𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐈𝐗𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐍 - the revenge

━━━━━━━

𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐀 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍'𝐓 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 how the hell they were all going to get out, if they could, that is. Elektra stood tall despite the wound Olivia had inflicted upon her when the woman had captured Danny. She radiated power, staring each of them down like a hawk ready to swoop down for their prey. But Olivia was a wolf, she was the predator and sure as hell wasn't going to let little Miss Swords get the best of her again.

"They're going to destroy the city." Danny spoke through labored breaths, his chest heaving from the previous fight.

Luke scoffed. "Now tell me something I don't know."

"Once they get what they want, this place is gonna crumble."

"Where's Alexandra?" Matt questioned as he shifted on his feet, still in a fighting stance.

"She's dead."

Some good news at least, Olivia thought as she turned her head towards the Iron Fist. "Did you kill her?"

Danny shook his head before his gaze landed upon Elektra who slowly stalked towards them, her face devoid of any emotion. "No. She did."

Olivia cocked her head; her claws were ready and waiting for the inevitable fight to come, her eyes bore directly into Elektra's as the woman's lips twitched at the sight of the wolf. She was either surprised or happy that the wolf was alive, though Olivia was certain it was the former.

To make the situation even better, behind Elektra and the old women was another large group of people ready and waiting to kill them.

"Is the elevator the only way out of here?" Jessica directed towards both Olivia and Matt.

"Yep." Matt muttered with a sigh.

Danny frowned, his voice lowering to a mumble. "We can't leave. We have to end them."

"We have a plan." Olivia spoke, her eyebrows furrowing as she broke the news to Danny. "Well actually, we have a bomb."

"Seriously?"

Olivia hummed before her attention turned to the devil beside her as he tried to rally his small, pessimistic and very tired team. "The only way out of here is together."

The wolf grit her teeth as the old woman stepped forward, in front of Elektra. With a small smirk, she cocked her head. "Hey, Karate Kid? Light it up, will you?"

"My pleasure." Within a second Danny summoned his 'Chi' and his fist began to glow a vibrant yellow, with a hardened expression, he brought his fist into the air and threw it forward just as the old woman did the same.

Clearly Danny was much stronger; the force of his punch sent the woman, Elektra and everyone else that stood with them, backwards and onto the cold ground.

Olivia's mouth twitched at the sight and she lurched forward, grabbing the first opponent that had found their feet and swiftly slammed them with a heavy uppercut. The man was sent into the air, his head colliding with the ceiling of the cave before he fell back to the ground unmoving.

Her allies followed her lead; Jessica stormed forward, fists smacking into every opponent that came close. Luke held his own, his impenetrable body protecting him from hits before he countered back, knocking men down with single punches. Danny and his ever-glowing fist pummeled anyone who stood in his path and Matt became a blur of twists, jumps and kicks that any gymnastic would be jealous of.

At one point, six men had surrounded Danny, attempting to overpower him, but before any of them could land a hit Olivia and Matt jumped in. Olivia kicked the back of one of the man's legs, sending him to his knees before slamming her elbow into the side of his face causing him to slump forwards. She grabbed another by the front of his shirt and slammed her head into his. As she looked up with a sniff there were only two left and Danny was already busy taking care of them

Olivia, Matt and Danny quickly rushed towards the men who had begun to fire bullets towards Jessica and Luke, knocking them out in mere seconds. The wolf smirked as she saw Luke's body on top of Jess's as he used his body to shield her. "Not the time, you two!"

The two chuckled from their places on the ground before Elektra came up behind Luke and wrapped a cord around the man's neck and tugged as hard as she could.

The three quickly jumped into action and began their assault on the resurrected woman. Olivia frowned as the DeJa'Vu hit her --as well as Elektra's fist-- she was fast, dodging their punches and kicks whilst dishing out her own.

Jessica, Luke and Danny were sent to the ground and Matt paused for a moment as a sound caught his ear and before Elektra could take the opportunity to strike, Olivia grabbed one of her arms. The wolf's claws dug deep and pierced the skin as blood trickled to the ground. Elektra let out a yell of pain as she twisted and used her other arm to swing but the claws only ripped further.

Olivia managed to quickly retract her blood coated claws and duck from the punch. As she jumped back to her feet she grabbed Elektra's arm and threw her across the cavern. The woman crashed into a wall, blood and dirt mixed together on the ground beneath her as the puncture wounds continued to throb.

The Hale turned and quickly helped Jessica to her feet as Matt assisted Danny, the poor boy groaning as he lifted a hand to the pulsating bruise Olivia had given him before he was taken. Her eyes glanced over Luke as he pushed himself up and joined the quartet before they quickly diverted over to the old woman who slowly sunk into the shadows.

