Rain slicked the Hell’s Kitchen pavement as Matt Murdock slipped into the warehouse, a shadow among shadows. The air was thick with tension and the scent of fear. Inside, bound and bruised, his companion waited, her eyes wide with terror not for herself, but for him. Matt moved with superhuman precision, dismantling Fisk’s men one by one, ignoring the pain in his own battered body. He reached her, slicing the ropes with trembling hands. As they fled into the city’s darkness, leaving chaos behind, he finally let his guard down. In the safety of the night, she whispered her question: why risk it all for Fisk’s daughter? Matt’s voice was steady, cutting through the rain. “Because you’re not him.” It was the only truth that mattered.
