"I know, but you know what I mean. Why did she send her man after us?" she asked.

"Revenge is a simple thing, I guess," he said, shrugging.

 

[celestialdragon]

"I suppose so," she said. "I never really understood the concept of revenge. I mean, getting even, sure, but pure revenge? I really don't. It's kind of a useless emotion."

 

[bindingeagle]

"well we're alive and things worked out," he said. "Let's go home."

 

[celestialdragon]

"After a nap," Alexis said, yawning and nuzzling into Nikolai.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai was right there with her and drifted off.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis woke up early and finished packing up their gear, dressing warmly for the weather outside before gently rousing Nikolai. "Nicky? Let's go," she said softly.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai took a longer time than normal to get it together due to his leg. He picked up his suitcase and said, "Let's go."

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and led them up the stairs, helping Nikolai along the way.

Nikolai laid back in the limo as they were driven to the airport. "What do you think we could get Lydia to do for us?" he asked.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Keep us in contact with Sergei and Georgia, maybe let us know what's going on there so we know whether or not to come back over. She probably has Mikhael's contact information," Alexis said, smiling.

 

[bindingeagle]

"I thought you were going to get her to look over stuff for us," he said. "Apparently she's good."

 

[celestialdragon]

"And then there's that," she added, smiling. "She'll be fine, she does sound extremely happy."

 

[bindingeagle]

"That's what counts," he said as they pulled up. He left the baggage to an attendant this time.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis smiled and helped Nikolai into the plane and propped him up on the couch, making sure he was comfortable.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai found a way to prop his leg up and got a glass of wine before the plane took off, pouring Alexis a glass as well.

 

[celestialdragon]

"Thanks," Alexis said, sitting down next to him and sipping her wine.

 

[bindingeagle]

Nikolai laid back onto his pillow and fell asleep, trying to stave off jet lag.

 

[celestialdragon]

Alexis kept an eye on him while she did paperwork, sipping on her wine as she did so.

When they touched down in Copenhagen for fuel, she woke him up. "Hey, do you want me to get some food?" she asked.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Sure, why don't you choose?" he said, half asleep still.

 

[celestialdragon]

She smiled and kissed his cheek before disembarking. She returned a few minutes later with huge cheeseburgers for the two of them. "Rusky, I'm back, come on," she coaxed him awake.

 

[bindingeagle]

"Wow, I didn't know you could get them that big outside of the states," he said, tucking in.

 

[celestialdragon]

"You should see the German ones," she said. "Plus, you can get a whole liter of beer to yourself." She grinned. "Did I do good?" she teased.

 

[bindingeagle]

"You did," he said, finishing his meal and kissing her. "How soon until we're home?"

 

[celestialdragon]

"A few more hours, it's about a four hour flight from Copenhagen to D.C," she said, smiling and kissing him back.
