Chapter 14
Dana's POV
Dana woke up feeling fuzzy all over, but then again her energy levels were higher than in a long time.
She lay on her bed and looked up at the ceiling of what she vaguely remembered as the infirmary.
"Oh yeah, Daniel brought me here," Dana thought slowly and then sat up in a flash a short second later when all the memories of just why she'd been in need of the infirmary in the first place stormed into her mind.
"Shit," she muttered and before she could fall into a hole of despair she noticed something odd.
She was alone – she'd never been alone in the hospital before. Some of the medics still remembered her from her trainee days and wouldn't for the death of them allow her to be alone in a room with deadly medicine and possible weapons such as scalpels and such.
Dana slowly jumped of the bed and walked solely towards the exit when suddenly something indefinable told her to hide – now!
Dana instantly followed that instinct, she'd promised never to ignore again after that time in Copenhagen, when she'd walked over to Daniel although she knew it was dangerous and scurried into a supply closet and buried herself in-between several items she didn't want to remember.
The electric doors to the infirmary opened with its usual silent hiss and Dana heard footsteps from at least two men. They walked around the room in silence and opened closets as though searching the place.
Dana's breath got caught in her throat as the door to her hiding place was opened and she moved farther backwards desperately trying to avoid being seen and didn't know why.
Fortunately as a darkly dressed soldier entered the supply closet, the other person with him said
"Come on, there's no one here; team three already got the medics out of here a few minutes ago by saying there was some sort of emergency. Let's go join the others; I don't want to miss this for the world."
The man standing only a few inches away from a frozen Dana nodded and turned to leave while saying
"Affirmative."
Then he pressed a button in his ear that Dana recognized as one of the comm. Units that Jason had claimed were out of date last year and said
"Infirmary all clear, over."
The two men left and Dana exhaled a sigh of relief. What was going on?
"I gotta find some weapons," the Dane whispered when she emerged from her hiding place. "Then maybe get in touch with Daniel."
Dana searched the room and fortunately she found the medics secret hiding place and within moments she was armed and very confused as to what her next step was gonna be.
Slowly the redhead moved towards the electronic doors and peeked through the small window in the door and froze in shock.
In front of her eyes stood Jason with a gun to his temple and all around him several of her fellow operatives were in the same dilemma.
"Yep," Dana muttered as she crouched out of sight, as a foreign operative looked her way, "definitely gotta get a hold of Daniel."
The brother's POV
Daniel sat in his car with his brother by his side and they were on their way to Section One to put a few ghosts to rest.
Daniel sneaked a peek over at his older brother, who was sitting with a bemused expression on his face and then concentrated on the driving again.
"Are you in a hurry to get the confrontations over with?" Adam asked soon after.
Daniel raised an eyebrow in a silent question and Adam chuckled "It's weird how much you look like Papa, I'm still surprised I didn't see it…"
Daniel smiled shortly, but then said "What did you mean with confrontations?"
Adam sighed and said with a nod towards the speedometer "I've just noticed that you going way too fast for normal traveler mode."
Now it was Daniels turn to sigh as he answered with a small frown "I'm not sure exactly, but I feel like they need me at Section…I think it comes from being a lifelong operative…I don't know…"
But Daniel did know. Deep in his core he just knew something was wrong in Section One and he had to get there as soon as possible.
After a short time of silence, a beeping sound suddenly tore both men out of their thoughts and Daniel quickly located his communication unit that was build into his vehicle.
"Yes," he said quietly as he pressed the button. Then he nearly crashed the car when an image of a serious looking Dana came into the frame and her voice whispered with frantic urgency
"Daniel, you better get your ass over here as fast as possible. Some kind of terror organization is trying to take over Section."
Dana's silvereyes briefly left Daniels and searched for Adam, who couldn't quite get his own eyes to meet hers, before landing back on Daniel and adding quietly
"They're after Operations…She just came down and I don't see Michael anywhere…I don't have enough firepower to help out much…Just get over here as soon as possible, before I'm forced to do something stupid…"
The picture of Dana was gone before Daniel even got a chance to interrogate her on how many hostels and foreign operatives there was present and he did something very unlike him; he cursed.
Adam ran a slightly shaking hand through his dark locks and said tiredly
"The fun just never stops when our parents are involved…so, what do we do now? Dana needs backup and preferably before she'll jump right smack in the middle of it all – just to save lives."
