Chapter 13: Last Stretch
—Hell's Kitchen—
Matt stood on top of the rooftops and tried to hear any sort of name that associates with Kilgrave. Fisk promised him to give some time so that he could find him. Stark was definitely done tending to Jessica's injuries so he was on the hunt for the Defenders. Elektra came up from behind Matt.
"I don't need you right now." Matt muttered but still heard her heartbeat behind him, "Just stay downstairs."
"You won't find him. He's binding far away from here. He's out of here, Matt. What are you trying to do?"
"That bastard killed Detective Mahoney. He almost killed Jess. I am not letting that happen again."
"And yet on the paper, it was actually you who did it." Elektra sighed and waited for Matt to comment on her. He didn't say anything so she continued. "Kills Detective Mahoney. Stabs Hell's Kitchen's best P.I. Do you really want to be on the paper again?"
"Yes. If it says the Devil of Hell's Kitchen kills Zebediah Kilgrave, I can then sleep at night." Matt said but grunted when he heard no one calling out Kilgrave, "I'll find the bastard myself."
"Oh yeah? How do you plan on doing that?" Elektra asked, standing up.
"His name is Turk. It's time for me to pay him a visit again." Matt smiled and started walking. He could hear the footsteps of Elektra following him, "It's that time of year again."
Matt and Elektra jumped from roof to roof on their way to Turk. Elektra Just followed Matt's steps since he was the one who could sense the man. It was a cold night in the city, less people walking around but more police lurking in the streets. They stayed low when they passed Oscorp Tower since it was a viewpoint for Peter Parker at night.
Once they passed Oscorp, they moved to the docks near ROXXON where ships were being docked. They saw Turk with two other men doing a deal in the shadows. Matt and Elektra landed loud enough to make all three men look at their direction.
"Turk!" Matt shouted as he approached them, "Been a while."
"Do you know this dude?" Schultz asked. "Is this a setup?"
"Dude," Turk shuttered and hid behind the two men. "That's the Devil of Hell's Kitchen man. Protect me!"
"No problem." Schultz smiled and activated his power fist on. "You're about to feel a lot of Shocker."
"Surprise me." Matt said.
Schultz missed his first swing which was turned into a kick to the chin by Matt. He took advantage by delivering quick left hooks and uppercuts to his body. Elektra took down the other man from interfering the fight. Schultz blocked Matt's punch which almost broke his hand. Instead, Matt's wrist was slight damaged and he fell to the floor. He didn't have time to rest as Schultz barely missed his punch. Matt swiped Schultz off his feet and kicked him in the face to knock him out.
"Now he's done." Matt exhaled then looked at Turk, "It's your turn, asshole."
"I don't have anything that interests you at the moment so will you excuse me, my bones are not ready to break."
"I'm sure they're ready." Matt grunted and threw Turk on the hood of the car, "Where is Kilgrave!"
"You aren't going to kill me, are you?" Turk asked.
"If I have to." Matt smiled and looked at Elektra. "Give me the sai."
Elektra sighed and threw her weapon towards Matt. He caught it mid-air, in between the blades. He then stabbed it near Turk's ear.
"You better talk, or this knife will go a little bit too close than you want."
"Alright, alright. Kilgrave tried to make me buy some tickets for a plane ride to Italy. He said he wanted to relax and enjoy the sunset that is going to be big. And I mean real big."
Matt turned towards Elektra, "What big sunset is he talking about?"
"Big sunset? He's going for nuclear war." Elektra gasped and started running towards the car which was owned by Schultz. "He's probably on his way right now to get the codes."
"See you later, Turk." Matt said, slamming his head on the car and knocking him unconscious.
—Holding Cell—
Danny and Robbie were placed in regular holding cells while Erik and Raven were kept in Ryker's for interrogation. They knew there was nothing else they could do but just wait for someone to come rescue them, no matter how long it takes. Guards would pass by them, knowing they are capable of destroying the whole prison with a flaming chain or a simple fist.
But they weren't expecting Misty Knight to show up in their jail cells. She had her hands in her pockets and looking at them with sadness.
"It's sad to see you boys not fighting out there with Matt. He's back. It's all over the news. Devil of Hell's Kitchen does something right for once." Misty chuckled, "And I said that it was fake news."
"You can keep us in here all you want, but we are willing to fight with Matt. We can break out of here easily." Danny said.
"But you choose not. Why?" Misty leaned inside the cell, "Is there something that I don't know?"
"You know everything. We don't want to hurt anymore people."
"How about Kilgrave?" Luke asked, coming out from behind Misty. "I think it's time for you boys to get off your asses and save the world."
"And what is in it for us?" Robbie asked, standing up and curious.
"Kilgrave is planning to wage nuclear warfare all across the globe. He's getting the codes to the nukes right now. I know I'm not supposed to be here and neither are you so we are going to Kilgrave."
"I have a car parked but it's with the police. They didn't exactly like the concept of a flaming car." Robbie said.
"Just prepare. I have your outfits in my car. Guards will be unlocking your cells in a few minutes." Misty gave Luke her car keys. Before she left, she called Luke. "Good luck."
