Without warning, Matt and Satine heard Kenobi's voice through the receiver. "Duchess, Matt, please confirm."

"Can I get you another drink?" Vizsla asked.

"Yes of course."

"I'd rather not." Matt said. "I'll save some for dinner. Don't want to start without Obi-Wan."

"I'm in a bit of an awkward position. I'm being held by the Death Watch.

Visla refilled a glass for himself and the Duchess, then turned back with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, Duchess. We're out of ice.

“I’m sorry to hear that.”

“Sometimes I don’t usually use it.”

"Perhaps we should start dinner without General Kenobi."

"There's a tracking feature on your commlink, Satine. Or, if you want, have Matt accompany you, as he's a better fit. Follow it east to my position.

“I don’t know if I can do that right now.”

Prey was a little confused by what Satine just said.

“This is extremely urgent.

"Duchess, are you feeling unwell?"

Satine stood up from her seat and smiled. "Maybe some fresh air will do me some good."

"Shall I escort you out?"

“Take the flying car. It’s rough terrain.

Matt stood up and soon followed the Duchess. "I'll go with her. I need some fresh air myself.

"you sure?"

"Of course." Matt patted his sunglasses. "Sometimes I get migraines."

Prey just looked at them with mild confusion as they left the room and once they had walked a distance they began running towards the hangar.

"Sadin, you know I can't drive a flying car," Matt announced. "I'm blind, not to mention I haven't had time to learn how to operate one of these."

Satine wanted to ask how that was possible, since he seemed to be walking around like any normal person, but then put the question aside. Now, Obi-Wan needed their help.

After getting on the speeder, she patted the seat behind her. "Hold on to me."

After getting in the car, he put his arm around her waist. "I promise not to do anything."

"I'll hold you."

She wasted no more time and took off just as Matt was thrown off a bit.

Matt remained mostly silent as the car sped across the Concordia terrain, because…

"Governor Vizsla is hiding something from us."

"What?" Satine looked back at him in confusion.

"Back at the estate, he was guarding his left arm and seemed very tired. He had been in a fight recently.

"How could you possibly know that?" Satine asked, slightly offended. "Didn't you say you were blind?"

"I have my ways. Kenobi compared me to Miraluka and understood how I felt about things.

"Feel something?"

"I'll tell you more later, here we are."

Arriving at the mining facility, Matt and Satine exited their speeder, the former stopping her for a brief moment. Taking off his clothes, Matt revealed the black and red vest he wore under his suit, with two red intertwined Ds on the upper right corner.

Before her eyes, Sadine watched as a black and red metallic suit appeared around the blind man, with a horned helmet around his eyes and nose, leaving only his mouth and chin exposed.

"Let's go," Daredevil motioned for her to follow him, and the two of them carefully entered the dark tunnel.

As they walked in, they heard Obi-Wan's voice again.

Satine held onto the wall next to her and spoke into her wrist. "Where are you?"

"Listen to the loud metallic clanking. That's going to be a machine that's about to smash me to pieces. He said angrily as clanking sounds were heard in the background.

Daredevil clung to the wall next to the Duchess and heard several heartbeats. One was crawling, while the others were calm.

"We need to get the Deathwatch out of the room," Daredevil said.

Seeing a panel nearby, Satine began to fiddle with it before activating the alarm. As it went off, Satine and Daredevil saw a pair of Deathwatch members rushing past them, and they quickly took cover behind a conveyor belt. As they approached, Matt pounced.

He caught them both off guard with a spinning chop, knocking them both to the ground, then delivered a quick jab to the left side of his neck, knocking him down, before flipping and knocking out the other guy.

"Is it really necessary?" Satine asked with a frown.

"Would you like them to come back when we rescue Obi-Wan?" Daredevil said.

Sardin's silence gave him the answer.

Rushing towards the captured Jedi, they were quickly dispatched by him. "Well, that certainly took you long enough," Kenobi exclaimed from his containment field while being hung upside down.

"You know, we haven't rescued you yet."

"Yeah~ no need to remind me."

"be patient."

"I'm just a little impatient right now."

Wow... From the way they talked, Matt felt as if they were arguing like a stubborn married couple.

Climbing over to the console, Satine began fiddling with the controls. "Now let's see. One of these should work.

"Satine, turn off the machine!" Kenobi said, now more desperate as he got closer and closer to the broken portion of the device.

"I'm trying."

"hurry up!"

"Will you stop yelling at her? She's trying as fast as she can. Daredevil growled, feeling his ears ringing slightly from the roar and noise of the machine.

"So what are you doing?" Kenobi yelled, earning a cold look from the blind hero that made the Jedi realize his words. "I'm… sorry, my friend.

"There!" Satine pressed the controls to prevent Obi-Wan from being crushed.

"Why doesn't he come out?" Daredevil asked, "seeing" that the device was still functioning.

"We want to rescue him now."

"Hey."

Daredevil turned around and saw the Mandalorian he had knocked out running back.

"Haha, they recovered faster than I thought." Daredevil said loudly.

"We'll kill you first, you bastard," the leading Death Watch member yelled, leaning forward to fire a missile, which Daredevil flung away at top speed. The blast still held him in the air, and he fell to the ground.

The Death Watch Mandalorians rushed at Daredevil, and the Avenger stood up and kicked the first one in the chest before blocking the other's fist and slapping it aside.