Daniel chuckled tiredly and then surprised Adam by pressing some buttons on his cell phone and thereby revealing numerous hidden weapons in the car.
"What the…" Adam muttered. How did that happen?
"Look Adam; I know you hate my mother, but our father is in there too," Daniel said, and ignored his internal voice that added," and Dana too," as he continued
"I'm going to need assistance. I take it; your father trained you as fiercely in firearms and battle tactics as he did in combat sports?"
Adam nodded without talking and allowed his younger brother to take charge as he pulled over and loaded them both up with guns and knives and devices Adam hadn't even known existed.
Five minutes later they started the car again and drove towards Section in a much faster speed than earlier.
Adam clenched his hands and finally couldn't stop himself from asking a bit nervously
"So what are we gonna do?"
Daniel then scared Adam a little by calmly smiling as though plunging in to battle was a daily occurrence and answer softly
"We're going to Section and then we're taking my mother's secret passageway into it and then we kill all of those agents before they know what hit them."
Adam gaped at his brother for a moment; he kept forgetting that this stranger, this man had done nothing other in his life than fight and train for these occasions. He swallowed that lump of fear in his throat and slowly said with a fake smirk
"Well, sounds like a perfect plan to me…"
Michael and Nikita's POV
Nikita straightened up and turned toward her door to go down to the operatives from Red Cell and Centre. Michael quickly walked up to her and turned her around and kissed her deeply before letting his forehead rest gently on hers and say quietly
"Don't die – I can't live without you anymore…"
Nikita's beautiful face lit up in a smile that instantly reminded Michael of that night so many years ago when they'd been on the run from section and had found a little piece of heaven on a beach. Her eyes had been happy back then too.
"I'm not going anywhere without you," she whispered softly. They stood head to head for a short moment before their training kicked in and Nikita left to try and save her agents.
Michael took a deep breath and quickly dived into that emotionless mask he'd once been the master off and concentrated on getting things ready for their plan. Then he walked over to the darkened windows of the perch and looked down on the scene below him with an assault rifle neatly planted on his arm.
Nikita walked into the oval entrance room and ignored the several guns that instantly were pointed towards her.
"So, Red Cell lives again," was all she said in that deep cold Madeline voice, she'd perfected over the years.
The operative, who was holding Jason smiled evilly and said as he pushed the systems manager brutally to the side
"Who said we ever died little one?"
Michael had to work really hard not to pull the trigger on that clearly insane terrorist and then he felt really old when suddenly a foreign voice sounded behind him and startled him out of his recon mission.
"Hello, pleasure to meet you finally. Mind moving so I can see what's going on?"
Michaels head snapped in his fast movement and then he froze as his eyes met his and Nikita's lovechild for the first time.
And then Michael got shocked one more time as his firstborns voice said from that hidden doorway in Nikita's office
"Daniel; could we save the family reunion and get this over with first? I'm feeling a bit panicked right now…"
Michael's handsome face lit up in one of his rare smiles, before he moved to the side and allowed his sons to check out their opponents – secretly he couldn't help but feel relieved about the fact that Nikita and he wouldn't be alone against all those enemies for once.
His intense stare at his second born was suddenly disrupted by said second born clenching his jaw and cursing a something that made his firstborn freeze and then curse too.
"Damn it Dana, don't get yourself killed you idiot!"
Before the three men's eyes a tall redhead had suddenly appeared from nowhere and had her gun covered hands pointed at the leader of the attack…
All POV's mixed together
"Why do I always jump out into things without thinking them through?" Dana berated herself as she slowly made her way over to her boss and the dangerous looking Red Cell operative.
The tall husky man turned his dark gaze away from Nikita, who stood unmoving in front of several weapons and looked over at Dana. He seemed almost perversely pleased by the fact that she was holding guns to his head.
"Well, well well, what do we have here?" He said slowly and licked his lips as he looked her up and down, and Dana shuddered internally as she realized that if she was defeated, he would do a few unspeakable things to her.
"Better not lose, "Dana said to herself and gripped a bit tighter on her guns.
"So," Dana began as she forced her old die hard attitude back out from the debts of her mind, "didn't your mama tell you not to play with strangers? You never know what they're gonna do to you…"
The threat seemed to thrive in the crazed mans mind and he chuckled loudly but sadly her distraction technique didn't work as his attention never wavered from her, nor did his men's attention from Nikita.
