East Side and West Side

[daredevilawyer]

This was a pretty typical situation for Daredevil. He was perched on a high rooftop, listening for trouble. Usually it was a generalized trouble he was looking for but today, he had something specific in mind. A family had been taken by the Kingpin's men for not paying their "protection money". The police weren't going to do anything, so it was up to him to rescue them.

Of course, he wasn't aware that it was a much bigger situation he was going to be coming into, the warehouse being a storage facility for gun runners as well as keeping one scared kidnapped family till they agreed to pay up.

"I do." Matt gets the idea that she's not sure about that kind of a plan. But he wasn't about to abandon these kids to the chance that they might survive the mission they had planned.

"At least, give me a five minute headstart." He might even be willing to go in when she does, but not the whole team. He didn't want to tip them off, he wanted to get the kids out before the bad guys even knew he'd been there.

Five minutes will still leave her sneaking around a criminal facility that's just been robbed of hostages, so she shakes her head. "If you retrieve the kids, they're going to be looking for someone." And there the guard left - now was her window, and she tried to keep a clear head and work through this as fast as possible.

"I'll go in with you. We take the kids and leave - it'll make things harder when we take the warehouse down later, but it won't work otherwise."

He doesn't like it, but neither does she. So this is the best they can make of a potentially bad situation.

"Deal."

Daredevil pulls out his nightsticks, one in each hand, as he starts moving through the shadows towards the warehouse. Coming up on the building next to it and rappelling up to the roof. The nightstick on a line comes back down for her to grab onto as he's flattened himself on the roof to listen what's going on around the warehouse.

There’s nothing Hill can do but follow – not that she was heading that way anyway, but this was different, not taking the lead on a mission. This is familiar ground for him, and she can’t deny that it makes sense.

As she follows him, slipping behind buildings and sticking to the dark, her hand moves to her sidearm, resting on top of it firmly. Daredevil disappears to the top of the building and she’s had too many missions partnered up with the special ops agents to be worried.

The nightstick comes down and she grabs it, holding it tightly in her hands. She’s assumed he would make sure to take her with him… seemed like he had a disposition for teamwork. It was a good sign.

When she was on top of the building, she mimicked him, flattening herself beside him. Hill held up two fingers, indicating the time they had left to get in, and then pointed down to the door to indicate where the guard was, in case he was confused.

Matt wasn't used to working with others up here, but he could at least try to be accommodating. Besides, he liked this agent's style, she seemed to have a good head on her shoulders.

Unfortunately for him, he couldn't see the gesture or the two fingers and missed them completely. His head doesn't even turn that way. "Two guards, one coming around the other side. He just got back from smoking." Daredevil keeps his voice low.

His lack of acknowledgement wasn’t overly suspicious, but Hill did wonder why he hadn’t responded to her. Maybe he was too focused on watching the guards? Or maybe he wasn’t in the practice of confirming information. Whatever it was, he was right and there were two guards, one coming around the other side.

“What’s your plan?” she murmurs, her voice low and soft. By default it was now their plan, but she didn’t like to think about how little control that gave her over the situation.

His original plan was to get in without being seen. Using the rooftops instead of the doors. But now there were two of them, so it did complicate things both ways.

"Better if we can bypass them entirely. I can swing over there from here..." But he wasn't sure if she would be able to follow with the same move.

"How would you go in?" Better to have more than one plan in this situation.

Sorry for the delay!

“Should be thirty seconds until they head inside, then another minute until their replacements arrive. That was my window to get in.” But she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to get in position in thirty seconds, so that option was burnt.

“Swing with one of these?” she asks, indicating the nightstick in her hand that had gotten her up here. Acrobatics weren’t out of the realm of possibility, as long as she wasn’t supposed to do a handstand on the cement barrier 40 feet in the air.
