I was keeping myself busy at work, Connors had been working on this new project he wouldn't tell me about and he wants me to perfect it so that means a lot of trial and error and not being home. Im getting tried and I need a break. Matt has been busy, a new case with that Jessica Jones woman and since then I haven't been able to speak to him.


My eyes glued on the screen, writing down nonsense and notes. Im so close. Swearing as the last test subject wasn't working. I slammed my fist on the table and yelled.


"Devon." I heard and I quickly turned around. There was Matt. I got up and hugged him.


"Im sorry, Connors has me working on this stupid thing. Thats why I haven't been home or calling. Yelena left so thats why you cant reach her." I put my hair up and sat down. "Why are you here? Is everything okay?"


"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't important." I moved left and right on my chair, trying to figure out what he meant.


"Ah Matt, imma need more than that. What happened?"


"Its the Hand." My smile faded. No, not them. My head started to spin.


"I thought they died." I closed my eyes.


"They're back. I told River to hide and they wanted you  before Devon, they'll try to get to you again. I cant let that happen, not again." I scoffed.


"I can't believe this." I put my head in my hands.


"I know. They're back in New York and I-"


"No, its not them." I looked up at him. "You." I sighed and got up to my station. "I thought we were done with the whole crime fighting vigilante thing?"


"No actually. Well not yet." I scoffed again.


"You, we said that no more. We live a nice boring life together."


"I know what I said Devon. We don't have to do this conversation."


"Of course we don't. Just tell me Matt. Please...please dont lie to me." I faced him. He knew.


"Im doing it again. Because if I don't, people will die. Whatever the Hand is up to... New York is in its crosshairs. I have to do this." I looked down. He cant let this city go. Its part of him. I cant hate him for it. "Thats why i need you come with me so I can protect you."
