_______________________________________________________
I was gathering up the files from our previous case after another win for Nelson (L/n) and Murdock.
“Yo (N/n)! Josie’s tonight come on we’re gonna get our drink on!” Foggy exclaimed.
“Sorry Fog but I’ve got plans tonight.” I told him as I stacked the pages away into a box and put them alongside our few other files.
“What can be more important than a game of pool and endless shots of eel?”
“I thought you gave up the eel after last time?” I asked.
“Trust me, he hasn’t.” Karen spoke up. As she grabbed her coat and put it on she asked me, “But seriously (Y/n) why not come along with us? This was mostly your case you should celebrate your victory. We’ll even buy all your drinks.”
“I appreciate it Karen but like I said. I’ve got plans tonight with someone.”
“Ahhh, the elusive Penelope you’ve been talking about. Finally made time to see her huh?” Matt said as he came out of his office.
“Zip it Murdock! But yes.” He chuckled as he wrapped an arm around me.
“Seriously this is unfair! Not only are girls attracted to your wounded, handsome duck that is Matt Murdock but there are girls attracted to the foxy, sassy BAB lawyer that is (Y/n) (L/n). Save some for the rest of us will yah?” Foggy whined.
“Aww Foggy. You know you will always be my number 1 man right?” I said as I went over and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulled him down and repeatedly kissed his cheek which made him whine in disgust.
“So much for loyalty.” Matt playfully jabbed.
“Number 1 blonde man. Most girls would go for someone like Steve Rogers no. If I were like most girls, I’d go for Foggy bear over here.” I said as I jabbed my finger into Foggy’s side.
“Okay, okay, okay, okay. Well anyway we’ll drink in your honor my fair lady! To Josie’s!!!” Foggy exclaimed with his hand raised upward and spun towards the door before trudging out.
“Have fun on your date tonight (Y/n). I know how you’ve felt about this Penelope girl.” Karen said as she hugged me.
“Thanks Kare, I’m just really nervous about tonight. How’s my hair? Is my makeup still good?”
“You look beautiful as always.” She said. “And there’s no need to be nervous. She’s gonna love you.” We gave each other a sisterly kiss on the cheek and then she walked out of the office.
“Still sure you won’t need a chaperone or at least an escort there, it’s the least I can do?” Matt said.
“No thank you for your offer but the park’s not that far. My bike can get me there in plenty of time.” Matt walked up to me and he said.
“I know. But you can’t blame me for worrying about you sometimes. You’re like the little sister I never had.”
“Same here Murdock.”
“I hope you mean but replacing little sister with big brother?”
“No it’s exactly what you said.” I teased with a laugh. Matt shoved me which made me laugh harder and I said. “Kidding, kidding I’m kidding! In seriousness though Matt I know. But I promise, I’ll be okay. I’ve got my taser with me and I promise to only stay in the entrance of Central Park.”
“And if anything comes up, anything at all. Just give me a call okay?”
“Okay dad.” I stressed out the word ‘dad’ in the lowest range I could hit. Matt shook his head at me as he pulled me close.
“Come on let’s lock up for the night.” The two of us walked out of the office building and he walked me over to my bike. A red Yamaha V Star 250 that sported an LGBTQ flag at the rear.
“Have fun. But not too much fun, I don’t wanna get a call from the police saying my friends are out on the streets intoxicated. It’s bad for the firm yah know.” I advised him.
“I’ll make sure Karen and Foggy don’t overdo it. And I’ll make sure they stay far away from the eel as possible.” He said with a nonchalant wave of his hand. I started my bike up and revved her up before riding down the road to meet Penelope.
Once I got to Central Park, just like we agreed I parked my bike near the entrance of the park along 59th street. I took off my helmet and shut off my engine and set my helmet along the seat. I hopped over the curb and took out my phone and texted Penelope.
‘Just arrived. Can’t wait to see you 😉’ I hit sent and soon enough I saw the little bubbles from our text train and she replied back.
