R/N: This story is based after APO part 2, but that is the last moment it goes up to. After that the story is pretty much up to me but a few bits may be borrowed.
Legal Notice: I do not own these characters I am just borrowing them for my amusement.
Chapter 1
Nadia bent across the table and pulled across one of the many forms that were in front of her. All in relation to her move to America and her joining APO.
Ok. She thought as she started to fill the form that had her current attention.
Name: Nadia Santos
DOB: 03/15/1982
Her details but they weren't truly correct. She had known that for most of her life. She wasn't Nadia Santos, and they may not be her birthday, these were details that were given to her by the people at the orphanage. A legacy which used to brand her as nobody. But she wasn't nobody anymore. She had a family, and with that family a past. But the one person who could tell her about herself. Her mother, Irina Derevko. But she was gone. And that secret had gone to the grave with her
She may not had know her mother. But she was going to make the person pay that took that chance away from her.
Ring. Nadia was jolted out of her thoughts by her cell phone ringing on the table in front. She picked up the phone and looked at the screen. It was Sydney, so she accepted the phone call and put the phone to her ear.
"Hi Syd"
"How's all that paperwork going?" Sydney asked through the phone.
"Boring and very slowly. What can I do for you?"
"I am so sorry to disturb. But guess what?"
"I'm needed at APO?" Nadia said a slight sigh at the end of the sentence.
"I know it's a pain but that's the life of a spy."
"Mmmm. I know. Tell them I'll be their as soon as possible."
"Ok. I'll see you soon."
Nadia pushed back away from table and headed in the direction of her bedroom to change out of her nice comfy clothes to a staunchly business suit. She grumbled slightly underneath her breath. A day of always ended it seems no matter what the country with her getting called into work.
Nadia stepped of the subway train and hung around on the platform waiting for it to clear, before she headed towards the left of the station where they door was located for entrance to APO. With one last look over her shoulder she went down the stairs and smirked at the sign that was placed on the door. Authorized Personnel Only. The name of their association for everyone to see.
She pulled out a non-descript card and placed it through the card reader to the right of the door. Waiting for a tell tale beep that told her the door was open. The beep occurred and she pushed the door open. Once through she pressed a variety of switches around the room she came in. And with the final switch the entrance to APO opened.
She walked down a short corridor and when she rounded the corridor she saw Sydney in the desk in front of her. She headed straight towards, Sydney back was facing her and she waited a moment to see if she would acknowledge her.
"Nadia. I know you are standing behind me" Sydney said with a hint of laughter in her voice.
"Just testing your senses."
Sydney spun around on her chair to face her.
"Now you are here. We can get this briefing over."
"Do you know why I've been called in?"
"No," Sydney said pushing herself up from her seat and stood next to Nadia. "All I was told was to phone you."
Both of them walked together. Step by step to the briefing room.
"Great Cryptic Calls ins." Nadia said "You know this is just a trick, so they never need to give us days off."
Sydney let out a little laugh.
"Perhaps. They seem to do this a lot to me as well."
Nadia and Sydney steeped into their briefing room and head to their normal places at the table in the room.
Sloane looked towards where Nadia was seated. A slight smile on his face, things were still tense between them and an end was not in sight.
"Thank you for coming in Nadia. I'm sorry for the disturbance."
After that he started to address the room.. To the rest of the occupants Jack, Vaughn and Marshall as well as Nadia and Sydney
"You maybe wondering why I have brought you here. It is to introduce you to a new member who is joining APO."
Sloane gestured to someone who was outside the room to come in.
"I do believe the majority of you do know him." Sloane said as the man walked to the front of the room and faced them.
"Mr Weiss here will be joining as. As from looking at your files I see that you work well together. So I think he will be valuable contribution.
The briefing continued for another hour. Mainly just being used to fill in information on their section of the agency.
Nadia and Sydney walked out of the briefing, stretching their muscles out from sitting their to long.
"How well do you know Eric?" Nadia enquired
"Quite Well. Why do you ask?" Sydney said a broad smile on her face.
"No reason. He just seems nice." Nadia said with a slight blush to her cheeks. Sydney had busted her.
"Don't worry. You'll have a big chance to get to know him at the party that I am throwing for his birthday tomorrow.
