It was yet another late night for the Nelson, Murdock & Y/L/N team. The small law firm had landed what could be one of the most important cases of their careers. Earlier in the Month a group of young women had arrived at the office seeking a consult. Each of them had been brought illegally to the country. They had evidence about the sex trafficking that had been going on in Hellās Kitchen. With videos, pictures and testifying victims the law firm had manage to build a strong case against one of the Heads of the operation.
āJustice, a term that is often used to lightly. But whatās the real meaning of it if not to protect whoāve been wronged in ways that most wonāt understand. Freedom, yet another word that to many has lost its true meaning. Today weāre here not to accuse and pursue the āinnocentā but to give back true meaning. To bring justice once again to the ones who donāt poses power or influence. To give back freedom to those who were strip of it. Not to redefine centuries of an old textbook definition, but to make sure the true one prevails.ā Ā Y/N ended her opening practice.
āThat was amazing, itās perfect!ā Said Foggy enthusiastically from across the table of the office. Y/N chuckled at him.
āI agree, donāt change anything to it. Itās precise, itās meaningful and it directly references the case. I think itās brilliant.ā Matt finished complementing Y/Nās opening statement with a small smile. Ā She was grateful that this man couldnāt see the effect he had on her. He had no idea how a small smile directed her way could make her blush in ways no other man ever could.
āSo, think we are finish for the night, right? We have the Opening, defense, questions, rebuttals and closing. Anything else weāre missing?ā Asked Y/N.
āNo, thatās everythingā answered Matt as he sorted his files.
āItās 8:00 so we are getting out of here on time for once. Plus, we have a solid case with a great pace. I say we celebrate, josieās? two drinks and call it a night?ā asked Foggy.
āIām in! we deserve a drinkā said Y/N getting on board with Foggy.
āI donāt know guys; we have an early morning tomorrow. We should get all the sleep we can.ā Replied Matt hesitantly.
āCāmon Matty, just one drink. For good luck!ā asked Y/N sweetly while pouting a bit as she placed her hand on his shoulder. He turned his head towards her direction as if looking at her. Then lower his head and laughed slightly.
āOne drink! Then we go homeā answered Matt.
āYes!ā both Foggy and Y/N exclaimed.
All of them gather their belongings. Y/N laced her elbow with Mattās as they made their way out of the office. As they headed to Josie's both Matt and Y/N still huddled together she whispered to Matt. āYou know, most of the times Foggy and I go out I have to beg you to come with us. Iāve come to conclusion that you just enjoy me begging you. Didnāt know you were the type Mattyā she said teasingly in his ear.
āI donāt know doll, maybe I doā he said lowly as he turned his head towards her. Their breaths fanning against each other creating even more tension between them.
āWere hereā announced Foggy not far upfront.
They made their way into the bar taking their usual spot, both Matt and Y/N sat close together relishing in the lack of space between their bodies. Their legs pressed against each other his hand on her thigh as her body leaned lightly against his. Foggy came back with the drinks and casual chatter started around the table. They talked about everything and anything losing track of time between laughs and drinks.
āGuyās, I think itās time to head back. Itās almost midnight and he have court in the morning.ā Said Y/N looking at the time.
āYeah, youāre right, letās head outā replied Foggy as Matt agreed with a slight nod.
The trio walked together out of the bar. āI called a cab; you guys want to share?ā asked foggy.
āNo, Iāll walk. Iām just a few blocks away anyway.ā Said Y/N āIāll walk with you.ā Said Matt right after her.
āOk, suit yourselvesā said Foggy with a knowing smirk as he got into the cab.
Both Matt and Y/N started walking quietly towards her home. āYou know, you didnāt have to walk me home.ā She said bumping his shoulder lightly
āI wanted to, wanted to make sure you were safeā he said taking her hand on his.
She stopped and turned to look at him. Her eyes tenderly looking at him while lowly questioning: āand whoās going to keep you safe?ā she asked as their bodies got closer to each other. His other hand now softly caressing her face. Their bodies were now pressed against together, their breaths fanning against each otherās lips. The tension between them almost unbearable. āI have a few tricks up my sleeve dollā he whispered closing the gap between their lips. The kiss started slow and delicate. Both memorizing each otherās lips, their taste, taking the time to relish in the action both had been desperately craving since they met when Foggy first introduced them.
And just like that, they were snap out of their moment, everything going black.
