When Matt had first come to Gotham after the dimensional crash, it had only been in pursuit of The Hand, who had fled there almost immediately after the event. He’d had every intention of returning to Hell’s Kitchen once he was done with dealing with the shadowy organization of ninjas, but it had only taken a short amount of time being in Gotham for him to realize that wasn’t going to happen. Hell’s Kitchen had it’s problems, but thanks to his work as Daredevil over the last year, the people there were in no immediate danger. But Gotham, even with all of it’s heroes, was still an extremely dangerous place, which meant it was where Matt felt he was most needed, and that it was where he would stay until that was no longer true.
It had been a busy night for The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, now The Devil of Gotham. He had been in search of The Hand, but so far, had not had any luck in finding them. However in his search, he had prevented several crimes from being done by common criminals, including the mugger he had just laid out, who he now held tight against a brick wall. “Listen to me very carefully, you’re not going to hurt anyone ever again. That’s not a request, it is a demand, and trust that if you choose not to obey it, I will know, and I will come for you, and the beating that I just gave you will be nothing compared to the one you’ll get next time. Now, what you are going to do, is you’re going to go around to all of your criminal friends, and you’re going to tell them that The Devil has arrived in Gotham, and if they know what’s good for them, they’ll stop with their sins, because if they don’t, The Devil will come for them.” He paused for a moment to listen to the heartbeat and breathing of a lingering presence nearby that he surprisingly, hadn’t heard approach, before he continued. “Do you understand everything I just told you?” He concluded, waiting for the thug to nod, before he released him from his grip. Now turning to the lingerer, Matt was silent as he waited for them to say something about what they wanted, or why they were here.
