Dani's POV
(Nightwing27th)We ran down the stairs of my roof access door and into my creepy little layer in the closet. Sounds more serial killer and less caped hero, to me. Anyway, we reached the actual layer part and I headed for the closet door. "This way."
"Always wondered how you did that," the Mask said. I smiled and pulled back the panel, stepping out through the closet into my room. The Mask followed. I tossed my duffel bag on the bed and then headed for the office. I stopped in the doorway and turned back. "I'm going to tell Mary what we're doing. You change." I left and closed the door.
I walked out into the main room and found Mary coming out of the kitchen. She slightly jumped when she saw me, holding Lizzie. "I need to put a bell on that cat door of yours," she sighed. "What's wrong? You look frazzled."
"Well, I slightly am. It's a long story, but Matt and I are going to go stop Fisk. If we don't do it now, we might miss our chance. The cops already tried arresting him, but he had a plan for that." I sighed and walked to the front desk.
"So...what are you going to do?" she asked, turning on the main room light. I ducked behind the desk, pushing the chair out of the way. "Last time didn't go so well."
"Yeah, well..." I pulled open the bottom drawer and began riffling through the papers. "Last time, Nobu warmed us up for him. And, we were taken completely off guard." I found the paper I needed and then slammed the drawer shut. "That's not going to happen, this time." I stood and righted the chair. I looked at Mary, worry already on her face.
Matt walked into the room, decked out in his new attire. He held the mask in his hand, stopping a few feet away. "Wow," Mary said. "That is...quite the upgrade."
"Yes, it is." I walked around the desk and over to Mary. I held out the paper. "Here. If you want to help, now's your chance. Fire up the satellite and find Fisk." She nodded and took the paper from me. She read it as I walked away, headed for the bedroom. I walked past Matt. "Seriously, though...that's much better. Red is definitely your color." He smiled.
"Dani," Mary said. "Whose satellite is this? These don't belong to the one Chase and I used."
"Yeah, I gave that one to a friend. This one's better." I turned and continued to the bedroom. I walked into my room and closed the door. I quickly changed into my suit as I heard Mary yell, "This better not have anything to do with S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
"It's fine, Mare!" I sighed and then continued dressing. Once I finished, I went and looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. I look so cool! This is so much better than the other one. I slipped on the mask and then looked in the mirror again. He was right, it does cover the scar. I tested the realm of my visibility until I was satisfied.
The suit looks pretty identical to Matt's, just blue and in the shape of a woman. But I like it. My blonde braid sat on my shoulder. I topped it off with the blue lipstick and then exited the bathroom. I opened the bedroom door and saw Mary on the computer in my office. "Anything?"
"No, not yet. Almost-" She stopped talking when she looked at me. Her mouth fell open. "Well, aren't you two a pair? But, seriously, these new suits are awesome." She looked at Matt, who stood in the doorway to the office. "You are one lucky man."
"I try," he shrugged. He looked up at me and smiled. The computer started screeching and I knew it'd found our target. I quickly got behind Mary and looked over her shoulder. The computer was showing a live video feed of Fisk's truck driving down the road. "Got him," I said as Matt stepped forward. "Looks like he switched trucks."
"Then let's go," Matt said, moving toward the door. I instantly followed suit.
"Wait," Mary said and we stopped. I turned around right as she hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her. "You need to come back." She pulled away, looking at me. She then looked at Matt. "Both of you."