Moments later Y/N woke up handcuffed hands behind her back, tied to one of the many columns in the abandoned building she was taken to. Her vision slightly adjusting to the darkness in the room. She could see two more figures close to her but couldnāt identify who they were. āMatt?ā she asked remembering the doe eyed man who was with her just before her vision had darkened. āMatt are you here?ā she said desperately trying to find out if he had shared her unfortunate fate. She heard a groan not to far away. āMatthew is that you!?ā she asked again
āY/Nā he asked lightly. Relief washed on her for a moment. āYes! Are you hurt?ā she asked immediately. āNo, Iām fine. Are you okay?ā he asked her equally concerned. āIām fine, not my first rodeoā she answered chuckling lowly
āWhatās that supposed to mean?ā asked an all too familiar voice.
āFoggy!? Youāre here to!?ā asked Matt surprised he didnāt notice his friendās presence. āNo, Iām a figment of your imagination. Of course, Iām here!ā he exclaimed anxiously. Y/N washed the scene unfold and if the situation was another, sheād be incredibly amused but there was no current space in her mind for amusement.
āHave you seen who took us?ā asked Y/N
āNo, I havenāt seen anyoneā answered Foggy
āI think were about to find outā said Matt as he heard footsteps approaching.
Six men in dark clothes entered the room followed by two in suits. The lights turned on blinding Y/N and Foggy momentarily. A pair of darked dressed men stood besides each one of the captured lawyers. The two men dressed in suits stood in the middle of the room as if waiting for someone else to arrive.
As if on queue the senator walked through the doors. āYou three have made enemies out of really important and powerful peopleā he started talking making his way towards Matt. āSenator, a little anticlimactic donāt you thinkā said Matt looking up as if he was looking directly at his captor. The man laughed and not his head signaling the men who were besides Matt. On queue both men punched and kicked the blind lawyer.
āHey stop! STOP! YOUāRE HURTING HIMā shouted Foggy
āWell, thatās the intention Mr. Nelson. How else do I know youāll receive my message!ā he replied as the two other men started to land a few blows on Foggy.
Groans and whimpers from both Matt and Foggy could be heard. The smell of blood started lingering in the air. A scent Y/N was all to familiar with, the metallic taste that reminded her of the nightmare she used to call home.
āAnd what would that be?ā her voice held no emotion, no fear. Her eyes were cold and calm. It was a terrifying sight to behold. It was as if a switch had flipped and changed her. Going back to the soldier she once was in an instant. The Senator signaled his men to stop. He turned surprised at the coldness in her voice.
He looked at her, looking at her figure up and down. āWell, the case of course. You are not going through with the appeal.ā He said firmly. āI had every law firm drop the case, you ignored the warnings and look at where you are. Held at my mercy.ā He said as he got closer to Y/N.
āMercy. Funny. I didnāt think you knew such word existed.ā She replied never taking her eyes from him. āDonāt test my patience girl, you have no idea who youāre messing with.ā By now face to face with her captor. āI know exactly who you are and where exactly youāll be when Iām done with youā she said in the deadliest tone as her head slammed hardly onto his breaking his nose in the impact. Snapping her finger and getting out of the handcuffs she raised her legs and front kicked the Senator into the men headed her way while taking the knife hidden in her leg and cutting the tape that restrained her.
She stood up tall cleaning the blood splashed on her lips. Wasting no time, she ran towards one of the men in that where headed her way. Her hits were quick and precise, her striking was ruthless. Her first opponent was lying on the floor bloody before he had the actual chance to land a blow on her. She crushed his ribs with her first kicks while quickly grabbing his arm twisting it breaking his elbow in the process before throwing him face first to the wall rendering him unconscious. The next two were much more cautious but easy, nonetheless. They lacked training and went by brut force instead of skill causing them to be unconscious in the following thirty seconds.
The two men in the suits were helping the senator up while the other three ran her way. Y/N Took impulse and jumped grabbing one man with her legs and one with her arms twisting their necks and breaking them on the impact. She quickly stood up against the last of the six dark dressed men. Ā With a knife at hand, he went straight to her slamming her against the wall stabbing her side on the impact. Upon impact Y/N wrapped her legs around the man removing the knife from her side and headbutting the man making him loose his balance. She wasted no time in tripping him making him fall completely on the floor and kicking him into unconsciousness. She stood up strengthening her stance and looking directly at the Senator as she spat the blood that accumulated in her mouth.
