“What do you mean?” Elektra asked. Her heart beating rapidly and her hands seemed to be shaking from hearing what Alfred just informed her.

Alfred went to the computer next to the microscope and opened a file that was protected with a password.

“Here…” He called when he unlocked the file and showed it to her. “This is what he was working on before he died. He needed my help on it, that’s how I knew.”

“I knew he was working on something…I just didn’t know what.” Elektra said while her eyes read the document on the screen.

“No one knew…this was top secret, Ela. The special force asked him to work on this and he thought he gave it a try. He just wanted to know if there were any possible way to make them stronger but he would never actually give the drug to them. He knows how the special force works.”

With all the information she taking in, she found her knees go weak, making her to take a seat. This was impossible. How come her father's drug was in the hand of Magnus?

Angela went to her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. The small gesture made her happy that she had those who care about her.

“So, what does this mean? Did someone found out about it?” She asked.

Alfred shook his head and sigh in agony. “I don’t really know…but it’s the same formula…the mixture, the same drug.”

Elektra looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would say those words that she wanted to hear since her dad went missing.

“Maybe this was the reason John was killed.” Alfred said in a soft tone.

Her face dropped and her hope died. Of course, it could never happen.

She snapped out from her thoughts when she felt a hand grabbing hers, holding it tightly. She lifted her head and saw Henry staring at her. He didn’t have to say anything because she knew.

“This changes everything.” Elektra spoke as she stood.

Everyone around her stared at her. They saw the determination in her eyes, the anger, and the rage. Standing in front of them was the Protector, the keeper of peace among the creatures. One thing Magnus needed to know about the Protector; never make her angry and when you hurt the one she loves, she will kill you.

“My father’s death will be avenged. If a war is what Magnus wants, a war he shall get.”

Elektra sighed, as she slowly descended the stairs. Today was a roller coaster of emotions for her. Finding out that Magnus was using her father’s drug didn’t make her happy at all. Her father was smart. That meant that the drug Magnus was using on his troupes was powerful and it would be very hard to stop it from functioning.

Not only that, finding out that Magnus killed her father made it even worse. She was angry and upset. The expectation she had shattered and she knew that there was no way her expectation was going to be true. The flare of rage was burning her. She had to go through all of this; losing her father, losing Daniel and her friends getting hurt, and it all because of Magnus.
