Captured for Interrogation

"Could I go see him?" She asked, smiling.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Sure," he said. "I'll take you myself. He dressed and waited for Alexis to get ready.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis dressed in a pair of shorts and a tank top. "Ready."

Sergei led her upstairs where Nikolai was joking with the guard detail, sitting on the couch with his leg up. He had a crutch. "Morning, Snow Princess," he said, motioning her over. "They don't believe that you gave me a concussion," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Would they like a demonstration?" Alexis asked, sitting down on his good leg and kissing his cheek.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Any of you boys feeling lucky?" he asked, and one volunteered, looking cocky. It was clear he was a new agent and hadn't seen enough combat to know how to judge an opponent.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis stood up, analyzed, then gave him a roundhouse kick to the head, feeling it connect.

 

[bindingeagle]

Alexis felt his jaw shift out of place as he fell to the ground, clutching his head. Nikolai said, "Stop whining, at least she missed your temple."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and returned to Nikolai's lap, kissing him gently.

When the agent was taken care of, Sergei returned with breakfast. "What are we going to do about Georgia?" he asked.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I'm going to try my hand at diplomacy later," Alexis said, nibbling on her pastry.

 

[bindingeagle]

"That's good. After what happened last night, I wouldn't have expected it."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis laughed. "Trust me, neither did I. However, I think it'll be best."

 

[bindingeagle]

Everyone sat and ate breakfast quietly, and two of the agents cleared the room when they were finished. When they were alone, Nikolai said, "How are we going to work this?"

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis bit her lip. "Very carefully," she said. "Kind of like when you met my brother."

 

[bindingeagle]

"Ok, this is definitely your area of expertise then," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Of course. You're going to be the security," she teased. She hugged and kissed him. "Other than the leg, you're okay?" She asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Pretty much, just some bruising," he said. "Let us know what you need and we'll execute."

 

[celestialdragon]

"Thanks, Rusky," she said, smiling. She kissed him gently, but let him know how she was feeling.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai kissed her. "It's been rough, but we're finally almost finished," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled. "Almost," she said tiredly. She snuggled into him and closed her eyes.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai rested up against her, relaxing for the first time since they had gotten to the farm house.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis traced patterns on his chest, relaxing into him. "Last night was kind of scary," she finally admitted.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I never can seem to get there fast enough. I am so sorry for that," he said.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I'm not talking about the fight," she said. "I'm talking about drifting into subspace."
