For They Dare

Summary:

The Demons of Hell follow their Lord, and their Lord Lucifer and The Lord.

Or the one where Demons have a religious schism due to none other than Daredevil.

Notes:

Prompt: http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/6856.html?thread=12844488#cmt12844488

There are demon worshiping cults of humans, why not a human worshiping cult of demons?

Actual demons start following Daredevil believing, at first, that he is a fellow demon due to his love of violence, ability to sense lies, the way he knows things regular mortals don’t/can’t. At first they’re confused as to why he runs around beating up criminals but never kills anyone or causes too much chaos and violence outside of Hell’s Kitchen, so they assume someone must have summoned him and made a contract or something but they are disabused of the notion (maybe one of them approaches Daredevil, maybe it’s just something he does that cause them to reconsider it). But then they realize that Daredevil is the smartest demon ever! He doesn’t kill because that way he can keep having fun torturing the humans forever, if he killed them then he’d have to go find new victims all the time and that always draws attention. And his ‘cover’ of vigilante gives him a great excuse to be beating up and tormenting people but because he’s hurting the ‘bad guys’ nobody assumes he’s a demon (except for the fact that the newspapers gave it away with his name). So the actual demons decide to follow the teachings of the brilliant demon Daredevil and it becomes a Thing. Like Daredevil has a cult following of demons who worship him and set him up as an idolized being to strive to be like (except they make sure to give themselves innocuous names that don’t hint at their demon origins) who all claim to be followers of “The Way/Path of Daredevil”. Of course they assign a rotation to semi-follow Daredevil around and be ready to help him if he gets into too much trouble or something because he is their leader/god and must be protected at all costs so he can continue to lead them on the Path of Daredevil which means actual demons start popping in and helping Daredevil out with their clearly demonic powers when he starts losing a fight. Eventually the demons do realize that Daredevil is just a man, but by that time the Way of Daredevil has proven to be effective and the demons following him decide to stay his followers and keep protecting him.

Matt is super probably distressed and conflicted when he eventually discovers what is happening because demons are evil and he’s not okay with them tormenting humans, but these demons have sworn to follow the Way of Daredevil and not kill people and only hurt criminals/villains while acting as superheroes/vigilantes so really they’re not much different than him at the moment. He never wanted to be a demonic ruler, being respected and looked up to and obeyed by demons makes him super uncomfortable. (Of course Foggy makes a joke about Daredevil summoning legions of his demon minions into battle, but it’s really not funny because that could seriously happen if Matt called on them.)

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

"Blasphemer!" Hissed the blue looking demon as the black wisp of smoke entered the church under the closed doors. "Repent!" It growled. "Lucifer is the Way! See the fire, see the Night!"

"Away with you, Luciferian!" The red eyed woman growled, eyes glowing with the hint of hell fire. "Away with your lies! You cast your shadow on this door way no more! We know the way lies not with Satan."

"Begonnneee you both." The girl with long brown hair growled though her mouth moved like a human mouth. "We have serviccccceee ssssooooon."

A tap-tap-tap had them turning. The blind man appeared and stopped. He sniffed. The first demon lunged at him, the other two cast him out of the Holy Ground.

"My Lord!" The second demon groveled. The third looked disgusted.

"I heard the commotion. You should let them enjoy the service, Abyzou. Father Lanthom spends a lot of time planning the Service for the Others. You have no idea how much supervision he has to go through to offer proper liturgy with the Church's approval."

"As you wish, my Lord. We may not agree with the Divergents, but we know they are still Bretheren." The man nodded and the second demon vanished with the barest hint of Hellfire.

"Will you be joining us and the Fatttheeer, Mattheewww?" the third demon asked. Matt shook his head.

"No, I came earlier in the morning. I have to meet with Foggy."

"A yes, the Scale. Your Peter."

"Please don't call Foggy my Peter."

"My apologies, Lord- I mean Matthew. I am still unlearning the language from the Murdockians."

"Please don't call them that either."

"As you wish, the Brethren it is."

"It is startttinggggg." A voice called from inside. The demon ran in. Matt stood and tried not to laugh at the absurdity of it all.
