A/N: I really have no desire to write detailed fillers for this story. But to briefly explain the next chapter: Serena and Amanda are in Colorado Springs awaiting Nikita to follow Gogol.
Amanda and Nikita spot one another. A fight ensues.
[Nikita has Amanda pinned to the floor with a gun pointed at her forehead.
Serena stands in front of her, gun cocked and aimed.]
Serena:
Kill her; I kill you.
[Nikita looks Amanda deep in the eyes]
Nikita:
Rowena's alive?
[Now speaks to Serena, not breaking eye contact with Amanda]
Nikita:
What'd she do, fake your death and turn you into a cleaner. Or send you to Gogol to work with them?
Serena:
No, she faked my death to get me out of Division. To save my life.
Nikita:
Amanda doesn't save lives unless there's something in it for her.
Serena:
Not this time.
Nikita:
No. You obviously don't know her.
Serena:
You think I don't know what she's done! I've seen what she's capable of...But I've also seen her do good.
Nikita:
It's called manipulation. It's what Amanda does best.
Serena:
No. I'm not talking about telling people the truth to get them to do what she wants. I'm not talking about saving someone so she can use them.
Nikita[to Amanda]:
Oh, she does know you.
Serena:
Precisely. That's why I'm saying, I've seen her do good. Selflessly. Now put the gun down.
Nikita:
It's not in her nature to do good, Rowena.
Serena:
People do things unnaturally all the time, Nikita. What makes Amanda any different?
Nikita:
Because it's Amanda!
Amanda:
Come on Nikita. Even you said you believed there were two Amandas.
Nikita:
Which you believe one was a sign of weakness. And now you expect me to believe that you see it as strength. Give me a break.
Serena:
But I've seen-
Nikita:
Then tell me about it.
Serena:
I can't.
Amanda[to Serena]:
Tell her the truth.
Serena:
What?
Amanda:
She won't hurt you. If you tell her the truth. [to Nikita] You can tie me up if you want while you listen to her. But you need to listen to her.
Nikita:
How do I know you aren't planning your escape?
Amanda:
I won't. Just listen to her.
Nikita:
Put your gun down. And I'll listen to you.
Serena:
Same time.
Nikita:
Okay.
