Who: Matt Murdock and Spider-man NPC: (Unfortunate) muggers When: May 5 2012, evening (backdated) Where: Somewhere between Gotham Mercy Hospital and the nearest hotel What: Spider-man saves a blind man! Rating: PG?
Anyone who has stepped foot in Gotham knew that walking alone was suicidal. Keep to the main roads, and you stood a chance of surviving your walk, someone had once told Matt when he had just arrived years ago and that was what he was doing.
To anyone watching, he was just a blind man walking home. Matt could have taken a cab but he preferred to walk. Walking let him think and it was good exercise -- not that he needed it. It was only two blocks from the hospital to the hotel that he was staying in and if anything happened, he could take care of himself. To make matters worse, Mr. Matt Murdock was wearing one of his suits. He had not changed when he had hopped on the plane to Gotham and he felt like a walking target on the streets of Gotham.
He could feel the heartbeat of the trio of men in the alley he had just passed by spike as they saw him. He could hear them moving out of the alley.
And then he felt the temperature drop and it started to rain.
