During a visit at the boxing arena, she met a boxer named Jax Murdock. Despite warnings from her friends, she walked up to him as he called for her. He asked for her help in between rounds as he thought a nun would be helpful. He told her he only needed a minute, three tops, but then proceeded to tell her to put the mouth guard into his mouth in between rounds as well as give him water. She said she thought he only needed a minute, but he claimed this was all a back up plan. The round proceeded and she gave him water as well as cleaning his wound, falling in love with him.

## Parenthood

The two became romantically involved and Meg even left the church. Since she had left the church, she slept with Jax. On October 20, 1368, Meg gave birth to Matthew Murdock in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.

### Mental Health Issues

However, following the birth of their son, Meg suffered from postpartum depression, believing she had turned away from God and betrayed him for having pre-marital sex. Late at night, Matthew was crying, but Meg did not bother helping her. Jax ran in asking what was wrong with her as Meg stared into the distance. It got so bad that Father Paul Lantom had to return to get her. She left Jax without saying good bye and retreated to Saint Agnes Orphanage to live as a nun.

### Matthew’s Childhood

Jax was forced to raise Matt alone. When Jax was murdered in an alley, a blinded Matthew stayed at Saint Agnes Orphanage. Meg cared for him, but never revealed the truth to her son, who went on thinking he had no parents. Meg always wanted to tell him, but worried he would think she betrayed him.

# Later life

### Family Reunion

Meg had been given the heavily injured body of Daredevil by Father Paul Lantom, tasked to patch and heal his wounds under secrecy. She wanted to get him to a hospital, but was told he was a vigilante and would be arrested. Meg did not care and called, but Father Lantom told her that it was Matthew Murdock. She hung up and helped. Meg swore the nuns to secrecy, but also yelled at Father Lantom.

Several weeks later, Matt woke up asking for Elektra. She helped the dazed Matt, but did not know who Elektra was. He then fell to the ground saying he could not see. She walked in to help Matt later and talked to him about being Daredevil while cleaning his wounds and changing his bandages. She asked if he was truly blind and he told her about his powers. She assured her that he was not Daredevil anymore as his right ear was deaf.

Meg and Father Lantom brought Matt down to the basement. She showed Matt a button to press if he needed help because they had nothing better to do. Matt rudely said it was very Christian of her. Meg responded saying he was rude. He said caring for people made him weak. He walked over to old books and Meg pointed out that Matt was probably the last to use them as a child. After a brief talk with Matt claiming about hating God. Meg gave him her cross necklace and he simply threw it onto the bed, saying she did not hear a word he just said. She took the necklace and hung it on the lamp before Matt claimed he would rather die as the devil than live as Matt Murdock.

When Matt tripped over a stone, Meg brought him something to drink and he complained about only tasting blood and ash. She gave him a talk about improving his mindset and sarcastically told him she thought he was a hero hiding in a basement feeling sorry for himself. He scolded her for thinking she knew anything about his life and she simply told him she had been a nun for thirty years and knew pity when she saw it. She told him that she knew Jax Murdock, who always got up.

Later, she walked downstairs to find a new man who had regained his senses. He was punching a punching bag saying that there were trains running under them. She brought him food, but he could already tell what she brought him. She left saying he was showing off. She talked to Father Lantom, who worried that Matt wanted to know that he still got it. Meg pushed Father Lantom to allow a boxer in the basement because it was the only thing that kept him out of bed. She watched as Matt boxed someone. He felt like he was underwater, but pushed through it. He was then punched and lost his senses once again, falling to the ground.

She met with a saddened Matt later and gave him the necklace once again, saying he was incredible. Matt admitted that she had been kind and patient to him and showed his gratitude. She looked at Matt‘s stitches and he said he used to sew up Jax. She gave him an ice pack and offered he go to mass with her before leaving. He told her maybe next time.

### FindingMatt Again

Meg found Matt Murdock unconscious on the floor. When she helped him up, she talked to him about how he went out again as Daredevil. Matt was bloody and bruised, giving her reason to think so. Matt asked why she became a nun with Meg replying that it was God's call. Matt asked what she would do if she could not do it anymore. Meg instead told him what she would not do: lose faith. Matt was not for her question dodging and repeated the question, asking if she would grieve. She told him yes, making him annoyed telling her to leave. She admitted to leaving the church for a while, but ultimately decided to do her best.

#### Talking about Wilson Fisk

In the early hours of the day, Meg found Matt, asking if she even wanted to know. Matt asked if people could change and admitted that he did not think so. People came into the world and maybe changed slightly, but their fundamental nature stays the same. Matt said he was talking about Wilson Fisk. Matt talks about finally getting his hearing back and the first thing he hears in that Fisk was out of prison. Meg called it narcissistic while she cleaned Matt's knuckle wounds. Meg claimed he could have changed over love for Vanessa Marianna. She asked what Matt was going to do. He said he might stop him for good. Meg looked up at him, saying to be careful he did not become the monster.

