'Something like' is such a non-answer that Alan blinks a few times. He's about to ask Matt to elaborate when the other speaks again, and he frowns slightly.
"You sound like some sort of vigilante." No judgement. Just a statement.
There's a smile, so it's not like Matt is taking the whole 'I know about your shit, hey, sorry' too badly. It makes sense from what little Alan knows of the other, but he still feels a sense of relief.
"That's a pretty punchy nickname. Sounds more like a serial killer than a defender of the innocent."
"You're also probably not the first person to say that, either."
After all, there's plenty of discourse around not just Daredevil, but all of the heroes that seem to swarm New York. Especially the street level ones like him.

Matt laughs.
"I'm sure he had it coming."
