10- playing with fire

When Yugi awoke he found himself in a place that he didn't recognize. His head throbbed in pain as voices of the innocent pounded his ears. Suddenly he could feel this warm wave of relief flood his body.

"Thanks Atem." he replied in a whisper slowly sitting up. Yugi took a better look of his surroundings almost knowing that he was in someone's house. Suddenly the door to the room that he was in opened revealing a bushy sandy blond hair teen. He wore a pair of sunglasses over his eyes as he had a seeing eye cane in one hand and a tray of food in another. "Are you the one who brought me here?" Yugi asked slowly moving off of the bed. His muscles felt stiff as they protested from the movement.

"You shouldn't move around too much. You took quite a beating. How in the world did you end up in that alley?" asked the stranger as he spoke with a slight New York accent.

*You don't want to really know the answer to that.* Yugi thought to himself. "I don't really recall. I remember a fire and everything else is a blur." Yugi replied lying. Little did he know was that this person whom stood before him could tell that Yugi was lying. "I guess that I owe you one..."

"The name is Joseph Wheeler but call me Joey...and you are?" the blond asked moving over to the bed placing the tray of food down onto the bedside table.

"Yugi Moto." he replied ashamed that the teen couldn't see but then again how could he known that Yugi was unconscious in the alley. *There is something strange about him, he looks familiar.* Yugi thought to himself as he could feel his right hand growing warm as he noticed Joey winching in pain as he grabbed his left shoulder. Yugi's eyes widened quickly as placed on Joey's key rind was an odd looking Egyptian style key which was the size of a cell phone. In the back of Yugi's mind the image of Daredevil overlapped Joey's as the two looked alike, as their images meld into one. Joey Wheeler was Daredevil. Yugi gasped silently as his hand returned back to normal.

"Well Yugi...feel free to rest up here, if you need anything don't hesitate in calling me." Joey stated before leaving. Yugi could clearly see the mark glowing underneath Joey's clothing on his left shoulder.

Yugi laid back down letting out a long sigh.

*Yugi am I right to assume that we have found another ally?* Atem asked as he appeared before the teen in spirit form.

"It seems so but I don't understand how a blind teen like Joey can be Daredevil." Yugi whispered.

*I don't understand it myself but when you thing about it, our other allies all possess incredible powers. The same could be possibly be said for Daredevil.* Atem replied.

"Atem why don't you ever call them by their true name?" Yugi asked as the spirit of vengeance shrugged his shoulders.

*Old fashioned, I guess. But that fire wasn't a natural fire. It was started by a demon.*

"Are you certain?" Yugi asked as Atem nodded his head yes.

*My powers can only effect Hellfire not normal fire. It is the same flames that crown my head and the bike. Those flames at the building were of the same nature as my own. This was how I could bend them and absorb the flames before the fire overloaded us and sent us flying into the alley. I was then forced to change back into you.* Atem stated.

"Meanwhile I can't let Joey know that I know who he is since he doesn't know that I am you and vice versa."

*Exactly. We will have to play possum in order to get some information about our new found friend.* Atem replied disappearing as Yugi helped himself to the food that Joey had brought him.
