misc sentence starters: @thekingpinofnewyork asked “ can i help you? ” (Fisk)
She should have run. The moment Matthew told her Fisk knew everything, Elektra should have left New York the way she’d planned to a thousand years ago when the Hand first told her what she was. She wasn’t sure why she didn’t. Castle and Karen knew that Fisk knew their secret. Matthew still wanted little to do with her, and she couldn’t blame him for that. And her plan to spy on Fisk from the inside was clearly a failure, even if he hadn’t let her know it yet. Elektra had no reason to stay in New York, and yet she hadn’t left. She hadn’t run. She wasn’t sure if that was incredibly loyal or incredibly stupid of her. Perhaps there wasn’t a difference.
Standing in front of Fisk now, trying to pretend she wasn’t in mortal danger due to his presence alone, that probably fell more on the stupid side of the line, but she didn’t let the apprehension show on her face. She crossed the floor of the office, taking the bottle of scotch from its place on the shelf and pouring herself a glass. She’d assumed he’d be gone when she arrived, hoped to find one last shred of something she could use as leverage to keep herself alive. Finding the man himself instead was an unfortunate oversight, one that might get her killed. “I thought I was the one who was meant to be helping you. That’s why you requested my services, wasn’t it? I’ve been feeling a little underused as of late. I suppose you could consider this a resignation.”
