The girl, Nikita, and her brother, Sean, were supposed to be the only two people in the car. The intel they received stated the girl would be driving while her brother remained in the passenger seat. That was what they had planned around; they controlled the stoplights, and they knew the force they would have to apply to only render them unconscious rather than killing them. The vehicles boxing them kept them in place for the initial crash. And the second crash knocked them out. They had acted as though there were two people in the front of the car. But there were four teenagers. The two in the back were not hit as severely as the two in the front. They weren't going to be unconscious for long.
Roan had to move quicker than he would have liked to. A recruit they were going to cancel anyway drove the van. He thought he was going to escape with the others, instead Roan injected him with something undetectable. He collapsed against the steering wheel, dead. A cellphone with a half typed text message was placed in his hand; the story of a texter and driver would be their cover for the crash. As people were dazed and confused and fishing out phones to call for an ambulance, Roan stealthily approached the target's car. He should've had more time to give the girl the serum that would make her appear dead, yet the teenagers in the back were stirring. His instructions were clear: do not kill. So he hurriedly drugged the girl and hopped in the awaiting getaway vehicle.
The girl in the backseat, Abby, could've sworn she saw a man touch Nikita's neck after the accident. And the brother knew he had seen a car speed away from the crash. But they weren't believed when they told the police. The two were barely conscious, they were in shock; their minds were just filling in gaps with a made up image. Despite the teenagers arguing, the police would never believe them. That wasn't what they were paid by those men to do. They were supposed to blame the accident on the texter and driver, and let the ambulance with the girl drive to its own destination. There were to be no questions asked. With the amount of money they were given, why would they look further into things.
Division agents drove the ambulance to their rendezvous point. Paramedics declared the girl dead at the scene, so they didn't need to be in a rush. They took their time placing the girl in their own van, and putting the decoy body in the ambulance. No one asked how Division acquired a look alike dead body for the last minute mission. No one even asked what the girl did to be recruited that way. The agents did as they were ordered without pushback, well aware of the consequences they would face if they disagreed.
The girl was brought to Division without problem. Although Michael had recently been promoted to handler, Amanda and Percy said they would welcome her. Nikita had a rough experience being recruited and needed to be calmed and assured. Michael thought the excuse was slim, but he didn't argue. As Percy and Amanda entered her room, Nikita opened her concerned brown eyes. She appeared groggy while she regarded them, almost like she wasn't quite processing what was occurring. Amanda took pity on her, smiling a too sweet smile and nearing the cot. She began to tell her everything she needed to know about Division and why she was there, when Nikita lunged. The teen was lightning fast; she scratched at Amanda and bolted out the door. Percy simply stood by and watched; things were about to become very interesting.
It took a handful of guards and some sedatives to calm Nikita down. But she didn't stop hurting people and trying to escape until Percy and Amanda showed her the training room. She wasn't kidnapped, she was recruited to serve her country. She attempted to fight them on the statement. However, their confession of how she came to be in Division shut her up. Her mother hid her away after being a witness to an assassination. It wasn't the first time she had done so. After all, she was adopted to keep her father's infidelity underwraps. Percy told Nikita she only had her mother to thank for where she was and what she was going to do; she should think about that before trying to escape again.
Although that worked in halting Nikita's attempts to run away, she continued to be a hellion. She snarked and berated and tormented her trainers. Michael was the only one to get through to her. No one knew what he had told her or what she had begun to think, but after that she appeared to settle. She was still defiant, but she rapidly became the best recruit Division ever had. When she was promoted to agent, her stardom continued. For six years, she outshone on missions no one else had been able to do before. Despite her sarcasm and lack of attention to rules, Nikita was a spectacular agent. Division couldn't have trained better.
Or maybe they could have. Things began to fall apart the instant Nikita was transferred to Chicago. It was supposed to be a great tactical move for Division. Instead, their best and brightest fell in love with a civilian. Her true feelings about the black ops unit began to show. She despised the life they had given her and what they had taught her. She wanted out, to return to normalcy and love. Division couldn't have that, they needed their agent. So they killed her fiancé, and brought Nikita back into the fold.
That was the worst decision Percy and Amanda had ever made. Because of that action, Nikita ran; she faked her death and disappeared for three years. No matter what they did, they still lost her to Daniel. Division thought it was the end of it, especially Michael. She got her freedom and she was going to stick to it. Her former handler prayed that was what she was planning on doing. He didn't search for her despite his orders; he wanted her to stay away and happy- he needed her to be happy.
Nikita came back though. She tripped the silent alarm and sensor at both her father's and her fiancé's graves. Division had been so preoccupied by their new recruit, Alex, that they almost missed her. But she made her presence known. She captured Birkhoff, her former close friend and ally, telling him her idea to burn Division. It was over. Nikita didn't kill Birkhoff, however, she just let him go (with a parting gift of a listening device on his molar). She ruined mission after mission for Division, and nobody could touch her. She was using everything they taught her to burn them to the ground. Percy and Amanda were going to feel her wrath.
Much to Division's hatred, Nikita had a team helping her. She had a mole inside their ranks they frustratingly couldn't find, and a corrupted former guardian, Owen. She also managed to seduce a CIA analyst, Ryan Fletcher, on her side to dig into any information and be a thorn in Division's operations. She desperately wanted her revenge for what they did to Daniel and what they did to recruits and agents. She believed if she defeated their evil the world would be saved and she could live in peace.
Somehow, she forced Michael to believe the same thing. The two were running and gunning their way to what they thought was right. Yet Percy caught onto their actions. He played them, unraveled their game. He was shocked to discover Nikita's mole was Alexandra Udinov. Apparently she hadn't always been the perfect agent; she saved a target's life. Well her rule breaking would be her ruin. Percy and Amanda were going to use Alex against her.
The plan should've worked had it not been for the bond between the women. Once again, Nikita's death was faked and she turned against Division. She destroyed Percy's operation to take over the CIA. She saved agents and fucked everything up. She even got Michael, his right hand man, to attack him. Stealing the black box full of secrets, he left Division for good. Everything Percy had built was crumbling to pieces. He thought he had manipulated Nikita and Michael with their families; he had used revenge and hurt feelings to mold them under his will. Except they rebelled.
Their rebellion cost him severely. Amanda took Division from him, and Oversight let it happen; he was locked away on their command. Percy could see the excitement on Madeline's face at the idea of him gone. She had hated him ever since he had taken Nikita from her. However, he wasn't going to go quietly into the night. He'd find his way back to the top. His first step would be to kill Nikita and finally get rid of Oversight. Fortunately, he had set up the perfect piece to enact that plan years ago- a mother's undying love for her daughter.
