Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Chapter 5 The Devil From Hell's Kitchen

"You deserve to be rewarded. I bet the executives have already had a terrible headache for superhero compensation. Suddenly a beneficiary fell from the sky. You caught it firmly. Good job, girl." Jimmy said briskly , "Come on, have a drink and bring some new colleagues. You don't know them yet."

Lucy wanted to decline, but seeing Jimmy showing that abandoned dog's eyes, she finally had to give up and agree to Jimmy's request.They chose a bar where the legendary pizza tastes good enough to go to heaven. Of course, the most attractive thing about this bar is the half price on Ladies Monday.

After work, a few people chose to walk there. It was cold in New York in late autumn, and the wind was blowing, and Lucy was only wearing thin work clothes. Jimmy took off his windbreaker and wrapped it around Lucy, saying that the clothes were all for him. It's you, lend me some warmth, and then the two good brothers put their arms around her shoulders and leaned her into their arms.

Like a lover's pose.

But Lucy knows that Jimmy just regards her as the best friend in this city. They come from different cities to fight for their future in the body of a modern monster in New York. They lean together like hamsters to take care of each other. , keep each other warm, pull each other not to be left behind, Lucy is separated by a thin suit, listening to Jimmy's heartbeat, surrounded by a sense of security.

As the night falls in New York, the colorful lights reflect beautiful colors on the ground to block the erosion of the night. From time to time, the helicopter passing through the sky makes noise, and the laughter of people spreads from the subway entrance. This is Lucy's favorite New York. The point is that it is always full of people. Living in such a city, you will not be afraid of being alone.

They entered the loud bar and were squeezed to a small table.

"Apple Martini." Lucy went to the bar to order a drink.

"Girls here don't drink martinis." The plump proprietress gave Lucy a white look, and poured her a glass of vodka without even looking at it.

"Don't bully her, Claire." A man wearing sunglasses called the proprietress's name familiarly, "Are you going to get her drunk?"

"Her body is shaking under her skirt. I have to warm her up. If it's not vodka, wouldn't you warm her up, Matthew?" the landlady laughed loudly. "Same old beer?"

"No, apple martini." The man named Matthew said, the proprietress glared at Matthew, but it seemed that the man was completely unaware of the proprietress' displeasure and glaring.The proprietress mixed a glass of martini and put it heavily in front of the man, the liquid splashed a little. The man held the wine glass and pushed it to Lucy. He twirled his fingers on the table and replaced the vodka in front of Lucy. , Smiled at her.

Lucy didn't understand why so many men in New York City like to wear sunglasses at night, just when she was about to ask this question, the man called Matthew raised his arm: "Help me find an empty seat, please?" Pressing the automatic button on the short stick in his hand, three thin red and white tubes were poured out to form a stick for the blind.

Lucy realized her impoliteness, and hurried up to help him: "I didn't even realize that you are blind. Are you alone, do you want to come with us?"

"No, I have two other companions, they come from other places." Matthew said, Lucy helped him choose a seat, but did not leave, Matthew smiled and looked towards Jimmy's table , "I'm blind, but it's not that I can't take care of myself, your friends are still waiting for you, go have fun, friendly reminder, don't order the supreme pizza here, try the seaweed pizza."

Lucy smiled, turned around and glanced, Jimmy was waving to herself.

"How did you know they were looking for me?" Lucy wondered, this table was not close to Jimmy, but Matthew was able to find their location accurately.

"Sight is just a distraction, without it, you have other shortcuts to perceive what you want to know."

Lucy was stunned for a moment, feeling that this sentence was so familiar, she looked at the man in front of her, could this "Matthew" be the one she thought of.

Matthew Murdoch, Hell's Kitchen's demon enforcer, Daredevil.

Hell’s Kitchen is an area on the west coast of Manhattan Island, known as West Midtown, but the law and order situation is quite different from Midtown Manhattan. Irish gangs, Russian gangs, Italian mafia, Japanese ninja associations, and Chinese triads are all I have my own business in this area, but this bar is also a long way from Hell's Kitchen. It is a bit of a coincidence to meet Matthew Murdoch here.

Lucy suddenly felt like she was on the hook, meeting a superhero every three days. Of course, there are as many superheroes in the United States as there are in the river. The sky can block out the sun, but...she herself is just an ordinary person, and suddenly getting to know superheroes two or three times a week will make her feel like she has entered the main plot line.

Maybe she's really part of the main plot line?The peaceful life of the first two months was just the experience of Xinshou Village?Old Bob was an Inciting Event?

Lucy couldn't help her thoughts racing.

But don't, she still wants to live. Since she came to this world, she has been sure and certain that she is just an ordinary person, without the ability to fetch objects from the air, and she can't run fast, and she has never been injected with serum.She just wants to quietly raise enough money to study journalism, and later become an aspiring journalist, or more safely, an entertainment journalist.

"Oh, here they come." Matthew said suddenly, his ears moved, and Lucy saw a man and a woman coming straight to Matthew from the door.

The man greeted Lucy warmly, and then gave Matthew a wink with his butt: "Okay, Murdoch, we're only 10 minutes late, and you just hit on such a beautiful lady."

Hearing the three syllables of "Murdoch", Lucy's eyes went dark, and at the same time, she confirmed that the man and woman in front of her were probably Matthew Murdoch's friends and colleagues, Fudge Nelson and Karen Page.

Lucy picked up her wine glass and tried to act normal: "Since your friends have come, I'll go back."

