"So...Elena really is her own person? I know i've seen Alexis using her powers before. What is going on here?" he mumbled, sitting down on the edge of the bed. He lowered his head into his hands and tried to think of a reason for Alexis losing her powers.
"Oh, I found Elektra's address while you were busy fighting a werewolf. That's the red head by the way. I figure i'll go there and shoot them both. Is that a good idea? Probably not," he sighed. "So, are you going to need help finishing Alexis this time?" he smirked.

"I think first we need to get whoever that girl is in the basement out and to safety. If that really is Elena and Alexis doesn't have any powers then she's going to be trying some major mojo to steal those powers and she won't care if it kills Elena. That girl looked like someone spent a while beating her up, making sure she couldn't move. She has to be in a lot of pain."
Izobel paced the room for a few minutes, trying to think. She winced occasionally at her arm, but never said anything. "So this Cole guy doesn't like Alexis, right? Maybe we can convince him to go kill Alexis while we get the girl out. Then when him and his friend Elektra are taking down Alexis we shoot them all. That way all of the bad guys are dead!"

"Wow, if I didn't know better, i'd think you were a bad guy too. You get these guys to help us and then you stab them in the back, literally," he chuckled. "Whatever, it sounds great, but i'm not gonna be the one to convince Cole. The last time I saw him, I beat him to a pulp and left him for dead. I'm sure he hates me right now. You offered to help him though. The only problem then would be Elektra. She probably watches Cole's back."

"Well you said they're bad guys, they don't deserve to live. They were the ones I were called here for in the first place. But I'll take care of convincing Cole. As for Elektra we'll just find out her weakness. She won't know what's coming. If not then we just leave with the girl and figure out another way to kill Cole and Elektra later on, okay? My main point right now is getting that girl out. I know you want to because it may very well be Elena."

A few days later
"Okay, you have Elektra's address. Do you have any weapons? Get some. Would you like me to come with you, if so, should I wait outside?" Liam was going down a checklist in his mind. They were about to try to convince two criminals to join them. One of those criminals hated Liam. "I don't know about this Izobel," Liam said, shaking his head. "I'm sure Cole would be easy enough to trick but Elektra will call your bluff i'm sure. I've found some info on her the past couple of days while you were recovering. She's trouble."

"Oh relax. She's not going to know. We'll be fine. Cole will be attracted to the idea that Alexis is powerless. Trust me." Izobel had been dealing with Liam's doubts for the past few days. He really wasn't fond of this idea, even though she told him they would be fine. Her wounds still hurt but luckily they were healing nicely without any infections.
They walked over to Elektra's apartment and she knocked on the door. She wanted Liam to stay with her because she wanted Cole and Elektra think they were being straight forward from the start. That they were to be trusted.
Elektra opened the door and raised an eyebrow. "Can I help you?" She had never met Liam before and she didn't remember Izobel.
"Hi, my names Izobel, we met a few days ago in the alley way. This is Liam. We need to speak to you and Cole."
Elektra's face hardened at the mention of Liam's name. Her hands started to heat up and she wanted to hurt Liam for beating Cole up the other night.

"Who's at the door?" Cole called from the bed. When he heard Liam's name mentioned, he shot out of bed and went to the door in his underwear. "What are you doing here?" Cole practically growled.
Liam narrowed his eyes, but stayed perfectly still. "I'm not here to apologize," Liam said, glancing over at Elektra. "We have a proposition for you two. Believe me, you'll want to listen to what this woman has to say."

Elektra looked at Cole for a moment before opening the door wider. "Try anything and I'll kill you two faster then you can blink." She warned.
Izobel walked in, bringing in Liam with her. "I guess I should start at the beginning. I'm a hunter. I was told to come here to kill Alexis, that's when I met you two in the alley. I went to Alexis' home the other day and I found a girl who looks exactly like Alexis in the basement in a cage. I was caught and brought into the house where I met Alexis. I shot Alexis and she didn't kill me, she just had her minion try to kill me. I am pretty sure that somehow Elena and Alexis got separated and Alexis doesn't have her powers anymore."
"I know you hate Alexis and want her gone, so do we. I was thinking that you two could go in and kill her while Liam and I go in and save Elena. What do you think?"

