Chapter six: more than you can see
Abandoned apartments down in Manhattan on 54th street
Hayley stepped onto the cold wooded, broken down floor of the apartment "Gareth?" she called out "are you here?"
She ventured further into the run down apartment, there was no heat and it had been snowing a bit that evening. Hayley scanned the room it seemed that he had been sleeping here since there were a few torn blankets on the floor and his lantern that they had both found in a dumpster a few days ago. A backpack containing a few things that Gareth could use was stored on her back but if she couldn't find him where would she put them? "Gareth?" she called out again
Out of the corner of Hayley's grass green eyes she saw a tall shaggy hair guy walk out of what they had called the washroom. "Hayley!" he ran over and hugged her tightly.
She smiled and hugged back "I though I could at least bring you over some things"
Gareth smiled widely, he to had been kicked out of his former living place and they had found each other wondering the streets. Even though they had stayed here Gareth couldn't have looked better. He couldn't have been more than two years older then her. His sandy hair grew just above his shoulders and it looked like he could have never brushed it and it still would look good. His dark brown eyes pulsed with so much life and he was just a bit taller then Hayley. "You shouldn't have" he smiled "I got enough right here"
"Yes the packets off cheese and left over food from restaurants is really good for you" she laughed
Gareth was a great person and could survive off anything "hey it's good and I like it" he crossed his arms in front of him
His clothes weren't all that dirty, the blue t-shirt, his blue semi baggy jeans, black denim jacket and his leather no finger gloves seemed only to fit him. "Common don't you wanna see what I got you?" she pried at him
He laughed and sat on the floor like a three year old "I wanna see"
Hayley snickered "ok let's see what I have in my magic bag of tricks" she started to pull out stuff from the backpack "ok clothes socks, pants, ah here we are pizza pockets" she pulled out the items and tossed them to him
"What pizza pockets!!!" he jumped up tossing the other stuff on his blankets "I haven't had one of these in weeks"
"I know I just ate like fifty of them" she laughed and opened the thermos with the hot food in it
Gareth devoured them like it was no tomorrow mumbling something with his full mouth that Hayley didn't even understand. "Whoa slow down there flash" she laughed "I have more just slow down"
He whipped his face with the napkins Hayley had brought "you're the best you know that?" he said as he hugged her again
"Yes, yes I know I'm the almighty giver of food" they both laughed
The two talked for the longest time as they talked about everything and anything but they always came to the same topic "so Hayley got a boyfriend yet" he asked smirking a bit
"nope not any more and like I have said many time before, I don't believe in true love, its just a fake emotion made up by the government so that people will buy crap for their lovey dovey crap"
"Ouch ice, ice baby" he laughed "I believe in true love, there has to be someone out there" he said before laying down on his blankets and putting his hands behind his head
Hayley laughed "oh well believe what you want but I know that it's just artificial love and not real"
Gareth sighed "you know your bitter don't you?"
"Oh so I go from being the best to being bitter" she laughed "well I guess this is the last time I bring food to you"
"No I was kidding just bring back the food" he sighed and closed his eyes even though the cold seemed to never let him rest "where did you get this stuff anyways?"
Hayley laid down beside his cold form "I found a friend of mine, one of my really good friends when I was a kid and I went to go seen him, his girlfriend and other room mate let me stay the night and we all got to know each other"
"One day soon I'm going to get my own apartment" he sighed "and then I won't have to worry about this stuff again"
"So where am I going to live?" she asked playfully
"Of chores in your pent house sweet when you finally become famous" he laughed
"Yeah that's if I can write something good" she ran her fingers though her bangs "I have had total song writers block"
"Don't worry I'll help you there" he rolled over and grabbed a thick note book with ruffled papers that looked like it had been though the dryer a few times.
Gareth wrote a lot of stuff and never told anyone about them, he wrote songs, poems, stories, anything. He went to collage to become a science teacher –for reasons beyond Hayley- and had been kicked out because he had lost his job and couldn't pay for his school fees.
