Prompt: Elektra AU (I used the Daredevil/Defenders TV shows since I'm not familiar with the movie.)
"Helen, please," Nikola said, swallowing, his eyes flicking between the sword point at his throat and her own eyes, distant and vengeful, "it's me, it's Nikola: your best friend and eternal pain in your ass… you remember me, right?"
"I love you," he said softly, figuring if he was going to say it he might as well get it out before she skewered him - but her expression changed and faltered, and Nikola felt a little spark of hope; he added, still in that soft voice, "Vienna in springtime, do you remember that?"
Then the sword fell away slightly and recognition came into Helen's eyes; "Nikola?" she asked, voice unsteady, before dropping the sword and meeting him halfway, their arms wrapping around each other and holding on tight.
