[Hey everyone and welcome back to 'The Man Without Fear' I know, it's been about 20 or so days since writing this part since I last updated. But I'll let you all know that me writing this, I placed a lot of effort into it so I could make the wait well worth it. So without further a due, I give you the first part...Of Infinity War.]

________________________________________________________________________________

"Hey! I know you're still out there! I can here you talking...Let me out already!"

The voice of a male in his mid to late thirties yelled from within a locked closet. His hands and legs chained behind his back, unable to move as he called out to the person who caused him to be in such a position. A dark silhouette looms underneath the small gap that was granted between the door and the floor, though the shadow only remained there momentarily before disappearing. That dark silhouette was me. There I was, standing in the center of a small apartment, the windows open, allowing the fresh midnight breeze to enter the room, god knows I need it.

"Come on, man! Please!...I'm sorry, I promise I won't do it again."

Why did I not believe him when he said that? But then again, I guess a man desperate enough to get out of his own closet would say anything to be free. Okay! So I locked him in his closet for five minutes. All I needed was a moment to myself, and trust me, if you saw what I saw...You'd need it too. But no matter how long I needed to myself, my weak conscious inside of my body didn't hold for long until I reluctantly nudged open the door slightly. Upon doing so my senses were greeted with the beating heart rate of a scared man, but what did he have to be scared of?

(Y/n): "I said I'd be right back, Stanley. And look, here I am."

Stanley: "Okay. Right, please, just listen to me. Here a guy out."

Even as he said those words my world was not focused on them, my eyes shifted towards the fridge, and though I couldn't see, I didn't have to, to feel the anger beginning to boil beneath my skin. So as Stanley Sean continued to babble on with whatever words found their way out of his mouth first, I merely chose to interrupt his sentence by swing the door open, allowing the overweight man to fall from his closet and drop onto the kitchen floor of his one room apartment.

Stanley: "Look, I know I've done some really messed up shit, and I'll show you them all. Every single thing I've kept of them..."

Rows upon rows of torn off body pieces, limbs and guts, all lined perfectly in Stanley's open fridge, the smell along making me glad that I was blind, a thought that only came around everyone once in awhile. You see, in recent weeks Hell's kitchen had been dealing with a butcher, and of course I took it upon my stupid old self to run this person out of business, and such as caused me to be standing in the middle of an apartment building used part-time as a butchers den of human remains. But as my thoughts shifted to two particular people close to my life, I couldn't help but welcome the violent urge that was brought upon when cracking my knuckles.

Stanley: "But I just want the chance to explain, okay? To truly explain why I needed them."

(Y/n): "I promise you, Stanley, whatever you are about to say...It's only going to make this go worse for you."

The immediate rush of Stanley's heart, the jolt of fear which I had perfected in placing into the spirits of each and every criminal that came by my path. I knew what had to be done, and I was willing to do it.

Stanley: "P-Please...Just talk to me! Use your words--"

(Y/n): "Did you use your words when you butchered a family, Stanley?!"

The venom easily fell from my lips as I pushed my teeth together, and though I couldn't see, I sent Stanley a look he would never forget.

Stanley: "P-Please, I swear...I-I didn't have a choice. Besides..."

He prolonged his sentence, as if asking himself about what he was about to say would help him, or kick him straight up the ass, and by the time he had finally spoken his words, well...Let's just say the scales were set abundantly to one side.

Stanley: "...What does this have to do with you?"

Suddenly without a second thought, preforming the move much faster then ever before I jerked Stanley around by his neck before holding him up into the air by his throat, as if resembling the times in the bible where the Lord's people would sacrifice goats and sheep to God, begging him to forgive them of his sins. And right now, Stanley was my sacrifice, that the lord would forgive me for what I was about to do.

(Y/n): "What does this have to do with me?...IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ME!"

I had never screamed like that at a criminal, no, a monster before. But as the thoughts of Wanda and Natasha crawled into my mind, I felt like a heavy weight was placed onto my back, telling me to keep going as I began picturing what harm a person like Stanley could bring them. And so my fist continued to repeatedly crush Stanley's face an abundance amount of times over until blood ran from his mouth and half of his face was swollen. I was only slowed down from continuing the process by lack of energy, but even with my lack of strength, I still found it deep inside of me to lift my clutched fist a final time before sending it flying across the cheek of Stanley Sean. I listened as the blood clogging up his throat exited his mouth and sprayed the kitchen floor below him, but even then I did not pity him as I relented my attacks.