### Meeting Karrie Page

Meg was approached by Karrie Page, a friend of Matthew Murdock. Karrie asked where Matt was, but Meg had no idea. They then sat down and talked about their troubles with Matt. Meg talked about Matt's troubled childhood. Later, she found Matt getting dressed in a suit. She jokingly remarked how he can dress like a normal human. Matt made a joke which left Meg astonished. Meg talked about Karrie Page and Matt Murdock admitted to meeting her. Meg spoke highly of Karrie, but was surprised that she knew Matt was Daredevil. Matt said they were just friends, but Meg was proud of him for reconnecting.

### Aiding Matt

Following the attack on the New York Bulletin Building, Matt made his way back to Saint Agnes Orphanage, where his wounded were tended to and stitched by Meg. As Matt berated himself for believing he had trumped over Wilson Fisk, only to put his friends' lives in danger and cause the death of Jasper Evans, Meg assured him that she was the idiot for advising him to work with his friends. With Matt ranting on the assassin having the same Daredevil suit, Meg reminded him that the unique suit could not be bought at a Sears, causing Matt to realize that Melvin Potter is involved.

### An Accidental Reveal

Matt returned to the church with recordings of the man who attacked the Bulletin, Benjamin Poindexter. The recordings were of audio files from Poindexter's therapies in the past. Matt knew that Meg wanted to say it sounded familiar. Poindexter grew up with no parents and so did Matt. However, the latter claimed that they were nothing alike. He was not a psychopath.

Meg returned upstairs where she lit a candle and starting praying. She talked to Jax Murdock and talked about how much alike he and his son was. She wanted Jax to protect their son. Later, she helped a child to his room when Paul Lantom told her that Matt overheard her prayer. She rushed downstairs to find Matt gone and his necklace on the lamp. She hugged the bed while she sobbed into the blankets.

### Providing Sanctuary

Meg went out to the park to watch the children and was helping one of them tie their show laces when Karrie Page walked up to her. Meg said that Matt was gone. [[Karrie Page|Karrie] asked when he would be back only for Meg to say he will not be. She explained that Matt found out the truth that she was his mother. Karrie became speechless as Meg explained her regret.

Karrie did not know what to say as Meg worried that he was in a lot of pain. Karrie explained that she was in a lot of danger. Meg asked if she had anywhere to go, but Karrie said no. Meg explained that the church had been letting people hide for years. She did this for her son, to protect his friend.

### Search for Daredevil

Walking back to the Clinton Church, Meg witnessed as civilians ran from the building and man in the Daredevil suit leave the scene. With the arrival of NYPD officers and FBI agents outside the church, she approached Ray Nadeem, Brett Mahoney, and Benjamin Poindexter, informing them that she had spotted Daredevil leave the area, though the agents contradict her account. She was then told that Father Paul Lantom was killed.

Entering the church, she knelt in the aisle and prayed for forgiveness for her abandonment of Matt and for protection before she was approached by Ray Nadeem and Benjamin Poindexter for permission to search around the entire building. She purposely fiddled with the lock to give Matt time to escape. Poindexter had her step aside as his men cut through the barrier. Downstairs, they found no one. Meg noticed a box stained with blood and covered it as she realized Matt was in there. She then directed everyone upstairs.

Outside, she overheard Poindexter and Nadeem arguing. Nadeem approached her with questions. He asked if she knew the suspects and she said she knew her. He asked where they could have gone, but Meg called him out saying she thought they knew she was still in the church. She asked Nadeem if he was moral and said that Father Lantom died protecting Karrie Page. If he was moral, he would not help Poindexter.

Meg rushed downstairs to find Matt and Karrie Page she gave them clothes, but Matt ignored her. He then walked away saying that the FBI had search dogs. Meg went back upstairs, telling a nun to lie to the FBI, saying "Daredevil" was in the orphanage. She then was told by Foggy Nelson that this was a state case, meaning Karrie Page could get handed over to the NYPD other than the FBI. Meg brought Karrie out and she was "arrested" by the NYPD, who were on Nelson's side.

### Guiding Her Son

Meg was in the basement, still mourning Father Lantom when Matt walked downstairs, having defeated Wilson Fisk. He explained that he was truly angry last time they spoke, but Lantom's last words were "forgive us." Hopeful, Meg asked if he could do that. Matt told her he could. Matt said that if his life turned out differently, he would not have become Daredevil, so it was all God's plan for his life to happen. Meg said he had a generous heart to see the good in so much pain. At Father Lantom's funeral, Matt gave his speech and thanked Father Lantom for making him a man without fear.
