For the past few weeks Nikita and Michael have spent almost all of their free time together. While trying to keep anyone at Section from finding out... They had not been sent on any missions together since Michael was taken. So they had a feeling that they knew something was going on...
Finally one day as Nikita walked into Section she was stopped by Madeline ..
"Meet me in Operations office in 5 minutes.You are to be briefed on a mission.."
When she walked into the office Michael, Birkoff, Madeline and Operations was already there.. She knew that she was not late.. But she could tell that Op's was mad... But the more she looked at him she could tell that he was not mad at her..
"Nikita , you and Michael are to leave on a mission the day after tomorrow.." Operations said.."There is a group that calls themselve the Justice League..Birkoff will fill you in on the Details.."
"We heard from an informant in Europe that the League is a freelance terrorist organization.. They are paid to kill . Right now their target is a man by the name of Thomas Michaels.. He has document on some of the top political figures in Europe... The officials want this information back...So they went to the League for help..... We also found out that we are there next target is Section."
"You are to be wearing disguises so that you will not be recognized..." Madeline said..
"How would they know us... We have never heard of them before."
Madeline did not say a word to Nikita's question..She just told them to be in her office on late Sunday night so get ready... They showed up right on time...
"Here. Put these on." Madeline said as she handed them two wedding bands..."You will be playing a husband and wife hit team... You will have to be convincing.. Not that I think that will be a problem for you two...Bauer said that believed that you were truely in love... Let's make sure that this works out the same way." Madeline said as she turned and escorted them to the door.."Be here at 7:00 in the morning and no later." With that they walked out..
Michael had went to take Nikita home but decided that he would stay for a little while.. It turned out that he stayed all night... So when they got up the next morning they decided that it would be a good idea to come in at different times so that it does not look like they had been together...
Once they were both there they were taken to a plane that left immediately for Europe. The flight landed about fourteen hours later..
As Nikita got off of the plane she still thought about what was said during the briefing. She still believed that there was something that they were not telling them..But tried to block it out of her mind...
They went to the hotel and unpacked some clothed to wear to a club that some of the League had been seen at.. They sat down and ordered drinks.. Hoping to see something from their seats... They could not so they decided that they would get up and dance so that they could look around the room...
"See anything yet?" Birkoff said from the van...
"Nothing yet Birkoff." Michael said as he looked down at Nikita....They could not really do alot of talking because Birkoff would hear... So they were quiet as Michael leaned forward and kissed Nikita on the lips....
Right about that time the song that they had heard a few weeks earlier as they finished making love came on .. It was Beyond the Invisible....Both of them noticed it as soon as it came on.. Their minds both went back to that night...It was a wonderful night...
Right about that time they heard a voice in their ear saying again,"Anything yet?"
Michael answered, "We were never told what they looked like .How will we know who they are?"
"All operations said is that when you see them you will know." Birkoff said...
"Well I don't see how we can know who they are when we have never seen them before. I have never even heard of...." Nikita stopped in mid sentence with her face turning white .. It was a combination of being upset and mad....
"Nikita, what is wrong? Are you o.k.? Nikita would not answer..
"Talk to me ....." Michael said...
Nikita softly said," They're here."
As Michael turned Nikita around to see who she was talking about.... He could not believe what he saw....I was the same group of men that had taken them a few weeks earlier... Along with them was the man that had held the gun to Michael's head....
"We have spotted them Birkoff.What do we do now?"
"You are suppose to get around them and act like you are just trying to talk to each other about a hit.. Let them hear you without being to obvious..."Birkoff answered..
"I knew that there was something that you were not telling us... Why would they not tell us... We would have been more prepared if we had known that it was them.." and for once Michael agreed.. He did not understand why they had not been told.... Was it going to be just like the last mission?
They walked over and got a table right beside where the group was sitting... They began talking, making plans for their next hit.. A man walked over and tried to listen without them knowing. But of course both Michael and Nikita knew.... After a while this man and and another man who had been sitting at the table got up and walked into a small room in the back. The man that had over heard Michael and Nikita talking told the other everything... Michael decided to get up and walk toward the bathroom.. He knew that at least one of them would follow him in... Nikita also had an idea that one would come to her...
