Chapter 11.

[???, Athens, Greece]

Inside of a dimly lit room a familiar face, Vasileios, stood on one knee, sweating in anxiousness.

"So, have you found her?" A deep voice echoed from the back of the room. The voice belonged to a black silhouette with a single glowing, golden eye. The silhouette was sitting down at a desk and patiently waited for Vasileios's reply.

"Yes, my lord. She is currently living in Manhattan with her close friend," Vasileios said respectfully and the black silhouette began to laugh, "I love this part of the hunt. She has always found a way to evade me but not this time..."

The black silhouette's words confused Vasileios a great deal but he didn't dare to ask any questions. Vasileios then felt the black silhouette's gaze upon him and began shaking in fear, "I want you to find her and bring her to me, at all cost. Do not disappoint me like before...or there will be consequences."

"Yes, my lord!" Vasileios shouted as he stood up and exited the room. Meanwhile, the black silhouette clenched his fist in anger and ended up incinerating his desk with blue flames, "Medea...you won't escape me this time...I'll have that Crown even if it means destroying everything I've built...I will become King again..."

[Manhattan, New York City, New York]

On the rooftop of a random building, Medea sat on the edge and looked down at the city, "This city is so beautiful...yet so ugly at the same time," Medea saw three thugs begin to harass a woman in an alley.

"C'mon girl, let us show you a fun night in NYC!" Thug no.1 shouted as he put his hand on the woman's shoulder, "N-No, I'm fine, thank you." The woman tried to leave but the thugs blocked her way.

"It's rude to turn down an offer especially when someone is being nice about it," Thug no.2 said as he pushed her up against the wall. The thugs then brought out switchblades, making the woman shake in fear.

"Now we tried to be nice, but it seems like you need a bit of a push," Thug no.3 said as he put his blade against the woman's neck. Medea was tired of this shitty show, so she jumped down from her ledge and landed near the thugs.

The thugs, reacting to their reflexes, immediately turned their blades toward Medea. Once they saw that Medea was just a teenage girl, they began to laugh.

"I swear, these superheroes have too much influence on the youth these days," Thug no.1 facepalmed and began speaking to Medea, "You see, I'm not into little girls, so why don't you go home and act like you never saw this okay?"

Medea didn't reply and summoned a katana with runic engravings along the blade, "No, no, I don't think I will," Medea's speed was far beyond what the thugs could perceive, as she had the woman in her arms and the switchblades in her pocket.

"Take this as a warning, don't try this again, okay?" Medea smiled as she vanished from the thugs' vision in a blur.

"W-Who the hell was that?!" Thug no.1 shouted in fear and the thugs soon heard the sounds of shoe heels stepping against the floor.

"Hello there boys." A blonde-haired man with a Greek accent waved as he played with a lighter. The thugs were shocked at his sudden appearance and Thug no.3 fell on his ass.

"I have a job for you three. It's a simple job that is worth a lot of money, are you up for it?" The thugs looked at each other and nodded, Vasileios smiled as he closed his lighter, "Good..."

[With Medea]

"Are you sure you'll be alright?" Medea asked the woman who nodded, "Yeah, I'll be fine, I just can't believe that happened to me right after work..."

Medea, bored and not wanting to go home, decided to spark up a conversation with the red-headed woman, "Oh really? Where do you work? If you don't mind me asking of course."

"Oh no, it's fine," The woman said with a laugh, "Believe it or not, but, I work for Tony Stark, personally." Medea's eyes widened a bit and she decided to get a good look at the woman again. The woman in question had long, curly, brown hair, brown eyes, fair skin, and a fit body, bordering athletic.

"That's so cool! Do you help him build his suits or something?" Medea eagerly asked and the woman laughed, "No, I'm his assistant."

Medea was going to ask another question but her phone began to ring, knowing it was Elektra, she quickly stood up, "I uh, have to go, Ms?"

"Rushman, Natalie Rushman," Natalie said and Medea smiled, "Medea." Medea then left and Natalie dialed a number on her phone, "Yeah, I made contact. Although she's young, I think she'll be a great addition to the initiative."

[Medea and Elektra's apartment]

Medea entered her apartment through a window in the living room and Elektra was watching TV on the couch, "There you are!" Elektra smiled as she hugged Medea.

"Ele, why did you call me? You almost ruined my chances with a very beautiful woman who works for Tony Stark!" Medea pouted and Elektra laughed, "I called you because it's incredibly important." Elektra turned serious.

"What is this about?" Medea asked and Elektra beckoned her to follow her, Medea complied and they entered a dark dining room. Elektra turned on the lights and confetti was shot into the air.

"Surprise!" Elektra said by herself. Medea was a little confused as her birthday had already passed, "Surprise?"

"Yeah! This day, five years ago is when you, Medea, and I, Elektra, met!" Elektra said with a bright smile and Medea was shocked.

"Has it really been that long?" Medea asked as she began rubbing her necklace, Elektra smiled as she held her necklace as well, "Sisters," They put their heart pieces together, "Always."

Elektra then when into the kitchen to get a knife to slice the cake and Medea felt her entire body shake, Medea's eyes widened as she rushed into the kitchen, "ELE GET D-" Medea's words were cut off by a huge explosion in their apartment.