"Damn," Dana thought and hoped briefly that Daniel was on his way. In the quick moment that passed after that she barely realized that the one she wanted with her to help was Daniel – not Adam…
Nikita's eyes fell on her and Dana read a warning in her looks, mingled with a bemused sort of respect. Operations had figured out her plan and although she didn't like it, she would play along to try and save as many lives as possible.
Well, if at first you don't succeed, Dana thought and said out loud
"Look crazy man I don't particularly like this place, but its people have kind of grown on me, so mind moving your little field trip somewhere else?"
The terrorist's eyes widened for a split second as he took in her continuous snarky remarks and he suddenly bellowed with an accent that she couldn't quite place
"You little minx, wanna die first eh? I'm not called George Torturer for nothing and you look like you need some special attention. "
The terrorist – George – panted after his rant, but then he blinked in disbelief as that weird redhead responded to his threats by laughing loudly.
"yeah, right," Dana said in a sweet mocking tone and prepared herself as she just knew this was something George wouldn't tolerate being tormented about, " I think you should meet some of my colleagues, they put the t's in torture. Whatever little slice and dice division you've got going on, it's no match for them."
"Why you little!" George yelled and his face had turned beet red and glistened with sweat. Dana knocked on last nail in her coffin by adding with a sweet smile, "What? You're jealous?"
George did as she'd hoped and snapped. His gun switched from Nikita and onto Dana as he grunted in rage.
Which of course he never should have done in front of such a highly trained operative as Nikita, because within seconds the two of them were involved in such a hand to hand combat that neither sides operatives could get a clear shot in.
Dana took advantage of that and fired at one of the attacking agents – she recognized him from the infirmary. Then a gunfight of epic proportion broke out and everyone got involved in the fight. Out of the corner of her eye Dana saw her old teammate Eric reach out with some sort of device and electrocute one of the enemies.
Suddenly Dana felt a strong arm around her neck and she immediately jumped up in the air and twirled around so she forced the arm of her as she landed behind her attacker, who instantly turned towards her and made Dana gasp in shock
"James?"
Her other teammate James smiled sarcastically and asked with a raised eyebrow
"What? You're actually surprised that I've switched sides?"
Dana fell into her combat stance and answered coolly, " I guess not. You've always been a right handed bastard in my book. Glad to see you've made it official."
James sneered and jabbed at her and soon they were caught up in a fight Dana had looked forward to for years.
As both Nikita and Dana dived into the fighting the three men in their lives ran down to join them and if possible stop too many people from dying.
Daniel's heart raced as he caught sight of Dana fighting fiercely against one of his former wards. They were both covered in blood and Daniel raised his weapon to try and kill of her enemy, but a tanned hand stopped his arm and his father's hoarse voice said quietly even in the midst of battle,
"Don't interfere; she knows how to survive and will not thank you when it's done."
Daniel nodded gloomily and then diverted his attention to some of his fellow operatives that were in much more danger and joined the fight.
Michael was soon attacked by a young – and very big – Red Cell agent, who looked like he thought Michael being old was an advantage to him. Michael hit his attacker twice and walked towards the next fight leaving behind a man that didn't get up again.
Adam's POV
Adam stood in the background and fired his guns at anyone coming near his father and brother, while they pulled out several injured operatives. He had noticed Dana and wished more than anything he'd talked with her before all this – he didn't want to lose her without getting a chance to talk things through.
Adam was so concentrated on covering his family that he didn't notice one of the terrorists turning in his direction and pointing his own weapon at him. He would surely have died if it hadn't been for Nikita's deep voice yelling out in warning,
"Adam, get down!"
The bullet went right over him and he secretly swore that he'd never speak another bad word about his father's love again.
Then he watched in horror as Nikita was overpowered by that crazy terrorist George and he saw Daniel pale as Dana's body suddenly collapsed on the floor not a minute after Nikita as she'd jumped past her own attacker and tried to get George away from Operations – only to get shot in the back by the young man behind her.
Adam couldn't move from his spot on the floor - Especially when he heard the grief-stricken cry from his father and brother, who now looked both absolutely devastated and murderous at the same time.
"We have to win this," Adam thought as through a haze and got up to join the remainder of his family.
Win or lose, it was gonna end tonight.
