"Reason to Fight"
He couldn't sleep that night…and it had nothing to do with the fact that he was stuck sleeping on the couch. It had everything to do with the fact that Nikita was sleeping just in the other room; in his bed.
He still couldn't believe that she was here…asking him for his help. She already had her team back across the world so why would she need him?
Deep down he was thrilled that she needed him again but he couldn't help but wonder where Michael was. He couldn't help but wonder what else had happened since he last saw her because he knew that she was holding back when it came to telling him.
He could see the hesitance in her body language, the tension in her shoulders and that glare she sent him whenever she didn't want to talk about something. He knew when to butt out but then again, he also knew that she was going to crack soon from all that stress and he vowed that he'd help her through it.
As Owen was drifting off to sleep, he vowed to himself that he'd help Nikita in any way he can, whether it pertained to the mission or not because he owed it to her.
It wasn't just owing her back for saving his life multiple of times…it was because she gave him a reason to fight back.
She gave him a reason.

A/N #1: How was that? Even though I am a Mikita fan, I can't help but cheer on those Nikita/Owen moments on the show! What can I say, I'm a sucker for love triangles. It also helps that Maggie has great chemistry with both Shane and Devon.
A/N #2: Thank you for everyone who took the time to read my latest snippet on Life with Derek, it means the world to me! A special thanks to Ghostwriter and Enx2103 for leaving me a review...I'm loving the thoughts that I get to read and it means the world that you're leaving your thoughts behind for me to read. THANK YOU!
A/N #3: A little heads up but I've added another fandom to this story (NCIS: Los Angeles). I just can't get enough of it (especially season 2 & 3). Also...just in case I don't update anything before then, Happy Holidays Everyone!
Coming Up Next: Supernatural (challenge)
