Elektra/Daredevil

Written By: Angel of Neptune

Disclaimer

I do not; in anyway, own Daredevil or Elektra, who both are a part of Marvel. This fan fiction merely uses the characters involved within those two comics.

Title: Returning to You

Genre: Comic/Romance/Drama/Action

Setting: Right after the Elektra movie

Author's Note: I am my own worst critic, which translate into: I'm re-thinking the outlines for chapters 5 – 7. Heck, if they can easily confuse me, then I don't want to even think what would happen to my readers. :P

I'm glad that you are all enjoying this fan fic so far. I'm trying to work my own original twist into it without screwing up everything else. :) Wish me luck.

Summary: After Elektra's adventure with the Millers, she returns to Hell's Kitchen; to Daredevil where she has to face new and more difficult challenges along with the return of an old 'friend.'

Chapter Four

Reunited

Training Room – Matt Murdock's Apartment – Two Weeks Later

Subconsciously, Elektra skipped up and down over the rope that twirled around her. Her hands firmly held both ends as she swung it over herself at an increasing speed. Kindly enough, Matt had lent her his own personally training room while he worked on a case with Foggy at the office this morning. Once more, she began to feel that awful, sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. She began to slow down, but that didn't really seem to help at all. She forced herself to stop completely.

She leaned over slightly, supporting herself by placing her hands just above her knees. She took in deep breaths and released them slowly. It didn't even shake off the light-headedness she was enduring. A slender hand rubbed her sweaty forehead as she threw a random towel over her bare left shoulder as her left hand wrapped itself around it and wiped away her damp neck while she headed towards the bathroom.

Halfway there, Elektra broke out into a sprint, unable to fight against anymore. She threw the door open to the bathroom and collapsed on her knees. Her shoulders hunched back as her neck drew forward while she gagged. Damn! What the hell was the matter with her? Honestly, now she rightfully believed that this was nowhere close to food poisoning or the stomach flu. It was about time she finally admitted she was being hard headed.

She grabbed the edge of the skin and pulled herself up as her free hand to allow the cold water run free from the facets. She cupped her hands together to gather the water together and splashed her face a few times, trying to refresh herself. Elektra instantly turned on the shower and began to rid herself of her gym clothes. She was determined to head down to the local bookstore for a small bit of background reading. At that, she nodded to herself as she leaned her head back and stared up blankly towards the ceiling, driving away the light-headedness feeling.

Millers' New Apartment Complex

Lazily, Abby laid back on the couch out in the not too badly sized living room, staring at the closed television set. Yes, she was, indeed, too lazy to sit up, walk across the room, and come back all just to get the remote control sitting on top of the television. This boredom was really starting to get to her. She figured that in a couple of minutes, it would officially drive her insane. If her father wasn't busy trying to set up a new martial arts school, she could have probably been wandering about the city trying to get use to the ropes-

She raised an eyebrow. Why did she need her father around to do so? As long as she didn't go too far away from the building, she could easily find her way back, right? They had been here a couple of days and she had already discovered that they literally lived right next door to the book store. The fact brought a slight smile to the young teen's face. Perhaps she could find something interesting to read while searching through the many titles? How knows?

Maybe it was a weird though… A thirteen year old, the Treasure, wanting to go to the book store to save herself from boredom. 'If I was Elektra, I would probably be kicking someone's ass right about now.' She mentally told herself, causing her to chuckle lightly. She stood up and grabbed her jacket that was hanging from the door. Shockingly, it was the same jacket Elektra had ruined when they first met. She pulled it on and headed out, picking at the hole that was made by the blade.

Barnes and Nobles

Elektra stood in front of the medical books, gazing through the many different titles; scoffing at some even. Her right pointer finger glided over their bindings as her left latched onto her body as she mumbled the titles and authors under her breath, hoping to catch something relative interesting, clearly not pay attention to what was going on around her. She was too focused on finding the proper book.

So little did she know that Abby Miller had just entered the store, instantly zooming herself right to the novels, a couple of short shelves away from where Elektra was standing. It was as thought she was mimicking Elektra has she glided her index finger across the binders, reading the titles and authors to herself in a low muffled mumble, which was difficult due to her short attention span. This caused her to glare about in different directions, but her eyes froze when they landed on the assassin. Abby couldn't find the will to move closer. Yes, she wanted to, but she was getting over the shock of finding Elektra this fast, especially since they had just moved into the city to begin with. Manhattan wasn't exactly what you would call small to begin with.

Thus, she began her short little walk over towards the woman, one foot in front of the other, that was the key. Abby approached her back silently. Yes, this would be pay back for the time Elektra had scared her during their little 'yoga' exercise. Quickly, she poked Elektra in both sides, causing the unexpected assassin to jerk up and quickly turned around, resisting to randomly karate chop the person behind her, however, upon seeing Abby she broke into a smile.

"Abby." Her smile grew slightly, "What are you doing here?"

Abby shrugged her shoulders lightly, "We just moved into an apartment a couple of days ago. Dad decided to open up a new business here, I guess… or something like that. What about you? I thought you had a permanent place in New York City, not Manhattan."

"I'm visiting an old friend of mine." Elektra replied. "Matt Murdock."

