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...
After visiting Potter I knew I had to finish up my work as a PI before going back out there to take on Fisk as well as Matt. I could see Foggy hasn't taken the news of Matt and I being those vigilantes well since he left Nelson and Murdock the day he found out. Karen was still in the dark about everything but she was so focused on taking down the company that burned her she didn't seem to notice. She did approach me to ask me for my help with spying on them but I told her that it wouldn't be wise given the facts she gave me. It wasn't that I didn't want to help her it was just I couldn't as Thea, and I couldn't tell her who I really was without exposing Matt's secret as well. I was doing some research when I noticed the twitch in my hand returned, I took my hand again into mine running my fingers across my palm hoping it would stop.
"It was self defense..." I whispered to my hand like it was going to stop twitching but surprisingly it worked. Sighing I returned to my work placing my pen to my lips when the office door opened and I didn't have to even remove my eyes from my laptop to know it was Matt. His stick clicked on the doorway before he walked in and shut the door like he was afraid someone would overhear. "Well...the way you are acting means this isn't a normal conversation we are about to have. So what's up?" Removing my pen from my lips and leaned back in my chair when Matt winced taking the seat in front of me.
"I found someone that was working with the Triad...the same one that blew Vladimir's warehouse a few weeks back. I followed them and found the location where the Triads are located." Matt started with a slight heavy breath, my eyes glanced down to see he was clutching his side and I saw some blood poking from his shirt. He definitely ripped one of the many stitches open with the parkour he had done. "We take them down tonight...remove the product off the field and then we can corner Fisk."
"Alright but first...you need to clean that up." I answered pointing out his injury which he nodded as I closed my computer and we headed to his place. Nightfall we were standing on the roof outside of the warehouse Matt found as I saw it was heavily guarded. Matt and I crept towards the entrance taking out the armed guards with ease until entering the base. Quietly we moved through the building until we saw a group of people preparing the drugs for delivery but they didn't see us. Looking over at Matt he seemed confused too as he touched one of them and we saw their eyes looked like someone deliberately blinded them. All of them. "They're blind..." Before Matt could even speak someone yelled in Chinese causing us to snap our heads above. It was Gao who seemed to be commanding her servants to attack us where they surrounded us making it hard for me to grab an arrow or Matt to move.
"Let us go!" Matt yelled but they didn't listen as I saw Gao making her escape and I knew it was time to unleash the new arrow I created. I managed to grab it with my hand as my back hit the column behind me with more of the people on me.
"Mask cover your ears!" I yelled Matt clutched his ears when I slammed the arrow's tip into the column above me. A loud sonic screech rang out causing everyone around us to scatter from the pain, my ears hurt slightly but it was worth it. I threw the arrow in the distance to keep the group distracted before moving to Matt pulling him with me.
"Where the hell did you get that?" Matt asked as we began to run towards the stairs where Gao was heading to cut her off.
"I'll explain later...she's getting away." I answered we managed to cut her off as two of her men surrounded her with guns. Bracing the one with my bow I applied pressure until he collapsed unconscious and Matt took out the other one. Fire ignited from the bullets he fired next to us as we both turned to look at Gao. She was an older woman with a cane, someone look incapable to hurt anyone but looks can be deceiving.
"You blinded them?" Matt accused in which we took a step towards her but she wasn't afraid of us or what we could do.
"They blinded themselves." she answered before I could react Matt charged at her where Gao slammed her hand to Matt's chest knocking him a good distance backwards. Once Matt hit the floor I charged swinging a few moves which she expertly dodged with ease before catching my arm and putting me in the pin. She scanned me for a moment especially looking into my eyes almost like she could see something. Before I could even react she cracked my arm and send me towards Matt to the floor. Glancing up she was gone as I look at Matt who was confused by what just happened.
"That was one tough old lady." I gasped stretching my sore shoulder before seeing Matt nodded yes to my opinion. The fire begins to spread as we managed to get the blind group out of the building before we moved down the alleyway nearby.
"Freeze! Hands up!" a familiar voice ordered it was Detective Brett Mahoney turning slightly Matt had his hands up and I could see Brett's gun was aimed at us. His eyes fell onto me while my hand was tightened onto the bow. "Drop your weapon!" I obeyed when Brett moved towards him to handcuff us but Matt was quicker to pin his arms behind Brett's back.
"We didn't kill Blake...it was his partner Hoffman." Matt answered starting pushing Brett forward in which he face planted to the gravel. My hands quickly snatched my bow then grab my grapple arrow in case we needed it and had it ready to go. "They were working with Fisk...there are others working with him in your unit."
"We aren't the bad guys here Mahoney." I added watched Brett turn to look at the both of us from the ground.
"Yeah? Then what are you?" Brett asked Matt took off to the fire escape leaving me standing there until he vanished onto the roof. I lift my arrow firing it at the same roof looking down at Mahoney who was waiting for an answer.
"Your only hope." I answered the grapple snagged and I was lifted into the sky vanishing from his view, hoping that he would believe that but then again no one could be fully trusted right now.
