Heys guys. So, this is my last chapter that I've had pre-writen so updating is going to be even more irrlegular. I have almost NO ideas for the next chapter so if there's anything you'd like to see please leave it in a review or PM me. I am thinking of an epilogue where Mikita and Balex are married with kids, so I need name ideas. Anything you want and if you have a name with a meaning even better, I'm not sure how many names I'll need but most likely more than 3. And if you have any ideas for Michael's last name again let me know. Okay so enough my rambling. ENJOY!

Chapter 10

Michael's POV

Two and a half hours later the plane touched down. I was the first one out of the plane getting to the car in record time. As soon as Owen and Alex were in the car I stepped on the gas pedal and sped off not even giving them time to do up their seat belts. Fifteen minutes later the arrived at the safe house. "Owen, Alex can you go get all the gear set up. I'm going to call Birkhoff and make sure the satellites are all set up."

"Sure, no problem." Owen said leaving with Alex to get the stuff set up. I quickly took out his phone and punched in the Birkhoff's number.

A few rings later Birkhoff picked up the phone. "Michael, Nikita is about twenty minutes on foot from you current location. You'll have to go trough the woods at the back of this property to get there just keep walking straight you'll come up to the back of the property beside it. Nikita is in a small room at the end of the warehouse. also jut so you know I called a doctor friend of mine too, don't worry though I trust her with my life and Nikki's."

I wrote down the instructions mumbled a quick thanks and hung up the phone. I walked into the front hall and saw Owen and Alex standing their waiting for me. They each had a large gun along with a smaller glock and a knife. Alex had her long hair tied bak in a pony tail and Owen handed me my gear as I walked up to them. "The warehouse is a good trek from here. Nikita is on the far side of the warehouse from where we will be coming from. I'll go get her you guys secure the perimeter and if you can get Ari. Ready?" I finally asked while putting my knife in the side of my boot. Owen and Alex both nodded their heads. We walked out the back door and started to run towards the warehouse.

Fifteen minutes later Owen, Michael and Alex came up to the back of the warehouse. "Owen you and Alex go down the left side I'll go down the right. We'll meet up in the middle and then go in and get Nikita." Owen and Alex nodded their heads in understanding and moved towards the building.

As they went down the sides they each occasionally pulled the trigger. You would hear the small pop of the silencer a short scream and then silence. In record time the three met up at the front of the building.

"Okay. Let's go. Birkhoff you've got to be our eyes man." Owen said over the com unit.

"Proceed straight through to the room on the far side of the building." The three of them quickly walked through the building shooting anything that moved or got in their way. After what seemed like an unnatural number of guards they finally came to the door which lead to the room where Nikita was.

Michael and Owen looked at each other as they looked at the locked door. "Think we can kick it?" Owen asked.

Michael nodded. "On my count. 1. 2. 3."

Owen brought his leg up and kicked the door, taking it right of its hinged. Some of the pieces of wood turned into splinters and shot across the room. Michael went in first making sure there was no one else with a gun. He quickly cleared the room which was simply a large open space. Michael looked aroun frantically trying to find Nikita . His eyes landed on her in the far corner of the room and before Owen and Alex could register it Michael was sprinting towards where she sat tied to a chair.

"NIKITA! NIKITA!" Michael yelled as he tan towards where she was tied to the chair.

He slid to the ground just in front of the chair and looked at her. Her face was bloody and one of her eyes were swollen shut. Michael took out his knife and quickly cut the ropes from her ankles ad wrists.

He pulled her out of the chair and cradled her in his arms. "Nikita, Nikita please up your eyes, come on honey open your eyes." Michael looked at his strong girl, broken and bruised. Owen and Alex came up behind him.

"Oh my god." Alex said, barely above a whisper.

Owen simply stood there in shock. "Michael we have to get her out of here."

Michael nodded slowly. "Birkhoff, we need help. We have Nikita but she's unconscious. We won't be able to bring her back trough the forest. It'll be to difficult." Alex spoke over the com.

"Okay, the car has a remote system in it. It'll be just in front of the building in about five minutes." Michael slowly stood up still holding Nikita in his arms.