"I think I want them both dead," Cole spoke up. "I mean, Elena was the one that worked with you, Liam, to throw me down the well." Cole pulled a shirt on and sat down on the edge of the bed. "You're throwing us to the sharks, you know. We do the hard work getting rid of the bad guys and then you come in and get the recognition for it. Why would you want us to help? You're giving us the right to rule this place."
Liam tried not to open his mouth, because if he did, he would probably give away that they wanted to kill Cole and Elektra. He kept an eye on Elektra though. He wanted to learn more about her.

"Because you killed his girlfriend. You know you deserved that. But anyway, the past is the past. Point is, Elena hasn't done anything to make her deserve to rot in that cellar, or die. The real thing that should interest you is that right now, Alexis is powerless. If you don't help us kill Alexis now then she will get her power back, and do you really want that? I know she choked you and left you to get beat up in that alleyway. You want her dead. Would you really give up an opportunity like this just because you don't like Liam or because you want Elena dead too?"
Izobel was very good at keeping her cool and stuck to trying to lure Cole in with the thought of killing his old crush. She needed for him to want to help them because she had a feeling that Elektra would go along with Cole's decision. He was her target. He needed to join them.

"There's no reason I should trust you two. I mean, you were nice to me in the alley, but now that you've teamed up Liam, I don't know..." Cole looked over at Elektra to see what she thought of Izobel's plan. "Here's the deal, you get my gorgeous girl over there to agree, and you'll have me.
Liam rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. He knew that this was necessary, but he hated working with murderers. "You should take this Cole. You'll get to suck the life out of at least twenty five guys."

Elektra glanced at Cole before turning to Izobel. "How do we know you aren't leading us into a trap? How do we know you aren't lying about Alexis not having her powers?"
"Do you really think I'd be alive if Alexis still had her powers?" Izobel unwrapped her bandaged and showed the werewolf wounds. There were still three long gashes on her arm but they weren't that deep anymore and still had the black thread from the stitches holding the skin together. When they took a good look at it she wrapped it back up. "She had her werewolf come after me when I shot her. She would not have done that if she had powers. She would've killed me herself."
She stood up and glanced at Liam. "Lets go, they obviously don't want to take this. We'll do this ourselves." She was playing them, making it seem like they didn't need them and could do it without them. She walked to the door and was about to walk out when Elektra spoke up.
"Wait," Elektra said. She looked at Cole. "I don't think their lying about Alexis not having her powers. We would be stupid to not take this opportunity to kill her. Elena isn't a threat to us, let them help her." She was convinced.

Cole got up and searched around the room for the rest of his clothes. "Lets do it then," he said, slipping on his jeans. "I'll need at least an hour to get ready. Where should we meet you guys?"
"Why would you need an hour?" Liam asked curiously. "Need to charge your battery? Kill some people?" Liam was still bitter about letting Cole onto the team. Cole walked over to Izobel and pushed a strand of hair back, away from her face. "I stopped draining people after I met you," he smiled. Cole knew that Elektra would understand. He wasn't flirting with Izobel so much as messing with Liam. It wouldn't hurt to befriend Izobel though.

Izobel elbowed Liam in the stomach to get him to shut up. "Meet us at the gate to Hollow Estates. We'll give you the plan then." She grabbed Liam's shirt and pulled him out of the apartment building and a few blocks away. "Liam, you have to keep it together. If you want to save Elena and kill Alexis then you are going to have to work with Cole." Izobel was starting to have second thoughts about killing Cole. Something about what he said made her believe him. Maybe he really wasn't killing people anymore. If he stopped was it really her place to kill him?
"Do you trust them?" Elektra asked as she stood up and walked over to Cole. She had doubt in her mind, but she knew this would be a good chance to kill Alexis and she wanted that girl gone.

"Alright, i'll work with him if you stick the our original plan. Don't fall for the charm Izobel. They're gonna kill Alexis and then we're gonna kill them. There's no way he stopped killing people. He has to do it in order to survive!"
"No. I don't trust them. This is a great opportunity though. If they're correct, Alexis is powerless and easy to kill. While we're there, we should get rid of Liam and Elena. We can burn down the building after we kill Alexis. I'd like to try and spare that girl, Izobel. I like her. Not more than you of coure," he smirked.