(Y/n): "Do you know why I left you in that closet, Stanley? Do you know why I was so desperate to get you away from my presence?"

My blurry gaze aligned with Stanley's bruised face, watching as he cautiously shook his head 'no' in fear of me striking him once more. But I didn't...I still had a message to get across to him.

(Y/n): "I was praying..."

My fists clenched once more, signalling to Stanley that his punishment was not yet over, while also signalling something to me.

(Y/n): "...Praying that once I started beating you..."

It signaled to that pit deep down inside of me, that one part of my body which I hope to never unearth, that part of my body that is so lifeless and without hope that it truly believes the only way to live is not to fear the darkness...But to become it.

(Y/n): "...I'd be able to stop."

And so, just as the moon stood tall over New York City, I too stood tall over the body of Stanley Sean, a murderer, a butcher, a pure monster, and not once did I feel an ounce of regret for what I had just done. I had not once told nether Wanda or Natasha about that night, I felt like I didn't have too. They knew how dark this city could be, and they knew I had to fight it, I just felt like they didn't have to know the lapse in judgement that took place that night. But even with the relief that I felt from releasing my anger and rage I held out towards the people that gave Hell's Kitchen a bad name, I still remained vigilant against the dark force that was locked away inside of me... Yet, as I lay on the floor of the destroyed and lifeless Asgardian ship, which was previously on it's way to Earth, I kinda hoped that if by any means of seeing Wanda and Natasha again, even if it meant revealing my deepest secret...I would.

Inside the ship previously coming from Asgard, a pale colored creature with no nose and slicked back white hair walks among the bodies of dead Asgardians. Heimdall, badly wounded, reaches out as if he would stop Maw as he passes, but lacks the strength. Maw proceeds to step over the remaining dead and injured Asgardians beneath his feet with no mind as he speaks, as if they were scattered pieces of dirty clothing on a bedroom floor.

Ebony Maw: "Hear me, and rejoice. You have had the privilege of being saved by the Great Titan...You may think this is suffering...no. It is salvation. Universal scales tip toward balance because of your sacrifice."

Ebony Maw finally comes to a stop beside the other members of the Dark Order, but his happy expression is only focused onto the towering silhouette that stands underneath the bright light from the ship which took out the Asgardians own.

Ebony Maw: "Smile...for even in death, you have become Children of Thanos.

It soon shown that Loki stands with the Black Order. He watches Thanos, shrouded in darkness and light, looking out the large window to his side that reveals the endless void of space.

Thanos: "I know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right...yet to fail, nonetheless."

He proceeds to lift Thor by the neck of his breastplate, the latter struggling to maintain strength as Thanos grins down on the weak body of the god of thunder.

Thanos: [Looks down at Thor] "But I ask you, to what end? You can dread it...Run from it...Yet destiny arrives all the same. And now, it's here. Or should I say...I am.

The Mad Titan proceeds to direct his gaze onto Loki as he raises his fist covered by a golden glove, the Infinity Gauntlet, with a glowing purple stone attached to it. Meanwhile Thor, now being held by Thanos with one huge hand wrapping around his head; blood slowly drools from his mouth. But even with the clear sign of injury, that doesn't stop Thor from making the situation worse.

Thor: "You know...You talk too much."

Thanos: [Ignores Thor, looks to Loki] "The Tesseract, or your brother's head..."

The Black Order lift their weapons and smirk respectively as Loki's face remains emotionless.

Thanos: "I assume you have a preference?"

Loki: "Oh, I do...Kill away!"

Thanos' face expresses surprise briefly, his gaze then shifts to Thor before pressing the gauntlet to the god of thunder's left temple. The Power Stone glows brightly as Thor begins to scream hoarsely. It's only a few seconds later before Loki starts to lose his cool demeanor as Thor continues to suffer. He instantly breaks after only a few moments pass by.

