AU:After helping Matt escape Midland Circle, Elektra returns battered and half dead to the few remaining members of The Hand lurking in Hell’s Kitchen. With the rest of their leaders dead or fleeing, she takes full control of the organisation and decides to turn her subjects into guardian angels, watching over Matt while he recovers at St. Agnes and as she festers in guilt in almost getting him killed.
[ID: A digital drawing with a fiery background. In the bottom right is Matt Murdock, from the torso up, in his red Netflix suit facing out of frame. He’s surrounded by a bright glow.
Behind are four figures, from the torsos up, faded into the background flames.
In the top left is young Matt holding his hands over his ears in pain.
In the bottom left is Matt with bloodied knuckles and wearing a blindfold, touching his fingers to his split lip.
In the middle is Elektra leaning her back against Matt’s chest.
In the top right is Matt in his black Netflix suit, screaming ferally.
At the Hotel Victoria, the rooms are well-appointed, the chambermaid service is quick and discreet, and the restaurant has two Michelin stars.
But there’s something strange going on within its walls, and Matt and Elektra may find themselves facing more than they bargained for. To truly put matters to rest, they’re going to need allies - but first, they’re going to have to survive the night.
“Matthew.” Elektra fills the world - every silent space in this strange building, and every cold space in his heart. “What do you know about ghosts?”
