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.

A Time For A Change

Foggy was a bit sad that his soulmate left so soon. But he understood. New York needed him tonight. That was all.

Foggy drifted into an uneasy sleep. He woke up the next morning with more thoughts in his head than he had last night.

Foggy’s initial impressions of the man and the mask were very different than the thoughts he had on him now.

At first the Daredevil was this distant and calculated figure. Somehow both cold and fiery at the same time. Unbreakable and unfeeling.

After he fell off the building, Foggy had another impression of the man. He is passionate but perhaps a bit unprepared. Jumping into things without an actual idea of how he wanted to conclude. Foggy thought that the Daredevil wouldn’t have a sense of humour but he must have somewhat of one.

Things were changing so quickly.

Before everything the Devil seemed like an actual god. Like nothing could hurt him. And back then Foggy chased him down with the simple hope that he might be his soulmate. He never had any actual evidence to suggest it but he was determined to find out.

Now the man in the mask was actually a man. He could feel and bleed the same as him. He wasn’t some god like figure.

He used to be a mystery which Foggy was quickly unraveling.

Foggy also noticed his demeanour had changed as soon as Brett left the room. He seemed very guarded. Somehow he trusted Foggy, despite not actually knowing him. Though Foggy did trust the Devil as well.

God, he really needed to know his actual name.

The man said that they would meet again.

But Foggy doesn’t want to meet the Daredevil. He wants to meet the man behind the mask.

Should he try to figure out who he is?

The Devil was hesitant to show his face. It kinda hurt. They should trust each other. But Foggy was putting more trust in Daredevil than he was putting into Foggy.

Foggy knew that his identity was important to him. Easy to understand why. A guy like him has enemies and he wants to keep the people he cares about safe.

But it felt like Daredevil was guarding him away from his actual life. Like the man wanted to keep Foggy away from his actual life. If that made sense?

The whole Daredevil front was because he wanted to do the right thing and saving New York. It wasn’t just for fun or some other darker purposes like Foggy had originally thought.

The morning went by pretty quickly. Suddenly lunch. Foggy had the rest of the day off and it turns out Brett was also off today. So they did something unusual for them. They went to the bar.

The place was called Josie’s. Brett has been there a few times but Foggy always passed it by.

Foggy planned on drinking to forgetting his problems.

Fate had another plan.