She smiled "sorry but I couldn't Gareth but I can't I just could do them any justice"
Gareth smiled "I'm sure you could"
Hayley got to her feet "well I better go everyone is probably wondering if I got mugged or killed" she laughed
He stood up after her and hugged her tightly "come back soon ok?" he smiled "cause I want more of that food"
"Ok I'll be back tomorrow oh I forgot" she reached into her backpack and pulled out what looked like a stereo "here you could use this, it's a battery powered heater"
Gareth smiled like a kid a Christmas "really, heat!"
Hayley laughed and placed it on the floor "you know you could come with me I got at a job today near here and I'll have almost enough money for a down payment on an apartment, it's kinda small but you could live there once I get it"
He smiled for the millionth time in the hour "I'll get a job too so then we can both pay for it"
Hayley nodded "ok see you tomorrow" she waved to him and walked out the door
Abby, Josh and Nikkie's apartment
Josh smiled down at Abby as they both lay in their bed after some 'exercise' that gladly nobody walked in on after Josh forgot to lock the door. She was still asleep and he wanted it to stay that way with his arms wrapped around her. A loud pounding at the door woke Josh from his daze and he slipped carefully out of Abby's grasp. He quickly dressing in some clean clothes and walked to the door after the pounding had subsided "hello?" he opened the door to Hayley in the hallway
"Sorry I know it's late but I don't have a key" she smiled innocently
Josh chuckled "you know you have the worst timing"
She nodded "yup it's all thanks to the man who didn't leave a key out"
Josh shook his head and let her in "so where did you go anyways?"
"I went and gave Gareth some stuff" she smiled "and oh yes started my first day on the job"
"You applied somewhere?" he asked
"Yup down at the dinner in Manhattan near where Gareth lives" she popped down on the couch
"That's great" he laughed
"Yeah I though it would be better if I got out of your guy's hair as fast as I could" she laughed
Josh shook his head and laughed "we love having you here Hayl's we really do"
Matt, Elektra and Lily's apartment
Elektra sat on the couch Lily laying down on her lap slowly, very slowly falling asleep as they watched 'Spider Man' on their DVD player. Ironic right how Lily loved this movie, a New York super hero with a secret identity and her mother and father had a secret identity of their own. Lily had closed her eyes and was now fast asleep in her own little dream world, Elektra gathered little Lily up in her arms and carried her to bed. After setting her down and giving her the 'blankey' as Lily called it Elektra walked out to find Matt sitting in his 'office' getting really to serve justice. "Matt" she whispered "do you have to go?" she was always worried about him when he went out even more so than she was two years ago before Lily was born.
Matt walked over to her and held her tightly "yes E. I have to go" he trailed a kiss over her jaw line
"I wish I could go with you, I love Lily to death but this life is so different from before" she sighed "and ever since you got that phone call I've been even more anxious to go out there and rip whoever threatened us to shreds"
"Elektra I know you do but if we are both out then who will watch Lily" he smiled and kissed her lips lightly trying to sooth her tenseness
She gave in "find but be careful" she kissed him back
"I will" he smiled his trade mark smile and walked out of the apartment leaving Elektra in her worries.
Rooftops over Hell's Kitchen
Dare Devil smelled the air, something was coming, but what was it? He could picture in his mind what could have made that smell but it was something and that something was coming fast. A black could seemed to shadow Dare Devils radar and for the first time he felt truly blind. The figure smiled and walked over to Dare Devil "so how do you feel Devil?" a laugh cut the thick air "where am I? Am I more then you can see?"
Matt swing fist everywhere but never hit anything, after five minuets a blow was dealt to his gut, he could tell from where or who bit it winded him. Dare Devil fell to his knees and coughed "who the hell are you?" he said a course voice
"Your worst nightmare Devil" he laughed "but don't worry I'm not here to kill you, no not yet, just simply testing out my new gadget"
Dare Devil stood up, his legs shaky "what do you mean?"
"its designed to block out your radar or whatever you call it and render you totally helpless but sending a frequency only you can hear blocking out your hearing and sense of smell, still working on the touch sense though" the figure laughed again "but I will be off now leaving you will how you feel, helpless" then the figure jumped off the rooftop and disappeared
Matt decided to not waste anytime going after that thing but he couldn't help worrying about who, or what could have found out about his power. "Shit" he said to himself and ran back to the apartment not letting anyone have anymore chances with him.
