"Hey." Michael called to Alex as he through her the keys to the her new car.

"What...This is mine?" Alex asked looking at the keys.

"First car, huh." Michael questioned.

"That's so cool." Alex marveled at the keys like a child. Michael smirks.

"Come on we need that other key to get inside." He tells her as they walk inside. Alex puts the keys in the door then hears the door behind her open. She looks to see a guy around her age. He smiles and looks and she smiles back. Michael sees Alex already looking at him and coughs lightly to get her to open the door. Alex gets the hint and opens the door. Her eyes light up at her apartment. She explores all over and finally stops after she looks in the fridge.

"It'll do." Alex tries to hide her excitement. Michael smiles.

"This is your cover kit, and the bag belongs to..." Michael waited for Alex to finish.

"Alex Winslow, I know what I'm doing Michael." She told him assuring she would be fine without him. Michael sighed.

"Remember, It's okay to have a cover boyfriend but, you can't get too attached." Michael reminded Alex.

"I've heard this a million times Michael, I'll be fine." Alex tried to convince him. Michael nodded and started to walk to the door.

"Michael wait..." Alex called him back. He turned around and looked at Alex with a straight face.

"What do I do?" She looked confused at Michael.

"You can be normal... do what normal people do. I wouldn't necessarily book a flight to Monte Carlo, but you can take a walk, go shopping." Michael explained to her how her new life would work. Alex smiled.

"Thanks." She said as he smiled back and left. Alex waited then called Nikita.

"You made it..." Nikita smiled at Alex as she walked past the aisle she was in. They both smiled and hugged each other.

"I called as soon as I was alone... and I used a clean phone." Alex said pulling away from Nikita's hug.

"Good, we'll use burners from now on... switch them out every week." Nikita said handing her a burner phone. Alex nodded. They smiled at each other trying to take in the fact that they were face to face again and finally able to talk to each other without code.

"Keep shopping..." Nikita pulls her smile away. "and be careful." She warned Alex about the cruelty of Division. Alex just smiled back.

"I know, Nikita." She smiled and started to walk away. "I'll be at home." She called making Nikita smile slightly.

Alex walked to her apartment with her hands full of grocery's.

"Hey... You need some help with that?" She heard her neighbor call from behind her.

"Oh no, I got it." Alex insisted as the man helped her anyway. They went inside her apartment.

"I'm Nathan by the way." He said putting down the grocery's. "I saw you moving in with your boyfriend earlier." Nathan looked at Alex starting to take the grocery's out the bags.

"Alex, he's not my boyfriend by the way." She breathed as she unloaded the grocery's. "My boss." She finished by putting the last jar of marshmallow fluff on the counter.

"Wow, six jars of marshmallow fluff..." He smirked.

"I... I'm the worst shopper..." She explained to Nathan.

"It's okay, I only have one jar stashed away." Nathan replied looking at the jars.

"You should try it with peanut butter on wheat, it's addictive." She suggested. Nathan laughed.

"Hey... I know this is a little sudden, but you should come over. I don't know that many people so maybe we can get to know each other." Alex smiled at his offer but then remembered her situation.

"I can't... work." She explained to him

"Oh, what do you do?" Nathan asked her.

"I... I'm a Youth Trend Consultant for a Gorilla marketing company..." She remembered talking to Michael about it just a couple hours ago. "What about you? You got a job out here?" Alex asked before he could react to her job.

"I'm a DJ." He told her. "I could..." Nathan was cut off by the ringing of Alex's phone. Seeing the restricted number she answered.

"Hello?" She said with the phone to her ear. When there was no answer she knew it was Nikita. She hung up then looked at Nathan.

"Sorry, I have to go." She apologized then picked up her burner phone from the counter.

"It's fine, I should get ready for my gig tonight anyway. I guess I'll talk to you later." Nathan suggested walking toward the door.

"Yeah..." Alex said walking next to him.

"Bye." He finished and walked to his apartment.

"Bye..." Alex uttered as she shut the door. As soon as she did this she dialed Nikita's number.

Nikita picked up but waited for Alex to say something. "Hey, You called, right?"

"Yeah, I need you to do something for me. Meet me at the store again in 15 minutes." Nikita informed her.

"Okay." She agreed then hung up.

"Here." Nikita gave a Alex a drive. "I need this uploaded to Division tonight." Nikita explained.

