A/N: DISCLAIM. I Hope Your Enjoying This So Far :D ~[R&R]~
"I'm not ready to get used to it." She says. "Well you better." She turns back round to him. "Jaidan is dead." He walks up to her, remembering the night he spent with Jaidan, the one time they slept together. "You didn't-" He couldn't finish the sentence; it was too much to take in. "No, A Russian did, when we were in Tokyo, he aimed for me, and missed." He nods. "What happened, her body?" Nikita took her, she isn't really dead. She keeps yelling at her self. "The river." He nods. "It's a dog eat dog business." I nod at him again. "Then I guess, I've been bitten." He stares at her and she raises the side of her top to show him her wound. "You got shot." She nods. "I didn't feel it." He smiles at her. "How could you not feel a bullet wound?" she drops her top and looks up. "'cause I've been in pain everyday since you stopped talking to me."
He stares at her. "I better go to my room." He nods. "Did you get that checked out?" she nods. "I have to get the bullet removed tomorrow." He turns back. "The bullet is still in there?" she nods. "Yeah, still- I can't feel it." He raises his top and shows her a bullet wound. "Nikita shot me." She walks towards him and sets her hand beside his wound-on his heart. "So it is still beating." He looks away. "Why? Did you think it would go cold?" She shakes her head. "I'm amazed there is a heart in there." He smiles at her. "We are not all heartless." She laughs at him.
"What's so funny?" she smiles. "You're saying your not heartless, yet you've killed people for the past seven months." He laughs. "I've been an agent for almost a year now Alex." She nods. "But after five months you pick which Ops you do- Intel or Kills." He turns around. "How do you know so much?" she smiles. "Percy tells you these things." The lights go out and an alarm sounds. "Black out." She says to Thom. He grabs her hand and pulls her towards her room. He grabs two torches and gives her one. "It's not a black out, and that's not just another alarm." She shakes her head. "What is-" he smiles at her and lifts a gun. "It's Nikita." She goes wide-eyed. "Your best friend." He continues. She feels her heart breaking
[FLASHBACK]
{AU TO EPISODE 11}
"Alex, Run." She looks at Nikita but turns back to Thom. He holds a gun to them. "I got this." Alex says to Nikita. "Shell is down, meet me on the outside." She nods and Nikita runs. "Go on Thom; make your ultimate kill, Nikita." Alex hisses at him. "I will." She nods and he closes his eyes. "It's just what you need to be up at Michael's level, you have to kill the one that got away all those years ago, show them that you can even kill the one that went rogue, you can prove to them that no one can get away on your watch." They both look at Nikita and she turns round to him. "Prove to them." Nikita reiterates. He looks at Alex. "Or even better. Kill us both; show them that contact on the outside never ends well." Alex says and walks up to him, pressing herself against the top of the gun. "I can't shoot you Alex." She nods. "Think of it like a mission." He shakes his head again. He locks his gun back on the holder. "Just go Alex, leave with Nikita, I'll say nothing, and whatever you do next, has nothing to do with me. But tell me this; was it all just a lie?"
[BACK TO NOW]
"So now you could shoot her?" he smiles. "Different circumstances to that day." She shakes her head. "Completely the same." He looks at her and walks past her. "Grab a gun or go to your room." He barks. She lifts a gun. "Going to point it at me?" he jokes. She walks out past him and sees Nikita, she nods at Alex and points to her leg. Alex nods feebly and points the gun at her leg. "Here we go Sensei." She whispers, the back up lights start flashing and more alarms go off, Alex pulls the trigger and turns slightly, she sees Thom staring at her. "You told me to grab a gun or go to my room." Her eyes go like glass and she drops her gun. She blinks, lifts it and hands him her gun. "Take the credit." He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. "Stop wasting time, they'll want her alive so that they can torture her, besides, I don't need anymore blood on my hands, not tonight at least."
