Electra rise of hunger

Growning quickly and new joiners

As the night progresses, Electra and Emma continue their rounds in the club, mingling with guests and basking in the success of their growing empire. Suddenly, a commotion near the entrance catches their attention. They exchange glances, both sensing that something unusual is happening.

"Let's check it out," Electra says, her curiosity piqued. Emma nods, and they make their way downstairs, navigating through the crowd with ease.

At the entrance, a group of people is causing a disturbance, trying to push their way past the bouncers. The burly men are doing their best to hold them back, but the newcomers seem determined. Electra and Emma approach, and the bouncers quickly make way for them, their presence alone commanding respect.

"What's going on here?" Electra demands, her voice cutting through the noise.

One of the bouncers steps forward, a hint of frustration in his eyes. "These people are insisting on seeing you, Electra. They won't say why, but they're not taking no for an answer."

Electra's eyes narrow as she studies the group. They are a mix of men and women, all with a determined, almost desperate look about them. She steps closer, her imposing presence making them momentarily falter.

"You wanted to see me?" she asks, her tone icy.

One of the men, slightly older with graying hair and a stern expression, steps forward as the apparent leader. "Yes, we need to speak with you. It's urgent."

Electra raises an eyebrow, intrigued by their persistence. "And who are you?"

The man takes a deep breath. "My name is Daniel. We represent a group of people who have been affected by the recent changes in the city. We need your help."

Electra tilts her head slightly, her interest piqued. "My help? And why would I help you?"

Daniel meets her gaze, unflinching. "Because you have the power to make a difference. We know about your... capabilities. We've heard the rumors. You control things in this city that others can't even fathom."

Emma steps closer, her eyes narrowing. "What exactly do you want from Electra?"

Daniel looks around at his companions before speaking again. "We need protection. The Vigilante Alliance isn't what it seems. They're corrupt, only looking out for themselves. We've lost everything because of them, and we have nowhere else to turn."

Electra considers his words, her mind racing with possibilities. The Vigilante Alliance has always been a thorn in her side, and any opportunity to undermine them is tempting.

"And what makes you think I care about your plight?" Electra asks, her voice cold.

Daniel takes another step forward, desperation clear in his eyes. "Because we know you're different. You're not like them. You have power, real power, and you're not afraid to use it. We can be useful to you. Just give us a chance."

Electra glances at Emma, who gives a slight nod. The idea of having more people indebted to her is appealing. She turns back to Daniel, her decision made.

"Very well," she says, her voice carrying an edge of finality. "You will be under my protection. But know this: you will owe me, and I will collect when the time comes."

Daniel exhales in relief, his companions echoing his sentiment. "Thank you, Electra. We won't let you down."

Electra nods, a calculating smile on her lips. "I know you won't. Now, go to the back and speak with Vincent. He will get you settled and explain the terms of your protection."

As the group follows the bouncer to the back, Electra turns to Emma. "This could be useful. More people under our influence means more power for us."

Emma nods, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. "Absolutely. And it gives us more leverage against the Vigilante Alliance."
