Never Alone

Elektra

FOUR escape

Matt had waited for Foggy to get distracted by one of the screaming diners for his chance to leave. He jumped through the window and concentrated on Elektra, the smell of her, the sound of her anything that would lead him to her. After running around aimlessly for almost an hour he finally caught scent of her perfume while running past an alley. His highly enhanced sense of smell continued to amaze him. It was an amazing quality and yet at times it made him feel as though he should quit the Law practice and join the police force working with the K-9 unit. He sure as hell would give those dogs a run for their money. He stopped and sniffed at the air while slowly entering the alleyway. She had been here recently.

"Elektra!" he called out.

He stopped and listened intently for the sounds of a struggle or fight of some kind. He sighed when the only sounds he heard where cars somewhere off in the distance and his own heart beat thumping rapidly in his chest. He ran his hands along the wall as he wondered why everything was so quiet. He was almost sure she had been here, so where was she? Grazing his hands along the wall he continued to think to himself before his hand found an open hole. He had to quickly catch himself before he fell through the gigantic hole in the side of the building.

"Elektra?" He called this time a little more worried.

He stepped into the crumbling interior of the building slowly and cautiously. He banged his walking stick along the side of the building, which produced sound waves that triggered his "sonar" vision. He was able to actually see where he was: a blank, dank and decrypted inside of an abandoned warehouse. He noticed the broken sections of the wall that were scattered along the floor. He noticed everything but Elektra and that woman. He started to worry and he actually felt fear tingle his insides as he thought of her lying somewhere begging for help. Where are you Elektra?

It had only been five minutes since she woke up and during those five minutes she had tried every method of escape. She sighed and cursed the woman for bringing her here. She was also extremely furious that the woman now had her Sais. Her hands itched with the feeling of her weapons; she couldn't wait till she had them again. She looked around again noticing only a door a few feet in front of her. In the middle of the door was a horizontal slot that was used for food trays was Elektra's best guess. She suddenly had an idea. But it would have to happen at the right time and be planned precisely. She moved to the left of the door. 'Hopefully it's lunch time.' She thought to herself. An hour later she hadn't moved an inch when she heard the soft padding of shoes on linoleum. 'Show time.'

Gordon Ames carried the tray carefully through the halls, his padding footsteps was the only sound that could be heard. He looked down at the plate and frowned at the brown slop that sat in a huge mass. He hand no clue why Diana ordered him to send this to Elektra. Se was supposed to be dead already, not sitting in a cell eating…stuff. He turned a corner and stopped on the first door on his left. He pushed the tray in trough the slot and waited for her to take it. Instead someone grabbed his thumb and twisted it hard causing him to drop the tray.

"Ahh, shit!" he cried out.

"Open this door or I will break your finger off." Her voice was filled with anger and truth.

He knew she would do it, but he was given orders not to let her out under any circumstances. He feared telling her no, but he feared Diana more.

"I can't."

For a moment nothing happened and he thought he was in the clear that was until he felt his thumb snap to the side. He felt the bone splinter and break as a tremendous scream tore from his throat. He heard her again even above his own pain filled whimpers.

"Open the door or I'll move on to the next finger." He felt his hand being drawn in and then he felt her grip on his index finger.

"Please." He wailed. "I can't she—''

He didn't even get to finish begging as his index was snapped in half. He let out an even louder scream this time. He was hoping someone would hear his cries and come to his rescue. No one came. He felt the grip move from his broken finger to his wrist and feared what would come next.

"I'll break your wrist this time." It was short and straight to the point.

He struggled through the pain and used his free hand to grab the key ring off of his belt buckle. He found the right key and shoved it into the keyhole then twisted it until he heard a click. The grip on his wrist let go and he scrambled to the opposite wall cradling his right hand as the door opened. She walked out with anger burning in her eyes.

"Where is she?" Elektra asked.

Between whines he finally said, "Level two."

Elektra looked around and noticed that they were in a basement of some kind. Level two it is then. She proceeded to leave but not before she snapped her heel across his face knocking him out.

