I'm not sure if Stick would prefer it to be permanent or just genuinely not care. If he preferred it that way, I'm sure he could have doubled or tripled the dose and made it happen, but if it's just random he literally doesn't give a damn what the outcome is, that seems worse, somehow.
Maybe when Mike finally finds out he's going to get his sight back, he accuses Stick of lying to him and Stick's all, "Could have gone either way. To be honest, a kid your size, the dose I gave you, I'm surprised it wasn't permanent. What difference does it make anyway? Not like you need to rely on your eyes any more."
Maybe it's a bit of a cumulative effect, so every time you take it it lasts a bit longer. So it starts off, first dose maybe a few days, then he doses him again and it's like five days, then again and it's maybe seven or eight. But because he's not taken it for a while when he's an adult, the effect is reset and he's back to a couple of days.
I also had this idea for the time Stick doses him while he's awake. Maybe he does it like it's some kind of a celebration, like he's done really well, so Stick wants to share this tea ceremony with him or something. Stick can of course drink as much of the stuff as he likes without noticing any difference, so they drink it together and even though it's kind of disgusting, Mike's pretty happy about being able to share it with his teacher like they're equals.
By get at Matt, do you mean piss him off, or get him to talk to him in an effort to recruit him? (Or both!) Because maybe he's tried to recruit Matt again before and he's always refused to talk to him, but he knows that if Mike goes there blind, Matt's going to want answers, the story will come out and Matt will come to him, even if it's just because he wants to hit him. On the other hand, if Matt thinks he's making progress in convincing Mike to stop working with Stick, he could do this just to prove to Matt how in control he still is.
(Ooh, what if the effects last longer than he's expecting them to and for a little while, Mike thinks it might be permanent this time.)