Loki: "ALL RIGHT, STOP!"

Thor: [As Thanos relents] "We don't have the Tesseract. It was destroyed on Asgard."

Loki glances at Thor like he knows something he doesn't. This soon causes Thor to raise an eyebrow weakly before slowly lifting his right hand into the air. A few seconds pass before suddenly the Tesseract reveals itself in it's shining blue glory.

Thor: "You...really are the worst brother."

Loki: "I assure you, brother...the sun will shine on us again."

Thanos: "Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian."

Loki: "Well, for one thing, I'm not Asgardian."

Slowly Loki begins to approach Thanos with the Tesseract raised. But as the god of mischief continues speaking, he suddenly comes to a stop a smirk crosses his lips.

Loki: "And for another...we have a Hulk."

Immediately Hulk comes crashing out of nowhere and instantly tackles Thanos across the room while Loki dives for Thor. Meanwhile with the Black order, they are soon distracted when (Y/n) drops down from the roof of the ship. Without a second though he proceeds to boot Ebony Maw back with a kick to the face before kicking Proxima Midnight's spear out from underneath her feet. As she drops to her knee's (Y/n) turns his attention to the tallest member of the Black Order, Cull Obsidian. The giant monster proceeds to bend down and roars into (Y/n)'s face, the man without fear momentarily stopping his momentum as he takes in the full size of his next opponent.

(Y/n): "Of course, there's always a bigger fish."

He's only able to dwell on his words for a moment before being suddenly picked up by the unhealthy giant and forced into another uphill fight. Somehow freeing himself from Obsidian's grip (Y/n) skillfully maneuvers his way over the giants shoulder, all the while freeing his only remaining billy club from his side and using it as leverage to fall backwards towards the ground, taking Cull Obsidian with him. Before the giants body hits the ground, however, (Y/n) jumps off only to instantly be tangled up by wires ripping from the ground which is soon revealed to be caused by none other then Ebony Maw.

Ebony Maw: "That's strange. I don't recall any Asgardian ever wearing clothing such as yours."

(Y/n): "Even though I can't see, I'm going to go on a limb here and say you're a bad guy."

(Y/n) says with a smile, reflecting perhaps his blindness has caused him to not truly understand the, and I quote, pile of shit, he was currently in.

Ebony Maw: "Your question has no right answer. You see, to people such as yourself you see us as mere villains desperate to have what we want, but to us, and this is truth, we are merely doing what must be done."

(Y/n): "Uh, huh. Is that so? You know, where I come from I've dealt with a person who believes what he is doing is for the greater good. You know where he ended up?"

Ebony Maw: "No, I cannot say I do."

(Y/n): "Well, let me tell you. He ended up in prison, and I put him there. And do you know where your going to end up?"

Ebony Maw proceeded to let out a chuckle as he walked around (Y/n)'s entangled body. Meanwhile behind him the members that were knocked down by (Y/n), Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian returned to their feet and glared towards the man without fear.

Ebony Maw: [As he comes to a stop in front of you] "Let me guess...Jail?"

(Y/n): [Grins] "No. Instead, you will be on the ground shaking uncontrollably whilst you groan in pain."

Ebony Maw: [Scoffs] "Oh, and how are you going to do that exactly?"

(Y/n): "Like this."

That was all that was said before suddenly Ebony Maw felt something touch his gut. Adverting his gaze, the member of the Black Order was only given a few seconds to take in the sight of (Y/n)'s billy club touching him in the stomach before suddenly a burst of electricity shot throughout the aliens body rendering him useless as he proceed to shake violently before dropping to the ground and continuing to spasm. Once done this allowed the wires around (Y/n)'s body to become loose and fall to the ground, freeing the man without fear from his containment. Now free, (Y/n) lowers his gaze down at his smoking Billy Club before discarding it to the side, no longer able to meet it's purposes. But almost instantly (Y/n)'s attention is drawn elsewhere as the Hulk's roars flood the spaceship.

