Windora: Running away from you

A week after Lux and Jake's second encounter in Atlanta, 

Montana,  Helena, near the St. Helena Cathedral.

Summer was still hot in the USA.  Lux decided to stroll into Montana wearing a long-sleeved short black dress with gold accents. Her hair was braided in one single Dutch braid, and at her feet were a pair of black stilettos.  She was dressed far too elegantly for the day, and her luxurious appearance earned her the curious gaze of the humans who walked past her. She didn't care much about the attention she got, as her mind was filled with chaos. The emergency meeting she was forced to attend five months ago derailed her research. It stopped her from looking further into the vampire Lord, Frederic Roustain, of the Roustain Family. She learned from her regular blood bag that Frederic had her followed, and it both bothered the redhead and intrigued her. Her father shut down any attempt at conversing about his growing paranoïa and kept claiming the same dogma about the Founding Vampires: That they were all dead and had been for millennia.  If she went on a trip, if she was so determined to explore the world and find the graves of the elder vampires, perhaps, she would be able to prove her hypothesis to be true. It wasn't a war with humans that was coming. It was the return of a Founding vampire that was to be feared. 

Still, Lux only had her theories with her. She needed to find actual proof of a Founding Vampire who was still alive. The implications of a Founding Vampire still alive these days were dire because ultimately, they would want to claim back power. However, vampire society had changed over the millennia, and rather than a handful of them holding power, they organized themselves in such a way that everyone could climb the ladder and become a leader through alliances and marriage. A Founding Vampire would disrupt this fragile society, and it would become a bloodbath.  She knew her father's life would be in danger, and she couldn't afford to lose him. It wasn't war with humans she was worried about. It was a war within the vampire society that could happen, and this one would be ruthless. A person was living in Helena who could help her with vampire history and help her narrow down her research. Meeting with him was the only reason that made her set foot in Montana. Another reason was that Lux needed a distraction from Jake. 

Jake... She practically ran away from him, from what he was making her feel. It wasn't a conscious decision, not even a conscious effort, but her body recognized the signs. It recognized the growing affection she had for him. It recognized the insatiable thirst she had for him. It recognized the growing urge to come back to him and be in his arms.  It recognized what her mind didn't, that she was growing attached to her special human and that she was feeling more and more reluctant to leave him.  She forced herself to leave the hotel room early in the morning because she knew that if she didn't go, she would want to stay. She had to leave, because if she didn't, she would not. She would never.  Jake...He distracted her. When she was with you, her issues took a backseat in her mind. He became her priority, not the Founding Vampire, not the vampires following her, and certainly not the vampire society and the endless waltz of suitors who want to force her sire to marry her. 

Jake... Well, she was willing to admit that he was a fantastic lover and she was addicted to him. Upon leaving Atlanta, she realized that she didn't want to try with someone else because she knew they would never be Jake. He was her special human. He was not afraid of her vampire nature, didn't recoil at the sight of her true form, and he desired her. Oh, he desired her, alright, and it was fucking communicative. Lux loved having sex with Jake. She couldn't stop thinking about him. She couldn't stop touching herself; heck, even in the train that took her to Montana, she locked herself in the restroom, allowed her mind to walk back memory lane, and fingered herself to completion. Jake truly was unique in the way he turned her into a cock-addict. Well, she was addicted to his cock, no one else's. She was addicted to him and found herself thinking about fucking him anywhere and anytime she had the opportunity. Yes, she wanted to see him again, and she knew that once her business in Montana was done, she would look for him again. She would text him and ask if she could find him again.  It was decided. 

But sex was something she could willingly admit to wanting with him. Her mind wasn't shy about being needy, and she would gladly admit to her addiction to his body and the way he was fucking her. However, it wasn't all she loved about Jake. It wasn't just his massive dick, his large and burly body, his strong muscles that could manhandle her, or the fact that he was such a good puppy to her. Always obedient, always eager to please her, and so damn good at doing so. No. It wasn't just sex. She was missing the man. She was missing his jokes. She was missing his arms wrapped around her frame. She was missing his kisses on her soft skin, the type of affection and adoration from Jake that put her soul at ease. That's what he did. He put her soul at ease, something in the way he was holding her, the way he was looking at her, or maybe the way he was calling her name..She couldn't really put her finger on it, but there was a connection that went beyond the physical aspect of their relationship, and she was missing it. She was craving it. She was craving him. 

