Chapter 8: Past Wounds
Daredevil moved as Elektra came down on him with her Sais before he brought his Billy Clubs up to block another strike, "What do you mean that Fisk is your father?!" He shouted
Elektra looked amused, "You sound surprised Matt and here I thought that it was hard to surprise you." She barely missed his shoulder, "Didn't you think that it was strange how I knew exactly what he was going to do? How he knows your identity?"
Daredevil glared at her knowing that it makes sense but that didn't make it any easier, "So everything we talked about was a lie?" He asked hoping to God that she would say no.
But God wasn't on his side that day, "What do you think Murdock?"
She threw a Sai but Daredevil knocked it away with his Billy Club but she came at him from above her remaining Sai about to go through his head when a new sound came and a Birdarang knocked it out of her hand.
"You okay Daredevil?" Robin asked as he landed next to him and in a second the rest of the Titans followed.
Elektra chuckled, "And here I thought that it was just the two of us enjoying our alone time Daredevil!"
Daredevil frowned. She's not calling me Matt in front of the Titans?
"Think again Elektra!"
Cyborg's eyes widened, "Wait! That's Elektra? The girl who the Kingpin killed a few years ago?!"
"Yes but her dear old dad set it up!" To say that the Titans were shocked would be an understatement.
Robin pulled out his Bo-Staff, "Titans Go!" He charged with Daredevil while Starfire shot a prepared a Starbolt, Cyborg activated his Sonic Cannon, Beast Boy turned into a charging Rhino and Raven used her powers to throw a dumpster.
Elektra frowned and threw down a smoke bomb, "We'll continue this little reunion later Daredevil." When it cleared she was gone along with her Sais.
Daredevil punched the wall in anger drawing attention to him, "DD you okay?" Cyborg asked before mentally smacking himself.
"No," Daredevil snarled, "I just can't believe that I was so stupid to trust her and not see this coming."
"Come on dude, don't blame yourself." Beast Boy grinned.
"Friend Beast Boy is right Devil of the Dare!" Starfire said with a smile, "Come, we must celebrate our victory!"
"Uh Starfire the bad guys got away so we can't really celebrate." Robin pointed out.
"Come on y'all we should at least look for her and Killgrave!" Cyborg suggested
"And what?" Raven asked, "Have him control our minds again?"
"Speaking of which how are you able to resist his ability?" Robin asked walking up to Daredevil, "The rest of us fell like sitting ducks while you were able to shrug it off."
"It's none of you damn business bird boy!" Daredevil snarled, "We've only been a team for what? Two weeks? And you expect me to tell you every one of my strength just because you asked?"
He had it with Robin and his oversized ego, he just found out that the girl that he loved was the daughter of the Kingpin and that she used him to further her father's goals.
"Look it's not like that!" Robin tried to tell him but Daredevil walked off.
"I'm better off by myself." He didn't look back until he heard a heartbeat following him, "What do you want Cyborg?"
"What is going on with you Daredevil?" He asked, "You're usually the calm one and yet you yelled at Robin."
"He had it coming, he's been acting like he owned the city ever since the Titans formed!" Daredevil told her, "Now leave me alone!"
"You talked to me when I tried to leave and now I'm returning the favor DD." Cyborg said calmly, "When you calm down just return to the Tower and talk it out with Robin."
With that he left Daredevil alone.
Daredevil left and walked off to the Graveyard where he saw Elektra's Gravestone and he was lost in his memories.
(Two Years ago)
Matt was training with his Gymnastics when he heard the door to the gym open up and he heard two girls talking before one of them gasped and he realized that his sunglasses were off which showed his scarred eyes from the accident so he jumped down and grabbed them.
"Sorry." He apologized.
"No, we're sorry!" One of them said before she looked at her friend, "Aren't we Phoebe?"
Phoebe blushed in embarrassment, "Sorry about that, I'm Phoebe Macalister!"
"And I'm Elektra." The other girl said, "Who are you?"
"… Matt Murdock."
Phoebe gasped, "Wasn't your father Battling Murdock?"
Matt sighed in annoyance, "Yeah he was."
"Don't mind her," Elektra said, "She's just a fan of his."
"HEY!"
Elektra chuckled, "Well we're sorry we interrupted what you were doing… What were you doing anyway?"
Matt allowed himself a small smile, "I was doing Gymnastics."
Elektra frowned, "But with your eyes like that isn't it too dangerous?"
Now Matt frowned, "Just because I'm blind doesn't mean I'm helpless."
"Well can we see a show?" Phoebe asked with a smile
Normally Matt wouldn't show off with his Gymnastic Skills but he didn't see the harm in it, "Sure why not."
In a few minutes he was showing the girls all the flips that he could do when he heard Phoebe whisper to Elektra, "You got the hots for him don't you?" She asked not realizing that she might as well have been shouting for Matt's heightened hearing.