‘Can’t wait to see you too mi vida <3 xoxox’. My heart skipped a beat as I ran my fingers through my hair and exhaled deeply. This was it, I was gonna meet my girlfriend for the first time in person. After seven months of texting and facetime each other, we finally were able to get some time off to finally see each other in person.
I waited and waited and waited. The night air of New York growing colder and colder by the second as I just stood there. I kept looking down at my phone every few seconds but it felt like hours as I waited for her to arrive.
Suddenly out of the darkness I saw someone coming towards me. It looked like her body shape and finally when she came under the lights there she was in all her glorious, proud Puerta Rican beauty. When she saw me, she raised her hand and raced over to me and I ran over to her and we embraced each other.
“Oh my god I can’t believe this!” I said into her heavy fur coat.
“Me neither mi amor.” She whispered in my ear sending shivers up my body.
“Ohhh querida you know what Spanish does to me.” I moaned softly.
“I’ll talk to you dirty in Spanish all night if it meant I got to be with you.” I smiled and I leaned forward to give her a kiss. Her hands cupped my jawline as she kissed me back with a bit more passion than me. Her tongue peeking out trying to ask for entrance.
“Maybe later, right now we better get to the restaurant before they give our table away.” I told her.
“Before we do, can we just—take a stroll through the park. I’ve always wanted to see Central Park but never got the chance to come here since I moved here.” I looked into the park.
I was no fool, even native New Yorker’s know that Central Park was a whole other place once the sun set.
“I don’t think that’s such a good idea Penelope.”
“Why not?” she pouted.
“Central Park isn’t just America’s famous park for no reason. At night, especially around this time. It’s a very, very, very dangerous place. Not even born and bred New Yorkers dare enter it’s endless pathways after dark.”
“Come on. You’re a kickass lawyer you can’t tell me you’re not afraid of putting the worst of the worst away but you’re afraid of a little park?” she sassed at me.
“I—don’t put the bad guys away I’m a Defense Attorney. Although my firm did help put away Wilson Fisk but anyway that’s beside the point! I promise you, we’ll do a morning tour. They’re a lot of fun, plus we’ll see all the statues and architecture clearer during the day.” She walked up to me, took my hand and her face right up to mine, her lips trailing along the side of my ear.
“But during the night, no one will be able to see us together. Making passionate love under the full moon and the stars.” Her hand slowly slid down and lightly groped my ass.
“Penelope I—” that’s when she really turned on the Spanish charm, whispering seductively in my ear. Placing kisses along my skin making my heart race. “I…..” I felt her drag me towards the park entrance, a seductive grin along her face. God did she look so ethereal under the light of the moon.
Okay maybe if we just stayed as close to the entrance as possible. I walked over to her and kissed her once again but this time with passion. She kissed me back with the same ferocity.
“That’s my sexy abogado.” We proceeded to make out under the moon and stars. Our hands trailing over the other’s body, our lips meshing together either softly or with passion. She soon took off my jacket and began to unbutton my blouse one button at a time. A smirk across her face as her tongue slowly licked her lips lustfully.
Oh god she was so sexy like this. I knew she had a dominant side and I’ll admit I can be submissive if I wanted to, and boy did I want to. Once she was done, she removed my blouse exposing my body to the cold. Goosebumps instantly rising over my skin as her nails slowly dragged down from my ribs to my stomach.
I closed my eyes and smiled and even let out some giggles as she would give me a few tickles on my stomach. She leaned down and began to give me kisses along my stomach as well. However that’s when I heard the rustle of some bushes. Oh shit!
“Penelope. Penelope stop. Stop! Shhh shh!” she came over to me and I immediately put myself in front of her. That’s when three big guys stood over us and a big black man said.
“Well look what we’ve got here boys.” His two goons laughed. I buttoned my blouse back up and told them.
“Look. We don’t want any trouble here. We were just leaving. If you let us go now, we won’t press any charges against you.”
“Nah see we can’t let that happen. Especially not after what we just saw.” Oh god everytime.
“I know you have a say to say your opinion but you can’t stop two people from falling in love. Would it be any different if either of us were a guy and you came in and saw us making out?”
