Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.
Chaos Sorcerer: Thanks for the review. Me too. That's one of the reasons his first two movies rock. Agreed on Felicity. Yeah, you were right. They were stakes in that scene. I think Marvel's versions don't have heartbeats. I will use that weakness. The Captain Marvel movie was pretty enjoyable. It's structure resembles a Phase 1 movie, kinda like the first Thor and Captain America, though they are both superior movies to it. The best things in the movie are what they did with the Skrulls and the mid-credits scene. But I agree, in the comics, she is a bitch. I hate her more than Riri Williams, and that's saying a lot. Though in the MCU, she has a good personality so far. I think the Russos will do a great job with her in Avengers: Endgame. Wow! It does sound like a parody of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" now that you say it. One of the best movies I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them. Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 14- More about vampires
About half an hour later, Felicity's window opened and The Hood climbed in, followed by Daredevil. As the latter closed the window, Felicity said, "You know you can use the door too, right?"
"And why are 2 vigilantes entering the home of a QC employee?" The Hood pointed out and she realized it was a bad idea.
"So you two are annoying blondie's friends, eh?" Blade said as the two noticed him.
"Hey!" An offended Felicity said.
"The Buffy joke is the worst thing I have ever heard." Blade said.
"So you are the man who saved her at the nightclub." Daredevil said and Blade nodded.
"What is your name?" The Hood asked.
"Blade." He said simply.
"And what are those creatures you hunt down?" Daredevil asked him.
"They're vampires." He simply said and they were both as shocked as Felicity, though they didn't show it.
"Vampires?" The Hood questioned in slight disbelief.
"Believe it or not, they're real." Blade said.
"Good thing John's not here." Felicity muttered.
To Daredevil, Blade seemed human so far. His heart was beating very steadily. His breath pattern was normal too. Though he still felt that Blade was no ordinary human.
"Why do you hunt them?" The Hood asked out of curiosity.
"I think you should keep your green ass from my business." Blade said unpleasantly.
Daredevil couldn't stop himself from saying, "Language!"
"You say "language" one more time and I'm gonna shove your horns up your red ass!" Blade said with the same amount of unpleasantness and Daredevil sighed.
"Why did you kill Dr. Webb?" Daredevil then asked.
"He was gonna turn into a vampire." Blade said simply, "But not on my watch."
"So, what can you tell us about vampires?" The Hood asked.
"A lot of stuff as I'm the only living expert on this matter right now." Blade said, feeling some sadness deep down as the statement made him remember Abraham Whistler for a moment, "As you already know, when a vampire bites another human, the human becomes a vampire unless killed as there is no cure right now. The vampires are immortal and can't die a natural death. Most vampires possess superhuman physical strength anywhere from 10 to 20 times greater than they possessed in their mortal lives."
"That's pretty strong." The Hood muttered.
"But you're strong too." Felicity remembered as she remembered his fight at the nightclub, "You seemed stronger than them."
"I'll talk about myself later." Blade said before continuing, "Some of them can also shape-shift into bats. And some really powerful ones can become wolves. And if you look at them long enough, they can mind control you too."
"Not a problem for me." Daredevil said.
"But they have weaknesses too." Blade said and their interest was piqued, "First of all, if they fail to consume human blood for more than a day, they would weaken and eventually perish. And they can't travel more than 100 miles from their place of birth unless they bring a pound of their native soil wherever they choose to sleep during the day."
"Dracula used to do that." Daredevil muttered as he remembered listening to the audiobook years ago.
"He sure did." Blade said and they were shocked.
"You're saying he was real too?" The Hood asked in astonishment.
"He was." Blade said, "But don't worry. Van Helsing killed him. His stolen diary fell into Bram Stoker's hands, who published it as the novel- Dracula."
"Well, just tell us more." The Hood said after recovering himself.
"A vampire's greatest weakness is sunlight. Direct exposure to sunlight causes vampires to explode." Blade told them, "And they have an aversion to religious symbols too, but that works only if they believed in that religion before being turned."
"Anything else?" Daredevil asked.
"Garlic." Blade said, "It weakens them enough to make them vulnerable to any attack. And impaling them through the heart. Wooden stakes are the best for that but turns out anything pointed, if driven into their hearts with sufficient force, can do the deed. Also, stuff made from silver."
"That's quite a lot." The Hood muttered.
"It sure is. Now about me", Blade said, "I'm a half-vampire."
"What?" Daredevil asked in shock.
"So that's why you can fight them." The Hood realized.
"I have all of their strengths, none of their weaknesses, except one." He said and took out a serum, "I feel the need to drink blood. But drinking this serum made from EDTA cures my bloodlust for a long while."
"How did you become this?" Daredevil asked out of curiosity.
"I told you both to keep your asses out of my business." Blade said, "Also, I age like a normal human."
The Hood then finally got down to business, "Now, you said we're going to find Edgar."
"We are." Blade said before lifting up Krieger, "This cop is a familiar. A vampire's property. If he proves himself loyal enough, he thinks his master will turn him. If another vampire tries to bleed this little hooker, they have to answer to his owner."
"So he will lead us to them, then." Daredevil said and Blade nodded before roughly lifting up Krieger, "Officer Krieger, you going to be a good little bloodhound, huh? Tell us where your master's other little dogs are, huh?"
"Y-y-yes!" He said hoarsely, "Just-just don't hit me again."
Daredevil grabbed him roughly and decked him hard sending him to the floor, "You try anything funny, and next time I will hit you so hard you will lose a few teeth."
Blade lifted him again and said to him, "A worthless piece of shit like you deserves that."
He then took out some stakes and handed them to Daredevil and The Hood, "Take these. You're gonna need 'em."
They took them and nodded in thanks.
"Now let's hunt the handsome dead man." Blade said, referring to Edgar as he shoved Krieger out.
Turning to Felicity, The Hood promised, "We'll get them."
"I know." She said.
"Come on." Daredevil said and they walked out, leaving Felicity behind.
Okay. I promise next chapter will have some action and something really interesting too.
Hope you enjoy.
