Dust & Ashes {Daredevil}

Rhea had tried to speak various times but Matt made it clear that he couldn't focus his hearing with her rattling off at him. Which just made her roll her eyes but she did comply since she knew that hearing was something he actually needed. Especially after she basically took his ass out with her powers.

She paused at the sound of a couple of men talking in Russian. Rhea grabbed onto Matt, "They're talking about drugs."

Matt nodded his head and that was about his response to her. He didn't even say he was going after the Russian guard. She gaped before running after him, he kicked the Russian guard and instead of him turning to swing. Rhea swung her weapon and knocked him out before twirling her staff around.

"What the fuck?" Rhea retracted the staff and tucked it back into her belt, "You can't go jumping into action without telling me."

"I didn't ask for a partner."

"Well, here I am." Rhea glanced back at the building, "Use your special ears and tell me what's going on inside. How many people do we have to deal with?"

Matt had the audacity to scoff before focusing on what was happening inside the building. Just as he focused in, he could hear a clicking noise and immediately he grabbed the knocked out Russian on the ground. He moved and wrapped an arm around Rhea before using the man as a shield.

Rhea ended up rolling away from him as she hit the floor. She groaned loudly and started to cough. She slowly sat up from the ground, there was no ringing in her ears at all, which she was certain was a side effect to her own powers. She reached lazily for Matt, "Are you okay?"

Matt grabbed her arm as they pulled each other off the ground. He held her upper arms for a moment as he listened for anything else. "They're getting away."

"Seriously?" Rhea could tell that she was going to be covered in bruises, "There were just multiple explosions."

"I have a job to do. Either you can stay or you can help. Your decision."

"You're a real ass in that mask, you know that?" Rhea huffed as she followed after him. She watched as he jumped over the fence in a dramatic way before simply going around to the gate. "Dramatic."

Rhea ducked under the punch thrown at her by the Russian. She slid down to the floor completely and locked her legs with his before twisting. She got up and pressed her boot against his chest. She kicked him hard with her heel and groaned a bit. Rhea put her hand on her side since all the pain from the explosion was getting to her.

"Stop-" Rhea caught sight of Matt beating the Russian man viciously, "Hey, that's enough! You got him-"

Rhea cursed loudly while a couple of cop cars pulled up. She moved back from Matt a little bit while looking over at the squad cars.

"Hands in the air! Raise those hands!"

Rhea put her hands up and shot a look over at Matt, "Do it, moron."
