Welcome to season 3 of Daredevil!
Foggy Nelson's POV
I sat up abruptly in my bed, panting and rubbing my eyes. Another nightmare depicting Matt's dead body laying in the rubble of the fallen building. I look out the windows of my bedroom and see the still dark, New York sky. It's 3:00am, the witching hour. It makes perfect sense I would have a dream of my gone best friend. I'm shaken from my thoughts by insistent knocking on the front door of Marci and I's apartment. I cautiously make my way out of the bedroom and to the main area. The knocking continues. Who could be here at two in the morning? I grab an umbrella and slowly open the door. A woman stands in the hallway with her back to me, concealed by her dark clothes and the knit hood poking out of her leather jacket. She turns around to face me. I gasp as I stare back at the face of Holly Kiera. Her eyes look tired and her cheeks are ever so slightly sunken in, as if she hasn't eaten in awhile. Her typically hazel eyes are puffy like she's been crying. Her hair is not the glossy and voluminous cascade of light brown waves it used to be. Instead her hair is asymmetrically cut to barely brush her shoulders, looking almost stringy and unhealthy.
"Foggy..." and embraces me before she pulls her hood off. I stand here in a daze. Holly has been missing for a year, presumed dead.
"How...you look like you've just crawled out of your grave." I gulp.
"I have." She pulls away from me.
"Okay please tell me that's a metaphor." My voice cracks and wavers.
"Foggy...I've lost everything...including my sanity so please don't push me." Holly blinks and shifts her stance like a madman fresh from a mental asylum. She seems almost impatient. Very unusual from the cool hearted Holly I once knew, who could be falling off a cliff and never panic the whole way down. The Holly that was smooth under pressure seems to be gone.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Foggy...I was forced to watch my sister's murder, my own father tried to kill me too many times, one of my half sisters is gone and the other is missing. I've let the darkness consume me and it's like Phantom and I are two different people." Holly cries.
"What do you mean?" I guide Holly to my couch and have her take a seat.
"I used to be Holly Kiera during the day and Phantom at night. Now that the Darkness has taken over, I'm Holly for what I can manage...Stick explained it to me as this; there's two souls in one body, mine and the Darkness. My soul is stronger than The Darkness, until I fell into this depression and the Darkness gained strength. My soul spends all its time fighting off the Darkness until it's too tired to, that's when it goes into a slumber and the Darkness takes over. I've been able to recognize the pattern. I'm me during the day...but then sometimes when I'm getting ready for bed I blackout. When I wake up, I'm on the ground somewhere random, sometimes my apartment, sometimes anywhere else and I'm dressed in my Phantom suit, wig and mask." Holly explains.
"Jesus..." I put my face in my hands.
"I don't know what to do..." Holly sighs.
"Stick would've known what to do..." I huff.
"Look I gotta find Matt." Holly urges.
"Hol...I hate to be the messenger but Matt is gone. Three months ago a building fell on him." I say slowly and sympathetically.
"Fuck...I really have lost everything..." Holly says quietly as tears begin to drip off her face.
"No true. You have me and Karen...always Hol'." I grab her hand and squeeze it.
"I freezed my assets while I was with the Avengers. I need to reopen my bank account, in the mean time I need a place to stay." I sigh.
"You can stay with Marci and I. We have a couch." I offer.
"No no no...that's kind but when the Darkness takes over I don't want the people I love to be around." Holly stands up abruptly and begins to pace. I'm honestly shocked. The Holly I knew never used the "L" word, let alone told people how she felt.
"You were with the Avengers?" I clarify.
"My half sisters are on the team and needed my help." Holly shrugs.
"This all is so crazy." I stand up, off the couch.
"I know, I know...I was hoping Matt could help me." Holly blinks.
"I'm sorry...look you want to keep away a demon right? What better than a church? Matt used to talk about the catholic orphanage he used to live in. Maybe they owe him a favor." I think aloud.
"That's brilliant. Maybe the sanctity will keep it away." Holly nods.
"Let's get moving, tomorrow morning." I conclude.
"Okay..." Holly nods and fidgets with her hands, anxiously. I go and fetch a pillow and blanket from the bedroom and Holly removes her shoes and leather jacket.
"If you need anything I'm in the other room." I smile as I reach for the light switch.
"Thanks Foggy." Holly offers a broken smile.
"Good night Holly." I nod before turning out the light.

Agent Nadeem's POV
I stood next to special agent Poindexter and stared at the computer monitor that viewed the monster in a cage, himself, Wilson Fisk.
"Thanks Dex for saving me earlier. I owe you one." I smile at Dex.
"Uh Yeah...of course." Dex nods.
"Maybe we can catch Daredevil or Phantom...maybe Fisk knows them." I sigh and rub the back of my neck.
"I don't know...that Phantom girl...think she's as crazy as people say she is?" Dex asks.
"Eyewitness account says she's completely sane just a super human. Like the Avengers or something." I shrug.
"Yeah..." Dex says as we stare quietly at the monitor.
