"They say we are asleep until we fall in love
We are children of dust and ashes
But when we fall in love we wake up
And we are a god and angels weep
But if I die here tonight
I die in my sleep"

Rhea was rather grateful to be fed some food. She was using chopsticks as she poked around at all the food. She had explained herself as Wailing Woman, which she didn't really have an explanation for. This was also when she realized that she never had a conversation with Matt about what they discovered about her. Rhea was a Black Sky, or something like that because The Hand apparently did some crazy juju to get her there.
"I heard he just disappeared."
Matt cleared his throat, "That's not entirely how it happened."
Danny was able to wrap his head around Rhea as Wailing Woman, but he seemed to be having a harder time with Matt, "It just doesn't make sense. What do you mean you're Daredevil?"
"It's a long story." Matt chose to say, "One I'd rather not tell. More importantly, it's a secret I keep not just for the sake of protecting myself, but also for the people that I love."
Luke was eating as well, "Okay, I get that."
"Good."
"I don't." Danny interjected again, "You're blind."
"Yeah, well, sight is overrated."
"As much as I appreciate these lovely bonding moments-" Rhea cut in as she adjusted herself on her seat, "We kind of need to talk about a plan here."
Jessica eyed Rhea, "The only plan is how do we get these people off our backs? Ideally, in a way that doesn't incriminate us."
"Incriminate us? What are you talking about?"
"Damn, yeah, she's right. That's why cops don't like vigilantes, remember. We're not on the police payroll."
"What we did back there was trespassing, aggravated assault, and vigilante bullshit." Jessica was glad that one of them was smart enough to understand this.
"Guys, there's one cop I think we can trust." Luke informed them all, "I think we should bring her in."
"No. You'd be putting her in danger." Matt sighed.
"As will anyone who goes up against the hand."
"I don't see how this can be dealt the legal way." Rhea finally said, which felt so wrong to say since her boyfriend was a lawyer, plus Matt was in the room, "The Hand has some crazy power behind them. And I mean like... magical bullshit. We have to go at them head on as a group."
"No."
"Look, I agree with her-" Danny leaned forward in his seat, "These people took everything from me. I'm gonna take them down, one way or another."
"I wanted to help one kid." Luke admitted to them, "One family."
Jessica sighed and sank further back in her chair, "I'm the first to admit when I'm in over my head, and this is way past my threshold."