He walked towards the door and waited as Owen opened the door for him. He brought her out to the front where the car was already waiting for them. Owen got in the driver seat and started the car and Michael and Alex sat in the back of the car and placed Nikita gently across their laps. Her head was in Michael's lamp and he softly pushed the hair out of her face. Owen pulled the car out onto the main road and sped back to the airport. They quickly go onto the plane, with Michael still carrying Nikita. He laid her down on one of the seat and knelt in front of her. Just after the plane was off the ground Nikita slowly opened her eye that hadn't been swollen shut.

"Nikita, oh thank god." Owen and Alex were next to them in a second at the sound of Michae's relieved voice. Nikita had tears streaming down her face as she got up from where she was laying down and wrapped her arms around Michaels neck.

"Nikita what happened?" Michael asked as he place his arms around her back.

"Ari said you were dead." Michael felt his chest tighten. He remembered what it was like when Birkhoff had told him Nikita was dead last year. He had never wanted her to experience a pain like that.

Once she settled down Owen was the first to speak up. "How are you feeling." He asked.

"Like I got ran over by a truck." Even after everythig that had happened Nikita let out a small chuckle. It was only then that she noticed Alex kneeling next to Owen.

Alex smiled at her. "Hey sensei."

Nikita smiled at her. "Im glad you're here Alex. I've missed you."

Alex pushed a piece of stray hair behind her ears. "I've missed you too." Michael and Owen both smiled, glad to see they were getting along again.

"Guys if you don't mind can I get some sleep. It's been a long couple of days." Nikita asked.

Everyone nodded and Owen and Alex got up and went to the other side of the plane. "I'm staying right here. Don't worry. Go to sleep I'll wake you up when we land." Michael said as he gently kissed her forehead.

Nikita nodded and whispered a thanks and she lay down and went to sleep. In a few minutes she was out like a light. Michael quietly got up and grabbed a blanket from an overhead bin. He carefully placed it over Nikita's sleeping form. He laid down next to her and not long after he too fell asleep.

"Mike we're here." Owen said gently shaking him. He opened his eyes and saw that outside it was now dark and the plane was on the ground. He looked at Nikita who was still sleeping on the seats. He stood up and gently brought her into his arms.

She woke up slightly at the motion of being picked up. "Hey, it's okay go back to sleep. I've got you." Michael said softly and she stirred a bit.

She nodded and burried her face in his neck. He carried her out to the car and placed her in the back leaning up against him. He wrapped his arms around his waist and she snuggled in closer to him. He kissed her hair glad that she was back with them.

Half an hour later they arrived back at the house. Michael noticed an extra car sittin out in front of the house an realized it must have been the doctor that Birkhoff had called. He walked into the house while Owen and Alex got the stuff out of the trunk. He placed a still sleeping Nikita gently on the cot that he saw was set up in the living room. He walked over to Birkhoff who was in the kitchen.

"Hey. You're back." Birkhoff said spotting his friend. Michael noded wiping his hands on his pants.

"Yeah. Nice to meet you." He said extending his hand to the doctor. She appeared to be about 20-25 she had long light brown hair that was tied back in a pony tail.

"Katie Brolese. Nice to meet you too. I've known Birkhoff for a while. He filled me in." Katie said simply.

Michael nodded. "She's just in the other room if you'd like to see her. She asleep right now but I'm sure she wont mind waking up for a moment."

Michael walked into living room with them and saw Nikita slowly sitting up, obviously awoken from the talking. "Hey honey, this is Dr. Brolese she's going to make sure you're ok."

Nikita nodded. The doctor gave her a quick check up as took her vitals before standing up. "She seems fine considering everything she's been through. There is some soft tissue damage so make sure she doesn't lift anything heavy or does any strenous activities but other than that she should be just fine. Call me if anything changes. Have a nice night." Michael thanked her and then sat down next to Nikita as Birkhoff walked Katie out the door.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Michael asked. Nikita gave him a soft smile.

"Yeah. Now that I'm back with you everything will be fine." Michael kissed Nikita lightly on the lips.

"I totally agree." Nikita wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you." Michael said as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "I love you too. Now lets go to sleep. I'm sure you need the rest just as much as I do." Nikita said slowly standing up. Michael helped her walk up the stairs and the two of them crawled into bed together. Nikita smiled as she laid her head on his chest and breathed in the scent that truly was Michael. Michael kissed her head as the two of them fell asleep.
