Chapter fourteen: truth be told
Abby, Josh and Nikkie's apartment
They all slowly entered the apartment fearful for what Abby was in for now since she had 'borrowed' Elektra's assassin outfit and almost gotten herself killed. Elektra closed the door behind her and looked at the counter where a small sheet of paper laid, ink still drying on the sheet. Nikkie had just left, just as well, she probably would have been killed my Elektra's death stare that she had already been giving both Abby and Josh. Abby looked to the floor as if something there could have saved her from Elektra who was now circling them like a hawk on its pray. "How did you get it Abby?" Elektra asked referring to the costume
Abby kept her eyes glued to the floor "In the apartment I found the room and found that" she pointed to the bag with the costume in it then looked over at Josh "you can go baby your not in trouble"
Josh nodded and let the tight grip on Abby's hand go, and as he left Elektra watched almost making both of them feel like kids, like they had been tiny kids getting in to trouble from little kid mischief. Elektra looked back at Abby's shamed form "you could have gotten killed out there, and you know that once a person is brought back from kimagouri once you can't do it again" her tone angry but filled to the brim with worry
"I know E…I just-" she was cut off by the older warrior
"Just what waiting for one of my enemies to pick you off like some fly on the wall" she almost shook before taking Abby's chin softly and making her looked into Elektra's eyes "if anything happened to you because of me…I just couldn't live" she said almost in a whisper
Josh watched from the door frame what he stood at. The actual door only opened a crack, he felt like some spy with an alias peeking in on a secret conversation. Abby was almost in tears "Elektra I know I stole the outfit and I know I got hurt but you know I have to learn things the hard way, you tell me one thing, I go do the opposite to see how far I can get, and this time I did learn" she cracked out
Elektra smirked "your to stubborn for you own good" she laughed
"And who do I have to thank for that Miss. Stay-here-and-I'll-save-the-world-without-you" she laughed talking about their first encounter
"Hey you followed me" Elektra laughed back "come here" she wrapped her arms safely around Abby care full not to hurt her shoulder
"I'm sorry E" she managed to muffle out
"Don't do it again" Elektra smiled
They parted and Abby smiled "never…..ok just if you need some help" they laughed loudly having a moment where they weren't dripping with darkness in every moment
Rooftops onto of Hell's Kitchen (12am)
The masked figure rose high above the concrete streets, the smoky manholes, or the lazy workers coming home from they long business days. A sigh escaped him letting the long breath turn into a light steam in the air. The police where after him now since the girl had talked when she was at the hospital and him life would be spent looking over his shoulder and never going down alleys again. The black mask with the reddish tinge smiled at the night sky and the long, he was and enemy without name, and friend without anyone to protect, an empty shell with a soul. He could feel no pain, due to an accident long ago when he had been caused serious nerve damage and now that had prevented him to feel any pain at all, he was not a super hero morphed my radioactive substance, or an alien from another planet, he was just some just who had been in a horrible accident and was very lucky to even be alive. Yet he felt like he should have lost his life. The wind howled in his ears as if pulling him towards somewhere, and he followed unaware where he would be lead
His legs tossed him over rooftop to rooftop leading him towards his own home, and he knew what he had to do, why his own feeling had lead him here. He landed on the fire escape rail still keeping perfect balance, he was a bad guy as people would call them, a man who worked for the enemy, but why now would he chose to tell someone. A girl sat on small withered couch in front of a large black and white T.V her wavy hair up in a bun with a hair net on it still letting down a few wavy pieces down to cover some of her face as if she had just gotten off of work. A set of black framed glasses he had never seen setting on her face as her eyes covered each word in the book she had read so many times before and probably would read another time. A creak sounded as his feet carried him towards a window on the other side of the apartment, and all he could think about was could he tell her, could he reveal that he had been working for the enemy. He shook his head only enough to ride him of the on coming headache that had been building in the back of his head. One more step then, another loud creak this one able to wake the girl out of her waking daze as she rose from the couch and over to the window. His mind was ablaze, stay, no go, no stay and tell her, no go and hide, he could figure out what to do. The girl opened the window finding the masked man standing straight on the rain his arms crossed in front of his chest "Who are you?" she asked as if never wanting to know
He sounded in a gruff voice masking his own "the one with no name"
"That doesn't help there, because you know that I want a creeping guy outside my window" she said sarcastically
The man chuckled "are you always this sarcastic?" he asked
She nodded "yup I think so"
"I thought so" he smiled behind the mask
"Again who are you" she put arms around her to keep some warmth in
He saw he shaking a little and decided to go sooner than he wanted "so you will know" and with that he jumped off the railing catching the drain pipe and riding it all the way to the street then running off into a dark alley, his alias as the man with no name
The girl watched then slowly backed into the apartment where a loud beeping when off and before she knew it she had gone back to her normal routine unfazed by the masked man.