“Actually it’s a huge difference. See the world we live in, it’s always been one way. Men and women. Nothing more and nothing less. Sure you could cheat or have a threesome but—to see pieces of shit like you doing the stuff that you do……it’s not right. Not right by us and not right by what’s in the word of God.”
“I understand that. Believe me I’ve got a friend who—basically grew up with religion. But does it also not say in the New Testament that God and Jesus loves everyone. No matter what race, gender or sexuality.”
“That’s cute princess, but you’re wrong. All of you are wrong.” With a snap of his fingers his two good came after us. I grabbed Penelope and we ran towards my bike. Before I got on it, Penelope pulled me away and said.
“No time this way!” she and I ran down the street with the two men gaining right up on us until she turned us into an alleyway. We threw down trashcans, boxes, old crates, anything to slow them down until we came to the other side of the alleyway. “The warehouse come on!”
We ran towards the warehouse and she closed the door before locking it up. We both collapsed to the ground panting heavily. I cupped her face and asked her if she was okay. She nodded and I quickly took out my phone to call Matt.
I knew I shouldn’t disrupt their celebration but tonight Daredevil needed to make his appearance (yeah I’ve known about his vigilante acts for a while now. Even before Foggy knew).
“Who are you calling?”
“A friend. Don’t worry he’ll come and help us.”
“Oh I wouldn’t think so sweetheart.” A voice spoke up. Soon coming out from various spots were more goons. Most were men but there were some women and they all wore black biker jackets but what sickened me was the emblem on their breast pockets. It showed the LGBTQ flag however it showed a black line across it like the DO NOT ENTER sign.
Oh god. This is a hate crime gang. I turned and saw one of the women hand Penelope the very same Jacket and she put it on with dignity and pride as she glared at me.
“Penelope?” I asked bewildered.
“It’s Rita to you bitch. God for a lawyer you really are incredibly stupid. How could you not see it before?” I looked around to see some of the men take out baseball bats and the ladies stroking their knuckles as I saw the gleam of brass.
My heart sunk as I saw the gang starting to circle around me like wolves to a meal.
*Matt’s POV*
I took a shot of my whiskey, god it really was dry not the best but it’s Josie’s so what can you do.
“How do you think (Y/n)’s date is going?” Karen asked as I heard her take a shot at the pool table.
“If I know that girl, she and her lady lover are probably getting it on right about now.” Foggy said. I rolled my eyes and that’s when my phone recording spoke (Y/n)’s name.
“Speak of the devil.” I said. I took my phone out and answered it. “(Y/n)?”
‘God for a lawyer you really are incredibly stupid. How could you not see it before?!’ a voice spoke in the background. I could hear no other voice except for the sounds of aluminum bats being played with. Oh god no!
“I have to go!” I said as I hung up my phone.
“What is it Matt is something wrong?” Foggy asked.
“Is (Y/n) okay?” Karen asked urgently.
“I think she’s in trouble.” I said. I heard their hearts spike in fear.
“Wait what are you going to do?” Karen asked.
“I’m going to find her.”
“Matt let us come with you!” Foggy demanded.
“No Foggy. I—I will handle this. But call Mahoney and say it’s a penal code 485!” I trudged my way out of Josie’s bar and immediately raced to my apartment.
*My POV*
My body was numb and in so much pain. I don’t know how long they tortured me. Each of them took a turn to either beat or kick the living shit out of me. I was dragged before shoved into a wall of crates. Pen—Rita I should say knelt down in front of me, a snide smirk spread across her face.
“Aww why so glum mi vida? Don’t you have anything to say to me?” I remained stoic as I stared her down. I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of getting any rise from me. It was then I felt her slap me across the face, her nails scratching my cheek as I fell to the ground.
“Finish her off.” I heard her say. A big fat guy came in with the aluminum bat, readying it to strike me with as many fatal blows to the head as possible to finally finish me off.
