Hi Everyone,
Haven't posted in the longest time but a few recent reviews motivated me to write again. The start of the season 2 premier was mind imploding and the new season will be amazing! I'm still shocked that Nikita broke Alex's wrist AND shot her in the thigh... that definately didn't teach Alex anything. Though, hopefully Alex and Nikita will work together again and kick ass.
Nikita is getting very low view count ratings on the CW (In Canada at least).
:( Spread the word about this amazing show so there is promise for season 3!
Percy smiled behind his laptop as he received the report from his loyal agents. He commanded, "Great. Leave Nikita as is. It'll be too easy of a capture and kill if we take her in now. Any sign of Michael?"
"No sign of Michael." A voice echoed back through Percy's receiver.
Without cracking an ounce of emotion, Percy simply replied, "Affirmative. Your job is done."
Michael arrived in Division, with one goal in mind. To seek out Birkoff for help and to go through the mission files again, hoping to catch any details he and Nikita could have missed. Michael had the last few days off but had a mission coming up in just a few days so this was the best time to get as much intel as he can before Alex's life spirals into danger again.
Michael rounded the corner, walking speedily towards the direction of Birkoff's work station. As he walked briskly, two recruits walked towards him, chit chatting away, minding their own business.
He recognized the two immediately as the two newer recruits joining Division just about 4 months ago.
The young female recruit, Jenna, was a talkative one, but always keen on tackling new challenges. The other male recruit, Gerald, was always the calm and logical one who had excellent hand to hand combat.
Michael greeted the two with a nod as soon as they made eye contact. The two lowered their voices down, respecting Michael. However, their voices even through whispers wasn't quite enough for Michael's trained hearing.
"I heard that the new hot recruit is on a mission right now" said Jenna excitedly to Gerald. As Michael and the recruits closed in the distance between them, Michael just sighed at the young female's comments.
"Nathan? Too bad, he's taken already. I chatted with him yesterday and he claims that he joined Division to save some girl. I think her name was Alexa? Elexy or Alex" Gerald responded, unfrazzled then continued, "I think it was Alex."
Michael and the recruits had just passed each other and it only took 1 millisecond to figure out that something wasn't right when he heard the words "Nathan, new mission, and Alex."
Thoughts sped through Michael, 'Nathan, Alex's neighbour? Can't be…'
Turning around quickly, and using his authoritative voice he commanded, "Gerald, Jenna, what were you just talking about? When did we get a new recruit named Nathan?"
Jenna stood up straight and happily responded, "Nathan arrived less than a week ago and went through some vigorous training with Percy and the head trainer downstairs."
Michael continued to stand there and look at the two recruits, waiting for further information.
He knew that his demeanour was well established here at Division and used it to his advantage. "Did Percy order the mission?"
Gerald, sensing something was wrong and feeling slightly uneasy about the situation tried to defuse the tension, "What we know is that Nathan is on a mission right now. It seemed urgent and he's visited Percy's office quite a few times yesterday."
After a small pause, Gerald continued, "we thought that you knew about Nathan…?"
Vigorously trying to put together this new information, Michael acknowledged the two recruits and began to run out of Division.
A hurried run quickly turned into a full powered sprint 'Shit, Nikita and Alex.' As soon as he arrived outside, he got into his car and dialled Nikita's number.
Ring…. ring….ring….ring….The person you are reaching is unable to come to the phone right now. Please leave your name and –
"No … NO." Michael panicked. He sped away towards the direction of Nikita's loft while dialling again only to receive the same automated message.
Alex looked at the scene in front of her upon being brought into the helicopter by Nathan.
Just as Alex was becoming more and more conscious of her surroundings and in tune with her senses again, she saw Nikita getting farther and farther away as the helicopter departed from the loft.
Alex slowly began to regain her composure and posture as she almost miracously had new strength. 'That shot was really something' she thought as she looked up at Nathan.
