Dani's POV
(Nightwing27th)

"Daredevil," Karen said, trying it out. "That's what they're calling him now." I looked over her shoulder at the paper she was holding. On the front page was Alison's latest article. It was all about how Angel and Daredevil stopped Fisk, who's now sitting in a cell. I think she left out the part about hitting him with her car.

"Yeah, Alison did a good job with that one," I said.

"Daredevil?" Foggy scoffed. He was screwing the Nelson and Murdock sign to the outside of the building. "Sounds like he's gonna jump Snake River Canyon on his rocket cycle." We all started laughing.

"It kinda does, doesn't it?" Matt laughed.

"Okay, okay. I thought it was a bit goofy at first, but it kinda grows on you," Karen said.

"I don't know," I sighed. "Angel and Daredevil has a real ring to it."

Matt looked at me. "So does Daredevil and Angel." I smiled and then walked up to him. I grabbed his arm and got close to him, resting my chin on him shoulder. Then I whispered, "Don't get any ideas." He smiled, not being able to contain his chuckle.

"That is a serious upgrade." I straightened and then looked at Karen. She was still glued to the article. It was a cartoon drawing of Daredevil on the front. She was, like, drooling over it. If only she knew he was standing right next to her.

"I don't know, I think the horns are a bit much," Foggy said. "There. Done!" He stepped back and let us see the sign. "What do you think?" I let go of Matt's arm and he walked up to it. I watched as he fingered the letters. With everything he can do, it's hard to remember what he can't. Like the fact that he really can't see.

"I think I'm glad I fished it out of the trash," Karen said pointedly at Foggy.

He turned to her and smiled, "Me, too."

"Nelson and Murdock," Matt said as he turned around to face us. "Avocadoes at law." Foggy started laughing.

"Avocadoes?"

"Yeah, it's a long story," Foggy sighed.

"One I need to hear," I said.

"Which I do not have time to tell you." He glanced at his watch and then picked up his bag. "Promised Marci I'd help her find a new job, since most of the partners at Landman and Zack are under indictment." He kind of glanced at me, but I pretended not to notice.

"You two getting back together?" Karen asked hesitantly. I could feel the air slightly thicken and the mood change. Marci is a sore subject for all of us. One by one, we each found out about Foggy cheating on Alison with Marci. I think we all slightly hold a grudge.

"No. I don't know." He looked at me again. "Maybe." I smiled and nodded, pretending to be happy for him. And, I kinda am. He deserves to be happy with someone. I just don't like the way he went about doing it.

"Well, thank her for us," Matt said. "For everything she did to help us bring Fisk down."

"He still needs a trial," I said. "But she was a big part in that." Foggy smiled and nodded. "Oh, who's all going to Alison's grand opening?"

"I'll probably stop by at some point," Foggy said. "But, I gotta go." He waved and then left. I turned and looked at the others.

"I can't," Karen said. "I have a...thing, later. But, I need to get back to work." She smiled and then went to the door. She waved and then disappeared inside.

"That wasn't weird," I said as Matt chuckled. "What?"

"Nothing," he shook his head. I walked over to the building and leaned into the wall. "You still going to see your brother?"
