206 Chapter 206
"Hello my former lawyer, fancy seeing you here." I said as Matt Murdock groggily sat up with his eyes closed.
He clutched his head. "Layla? What am I doing out here?" He asked without looking around.
"You got mind controlled by a B-Rate supervillain rapist who wanted to use you to capture me." I said.
When I mentioned the R-word Matt had a look of panic on his face. He reached down towards his own butt…
I laughed at his expression. "Relax. He only went after women." I told him.
I think…
Matt sighed out in relief. "Thank you for freeing me…What happened to the villain?"
I shrugged. "No idea. Hestia and Frigga took him away with them." I said honestly. Those two had taken off, after the scuffle, and headed back home. I asked Frigga to pick up the girls after school so I was free for the rest of the day!
[Weren't you going to talk to Heather about the whole 'mom' thing? You're just having Frigga pick them up to put off that conversation aren't you?]
'...No…' How could the System think I would do something like that? I'm a powerful Fallen Angel who has faced down zombie armies and even killed a Demon King! How could I be nervous about motherhood!?
[Uh huh.]
'Whatever! We'll talk about this later! Matt's looking at me weird because I'm talking to you in my head!' I thought and ended the conversation with the System.
"Frigga and Hestia? OK then…" Matt said in confusion. He had no idea who Frigga or Hestia were obviously. "What's with the other three people?" He asked while pointing to Jessica, Danny and Luke still passed out on the ground nearby.
I told him that I know he wants to keep his secret identity so I woke him up separately from the rest of them.
He thanked me for that. "I think I'll be heading back home now." Matt said while standing up. "Thanks for not going too hard on me when I was mind controlled."
I waved him off. "Oh no, I did. You had a solid concussion and a broken hand. I had to heal you before I woke you up. You should be good as new! Good as new everywhere in fact!" I bragged while placing my hands on my hips. All of his aches and pains from fighting and training over the years should be healed as well.
My Purger of Darkness was awesome like that!
Matt chuckled. "Good as knew huh?" He flexed his hand. "I feel pretty good actually. I'll see you around, Layla." He said.
"Was that a blind joke?" I asked with a giggle.
Matt laughed as well. "I suppose it was." For the first time so far he opened his eyes. I'd never actually seen his eyes before since he always wore sunglasses over them. They didn't look clouded at all. In fact, they looked perfectly fine.
[Uh, oh…]
Matt paused for a second. He was looking directly at my face for some reason…
A look of shock overcame him! "I–I can see!"
"WHAT!?"
[Well, you certainly made him 'good as new' everywhere…]
I accidentally cured his blindness, didn't I…
"I can see!" He repeated in shock! Matt started to rapidly hyperventilate. His now working eyes became a flurry of movement as they rapidly moved everywhere, taking in every single sight around him. His panicked breathing picked up before his eyes finally settled back on my face. "...You're beautiful…" He mumbled before his eyes rolled backwards and he collapsed.
I ran forwards and caught him before his head smacked against the hard concrete under us. "Thanks for the compliment, but I'm not into guys." I sighed as I set him back down on the ground.
[He's unconscious again. Back to square one.]
I was not expecting that to happen. When I was healing his concussion, I had honestly completely forgotten about the possibility of my Sacred Gear being able to heal his blindness.
[He didn't seem to lose his other powers though. He was still able to recognize you with his eyes closed at first.]
That was a good thing at least. I'd hate for him to have to stab his new eyes out again just to have his powers back. That would have been a morbid sight…
With Matt once again passed out, I decided to just portal him back to his home.
Where was that again?
[Do you even know where he lives?]
'Why would I know where he lives?'
[Just send him back to his Law Office then. Foggy will take care of him.]
'Good idea, System.' I thought. I opened a portal to Nelson and Murdock and nonchalantly tossed Matt inside before closing the portal. No doubt, Foggy will be incredibly confused when he finds his friend passed out with his blindness cure.
That wasn't my problem though.
I looked back down at the three remaining people. Now I had to deal with the other three B-Team heroes…
Honestly, I did not want to…
Jessica was a raging alcoholic with tons of issues. Danny was some weird cultural appropriation fake monk. And Luke…actually he was pretty chill. I remember liking his show a lot in my past life. I would be fine talking with him–if the other two weren't here too.
[No one said you have to deal with them personally. You already did your part and saved them. You can always dump the clean up on someone else now!]
I smiled connivingly. The system was right! I could dump the problem on someone else. A certain one eyed man–who's blindness I could also cure now that I thought about it. I'd bring it up to him later in the future.
I opened a portal to SHIELD'S HQ! More specifically, Fury's office. One by one, I dumped the three people through my portal before closing it again.
I dusted off my hands. "That was a job well done if I do say so myself! Now then, what should I do with the rest of my free day?" I wondered out loud.
