Chapter fifteen: reactions and repercussions

Abby, Josh and Nikkie's apartment

Nikkie smiled and giggled as she walked into the apartment closing the door behind her. She had been out all night, again. Abby wondered what she had to be doing but never questioned her new found happiness that kept her out of the darkness of her mother's death. The funeral had been weeks past but it still felt like it was just yesterday for the three and they needed to put the past in the past. Nikkie sat on the couch right beside Abby who had been watching some show about the CIA and stuff like that. Abby only looked over at her happy friend and decided to ask her now "What's gotten into you Miss. I'm-So-Happy?"

Nikkie smiled over at her "I met a guy"

"Bout fucking time" she joked "what's his name?"

"Tylor" she smiled just at the name

"And what intentions dose this 'Tylor' have with my Nikkie?" she acted like some over protective parent

"Hey don't get into that I know Josh's intentions are much more than Tylor's I hear it a lot" she laughed

Abby's mouth hung open a red blush across her face, how could she hear them, they where quiet "Shut up Ghetto fly" she stood up

"Aww Abby I'm just kidding" she pulled her back down

They both talked all night to the expense of Josh not coming to cuddle with Abby on the futon. This was a good moment that both the girls could share since it was a rare one in their lives.

Hayley and Gareth's apartment

Hayley sat in astonishment after Gareth had explained that he was some creepy bad guy that had landed himself in the New York papers for a few weeks. He explained everything, how he worked for the "bad guys", how he had stabbed Abby in the shoulder, how he had become what he had become, everything. She stood up taking her eyes off of Gareth and walking to her room where a new mattress laid on a box spring holding the whole thing up. Sher body felt limp and numb, how could he have lied to her, kept secrets when he knew she hated them. Her hand slowly pulled out a handgun from under a box in the corner of the room. her feet seemed to move on their own accord and trudged back out to the living room, he had hurt two of her friends, one emotionally and one physically, he had lied, he had killed to many people to count and now he asked her to forgive him. The handgun pointed at Gareth on the couch as tears blurred Hayley vision and slid gracefully down her cheeks and hit the hard wood floor. "Y-you bastard" she whispered just loud enough for Gareth to hear her and he looked up from the floor where he had stared at.

"Go ahead" he stood up and stretched his arms outward "I deserve it after what I have done to so many people, I've destroyed lives that I don't even know, I've put you and everyone else in danger so do it"

Her hands shook as the gun dared her to shoot pleading her to "why?" she choked out

"Why? Because I was paid to, because I was trained to do my job" he dropped his arms

She couldn't produce anymore words to tell him before he started to talk again "but Hayley I never wanted to hurt you, you're my friend and I only came to do one job then I was out for good, I would never hurt anymore people ever again, I wanted to lead a normal life, one that I could go to school and have a girlfriend, see my parent's every weekend" he took a step towards her reaching out

She backed way from him as if he was a fire that would burn her "then why didn't you stop a long time ago?" she sobbed out

Gareth sighed "I only recently wanted to get out, after how much work you had to do getting this place, to become normal in your own way I wanted to help. I needed to help" he took another step

"stop" she whispered and backed up right into the wall feeling as if she was trapped, as if she could never be happy again

"No" he watched her finger touch the trigger and he only ran to her

She pulled the metal back feeling the bullet fly out with so much force it pushed her arms back almost dropping the gun. The room was silent for a minuet her eyes still closed, her body still numb from everything. Then slowly she opened her tear stained eyes and saw Gareth's hand holding the gun towards the window that had now shattered from the bullet and his eyes locked onto hers. Soon after her knees gave way and she fell to the ground Gareth catching her in his strong arms. They both stayed silent for the longest time before sobs where herd. Gareth's face was buried in her dark blond hair as tears turned it even darker "I'm so sorry Hayley please forgive me please" his quiet but they still could be herd from Hayley's ears.

His hands clutched her white work blouse as he sobbed as if he never let her go. She slowly wrapped her arms around him and cooed the sobs into a comforting silence and she spoke "I don't know if I can Gareth"

Gareth lifted his head to let his red puffy eyes look at her "you can't tell anyone" he commanded

She reluctantly nodded "I won't" she didn't know if it was the thought of him going to prison or getting the death sentence but she couldn't no matter how much he betrayed her.

Stick's compound (months later)

Months had past since the family had arrived there and never thought of leaving till Lily was ready to defend herself even if it took years. Lily sat trying to perfect the kimagouri, seeing the future was her greatest challenge yet she was further ahead of most of the other students that had been there a lot longer than herself. She had been given the week off from training but she thought it would be time wasted since there was nothing else to do. Elektra watched from the dojo next to her daughters, after picking up a class she could teach to –that sometimes included Lily- Elektra smiled at the progress she had made, at this rate they could be home soon, to see Abby, Josh and everyone else. Her high pitched ringing of her cell hit her ears. She flipped open the phone "Hello" she answered

"Hey E" Abby's voice come from the other line

"Hey Ab's what's up" she smiled

"We have a problem" the younger worrier said

"What kind of problem?" Elektra asked

"A new enemy problem, like that guy who attacked me…he's back and angrier than ever" Abby said

Elektra sighed "I'll be there in a day or so"

"Ok bye E" Abby said

"Yeah see yah" Elektra hung up after spotting Matt who had also picked up a class to teach on using senses, ironic right?

She made her way over to him "Abby called" she didn't smile

"And?" he never took his clouded off of his class

"That guy is back"

"What are we going to do?" he asked

Elektra sighed once more "not we, I'm going"

Matt now turned to her "you can't Lily-" he was cut off

"Is doing great and were not going to stop her training, we can almost go home" Elektra put her hand on his chest "Matt I have to go, we have this conversation every time and every time I leave"

He sighed like Elektra had done "Fine E but next time I go" he smiled after his comment

She smiled "Deal" she kissed him "I'll be back in a few days, I love you"

He kissed her back knowing it would be there last for a long time "I love you too"

Elektra ran back to the cabin, stuffed her things into a suitcase from when they first got to the compound and set off back home, back to Hell's Kitchen.
