Stories of the MCU

Chapter 2: the Owl

Warning: spoilers for the Daredevil Netflix series.

Months after being caught and arrested thanks to that meddlesome costumed vigilante, Wilson Fisk had managed to escape with the help of his beloved Vanessa who gave him a message saying she was taking advantage of a panic caused by something about a World War II terrorist group called Hydra but Fisk thought the details could be saved for later. He had two main objectives in his mind: being reunited with Vanessa and getting revenge on that vigilante that they are now calling Daredevil. He and his escort were now attacked by a man in black armor.

"So you heard about my escape and wanted to drag me back to jail..." Wilson said getting up and saw that the man did not look like the vigilante he had to deal with before going to prison. "Who are you..." Fisk asked realising this might not be the same guy with the dark smile that the man was giving him. He heard laughing and saw a red haired man in a green business suit walk right next to the man.

"Sorry if my associate Mr Lester here came here looking a bit too intimidating." said the man who gave a sinister grin as he approached Fisk, "I came here to Hell's Kitchen after I learned what happened to my dad and I hoped with time I could build my own criminal empire here." the man said looking at the standing Wilson Fisk who was now staring him in the eye "Mr Lester is an assassin I have hired for my own protection and if there is someone I need to be put away with." The costumed man called Lester pulled out a knife ready to use if Fisk tried something.

"There is something to take advantage of now that everyone is scared about how we learned that our top world security force had been infiltrated by Hydra terrorists." The man said looking quite casual as he spoke "of course there are still obstacles to overcome, like that Daredevil that took you and your empire down as well as reports of some arachnid vigilante in a Halloween costume."

"So what do you suppose that we do?" Fisk asked not looking intimidated at all by the man or Lester his assassin bodyguard. The man put his hand to his chin and began walking in a circle as if he was pondering something. Fisk noticed that on the back of the man's jacket was a picture of an owl that was tailored into the jacket. "Well, I am waiting and if I don't get an answer in a minute then you could end up like the idiot who dared to interupt my first date with Vanessa." Fisk said with a look to Lester as if he was daring him to try and make a move. Lester made a move to try and get a strike at Fisk but the man put out his hand that told him to stay put for a second. Lester did not look happy but nonetheless complied.

The man stopped and then faced Fisk and said "I am suggesting that we team up, these vigilantes can be dealt with if we work together. You already have experience with the Daredevil and with the resources I am putting together we can not only rebuild the empire that you have lost but also make it better and stronger than it ever had been." Fisk's face showed that he was not entirely convinced. "Come on Fisk, think about it. You did well building an empire in the ruins of the alien incident and think of the business and profit we could create out of the damage HYDRA is causing as well as the damage that will be caused by those who choose to fight against them." The man said to Fisk but then his face and demeanour grew more serious as well as the tone of his voice in what he said next "or if you prefer, I could arrange for you to be sent back to prison where you will rot for the rest of your life since most of your men as well are behind bars so I personally feel this is the best deal you can get right. So are you interested or have you gotten too used being in prison and want to go back?"

Fisk then gave him a smile and said "I think as long as our goals are similar, then I can work with you." Fisk was already thinking of plans to get rid of this man and Lester when he has some of his power back. The man smiled as he motioned Fisk to start following him and Lester. "By the way while you have told me the name of your lackey, I don't think you have actually introduced yourself. I prefer having a name to refer to my associates by." Fisk said looking pleased at the agitation of Lester's face at his lackey comment.

"Oh that's right, I am known as Lee Owlsley." The man said shaking Fisk's hand but he then added with a serious dark tone "I believe you have met and already worked with my father before his tragic death." As Fisk was following Owlsley he realised this was the son that Leland Owlsley had talked about before and with that knowledge he was grinning to himself. If Lee repeated the mistake his father made of seriously crossing him then he can arrange for him to be reunited with his father.

This was inspired by reading the TV tropes pages of the show and seeing that people think that in a future season Leland's Owlsley's son that was mentioned Lee should show up and become the Owl like his dad did in the comics. Personally I don't mind how Owlsley was used in the show but then again I am one of the few who actually like how they used the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. The reference to Spidey is because Kevin Fiege has confirmed that a young Peter Parker is using a homemade suit in the MCU right now but we don't know it yet (or at least we didn't until he told us). Speaking of Spidey, the next chapter involves who I would use as the villain of the MCU Spider-Man movie if it was me who was making it.