"Nathan, where…how… when… what happened?" Alex verbalized loudly trying to overcome the helicopter's loud operating sounds. Alex felt almost like her complete self again. Her fever was still running on low grade but the pain had stopped and her migraine had subsided substantially, enough to sit up without toppling over like a petrified wizard from Harry Potter. Alex's life was different, unlike most other younger adults. Her exposure to pop culture was limited to commercials, and movie snippets if she was lucky. Heck, her own life was a movie in itself.
Nathan smiled down and replied happily, "Alex, I'm so glad you are okay. I'm sorry for walking out on you, it was selfish of me. Don't worry, Division is here to help us. Just relax right now."
Before he could continue, something caught his attention causing him to turn around, facing outwards towards the bright sky.
He had his gun, Diemaco C8A1 carbine, fully loaded and ready to fire but he wasn't fast enough to dodge a flying bullet.
He suddenly jerked backwards and the scene before Alex's eyes occurred almost as if everything was in slow motion. She had been caught up in enough gun fire to know what just happened.
A bullet had pierced its way through Nathan, splattering his blood into an array of scatter. Alex looked quickly at the source of the flying bullet and saw Nikita with a gun pointed directly at Nathan.
"No…" Alex screamed in surprise, disbelief, and sorrow. She finally got to see Nathan and she didn't know how he was involved but she couldn't. No, not couldn't, refused to belief what her eyes told her.
"Nathan!" she got up quickly, nearly losing her balance, as she tried to stabilize Nathan who fell onto his knees.
Using as much strength left in her, she carefully laid Nathan's head on her thighs to provide as much comfort as she could through the situation.
Nathan tensed with pain and jerked with fresh uncoagulated blood flowing freely from his mouth.
Alex quickly pressed his fresh wounds, hoping to stem the bleeding. Her hands, once pale now turned a hellish red, warm sticky blood flowing freely through the cracks between her fingers.
Another fellow Division agent quickly grabbed a first aid kit and helped apply pressure to the wound in Nathan's chest.
The Division agent acting quickly and taking control said, "Alex, I need you to get more sterile bandages from the first aid box."
Alex pulled her hands away from Nathan's body and leaned back against the cold helicopter for support. 'Not again…' Alex thought helplessly.
"Alex, Alex, focus." the other Division agent yelled, finally getting Alex's attention. "Alex, get more sterile bandages."
'This can't happen again. Because of me Tom died, and now Nathan'. Tears streamed down her face as she looked into Nathan's unfocused eyes. His body stopped convulsing, laying still as can be. The other Division agent pulled his steady hands away from the body, and stole a quick glance at Alex. Her face was plastered with sweat, she visibly shook, and was all in all, a disaster.
Alex looked up at the Division agent who tried to save Nathan and simply told him, "I killed him. It's my fault."
The Division agent, understanding her pain approached her and sat down. He took off his head gear and exclaimed, "Alex, it's not your fault."
Not eliciting any response or any sort of reaction from Alex, he knew she wasn't hearing him.
He gently put his hands on her shoulder and tried again, "we tried everything we could. He was hit in a major artery and had a quick death. Alex, it's not your fault." Alex looked at the Division agent's dark brown eyes and blinked away new tears.
The Division agent couldn't help but feel more and more concerned for her well-being. He removed his heavily insulated jacket, placing it over Alex's shaking body, easily covering her up from the cold air. He then simply continued to sit there with her.
He had multiple comrades die in combat with him. He knew exactly how it felt and the effects it had on him. Nathan was his student, soldier, and comrade.
"Pierce, what's happening back there?" The pilot asked through his intercom.
The Division agent replied softly, "We've lost Nathan."
Understanding what that meant, the pilot remorsefully replied, "Shit, I'm sorry Sean." Nathan was new to the team and first to leave.
Sean Pierce and Alex sat there in silence for the remainder of the ride.
As soon as the helicopter door was opened by outsiders, Alex didn't need to look up to know where they've landed.
Division.
So... after watching episode 1 & 2 of season 2, I'm beginning to like Sean more and more. Even though he came across as a cold jerk at first, you never know what'll happen on nikita. And... if the producers are heading towards Sean being a love interest for Alex, I'm definately for it. Finally one worthy of Alex! :) It'll be interesting to see their relationship progress further into the season. Don't forget to leave your comments~
