[ In another life, maybe it would be a quest in a different way. The kind where they just work together to save it's soul on the side of the law that doesn't require masks and fists. It's a nice fiction.
They survived without Melvin's handiwork for a long time. They couldn't risk two suits. It had more of a probability of someone figuring it out. More than anyone who has already. They can only risk so much.
Both Mike and Elektra can hold their own. She ends up getting closer to Matt before Mike can, only to be batted away by Nobu as if it were nothing. He can hear his brother losing ground by the moment, and desperation forces his hand. He's not thinking about anything but protecting his brother, not the sai that Elektra lost when she hit the roof, and maybe that's the part that costs him.
His breath leaves him in a rush, forced out of his lungs by the blade of the sai, and for the first time in years his focus narrows to just a singular sensation. Funny enough, it isn't the sai. It's Matt's arms catching him when he doesn't realize he's started to crumple.
Elektra doesn't hesitate when Nobu does, since that was not his original target, and she pushes the advantage to fight him back long enough to join Matthew.]
