Chapter Six

Revenge

Elektra swung her legs around the table and stood up. "Come on." She ordered. They obeyed, easily telling she was not in a joking mood.

"Where?" Spiderman asked.

Elektra spoke through gritted teeth. "To find Bullseye."

"Wait!" The old, balding man said. "The war has just begun."

She took off, stomping out of the small building, making a bell ring on the door. Looking back, she noticed she had been laying on what must have been a pool table, considering they were emerging from the pool hall.

She marched through the streets at a quick pace, making the others jog behind her to keep up. With a certain uneasy feeling, she led them away from the Port towards the unexplored northern half of the island.

Once more the streetlights flickered on. Was she really out for a whole day? Or were the Nightmares slowly shortening sun's reign over the currently peaceful streets of the city.

She continued her stride even as the beacon from Alexandria's lighthouse shone in the background. In an instant, the fires were back and the smoke arose from the city.

A man dressed in black leapt from an alleyway in front of her, releasing a wolf whistle from his lips. Elektra halted, looking at him from head to toe and back.

"Hey pretty lady. Hand over the valuables." He mocked. She flipped a sai out from its hidden position on her pants and thrust it through his stomach, quickly pulling it out.

As he fell to his knees and then to the ground, she looked back towards her destination: The large warehouse up ahead. She resumed her pace.

Kit, Anna, and Spiderman stood, open-mouthed. They looked back and forth to each other and continued on, staying a good distance behind her.

"What's her problem?" Spiderman asked.

Anna looked to him as they continued walking. "Rage. Her own Lyfe was taken from her! What other thing can she do but to return the favor."

"...No..." Kit began. "You remember what Stick said: 'The Second Lyfe is never quite like the first.'"

Kit stepped faster, passing Anna and Spiderman. "Elektra maybe we shouldn't do thi-" Elektra whirled around.

"Is there any other way?" She asked.

Kit shrugged unknowingly.

She sighed, looking to her feet, eyes closed. She lifted her head and opened her eyes. "I want revenge." She said.

Kit offered her his hand. "Revenge won't make the pain go away."

"You don't know how I feel!" She cried.

"Yes..." He sighed, lowering his head. "I do."

Elektra looked at him. "Wha-"

Without warning, a loud boom resounded from the city. Elektra turned to view the source of the noise. A mushroom cloud rose in the distance. A building had exploded with tremendous force.

"Carnage!" Spiderman yelled, running past them. "He's not gonna get away with this!"

Anna ran closely behind him. Elektra stayed and stared at Kit.

"How?" She begged.

Kit took off down the road behind them. "We'll talk about this later!" He yelled over his shoulder.

She ran after them, avoiding the pieces of fallen, flaming materials.

Author's Note: You may find these chapters to be very "Elektra-themed." This is for two reasons: 1. I'm hyped about the new Elektra movie coming out January 14th. 2. They are currently in Marvel City. Elektra (no, I didn't make her up... Watch scene 23-26 of the movie Daredevil to understand what she's about) is a Marvel Comic Book Character. Is it not fitting that she be in the comic-world based Marvel City?

P.S.: For those of you who are a fan of the Elektra: Assassin comic book, just know that this is not ugly-black-haired-man-voiced-bathing-suit-wearing-hold-sais-wrong Elektra. This is the Jennifer-Garner-Black-Leather-Awesome-Sais-Great-Battle-Sequences Elektra.
