forever is the sweetest con - Matt Murdock × reader

Villains and uncomfortable conversations

You are many things.
An artist, a great friend to Karen, a kind person who makes small talk with local baristas,
and right now you're a stranger to
Matt Murdock.

I guess everything can change in a beat of a heartbeat.

He continued to follow you as you walked through the busy streets of New York. He kept his distance, of course. He walked slowly, he moved with the wind. He had the perfect disguise, a hopeless blind man, at least that's what everyone thought.
They felt ashamed to stare at him longer than few seconds. Matt always felt that, but never with you. You never broke your gaze when you were looking at him. He really thought he knew you, now he feels ashame. Shame because he got tricked again.

He followed you until he heard your voice.

You were making a phone call.

"Hey I just remembered to return your voicemail. I'm safe or I was. I think someone has been following me for few days. You know damn well I can protect myself, but still. The guy is white male, in his late twenties, he's bald and from what I can see from a distance he has a tattoo on his neck, a tattoo of a flower. I'm not sure though, but I've seen him around a lot. I'm scared that I've become paranoid. Give me a call, and please don't tell Coulson about this"

So apparently Matt is not the only guy that's following you?

Matt couldn't take it anymore. He took a sharp left and ended up in an ally and froze there.
He couldn't breathe. His hands were shaking. All the sounds in his ears, mad sounds drove him crazy.
Everything was heightened, all his unusual senses.

And he usually controlled them well, but right now, he was in a panic mode.
He was sure he shouldn't trust you, he didn't anymore but he couldn't help it, he still cared.
He didn't want you to get hurt or worse. He heard your voice, it was normal, but he could feel that you were also scared. He had to talk to you.

You got a call from him later, telling you to meet him at his apartment.

You tried to cancel, but you knew. His voice has changed, he didn't ask you, he commanded you to come.
And you knew.

He knew.

You open the door to his apartment and there he is. He's standing next to the big windows. The reflection on the neon sign across the street was on his face. And so was the disappointment.

"You came" he says, not changing his posture.

" You told me to " you try to match the tone of your voice with his.

"Yeah I did. We need to talk. No more lies" finally he turns to you.

" I figured. You know "

"I know"

" You have a lot of questions, I'm sure. But you have to listen to me"-

"No, I'm done listening to you"

" You don't understand, you are in danger "

"Ah, you are worried about me. How cute" he sarcastically says.

" Your friends are in danger too, they know your identity. Well not your friends but the people you've been after "

"What?"

" Can we sit down please? I'll explain everything " you say as you take a seat on Matt's couch. He slowly seats down too, on the opposite side of you. He's completely focusing his gaze on the window, and probably on all the sounds coming from outside. Or maybe he's too hurt and that's why he's ignoring you. He's more nervous than before. I can tell. And if I was in his shoes I would too, be nervous.

" The woman you've mentioned before, Villa. You were right she's not clean. We thought she was working for Fisk, but no. She's alone, trafficking humans, than she's experimenting on them. She got some of the greatest scientists with her, but no Fisk "

"How are you so sure that Fisk is not behind this? He doesn't like what I do as 'Daredevil', he tried to stop me before"-

" I think he also doesn't like you as 'Matt', you put him in jail. But no, he's still there. Villa is alone on this. Yes she was his lawyer but as you mentioned to me before, that's just her cover up "

"How can I know that you aren't working for her? Do you just expect me to trust you again?" he asks with finally agnolageing me, he looks at me.

" I don't work for her, but I do work with someone who's more powerful than her. "

"And that is? If you must know, I can't read minds" he jokes.

" I work with S.H.I.E.L.D "

( tum tum tum TUM... here's one of the big reveals I wanted for this story... Our reader is an undercover shield agent, but is that all to her story?
Also yes Villa is inspired by 'villain' ... she's our bad guy, but is she really 'just' bad? Guess we'll see ;)
Hope you like the story so far, because I'm hoping to make it better...
Also have a fun day, thanks for reading this!! )