Michael was right... After he had been in there for a couple of minutes one of the men came in..It was the one that had overheard their conversation...
"I heard what you were saying out there..
" Michael looked at him and said,"I have no idea what you are talking about.."
"I heard you talking about a hit that had been out on someone...And you were the ones that had to kill them.."
Michael turned and said "Then you should know to stay away.. You might just be
"I have a friend that you should talk to." You might like what he has to say.."
Michael agreed... As he walked out he saw that the man that had held the gun to his head was sitting there with Nikita....
" I think that you need to get up away from my wife." Michael said..
The man said back to him, "I was just telling her that we could use a couple like you on our team.."
"We work alone. We do not need any help from you..."
The man smiled at this and said," You are going after the little guys for a little bit of money... If you were to join us , I could promise you atleast five times what you are making now.."
"O.K. keep talking ..You have my attention.." Nikita said..
The man began to explain to then that they worked for alot of powerful people that want to stay in power... And that they are also hired by governments to take out certain people that are causing problems..."So what do you say?" The man said ..
Michael agreed...
Birkoff heard the whole conversation from the van.He notified the Section to let them know what was going on...
The man invited them to come to his house.. Michael leaned over and whispered in Nikita's ear," They will search us before we go into the house...We need to get rid of these wires.."
Birkoff heard this and knew that they were about to break contact.. And a couple of minutes later he could hear the wires being thrown in the garbage.....
When they showed up at the house. They were searched just like Michael had suspected. Their cover would have been blown and they might have even been killed if someone had known...
"You look familiar" one of the men said to Michael and Nikita.... He had stared at them for awhile..
As they went to their room that evening there was a knock at the door...It was the man that had talked to them earlier....
"I knew that I recognized you.... You are the ones that we caught a few weeks ago.."
Michael got his attention by calling his name. And as he turned around Nikita came and knocked him out. Then Michael turned and broke his neck. They did not know what to do with him at first... They decided to stick him in the closet...
The next day as they were sitting down talking, the man that had taken the place as leader. Sat down to them...
" My name is Peter Weller.. I am in charge of this group... I was told that you would be a good asset to us... Do you know what we do here?"
Nikita smiled and said "All I know is that we were told that we could get alot of money for doing this.. So when do we get paid?"
"Well you get right to the point, don't you. We need to talk first. We help people by getting rid of their problems..... But we also have problems of our own... Right now we are having trouble with a little place called Section One... And before we can get a hit on Michael's, we are going to have to get rid of Section..."
Michael and Nikita could not believe their ears..
" How do you plan on doing this?" Michael asked...." A while back we teamed up with a group that called themselves Red Cell"
Just the name sent shivers up Nikita's spine....
"They were taken out but they had given us a copy of Sections Directory as payment for the help that we gave them..We will take them out one by one if we have to , but I can promise you when we are through with them.. We will have no one to stand in our way.. We already have one right now.. He is a genius with computers... I believe that his name is Birkoff. We will keep him a little longer to see if we can get some information out of him...If we can't we will kill him.."
Nikita felt all the blood rush from her head to her feet..
Once they were alone they had decided that they would have to finish this sooner than they had expected..."We have got to get Birkoff out of there. He cannot withstand torture.. And we can't let him go through it even if he could."
Peter came up to them about that time and said, " I am about to go question this young man..Would you like to come and listen to what he has to say.. I do not think we will have any problems getting this one to talk.."
"Sure." Michael said... "I want to hear more about this Section One.."
As he and Nikita walked into the room they saw a terrible sight.. It was Birkoff.. He had been beaten severely.. His eyes were nearly swollen shut.. He had already been tortured.. But he had not given them anything. When he saw Michael and Nikita he knew that he was going to be o.k.
Peter said "He has already been 'questioned' and did not say a word... So there is no reason to keep him alive."
As he raised the gun to fire Nikita said, "Wait. Let me do it.."
She got the gun and walked up to Birkoff held it to his chest and winked at him...
About that time she turned around and shot Peter right in the heart.
They quickly got Birkoff loose and out of there...Then they took him to somewhere safe. Then they decided to go back in and finish the job.. They went up to there room and waited.. They were to finish up the next morning.. They had hid Peter's body but it would not be to long before it was found....
