Law of Attraction (Daredevil/Matt Murdock fanfic) • COMPLETED

XXVII - Magical

  It was a silent trip from Jessica's place to Matt's. None of us seemed to know what to say to each other after the mess that happened there. I could tell Matt probably felt guilty of everything and I just did not want to ruin the night for us.

"Did he hurt you?" Matt asked me once we got in his apartment.

"Nah, I'm good" I said somehow glad that he couldn't see the red bruises on my arm.

"He did, didn't he?"

"I'm fine, Matt. I wanna know how you truly are"

"I'm a lot better now that I am with you, Ava" he smiled.

"That sounds good, but you're all covered in bruises as well"

"As well? So, you do have bruises!" he said. "I should've killed him when I had the chance"

"Hey, that's not who you are. We don't kill anyone, okay?"

"That's my girl"

  He really said my girl. The butterflies were coming back dancing in my stomach thanks to that handsome man and his incredible ways to use his words.

"Speaking of your girl" I started unintentionally ruining the mood. "Is Elektra on Fisk's side now?"

"She never was. Why do you think that?"

"You had something tracking the location of your suit and-"

"Wait what!?" he interrupted. "How do you know that? Where's my suit?"

"At Jessica's office slash home slash- Whatever that is"

"Are you kidding me? Why did you do that?"

"For the record, that was not my idea. I think. I can't really remember to be honest"

"Ava!"

"We were trying to save you, Matt!"

"I don't know how Fisk found you guys, but it had nothing to do with my suit"

"How come? Jessica found that one small device tracking your location or whatever it is"

"That small device is only something that can help me know where I am at all times, just so I don't get lost"

"Maybe they hacked it?"

"Maybe, but don't do that again"

"I don't think I can"

  Matt seemed to be mad at me for trying to save his life. I was not surprised, but it did hurt to hear those words. It is like when you work really hard for something and people are just ungrateful for what you did. In this case, I risked my own life for him. It didn't seem fair.

"Matt, I literally risked my life for you. Don't be mad at me" I continued.

"That's exactly why I'm telling you not to do it again. I don't want to lose you"

"None of us knew where you were. I saw you getting kidnapped"

"You shouldn't have followed me. I've also told you this before. Thousands of times! Are you getting dejavu?"

"Stop telling me what to do!" I yelled.

  The stress got all over me and I could not hide the tears falling from my eyes anymore. I just could not stop caring about him. My feelings for him were too strong and he didn't seem to understand that.

"I'm sorry" he started. "I understand if you want to leave me again. This is why I can't be with anybody. It's too dangerous. I'd rather be alone than having to attend your funeral due to my actions"
