Matt really hadn’t wanted to get out of bed. It had been nice to lay with Elektra and ignore the city as it passed them by while they alternated between resting and entertaining themselves.

Elektra mentioned sneaking out to her penthouse to get fresh clothes and a few other things. Matt had nodded sleepily and waited for her to leave before he’d drifted off to sleep.

It wasn’t long before the familiar sounds of the city pulled Matt out of his slumber. He’d been missing since before the Snap, so he didn’t think that anyone would be looking for him, presuming there had been anyone else to look for him. He had no one to contact and yet he was restless. 

Matt knew that traffic was going to be even worse than usual because of everything that had happened. That meant that he had a lot of time before Elektra returned. He grabbed his suit and decided that Daredevil should take one last loop around the city.

It felt odd to be here and be Daredevil again, but he fell back in to his pattern easily enough. It wasn’t long before he heard a rather loud dispute in a warehouse and that only ever meant one thing. As he drew closer, he could hear angry words and fingers tapping triggers.

It made sense that everyone would be restless now, especially the criminals. They’d had months to grow and expand operations, only to have that threatened by in influx of people returning to both sides. He swung closer to the warehouse and landed on the roof. He slipped into a skylight and silently landed on the upper catwalk behind one of the gang members. It was easy to put him in a choke hold and leave him off to the side. He slipped along the upper level, wanting to take down as many people as he could before the shooting, and the dying, started.

Kurt was glad to be back home, at the school. When Sif had brought him back, he could see right away that the sad, dwindled campus that he’d left was now full of happiness and celebration. He immediately set out to greet those who had returned and enjoy the impromptu festivities. 

It wasn’t lost to Kurt that there was one face he wasn’t seeing that he knew should be here. After a couple hours of greeting people and enjoying the party, he bundled up and made his way out into the snow. 

Kurt remembered when he’d first arrived in the Soul Stone. He’d remembered how it had been freezing and heavy snow had covered everything. He remember who was first to greet him. He pushed away that memory. She would not come here, not with the professor to protect them. She wouldn’t come for him at all. She’d have to remember him first.

Kurt forced himself to refocus and try to find the one he was searching for out in the snow. He’d only seen her briefly during the fight with Thanos. He hadn’t had time to speak with her in the couple of days between that and their departure. He wanted to make time now.

“Laura?” Kurt called. He trudged through the snow, turning as he went. He could see in the dark, so he actually had a chance of spotting her during the evening hours. “Laura, it’s Kurt. I just wanted to make sure that you are alright.”