Lucy passed through the crowd and came back to Jimmy. She sized up the legendary "Daredevil" with some curious eyes, and Matthew Murdoch met her gaze across the crowd. .Suddenly meeting the real body of a legendary superhero, and the other is a handsome guy, Lucy couldn't help her heart beat faster.

Come on, Lucy, he'll hear it!

Lucy reminded herself that Jimmy touched Lucy's arm: "Yo, Lucy, did you leave that handsome guy's phone number?"

"It's useless to stay, he can't see."

Jimmy glanced at Matthew curiously, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a blind person, but don't you really think about it? I heard that some blind people are gifted in many ways, and their vision greatly limits our ability Senses, and blind people will have special strengths in other areas, maybe it’s a little surprise?”

Matthew Murdoch, who had been locking his hearing on Lucy, showed a small smile not far away.

"Hush—" Lucy flicked Jimmy's head angrily.

"Don't worry, he can't hear what we're saying at this distance."

"No, I'm afraid he can hear it better than anyone else." Lucy bit her tongue regretfully after she finished speaking, and looked away from Matthew in some panic.

And Matthew Murdoch's smile froze with his back to her.

"Matthew, did you hear what we were saying?" Fudge patted Matthew, "Look what you're still giggling about."

"Excuse me, where did we talk just now?" Matthew coughed awkwardly.

"We're talking about the masked thug who beats people up in Hell's Kitchen every night."

Karen Page yelled dissatisfiedly: "Fudge, he saved my life."

"He killed people."

"He was wronged."

"Whether he killed someone or not, he has broken the boundaries of the law. We are lawyers, and we must use the weapon of law to punish lawbreakers." Fudge argued unwillingly.

Matthew was forced to turn his attention to the topic of his friends, but there was a question circling in his mind all the time, that girl, Lucy, what did she mean by that sentence just now?

Lucy had a great night of pizza and beer with her friends. Lucy had to admit that although she liked being alone, it came more from her rejection of the world, and she still longed for social interaction deep down.The three dart machines in the bar were already lit up, and the proprietress stood on the bar counter: "Dart night, the winner, the wine table is free!"

Jimmy jumped up excitedly: "Lucy, come on, we have to try." After speaking, he rushed towards the proprietress unsteadily, "Claire, I'm here to sign up!" He grabbed Lucy, "I'll give it to her too!" Sign up!"

"When you two rookies are throwing darts, I have to clear the field first." The proprietress pointed at the two with the tip of a pen, but quickly wrote down their names.

The darts game starts, 3 darts for a round, and the person with the highest score in each round will be the first person to throw darts in the next round.Jimmy's first shot was very exciting, and the result was good. He jumped down like a booster, and made a classic pose of Elvis Presley, which won warm applause from everyone.Lucy was second, although she only threw 3 darts like a fool, but she also successfully entered the next round.Who made most of the people competing with her drunk?

Soon there were three people left, and amidst the booing of the crowd, Jimmy was defeated and shook Lucy's hand: "Please, please, Lucy, it's up to you whether our table can be spared or not! "

Lucy walked to the dart machine as if she was being chased away, and the long-haired and bearded man who defeated Jimmy looked at Lucy with disdain: "Why are you here to join in the fun, I think you hit big in the first few rounds. Good luck! Come with me today, how about I settle the bill for your table?"

Lucy was holding three darts, and her palms were a little sweaty. She didn't want to lose to this wretched man, but she didn't have the confidence to surpass him.

"May I help you?" A magnetic voice appeared on the right side of Lucy, and Matthew looked at her from the crowd with a blind stick.

"Hahaha, a blind man wants to help girls throw darts, my God!!! Take out your mobile phones, uploading YouTube will definitely be a hit!" The long-haired man wiped the beer foam from his mouth, and All the drinkers laughed wildly.The crowd sitting on both sides of the dart machine quickly retreated behind Lucy and Matthew, for fear that these two people would drop their darts and throw them at themselves. The risk factor of blind throwing darts can reach 100%!

Lucy nodded, and then felt Matthew standing behind her, clinging to her body, putting his arms around her waist, and helping her adjust into a good posture.

"It turns out that the blind man wanted to take advantage of it." The long-haired man whistled, "But that girl is mine!"

"Don't let other voices disturb you." Matthew whispered, his right hand slid down her shoulder, held her wrist, covered her with a broad palm, and then raised her hand steadily, " Now tell me, did I aim for the center?"

"Needs to go a little higher."

"How much up?"

"Twenty degrees?"

"Very well, the dart needle is pointing up, we're going up to thirty degrees, are we there now?"

"Yes." Lucy said, taking a deep breath.

"Close your eyes," Matthew said.

"what?"

"Remember what I said, vision is just a distraction, it destroys your concentration, your willpower, it puts obstacles in front of your goal, it confuses your vision."

Lucy slowly closed her eyes following Matthew's deep voice.

"When you lose your eyesight, you find more shortcuts."

Matthew's hand led her arm to bend, and then flung it out forcefully.

All quiet.

Lucy slowly opened her eyes, the dart landed firmly in the bull's-eye, and the long-haired man and the others dropped their jaws to the ground.Suddenly Jimmy burst into cheers, and the whole bar whistled one after another, applauding for the scene in front of him.Lucy turned around and looked at Matthew, and Matthew slowly put down Lucy's hand, leaning on crutches: "Miss Lucy Lang, am I lucky enough to be able to get your phone number?"
