Note
Hi, so this is my first fic (that I’ve posted). Fic title and chapter names from the song Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones.Here is a description of how soulmates and soul marks work: Soul marks are an indication that you have a soul mate. They never used to be a dangerous thing, but then people noticed that people with soulmates put their soulmate before literally everything else. They’re dangerous because how much they care about the person. In the past, people have killed others because of their soul mark. In older Monarchs, they outlawed it saying that they weren’t welcome into the country. Some simply just killed those with soul marks so they don’t have to deal with it. Then time went on and and people started to get used to it and saw those with marks as bad. Soon people with soul marks had almost no where to go and got tired of it. There was a fight and people then feared those with soul marks even more. Then governments got more and more aggressive with soul marks. The people feared soul mates even more. Having a soul mark is also seen as weak because you almost literally have your heart on your body. It was also a tactic used to help ban those with soulmates. To make them seem like less of a threat. To make people less afraid. To make soul mates less human. Around the ‘90’s people kinda calmed down but due to the status quo and the past, it’s still an issue. The past had more prejudice than the present. But some politicians agreed that soul marks are evil or some politicians didn’t want to change the law because backlash or trouble removing it because of how ingrained it was into the law. There used to be manditory tests for soulmates but because a soul mark can appear at any time during a persons life and it wasted a lot of money, the government stopped doing them.Many religions are against soul marks. Christianity in particular dislikes soulmates because it wasn’t in the Bible, and there was the idea that it wasn’t God that gave people soul marks so however they got them mustn’t be good. They were playing with fate, and fate wasn’t theirs to play with.

Hope You Guess My Name

“Devil.”

To be honest that scared the crap out of Matt. So much so that he almost fell off the building. Determined not to make a fool of himself, he straightened up, regained his senses, and glared in the direction of the man who creeped up on him.

______

Foggy was surprised that he could scare the man.
He figured that the man would have no fear. While Foggy was glad that he didn’t fall, the stumble was almost a reminder. A reminder that the Daredevil was human. It helped Foggy a bit with his bravery. A bit. There was always a conversation going around that the Daredevil wasn’t human at all. That he was the actual Devil. Foggy was curious as to why the Devil didn’t try to attack him for sneaking up on him. The man regained his balance and just stared at Foggy. But Foggy wasn’t budging. It’s the Devils turn.
______

It was the guy from the bakery. The man Karen insists that Matt has a crush on but Matt definitely does not. Definitely. What the heck does this guy want with the Daredevil? He seemed way to nice and pure. The man seemed to be nervous and excited(?). He shouldn't be out here. He could get hurt. The man had a pocket knife on him. Well that’s better than nothing.

Matt realized that the man was just staring at him, waiting for an answer. He lowered his voice a little, sounding like a knockoff Batman. Oh well.

“What?”

The man spoke again. His voice shaky but Matt found that he still loved his voice.

He needed to get a grip.

“It’s what people call you right?”

“Yeah?” Matt was unsure. Where was this going? “What do you want?”
______

The man’s voice was obviously lowered as to conceal his identity. He managed to confused the Daredevil and his voice became less masked, when laced with confusion.

Foggy thought about the best way to approach this. Soulmates were tricky. If he told Daredevil that he had a soulmate, he may start beating him up. Many people still though that soulmates were bad. Daredevil may be one of those people.

“I just want to chat.”

“Well that knife seems to give me other ideas,” The Devil countered.

How the hell did he know that he had a knife?

Not important right now.

“It’s for protection, just in case.”

The Devil nodded. Foggy thought it was okay for him to ask him questions.

“What do you think of soulmates.”
______

Matt almost fell off the building again. He really needed to step off the ledge of the roof.

Anger swept through him. How did he know? What did he want?

Matt stepped away from the edge. Starting to walk towards the man. He didn’t want to hurt him. He really didn’t. But he would he would however like to hurt whoever made him come to Matt.

“Who sent you?” Matt was pissed. “Was it Stick? Was it Fisk? Who sent you”
______

The Devil almost fell off again. He really needs to be careful.

Foggy wasn’t expecting that reaction. Equal to being scared.

Was the Daredevil afraid?

The man was pissed and getting closer to him.

“Who sent you? Was it Stick? Was it Fisk? Who sent you”

Foggy backed away, terrified. Bringing out his knife he thought about how this wasn’t what he wanted.

Well maybe it was.

The man in the mask got really defensive really quickly. That meant it was a sore subject. That might mean that he has a soul mark.

“N-no no one sent me,” Foggy tried to keep his voice strong and clear. “I-I don’t know who stick is an-and Wilson Fisk is in jail. I just wanted to ask.”
______

True.

He was telling the truth. Matt could tell. He released the tension on his shoulders. The walked back to his ledge. It was the best place to hear things. He has to be on alert for any sirens or trouble.

The man had a soul mark. Matt remembered that now. He probably just wanted someone to listen to him or something. Maybe he saw the Daredevil as a good option for some reason. Anonymity? Maybe.

“What do you want?”
______

The Daredevil just believed him. Just like that. That was odd. Foggy was going to get stuck on the details.

The Daredevil has extreme reactions to fear. Foggy will just use that to his advantage.

“What do you want?” The man growled.

Foggy decided to let the man know who he was. It the Daredevil was his soul mate then he would have a mark with either his first name, last name, or nickname most likely.

“My name is Franklin Nelson.”
______

Why the hell is he telling Daredevil this? Was he asking for a protection service or something? Matt would probably do it for him though.

The man (Franklin) was just confusing him. In reality he should just leave this roof and find another. But Matt had a soft spot for the man. Franklin was just looking at Matt as if expecting something. The man was smart. He was trying to find something in his body language.

“My parents called me Frank,” the man continued.
______

Foggy has managed to confuse the man in the mask. He has scared the man that many feared. The Daredevil was confusing at what the hell he was doing. That was obvious. There was no reaction yet. But there was still a nickname left. One only those close to him knew.

“My friends call me Foggy.”
______

Okay, this time Matt actually fell off the building.
______

The man fell off the building.

Or should he call him the Devil.

He really should’ve stayed away from the edge.

That was definitely a reaction to Foggy.

Foggy looked off the edge where the Devil had fallen. He couldn’t see him. That meant he was okay? Right?

The Daredevil probably has a soul mark or else he wouldn’t get so defensive when Foggy asked. And it probably says Foggy, or else he wouldn’t have literally fell off the building when he heard his nickname.

God the Daredevil was his soulmate.

Oh my god.

Brett won’t believe it. Foggy barely believes it. He found him. And he lost him. But they will meet again. Foggy knows it. However Foggy isn’t about to go searching for him.

Foggy will let the Devil find him.
