Kidnapping of Stick

The Kidnapping of Stick was an attempt by Nobu Yoshioka to trap Elektra and convince her to become the Black Sky.
==Background==
Knowing that the Hand was active in New York City once again, Stick asked Elektra to once again try to bring Matt Murdock back into the Chaste. Using the excuse that they were investigating her father's investments in the Roxxon Corporation, Elektra and Murdock discovered a large hole, at least 40 stories deep, in Midland Circle, an area that Nobu Yoshioka had asked Wilson Fisk to procure for him. At this location, they were attacked by Hand ninjas, and were only able to escape when Stick arrived to rescue them.
Elektra was badly hurt by a poisoned blade in the battle, but Stick was able to save her. In Murdock's apartment, he finally explained the history of the Chaste and the Hand to a very skeptical Murdock. Murdock convinced Elektra to leave Stick and to fight the Hand with him instead. She agreed, and told Stick to leave.
Later, Murdock was attacked by a lone Hand ninja, and was struck with a poisoned arrow. Murdock was able to defeat him, only to discover that he was just a kid. Elektra slit the young man's throat, horrifying Murdock. Elektra was able to heal Murdock, but when he recovered, he asked her to leave, saying that he couldn't be with someone who loved killing.
Elektra attempted to leave the city, but was met at the airport by Jacques Duchamps, who tried to kill her with twin sai. She was able to take the weapons and kill him. With his dying breath, he said that Stick had sent him to kill her.
At the Wall, Stick's men told him that Duchamps was dead, and Stick sent them to find Murdock. As they left, they were attacked by Elektra, who then found Stick and attacked him. One of Stick's men lived long enough to drive to Murdock's apartment building and tell him that Elektra had come to kill Stick.Daredevil: 2.11: .380
==Kidnapping==
Murdock, in his body armor, was able to make it to the Wall in time to stop Elektra from killing Stick. However, they were attacked by Hand ninjas, who escaped with Stick. Murdock tried to convince Elektra to help him rescue Stick, but she insisted that she would kill him if she found him.
Murdock was able to find Stick's location using abandoned railway tunnels. He could not track the Hand by their heartbeats, and when they stopped using weapons, he couldn't use the sound of their swords, either. Stick, being tortured by Hirochi, spoke to Murdock, knowing that he could hear him with his enhanced senses. He told him to track the Hand ninjas by their exhalations, which Murdock did.
Murdock was able to rescue Stick, who bit into Hirochi's neck in order to subdue him. They were interrupted by Elektra, who was still intent on killing her former mentor. They were joined by Nobu Yoshioka, who revealed to Elektra and Murdock what Stick already knew: Elektra was a Black Sky. Elektra, seeing this as the answer to why she always was drawn to violence, was tempted to accept this as her fate. However, Murdock convinced her that only she could define who she was, and in the end, she turned on the Hand and helped Murdock and Stick escape.Daredevil: 2.12: The Dark at the End of the Tunnel
==Aftermath==
Nobu Yoshioka realized that Daredevil had a great deal of influence over Elektra. He set a plan in motion to kill Daredevil so that Elektra would accept her destiny as the Black Sky.