"You guys need to get to the surface," Matt spoke, causing Olivia to frown. Whilst she was sure Jess, Danny and Luke would have no quarrels with finally leaving the literal 'hell-hole', Olivia needed to stay. She needed to face that woman and more importantly, she promised Foggy and Karen that she would bring Matthew home safe. She wasn't going to let them down.

Danny panted, still rubbing the pulsating bump on his head. "What about you?"

"No, I'm gonna meet you up there."

Jessica spun around, halting her steps towards the elevator. "What?"

"I know I can get through to her."

Olivia sighed, her feet shifting beneath her. God, he wasn't making her job easy for her, was he? Though she saw where he was coming from, she and Derek had never given up on Peter, no matter what he did... so who was she to judge?

The wolf could feel Jessicas scrutinizing gaze on her, wondering why she hadn't spoken or why her feet where firmly planted in the ground. The P.I's gaze moved back to Matt, "We're not leaving you here."

"You made a promise to get him back. You better keep your word."

Luke and Danny shared a look, the pair agreeing to return to the surface whilst Jessica stared at Olivia, her shoulders slumping in realization. "You wanna stay here too? Why? For that woman who killed those kids?"

Olivia swallowed harshly, her jaw tense as she moved her gaze from the scuffed and dusty boots adorning her feet to the eyes of her roommate; they were laced with anger, but just beneath the surface- A place very few bothered to look when it came to Jessica Jones- hurt bubbles and tangled with the anger. She was a damn good private investigator, but Olivia could see through her.

"It's- it's not that simple Jess."

"Why isn't it?"

"They were children. Just barely over sixteen and they died, because of her. I need to- I need to know why."

"No, you don't." The room was tense, droplets of water fell from the cavern's ceiling and splashed into small puddles beneath them, each swirling with the women's reflections. "You want to. You want to put yourself in danger for people who are already-" her words cut off, "Liv... please."

The Hale sighed harshly; of all people, Jessica should understand her. She knew the P.I wouldn't rest until she knew everything.

"Liv, you should go," Matt spoke, softly, his voice barely heard by anyone other than the wolf. "You don't need-"

"Stop it. Both of you, don't you dare tell me what I need." Her breaths were ragged and heavy, silencing the devil before more words could leave his pouted lips. The others stared on, unnerved and surprised by her outburst. "I need answers... and I need to keep a promise, I can't do that if I'm up there. I'm staying, period."

Her final words echoed for a moment before Jessica's tight jaw flew open, her words were loud and urgent. "You aren't just a friend Liv! You- You're family." The P.I sighed before a small smile ghosted at her lips. "So you better met me up there. You're so willing to give out promises? Promise me you'll get out, okay. Promise me."

Olivia's form loosened as a small, fond smirk lifted the sides of her mouth. "You could never get rid of me. Now go. Get wonder fist out of here."

"It's- it's Iron Fist." Danny sulked, causing a small chuckle to fall from everyone's lips as they made their way towards the elevator.

The wolf turned her gaze to Danny, a soft smile gracing her lips. "I know."

Before Danny could move too far, Matt reached out and grasped his arm before leaning close and whispering a few words in the boy's ear, words that made Olivia sigh. "Protect my city."

He pulled back and clapped the boy on the shoulder, his words loud enough for Jessica and Luke to hear. "We're right behind you. Go."

Danny swallowed, his eyes drifting between the devil and the wolf, uncertain that he would see them again. He gave a quick nod before jogging to join the two in the elevator.

"Remember your promise, Hale!" Jessica called out as anxiety doused her body. She trusted her friend, trusted Olivia's word. But even the big bad wolf couldn't survive getting caught in an explosion, couldn't survive an entire building crushing their body, could she?

"Love you too, Jones!" The wolf yelled, her smile slowly dissolving as she watched the elevator doors close. The two weren't ones to run around professing their friendship towards one another, but Olivia wasn't stupid, and by the look of apprehension and the glint of fear in the P.I's eyes, Jessica was having the thoughts; Olivia might not make it back.

"Why'd you stay?" Matt spoke, his voice just above a whisper as he stepped next to the wolf. "You know we might not make it out."

Her eyes flicking over to Elektra's form as the woman began to shake the rubble from her body and stand on weakened legs. "Well, better chance with the both of us?" The Hale sighed. "Like I said; I made a promise too."

"Let me take her." He nodded to his ex. "You wanted the other woman? What are you gonna do? Kill her?"

"I- I don't know, Matt. She is the reason two kids are dead, the reason why another got possessed by a spirit that nearly tore apart an entire town. I wanna find out why, but..."

Matt exhaled; his dark eyes locked onto her despite not seeing her. Was he really about to say this to a wolf who had admitted that she had a temper? "Do what you have to do."