She shook her head as she walked up the stairs to the cathedral. She chewed at her bottom lip and pinched her cheeks twice to focus on what was going to happen next. Before she could knock on the heavy wooden door, it opened, and an elegant man with white hair, red eyes, and a black suit with a blue coat around his shoulders welcomed her. He lifted a brow and took a good look at the vampire before he stepped aside and said in a cavernous voice. 

" You traveled all this way for answers, Miss Adora. I told you on the phone that people outside of the council looking into our history doesn't please the council, but you said you were ready. Shall we begin?"

DDBA chapter 4: An open window.

// Finally, after spending some time observing Hayley, Matt decides to visit her.  He doesn't know what to expect, but he feels compelled to visit her. Something has shifted between the two of them.// 

Matt followed Hayley from afar. After their encounter during the attack on his office, he couldn't take the woman out of his mind. He was surprised by her fighting style, and although she did not confirm it, he knew she had been trained by the H.A.N.D. Now he wanted to see if she was still used by the organisation or if she had gone rogue like he did.  Matt followed Hayley around, keeping a low profile with a hoodie, baseball cap, and black sunglasses rather than his red ones in case people recognised him. He let his beard grow enough to mask the shape of his chin, and he investigated. Her days seemed to have a routine. She would wake up, have breakfast, and head to work. She was friendly with others, more than he imagined her to be, given how silent and withdrawn she was at home. During his week spent observing her, she was training, meditating, and reading. From time to time, he could hear the echoes of a podcast she would listen to, but rarely did she put the TV on.  She did it every three days to listen to the news she couldn't catch on her podcast, but that was it. She listened to true crime podcasts as well as crochet ones, which made Matt smile a little. That didn't prevent her from leading a very lonely private life. Aside from her coworker Melania, who called from time to time to check in on her, and her close neighbours, she sometimes helped because they were elderly, and she had no friends.  During the day, He would hear her warmly welcome new clients or wave goodbye at old ones. 

Matt also observed her at night, this time dressed as Daredevil. He would watch her don her costume and pay a visit to abusive spouses. Contrary to Daredevil's beliefs, there were women among the people she went after, and while they weren't nearly half the number of abusive spouses, they still were part of it and were treated the same as the men. Another belief that was shattered for him was that Hayley didn't brutalise these people the minute she saw them. Instead, she confronted them about their abhorrent behaviours and first tried to make them repent. On every occasion, the result was the same. They refused, accused her, insulted her, and tried to hit her, but they always missed because they were no match for her.  She tried to reason them one last time when they became physically violent with her and only when it didn't work (as it always did), did she resort to beating the living crap out of them. He watched her inflict pain, but not to the point of risking taking the lives of her targets. Matt had to fight the urge to intervene; part of him understood her motivations and would have probably done the same (only to feel guilty afterwards), but another part of him wanted to stop her. Some laws had to be followed, and she couldn't appoint herself the judge, jury, and executioner of these violent people.

One night, as he was patrolling the sector, he noticed that her window was open. Remembering what she told him, Daredevil slipped into her apartment through the open window. He cleared his throat and announced his presence loudly before he heard a reply from her. She was in the living room, reading a book, and invited him to come over. As soon as he walked into the living room, he noticed the warmth and nice jasmine scent that had filled the air. She was sitting on the couch, wearing nothing but a silky bathrobe he could only guess using his abilities. The fact that she didn't even try to cover herself and didn't seem to be embarrassed by the way she was dressed somehow tickled Matt, who couldn't help but blush slightly.  She grinned at him and gently patted the sofa so he could sit on it next to her. He realised that it was quite a simple room, with just a couch, a small table in front of it, a TV fixed on the wall, and a library with all the books she was reading. It was simple and cozy, and he felt that she was making some efforts to make him feel comfortable. 

"I'm not going to hurt you, so you can put your batons on the table. You can also remove your cowl if you feel comfortable. Your secret is safe with me." She reassured him. He listened to the sound she made by shifting around on the sofa and putting her legs on the small table before her. She put the book on her chest and looked at her ceiling. "I was wondering when I would see you. Today is not the first with my window open, you know?" 

