02 :: she leads you up, points out skylines and stars

[likethetragedy]

[You are on a roof with a perfect view of New York City all around it. Standing there taking it in is a woman in a silk red dress and matching heels. She doesn't acknowledge you. In fact if you did not know any better you would say she had no idea you were. So expect a surprise when she suddenly addresses you without moving whatsoever.]

I can't

Done with what?

[Candy's sitting at the edge of the roof, her back to the edge and her feet on the ground as she watches Elektra. The Elektra she barely knows anymore...]

And what's with the dress?

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra tilts her head just enough to glance at Candy. She's frowning.]

... Nothing. I enjoy wearing red. [She certainly isn't going to tell Candy she had expected trouble and wanted to look the part of the deadly assassin if it came.]

[abaratian_soul]

That's one question down. [She sees that evasion Elektra and she doesn't like it! She wouldn't evade the question unless it was something important...] What are you doing?

[likethetragedy]

[She's quiet for another minute. Elektra isn't sure how long she has until they come if they come and Candy never gives up. She settles for a tame version of the truth.]

Some people have been trying to find me. I am making myself easy to find.

[abaratian_soul]

[She doesn't give up. And she doesn't like the sound of that either. She sits up a little straighter now, watching her carefully.]

For who to find you? What'll they do when they find you?

[likethetragedy]

Just some people. You don't know them. [Elektra sighs softly.] That isn't important.

[abaratian_soul]

Tell me how that's not important? [Because with how mysterious you're acting and dangerous you look it seems like something pretty important to her.]

[likethetragedy]

They won't be able to accomplish their goal. [She says coldly before adding back in that same soft monotone.]

There's no sense in worrying you.

[abaratian_soul]

[........ Sigh. She rests her head on her hand.] I can handle the truth, you know.

[likethetragedy]

That doesn't mea- [Elektra stop mid word, suddenly staring blankly ahead.]

[abaratian_soul]

[Candy follows Elektra's gaze, but... she's not sure what she's looking at.] Elektra?

[likethetragedy]

[Elektra snaps out of it a second later, turning on her heel, and walking as quickly as she can away from Candy.]

Time's up.

[abaratian_soul]

Hey wait! [Candy's not letting you shake her off that easily. No, she jumps up and follows after her.] Elektra, what's going on?

[likethetragedy]

I didn't know you were coming. [The way she says it like she should have known somehow.] I can't have you here if something happens.

[abaratian_soul]

[Of course she should have known. Like Candy would let her go off into the unknown alone.] I'm not as helpless as I was before.

[likethetragedy]

This isn't the time to put that to the test. [She stops just short of the door. What was the code Matt used again to open it?]
