A transport truck makes
the trek to a specific prison, secretly containing Micah Synn’s men. When they
arrive, they start a bloody battle before grabbing Crossbow and driving off
with him, taking him to see their leader! The next morning, Matt Murdock stops
by Glorianna O’Breen’s apartment, where she gifts him a new scarf. Pretending
he’s not embarrassed, he heads to his office where Becky tells him that Foggy
and Debbie are waiting for him with news about Micah Synn. Foggy reads Matt the
paper, in which Micah is quoted as saying that civilized society has no place
for men such as Daredevil, swaying the public to his side even more. Not long
after, Micah himself arrives to discuss the matter of his inheritance from the
Synn estate, which is being held up by red tape when Daredevil forced
Barrington Synn to flee the country. Debbie suggests Micah get a restraining
order on Daredevil while Micah steals Matt’s scarf and Matt has to pretend he
can’t tell. Both things leave him seething.
Later, at his new
penthouse, Micah has new clothes fitted and is informed that the restraining
order on Daredevil has been acquired. Elsewhere in the penthouse, a tied-up
Crossbow manages to wriggle free of his bonds just as Micah comes to check on
him. Crossbow says he’s not afraid to die but Micah implies he has other uses
for him. On the lower west side, a transport truck is stopped by some of
Micah’s men. They open it to discover the owner inside, none other than the
Kingpin, hoping to see who has been stealing his goods. Kingpin utterly takes
the men apart and confirms that Micah Synn has now made himself Fisk’s
enemy! That evening, Daredevil storms
into Micah’s penthouse to confront him, questioning why he got the restraining
order only to have it paused for 24 hours! Micah simply responds that he needed
bait to spring his trap, which is when Crossbow springs out and manages to
shoot Daredevil in the arm!
Daredevil fights through
the pain and fights back as best he can before ducking away to try and bandage
his wounded arm. Though Crossbow hates working with Micah, he continues to
fight Daredevil until DD gets his foot caught in a trap that dangles him high
over the city! Crossbow aims to shoot the rope and let Daredevil fall to his
death, giving Daredevil the opportunity to swing so as to let his momentum
carry him back to the balcony. Daredevil and Crossbow face each other down when
suddenly the police arrive, having been called by Micah’s secretary. They
inform Daredevil that the restraining order went into effect ten minutes ago,
forcing Daredevil to leave. Micah revels in his small victory, knowing
Daredevil will hold to the law, while sniffing the torn piece of Daredevil’s
costume tips him off that Daredevil and Matt Murdock are one and the same! To
be continued!