However that strike never came down upon me, in fact no more pain did. I could hear the sounds of a fight going off, men grunting and women screaming as they fled into the darkness. I could hear the men screaming in pain as the sound of their bones cracked before being silenced. Soon all went still and quiet.
“Oh Jesus. Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no (Y/n)? (Y/n) please tell me you can hear me!” I was very gently picked up and I looked up to see Matt in his Daredevil attire. Red suit and all.
“Matt?” I croaked out.
“I’m here I’m here. I’m gonna get you out of here (Y/n). I have you. It’s okay. I’m gonna pick you up now okay?”
“It hurts……it hurts Matty!”
“Shhhh, I know. I know. I’ll try to be gentle okay? Ready?” I gave a brief nod and he softly counted backwards from three before lifting me up. The pain in my leg screamed at me as it merely just hung there limp.
“GAHH!!!” I exclaimed.
“Shh, I know. I know I can feel it. I won’t hold you up for long I promise. Just keep your eyes on me okay? Can you do that for me?” it hurt to nod so I just let out a soft groan. “I’ll take that as a yes.” He walked me out of that hell house and I felt my vision going dark.
“Matt……I—I can’t…..” I whispered.
“No, no, no. no, no! Don’t you give up on me (Y/n). Don’t you dare give in. Not now help’s on the way just hang on! I promise. Here look at me. Who did this to you? Can you tell me who did this to you? Do you remember a name? A symbol? Anything.”
“Penelope…..Penelope.” I whispered.
“Penelope? Wait you don’t mean your Penelope?”
“Hate group……Catfishing…..tricked me.” Soon I passed out. Matt’s voice becoming only a blur, even his screams soon fell faint to my ears.
Next thing I knew I woke up in the hospital surrounded by flowers, my favorite candies and balloons. And one stuffed animal at the foot of my bed, a stuffed (f/a) holding a Valentine’s day heart to its chest.
“You’re awake.” Matt’s voice spoke up. I slowly turned but it hurt to move my body. “Try not to move. Your body is in serious pain. 10 broken ribs, dislocated pelvis, broken leg, shattered collarbone, and bruises on your bruises.”
“Wh—what happened?”
“You managed to call me and I heard you getting ganged up on. You told me that Penelope tricked you into the clutches of an Anti-LGBTQ gang’s warehouse. I-I thought……” he sighed heavily. I slowly reached out and took his hand.
“I’m alive because of you.” I told him. “If anything I should be the one apologizing.” The guilt finally sunk in.
Honestly how could I be so naïve? The second she pulled me into the park without a second thought, how did I not see it?
“No.” he firmly said as he gently gave my hand a comforting squeeze. “Don’t do that to yourself. You’re not to blame here.”
“Did you get them all?”
“Unfortunately not. Most of them yes but some escaped before I had the chance to get to them. Including Penelope.”
“Rita. Her real name is Rita.” I sneered lowly. The door opened and in came Mahoney along with a couple detectives.
“Ms. (L/n). My name’s Detective Taylor, this is my partner Detective Deacon. We’d like to ask you some questions about the gang that attacked you.” An older man around his early 40’s spoke. He had shirt tuff of dark hair and green eyes while his partner had slightly longer brown hair and blue eyes.
“Can’t this wait until tomorrow?” Matt snapped.
“Murdock you know they can’t.” Mahoney said.
“She just woke up from being unconscious for a full 24hrs!”
“Murdock.” I croaked. I groaned as I tried to adjust myself up. Matt reached out to help me but I stopped him. “This is my case. Not yours. Now please leave so I can give my statement to these detectives.” Through his glasses I knew his blind eyes were staring straight at me in rage.
I gave his hand another firm squeeze and I finally saw his body release his tension.
“Very well Ms. (L/n).” with that he left along with Mahoney and Detective Deacon took out his pen and pad and said to me.
“As best as you can remember, tell us everything that happened.”
For the next several weeks the cops and Matt tracked down the remaining members of the LGBTQ-CATFISHERS. A group of Anti-LGBTQ supporters that make fake dating profiles to lure in any local members of LGBTQ, gain their trust and affection before luring them to their warehouse where they could proceed to as they put it:
“Put the Wrath of God into them and Beat them Straight.”