āAre we done?ā she asked him. The senator glared at her, signaling his two men who where now standing besides Foggy and Matt. āShoot themā were the words that left his lips. Before they could finish loading their guns to shoot, Y/N pulled two daggers from the sheath underneath the back of her bra and threw them at both men piercing them right in their forehead killing them in an instance. Acting impulsively, she made her way to the senator who had made the attempt to flee the scene. She grabbed him from the back his expensive suit slamming him on the floor and straddling him while she started punching him bloody. Rage was all she could feel, no longer was she in control of her emotions. She had almost lost the man she loved and her best friend. She had taken not one but four lives, something she had sworn not to do again. She stopped realization hitting her like a wall of brick. Sweat and blood stained her face, her arms, and her clothes. She looked up and stared at Matt and Foggy. Fear and regret masked her face. She didnāt regret her actions for a second, she saved the two most important people on her life. But she regretted allowing them to witness the side of her she thought she had buried deep down, and now she feared sheād lose them all together.
She stood up and stepped away from the now unconscious senator that lied on the floor. As she made her way towards them, she picked up the knife she had dropped at some point and cut fuggy loose without uttering a word. After freeing Foggy she went towards Matt and cut his body loose then kneeled in front of him freeing his hands dropping the knife instantly. As she was about to stand up, he pulled her down and engulfed her tightly.
āI thoughtā¦ I thought I was going to lose youā he said, his voice choking while uttering the words. Y/N held him tighter bringing him even closer than what they already were. āIām Sorryā she kept uttering repeatedly as she cried against his chest. He just tightened his arms around her, holding her as if she was going to disappear in any moment.
After a few minutes passed they both stood up, his hands moved to her face one held her face while the other one cleaned the tears away. Ā His thumb graced the cut on her lip and without thinking twice his lips were on hers. The kiss was different from the one they shared earlier in the night. Unlike their first kiss this one was desperate and rough. Two desperate lovers drowning in the fear of loss. Drifting away in the feeling of desperation and terror of almost losing one another. Slowly breaking the kiss Matt place another kiss on her forehead and once again held her close to his chest breathing her scent in and feeling her heartbeat against his. Ā The sudden clearing of a throat snapped the bubble both had momentarily created in their panic.
āMatt, I think is my turn now.ā Said foggy as he moved closer to the couple and opened his arms to embrace Y/N. Matt reluctantly and hesitantly let her go knowing that his best friend also needed reassurance that she was ok. Foggy hugged her tightly before muttering a subtle āthank youā in her ear.
A loud groan made Y/Nās head snap, switching instantly as she recognizes who woke up. She let go of Foggy and made her way towards the senator who had regained his consciousness. Not far behind her were both Matt and Foggy. She stood over him, he tried to say something but before he could utter a word Y/N placed her heel at his throat. āDonāt mistake being alive as a miracle, youāre breathing because I allow you to breathe, and because I canāt wait to see you lose everything and rot in hell for whatās left of your miserable life.ā She walked over him making her way out of the doors she entered unwillingly.
āHow are you so sure youāll win court?ā he asked between coughs as he sat up. She stopped walking and turned to look at him directly in the eyes.
āBecause youāll make sure of it. Because if for some messed up reason you arenāt found guilty of the sex trafficking, the drugs, the rapes, and murders which I have proof of, youāll be wishing youād lost. Because Iāll make thisā she said signaling all his men. āLook like a nice holiday to what Iāll do to you. I was trained to, maim, torture, and kill. And Iām one of the best, trained by the worst of the worst. So once again, youāll make sure of itā¦ or donāt and your death will be at my mercy.ā She said before walking out wrapping her arms against Mattās elbow. Leaving not a threat but a promise lingering in the air.
The trio decided to head back to Mattās place to rest and talk of everything that has happened. A conversation Y/N was dreading with every fiber of her being. Not knowing what to expect after all the adrenalines had left their bodies.
They all sat around Mattās table, not uttering a word. Just processing the events that had unfolded and how from one moment to another their life changed drastically.
ācāmon, I know you guys are dying to ask soā¦ ask away.ā Said Y/N in a tired voice all the pain of her injuries started kicking in as the adrenaline left her body.
āDid you guys really had to have a near death experience to admit your feelings for each other?ā asked Foggy breaking the ice. There was a second of silence before the three burst out laughing and cringing in pain at the same time.
āOk, laughing. Bad ideaā said Foggy coughing while trying to stop laughing and being unsuccessful. Making both Y/N and Matt go into another fit of laughs. After a few minutes passed the laughing settled and they just sat in a comfortable silence.
