Chapter 10

A Daredevil Side Story

A week before John found Spider-Man's suit

His name is Marcus Timbrell who was a five foot seven and three quarters of an inch tall athletic male who is about sixteen years old. He had short black hair with blue eyes and a face that some but not all of the girls at Midtown would find handsome. He was wearing a light purple shirt with black jeans an a pair of sneakers which had a hole in the side of them. Unlike most of the students around him Marcus wasn't obsessed with the latest trends or video games as he was a member of Midtown Highs Boxing Club as it was his dream to be a professional boxer whenever he became old enough.

His two parents on the other hand where hoping he would become a doctor or an accountant like they were. The reasons for him not wanting to follow along in that path was one that he found math boring and two he had a stepbrother who was already a doctor. His older brother who was his moms first kid from a previous marriage was named Génor Lacroix who was twenty eight years old and he was studying to become a doctor. Génor's father was killed in a gang shooting back in Canada when he was three which resulted in him and his mother moving to America. Marcus didn't really understand why they chose New York City or why they were living in Hells Kitchen the most crime ridden part of the city but he just chalked it up to people being weird.

Maybe it was all the superheroes patrolling the city that made his mom feel safer then she was in Canada Marcus didn't know. Now you may be wondering why he was going to school in Midtown if he lived so far away and the answer to that was to do with his older brother. Génor had heard that Midtown was one of the best schools in New York an insisted his brother was going to go there rather then a school in the kitchen and their mom readily agreed as it would keep her youngest son Marcus out of a gang more likely then not. Marcus didn't entirety agree with this decision but it would be safer for him in the long run so he went along with it.

Today Marcus was walking around the halls of the school heading towards the bus as today they where having a field trip to the history museum today. Marcus didn't much care as he didn't really have much interest in history. That was going to change on this trip though he didn't know it yet. Instead he went about his day and headed to the bus. He ended up sitting next to some random guy whose name he didn't care about. He just wanted the trip to be over so he could go home an practice his boxing so once all the students were on bored an the bus started moving he was quite happy.

He heard one of the popular girls Emma talking with her cliche of friends in the back which was not about the trip but rather the latest fashion show Emma was apart of as she was a young model. Marcus understood why she was popular she was hot and her mother used to be a model before she married Emma's dad apparently. However Marcus didn't really have a interest in her or her friends though this was due to him not wanting to get to know them. Instead he focused on the lines of the road as the bus moved closer and closer to the history museum. Once they arrived he was very happy to be off the bus where he no longer had to listen to teenage girls talking about dresses an skinny jeans.

The class walked into the museum and the tour guide lead them around into the various exhibits of the museum the Greek history an mythology section, the British empire, the Civil War, and various other pieces of ancient history. It was when the entered the South American history section that things went wrong. First of all for some unknown reason a supervillian decided to attack the museum which to be honest should have been expect its New York after all. The glass from the roof shattered and at least four men wearing all black ninja outfits burst through the skylight onto the floor of the museum quickly followed by a woman wearing a form fitting red and white costume with a red bullseye pattern on her left leg and her right arm. She also wore red lipstick and a domino mask with her black hair tried up in a bun.

" Find the artifact now," the woman said her red lips curling into a commanding frown as the ninjas spread out to do as she ordered. Marcus went to find a place to hide as the other students were fleeing the scene. It was difficult to avoid the ninja's but Marcus made due by hiding behind the exhibits. This hiding wasn't really helping him calm his nerves when a second loud crash came from the skylight of the museum and a man in a red suit which had devil horns on the top of the helmet landed on top of one of the exhibits.

" Daredevil!" one of the ninjas yelled before going to attack the red clad superhero by swinging his sword downward at him which Daredevil flipped through the air to dodge landing behind the ninja before striking the back of his legs with one of his red escrimea sticks which made the ninja's knee buckle. This didn't really stop the ninja as he swung his sword from the left at Daredevil who blocked it with the other escrimea stick before sliding it down the edge of the sword to punch the ninja in the face making the ninja fall to the concrete.

While this was going on Marcus had made it to an exhibit that had a small gold and silver pendent with strange symbols cared into the chain in tiny writing. Marcus hid beihend the display until one of the ninjas had been knocked into the display breaking the glass and causing the necklace to fall into Marcus lap at which point he reached down to grab it. This caused Marcus to pass out as his conscious was transported to another dimension. Once he arrived he was standing in front of what had appeared to be a black skinned demon with long pointed ears.

" A human has ended up in my realm. How interesting this is," the demon said with a grin.

" Who are you?" Marcus asked as he looked at the demon.

" I am Astuemi a demon from another dimension and I will grant you power in exchange however I must take something from you," the demon said before he reached over and placed his hand on Marcus shoulder. After this Marcus passed out again.

Authors note: This is the origin story of Virus's Daredevil that I told him I would make. He will be appearing more in a later chapter which I will not spoil as it will be cool I think. Please read and review and have a good day.