Olivia nodded once, swallowing the lump in her throat as she did. "When Elektra and I fought, I caught her side with my claws, you have a weak spot." She allowed a small, shaky smirk to adorn her lips. "Try not to get your ass handed to you."

Matt breathed a laugh before his voice dropped to become more serious. "You too."

She sucked in a breath and took off, sprinting to the area she had last seen the woman. And much to her good fortune, there she was; standing and waiting, as if knowing she would follow. Her face was relaxed and her hands rested on her cane in front of her; God Olivia wanted to smack her with it.

"Olivia Hale." The woman drawled out on a condescending tone, one that made Olivia scowl. "The she-wolf of Beacon Hills. Derek Hale's younger sister, ah, but not the youngest-"

"Don't you dare speak of Cora."

"Another dead Hale. Such a shame. Your family was once so powerful."

Olivia shook her head as the memories of everything she, Derek and Peter had accomplished infiltrated her mind. "We still are. There may only be a few of us left, but let me tell you; I fight for them."

"You'll die for them."

"As long as you die with me." The wolf's claws began to form as her breathing deepened. "As long as you die for what you did! For what you released!"

"It was necessary."

"No, it wasn't." The words slipped through her clenched teeth in a low growl. Her hands were shaking and her eyes were illuminated. "It's time for you to pay for the things you've done. Playing a part in turning Elektra into whatever the hell she is, taking Danny from us, terrorizing the city. And those kids." Her voice dropped as she swallowed the lump in her throat. "You'll pay for what happened to them. I know that I might die here, but I sure as hell will not allow you to leave."

Olivia's nostrils flared, huffs of air flowing through them as her heart rate increased. She could hear Matt trying his best to get through to Elektra, but by the sounds of it, his ass was getting handed to him and therefore she needed to get rid of poor excuse of a human in front of her.

The old woman cocked her head and dropped her cane to the ground as she brought back her hand in a swift movement. Olivia, having been tired of being in both her and Danny's crossfire, dropped to the ground and rolled out of the way, the shockwave flew past her, missing her body by just a hair.

The two exchanged swift and strong punches, a few landing here and there; they were both skilled fighters. The older woman resorted back to her original plan and brought her hand back.

Once again, Olivia crouched just in time, the wave of energy ruffling her already messy hair as it shot past.

The wolf jumped back to her feet, blue eyes glowing in the dim cavern, and charged forward. She pressed off of the ground with force, taking a page from Matt's book and flipped in the air and landed behind the woman in a crouch. From her position, she spun and slashed at the back of the woman's legs.

The old woman let out a yell as blood seeped out of the gashes on her legs and threw a hand backward. The shockwave smacked into Olivia and hurtled her at one of the cavern walls, rocks and debris covering her frame as she landed on the ground.

With a cough to clear her lungs, she heaved herself up and grasped a large rock that rested just by her feet, immediately launching it towards her opponent who yet again, pushed out a shockwave, splitting the rock.

Though Olivia knew her tricks by now and had sent another rock soaring through the air just seconds after the first, this one hit the women's shoulder; she was a mess, blood trailing down her legs and pooling beneath her long skirt, her face littered with small cuts and her shoulder slumped.

Olivia grinned; there was no way the woman would be able to lift her arm fast enough to conjure another annoying wave of energy. For a moment Olivia actually debated what she would do; she had been lusting for the woman's blood, craving to take her life and avenge those who had died. But would they want that?

What would Matt think? What would Jessica say? What of Derek? Would her brother shake his head in disappointment? Should she stain her hands even more?

The woman crumbled. She was panting and bleeding; clutching at her damaged shoulder as she slowly sunk to the ground, her legs no longer strong enough to support her.

Olivia heaved as she caught her breath and slowly made her way over to the woman and kneeled on one leg. "I'm not going to kill you."

"You are weak."

"No. See I'm not going to kill you because I'm gonna leave you here to bleed out, I'm going to let the building fall down on you and crush you." Olivia growled. Her voice reminded herself of her uncle; it was malicious. "You will lay here, alive, until either your body gives up on you, or the building decides to take you with it. Either way, I sincerely hope you feel every drop of blood that falls from you, I hope you feel every single rock and stone that tears away at you. I hope you feel what those kids felt."

Olivia heaved a breath as she calmed her rapidly beating heart, her face fell slack as she stared the woman in the eyes. "When you see their faces you can apologize, or, just maybe, their ghosts will tear you apart from the inside out. Just like the guilt, the shame and the failure has done to me..." She paused, a dark grin curling at her lips, though perhaps it was more of a snarl, "See you in hell."

And with that, she pushed the woman to the ground and walked away. Not a single glance being spared backward and for once, not a single shred of guilt plagued her mind.
