Disclaimer: I do not own Daredevil or Arrow

Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.

Chaos Sorcerer: I just wanted to establish their history right from the start. I have some thoughts about including the wider Marvel and DC Universe but only if the plot properly permits it. Unlike last time, I haven't planned out the full thing. I am just gonna go with the flow but I do know what I am doing. I think Felicity was fine this season and even Olicity can get a pass because it didn't have much melodrama. But I did hate them both a lot in Seasons 3-5. I hate Iris and WestAllen the most. I liked 'Justice League: The World Breaker Comes' a lot but I haven't read the entire thing. I also think 'A Series of Spectacular Affairs' and 'The Hunter, The Huntress and The Hunted' were enjoyable reads. I am also fond of 'Torn Between Two Earths' a lot. You should try out Dr. Matthattan's LOTR/MCU crossovers. The first one is called 'Avengers of the Ring.' You should also try out Bl4ckHunter's stuff- especially 'The Darhk War saga' and 'A Stitch in Time.' I will accept any of your ideas if I can have them make sense within the story. Thanks for the offer.

Chapter 3- Daredevil vs The Hood

The Hood entered the building. A guard tried to fire at him but he shot him on the shoulder and he was down. Another leapt at him to kick him but he grabbed his leg and threw him through a glass door. He fell down and lost consciousness.

Justin Claybourne was talking to a security guard when the Hood arrived.

"Kill that Robin Hood son of a bitch!" he commanded and ran off.

Before the guard could react, the Hood shot him on the shoulder and he was down. He then followed Claybourne through the door.

The Hood shot down a guard at the top of the left escalator. He shot another arrow that caused a small explosion. He leapt on the middle railing and on the right escalator. A guard followed him from behind. He turned, punched him and smacked him away.

He then turned to the guard in front of him. He stabbed him with an arrow twice and let him fall. A guard from the left escalator tried to punch him but he smacked him away. He smashed another guard's head on the wall. Another attacked him but he blocked and smacked him away.

He was angry right now. He had given Claybourne a deadline but he had not heeded him. He would continue to slaughter innocents in Lamb Valley for profit. He could not let such mass killings happen. He would not let another Matthew Shrieve win.

He flipped another guard and knocked him out. He then walked further.

The Hood reached the rooftop. Claybourne was running from him with 2 guards. He shot down the guards before they could do a thing.

Justin turned to him with a smirk."You gonna tell me again- I have failed this city?" asked Claybourne.

The Hood growled, "You infected the people in Lamb Valley to turn a profit."

"You want to make this city great again" said Claybourne, "This is how- with business, money."

The Hood said, "You are sentencing innocent families, children to death."

"Nobody cares about those people", said Claybourne mercilessly, "They're a blight. And I'm just... thinning the herd."

"So am I", declared the Hood and shot an arrow. It hit Claybourne right on his heart. He groaned and fell into the pool behind him, dead.

The Hood walked away. He normally wasn't a big fan of his killing method. But Claybourne had earned it.

As he was walking, he stopped on hearing something behind him. He had been on an island for years so his senses had been honed to peak human levels.

He knew someone was watching him. Turning around slowly, he notched an arrow and fired it. Daredevil deflected it with his club.

The Hood was surprised to see The Devil of Hell's Kitchen here in Starling City.

"What are you doing here?" he asked in a growl.

"I think you know very well", Daredevil retorted.

The Hood fired another arrow but Daredevil flipped into the air and deflected it away. The two moved closer to each other as The Hood decided to use his bow as a bo-staff.

The Hood tried to smack Daredevil with his bow but he leaned backwards and then side-stepped when The Hood tried to bring it down on him. The bow clashed with the club.

The Hood tried to kick him but he jumped back to avoid. The Hood threw a fletchette but he caught it and threw it away.

Daredevil divided his club into 2 sticks. The Hood took out 2 arrows to use as melee weapons. The two then clashed their weapons for some time. The Hood tried to hit Daredevil with the arrows who blocked with his sticks. The two were in a stalemate for a while.

