The idea for the story bellow, i had after rewatch the 2003 movie about Daredevil, so, i wrote this, picturing the characters from the movie. However, if you feel more confortable picturing the show characters, Its up to you, thats why i put this story on the Serie section of this site.
As for the story, theres not much to say, since the Sumary already give you most of the spoiler, so, i will just say that its a two separated scenes story, having a conection on the end.
Have a nice reading.
Since i´m new on this fandom, let me already warn you: i don´t have a beta reader and i´m not going to look for one, i fix my own stories, so, if you don´t enjoy the way i write, feel free to stop reading here and go to the next story!
Thanks!
TWO LAWYERS AND THE DEVIL
It was an average day on the office, when 37-year old lawyer Matthew Murdock arrived with an injured, after once again disappear the night before, doing God-knows-what and not answering the phone. This way, once he set down and ask his friend and partner to read the reports to him, Mr. Nelson, the friend in question set back on his own chair and start making the endless questioning.
''Really Matt, since you are the one who need your hands to read, you should be more careful with them, what happened this time… and don´t tell me you were at the fight club, I know you aren't.''
''I was…'' Matt started. ''I was at the piano bar last night, I decided to try my hand on music, but I got clumsy, and the piano lid closed on my hand.'' He lied.
To tell the truth, he injured his hand, as the Daredevil, trying to protect an old lady from been robbed, but he would never say it out loud to his best friend. On the other hand, what kind of old lady would go for groceries at 11pm on Hell's Kitchen, he thought.
''Piano? Really Matt, I thought you had said that a blind pianist, or musician for that matter was the most cliché thing in the word.'' Mr. Foggy Nelson complained confused.
''And its true, that's why I became a lawyer, I hate cliches,'' he said. ''No, I wasn´t at the bar last night.''
''So, what happened?'' Foggy wanted to know, when suddenly, realization came upon him, Matt´s injury was almost on his firsts, what if… ''Matt, are you really alright? You seems lonely later, you want to talk about it?''
Hearing that the blind lawyer frowned and touched his injured hand. ''Foggy, are you implying I was attempting against my own life?'' he asked angry.
''Its not the first time… listen man, I know you are still suffering about Elektra, but…''
''Foggy, whatever I´m still mourning her death or not, attempt against my own life would be totally against my principals, its against God´s law, I would never allow myself to do that, you hear?'' Matt growled.
''Fine, then what happened?''
''I was gardening and hurt myself with the tools.''
''In the apartment? Matthew you never allow anyone to lie on court, why are you lying now? What are you handing, you can tell me, I'm your friend!''
''Fine, you want the truth?''
''Absolutely.'' Foggy replied.''
''The truth i´m the saying Daredevil.'' Matt replied simply.
''You what?''
''I´m the Daredevil, the devil from Hell´s Kitchen or whatever, I patrols the night watching in the darkness and last night, I injured my hand while trying to save an old lady from been robbed.''
As he finished his speech, silence took over the office and no one talked for a whole minute. By the sound of Foggy´s heartbeat and lack of response over what he just heard, Matt realized he hadn´t buy a word from that thing, which was good.
''Right then, lets just go back to work.'' Foggy suggested and Matthew happily agreed.

A few months had passed and no word about Daredevil was shared between the two friends, despite of Foggy always asking why or how Matt always get hurt, he decided to buy every explanation his friend give and don´t push him too much, afraid of get him upset and he ended up doing some nonsense.
One night, after work, Mr. Foggy Nelson decided to take the shortest yet dangerous way home, despite of his friend´s advice, not knowing what he was going to find on the way.
''I´m serious Foggy, you don´t want to go that way, that street is extremely dangerous.'' Matt said that evening as they prepared to leave.
''Why not? How you know that street is dangerous?''
''Just a blind man´s advice, trust me, I know things.'' Matt replied and in response, the other lawyer just ignored him and left.
At first, the street seemed a normal, even pleasant street, making Foggy believe Matt was just making up excuses to scare him up, on his own unseeing way, still, when he was about to turn the corner, Foggy come face to face with a large man, holding a knife on his hand.
His blood run cold and he looed behind, thinking how fast he could run, when the large man approach. ''What happened chubby? Don´t you worry, I just want your money…''
''I… I do not have... it…'' Foggy stammered.
''Shh, silence, otherwise I will have your life as well… what the…?'' Behind Foggy appear a red devilish creature, who without warning jump over the large man, knocking him unconscious. It was the Daredevil, once again saving a citizen from certain death.
''Dear Lord!'' Foggy exclaimed, trembling from head to toe and in response, the Daredevil turn to him, sight unseen.
''You better go, before he wakes up, it's a dangerous place, so a friend of yours asked me to protect you, now go!'' he said before disappearing on the top o a roof, leaving Foggy alone again.
Bloody Hell!'' the lawyer breathed after a second to catch his breath and rush toward the other end of the street, eager to get home as soon as possible, safe and sound.
Still, he couldn´t wait to arrive at the office the next day and tell Matt he had met the Daredevil, the real one and it had saved his life, God knows how.
END.