"Awww, really? I missed an early opportunity?" -He chuckled and quietly sat on the couch.- 

"It's alright. I am just glad that you made it here tonight." -She bit her thumb and moved her leg so she could lay her feet on the couch.- "Do you...Do you want to drink something?"

"I'm fine. How about we--" -He cut himself short and scratched his beard with his forefinger. She turned around to face him, both feet still on the couch- "I have been watching you for a week." -Why was he so straightforward? Matt bit his inner cheek and tilted his head to the side, as if he was looking away from her- "I wasn't trying to be creepy, I wanted to know you better."

"Oh, I know that you were watching me. I spotted you a while ago, but I let you do it. I figured that you wanted to know who I was, what I do. I am sure you found out that I was leading a very boring life."

"A boring life? Come on, Lee... I mean, Hayley."

"It's okay. You can call me Lee." -She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around her knees- "And yes, a boring life. I am just doing my job. I beat up abusive spouses, and I read books in my living room. I don't go out, I don't go on dates.. I am boring." She chuckled. He liked the sound of her voice.-

"Well.. I know boring, and you're not boring at all." He tilted his head to the other side, and it felt as if he was staring at her.- "I have to say, I thought that you genuinely just went in a started to throw punches." - That made her laugh, and she put her left hand on her plump lips- "I'm serious! Ah.. I'm serious! I thought you broke windows or kicked doors open, and you just started to punch without saying a word."

"Ahahah oh my god! Matt! Ahah, I could.. I could have done it, yeah. I might have done it when I started. I was less patient than I am today, and I thought- I thought that coming at them with a flying punch was the solution. I realized that it didn't work well, I mean, it was silly of me to attack them without giving them any context." -She paused and stroked her chin for a brief moment- "I guess it felt good..." -She admitted in a faint voice.-

"I can relate to this. I remember how it felt the first year of being Daredevil. I was ruthless. I didn't care about breaking bones and beating goons and criminals within an inch of their lives."

"You were angry." -Not a question. A declaration. He pinched his lips together and furrowed his brows- "I was angry too." -It soothed him somehow that she admitted to being angry too. It felt good to have someone who could relate to him and wasn't judging him for his violent start or encouraging him to become more violent either-

"You were angry?" -She hummed her reply- "What were you trying to beat up?" -He didn't expect her to answer truthfully. His senses told him that the young woman's heart was starting to beat harder and faster. She passed her tongue on her bottom lip and shrugged-

"Do you really want to know?"

"I do. I want to know, Lee." -She rolled her eyes and leaned her forehead against her knees. She tightened her grip on her knee and lifted her head again-

"Alright. Alright. I had hit rock bottom when Melanie talked me into getting a job at the shelter. I was.. I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, Matt. I had so much red on my ledger, and I thought that I would never be able to wash it clean. I thought... that maybe if I died it would be washed, but I just couldn't give up on living. I just couldn't do it...I wanted to live. So, when I was punching abusive spouses, for me, it felt like punching away all the evil I did." -She chewed at her bottom lip- "I was mad at myself, Matt. I still am."

"I'll ask you once, and I hope you will answer truthfully. When we fought each other, I could tell it had the H.A.N.D. signature all over it. Were you.."

"Yes! I was raised by the H.A.N.D." -She cut him short and pinched her lips together harder- "You figured that out alright. No. I'm no longer theirs. I ran away. Sort of." -She confessed in a light groan- "How do you know them? I assumed that you fought them before."

"I was raised by Stick. He taught me everything I needed to know about the H.A.N.D. And, yes, as Daredevil, I ran into them."

"Okay." 

She knew he did more than just "run into the H.A.N.D. She was there when they tried to take over Hell's Kitchen. They knew where she was, and a few were dispatched to kill her. When she realized that the H.A.N.D. was seemingly destroyed by Daredevil, she celebrated, believing that she was definitely freed from the H.A.N.D. It felt as if a heavy weight was lifted off her shoulders, and she wouldn't have to look over her shoulder for the rest of her life. It felt nice for the short moment it lasted. Soon enough, she realized that some members of the H.A.N.D. survived. They escaped and regrouped, and soon enough, the H.A.N.D. rose from the ashes. And the new leadership wasn't different from the old one. She wasn't safe anymore.

