As Wolverine sneaks out of the Xavier Institute and hitches a ride to New York City, Elektra relates to a turning point in her childhood.
The story is about the gardener Stavros, that worked for her father who she would find out was a mercenary during World War II who killed many. How he had learned the horrors of war and began to learn that each life is precious. He had taught her some hard lessons and she would learn that he came into her fathers employ when her mother was brave enough to summon him by pointing a gun at his face. When a pair of assassins attempted to murder her father, Stavros would kill the elder assassin but it would be Elektra who would convince him to spare the other, whom would realize his youthful folly and devote his life to working with Stavros.
