A/N: Wow. Nikita Is AMAZING! I Miss Thom so MUCH :'( But I Still Have The Awesome First 11 Episodes Recorded To Watch Over And Over Again :D Now, not to waste anymore timeā¦
Walking back down Division's corridors, Michael looks just as worried as Thom is, if Alex dies, this is it for Him and Nikita, and he can not let that happen.
They walk into Alex's medical room, the same sickly grey colour on the walls like every room in the stomach-turning building. Thom watches as doctors continuously try to resuscitate her. This is it. She is going to die and I can't stop it. All the lies and secrets. Alex is going to die and I can't even help her anymore. What the hell is happening? Why her? Why me? Why now?
"Alex!" Thom screams, no longer holding it in, he goes to run for her, but Michael restrains him. "Do you want to be cancelled?" Michael asks him with a look on his face as if to say I know it hurts. Thom nods. "What if she doesn't come round?" He whispers back. With that, Alex opens her eyes and squeals in pain, but the doctors look baffled. Michael stares at Thom and he stares back at Michael. "I know why she is hurting." Michael nods and let's go of Thom, letting him run over to her. She stops squealing. "She wasn't in pain, she was just scared of being alone." The doctors nod and leave them.
"You got to stop running to help me Thom." He smiles. "It's been a year Alex." She nods. "Since the car incident." She adds and they both look at Michael. "It's a recruit exercise, everyone has to do it." He says with a sigh. They laugh and Michael holds his ear and nods at Alex. She lifts an earpiece and listens in.
"Ok, I take it Alex is listening now to, and I hope your feeling better Alex but that is beside the point- Gogol is after us now, which means Percy will soon know. You must all remain silent and keep talking to each other to a minimal. You'll know when to talk and when not to." Nikita says and they all hang up. "We better let Alex get some rest." Michael says, forcing Thom to leave her bedside. "I want to know, who did it?" Thom says and they walk away from her, Thom looks back, but she is half asleep.
"I'll go to operations, you can go back to your room. Don't go back to her Thom." He nods. "And Thom." Thom turns back swiftly. "No matter what, you know the rules about relationships." Thom walks away. And then there's times when I hate my mentor. He goes back to his room and opens a drawer. He lifts out the pictures. The pictures he managed to get of Birkhoff's computer- You'd think his password would be a little smarter than. Nikita.
He sets them out on his bed- pictures of them together- training, from the time she had the fight with Jaidan, the task before Sarah died, and most recent- the picture of her before her Final Test.
No matter what anyone says or what he thinks, that last picture, means more to him than any others- it's the one that takes his breath away every time. It's the picture that reassured him she was still alive. It's the picture that made him realise that he was in love with Alex Winslow.