And when the day of my trail came—oh man it was not a pretty sight. Of course Foggy and Matt tried to ensure that Nelson, (L/n) and Murdock were the ones to take this all the way to court however since they were my partners in the law firm, the judge saw that it would be too unbiased of them to represent me.
So we went with the next best thing from a mutual firm over at Hogarth’s. All members went for a not guilty plea (what else) and going up on the stand to stare them all, especially Rita in the eye as I retold the events of what happened to me.
When the verdict came in for all members being tried as GUILTY, Matt, Foggy and Karen embraced me as all members of the gang were given Life without parole. All of them were in shock that they were given such a sentence for something they believed was not even worth going to trial for. To which the judge told them.
“It’s a new millennium. Maybe you should have a look at a calendar.”
Five months after the trial and life was slowly going back to normal. At least I could finally walk without a cast anymore, however mentally I wasn’t all the way there at times.
Obviously there was the nightmares. It even got so bad at one point, Matt actually came in during his nightly patrols and asked me to move in with him. To which I agreed with and I’ve been living with him ever since.
“(Y/n)? (Y/n)? (Y/n)!” I snapped out of my daze and saw Foggy outside my office. “We’re closing up.”
“Oh. Right. Th-thanks Foggy.” I packed up my stuff and felt my left leg go stiff. Even though I was out of the cast, I could still feel the pain of feeling it break from the baseball bat that cracked it.
“You okay?” Foggy asked me. I remained silent as I slowly sat back down on my chair. My chest starting to tighten up as tears built up in my eyes.
“I’m sorry.” I choked out before a sob came out of my mouth. “I’m so sorry!” Foggy came up to me and embraced me as he said.
“Hey, hey, hey it’s alright. You’ve got nothing to apologize for (Y/n).” he assured me as his hand stroked down my hair and I sobbed into shoulder gripping his suit jacket tightly in my hands.
“Why me? Why did they target me?! I can’t help who I fall in love with or who I’m attracted to why can’t people just accept that and leave me alone? Why try to make me straight? It’s like my family all over again!” I ranted through my sobs.
“People suck. Even in a new age where people can come out openly unlike back in them olden days, some people are still stuck in the prehistoric times.” I chuckled at Foggy’s comparison. “Just know this (Y/n), you can’t let those people get inside your head. Like you said you can’t help who you choose to fall in love with. Men, women, both. Whether you love them but don’t want the sex or whatever it is that you kids are coming up with nowadays.”
God you can always count on Foggy to cheer you up.
“All I care about is that you are a kick-ass lesbian lawyer who redefined the world for young girls like you who think that just because they choose a certain sexuality or gender, they still have a shot of being whatever they want to be.”
“That’s true.” Matt’s voice spoke up. We looked up and saw him leaning against my doorframe with his cane in his hands. I sniffled and wiped my tears with my sleeve. That’s when Foggy picked up my box of tissues and held it out for me. I nodded to him in thanks as I grabbed a tissue and dried my eyes as well as wiping my nose.
“What would I do without you guys?” I asked.
“Still a kickass lawyer that could’ve played for the other team instead of being here with us as DA’s.” Foggy replied.
“If she had Fog then we’d really be screwed. I seem to recall the time she swiped the floor with you at a mock trail back at college.” Matt teased which made me laugh.
“I know. Damn girl I still can’t begin how you did it that day. Recovering from that sorority party and coming to our dorm totally wasted and yet was still able to talk circles around me.”
“Advil?” I shrugged.
“Hey, why don’t we just go out? Tonight like the old days.” Foggy suggested.
“Uhh Fog I don’t know if—”
“I can take a night off.” Matt spoke up. I looked at him wide eyed and mouth slightly gaped as did Foggy.
“Really? I’ve been trying to get you to come out with me for years since you became Daredevil and you say no everytime. But she gets hurt and you immediately drop the vigilante act for one night.”
