Authours notes. Big big thanks to Superfan for pointing out a few mistakes I made with Green Lantern not hiding the battery. Let's just say he was stressed out and forgot. And I know everyone saw the BIG mistake in chapter 2. That happened when I was uploading itand I don't know how to fix it. Sorry.

And I'm also very sorry that it took me a while to get this update. Blame writers block and teething trouble with my new pc.


Matt was lost in thought. Kyle had left a moment earlier to find a coffee machine. What was playing heavily on Matt's mind was one simple question. How had Kyle gotten Ben here so fast? There was no doubt in Matt's mind that Kyle hadn't been lying about being with Ben when he was injured. But there was definitely something he wasn't being completely honest about. Matt could always tell when someone was lying. He could hear faint changes in a persons voice, even hear any changes in their heart rate. Matt's mind wandered back to the blackness, the complete stillness that had surrounded Green Lantern when he had spoken to him outside his office, and the same anomaly that his radar sense picked up around Kyle's hand albeit in smaller amounts. The attack must have happened at the same time that he had been at the office. He could still sense Kyle even though he was a few corridors away now. The anti-sound patches marking him better than a neon sign. Anti-sound, Matt mused; Foggy had told him about Green Lantern. According to Foggy he could make anything he wanted out of green light that became solid. After realising how absurd this explanation sounded Matt was forced to wonder for a second how Foggy would have ever made it through law school without him. There would be a real explanation but it wasn't one Matt could come up with right now. Anti-sound was a term Matt had come up with to try to make sense of what his radar was showing him. The 'light' or whatever it was that was Green Lantern's power either made so little sound that it was practically still or was a type of white noise that cancelled each and every other sound that came from it out. Green Lantern himself had probably never heard the term 'Anti-sound'. Matt sat back and listened for Kyle when something caught his attention. Two nurses were talking in the next room.

"Is that really THE Ben Urich? From the Daily Bugle?"

"That's what it says on his notes, why?"

"Why? He's famous! He wrote those stories about The Kingpin, Spiderman and even Daredevil"

"You really read those things?"

"Of course! And did you hear? Becky says that it was Green Lantern that brought him here"

"Those are just rumors"

Matt ignored the rest of their conversation. He had been talking to Green Lantern when Ben had been attacked. But Kyle had been with Ben. Matt was a lawyer, he thought like a lawyer. It wasn't possible for one person to be in two places, but could there be two people, two Green Lanterns?

The nurse called Becky was working on reception. It was boring. Answering phones was not the reason she had became a nurse. If she had wanted to do that for a living she would have become a secretary. She was busy filling her time by sorting out some patient records when an orderly came past her, followed by a tall, muscular man wearing form fitting purple and orange. The orderly shot her a look as he went past, then the other man leaned in.

"I'm looking for Mr. Ben Urich, can you help me?" He smiled a predatory smile that showed off all of his teeth. Becky wasn't prepared to argue with a man who could smile like that.

Agent Gerrins had been grounded. The incident at Josie's Bar had not been looked upon favourably by his superiors. He was now confined to deskwork and had had the cost of the repair work taken out of his wages. He was currently sharing his woes with another agent on desk duty. A man named Roberts who wore huge glasses and had the most annoying voice Gerrins had ever heard. He was talking just so that he didn't have to listen to Roberts prattle.

"Hello boyo's" said a loud, arrogant voice. Gerrins looked up to see the distinctive black mask with a white target on the forehead. The grin on Bullseye's face could challenge even Major Force's razor sharp smile.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Roberts wheezed as he and Gerrins drew their guns. Bullseye shook his head. His smile never wavered once.

"Now, I'd have thought that a cushy government job like yours would pay enough for a man to afford decent glasses. Look at this" He plucked the glasses off Roberts's face. "The lenses pop right out"

Gerrins blinked. When asked later he was completely unable to say what happened. The next thing he knew was that Roberts had fallen dead behind his desk. Bullseye turned his attention to him.

"Now you look like a smart man. Let's find out how smart" He held up a picture "can you find out who these people are?"

Gerrins looked over to where Roberts's body lay. Suddenly working fast seemed like a very good idea.

Something was bothering Kyle. Matt had known about Bullseye, and now Major Force was involved. Did Matt know that too? No, that was just being paranoid. Ben had said that Bullseye was a mercenary; it was likely that it had been Major Force who had hired him. But then why had Force gone after Ben himself? It just didn't add up. Why would Major Force even hire a hitman in the first place? He usually preferred to do his own dirty work. Either way there had to be something about Matt. Trained killers don't usually have much to do with successful lawyers. It was always possible that Matt had been involved in some type of court case involving Bullseye but somehow Kyle doubted it. Then there was the incident with the knife to consider. After everything that had happened Kyle had almost forgotten it, but now it pushed its way to the front of his brain.

