Matt Murdock × Adelaide Watson : Daredevil has a heart too

A new Villain

I reached home and immediately hugged Natalie.

"Mom, what's wrong?" she asked as he looked up at me, worried. 

"Nothing serious," I lied. "Just got into a fight with some people outside. Bad people."

"Are you hurt anywhere?" she walked over to me at the kitchen counter where I was pouring myself water into a glass. 

"Nope. I am okay. Not a scratch darling." 

"Want me to call dad?"

"No that's alright. He is busy representing a new case. That is important."

Natalie looked up at me with a sly smile ,"The one with the vigilante killer that the NYPD actually arrested because he was actually doing something noble. Like hunting a masked manic!"

"Be honest, are you snooping through our case files?" I sighed, shaking my head with a smile.

"Just skimming a bit. I mean, you keep leaving such things on the table and I am a very curious child," she smiled brightly and innocently.

"Stop doing that kiddo. That is illegal."

"Stop leaving your files out in open then."

"You know what, fair enough."

A few seconds later Natalie had decided to now take upon finding those men who attacked me. As she went through the cameras I texted my secretary who helped run the mafia to run data on someone from the past. Someone I believed to be dead. What if he wasn't dead? Even though I watched it happen.

"Mom?" Natalie's voice broke through my chain of thoughts.

"Yes darling?"

"Who is this man that beat up those who attacked you?"

"No idea love but I did reach out to my secretary. Hopefully we will have an answer."

"Is it the same man from the court house?"

"Yes it is darling. Yes it is."

I didn't even get to say anything before Matt already knew what had happened. The Natalie Messaging Service had reached her dad.

"Are you okay?! Did you see their faces? Should I get out my suit and go give them a good warning?"

"First of all I am fine Matthew! Stop worrying. And no I didn't exactly see their faces but I had help against those men. All I can say is that Fisk is determined to get me. Again."

"I just wish we could stop him, for real. But he has been actively blocking us at every point. Him knowing our identity isn't helping our case either," he said, running his hands through his hair in frustration.

"Look, love listen to me. Worst comes to worst, what happens? People love Daredevil. You are the reason thousands are alive and they believe in you. Me on the other hand, well, I go back to being a full time mafia boss. Either way, Fisk cannot destroy us the way he wants to destroy us. He can bluff all he wants but we will always win."

Matt nodded as he sighed. The frustration wearing away.

"Besides, we have a new Villain to deal with," I placed a photo on the table in front of us. "The new serial killer who likes to draw Graffiti"