"Tonight?" Alex questioned looking at the drive.

"Yeah, is that going to be a problem?" Nikita asked looking at Alex.

"I... No. I'll take care of it." Alex assured and put the drive in her pocket.

"Alex, remember that a relationship isn't safe. Not only for you..." Nikita reminded her.

"I know..." Alex assured. "There is nothing between me and Nathan. It's all cover." She told her.

"Nathan, your neighbor?" Nikita asked. Alex's silence confirmed it. "Alex..."

"I know... I'll be careful..." She tried to convince her. "I'm going to Division now. I'll text you when it's uploaded." Nikita nodded then Alex left.

Alex put the drive into the slot, and when the icon popped up on the computer she hit upload. She waited for a minute then Amanda came in.

"Hello Alex, how's life on the outside?"

"Good, A little dull..."

"You really shouldn't estimate how big of a change this is, I imagine it's brought up a lot of different feelings. For instance, how do you feel about Nathan?" Amanda asked. Alex's fake smile turned into a frown, she didn't say anything. "We checked your tracker A few hours ago. Nothing out of the ordinary for new agents Alex, and we noticed you stopped by another unit in the building. Unit 302, you were there for a while..."

"He's just a neighbor..." Alex tried to smile again. Amanda smiled back.

"Well, I hope you know when it comes to these sorts of situations, you can comply to me. I'm a woman too. I understand the... Urge to connect." Amanda explained to her. Alex looked back at Amanda.

"Yeah well don't worry, were not 'connecting'..." Alex assured her. Amanda nodded.

"He lives in such close proximity to you it's not beyond the pale you two may get to know one another." Amanda told Alex. The drive Nikita gave Alex was almost done installing. "But remember, everything about your life out there, is just to facilitate what you do in here." Amanda reminded her with a slight smile on her face. Alex nodded with a fake smile on her face then Amanda left. As soon as she was gone Alex took the drive that was 100% uploaded and when she got out of Division, she texted Nikita who told her to go back to the store to meet her.

"What was on that drive anyway?" Alex asked looking at the rack in front of her. Nikita looked at the one in front of her and replied.

"You'll find out eventually... Alex, if you changed your mind about staying, I have no problem with..." Nikita was cut off by Alex.

"No, I want to stay..." Alex stated firmly Nikita smiled a little.

"Okay..." Nikita agreed.

"Is it okay if I head back now?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, I'm done with you for today." Nikita told her with a smile.

"Okay. I guess I'll..." She tried to end the conversation.

"Be careful Alex. It's even more dangerous when you're an Agent." Nikita told her.

"Okay... Bye, Nikita." Alex said as she walked out of the store.

"Bye..." Nikita muttered to herself and continued to look the rack.

Alex slowly knocked on the door, when she opened it she was face to face with the blond hair, blue-eyed man she couldn't help but fall for every time she saw him.

"Hey, I thought you had work..." Nathan said as he opened the door wider to see Alex's face.

"I did... but I was able to break free for awhile. I was wondering if dinner was an option." Alex explained to him and hoped she would get a warm welcome.

"Always..." He told her with a smile and let her inside his apartment. Alex sat at the table and waited for him to bring her a plate.

"So how did you wiggle your way out?" Nathan asked somewhat sarcastically.

"Nothing left for me to do. I would've been here sooner but I had to see a friend." She elaborated as she put her fork into the pasta.

"Who's your friend?" Nathan questioned as he took a bite.

"She just a Co-worker, well, she used to be..." Alex explained.

"Get fired?" He asked.

"Yeah, something like that..." She answered.

"So does she have a name?" He asked and took another bite.

Should I answer him? Alex thought. It's just Nathan, he doesn't know...

"Nikita..." Alex told him. Nathan's eyes widened.

"Wow... I love that name." Nathan said with surprise. Alex smiled back.

2 Hours Later

Alex was asleep on Nathan's couch. As soon as he noticed he carried her back to her apartment and laid her on the couch. He gently kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight, Alex.." He said to a sleeping Alex and walked out the door.

Nathan walked into his apartment and slowly dialed a number and hesitantly pressed call as he looked around his apartment.

"It's Nathan," He confirmed into the phone. "I need to talk to Ari. It's about the Division agent... she's more than an agent, she's a mole..."

AN: Hi! Soooo yeah let me know what you think of this in the reviews. Thanks! Byee! :P
