"We should at least get food," he said. "I'll go get it. What do you guys want?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled. "Whatever is fine with me," she said, kissing Nikolai's cheek.

Angelica shrugged. "Just some soup for me," she said.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai came back with the food for the ladies and a burger and fries for himself. "Enjoy,' he said before tucking in.

 

[celestialdragon]

The two women smiled and began to eat, talking quietly in German, mainly Alexis keeping Angelica calm.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai wished he could speak German, but reminded himself that Angelica probably felt the same way about Russian.

 

[celestialdragon]

Soon, Angelica fell asleep, and Alexis returned to Nikolai's side. "She's scared, but determined to do it," Alexis said in Russian, speaking quietly. "Getting her to sleep was my main priority."

 

[bindingeagle]

"I don't suppose she had chemical help?" he asked suspiciously.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis looked up at him. "No, I didn't drug her," she said. "She's tired, and didn't want to go to sleep. I. . . persuaded her to sleep."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Ok," he said, sitting next to her and cuddling up. "She'll be fine," he said to reassure her as the plane took off. Soon he fell asleep.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and watched Nikolai and Angelica. When the plane began it's descent into D.C., she woke the two of them up.

Angelica woke up and watched the plane land, biting her lip.

Nikolai helped Angelica into the waiting car and then opened the door for Alexis. Even when he wasn't a slave, he was a gentleman. Then he drove to the base.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and kissed Nikolai's cheek. "Such a gentleman," she purred in Russian.

Angelica looked around, scared and nervous.

When Nikolai drove into the lot and parked, Alexis got Angelica out. "I'll take her in, you can follow behind," she told him. She walked with her to the door.

Angelica whispered, "Are you sure you can't come with."

"There's more for me to do, and I can't," Alexis said. "Just relax, and you'll be fine."

The guard stopped them, and they led Angelica away, after the older woman kissed the younger woman's cheek.

Nikolai put a comforting arm around Alexis' shoulder and led her off to the debriefing room.

 

[celestialdragon]

The debriefing was short and to the point, and the Director told the two of them to go home and get some rest. Alexis nodded and the two went back out into the car. She sighed. "Let's go home," she said softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai drove again to let Alexis decompress. He let them in and laid the bags out. "What can i do to make you feel better?" he asked.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis sighed. "I'm going to go take a nap," she said. "You're welcome to join me."

 

[bindingeagle]

"A nap sounds good," Nikolai said, He carried her in and laid her down under the covers before snuggling with her.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and snuggled into him, falling asleep quickly.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai waited until she was safe and asleep before falling asleep himself.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis woke up for a brief moment, but she cuddled closer to him and fell asleep once more.

 

[bindingeagle]

It was late morning by the time they woke up due to jet lag. He fixed a pot of coffee and waited for Alexis to pick breakfast.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis came out of the bedroom, still sleepy. "Potatoes," she said, grabbing a bag of potatoes, some seasoning and a frying pan.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Ok," Nikolai said, making steak fries out of the potatoes, knowing that that was her comfort food. He salted and plated them, handing her the ketchup.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis drowned her fries in ketchup before eating them, hungry.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai ate his fill and then cleaned up. "We need to relax you," he said. "I'm sending you to the spa."