"I have to know something. How did you know it was me? You said my name, and it was as if the world crumbled around me. I didn't expect it. How did you know?"

"You... Ah!.. It's a blind man thing." -She curved a brow and ran her hand through her curly hair- " I mean, okay, you know that I am blind, right?" -She hummed her response- "Then you know that since I can't see, all my other senses are even better."

"Spit it out, Matt. Please!" -She chuckled- "What has betrayed me?"

"Your scent. You smell like fresh jasmine." -She blinked and chewed at her bottom lip- "Yes. I mean, I caught it the very first time we met. It was overwhelming, but in a good way! In a good way, Lee. I mean Hayley! I just... You smell like Jasmine, and it stuck with me!"

"I... I never thought I could... Ah.. Jasmine, you said?" -He could feel her heart beat faster against her ribcage and  the muscles of her face turn into a sheepish smile- 

"Yeah... It's... It's like your signature scent, something I know is only yours. It smells good! I mean, you smell good. Ah!" -He stroked his beard and slowly removed his cowl. He needed to feel more comfortable. She watched him in silence as his black curls appeared in front of her and he removed his gloves.

"You... like how I smell?" -She repeated, blushing uncontrollably and leaning into her couch. He nodded and whispered a little "yes" that made her sheepishly smile- "I.. I'm a bad host. Do you want to drink anything?"

"Yeah. A beer if you have some." -She stood up and went to the kitchen. It allowed Matt to remove his shoes. What was he doing? He acted as if he was going to stay for the night. He wanted to. He was drawn to Hayley, and he wanted to spend some more time with her. She requested he make himself comfortable, so removing his shoes and neatly placing them against the couch seemed like a good idea. "By the way, Heather and I  are done. I called her sometimes after my apartment was destroyed. We had a lengthy discussion about what happened, and she refused to even consider that I was targeted as Matt Murdock by the Task Force. She also doubled down in front of  Kirstin when she mentioned the attack on her office and her rescue by Daredevil." -He paused for a moment- "Either way, we're done." -He admitted, before shutting his eyes off and scratching his beard once again.- "I don't know why I'm telling you this. I guess I wanted us not to feel awkward."

"And why would we feel awkward?" -Hayley came back into the living room with two bottles of fresh Irish beer. She gave him one and then sat back on the couch.- "Do you feel that there's a  sexual tension between us?" -She jokingly asked while taking a sip of her beer-

"Well... I would be a liar if I said that I wasn't attracted to you. I didn't come here because I was expecting anything, okay? All I'm saying is that I'm glad to be here tonight and to share a beer with you."

She smiled at him and chugged down her beer. The truth was that she felt it too. An attraction to the super handsome lawyer Matt Murdock. It was subtle, but it was there. She thought he was handsome, enjoyed how straightforward he was, and even his sense of humour. She thought he smelled good and dressed sharply. She looked at him as he was drinking his beer and tried to reason with herself for a minute. What would be the harm in just sitting on his lap? What would be the harm in just cupping both of his cheeks? What would be the harm to just -- and before she knew it, Hayley had put her bottle of beer on the small table before them and closed the distance between Matt and her. She straddled him, forcing the lawyer to hold onto his beer tightly while he wrapped his other arm around her waist. She studied his face, well aware that she acted on an impulse and there was no turning back. She didn't want to turn back. She slowly ran her fingers over his face, as if she were seeing his face with the tip of her fingers. He groaned and leaned into the couch, his free hand slowly moving down her back and onto her ass. He squeezed it and elicited a moan from her. The sound made him groan, and he felt his length twitch in his pants. He wanted her, and from the moment she straddled his lap, there was no turning back. He felt no hesitation on her part, and that only fueled his eagerness for her.  Her breath brushed over his skin, and her lips slowly peppered kisses all over his forehead. 

"You'd better stay overnight, Matt. I make killer pancakes." -She whispered before she pressed her lips to his.- 

"I don't intend to leave. I'm all yours tonight, Lee."