āIām a widowā Y/N said just letting it out not knowing how else to approach the situation.
āYou were married?ā asked Foggy in shock. Not being able to contain herself she started laughing loudly. āNo, you idiot, a widow as in a Black Widow.ā Finished Y/N. Matt looked at her puzzling the pieces together. Now it made sense.
āWait! There's more than one Black Widow?ā asked Foggy interested.
āYes, an actual army of them. I come from a place called the Red Room. The red room used to take little girls from different parts of the world and train them in everything. Every defense, every combat style, any way of achieving missions until we graduate and then we start getting sent on Missionsā said Y/N.
āHow old where you when you were taken? and what do you mean by used to, was the red room taken down?ā asked Matt as he leaned closer to you.
āI was taken when I was three yeas old. And yes, me and my sisters took it down for good.ā Y/N said.
āYou have sisters!!!?, When where you going to tell us me? Iāve never met them. How have I not met them Y/N?ā Foggy asked in a slightly amused hurt tone.
āI tell you Iām a trained assassin and what surprises you is not that but the fact that I have sister?ā she replied while lightly chuckling and added. āYou are something else Fog.ā
āIām sorry you had to find out that way. I never meant for it to go that far.ā She said quietly.
āYou donāt have to apologize; you did what was necessary. Today doesnāt change how we look at you, much less the way I feel about you. Nothing couldā whispered Matt into her ear as he placed small kiss on the side of her forehead.
āI donāt understand how you guys are so okay with this.ā She said perplexed. āyouāre just going to brush things off and carry as if itās nothing?ā she asked surprised.
āLook you saved our lives, kicked some serious ass and looked if I may say hot as fuck while doing so. It felt like I was watching a movie, you went up against eight men. EIGHT MEN and came out with only a scratch. Thrust me, Iād do it all again if it meant that I didnāt have to take my friend beaten bloody on verge of death to find out this type of secret. So yeah, been here before, and being kidnapped and saved. Way better than finding your best friend almost dead because he wears a monkey suit and fights crime at nightā Said Foggy.
She felt Matt stiffen as his head went up instantly as soon as Foggyās words left his lips. Y/N turned to look at him, yet he didnāt turn towards her. As she tied every piece together and amused smile played on her lips then, it was instantly replaced by a frown as realization structed her.
āArenāt you blind!?ā she asked exasperated as she stood up feeling the heat of the room get to her. Foggy sat amused at the other side of the table waiting to see the seen unfold. Matt stayed silent trying to find the words to explain but being to stun to say anything. āMattā¦ are you notā¦ Oh my god Matthew!! Iāve been naked, NAKED in front of you. This is so embarrassing.ā By now she was passing back and forth across the room drowning in embarrassment. Foggy burst out laughing at her worries and dismissal of the situation. Her reaction only reassured him that his friends really were made for one another.
Matt directed his gaze towards Foggyās direction and shacked his head as if not believing he just spilled everything like that. He stood up and went towards her putting his hands against both her shoulders to steady her. āItās not like that doll.ā He said lowly as he moved his hands towards her face making her look up. He took off his glasses to prove his point. āI can see mostly silhouettes. I go by echolocation; sound waves are the most accurate way to describe it. My senses are heightened they replace what I mostly lack.ā He continued reassuring her that technically he couldnāt see. While he lightly smiled at the way she completely dismissed his vigilante ways.
They decided to call it a night, trying to catch a few hours of sleep before court. āFoggy, you know where the guest room is.ā Said Matt grabbing Y/Nās hands and making their way towards his room. He could sense the nervousness that radiated from her. Walking towards his drawers he pulled a clean pajama for her to use.
She grabbed them and made her way to the bathroom to take a quick shower. She let out a breath of relief as the warm water collided with her body. She scrubbed away the blood just now remembering the wound on her side wincing as the soap and water hit the area. Ā She finished showering she dried herself slipping the pajama pants Matt gave her. A soft knock on the door snapped her out of her daze. Ā Ā Ā
āI brought bandages for your woundā said Matt āCan I come in?ā he asked lightly against the door. Y/N went slowly and opened the door letting him in. As he came into the room, he placed the bandages and supplies for her wound. āCan I?ā he asked āYeah, go aheadā she answered lowly. He picked her up and sat her on the sink. Her chest pressed momentarily against his sending goosebumps all over her skin. As he placed her down, she took a deep breath slightly wincing.
