth to be told, he was deperate. Fisk was on trial, this close to clearing his name and coming back to Hell’s Kitchen, and if Matt conversation with him in prison months ago told him anything, was that the man wasn’t going to be nearly as discreet as he had been before. So, really, desperate was an understatement. 

There wasn’tmuch tied to Fisk’s name anymore-- most of it had been confiscated from the moment the FBI was on his tail, but through a lot of digging Matt was able to find a few properties that the man still had his hands on, all of which had been kept such a secret, Matt could only imagine, for the case of an emergency, like going to prison. Most of them were a dead end, except the last one.

James Wesley, the man who had hired Nelson & Murdock to defend John Healy, and who, as the trio found out later, worked for Fisk. Matt never really bothered to find out what happened to him. He just assumed that, like many other of Fisk’s allies, he had either been arrested, left the coutry, or died. As long as he was no longer in New York, Matt didn’t really care. 

          THE SLIGHT HESITANCE THAT SHOWS THROUGH HIS FACADE IS NEW, Vanessa had always thought of Wesley as a commander-- one who would lead the army into battle because he believed in a king, and fought in order to preserve his status and safety, and yet Vanessa could see the hesitance shine like a star. It was unnerving, but understandable-- she had always made an impression whenever she spoke out loud her heart’s desires. Her darker wants. 

                    ❛   well i'm sure you have a lot of important things to do and a lot of important places to be. please          let me walk you out mister. wesley.    ❜ CLAIRE IS beyond unsettled. not quite afraid but ... close. she's not the type of woman to ever go against her gut feeling, her instinct has kept her perfectly safe and sane her whole life, she won't go against it now. ❛   you can always come back tomorrow. we open up at nine.   ❜

Even at a distance, the guy gave off this eerie vibe. So there he was; Karen’s boogeyman. Danny didn’t have much opinion of the man apart from what he had heard from Karen, her haunting nightmares keeping her up most nights, looking for comfort at the bottom of bottles. He was back from the dead.
