Chapter 142 - [BT] Legally Blind...

[Before Transition]

I begin to panic when I see the guy begin to press down on the trigger and I'm worrying if I've made a big mistake and I'm preparing to quickly dodge but even then I would've still left it too long and at best would come out with a shoulder wound but just when I've begun to doubt myself and move I notice some kind of red cylinder streak down from the darkness above the city and it impacts the gunman's hand knocking the gun out of his hand and to the floor and while I ignore the thugs panic I trace the trajectory of the red cylinder back up to the top of a building and I see standing there the person I've been looking for this entire time, the 'Devil' of Hell's Kitchen though I only caught a glimpse of the red silhouette atop the building before I lost sight of it almost immediately caught up in my panic and excitement at getting one step closer to achieving my objective but once I realise I've lost him it's not hard to find him again with my enhanced senses but I find myself surprised when I find him already dancing in the group of thugs across from since he moved with such speed and grace almost as if he was performing and he made every move with such precision and elegance that it almost looked scripted if not for the spurts of blood and the bowls of anguish he leaves in his wake as he moves through the crowd like a steamroller and no one can do anything to stop him so caught in their panic that they've all forgotten about the gun on the floor but even if they had remembered it wouldn't have meany anything since the red figure was blitzing through them with a speed that was superhuman and made me question my own ability since my showing was lackl.u.s.tre in comparison to the skill and speed shown by the man in front of me.

I watched on in utter amazement as the spectacle before me occurred and the man in red moved with a clinical professionalism as he utterly obliterated the men that had been hungry for my blood only a minute ago and he acted with a smoothness and calmness the befuddled me staying absolutely silent as he carried on with his work not even reacting to any of the queries thrown at him in the confusion by the men he was putting down so very quickly and I found myself marvelling at his skill, his finesse, his calm and his speed, before I had even knew what had happened (even though I watched him do it all with my own enhanced senses) he had laid out every man the ambushed me flat against the ground and out cold and I realised he had done it under a minute since I first saw him on top of the rooftop which made me feel like shit since it took me five times the amount of time it took him to lay out the other half of the guys that attacked me though I suppose it wouldn't be fair to compare ourselves like that since he was a trained superhero who was using his powers and everything in his tool belt while I am a slightly trained (read that minimally trained) guy with spider powers which I didn't even use in this battle so in the end I guess you can say I did what he did in five times the time but I was only using the ability of a regular human while he was using his powers so I think it's fair to say that if I used my own powers properly than I could have done it just as fast as him and I'm not just coming up with excuses for why he was so much better than me even though he clearly was but that doesn't really matter since I'm more of a Bill Nighy 'The Science Guy' who rarely gets involved in fights while he's a Mike Tyson who's liable to bite someone's ear off so I don't really see the need to get too upset about the difference between the both of us since fighting has t really been my goal though I do suppose I could devote more time to learn more since this was quite the bad showing today because I still used my enhanced senses to aid me and still did worse than him while all his superpower is is basically enhanced senses as well though he's definitely had more time and experience with using them.

I'm knocked out of my daze when I see the man clad in red leaving the midst of all the thugs he has just knocked out to head in my direction and I feel some trepidation as the guy is after all a Lawyer on top of being a superhero and I take in 'The Man Without Fear's appearance as he walks towards me which is made up of red gloves and boots which both went up his limbs stoping underneath the joint in his limbs, a darker red bodysuit which looked like a mix between spandex and leather somehow but it covered the rest of his body with armoured plates placed strategically through the suit though it was placed minimally and only on vital allowing for some protection while allowing the utmost agility and flexibility which fits the mans modus operandi, he had brown leather (or something that looks like leather) belt and holsters attached to both sides of his legs but instead of holding guns which are what most holsters are made for these ones have been specially made and fit in them the two billy clubs one of which he used earlier, the final feature I gazed upon was his mask which left his chin and nose uncovered while covering the rest of his head with red lenses covering the eyepieces as well as the two iconic small horns jutting out from opposite ends of his forehead which left no doubt as to who this man was and as if that wasn't enough then the two D's on his c.h.e.s.t that were overlapping one another in a diagonal manner made it clearly obvious just who the man walking towards me was.

The man was none other than the Dardevil otherwise known as Matt Murdock whose story began with his father Jonathan "Battling Jack" Murdock who raised Matt alone and Jack wanted his son to be more successful than him so he impressed upon Matt the need to constantly study instead of playing sports with other kids hoping that Matt might become a doctor or a lawyer instead of being like himself which led to the neighborhood bully's calling the "cowardly" Matt as "Daredevil" for some reason which I can't remember (seems like a pretty weird nickname to call someone your bullying) but one day Matt saw a blind man walking towards an oncoming truck and so he pushed the man out of the way and when the truck crashed a radioactive chemical or something spilled out striking Matt across the face and blinding him but it also resulted in his hearing, smell, taste, and touch being amplified to superhuman degrees as well as developing a "radar sense" like echolocation that formed a mental picture of his surroundings so it didn't really matter that he was blind now and I think he then received training from some ninja master or something and learned how to control his new abilities and honed his skills in acrobatics and martial arts, if I can recall his father Jack Murdock joined up with a crooked fight promoter/criminal who set up Jack to be a heavyweight contender in a boxing match just to have him take a dive but Jack refused and won his fight going against the criminal and after that Jack Murdock was shot dead by the criminal and his men which pushed the now orphaned Matt to search for his father's killers using his new abilities and skills to find the gang and then punish them severely but when he chased down and confronted the promoter/criminal who suffered from a heart attack and died before Matt could do anything but I think when Matt confronted him he ended up knocking a women out of the window and thought he killed her and so he ran away in horror over what he had done.

I'm pretty sure that is his origin story though I have no clue if that is the case in this universe though it's something to go by which is better than nothing but I don't actually know what happened after that but I think he went to Columbia or Harvard and got a law degree where he met Foggy Nelson his partner at his law firm and I think the assassin Elektra (I'm not ok sure about that) and I think he became Daredevil when he wanted to help one of the clients at the law firm he runs with Foggy Nelson and it ended up becoming a regular thing for him but apart from that I don't know a lot him or his capabilities but right now I need his help with a certain problem of mine and I'd rather fob it off on this guy than deal with it myself though I guess I am kinda dealing with it myself since this guy is my solution, hopefully this meeting will go well and I'll be able to achieve my objectives without disadvantaged myself or getting losses which should be easy enough.

He has reached me by this point and he looks me up and down before crossing his arms and directing a frown towards me, he stays silent for a moment before he decides to open his mouth and question me. "Huh, so you're him are you? The new vigilante that's been running around, the vigilante that caught that serial killer Cletus Kasady..."
