trigger warning: sexual assault, sexual harassment. Do not read ahead if that makes you uncomfortable.

  Lupe Herrera couldn't believe that Matthew Murdock had just kissed her. It had felt amazing. His lips were soft and warm. The way the heat from his body radiated onto her. When she woke up she wasn't in her house this time, but the bed right in the orphanage alongside Matthew- he was sleeping without a shirt on, and she could see how his muscles contrast as his chest rose and as he exhaled.

  It was the middle of the night, noticing how late it exactly was. For once, Matt looked like he was at peace. He looked angelic even. She didn't want to wake him up, fearing this is the one of the only times he has gotten some sleep.

Sister Maggie was Matthew Murdock's mother. Matt had found it in the middle of him training, and he had listened in on her prayer- finding out who she really was. Lupe was shocked, surprised- but not as much as Matt. After all this time, he could've had somebody to care for him. But he thought he was alone, he was left in the dark.

It was a even bigger shock that Maeve only had little memory of the woman, as she was a few years older than her brother. She didn't know that it was Maggie that was her mother, as she barely remembered. But it was coming back to her in pieces.

Lupe could tell that the two Murdock siblings were mad at each other. She decided that for her it would be best to stay out of their business, as she did not want to be involved. There was already enough business that she was in.

She understood why they were mad at Maggie as well, but she would do anything to have a mother again. To have the beautiful, sweet mother she once had before her illness took her away from the people she loved most. Her abusive father had loved her mother more than anything in the world, she was the light of her eyes. The reason why he was good until he wasn't. It was like he had fallen down into the deep end.

She barely had memories of her father when he was a good person, only the tiniest moments and that's why they were core memories for Lupe Herrera. He was only pure for her mother, and nobody else. But she always wished he could have been good for her, like a normal- like a good father would have.

She thinks of her mother everyday. The thoughts of her sit in the back of her mind, and most times they come rising to the surface. And sometimes she would think about how if she never died, her father still could have been a good person.

Then again, her father didn't put much focus into her while her mother was still alive. There was only certain times where he had recognized Lupe as his daughter. And she used to love the times that he did, where she felt like had belonged- when she didn't feel like she was left out of her own family.
