MIKITA IN A DIFFERENT STORY

(Disclaimer: I do not own the show Nikita or its characters.)

A different ending of "A Fair Trade"

After yelling to Michael "Why aren't you here?" Niki poured everything what she feels. She's so alone. Her boyfriend was in London and her close friend was caught by Division. She doesn't know whom she can get some strength in times of trouble. It was only her and Alex before. Now there are four of them and she was left behind, alone.

She follows what Michael told her. She called Amanda and asked her for a Trade and Amanda agreed in her terms. In the parking lot where she met Sean together with Birkoff, she put block box in the floor and Birkoff on her side already, she instructed Birkoff to go to the roof. When Birkoff was already gone Sean on the other hand, gunned the block box and he get to Nikita.

Nikita did not expect for this. She was trapped in Sean's hand. Birkoff called her through the wireless headphone and Niki instructed that he should leave without her. Birkoff has no choice but to leave her as he was instructed.

Sean brought Niki to Division. They tied her hands and hanged her. Amanda was so very happy with Sean's accomplishment. Now she can do punish Nikita for getting on her way. She picks up the horsewhip in the table and started to strike it on Nikita's back. She interrogated Niki on their hideouts, where Michael is. But Nikita known as the ultimate assassin would not give like that.

When the chopper hits the ground, Birkoff got his phone and dialled Michael's number. He told Mikey what happened to Niki. All he can hear was a yell from the phone. After telling Michael, he called Alex and told her everything. Alex was worried and concerned of her friend. Niki maybe in the other side, still for Alex she always be a friend who save her from her past.

It was already 9 am in the morning when Michael arrived in Toronto. When he saw what happened to Birkoff he was so disappointed on his self for not being there when they need him. He asked Birkoff of what exactly happened. Then He received a call from Alex. She told him that he will find a way to get

Niki out of Division alive.

Alex called Sean. She told everything on how Niki trying to fix what Oversight and Division had done. That Niki was a good person. He told him also if not for Niki she was dead now. All Niki has been doing is for common good. Hearing those words from Alex, it remind Sean how Niki called his mom a Bitch. That he should open his eyes. It was his decision to kill Niki so that there would be no more threat on his Mother's life. But a good soldier side of him was wondering what if Niki was innocent, that she was the here. But still she will always be on his mother side.

Niki was all wounded. There are many scratches not only on her back but all over her body. She was so helpless. While she was sleeping hanged, she was surprised someone untied her. Her vision was not clear. She mentioned Alex name but her savior did not answer. She knows she's a woman because she can shadow on her sight a girl is in a uniform dress like. She gathers all her strength to find a way to escape. When she escapes, her two guards was fall asleep in a sitting position. This is not the first time Niki escaped in Division. She knows every direction. It was good she learned from her past.

The door bell rang while Michael getting ready to save Nikita. Michael and Birkoff were surprised. Then Michael immediately went to the door. As he opened, he found a wounded Nikita lying on the floor. He immediately carried Nikita and laid her on the couch. Birkoff called a doctor while Michael gets a first aid kit. Seeing Nikita wounded, Michael's heart broke. He felt the pain twice more than Nikita. How could he have become so irresponsible for her girlfriend? He got caught because he was not there.

After hours of sleeping, it was already 11 pm when Niki woke up. She saw Michael sitting next to her bed and Birkoff sleeping on the couch. She tried move she can't. Her body was still in pain. Michael woke up and sees Niki was awake already. He told Niki that he was very sorry for what happened to her and Birkoff. Nikita just smiled and look to Birkoff who got awake because of Michael. She asked Birkoff to sit near her. She told Birkoff she was sorry for being a bender, that this was all her fault. And Birkoff thanked her for risking her life just to save her. Birkoff hugged her and kissed her on her hand. Michael was so touched on what he had just witnessed. It was a big disappointment for him not to be with his family in times of trouble. They were a team and he decided to stay in London. If he could only follow Nikita, this won't happen. Nikita barely see Michael on his eyes. He was there but she was not happy at all. She doesn't know what to feel, the pain of what Amanda did to her or the pain caused by her relationship with Michael?
