Who: Matthew Murdock and Elektra Natchios
Where: The Hotel
When: 4/23 right after this
What: Matt needs to talk to Elektra face to face
Status: In progress.
Warnings: TBD
Elektra had always been good at pushing his buttons, right from the start. And he supposed that had been the point after all when their meeting had been orchestrated. It had been so easy to get caught up in her too, to let himself let go a little bit more, to not be quite so controlled, so ruled by some sort of code. And in the end it had left him with nothing but hurt and a broken heart. And then she'd come back into his life, and falling into old habits had been almost unavoidable, but this time Matt wasn't going to run from it, or from her. He'd thought they would get away together, they'd leave all this behind and do something else, anything else as long as they weren't caught up in Stick's ridiculous war. And that had been stolen from him too.
Now he was here though, and Elektra was here despite how impossible that seemed. She was here and she was pushing his buttons again and Matt couldn't talk to her through a screen, he needed to be with her, to hear her say that and to know whether or not it was another taunt again or if it was something else. He couldn't think that it was true, she'd tried to kill him once yes, but he'd stopped her - they were leaving. And now this? Matt didn't know what to think and this was something he needed an answer too.
He'd taken pains in the days since he arrived to maintain the ruse of his blindness to touch and feel his way around rooms and the hallways, but when Elektra told him her room number he didn't bother he moved with purpose to her. His knock was maybe harsher than he'd have done normally, "Elektra," He called her name through the door.
