[It was front page news. Technology heiress murdered in her penthouse. Except anyone who actually knew Elektra, knew what she was capable of, would recognize the smell of bullshit without even needing to smell it.
Elektra Natchios isn't a victim of a home invasion. Not with no evidence. Not with no body. But Jessica Jones doesn't get a say in those cases, and when she tries to pull any police contact she has, she gets a visit from the Devil of Hell's Kitchen telling her to back off, in no uncertain terms. She kicked him out of her apartment - her way of telling him in no uncertain terms that he could go fuck himself.
She should have thrown him out the window, but she was feeling nice that day.
Months later, she's in a room with Daredevil (Matt, apparently), Luke (awkward), and some asshat named Danny Rand, while an even bigger asshat named Stick tell her that Elektra's alive, been brainwashed by something called "the Hand" and they needed to kill her to save the world.
Fuck that.
Jessica doesn't think she can get Matt on her side. The way he talks about her, she isn't sure if he loved her or if he just was obsessed with her, and she didn't have time for that shit. Danny wasn't invested, and honestly, she didn't really need him. Luke, though, Luke knows her, even if he doesn't like her right now. He knows her history with brainwashing and being controlled. So when she comes to him, asking him for help in a way she knows she has no right to do, he agrees. In a lot of ways, they're still the only ones who understand the world they were forced into.
She knows she owes him for this in more ways than she'll ever be able to pay back.
Between the two of them and their powers, along with some (reluctant, as always) help from Claire Temple, they place an unconscious Elektra into Trish's panic room and wait her out. She doesn't know how this brainwashing worked our how deep it goes, but that doesn't matter.
She's getting her friend back. She doesn't really see there as being any other choice.]
lemme know if you need me to change anything
