Again the sweet somber sound the Jewelry Box played. Was like a sweet melanated tone to James's ears

As the Tiny Ballerina continued to turn the music continued to play calming James both mentally and Physically

He needed it right now because ever since he went to Russia he'a learned more about his Russian heritage. Granted he's learned more than he needed to but it did give more mean to the red hourglass necklace he whore across his neck

"Hey Jarvis read me the stats on this thing"

"Cetinally Mr Rogers, your Baton's are working at a minimum of 40% with a 60 % chance of-"

Immediately James winced in pain as the electric Baton's sparked shocking him

"AH !"

"Correction your Baton's are working at a minimum of 35% with a 65 % chance of them failing"

"Yes thank you Jarvis" James said as he held his injure

Biting down on his hand James groaned before leaning back in his chair

His blue eyes gazed at the ceiling in wonder before he turned to see the picture that sat on his desk

The picture of his parents on their wedding day

They looked so happy. And it always made James smile when he looked at their happy expressions. Seeing his Father carry his mother down the aisle was something he wished he saw in real life

Sadly he didn't have that type of luxury

The song on the Jewelry Box ended which caught James's attention

Seeing the Ballerina stuck in her pose didn't feel right so he just stuck his hand out again to wind the box up playing the sweet somber song before getting back to work on his Baton's

The sound of clanking metal filled the room as Elena's body dripped with sweat

More and more Elena continued to pound the metal pole with the Billy Clubs just aiming for the right movements and rotation

Every time it felt out of momentum or out of movement as with every swing and follow up something felt wrong

If she swung and turned her next hit wouldn't be as strong as the one before

If she turned to a kick and followed through with a swing with the clubs it wouldn't be as strong

Her failures only added to her anger as once again when she failed with the billy clubs she came to a halt and groaned angrily

She continued to grip the metal weapons tighter. Her palms rested heavily as she's been going at it for the past 3 hours

Her bruises were showing as she was no doubt pushing herself to the limit

It wasn't until she looked down and focused her senses on the feeling of the weapons that she grew an idea. Maybe it wasn't a good idea but it sure as hell was an idea

backing up slowly from the training pole Elena held a single Billy club out pointing directly at the wall across from her.

Taking a deep breathe Elena closed her eyes soaking in all her senses and sounds around her

For years she's been trying to master her echolocation but to no prevail as all she saw was nothing but pitch black

Elena's eyes snapped open and right there and then she threw the Billy club watching as it ricochet off the wall back towards her

But when Elena reached her hand back out to grab it she found herself going to early as the metal weapon flew right past her arm hitting her right in the face making her immediately wince in pain as she dropped to the floor right when the weapon hit the floor with a clang

"AHH ! DAMMIT !"

Frank had rushed into the Gym quickly surveying the room before kneeling down to Elena's side helping her up

"What happened ! Are you ok !"

Frank saw as she sported a bleeding cut on her cheek and a very pissed off look on her face before looking down to see Matt's Billy Club laying on the ground

Frank just sighed as he bent down to pick the weapon up

"Red what did I tell you-"

"I AM READY FRANK !" Elena persisted as she yanked the weapon from his hand

"I'VE BEEN READY SINCE I WAS 6 ! ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN READY ! BUT YOU PROBLEM IS YOU ! YOU'RE NOT READY TO TELL ME WHY YOU DON'T WANT ME TO FULLY EXCEPT WHO I AM !"

Frank just stood there, watching as she was full of anger and hate. She reminded him of himself making him sadly sigh as he placed his arm on her shoulder

"El-"

"NO ! DON'T TOUCH ME ! JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME !" she shouted in anger before storming past Frank and entering her room

When the door slammed Frank just sighed

"Matt, Elektra. What am I gonna do with her"

Fisk was more pissed than ever

Again and again his stashes were failing. His marketing was plummeting and he had no clue on what to do

Not one bit

"Mr Fisk" a voice spoke as a door opened revealing the light from the hallway outside

"Yes Doctor"

"It's your Father, he wants to talk"

Richard practically felt his heart drop as he went wide eyed

"...right....he....here I come sorry"

Getting to his feet his legs shook and wobbled as his throat started to feel dry. He had no clue what to do or say. How would his father even react to what he's done

All he could do was walk out of the office and face the inevitable for whatever he has coming next