Elektra made it to level two in record time. She looked around and noticed that there was only one door on this level. Without hesitation she ran straight at the door and swung it open. There was no one in it. But there was a wall of screens, which displayed different sections of the building. She must've been watching and saw me coming.

"Damn," Elektra muttered. Out her peripheral vision she saw a figure cross the middle screen. She turned and stared at the screen, the person was gone but there was a sign that hung on the wall in the screen. Roof Access. She exited the room and made her way all the way up the staircase to the door that said Roof Access. She pushed through the doors and stopped when she noticed the person standing at the edge. He turned and smiled at her.

"Hello Gorgeous." He turned and Elektra noticed he had her Sais in his hands. He noticed her eyeing them. "Tell me," he said twirling them around in his hands. "Are these the same one I killed you with?"

Elektra rubbed at the scar that was left on her chest as she remembered very vividly how painful her death was. Reliving that memory fueled her with so much hate and anger that she forgot all about the woman. Bullseye was her main priority at this point. She charged at him and threw a furry of punches. He dropped her Sais as he dodged around her attacks.

He laughed while dodging her punches; "I gotta tell you Elektra I haven't had this in a long time." He caught her arm and curled her towards him. Her back was pressed up against his chest as he sniffed along her neck. "You smell better than you did last time."

Elektra used her free hand to grabbed tightly at his unmentionables, which caused him to slightly release his hold on her. She elbowed him in the gut then broke free from his hold. She snatched up her Sais and banged the hilt of her Sai across his jaw.

"Bitch," he cursed while spitting blood.

Elektra swiped at his throat just barely missing. She swiped again but this time he caught her left arm. He pulled her arm down while bringing his knee up at the same time, the force knocked the Sai right out of her hand. He immediate grabbed the weapon before it hit the ground and slammed his boot into Elektra's chest. She grunted as her back slammed against the ground. Before she could get up Bullseye was on top of her with the Sai pointed at the same spot where he had previously impaled her.

"Feels familiar eh?" he breathed.

Elektra jammed her remaining Sai into his shoulder and punched him in the throat. She pushed him off of her and got to her feet. She picked up her Sai as Bullseye got to his feet too but not as quickly.

"I oughta' toss you into the waters below."

Elektra tightened her hold on the Sais as she ran straight for him planning to impale him. She never made it. Halfway there she was thrown off her feet by an invisible force. She twisted through the air as she neared the edge of the roof. She slammed down hard on her stomach, and hoping that Bullseye was right, she fell straight off the roof.

Bullseye watched as his opponent flew through the air then finally off the roof. It was exactly what he had planned to do. He was supposed to have thrown the bitch to her death. He turned and glared angrily at Diana who stood in the doorway.

"I need you alive. I didn't break you out of prison just so you could challenge her and die!" She glanced at his bleeding shoulder.

"You better have that taken care of." With that she turned and left leaving Bullseye to vent furiously.

Gordon Ames woke up to a massive migraine, and his two broken fingers only made it worse. He groaned as he slowly got to his feet. He prayed that Diana wasn't watching from the room. He wasn't up to dealing with her. He slowly shuffled around the corner when he bumped into Dina. A look of fear crossed his face as he noticed her hard expression.

"I saw what happened to you." She said. "I also watched you open the door for her."

Gordon began to whimper again, "I'm sorry, so sorry."

"It's okay," Diana said soothingly. "I know it wasn't your fault." She embraced the man and rubbed at his back.

'What the hell was going on' he wondered. Slowly he succumbed to Diana and relaxed.

"Thatta boy," she cooed. "Oh and don't worry you can be replaced."

Gordon's eyes opened in realization and terror for he knew what was to come next. Diana grabbed his head and snapped it to the side. Gordon's lifeless body slid back down to the floor,

eyes wide open.

A/N: sorry for the chapter. I only had an hour to write it and I had writer's block! And sorry about Bullseye. I know he speaks in an accent but I am only so talented. Chap 5 will be posted by or before next Sunday! Remember reviews get the chapters out faster.
