Hell's Kitchen, a city filled with crime causes the actions of two to restore order to the city. The man, Matt Murdock, a lawyer who was blinded as a child gaining superhuman senses and the woman, Thea Archer, a private investigator who is Matt's ch...
Matt was cleaning up the damaged Stick did to his apartment while I was finishing up dealing with the bloody nose I received. Once I felt the blood flow stop from my nose I tossed the blood stained napkin into the garbage bin. Glancing down at my quiver that was on the floor as I moved towards it taking out the arrow I laced Stick's arrowhead one. Pulling the arrowhead off the shaft I twirled it in my fingers before narrowing my eyes onto the liquid.
"Bastard...should've known what this was." I hissed silently until I heard Matt shuffle the broken pieces into the trash bin behind him.
"What is that?" Matt asked I stood up moving towards him with the vial in my hand and Matt moved a bit closer to me.
"It's probably different things...could be glutamate or nitric oxide mixed with epinephrine. It's basically a neuro-toxin that is tasked with destroying the nervous system of the victim, the epinephrine will cause the heart to race and cause it to spread a lot more quickly. It probably would've killed him in the matter of seconds. I should've known that Stick had something planned." I explained angrily slamming my hand onto my thigh while Matt traced his fingers across the arrowhead. Shaking my head I then used my hand to rub my aching forehead before turning to look at Matt. "Another test from Stick...he was hoping that I would kill that kid to prove to him that I could be just like him."
"You're not Thea..." Matt explained silently before handing me the arrowhead which I just tossed it into the trash bin next to me. I was sure in hell that didn't want to have that in my possession. "I can't believe that Stick would kill an innocent child."
"That makes two of us." I answered leaning on the arm rest of his couch with my arms onto my knees when Matt placed his on his hips.
"You were with him...the whole time you were gone?" Matt exclaimed I snapped my head up to Matt who was giving me a questionable expression.
"I left five years ago...I would hope that Stick would've stayed far away. He wanted me to become a weapon, a killer like him and I refused. I went with him because he told me that I had something inside me that he could help me unlock. For fifteen years I trained and the one thing I would never do is become an executioner. They all did but I never would let myself darken my soul like that." I explained watching Matt tilt his head to the side, he was listening to my heartbeat to see if I was lying to him. I was trained to control my heartbeat so even if I was lying then it would remain steady. "Matt...you know me better then anyone. I never could lie to you and I never will."
"I believe you, Thea." He answered his blank stare gazing over in which I sighed with relief bracing my hands to my face. My head was pounding until I heard Matt clearing his throat snapping my head up to him. "You were right about one thing..."
"What's that?" I asked watching him take a seat next to me on the couch, his blank stare moved slightly into my direction but he was staring forward.
"That I was going to need your help with this mission. The city is going to need the both of us to protect it from people like Stick and Fisk." Matt began I gave him a small nod agreeing with what he was talking about. This City was going to need the both of us to protect it as a small smile formed onto his face. "What do you say? Partners?"
"I thought you would never ask." I smiled seeing him hold out his hand and I chuckled taking it giving it a good firm shake sealing the deal.
