Hey guys, sorry about not posting! Without having the show as a time line it's easy to forget about posting. This chapter is a little longer as promised, the next one is also about the long. I've started another fic call 'Mikita Resistance' and it's based off of season 1 episode 6 if you can check that one out. ENJOY!

Chapter 8

"Mickey just calm down. She's here to help." Michael looked at Birkhoff like he had lost his mind.

"Here to help! Last thing I heard she shot Nikita and then Nikita had to break her arm to make sure she didn't do it again!" Michael yelled furiously. Birkhoff moved so that he was now standing slightly in front of Alex. Any other day He would have trusted Michael with his life and hers but today he just wasn't himself. Not that he could blame him.

"She shot her to protect her! It wasn't Alex's fault. Can you please just put down the gun. I know you're stressed out about Nikita but she's on our side." Birkhoff said slowly trying to get Michael to calm down. Michael slowly lowered his gun and put it on the hall table.

"I'm sorry. It's good to see you Alex." With that Michael left and walked upstairs.

"I'm sorry about that. He's just really not himself right now." Birkhoff said. Alex took off her jacket and hung it up in the closet.

"Hey it's okay. So how have you been? I haven't seen you in a while." Birkhoff smiled at her.

"I've been okay. Sorry I haven't gotten around to calling you in a while things have been pretty crazy around here." They walked over to the couch and Alex sat down. "Do you want coffee or anything like that?"Birkhoff asked leaning against the back of the couch.

"Coffee would be great thanks." Birkhoff walked into the kitchen and put on a pot of coffee. He walked back over to Alex an sat down next to her. "So what's the news inside Division?"

"Not much really. Sean and I went to Belarus a few months ago but that's about it." Birkhoff looked at her curiously. "Who's Sean?" Alex chuckled at the twinge of jealousy that was evident in his voice. "Sean Pierce. He was sent by Oversight to make sure Amanda doesn't do anything to crazy."

Birkhoff scoffed. "Not only was he sent by Oversight, he practically is Oversight." Alex looked at him confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Sean Pierce's mother is Senator Madeline Pierce. She a member of Oversight code name Gemini." Alex sifted in her seat. "Well that makes so much more since. I knew they wouldn't have sent a Navy Seal there just to watch Amanda." Just as Birkhoff was about to change the subject the door bell rang. "I'll get it."

Birkhoff said getting up from the couch and walking over to the door. When he opened the door he saw Owen standing on the other side with a large duffel bag thrown over his shoulder.

"Hey man. Good to see you again. Come on in." Birkhoff said as he moved to let Owen inside. Owen mumbled a thanks and came into the house. He dumped his duffel bag on the ground and walked a little farther into the house. Alex who had gotten up from the couch walked towards them and extended her hand out to Owen.

"It's nice to finally meet you Owen." Owen took her hand and shock it lightly. "The pleasure is all mine. So what's up with the whole Nikita situation?" He asked taking his boots and coat off and placing them both in the closet.

"I don't actually know that much. I just got home this morning. I walked in to find the house a complete mess. I went upstairs and I found Michael unconscious in their bedroom. He said that someone knocked him out. I went over the survalince footage and found out it was Gogol. Then I called you two. I knew I wouldn't be able to help Mikki and as much as he hates to admit it he can't get Nikita back all by himself." Birkhoff said heading to the kitchen an pouring the three of them each a cup of coffee. He poured some milk into Alex's mug before handing it to her. She gave him a small smile as she took a sip. Owen watched the interaction while drinking the coffee Birkhoff had given him. Alex and Birkhoff turned to see him staring at them.

"What?" Alex asked looking at a smirking Owen.

"So, how long have you been banging eachother?"

"WHAT!" Birkhoff and Alex yelled at the same time.

Owen chuckled at them. "How blind do you two think I am? It's so obvious. Youre almost as bad as Michael an Nikita. So how long has it been?"

Alex began nervously twirling her hair with her fingers, placing it behind her ear and then doing that all again. "Since about last June I guess, not that it's any of your business."

Owens smile grew even wider. "Ha, that's great. Congrats you too."

Birkhoff smiled. "Yeah but Michael and Nikita don't know yet so please don't tell them."

Owen looked at them slightly confused. "Why wouldn't you tell them? Wouldn't they be happy for you?"

Alex sighed. "I'm sure they would be but Nikita and I aren't exactly on best terms right now and I don't want them to get made at nerd because he didn't tell them. So for now we're just keeping it on the DL."

Owen nodded at the explanation. "Okay, I see your point. Just promise me that you'll tell them once we find Nikki, I don't think you guys are giving them enough credit, I'm sure they'll be very happy for both of you. Besides that way you wont have to keep hiding."

Birkhoff and Alex looked at each other before nodding their heads.

"We promise." Owen smiled at them again.

"Good. Now let's figure out how we're going to find Nikita."

Nikita's POV

I woke up with a pounding headache. 'What the hell did they give me?' I wondered as I lifted my head up and looked around. My hands and ankles were stilled tied and my arm stung from the injection I had gotten earlier. I noticed a few wires that had been clipped onto the chair. A few minutes later Ari walked back into the room.

"Where are the black boxes?" I kept my face straight as I looked at him.

"I don't know. The only one we had was destroyed." Ari pulled up a chair and sat down in front of me.

"See I know you're lying. I know you and your, associate Michael, intercepted the information two weeks ago. Now I'll ask you again, where are the remaining three black boxes?" I kept my eyes on his, I wasn't going to give that information up. I knew Birkhoff knew where they were and he would get in contact with Owen.

"I told you I don't know." Ari gave a small flick of his wrist to his guards and I let out an involuntary scream as the electricity ripped through my body. When it was shut off after a few seconds I took a few gasps of air.

"I told you I don't know." I said again. Again the electricity ran through my body. This was going to be a long day but I wasn't going to give up anything. I didn't want to think about what Ari would do with the information on those boxes.
