(It's okay! :> )
"If this has something to do with your Zorth axis again Robo, I swear," Jenkins growled, and uttered a harsh explicative swear. "Infinity minus one?" He quirked an eyebrow and smacked the side of the monitor he was looking at, as if he could shake the glitch out of it.
"Applesauce," Robo muttered, cursing in his own manner. He glanced at the door of the containment field, then back at the lightning gun. After a moment of consideration, he kicked it to the other end of the room. "Jenkins," he started, deadly serious, "do not-"
He didn't get to finish, however. There was a grand rumbling noise, and a bluish bloblike entity seemingly comprised entirely of tentacles sprang up from the center of the gun. "I destroyed you! Across time!" Robo shouted and motioned furiously at the pulsating mass of extradimensional life, even as he backed as far away from it as he could. Its many orange eyes peered at him with malice, and all the odd teeth poking out of it seemed to be pointed at him. In the next instant however, its eyes widened almost imperceptibly, and it imploded with an anticlimatic but sharp popping sound.
"What the hell," Jenkins said flatly. "What the hell." Other staff members began to flood in, including the timid and balding Bernard, who looked reluctant as usual. Meanwhile Robo stood braced apprehensively, but shoot a look over his shoulder at the sound of footsteps.
"No! Get them out of here, Jenkins! If it comes back-" Once more the short silver robot was cut off, this time by a sucking noise emanating from where the shadow creature had disappeared into. There was no wind, nothing but the increasingly worrying warp on Robo's figure that indicated anything else was occurring. As suddenly as it had begun the sucking noise abruptly ended with a final slushing slurp, but the room's remaining occupant had disappeared. There was a long silence broken only by the sound of distant alarms before anyone spoke.
"Aliens," theorized the Action Scientist Vikram.

The Daredevil then turned his attention to the trembling woman behind him once he was sure the thugs had taken off. He could also smell fear coming off her in waves, but it was different than the fear the thugs displayed: hers wasn't afraid of him. He turned his head to the side as he gazed in her direction. "Are you alright?" He gruffly asked, lowering his voice. The last thing he would want would be for someone to recognize his voice. "Did they steal anything from you?" The petrified woman's only response was a brief, forced shake of her head. As a breeze blew through the alley, the young man caught a whiff of the woman's perfume, and he crinkled his nose. It was strong, a bit too strong for his taste. Because of this, he decided to cut the encounter short. He turned his back to her. "Be safe, now," he told her, not bothering to look back over his shoulder as he started to walk. Matt planned on finding another perch on top of a building to await more incidents, but all the sudden, all his senses were assaulted by something he had never experienced before. Though the scent he picked up was almost delicate in some sort of way, it was incredibly strong, and entirely unique. He could even tell whatever was causing this was extremely bright, and he could feel his useless pupils begin to dilate. And the noise of it was deafening to him. The bright blob's mere presence sent the man to his knees, clutching the sides of his head in hopes it would reduce the assault. And then, as quickly as it came, the brightish blob was gone. Matt glanced up from his spot on the ground, his ears ringing. He felt extremely nauseous, and clutched his stomach as he slumped onto a wall. The young man tried his best to make sense of what exactly the thing was, but he just couldn't wrap his mind around it. He couldn't even hear a heartbeat from it.

(Sorry, my dog is old and crapped in the house x.x Also, the creature I used is actually from Atomic Robo, so in case you need an idea of what it looks like here: www.atomic-robo.com/atomicrobo/v3ch1-coveralso, do the people of new york know daredevil is blind?) The ensuring panic that Robo felt after being sucked up by that thing's apparent wormhole was immense. This wasn't like before, when he'd intentionally entered the beast itself and come across the intersection of time and space where all the past and future versions of himself that had also entered the beast met up and destroyed it across time. This wasn't the pristine white "somewhen" of the thing. This was black, though he couldn't be sure if his optics were malfunctioning or if it was just so black that he couldn't pick up anything, on any spectrum he could see. By all accounts it appeared to be nothing, and he entertained the idea that perhaps this was outside the universe, like Charles Fort had told him of. He himself appeared to be nothing as well, since he couldn't feel his limbs or sense any of his internal workings. He was simply being. Then, if he didn't exist, how was he thinking then?, he pondered. Robo didn't get any more time to muse on this subject (or maybe he'd been pondering for a really long time?). The nothingness suddenly ended, and he sustained a brief moment of consciousness before he shut down involuntarily.

(Aww. Poor thing :/ ) (I'll check it out in a sec!) (And no, they don't. They just find it weird when he can't read signs or computers or any of that. But like, Matt Murdock's coworkers and everyone know he's blind. But not the hero himself.)
The young man tried to get back onto his feet too soon; as soon as he tried to, they gave out on him, and he slumped back down to the filthy, damp ground. All of his senses were still overwhelmed by the creature's presence, as his head was still spinning and ears still ringing. He tried to take a deep breath, and then he felt sick, and wretched on the ground. Matt couldn't remember the last time he felt this disoriented and just awful. Wait, he first felt this way when he lost his eyesight. But this was that feeling times a thousand. He slowly lifted his gaze from the ground, panting. The young man then felt arms around his, pulling him up, but the sudden contact frightened him. He couldn't see whoever it was coming. Matt then heard a voice, but it sounded like it was coming through layers and layers of cotton. "Oh my god," the voice breathed through the cotton and ringing. "You need to go to a hospital." It was the voice of the woman he had just saved. He recognized it, but barely. Matt weakly tried to shake his head as an answer. "No," he murmured, "I can't.." He then felt something warm on his face, dripping, just beneath his nose: the thing had given him a nosebleed. He then broke his arm free from the woman's grasp and tried once again to stand up on his own. This time, he could rise to his feet, but he took his time. Though he still felt terrible, he felt his strength starting to return to him. He looked in the direction he thought the creature had disappeared to, furrowing his brow. "I need to go now," he told the woman. He took a few tentative steps to test his body, and since he didn't collapse again, he broke into a jog in that direction. From what he could tell, it was towards the ocean.
(The ocean is kinda where Robo is yeah?)
