Chapter XVII

Elektra

I opened my eyes to find myself lying on a bed in a dark room. I tried to sit up.

"AH!" I screamed out in pain as it shot through my ribs.

"Hey, it's OK. It's OK. Just lie still," came a woman's soft voice from the dark room.

I recognized the voice from the ally. The woman who had saved me. She rushed over to the bed and turned on the lamp on the night stand.

"Shh. You're OK," she said softly, placing a soft, cool hand on my hot, sweaty forehead. "Your fever went down some, that's good," she added, smiling.

Fever? Oh great, a new, the ability to make myself sick. B-E-A-utiful.

"So, what's your name?"

"Jen," I answered, wincing in pain.

It hurt to breath, let alone talk.

"I'm Elektra."

It was 8:00a.m., but Elektra's apartment was still dark as night. She told me that she liked the dark and when I asked her why she didn't answer.

"So, what were you doing wandering around Hell's Kitchen at 6 in the morning?" Elektra asked, changing the dressing on my side.

"It's a long story," I said through gritted teeth as the cold air hit my side causing me to flinch.

"Well, I've got time, if you feel like sharing," she said, finishing with my side.

I hesitated.

I didn't know how she would react when she found out that I was a mutant. On the other hand, she had saved my life. But, what confused me though, was that she brought me to her apartment instead of a hospital. So, she must know something. Right?

So, I decided to tell her. I told her everything. Elektra stayed silent until I was finished. Then she just stared at me.

OK, she's gonna stare me to death. Well, that's new.

"Well, you must be hungry after wandering around New York for 4 hours," Elektra said, getting up off the bed.

Huh?

"Yeah, kind of," I said, kind of confused.

Guess she's not gonna kill me after all.

"Good, cause Matt's about to bring me some Sushi," she headed towards the hall.

"What...?" I started, but she cut me off.

"You ever had Sushi?"

"No."

"Well, there's a first time for everything," she said, leaving the room.

"Ya got that right," I said to myself.

Elektra returned to the room a few minutes later, followed by a man in a pair of sunglasses with black lens. He carried a bag of food in one hand and a cane in the other. He had brown hair and he wore blue jeans and a dark blue T-shirt.

"Jen, this is Matt Murdock," Elektra introduced him.

I noticed that she was no longer in her red leather outfit from the ally; instead she was wearing black pants and a black tank-top, she also had her hair pulled back into a ponytail.

"He's a lawyer," she added, smiling at him.

"It's nice to meet you, Jen," Matt said, putting the food down on a desk.

I didn't get a change to answer him.

"Well, I should go," Matt said, moving towards the hall.

"No, stay awhile," Elektra pleaded, placing her hand on his arm .

"I can't. I have a lot of work to do," he said, removing his arm from her hand and leaving the room.

"I'll be right back," she said to me in a low voice, before she went after him.

I heard them talking in the living room. Then I heard the door open and close.

Elektra came back with two cans of pop. She handed one to me, along with a plate of Sushi.

"I'm sorry he left," I said, poking at the Sushi.

"It's not your fault. Besides, he's coming back tomorrow, any ways," Elektra said, eating a piece of Sushi.

Tomorrow? What time is it?

I looked at the alarm clock on the night stand. It read 12:00p.m. I felt really tired though. I think it's because it's, like, always dark here.

I must have dosed off, because when I woke up, I heard Elektra talking to someone, and it was now 8:55p.m.

Damn! What did she do, drug me? I don't think I've ever slept that long in my life.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were bringing them here?" I heard Elektra say, she sounded upset.

"They're worried about her. They wanted to see her and talk to her," came Matt's calm voice.

Who are they talking about?

A/N: alright there's ch.17. now if you don't know that much about Elektra and you want me to explain her more in my next A/N just say so and i'll try to explain her the best i can.