“Guess you need to be cuter.” Matt said with a shrug.
“You twisted, blind-eyed son of a bitch.”
“You sure Matt? I know what it means to you and I…..”
“It’s fine (Y/n). Things have been quiet these past couple nights. Plus I could use a night off every once in a while that doesn’t have to involve a victory in court.”
“AWESOME! And I think I know just the place we can go to.” Foggy said. We all got up and walked together to the heart of Hell’s Kitchen where the best place I knew we would have a good time.
Madame La Rue’s.
The best party bar in all of Hell’s Kitchen. Anytime someone wants to party or to unwind everyone is welcome. It’s also a safe haven for those of the LGBTQ community because well—
“As I live and breathe the famous lawyers of Nelson, (L/n) and Murdock have returned to our humble abode.” A black female transgender spoke as her hands were firmly placed on her hips. She wore her usual sparkling blue suit and overpriced pumps. Her wig was curled to the max and stood up high like a lion’s mane.
Each step she took toward us was with pride and dignity, like the Queen she was.
“Hey Mama Maura Lee.” I greeted her. She stood in front of me, her form towering over me by a foot and she told me.
“You better give me the biggest goddamn hug for worrying me like that little miss.” I smiled and came up to her and we both embraced each other.
Back in my old state of (h/s), when I was 15 and came out to my parents as a lesbian. My mother just about had a heart attack and my dad well—he couldn’t even look me in the eye and would give me the silent treatment. Mom then tried to talk me out of it that my sexuality was just a ‘teenage phase’ I was going through and would try to set me up with some of her friend’s sons. For two years I was living in an absolute hell but I tried to push on and graduate high school as my class’s school Valedictorian. Within an hour I packed my bags and just drove all the way up here to New York City.
However with hardly any cash and no plan I was practically living in my car. One summer night, Maura found me sleeping on a bus bench (I had just sold my car to a dealer for some more money but not enough to pay one month’s rent) and she took me to her place for a shower and warm food. We got to know each other that night and she said she’d be willing to allow me to stay in her place till I got on my feet with a plan.
After getting a job I told her that I wanted to go to college and study law. She then offered me a deal, if I helped around her club, she would be willing to pay my scholarship to get into Columbia University. At first I tried to reject her offer since she had done so much for me but she refused to take no for an answer.
She told me she saw me as her own daughter and if she could have a hand in helping to make the world a better place, she didn’t care how much it would cost. And the rest is history.
“How are you feeling dear?” she asked me as we separated from our embrace.
“More or less. Definitely staying away from dating and focusing more on work and of course these two knuckle heads.” I gestured to Matt and Foggy.
“Mm-hmm lord knows these two boys would be lost without you sweetie.” Maura said.
“Hey Mama Maura.” Foggy and Matt greeted her with a wave.
“I swear you both are getting handsomer everytime I see you.”
“Mama!” I exclaimed at her.
“Oh honey can’t a woman have her fun?” she said with a wink.
“Always a pleasure to be flirted by a Queen like you Mama Maura.” Matt said.
“Oh Matthew darling you are a charmer. All the ladies must be falling at your feet everytime you flash them that dazzling smile of yours.” Mama Maura said.
“He’s always had that problem when it came to finding beautiful women. And as always I’ve gotta suffer from it.” Foggy said.
“Now, now don’t get disgruntled Foggy dear. The right girl is out there somewhere for you. Heaven knows we need more gentlemen like you in the world.”
“Thanks Mama.”
“So kiddies, the usual booth?”
“Actually can we get a table?” I asked her.
“Sure thing dear. Follow me.” She led us through the crowd and down the steps that led to the dining area/dance floor. And right up against the back was a large wide stage. Dancers and performers were up on stage and some people were already getting their groove on the dancefloor. “Here we are my fine kittens of the Law.”
Foggy pulled out my chair and I thanked him and I pulled out Matt’s chair as Mama Maura helped Matt sit down.
“Specials tonight are vodka martinis and Mojitos and a new deal we’ve got going on every Wed. is get two cocktail get the other at half price.”
