"Blackmail."

I think I'm writing Elektra as rather sweary, but there's a reason. Also, she's not a big one for dialog, is she?

The girl might've survived, maybe...

There's maybe some in-universe inspiration for this one: way back in Amazing Spider-Man #69, I think the Kingpin gets nicked in a surprisingly hands-on robbery of an ancient tablet. That was pretty much the last time he exposed himself to the law for years, but it might have seemed out-of-character for him even then. Sometimes, even the most lead-from-the-rear baddie might see a brass ring that they have to make a grab for...
