Disclaimer I do not own Nikita or anything in it.

Nikita limped into Birkhoff's home. Her limbs were aching and the room spun in front of her. It had been a harder mission then she had anticipated. She hobbled to her room grunting in pain as she sat on the bed grabbing the first aid from under it. As she started to clean up her wounds she thought back to a couple hours earlier.

Nikita's POV

" Just be careful okay Nikita," Micheal said pulling up her chin for a kiss. " I promise," I said returning the kiss. As I left the door I looked back knowing that there was always a chance I might not come back. I had told Micheal and Birkhoff that it was an easy mission that no back up was necessary. That was how it was suppose to go. My heart started pounding as I got closer to my destination. I pulled the car of the rode and got out. The road was empty of any cars and had no buildings around. A woman was walking on the sidewalk looking at her phone. So that was her. Birkhoff's replacement, she was obviously good with a computer but not nearly as good as him. I was surprised that no security was was around her for protection. " Freeze, and put your hands behind your head," a voice said. I felt a gun to the back of my head. I slowly lifted my hands up. I turned slowly to see half a scared face. " The acid burns are healing quickly," I commented smiling at him. " Yes and now I have my revenge," He said his eyes flashing with his hatred of me. My mind was racing. How can I get out of this think Nikita think, I thought to myself. He was still talking but I was not listening. I was looking around looking for an escape route. Then with out thinking my leg swung up kicking the gun out of his hand, He then grabbed me and threw me to the ground. The wind got knocked out of me. Gasping for breath I reached out for the gun and shot across the street. She was dead. We were no longer threatened by that new program she had made to track where Birkhoff's video feeds were coming from. Then I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head.

I could feel the pounding in my head where I had been hit and knocked out. I jolted awake expecting to see Amanda's face but i was still on the side of the road. Leaves and dirt covered my arms and legs as well as cuts and bruised. No one was around me. I looked around and saw a familiar face looking at me from a distance. My stomach suddenly became very week. I slowly stood up my head spinning, my limbs aching and then I threw up. My body heaved uncontrollably. He couldn't be alive, he wasn't there, my head was playing a trick on me. I wiped my mouth and keeled my eyes closed and rubbing my temples. I opened my eyes slowly but no one was where the man had been.

I finished patching myself up and look a long shower trying to clear my head. I convinced myself that I hit my head to hard and my mind was playing with me. I was so confused at why I waster dead. He had the chance, I was unconscious, He could have killed me so easily. When the dull pounding of my head stopped and the heat of the water had relaxed my aching bones I got out and changed into the softest most warm cloths I could find. My hair dripped cold water onto my baggy navy green sweater chilling me slightly but my sweats kept me warm. One would think that someone as rich as Nerd could afford a good heating system. I could smell an amazing dinner in the dinning room and I walked there quickly realizing how hungry I was. The news was playing. It showed the face of the woman I had shot. " Good job Niki, Amanda is having most likely having a fit right now, I can picture it," the nerd said smiling happily. "Your just happy that you don't have anymore competition," Micheal said smiling and rolling his eyes. I smiled at him and went to hug him. He was so warm and I felt so safe as he hugged me back and kissed the top of my head. We all sat down and the table and ate the salad Micheal had picked up from Jetties . The sweet sent of the dressing tickled my nose. I smiled as I ate listening to Micheal and Birkhoff arguing about how, yes he did feel insecure about his geek skills.

The door bell ran and we all looked up weary. I grabbed a gun from under the chair and as did Micheal. We all walked slowly to the door and Birkhoff looked through the peep hole. That guy doesn't look like division or gogol. He opened the door Micheal and I hiding to the side to he couldn't see us. " I-Is Nikita here?" A very familiar voice asked shakily. I dropped the gun and looked at the person. My head started spinning again and my legs gave out but Micheal caught me. " You know each other Birkhoff asked moving aside do we could see each other clearly. The man had dark hair, light brown eyes and a pale complexion that suggested he had not seen sunlight in a while. My stomach started to clench."Yes we do," I said my eye's watering, " That's Daniel."