Stick's compound
Matt lay silently as he always did but tonight he hadn't been too tired. His body almost lifted itself up as if it never wanted to go to bed in the first place. He slowly felt for his shoes and slid them on then grabbed the maroon and white stick and went on his way towards what he now called Elektra's dojo. The silence of the night almost creped him out if it was not for the crickets chirping there night songs. His feet only dragged him to the soft wooden steps and made him sit down on the cold wood. The night had been freezing but Matt felt hot to the touch as if he had been in a hot tub to long. His hands propped his head up at the stars twinkled down on him, but he couldn't see. Even if he had his eye sight back he didn't want to see them without Elektra and he longed for her over the two days they had been apart. When Elektra had found Matt lying in the bed almost dead he promised himself he would never let her go, never. The sound of footsteps on the soft dirt ground came to Matt's ears and he had already jumped to his feet his stick in front of him ready to battle anyone. "So this is how you greet me now?" the soft, sweet voice rung in his ears
Matt dropped his stick and ran over to Elektra who undoubtedly was standing before the steps of the small wall less dojo. He grasped her in his arms "Never leave again" he whispered
"Never" she gripped his shirt as they kissed passionately
"Come sit here E" he pulled her to the dojo floor as he lay back down
Elektra followed him and laid her head on his strong chest "the stars are brighter out here" she giggled
"Yeah" he smiled down at he as he ran his hands through her dark brown hair "how's Abby?" he asked
"She's fine, a little beaten up but fine" she closed her eyes
Matt didn't bother to ask what had happened as long as she was okay then he was happy. Soon Elektra's head lifted from his chest "I need to go check on Lily" she whispered
Matt grabbed her arm softly "she's asleep Elektra" she whispered back as if he would wake the entire compound
"I need to" she ran her hand over the side of his face
"Please Elektra stay, stay with me" he whispered even softer
She couldn't fight it, those words, those three little words that meant the most to her. She nodded and laid back down and slowly, very slowly fell asleep as if nothing could touch her, she was invincible.
Hayley and Gareth's apartment
Gareth entered the door only to see Hayley sitting on the couch wearing a set of black framed glasses while she ate some pizza pockets that had been sitting in the fridge frozen for at least a week. He smiled and removed his jacket letting cold air reach his bare arms "little cold in here" he said
"Yeah I opened the window a little earlier, some guy on the fire escape" she never looked up from her food
Gareth walked over and sat on the couch beside her plopping down as if he were tired "do you know who it was?" he asked
"Some freak in a Halloween mask" she said with a mouthful of hot food
Gareth laughed as Hayley tiring to cool the food in her mouth but never truly seceding "really, well you know I herd rumors that there's some guy trying to been like The Dare Devil…a lot of freaks out there" he leaded his head on the back of the couch
"Mmmhm" she looked at her book that was sitting on the table
"Aww common not that book again" he brought the book to his face as the title read 'Scribble of dreams'
She snacked the book away from him "yes I love this book it's so good"
"It's about high school romance, how can that be good" he laughed
"It just is okay" she pouted
"Okay there hopeless romantic" he laughed
"What's wrong with that?" she spoke
"Nothing" he pause "hey about that guy on the fire escape did he say his name?"
"Not really, he said he was the one with no name" she gave a confused look
"Oh ok" he sighed "hey Hayley?"
"Yeah?" she looked up from her book that she had re opened
"I'm that guy"
