Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters or the show. Reviews are appreciated! I'm still trying to figure out where to take this so that's why it's taking a little longer. Also for the purposes of the story, we are just to pretend that Alex told Sean about her butterfly tattoo and not Owen.

Sean POV:
Nikita and I are in bed together. I kiss her deeply and she kisses back.
"Nikita, I love you," I tell her. She smiles.
"I love you too," she replies. We get out of bed and get dressed. I make breakfast and we eat together. I stare at her.
"What?" she asks, smiling. "You're making me nervous," she continues saying.
"Nothing, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," I tell her. She smiles and blushes a little. Suddenly the phone rings. I go pick up the phone.
"Hello? This is Alex," a voice says.
"Hey…" I take the phone outside.
"Is everything okay?" she asks.
"Yes. Why wouldn't it be?" I reply.
"Sean, Amanda messed with your head. She implanted your feelings for Nikita," she explains.
"What? You're just jealous I've moved on," I tell her.
"Butterflies are God's proof that we can have a second chance at life," she says quickly.
"What?" I ask.
"Butterflies are God's proof that we can have a second chance at life," she repeats. A sharp pain goes through my head and I see flashes of Amanda, voices in my head. I remember the feelings I have for Alex, and the false memories and feelings she implanted. "Sean, are you there?" she questions, worried.
"Yeah, I'm here. I was such an idiot," I reply, realizing what I've done.
"So you remember?" she asks.
"Yes, I remember everything," I reply back.
Nikita POV:
"Sean? Is everything okay?" I ask, worried about him.
"Yes. I mean no. I have to go. See you soon," he says and hangs up.
"Who was that?" I ask.
"It was...an old friend," he replies.
"Oh um okay. Come inside," I tell him.
"You need to go back to your room," he says to me.
"What? Why?" I ask. He grabs my arm.
"Nikita, now." he replies firmly.
"No. You can't ask me to do and just expect me to do it without asking questions," I tell him, wrenching my arm from his grasp.
"I wasn't asking," he says. He tries to grab my arm again, so I push him away. "Nikita," he starts.
"Stay away from me," I reply back. He grabs my arm, and begins to pull me inside. I punch him, and knee him in the face. He dodges it and punches my face. I duck and kick his legs out from under him. He falls and pulls a gun.
"Nikita, stop," he says.
"You won't shoot me," I tell him. I turn and run down the street. Suddenly, a shot rings out and a sharp, blinding pain courses through my thigh and leg. I crumble to the ground and look at my thigh. Blood stains my leggings, and Sean comes running over.
"I'm sorry Nikita, I had to stop you from running," he brings over a needle with a sedative. As the syringe nears my neck, I grab his hand and turn it and plunge the needle into his arm, near his shoulder. He passes out next to me and I stand and limp away, knowing I needed to get as far away from here as possible.
Alex POV:
I'm sitting there with Michael and Birkhoff explaining to them what happened.
"I'm glad he remembers," Michael says.
"You and me both," I reply, smiling. Suddenly the phone rings. I pick it up.
"Hello?" I say.
"Alex...she ran. I tried to stop her…" he replies.
"Okay Sean breathe and slow down. What happened?" I ask.
"Nikita. She's gone." he responds.

Okay so I have two ideas for storylines I can follow. Would you guys like me to do the longer one, or should I go with the shorter one?
