Mirage - 10
Nikita stood next to Elena, watching her. She had her eyes closed and let the sun shine directly on her face. She inhaled deeply and smiled. "Thank you."
Nikita was glad that she had brought Elena out. Sure, it was against protocols, but in this case... she was aware of the risk- Elena couldn't defend herself, nor did she have a gun. But to see her smile alone was worth it.
She remembered perfectly the first time she'd been out of Section, with Walter. After three months underground she'd been sick and tired of her small room; she'd gone to Michael and had asked him about going out. The answer was a quick glance, a "Not yet" and she'd found herself in front of his closed office door, fuming. But Nikita had wanted out badly, at least for some hours and so she'd gone to Walter and flirted a bit with him- and he had taken her out for three hours 'survival training'. The look on Michael's face when she'd came back had been priceless.
"Where do you want to go?" Nikita asked Elena. She opened her eyes, seemingly surprised. "Where can I go? Can I buy something?" She wasn't too sure if she wanted to buy anything at all. After all, she'd woken up in a scary white room barely 36 hours ago... two days ago she'd been in prison.. it was all so far away it seemed almost surreal. But here she stood, nearly free to go everywhere and she wasn't going to miss one single moment.
Two hours later and Elena was exhausted. Her body still ached from her workout and Nikita had dragged her through the whole city by feet, or so it seemed. She'd shown her shops, parks, cafes, basically everything you had to know if you lived in this city. But did she really live here now?
Although Nikita had talked and explained a lot to Elena this day she'd managed to keep her emotional distance and to avoid all personal questions. But now they sat in a bistro, drinking coffee and she knew what Elena would ask her now.
Elena knew that now she could ask Nikita the question that had bothered her since Nikita's cool "Good morning" the other day. "Why are you here, Nikita?" she said finally. The younger woman stirred slowly in her cup and stared out of the window. She didn't even seem surprised.
"I- I mean, I wake up... and am in some kind of James Bond thing, just more... you know what I mean- but you of all people! I expected you to be the last person to be in a place like this." Elena gushed when Nikita stayed silent. Eventually she looked at her and sighed. "There's a lot you don't know about me or my past... but you aren't ready to know yet. One day I'll tell you all you want to know, but not now."
Now she got a little bit angry. Why wasn't she ready? What could possibly be so bad that Nikita couldn't tell her about it? Or was it forbidden to speak about such things?
Nikita took one last sip and stood up, thereby effectively ending their 'talk'. "Are you finished? Then let's go back again."
