Summary
Just because they fought together, doesn't mean Luke knows that much about Matthew Murdock, recently 'resurrected' blind ninja (okay they rescued him from a bunch of nuns but seriously, the man should've died).
So when he, somehow, gets roped into helping Matt train Danny to learn to pay attention to his surroundings well... it might be a chance to get to know the guy. A bit.
Plus he gets to throw things at Danny. Always a plus.

Bookmarker's Notes
"He’s drawn up to his full, threatening height, all his anger and confusion tuned on the older man to distract himself from the real targets. It’s the same kind of deflection that means the Joker lives while the GCPD quake in their boots. He’s too angry to risk turning on Tim and Damian." - TA ch.2

Bookmarker's Notes
The Talon isn't really human anymore, but that's okay because Damian's never liked humans that much anyway.
In which Damian decides to adopt the Talon as another stray, and the Talon decides that former child assassins need to stick together.