Daredevil suddenly kicked The Hood in the stomach and he stumbled back and then he flip-kicked him away as he dropped the arrows. The Hood flipped and tried to bring his feet down on Daredevil's head but he stepped away.

The Hood then fired another arrow at Daredevil. Daredevil tried to deflect it but it exploded. It was a flashhbang arrow and it managed to disorient him. As he staggered, The Hood smacked him in the stomach with the bow and then across the face.

The Hood then flip-kicked him on the side and then punched him away. He then smacked his hands with the bow and he was disarmed of his sticks. With another smack of his bow, Daredevil was on the ground.

The Hood took out an arrow, intending to stab Daredevil on the shoulder with it. As he brought it down on him, Daredevil grabbed his hand and smirked as he had recovered from the disorientation. He then head-butted The Hood and hit him on the elbow, making him drop the arrow. He then kicked him away.

The Hood tried to smack him with his bow again but he ducked and punched him in the stomach and then flip-kicked him. He then flip-kicked him on the hands and he was disarmed of his bow.

The Hood tried to punch him but he blocked and punched him instead. The Hood tried to kick him but he flipped back to avoid. He then picked up his sticks while The Hood picked up his bow. Before The Hood could try to take out an arrow, Daredevil rushed him.

The Hood again tried to smack him with the bow but he ducked and then smacked him in the stomach with one stick before smacking his knee with the other. As The Hood staggered, Daredevil smacked his face with the stick and kicked him away. With another flip-kick to the face, he brought him down.

The Hood tried to get up but Daredevil pinned him to the ground with his foot.

"What do you want?" The Hood growled, trying to reach for an arrow.

"You forgot?" Daredevil asked incredulously, "2 nights ago, you came to Hell's Kitchen and tried to kill me."

"What are you talking about?" The Hood growled.

"I am talking about you trying to kill me", Daredevil growled back.

"But I have been here this whole time", said The Hood.

"What?" asked Daredevil in shock. But The Hood's heartbeat was steady when he said that. Not even a slight falter. He was telling the truth.

"If it wasn't you", said Daredevil, "Then who was it?"

"I don't know", said The Hood.

Daredevil removed his foot from The Hood's chest and gave him a hand. The Hood took it and Daredevil pulled him up to his feet.

"An archer tried to kill me 2 nights ago", said Daredevil, "He moved like you. Fought like you. His arrows had fletchings like yours."

"Well", said The Hood, "I don't know anything about that."

"So are there any other archers around here?" asked Daredevil.

"Not that I know of", said The Hood, "But I guess we're looking at a copycat."

"Perhaps", said Daredevil, "Sorry about this."

"All good", said The Hood, "Happens to a lot of people."

"The question is", said Daredevil, "Why would this other archer use fletchings like yours?"

"I don't know", said The Hood before realizing, "Maybe he wanted us to fight."

"Why?" wondered Daredevil, "What would he gain by the two of us fighting?"

"Maybe…" The Hood trailed off.

"Maybe what?" asked Daredevil.

"He wanted the both of us occupied while he does something terrible", said The Hood as his eyes widened in horror.

Daredevil was equally horrified and said, "In that case, he needs to be stopped."

"You're right", said The Hood before asking, "What're you going to do?"

"Well", said Daredevil, "I guess for now, I am staying around here to investigate."

"I am not really into working with someone I know nothing about", said The Hood.

"Same here", said Daredevil, "I am going to carry out my own investigation and you carry out yours."

"Fair enough", said The Hood, "But if I find something related to you, I will tell you."

"Same here", said Daredevil.

The two then walked their different ways and disappeared into the night.


I promise the following chapters will be longer. I have already said that I think Matt is more skilled than anyone from the first two seasons of Arrow at this point. While Oliver is less skilled than Malcolm who lost to Matt, he managed to put up a fight because of his flashbang trick arrow which disoriented Matt for a while.

If Matt did not have superhuman senses, I'm pretty sure the two would remain enemies for a longer while but with his senses, he knows Oliver is telling the truth. So the two are cool but won't work with each other for now.

I think I handled their first meeting better than I did it in 'The Devil of Star City.'

Please review. I always appreciate your feedback.