“Think we’ll go with the Cocktails.” Foggy said.
“Coming right up Foggy bear.” She said to him with a wink before walking off.
“I can’t believe you wanted to come here.” I said.
“Why not? You used to work here after all, plus, and no offense to Josie’s, Maura lets us drink for free.”
“When she feels like it Fog.” Matt told him.
“I remember when you first brought us here. Man did we crash karaoke night or what.” Foggy said reminiscing back during our college days together when I first brought them here not only to relax after finals but also to come out to them.
“I barely remember anything from that night. I’m still racking my brain trying to wonder just how you ended up in the room with Suzie and Matt and I ended up with glitter and doodles of dicks on our faces.” I said.
“That was definitely a wild night. Even for me.” Matt said. Maura came back with our drinks and we thanked her and she said.
“You’re welcome anything for my three favorite kittens. I swear it’s like I’ll need to file a lawsuit just to get you three to come over here.”
“We’ll try better Mama Maura. Cases have just been piling up on us.” Matt told her.
“I know Matt I’m just pulling your leg. The world—is a cruel, cruel place. It needs people like you to help make it seem not as dark or lost. Especially to the folks here.”
“We try our best Mama.” Foggy said.
“I know you do Foggy. I know all three of you do. And I couldn’t be prouder of how much you three have grown into your own firm. If you need anything else, call me over.” She walked off and we bid her goodbye for now.
“Well, here’s to—” Foggy said as he picked up his cocktail.
“Making the world a better place.” I said raising my glass. Matt picked up his and we cling our glasses together before taking a sip of our drinks.
As the night went on we kept talking about stories of the past and trying to forget the weight of our jobs for once.
“I just remember feeling so afraid of revealing well—you know to you guys. Especially Matt.” I said.
“Gurl please. Matt would rather get his ass whooped tenfold and be standing on death’s door than give you up. Even if he had, you know I’ve got your back and would’ve beat his ass to apologize to you if he acted like a jerk-ass to yah.” Foggy said as he downed the last of his 4th cocktail.
I turned around but was horrified to see that Matt was gone. His jacket still hanging over his chair and his drink abandoned.
“Foggy. Foggy did you see where Matt went?” I asked urgently.
“Probably to take a leak? I don’t know.” I looked around and could see the place getting a little too crowded. Now I knew Matt could take care of himself but I also know that he could’ve had a sensory overload with all this noise in an enclosed space. I feared he might’ve had a panic attack or got lost in the crowd.
“Excuse me could I have everyone’s attention please?” oh my god…..my attention turned to the stage and there stood Matt Murdock with a microphone in his hand and his cane resting in his other. The crowd and music got quiet as he continued, “I know I don’t come here much, and I’m….not much of a singer but this is a song I’d like to dedicate to a good friend—wait scratch that. To the best goddamn little sister in the world, (Y/n) (L/n) ladies and gentlemen.”
A spotlight shined down on me and the crowd cheered for me. I looked up at Matt who was just staring in my general direction with that famous Matt Murdock smile of his that made women weak in the knees, but to me it brought comfort and a brotherly love.
A song soon started up and Matt first spoke into the microphone. Oh my god no he did not. He knows this is my favorite song in the whole wide world and not just because it’s Kelly Clarkson.
After speaking the introduction, he began singing. I stared up at him lovingly as I placed my hand over my heart at his sweet gesture. He extended his hand out for me to take and come up there and join him. I turned to Foggy and he gave me a smile and nodded telling me to go.
*Matt*
We come into this world unknown
But know that we are not alone
They try and knock us down
But change is coming, it's our time now
Hey, everybody loses it
Everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes
And hey, yeah I know what you're going through
Don't let it get the best of you, you'll make it out alive
I stood up and the audience cheered for me as I walked up on stage. I took Matt’s hand and he pulled me up on stage we stood face to face his forehead leaning down until it rested against mine.
