Ambush at Elektra Natchios' Penthouse

"I stirred the pot a little on the business side. And when I did, who came knocking on my door but the Yakuza. Their mistake, because now, they're after us."

- Elektra to Matt Murdock

The Ambush at Elektra Natchios' Penthouse was an unsuccessfull attempt by Hand assassins to track down and kill Elektra Natchios.

Background
"Someone's coming. The elevator's moving. There's a silencer in the lobby. Who is it, Elektra?" "If I had to guess, Yakuza." "No. No, that's impossible. I took care of the Yakuza." "Clearly, you didn't."

- Matt Murdock and Elektra

As Matt Murdock returned his apartment, he found Elektra. She explained her father's old investment in the Roxxon Oil Corporation and asked Murdock for his legal help and offered to give him money. Murdock refused, however, and told her to leave his apartment. The next day, Elektra arrived to the Yakatomi Building at the meeting with Roxxon. Upon arriving at the meeting, she met by Hirochi who introduced her to Stan Gibson, who would have the answers she was looking for regarding her father's money. During the meeting, Elektra hacked into Asano Robotics' servers located at the building to extract information.

Later in the evening, Murdock went to Elektra's penthouse. Then, he heard someone's footsteps, Elektra stated that it was the Yakuza as she went into another room and changed clothes. Murdock realized that she tricked him into fighting with her, telling her that she didn't know him. In response she opened a bag which contained his Daredevil's Suit inside. Elektra then pulled up her cowl, getting ready to fight.

Ambush
"The hacker is on the ninth floor. Move quickly. Quietly. When we are done, we bring the boss all ten fingers."

- The Hand Assasin

The Hand assassins arrived to penthouse to find person who hacked into servers. As they entered the building, Daredevil used the element of surprise that they had been granted and jumped down and attacked a man with Elektra following and hitting the second man, knocking him out. Elektra and Daredevil fought the assaliants side by side as they soon overpowered a member each and then Elektra fought the only member alone. As Elektra quickly got the hostile on the floor, another member attacked her until she got up, but Elektra quickly knocked her out and kicked another member, bringing him to the ground and breaking his arm, making his scream. With the numbers of the enemies now greatly depleted by Elektra and Daredevil's combined strength, the final member charged at Elektra, however Daredevil knocked him to the ground with one single solid punch and Elektra landed the last kick on the man she had brought down, leaving all their attackers lying beaten and unconscious on the ground around them.

Aftermath
"You fight better than anyone I know. But I have information. I gained access to Roxxon's servers right in front of their little criminal faces. We do it together, we take them down fast and hard. The second it's done, I'm out of your city."

- Elektra to Matt Murdock

The next morning, Murdock and Elektra discussed their situation with Roxxon and Yakuza and Murdock agreed to working with her, as long as she left once they had completed their task.
