Daredevil. A Man Without Fear. Hero. Fighter. A man who has been through the darkness, pain, death, and worse. A man of faith, but who is he underneath the mask? What goes on in his brain as he fights off the darkness that tries to consume his soul...
"Forgive me, father, for I have sinned. It has been far too long since my last confession."
*The dead of night. The stench of the cold rain pours over the city of New York, focusing on a small apartment building. It's derelict and falling apart at the hinges. The windows boarded up, the shingles on the roof are slowly falling onto the sidewalk. The door, however, was broken off of its hinges from outside.*
"Tell me, my son. What plagues you tonight?"
*Inside of the building, the hall is decorated with battered, bloody, and critically injured men. Criminals mostly, their blood even decorating the blue wallpaper. From the floor above we can hear screaming and the sounds of a brutal confrontation.*
"I fear I lost myself again."
"Explain my child?"
*Going up the stairs, we see more signs of a brutal battle. A man's head shoved into the wall, one individual lying unconscious with a broken jaw, and the worst of them all was an individual who was sent flying through the wooden railing and onto the floor under them. The sounds of combat growing louder with every second.*
"Sister Maggie always said that my father and I had something in us. She said, "Careful of them Murdocks. They got the devil in 'em." As a kid, I didn't believe it all that much. Thought it was just spiritual fiction. But then, I saw my dads first major fight. He began to stagger and lost his balance after taking a strong right hook to his face, I was scared that he was gonna lose the fight. But then something changed in him. His eyes went dull, he stood tall and just simply looked at the guy. It was then I saw it."
*A man is then dropped from the second floor, his injuries dire as he's missing several teeth and looked like he was on the receiving end of a Heavyweight MMA fighter. It's there that we see him.*
"I saw the Devil."

*Daredevil growls in anger as he holds up his fists and charges forward to the remaining criminals that he faces. The battle between the Devil and the criminals is brutal. Bones broken, blood splattered, and a man's arm is horribly damaged. Daredevil rushes the remaining three and incapacitates one as he opens fire on the crimson vigilante. The bullet scratches Daredevil's shoulder causing him to hiss in pain before lunging at the criminal and taking him down via Clothesline to the throat. Once he lands, the man falls unconscious as he places him in a chokehold. Daredevil soon stands and faces the last two panting as then smiles with blood coming from his mouth. He then speaks.*
