(Billy's P.O.V)

I strafed to the left, escaping the energy beam while pulling closer to the man with the Chitauri weapon.

He pressed on the trigger, releasing another shot my way. The collapsed dumpster behind me shot out towards my front, held aloft by TK, blocking the attack.

The metal shredded even more. Regular bullets poked holes on it's surface as I shoved the wrecked piece of metal forward through the entrance I'd made.

"Dodge!"

One of the men yelled to the others as he jumped away, evading being crushed by the metal.

One of them wasn't as lucky and fortunately for me, it was the one with the high tech Chitauri weapon.

The remains of my improvised shield slammed onto his body, carrying him up the steps of the staircase.

He landed with an oof! and the metal groaned, bending around his body and holding his limbs to his sides.

I pulled the high tech gun to me and sent it to my Hammer space. It was an alien weapon after all, sue me.

Without the danger of the powerful gun, I stepped inside the building with a smirk.

"Shall we dance?"

I called out into the room.

"Aaaaahhhh!!"

One of them yelled, running towards me with a machete of all things.

"Dammit Johnny get back!"

The one who seemed like the Leader shouted ineffectually.

"Why? Let him come."

I chuckled, waving a hand and tying Johnny's shoe laces together.

The man slipped and fell, the landing completely leaving him breathless and sprawled on the ground.

More bullets started flying my way as the goons recovered and got organized.

I flew towards 3 gathered in one place. Snatching their guns away, I slammed a kick into one, the impact throwing him to collide against one of his friends.

The last one I covered with Telekinesis, throwing him to the ceiling before releasing him to fall on the ground.

"That's 6 down. Only 4 remaining. You guys better give up."

I spoke out, directing my voice down into the basement.

The leader and three others were waiting for me to step down before they unleashed everything they had at me.

Everything.

I could read their minds and they were just inching to put me down. Especially after I'd taken down half of their group.

So I calmly and fearlessly floated down the stairs. Sparks lit up through the stairway as bullets bounced off my shield, landing on the railing and the metal frames along the wall.

The overhead light was torn apart by the projectiles.

The first gun clicked empty as I arrived at the bottom, completely unharmed. I floated forward, hands crossed over my chest.

One of them, a guy with a goatee and sunglasses indoors, reloaded his gun, aimed it and pulled the trigger at my forehead.

The bullet bounced off my TK aura, digging into his friend's leg.

"Gah! Fuck is wrong with you man!?"

His friend yelled at him, cradling his thigh.

I raised an eyebrow, amused.

"Was that really necessary?"

The gun flew out of his hands and into mine. I used TK and right before their shocked eyes, squeezed the weapon into a metallic ball.

King-pin's men looked at each other before they raised their hands in surrender.

I extended a mental feeler into their minds, influencing them.

"You guys gather everyone injured, tie them up and wait for the cops. They'll be here in..."

I spread out my Psionic range even further.

"A few minutes. They're only a block away."

The mental suggestion took hold and they

begun carrying out my orders.

Meanwhile my mind was on something more immediate. That sweep with my mind had shown me that Daredevil had been captured and was getting ready to be executed.

Without wasting time I blasted through the final door, selectively throwing back everyone with a gun before they could so much as react to my presence.

The cuffs on Daredevil's wrists snapped after I applied pressure on them. He tugged his hands free and immediately rolled on the ground, grabbing his Eskrima sticks and then jumping up to deliver a knee strike on King-pin's face.

"Get the girls out of here!"

He yelled, beginning to trade blows with Fisk who, holy hell, was fucking huge.

It was amazing to see the much smaller Matt go up against the fucking King pin and hold his own.

Realizing I had my own part to play, I pulled all the weapons in the room to me and then turned them to point at each of King Pin's men.

"Act funny, get a hole in your body."

I warned.

"Put your hands behind the backs of your heads and step away from the girls."

They looked at each other before complying. Next I turned my attention to the girls.

"It's okay. We are here to rescue you. Help each other and leave through the door. There's a stairway that will take you out of the building. We're right behind."

I spoke directly into their minds.

Most of them were asian teens, with various degrees of scars and bruises.

"No!"

Fisk roared, throwing Daredevil off him.

"They are not going anywhere!"

He barked, running towards me with the force of a Juggernaut.

His punch was deceivingly quick, totally unexpected from a man of his size. It also failed to do much, harmlessly landing on my cheek without so much as moving me a single step.

I mean a bullet had failed. Despite Fisk's considerable strength he was still human.

I looked at him unfazed.

"Really? that's it? Okay, it's my turn now."

Saying that, I pulled my own hand back, closing the fingers into a fist and thrust it forward.

The fist stopped mere inches from his face. The area behind him however, suffered a telekinetic apocalypse.

A pressure wave threw everything back, causing the stacked crates to slam onto the furthest wall and shatter, more Chitauri guns falling out in a mess.

Kingpin blinked.

"Whoever you are, you have cost me millions of dollars... I'll be coming for you."

He promised.

I had to admire his courage. Despite witnessing what I could do, the man was not in the least not worried.

Then again, neither was I

"I'll be waiting."

I told him, applying pressure to his skull, restricting blood flow and causing the much bigger man to take a knee and then collapse next to my feet.

Daredevil's Eskrima stick passed right next my cheek as it slammed onto a goon trying to grab one of the Chitauri weapons on the ground.

I'd of course sensed him but still.

"Thanks."

I nodded at the more experienced hero.

"You had my back as well."

He said, turning to face King Pin's men, still held hostage by the guns hanging in the air overhead.

"You have something to deal with them?"

He asked.

I extended more mental feelers out, touching upon their minds and giving them the same treatment that I gave their friends.

"Surrender to the cops once they arrive."

Their eyes glazed over as the suggestion took hold.

"What's about these weapons?"

I asked Matt.

"It's evidence. Along with the drugs and the money."

He said, leaving the room.

I looked around and sure enough apart from the guns, there was a desk with bags of coke and a stack of money inside a half opened bag.

Score!

No more suffering!

No more instant Ramen.

"Hey wait up!"

I called out, using Telekinesis to amplify my voice.

It was just loud enough that Daredevil missed the very very slight sound of a couple grand floating out of the bag and into my hammer space.

I couldn't take all of the money as it was still evidence. But what I had taken was more than enough.

A few minutes later, the Devil of Hell's Kitchen and I watched on as the Cop led out Kingpin and his men.

Paramedics had also been called in for the girls.

"I can't believe we just captured the Kingpin."

I said, sighing out into the New York night.

It felt as if that whole thing had taken more time that it actually did. In actuality only 20 minutes had passed.

"This is only half the battle won."

Daredevil said.

"The other half will happen in the courtroom."

"Yeah but with the evidence we found, surely the police can build a solid case against him."

It made sense. How was Fisk going to explain his way out of a cache of highly illegal weapons, drugs and stacks of money?

Not to mention the witness statement from the girls.

Daredevil got to his feet.

"This is an age of flying men and gods. In comparison, one man escaping the law is not too surprising."

He stared at me with his mask's completely white eye holes.

"Thanks for tonight Kid. Next time leave the money where you find it."

With that he jumped off the edge of the roof.

Fuck. He knew.

Still it was cool that he wasn't making a big deal out of it.

"Thank you Matt."

I whispered too low for even him to hear.

(General P.O.V)

A few buildings away, Daredevil smiled as he hopped onto another rooftop.

"You're welcome kid."
