Dust & Ashes {Daredevil}

91

Zoe didn't really know Claire or Colleen that well. So she was using the blueprints of the building to lead them to where they needed to go. She wasn't really paying any attention to their conversation. She just wanted to get this all started and over with. She stopped at a door and looked back at the pair. She nodded her head to the side before going into the engine room. She immediately found what they needed. While she was setting the C4 down, Colleen and Claire joined her.

Colleen looked up and grabbed her arm, "Somebody's coming."

Zoe quickly got up and hid behind one of the pillars. She shut her eyes and closed her hands into fists. She could feel the anxiety taking over her entire body. She thought that being in front of a judge was incredibly hard but boy was she wrong.

"I will find you."

Zoe's eyes widened and she shared the same look with Claire. Both of them did not want Colleen to walk out but, of course, she didn't listen. Zoe hugged her knees to her chest and tried to block out the sound of their voices. She jumped when she suddenly heard Claire's cell phone going off. She covered her mouth and sunk her head down a bit. She glanced behind her at the sound of metal clashing to see Colleen and the guy had started to fight. She quickly crawled over to where Claire was. Who happened to be on the phone with Detective Knight.

"Can't she not call?"

"Sh-" Claire shushed Zoe as she told Detective Knight that she needed to clear the block. Zoe got up from her spoke and poked around to find where Colleen was. She got up and slowly ducked around as Claire continued to set up the bomb.

Zoe stopped as a couple of people walked into the room. She quickly grabbed a wrench as one came after her. She jumped in shock and ducked as he tried to grab her. She slammed the wrench into his knee. She released a cry of pain as he slammed her into one of the pillars. She gasped loudly and was lifted off the ground. With her feet dangling in the air, she kicked him as hard as she could in the balls. When he doubled over from the pain, Zoe grabbed the wrench again and hit him in the face. She then caught sight of a knife on the other guy.

Colleen ran around the corner and threw a knife into his chest before he could get to Zoe. But Bakuto sliced into her back with his sword, "Colleen!"

Detective Knight came in and shot the man as he got back up. "What the hell did I just walk into?"

Claire rushed over and sighed out, "I ask myself that all the time."

Knight aimed her weapon at Bakuto, "Drop it or I'm dropping you."

Rhea wasn't sure how long she had been fighting. She turned around and looked directly at Elektra as she and more of the Hand blocked the way to the elevator.

"Where's Alexandra?"

"She's dead."

Jessica looked at Danny, "Did you kill her?"