"Oh… Well, I'm seriously bored out of my skull. There isn't anything interesting to do especially when you just moved into a brand new city and have a Dad like mine." She added in a mumble. "So I decided to check out books."

"As I recall from our last meeting, you didn't care what your father said, not that it matters or anything." Elektra teased as she went back to looking through the books, "I'm looking for a medical book. Matt needs them for his case-" She didn't want to tell Abby the truth. It wasn't something she needed at the moment: Abby worrying over her.

"He's a lawyer?"

"Blind lawyer." Elektra answered.

"He's a blind lawyer?" Abby restated. "Tell me more."

"I can't. Not here at least." Elektra replied. "Hey, why don't you give me your new address? Maybe I'll stop by to saw 'hi' to your father."

"Bring your blind lawyer friend along." Abby murmured with a smirk.

Murdock's and Nelson's Law Office

"I don't understand, Matt." Foggy began. "Elektra's dead. No questions about it. Maybe it was some other woman with the same 'scent.'"

"Foggy, I'm telling you… It's Elektra." Matt murmured. "I wanted to tell you so when you see her for yourself, you don't think you need to visit the local mental ward.' She was at the hospital with me."

"I'm having a hard time believing you, Matt." Foggy explained. "This is literally a dead girl walking-"

"Listen, let's just head to the diner." Matt stated. "I need a cup of coffee."

Joe's Shop on 23rd Street

Her soft lips gently grasp the edge of the cup as she sipped away at her hot tea as her bright green eyes locked onto the teenager in front of her, listening in very closely, nodded along as the conversation went on to greater detail.

"…that's when we moved to Florida the first time." Abby continued. "Dad and Mom worked constantly, so to keep myself entertained, I practiced martial arts. Then the whole deal with The Hand started and you know the rest." She shrugged her shoulders, nibbling into a cookie. "So, what about you?"

"I actually lived here once before, with my father." Elektra murmured, drawing herself up from her cup. "Before he was assassinated by, who I believed it was, the Daredevil, that is." She sighed lightly. "That event made me realize just how attached I was to, not only him, but Matt… I was literally over taken by the need to get vengeance, I was thinking clearly. I stabbed him in the shoulder because I thought he killed my father-"

"Then that makes Matt-" Abby began, but Elektra brought a slender finger to her lips, informing her to keep quite as she nodded slightly.

"I didn't realize till later that it was Bullseye would did it." She went on. "So, I went after him, only to get myself killed, and you know the rest." She teased, smiling lightly, but it quickly disappeared. "Rumors have it that Bullseye is back on the streets."

"That's intense." Abby mumbled. "Are you going to go after him?" She asked. Honestly, she was a bit surprised Elektra was sharing all this information to her; now, at this location. I mean, what if someone overheard? Why did she seem a bit off?

"Once I'm feeling better." Elektra replied. "I have been a bit off colored these last few days. Stomach virus of some sort, I believe." She added, wiping Abby's look of worry straight off her face.

The teenager nodded slightly and decided to change the topic from there, "So, do you have a thing for Matt?" She randomly questioned, taking another biscuit as if the question had not really meant anything at all.

Elektra's eyes narrowed slightly at the question. Now there was something she didn't want to share. She remained silent for a moment of two before the door to the diner opened. Both Matt and Foggy stepped inside.

Matt paused as he entered the diner. His nose lifted into the air as he sniffed. Yup, there it was… The same rose oil smell, "Elektra?" He called out to her as he literally followed his nose right to her sitting across from Abby. Elektra stood up and placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Abby, this is Matt. Matt, this is Abby, the girl I was talking to you about earlier." She stated.

"Nice to meet you, Abby." Matt greeted.

Abby nodded, "You too, sir."

Foggy blinked a few times as he rubbed his eyes. God be damned, there was Elektra standing right before them. There was no logical way to explain all this and he really wanted to question it, but he ruled that it would be better if he just bit his tongue this time.

Abby stood up, "I better get going. Dad is going to end up coming home and I'm not going to be there. The first thing I really don't need is to be grounded right off the bat after moving here." She explained, giving Elektra a quick hug.

Elektra looked up towards Matt, "I'm going to walk Abby home." She replied; Matt nodded. "I'll meet up with you later." She said before dismissing herself and Abby from the dinner.

Walk to Miller's Apartment

"You didn't have to come with me, you know." Abby said as they began the walk back to the apartment.

"You're new to the city and it's very easy to get lost." Elektra simply replied. "I wouldn't want you to get hurt and I'm sure your father wouldn't either.

"Yeah, but I could have easily found my way back." She retorted. "Sooner or later."

"That may be true, but having me lead you would make it a lot sooner than later." Elektra pointed out with a slight smirk.

"Anyways, have you had that stomach virus of yours checked out?" Abby asked.

Elektra shook her head, "It'll pass sooner or later."

"That may be true, but having it checked out would make it a lot sooner than later." Abby remarked teasingly. "For all you know it could be something else."

"Such as…?" Elektra asked, wanting to hear the young girl's suggestions.

Abby shrugged her shoulders, "Who knows? Maybe you're pregnant or something."

"Abby." She slightly snapped.

To Be Continued

This chapter is a bit shorter than the others. Gah, I'm sorry about that. There was nothing really planned out for this chapter to begin with.

I feel like an obsessed fan. Has anyone else already watched the DVD 10+ times:P
