"Everyone also knows what SHIELD is too," Daredevil said in a matter-of-fact tone. "I mean, they're as well known as the CIA, the FBI, the KGB, HYDRA, AIM..." she trailed off. "Please, surprise me and tell me that those acronyms are familiar to you." Sure, she'd left out SWORD, STRIKE, and some of the other agencies out there, but they wouldn't be as wel known to the general public.
If anything, it was clear that Daredevil was losing her patience with this girl, whoever she was. It was funny, really. The girl behind the cowl tended to be a warm, upbeat, friendly person. She worked hard to maintain that attitude even though some nights she felt an encroaching darkness fighting for dominance in her personality. Tonight, though, she just wasn't having it, and the darkness that Daredevil had always tried to bury underneath a facade of warmth and merriment was threatening to take over.
"As far as playing dress-up goes, if you knew anything - and it's becoming increasingly clear that you don't - you'd realize that heroes who aren't Avengers - heroes like Daredevil and Spider-Man and Valkyrie - have been around for a long, long while, and they've run around in costume fighting crime and saving the day as well. That goes all the way back to the first heroines like Blonde Phantom and Sun Girl as well." Daredevil was nothing if not well-read on the heroes - and the women - who had come before her. "Honestly, little girl," that, coming from a sixteen year old, "maybe it's time for you to go home. Clearly you don't know enough to be roaming the streets this late at night. Especially if you think that flinging a piece of gravel at someone is a good self-defense technique. Newsflash? It's not."