Like two cats nuzzling each other, he nuzzled his face against mine the tip of his nose occasionally grazing my forehead and I would nuzzle him back. At the ‘keep your head up’ I felt his fingers lift my chin up which made me smile. Our hands now joined with each other’s as we both took hold of the single microphone.
When the chorus kicked up, Matt and I stood shoulder to shoulder leaning over the mic as we sung proudly as we both found ourself bopping to the rhythm of the karaoke version of the song. We then walked towards opposite sides of the stage as Minnie, the drag queen DJ, handed me an extra microphone.
*Both*
Oh, people like us we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up, nothing lasts forever
Here's to the damned to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us
The crowd cheered for me as I stripped out of my overcoat and let my hair down fully from my bun. I walked across the stage over to Matt and quickly undid his tie which made some of the audience members go crazy. I looked over to our table and jogged over to Foggy wrapping Matt’s tie around him and pulled him to the stage.
As Foggy and I came on stage, Minnie gave Foggy his own mic and we all sung the bridge together standing side by side with my in the middle, Matt to my right and Foggy on my left.
Once again when the chorus came on, the lights flashed and this time the backup dancers in their flashy feather costumes came up behind us and danced while the three of us continued to sing. Foggy and I jumping up and down before I went over to Matt and he would hold a hand out for me and everytime I took his hand he’d give me a spin.
*Me*
Hey, this is not a funeral
It's a revolution, after all
Your tears have turned to rage
Just wait,
*Both*
Everything will be okay
Even when you're feeling like
It's going down in flames
Oh.
*All*
People like us we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up nothing lasts forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
Sing it for the people like us, the people like us
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
You've just gotta turn it up loud
When the flames get higher
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
Sing it for the people like us,
The people like us
Everyone was now on their feet and even singing along to the song for this really was a theme song for all those who felt like outcasts by some society’s standards. I stood on stage right while Matt and Foggy took stage left and at the last note of the bridge I sung that note with a proud and strong belt holding it out for a few seconds before panting softly and turning to the guys.
*All*
They can't do nothing to you,
They can't do nothing to me
This is the life that we choose,
This is the life that we bleed
So throw your fists in the air,
Come out, come out if you dare
Tonight we're gonna change forever
I sung the next line while my boys sung in a duet, the two of them staring at me with proud smiles. As we sung the bridge one last time we came to one another with Foggy circling around Matt so that he was facing the audience.
Matt lifted his hand into a fist at the word ‘damned’, Foggy held his fist which brushed against Matt’s knuckles at the word ‘lost’ and I followed with ‘forgotten’. We posed there for a second before we raised our fists in the air punching toward the ceiling.
Confetti came raining down from the rooftops and the lights continued to flash as the three of us continued to sing up until the end. The crowd singing along loud and proud.
*Me*
Everybody loses it
*Matt and Foggy*
Everybody wants to throw it all away sometimes
*All*
Oh, people like us we've gotta stick together
Keep your head up nothing lasts forever
Here's to the damned, to the lost and forgotten
It's hard to get high when you're living on the bottom
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
We are all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
Sing it for the people like us,
The people like us
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
You've just got to turn it up loud
When the flames get higher
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
Sing it for the people like us,
The people like us
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
We're all misfits living in a world on fire
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
Sing it for the people like us,
The people like us
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
You've just got to turn it up loud
When the flames get higher
Oh, woah-oh-oh, woah-oh
Sing it for the people like us,
The people like us
The crowd went crazy as they cheered for the three of us. I stood between my two best friends and embraced them tightly as we joined in on the cheering.
We now sat at the bar having a beer and I said after I took a swig of my beer.
“I have not had that much fun in years.”
“And you deserve to have fun! You just had to let it out. LET IT OUT!!” Foggy slurred as he got a little too close to my bubble. God Foggy was already steering off the path of sober street and entering shitfaced lane.
“Alright easy there champ.” Matt said as he pulled Foggy off of me and put him back onto his stool.
“In all seriousness guys, thank you. Tonight was—a start.”
“Anything is better than nothing.” Matt said as he held his beer up and I clanged mine softly against his.
