CHAPTER 3 Join

"What are you talking about Alex ?" Michael asked, scared of what she would say next.

Alex opened her mouth to explain, but Percy entered the room before she could say anything further.

"I heard what happened. We should probably go and get a wrap on it." Percy insisted.

"Yeah." Alex agreed meekly, standing up to follow Michael out of the door and to the Division clinic.

The walk to the clinic was silent. Right before they got to the clinic door, Michael pulled Alex aside.

"You cant try to leave Division Alex. You'll die eventually by them, and I could be killed also trying to save you. You know Percy would send me after you just like he does with Ni-" Michael stopped himself before making his mistake. Alex looked at him suspiciously. She happened to know someone whose name started with an 'N' and an 'I'.

"Whose name were you about to say ?" Alex asked, her face serious.

"I wasn't going to say a name." Michael lied, starting towards the clinic door to open it for her. Alex decided to let it go because she knew that Nikita would have told her about a relationship if there was one. She trusted her.

Alex stood beside Thom as they waited for their turn to fight one on one with Michael. He was one of the best fighters in Division and just happened to be Alex's trainer and her groups one on one every now and again.

"Thanks for the other day. You saved my ass again." Alex nudged him, half smiling.

"It was no problem. Besides, it would have been a tie if I didn't force myself to save you." He replied jokingly. Alex smiled fully that time.

"You didn't force yourself to save me the other time with deactivating the bomb under the car." Alex informed him smirking.

"Someone had to shut you up." He chuckled. Alex showed him an annoyed face before smiling again.

"Alex, you're next." Michael told Alex, pulling her smile off of Thom. Alex walked in front of Michael and got ready to fight. As they started to get closer to each other, Michael shot a hit towards Alex's left cheek but Alex dodged and pushed his hand out of the way and quickly fired a kick at Michaels side, nailing him. He smirked at her before faking a hit with his right leg and instead hitting the side of Alex's head. "Looks like I'm not the only person that cares about you." Michael said, so low that only Alex could hear.

"So you do care about me." Alex said, not as quiet as she lunged at him and tackled him to the ground. Michael reversed positions and tackled Alex to the ground, pinning her. Alex went weak, informing Michael that she knew she had lost.

Alex gracefully stood up and made her way back to the line. She smiled as she watched Michael and Thom fighting; the two only people she felt cared about her. She knew she would get them out of Division somehow. Soon they would be living their lives, free to do whatever they wanted; Alex hoped.

"Are you okay ?" Michael asked, laying a hand on one of Alex's shoulder when she didn't respond to his question. Alex stood in the middle of the mats, lost in her own world and took a breath, finding her way out of her head when she felt a warm, light pressure on her shoulder. It was Michael's hand.

"Wh-what." She stuttered, realizing he had said something to her.

"What were you thinking about ?" He changed his question. Everyone else was leaving the training room for lunch, leaving Michael and Alex alone.

"Nothing, just tired."

"I hope that whatever it was, it wasn't about our conversation earlier." He responded, his face serious and somewhat concerned.

"What if I was ?" Alex pushed, as Michael was walking away. Michael stopped in his place and stood there for a couple of seconds until he turned to face Alex.

"Please don't try anything that will get you killed." Michael told her, worry flashing across his face.

"You cant get killed if you never get caught." Alex said flatly. When Michael just stared at her, Alex continued. " I mean, don't you want to leave this place. Live your own life. No rules. You can find a girl, maybe even one you already know. You ever want kids ? If so, you're never going to have any if you stay here in Division." Alex told him, her face showing no signs of listening to him. Michael walked up to Alex now, his face a couple of inches from her, ignoring her question.

"Alex. You need to tell me what you're planning to do, if anything because you WILL get hurt."

"You're telling me that you have never known someone to escape safely ?" Alex told him, knowing he knew about Nikita. The pause before his answer told her he knew.

"No, I haven't." He lied, trying to protect Alex.

"Mhm." Is all she said to him, pushing past him to go to lunch. Michael grabbed her arm and pulled her back towards him. Alex's face was hard.

"Why are you telling me all of this. I could have you killed." He informed her, reminding Alex how much control he had in Division.

"You wouldn't do that to me."

"And why wouldn't I ?" He asked.

"Because, you told me back when you picked me up at that gas station when I escaped from the interrogation set up by Division that you wouldn't lose me too." Alex reminded him, knowing she was right. "What did you mean by that by the way ?" She finished.

Michael couldn't say anything. He knew she was right. If Alex decided to do whatever she was thinking about doing, he would secretly back her up all the way. He meant those words at the gas station. He was Not going to lose her too.

"So what's the plan ?" Michael asked.

I love to hear what you guys think is going to happen next so please share those ideas with me and please review and tell me if its still good. I hope you liked it !
