Chapter 57: The Defenders

Three hours later, Saint stood at the stairs, shouting in the direction of the second floor: ”Lorna, get down to eat!”

”Wait a minute! I'm about to separate the two colors of Sand!”

Half an hour later, Lorna was still missing. Saint once again shouted from downstairs: ”Lorna, get down to work!”

”Don't interrupt me, bastard! It's mixed again!”

”…”

Suddenly Saint realized that the suggestion he had made to develop the future Miss Polaris just gave Lorna another reason to misbehave with him…

After neglecting her duties for around ten minutes, Lorna walked down from the second floor. At this time, there were already many customers in the store. Not giving Saint a chance to say word, she hurried to put the blame on him: ”I blame you, boss! If you didn't startle me twice, I wouldn't have been so late for work! It's all your fault, and I will not allow you to deduct anything from my wage!”

? ? ?

Saint's mind was filled with questions: 'What did I even say? Who am I? What am I? What just happened? Who's the boss???”

...

Another day at the restaurant came to an end, with SHIELD still not coming here to bother him. As usual, he used Ki Sense to scan the area. Instead of just the two agents following him, this time he found something that truly surprised him!

He was bothered about not having trouble, but now it seemed like he got more than he expected. Through Ki Sense, Saint detected four powerful Ki, moving at a speed that's beyond what ordinary people are capable of. He was familiar with one of them; Danny Rand. As for the remaining three, he was no stranger to their identity. While he couldn't see them or verify what he thought, he knew very well that these were the rest of Hell's Kitchen's Heroes.

Frowning, Saint quickly walked out the door, saying to Lorna who was arranging the table: ”Lorna, lock the door, and don't come out for the time being!”

”Boss, you…”

Saint did not turn back to answer Lorna. As soon as he went out the door, he saw four people walking in the dim light; a woman, and three men.

Leading the charge was the one with the blond short curly hair, Danny Rand.

He was followed by a masked white man, who surprisingly covered the upper half of his face with a scarf, instead of the lower half. His eyes were covered as well, and his face could only be seen nose down. This blind man who relied mainly on hearing to perceive his surroundings was none other than the Daredevil, Matthew Murdoch. No other man would go around Hell's Kitchen at night wearing such a ”mask”.

Following him was a woman, a white, tall and very thin one, with long black hair hanging on her shoulders. Obviously, her looks were deceiving, for this very thin and pale woman was stronger than most men: the least heroic among the Heroes, Jessica Jones.
