Nikita and Dark Angel Cross-over

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, I just had a dream about them and decided to write about it.

A/N: This is my first ever story, so please let me know what you think?

Prologue

Nikita uses a hospital laptop to Google Birkhoff's name, thereby opening up the webcam conversation that she had seen Alex use a few times as a means of secret communication. As Birkhoff's face appears on the screen she smiles. "Hey Nerd, I need you to do me a favour, I'm sure it is within your ability, hack into a satellite and get it to shine a light in a Morse-code message for me. I need the message to be transmitted on the hour for three hours."

"Hey Nikki, yes it is lovely to hear from you, seeing as I've heard nothing in over three months! No I'm not too busy, trying to track down Black Boxes… but who cares about that?" said Birkhoff sarcastically, in reply.

"Sorry Birkhoff," she smiled sheepishly, "have you heard anything about Owen recently?"

"Why would I be keeping track of your friends Nikita? That sounds a little too much like caring for me. He is in North America somewhere, I can tell you that much." He was clearly still holding a grudge, for her disappearance from her Saving-the-World mission.

Nikita frowned a little at him, "Thanks Birkhoff, how is everybody?"

"Alex is fine, spending time with her new Seal friend. Mikey checks in every now and then, but he is still in London." He watched to see what her reaction would be; he worried about her sometimes, not that he would openly admit to of course. When Michael had left, he had tried to be there for her, she fell apart for a few weeks. Being Nikita she picked herself back up and got on with things. He had noticed the little things, like her not going on so many risky missions, gradually becoming no missions. It was Alex that noticed the wardrobe change, not that they mentioned it to Nikita of course, but the loose jerseys and hoodies, she never used to wear those.

Nikita ended the call rather quickly after that, sighing, Well, that's that part done, she thought to herself. She phoned Owen next, that was a very short conversation too, just the address and that she needed him to visit her. Now I just need to wait, she thought.

It was Bugler that first noticed the message; he alerted the others to the strange light. Within seconds Zero had the message decoded and they packed up and moved out shortly after.

The young woman that stood in front of her as her visitor, was clearly not Owen, she was thin with long blond hair, holding herself up straight. "You are Nikita, you asked for protection, please confirm?" stated the woman. Nikita nodded, and the woman continued "Communication is established, my name is Ralph and I shall be your contact for today. The others are setting up surveillance and a protection detail. We should get on the move as soon as possible."

"Actually I am waiting for a friend to arrive, but he should be here in a few days at the most." said Nikita to Ralph.

"No parameters created, delay has been confirmed. Transportation will be acquired for the journey when it comes," said Ralph as she nodded and stood at-ease.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot currently offer you much money–" said Nikita but she was cut-off as Ralph interrupted.

"Money is not necessary, we only require a roof, a kitchen and water" said Ralph.

"At the new location that will easily be achievable," nodded Nikita. "But then, why are you doing this?"

"You are a good warrior, a soldier. Soldiers look after their own; we will protect you." Ralph said it with such surety, that Nikita felt that this would be the only answer that she would be given.