As they laid there in bed waiting for everyone to go to sleep, Michael just sat there and told Nikita to be careful. And then he sat there and held her for over an hour.. They knew that they had to get up and finish in the house, But they could not seem to let each other go..
Finally they got up and went through the house and bombs all throught the house.. And when the next morning came they asked if everyone would meet them at around 10:00 a.m. Which of course they would not be at..
Birkoff went back and got the van and had a couple of operatives with him in case something went wrong....
Most everyone was waiting fot them in the house... But when they did not come about five were sent out to find them... Right after they walked out the door the house blew up... They were blown about twenty feet away.. When they recovered from the shock they took cover...
Michael and Nikita and the other operatives got out and opened fire.... Three of the League men were killed right off... And as Michael told Nikita to take cover , she stood up just in time to be shot in the stomach..
Michael heard the sound of Nikita hitting the ground and when he saw her laying there he ran up to her screaming,"NO!!"
Nikita was struggleing for breath and Michael said
"Don't talk 'Kita. You will be o.k."
All Nikita could get out of her mouth was "I love you Michael...Never forget that....Then she went limp...
"Nikita, Nikita, NIKITA!!!!! Don't leave me now.... I don't think that I could make it without you.."
He then heard her take a big breath.. She was still alive...As he was about pick her up he felt a burning pain in his left shoulder.. He jumped up and shot the two remaining men. Then he turned his attention back to Nikita..
Even with his injury in his shoulder he was able to pick up Nikita and carry her to the van... As they drove away Michael took a look at Nikita's wound...It was bad..
"We have to get her to a hospital right away. Where is the agency located here? " Michael said..
"It is about ten miles away from here." Birkoff answered...
"Get us there now."
They got her there and was taken to directly to there operating room...Michael would not let them work on him... Just Nikita....When she was well enough to travel. They headed back for Section...
When they returned five days after the League was destroyed , they were all sent to Medlab......Only after Michael was told by the Doctors that Nikita would be alright would he let them fix his shoulder..... Birkoff had a couple of broken ribs and a concussion.. But he would be o.k.
Madeline and Operations had been told how Birkoff had been beaten and tortured. And that how he would not tell them a thing. They had no idea that he was so strong willed. They were very proud of him... They stayed and watched him for a little while before they left to visit Michael...
He was not in his room.... Madeline turned to Operations and smiled,
"I bet I know where he is at." And they turned around to go to Nikita's room..
Sure enough there was Michael sitting beside her bed.. He was asleep... The doctor said that he had not left her side for more that a couple of minutes in over three days.. They decided that they would come back later..
Michael stayed by her side.. After a week she had still not woke up. He would sit by the head of the bed and talk in to her ear real softly........
Later that night he had leaned over and said something else in her ear... It was a song... Their song...
~~~Close your eyes.
~~~Just feel and realize.
~~~It is real and not a dream.
~~~I'm in you and your in me.
~~~It is time to break the chains of life.
~~~If you follow you will see..
~~~What's beyond reality...
"Remember 'Kita, It is our song... It is exactly how I feel about you... You will always be in me..In my heart..It also says that we will always be together. I will never leave you ."
And he laid his head on the bed beside her after he kissed her lips. A small tear ran down his cheek and landed on her and dropped on her hand....
"Michael..." He heard a voice say very softly... "Miss me?"
He turned around to see Nikita staring right at him... He jumped up and kissed her on the lips.. He did not care who say it....
"It is about time you woke up." Michael said as he smiled at her... "I thought you would like to know that the Justice League had been completely taken out. We did it.."
Madeline and Operations walked into the room and said," You sure did.. I am very pleased with your work... "
It was very unusual to get a complement from Operations.. He then turned and walked out of the room...
"How are you doing, Nikita?" Madeline said... "We were starting to worry about you.. Birkoff asked me to tell you that he hopes you are o.k. And that he would be to see you soon... He is doing good... " I want the two of you to take sometime off together.. For about a week.." Madeline smiled...
"What about Operations?" Nikita said......
"You do not worry about Operations... I will take care of him.." She said as she walked out..
"So where do you want to go Nikita?" Michael said while he sat and held her hand..
"I don't care as longs as I can be with you.. I love you Michael.."
"I love you too Nikita.."