Matt himself was surprised to hear that but he didn't show it.
Elektra blushed at her friends question, "Maybe I do… He's cute."
"Then ask him out girl!"
At that moment Matt felt like the luckiest guy in the world.
(Present Time)
He remembered that day very well. That day was the reason why he couldn't bring himself to believe what Elektra herself said to him a few minutes ago.
"Why?!" He asked loudly, "WHY DID YOU DO THIS?!"
He took his mask off and rubbed his hand against the tombstone again.
(Flashback)
Matt laughed. It's been three weeks since he met Elektra and they were officially a couple as of now. He was going to visit his Dad in prison the next day but right now all that mattered was the two of them.
"So any chance I can meet Mr. Murdock?" Elektra asked with the smile that Matt loved.
"I don't know." Matt teased, "There's no telling what he'll say to a pretty lady like you!"
Matt loved spending time with her. He hoped that his father would accept her into the family.
But the next day got even worse.
Matt walked into the visiting center with Elektra's arm hooked with his when he saw an Ambulance pull up and they were putting his father in there, "WHAT HAPPENED?!"
The Police Officers held him back, "There was a prison shanking son he's heading to the Hospital!"
"Who did this?!" Matt snarled in anger
"We can't tell you-!" Before the Police Officer could continue Elektra walked up to him.
"Tell him what he wants!" She said and as the Police Officer got a good look at her his eyes widened and his heart started to race.
"It was a man named Fixer!" He said in fear, "He broke out while we were getting Murdock to the Medics!"
Matt gave Elektra an incredulous stare which was saying something since he was blind, "How did you do that?" He asked as they walked away.
She smiled, "Oh I have my ways!" Then she looked serious, "What do you plan on doing?"
Matt was silent for a few moments, "I'm going to kill him."
"Matt you can't do that!" Elektra said, "You can't expect to fight a criminal with your condition and win!"
And that was when he appeared.
"Oh can he?" They both spun around to see or in Matt's case sense an old withered man wearing a black bowler hat and a black suit with his own cane and his eyes were pure white without any pupils.
"Who are you?!" Matt asked cautiously.
The man smiled, "You can call me Stick and I can help you get your revenge that you so desire!"
Elektra shook her head, "Come on Matt let's go."
Matt was about to listen when Stick spoke up again, "I can help you master your powers." As he said that Matt froze and Elektra also froze wondering what he was talking about, "Oh yes, I know all about your sonar sense that allows you to see without the use of your eyes! You can read by running your fingers over the ink, you can hear whispers all across the city and you can tell who a person is by heartbeat, footstep, voice or smell!"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!" Matt shouted shocking Elektra that what Stick said was true, "I NEVER TOLD ANYONE ABOUT THAT! NOT EVEN MY FATHER KNOWS!"
Stick merely grinned, "Oh I have my ways kiddo and I can teach you how to use those senses of yours to fight back against all the injustice that was done to you!"
"… Why me?" Matt asked after a few seconds of silence.
At hearing that Stick did the last thing that he expected, he laughed, "Why you? Why not? This world moves in mysterious ways kiddo and I'm the only one who can teach you how to control your powers."
Matt sensed Elektra looking at him accusingly and he knew that he would be in the doghouse later but he looked right at Stick, "I'll do it."
(Present Time)
Daredevil felt a tear fall down his face. It was a year after Elektra's death that Stick fell ill and died of lung cancer saying that his job was done.
He heard a footstep behind him, "I knew that you were going to come here."
Matt turned to see Elektra, "What do you want?" He asked harshly
"I want to talk to you Matt." Elektra sighed, "I'm sorry for putting you through so much pain."
"You think that makes it all right?" Matt asked, "That it'll fix things?"
"I understand." Elektra said, "But Kingpin is my father and I stand by him."
Matt's face softened up, "Elektra, we all have a choice!" He walked forward and put a hand on her shoulder, "You can still walk away from the Kingpin and come back with me to the Titans we can put the Kingpin in jail!"
Elektra moved forward and kissed Matt's cheek, "I'm sorry Matt but it isn't as easy as that." With that she disappeared into the shadows leaving Matt alone inside the cemetery.
Sighing Matt looked at the Gravestone again before he slid his mask back on and he walked back to the Tower intending to apologize to the Titans.
(One Year Ago)
Stick was on his deathbed as Matt stood by him, "Please don't die." Matt begged with tears sliding down his face.
Stick chuckled but it quickly turned into more coughing, "I'm sorry kiddo but this is it for me, I've been on borrowed time for quite a while. And frankly I've taught you everything you need to know."
"But-!"
"But nothing Matt!" Stick interrupted him, "We all have to die someday and my story is one of the many thousands in this world! The world will not mourn when it ends!"
Matt wiped the tears away, "Yes sir."
"You'll do me proud Matt!" Stick said as his heart slowed down, "You'll prove your father proud too you little Daredevil."
