Dust & Ashes {Daredevil}

Rhea looked out the window of her room in her apartment. Her arms were crossed over her chest as she stared at the commotion in the city. She kept thinking about what Benicia had said, how there was a masked man that had helped her. She exhaled before moving to her closet. She popped it open and looked down at the trunk in the center of it. With a long sigh, Rhea just closed it completely and walked away from it. She realized that Zoe wasn't home yet, meaning she was still at the office.

In a bored state, Rhea grabbed her coat and headed out to go see them all. She started to walk down the street with her hands stuffed into her pockets. She walked into the office and immediately waved at Benicia and Karen who were busy setting up their desks.

Benicia's desk was near Matt's office door, while Karen's was in between Zoe and Foggy's office doors. Rhea opened her mouth to ask why they were still here when she was cut off by pitchy singing.

Foggy's voice came muffled from his office, "Pour, oh, pou the pirate sherry! Fill, oh, fill the pirate glass. And to make us more than merry-"

Zoe opened her office door slowly and gave a wide eyed look to the others, "Oh, my God."

"Let the pirate bumper pass, for today's our pirate 'prentice rises from indenture freed. Strong his arm and keen his scent is. He's a pirate now indeed-"

"Hi, Foggy!" Rhea called out with a large smile on her face.

Some loud clattering comes from his office. He pops the door open with a startled look at the sight of all the females that had listened to him sing. He released a nervous laugh, "Could you-could you hear me just now?"

None of them responded to him, all simply stared for a few moments. Karen finally spoke up, "Nope."

"The correct answer is 'Yes and you sound amazing'!"

Zoe snorted and closed the door to her office, "Of the two lies were were all faced with, she obviously took the lesser. She's far too adorably sweet to be mean to you."

Foggy shot Zoe a look of disapproval before changing the subject, "I thought you went home. Rhea, uh, what are you doing here?"

"I got bored." Rhea offered up, "I kept waiting for Zoe to come home but she didn't. I figured she was still here."

Zoe shrugged her shoulders, "I'm still setting up my desk. And they're obviously doing the same. It takes us a hot minute anyway."

"That's fair." Rhea came over and glanced over all the unpacked boxes, "You're working so damn slowly though."

Benicia glanced down at the boxes, "It would have been faster if I had any actual help setting up their electronics. I essentially did everything because no one else in this office understood how."

Karen sheepishly brushes some of her hair behind her ear, "Sorry, I did mention that wasn't really good with that kind of stuff."

Zoe just waved it off with a little grin, "Don't worry about any of that, hun. If it's not your thing, it's not your thing. There's a lot of things you can do around the office to help out."
