Familiar faces
Elektra was back in New York City, this time, to stay. She'd been a hired assassin, murdered by Bullesye, brought back to life, an assassin again, but now, she was just Elektra Natchios, former assassin, back in New York City, determined to get a fresh start. Or something like that. Every time she tried one, it seemed almost impossible.

There was one person, though, that Elektra knew that she could count on. Though they may not be lovers anymore, she could still go to him. He was one of the few people that had Elektra's full trust and loyalty.

She waited until nightfall before she set to Hell's Kitchen, in full uniform. It was early, and she knew his entire patrol route by heart, even though it had been awhile.

Eventually, she found him. Fighting off a decent-sized gang of thugs. From her perch, Elektra looked down to see what he was fighting for. A child, scared in a corner, clutching a small teddy bear. A small smile crossed her face. That was the Matt she knew, always defending those that couldn't defend themselves.

Elektra jumped down from her perch, sending a kick at one of the thug's necks. He went down, flat on the ground. Elektra pulled out her sais, twirling them around her hands. She didn't need to say anything. He'd know who it was.

Elektra lowered her head, considering what he had just told her.

Everything that they'd ever been through together, to some it might seem a little weird that he was offering for her to come and stay with him. But it was Matt. He always looked out for those that he cared about. If he was the one in her situation, Elektra would be giving him the same offer.

"Thank you, Matt," she said, smiling at him, "I'll move my things over later."

A pause.

"It's not...going to be awkward for you?"

"No, not at all. You and I have been through a lot, Elektra. You'd do the same for me if our situations were reversed." he says.

He removes a spare key from a pouch in his pocket and hands it over to her.

"No expectations, no...strings or anything. Stay as long as you need, and leave when you like. Just one condition." he says.

"Please don't eat all of the ginger ice cream at once? I'd like some this time." he says with a smile.

A thought crosses his mind, and his expression darkens a bit, but the look fades quickly. He's going to need to look the location of a certain assassin soon.

	She nodded. "You're right, as usual. I would." She took the key, sticking it down the front of her outfit (hey, she didn't have any pockets). "Thank you, Matt. For everything." She kissed his cheek. "And I promise, I won't eat all the ginger ice cream. Promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're welcome, Elektra. Always." he tells her, hugging her. It feels nice to have someone close after such a long time. (Reply to this)(Parent)
