>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."