A sudden scream tore its way through the ordered calm of the hospital, shattering the stillness of the corridor. The corridor he was in was empty. Switching to Green Lantern he raced off in the direction of the screams, mentally cursing himself. He had done nothing about Major Force! He had just sped off with Ben to the hospital. It wouldn't take a genius to find them. Kyle burst into the room where he had Matt had been talking mere moments ago to find his fears confirmed. Major Force had found them and Matt Murdock was nowhere to be seen. His glasses lay on the ground.

"Well, well, you certainly aren't the sharpest tool in the box, are you?" Force smirked as he advanced, crushing Matt's glasses underfoot.

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" Kyle spat out the first thing that entered his head. There were too many people in the hospital to risk any kind of fight. Maybe if he could lure Force to the roof he could find a way out.

"A bit blunt, I expected better of you. I should have known that the assassin would fail. Oh well, we live and learn" Force said. That confirmed it; it was Major Force who hired Bullseye.

"What's wrong, are you getting old? Now you've got to hire someone to do your jobs for you?" Kyle taunted, trying to goad him into action. If they could just get to the roof…

"Vulgar, even by your standards" Force began. It happened quickly, for a few moments Kyle doubted that anything had happened at all. What looked like some kind of bar flew past Force's ear, rebounded off the wall right behind Kyle and shot back, catching Force square on the jaw. The behemoth staggered back a few steps, more from surprise that anything else. The club continued on its path till it was caught by a man in a crimson leather suit. His face was covered by a red mask with devil horns. He caught the stick without even looking at it.

"It looks like I'm not the only one who thinks you shouldn't be here" said the newcomer. Major Force's smile just split even wider.

"The Daredevil in person! You know, I've been looking all over for you" he said darkly. Daredevil's face remained impassive, as if Force hadn't spoken. He waited until the larger man began to move towards him, and then he dived over Major Force's head with all the grace of a cat.

"Friend of yours?" The scarlet clad man asked. Kyle shook his head.

"We've got to get him to the roof. There are too many people he can hurt here" Green Lantern was all business now. Ben had already been caught in the crossfire because he hadn't gotten his act together and Kyle would be damned if he was going to let it happen again. Daredevil seemed to pause for just a fraction of a second too long. Was that Kyle's imagination? God knew he had been under enough stress lately.

"Lure me? You intend to lure me?" Force was laughing. He reached out casually and plucked a cowering nurse from her hiding place. The young woman screamed as he held her like a toy. "Lure away, never let it be said I'm not a sporting person". And with that he turned and sauntered out nonchalantly; his hostage screaming in terror.

The two men acted without thinking. Daredevil dived at him, grabbing him around the waist. The sudden extra weight made Major Force topple over. He threw his hostage aside in order to use both arms to regain his balance. The woman screamed as she fell. Green Lantern quickly made a force field around her. She landed unscathed. A moment later Force seized the man without fear and hurled him down the corridor where he twisted athletically and landed like a cat. The purple and orange behemoth took a step towards his scarlet clad prey only to be knocked off his feet by an emerald green battering ram traveling at high speed. It pitched the brute out of a nearby window with a sound like a small explosion. The two heroes ran to the window after him. Down below it looked like nothing had happened. Major Force had disappeared. Maybe Kyle was imagining it, Major Force wasn't the type to just up and run in the middle of a fight, but from where he stood there was no sign that Force had ever been there. Beside him, Daredevil stood as still as a statue.

"After he landed he jumped into one of the ambulances" Said the Daredevil.

"You can tell where he went? What are we waiting for then! Let's go!" Kyle was practically out of the window before Daredevil stopped him.

"This isn't the time. I'm sorry but you have other things to be worrying about right now"

"Not the time? I know what this guy is like. He knows that Ben is involved in this somehow, he'll come back to finish the job!"

"And I know what Bullseye is like! If he can't get to you then he'll go after the people you're close to!"

The words sunk into both men's heads at the same time. As one they turned to look at the faces of the people who had just witnessed the event. A few doctors and nurses, and a couple of visiting relatives were watching them.

"Roof?" Asked Kyle

"Roof" Agreed Daredevil

-

A few moments later they were alone on the rooftop.

"Matt" said Kyle

"Kyle" said Matt.

"How did you know?" Kyle asked

"Well, I recognised your voice straight away. And I don't know what it is you do but it screws up my radar like crazy" Matt explained as he pulled down the Daredevil cowl.

"Radar?"

"I'll explain later, what about you. How did you know?"

"I didn't, not until you mentioned Bullseye back there. I knew that there was something but I didn't think it was like this" said Kyle as he took off his mask.

"So who was the other guy? The other Green Lantern?"

"He'd kick my ass if I gave away his secret identity" Kyle realised how weird it was to say this; John didn't even wear a mask. But then again Matt was blind, wasn't he? Kyle asked him.

"I can see I've got a lot of explaining to do" said Matt with a sigh.
