So this is my sequel to 'The Devil and The Hood.' Hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 1- A new threat
"Well, Mr. Specter", Matt said to the man in front of him, "I think it would be better if we just settle this issue outside the court."
"Yeah", Harvey Specter said, sounding really calm.
"Spider-Man really is frustrated with the Bugle", Matt said, "But we need to save Mr. Jameson's face too. So this is the best option"
"Yeah, it sure is", Specter said with a sigh.
"I know", Matt said, "My client doesn't even want monetary compensation. He just wants the Bugle to stop calling him a dangerous criminal. It's affecting his psyche."
Harvey tried to say, "Well, he man has been implicated in a number of robberi-"
"In all those cases, the robbers were caught and the loot was returned", Matt pointed out.
"Well then, see you at the Bugle on the due date", Harvey Specter said as Matt nodded. The two shook hands firmly.
"Murdock", Harvey said, "With Foggy gone, this must be really difficult for you. What do you say, you want to join me, Mike, Rachel and Donna at Pearson and Hardman?"
"No", Matt said, "I think I will manage just fine on my own. Thanks for the offer though."
"Your choice", Harvey shrugged and walked away after the two lawyers exchanged a nod. The two were enemies in court and other legal matters but they were on friendly terms outside.
Matt then started reading and signing some papers when he heard a familiar heartbeat.
He looked up as Natasha walked towards him. Her hair were just as long and red as the last time they had met. But instead of her black catsuit, she was wearing casual clothes.
"Hello, Matt", she said with a smile as Matt got up.
"Hi, Natasha", Matt said with a smile as the two hugged.
"How are you?" she asked.
"I'm good", Matt said as he sat back down and Natasha sat on the chair in front of him, "Just doing my lawyer stuff. But tell me, to what do I owe this visit?"
"Well, I am still wondering how to phrase it accurately", Natasha said.
"Just say it", Matt said, "I don't think you will hurt my feelings in any way."
"That's what I am afraid of", she said.
"Okay, what is it?" Matt asked, his interest piqued.
"There is this visitor we have got recently", Natasha started explaining, "He's….not from around here. He calls himself Loki. He is from Asgard. And he has stolen something."
"What?" Matt asked.
"Something S.H.I.E.L.D. calls the Teserract", Natasha said, "Based on the intelligence we have got so far, he wants to wage war on humanity."
"Oh, my God!" Matt sighed, "And you're telling me this because?"
"You know why", she said.
"Oh, come on", Matt said in an annoyed tone, "You know I left the Devil behind."
"The Devil is something you can never leave behind, Matt", Natasha said with a serious look in her eyes, "And tell me, if you had to save these people from a threat they can't fight by themselves, wouldn't you?"
Matt had no reply to her.
"As I expected", Natasha said, "We contacted Oliver too."
"Oh!" Matt said simply, "So I guess an archery contest must be going on between him and Clint currently."
"Not really", Natasha said with a sigh, "Loki has this powerful stick. He used it to mind-control Clint and a scientist of ours."
"What?" Matt asked.
"You see why I am here now", Natasha said.
Matt got up and said with a sigh, "Okay. I am coming. But I'm not going to fight anyone."
"We'll see about that", Natasha said with a smirk as the two started walking out, "How's Laurel?"
"Laurel", Matt said with another sigh, "Been a while since we talked."
"I think you two had something good going on there", Natasha said, "Don't do things you will regret later."
"Just take me to your base", Matt said firmly and Natasha started walking out, with him following.
So yes. The first few chapters of this story will follow the first Avengers movie, with Matt, Oliver and Peter added.
If you don't remember, I did say that I am not following the MCU timeline in this so the first two seasons of Daredevil took place before 'The Avengers.'
These few chapters will be about how Matt learns to be a hero again. The kind of hero the people can be content with.
After that, I will be adapting some comic-book storylines into this hopefully
And Harvey Specter's cameo is going to remain a cameo. I won't be involving "Suits" in this story (unless the plot asks for it somehow). I got this little idea from the fic- "Specter vs. Murdock" by "Overherenow." So thank you to him.
Please review. I always appreciate your feedback.