(Y/n) merely watches as Thanos pries the Hulk's hands away from him with ease; an expression of surprise and fear crosses his green face. Before he has the chance to throw more punches at Thanos, The Mad Titan hits him in the neck, and quickly turns the tide of the battle on his favor. By this point (Y/n)'s eyes had widen in shock at seeing the Hulk losing to Thanos, but before (Y/n) can even think about stepping in to assist his friend he's suddenly struck from behind in the back of the head. The blow dealing enough that it was able to mark a very visible dint in his Daredevil helmet. (Y/n) proceeds to drop to the ground, groaning in pain as he turns around to see Corvus Glaive, Proxima Midnight and Cull Obsidian looking down at him.

Corvus Glaive: "Remind me, what are you the god of again?"

Glaive chuckles as (Y/n) goes to get back up, but he is instantly shoved back to the ground by the blunt end of Proxima Midnight's staff. To make matters worse, and ruin any chance of (Y/n) continuing to fight, Cull Obsidian proceeds to not so gently place his foot onto the stomach of The Man without Fear. The beast smiles down at Daredevil as all hope seems lost. Silence soon dawns over the ship as the heroes seemed to have lost.

Hulk remained unconscious on the ground, while (Y/n) continued to struggle against Cull Obsidian's foot pushing down against his gut. Then there was Thor who could do nothing but watch as his friends suffer as his plan to take out Thanos failed. But Thor was not the only one watching the scene, no, there was also Heimdall who knew what had to be done if the world and the entire Universe were to be saved from Thanos' chaotic destruction.

So, with all his strength Heimdall grasped the handle of Hofund and lifted it into the air. Slowly his gaze then shifted to (Y/n), a weak and painful look crossing his face as he reached out the sword towards the fallen man without fear and begins to pray.

Heimdall: "Allfathers...Let the dark magic flow through me...One last time."

Instantly the Bifrost comes crashing down through the roof of the ship directly above (Y/n). The force of impact causing Cull Obsidian and the other members of the Black Order to be thrown backwards. Slowly (Y/n)'s body hovers off the ground as Thanos directs his attention towards the bright beam of light. This, however, attracts the Mad Titan's attention who immediately discards the defeated Hulk to the side as he watches (Y/n)'s body lift higher off the ground.

Immediately Thanos charged for (Y/n), shoving and throwing everything out of his way as he attempted at taking out the Man Without Fear before he could get away. But just as Thanos was in arms reach of Daredevil, he was already to late, the Bifrost had cleanly scooped up (Y/n)'s body and took him to the one place that needed the warning of Thanos' arrival most...Earth. But even with (Y/n) having escaped, Thanos did not relent in his anger, instead he slowly turned his gaze to Heimdall who struggled to even sit up. A serious look crossed Thanos face as he glances to his side and picked up the blade of Corvus Glaive.

Thanos: "You're going to regret that."

That moment the silent void of space was broken by a scream. The horrors and fears of the galaxy were about to become known as Thanos proceeded to capture the Tesseract and add the Infinity stone inside to the Infinity Gauntlet. Along the way the lives of Loki and Heimdall were taken, but not all hope was lost, for with their deaths came the glimpse of victory as (Y/n)'s unconsciously traveled through the voids of space before finally arriving at Earth, where a old friend unknowingly is about to see him once more.

The gentle music plays through a radio as the sun shines brightly over a set of Apartment buildings. Inside one of these very apartments, a silent Wanda Maximoff could be seen making herself a cup of coffee. A gentle smile rests upon her face, though that smile quickly drops when her gaze is shifted towards a small photo frame on the corner of the counter.

Immediately Wanda scoops up her glass and turns around before marching her way over to the couch. Behind her remains the photo showcasing a a smiling (Y/n) wearing his red tinted glasses as Wanda and Natasha cling to his arms, they too smiled brightly as a fair ground covers the background. Once reaching the couch Wanda places her cup onto the small coffee table before flicking the TV on, a news report immediately fills the background.

"And in other news, today marks the one month anniversary for Hell's Kitchen since the Vigilante known as Daredevil has disappeared. In his absence The Punisher has noticeably picked up his game, while also a man with a glowing fist has been reported multiple times saving people from being robbed. The only question remaining is whether these people are enough to stand up to crime, and where exactly is Daredevil?"

Wanda: "Huh, wish I knew the answer to that one too."