āIām going to clean your wound, stay still.ā He whispered.
He grabbed the bandages and started patching up her wound gently. His hands caressed her skin slowly and delicately as if memorizing every inch of her skin. āIām all doneā said as he pressed his forehead against hers and both just stayed silent for a few moments just enjoying the silence and peace that surrounded them. āI donāt know what I wouldāve done if Iād lost you love. I donāt think I can handle losing you.ā He said lowly as he slowly moved his hands around the wounded area. āLosing me? Matt you almost had your head blown off. Iāve never been more terrified. What would have happened if I had frozen? The story would have been different, we wouldnāt be here. I would have lost you. I canāt take that Matty. I canāt lose youā Y/N replied as her hands slightly caressed his chin. āCāmon, letās go sleep. Itās been a long night and we have a long day in a few hours.ā Said Matt lowly.
The pair made their way to bed, Matt took his usual spot and Y/N laid next to him leaving a reasonable distance between them not wanting to intervene with his usual sleeping arrangement. Noticing her uncertainty Matt pulled her into his chest tangling themselves with each other drifting to sleep listening to each otherās heartbeat.
They were all seated in court, Y/N seated between the two lawyers and their client as they waited for the Senator to arrive. As if on queue the Senator appeared through the doors looking terrible. His face was swallowed all over, lip, eyebrow, and eye busted. By the way he walked you could see he was in constant pain and had a few broken ribs. Y/N felt Mattās hand lightly grip her thigh reassuring her that she wasnāt alone.
The trial began, each Lawyer presented their opening statements appealing to the judges. It took a few minutes as the process began unfolding itself. Y/N sat listening tuning in and out not being able to completely focus on her surroundings.
āSenator Welsh, for the charges of Sex trafficking, Drug manufacturing, Rape, Theft and Homicide. How do you plea?ā asked the Jury. There was a brief silence that overtook the courtroom. Anxiety and anticipation were felt across the room. āGuilty your honorā the Senator replied.
Gasps were heard across the room. His lawyer couldnāt comprehend what had just happened. Foggy looked over at you shocked but a grin quickly overtook his features, Mattās hands grabbed yours and brought it up to his lips to place a slight kiss of celebration. A congratulations on winning the case was given to your client as the Jury finalized his sentence. As he was being arrested his eyes found Y/Nās, he nodded his head slightly before being taken out of the room.
Foggy, Matt and Y/N now sat at the office taking a celebratory drink in honor of their win today.
āYou know, if we let Y/N beat up every guy that goes against us we might manage a sky scrapper office after allā said Foggy making her burst out laughing. Matt sat and just listened to their interaction with a smile on his face enjoying the banter that was going on.
āI donāt know Fogs the beating up itās more Mattyās department. You know? Daredevil and allā said Y/N while laughing.
Foggy burst out laughing once again āNahh, have you seen him after? He gets his ass beat constantly. I say you take his job or maybe give him a few classes.ā Said foggy teasing Matt.
āHear that Matty, Iām out for your hobbyā said Y/N while giggling. Matt couldnāt help but to join the laughter not being able to resist their antics anymore. āSure, Iāll let you borrow the suit sometimeā Ā added Matt causing another burst of laugh across the table.
āYou know, I feel like Iām the only person that doesnāt know how to fight in this office. Thatās not fair.ā Said foggy
āYou should be happy; you have two highly trained underpaid bodyguards to have your back,ā said Matt.
āYeah, I guess.ā Said foggy pouting. āAt least you donāt have to worry about Y/Nās safety anymore. You know, now that were aware that she can kick serious ass.ā Continued foggy.
They ended their day early at the office. Being to exhausted to continue their usual benders. Foggy went home first. Not far behind Matt and Y/N decided to head back to his apartment not being ready to part from each otherās presence yet. Once they arrived at his apartment they went directly to his room.
As they lied in bed tangled in each otherās embrace Matt place a kiss on her head. āYou know, he is wrong.ā Said Matt. Furring her brows in confusion she asked. āWho was wrongā. āFoggyā replied Matt. āHe said that I donāt have to worry about youā he said. āNot a day will go by that I wonāt worry for you doll. Even if youāre just a foot away.ā Finished. Y/N looked up and kissed him.
Their lips tangled against each otherās relishing on the others taste. Emotion poured out of them as their desire ran free. They laid enraptured in each otherās embrace for what felt like hours, to enamored with the other to worry about what life would bring them.
