Disclaimer: I Don't Own Nikita

A/N: So I started writing this when I saw the commercial of Guardians with Owen and it was being all misleading looking like Owen was sent by Nikita to help Alex. Uhhhhhhh. I'm over it. Of course that didn't happen. That's why we have fan fic right? So this def goes in its own way. I always liked the idea of Owen and Alex. But then Sean came in the picture and I'm all "Oh crap, I like him." So this fic is my way of exploring both. So here it is let me know what you think.

After Nikita left, Alex called Sean back and apologized for abruptly hanging up on him she blamed it on having a bad signal. Sean didn't sound like he fully bought it but he still acted like he needed for her to tell him where she was. So she told him. Owen was being annoying watching her every move the whole time.

"So, now that Nikita is reassured you can go."

"I don't think so Anastasia."

Alex gave him a deathly glare and said, "Do not call me that!"

"Whatever you say princess."

Alex huffed loudly clearly annoyed and then she went to get her gun ready.

"Whatever, just stay out of my way."

"I don't take orders from you, princess." Owen said amused.

Alex cocked her gun and said, "Don't call me princess."

Then a knock came to the door.

Alex quickly looked through the peek hole on the door, her eyes grew wide.

"Oh, crap he's here already." Alex said starting to get nervous.

"He has a tracker on you, he probably was here the whole time. " Owen suggested.

"That's not good if that's true he could have gotten Nikita." Alex said.

"Not likely." Owen replied.

"How can you be so sure?" Alex asked worried.

"Cuz she's Nikita. There's no way this soldier boy has caught Nikita, she must have eluded him. So are you going to answer it? Or do you just want me to get rid of him?" Owen asked a little too eager.

"I got it, just go in your room or something." Alex said.

"Fine but I'll be right here if you need anything. The code word should be Anastasia if you need me." Owen added with a smirk.

"Fine, just go." Alex said, not really having time to object his annoying code word.

Alex pushed Owen out of the living room and then she started to look at herself in the mirror and started to fix her hair.

Then Owen said, "You look fine, answer the door already, princess."

"Get out!" Alex yelled.

Then she opened the door, feeling self-conscious.

Sean looked up at Alex his facial expression looked torn down and worried. His penetrating eyes took her a back a bit. He looked at her with such pain. He was really truly worried about her. She could tell, at least that was genuine.

"Alex, are you OK?" Sean asked.

"I'm fine, really." Alex said as calmly as she could.

"Good." Sean said as he was trying to hide his emotions in his stoic facial expression.

"Thanks, so do you want to come in?" Alex asked.

"Sure." He said as he followed her in Owen's apartment.

He looked around and said, "How did you find this place?"

"It's an allies place. You told me if I ever find myself in trouble I should get back up, well that's what I did." Alex said.

"An ally?" Sean asked curious and on guard.

"Just a friend." Alex said simply.

"Would that friend be Nikita?" Sean asked.

"No." Alex said as she walked around trying to get back her baring's and treat this like a mission. She had to treat him just like another target.

She put a strand of hair behind ear ready to get her flirt on.

"So Sean are you here with Division?" Alex said.

"No, I came on my own. I took a jet." Sean said.

"Why did you come all of this way?" Alex asked and then she touched his arm.

"I think you know why." Sean said as he moved closer. Alex's breath hitched as he did. They became so close they were inches apart.

"What are you doing?" Alex asked.

"What I wanted to do for a long time." Sean said his raspy voice hit her to her core.

He then took her hand and kissed it softly. Tingles shot up her arms in tiny bursts.

After he parted his lips from her hand his hand still lingered on hers.

"Oh the taste of my own medicine is so bitter." Alex said with a mischievous smile.

Then she held his hand and then she took his other hand in hers and she pushed him against the wall.

"So, so bitter." She said in a hushed sexy whisper.

He grabbed her pulling her closer to him she came inches away from him her lips were so close to his they both came in for the kiss when they heard a loud cough.

Alex turned around to see Owen there as he said, "Sorry to interrupt."

He spoke in a bad Russian accent.

Alex moved away from Sean awkwardly.

"Really?" Alex asked annoyed.

"Who are you?" Sean asked.

"My name is Dimitri. I am Alex's body guard." Owen said.

Sean laughed, "Alex has a body guard. Really? Alex doesn't need a bodyguard. Buddy do you even know who you're dealing with here?"

Alex smiled at Sean's confidence in her. She didn't think she needed a body guard and she was happy that Sean agreed. Even though she knew he was playing her she did have a sense of respect from him. He respected her and her ability as a fighter. She felt like that wasn't an act.

"Of course, I do, Alexandra Udinov, daughter of Nicoli Udinov, my former employer. I was sworn to protect her and I don't break my promises." Owen said.

Alex was impressed how quickly Owen thought on his feet. It was a good believable cover. As long as Sean wasn't an expert in Russian accents they should be ok.

"So what Alex, you knew about him this whole time. Why didn't you mention him before?" Sean asked.

"I don't tell you everything." Alex said kind of upset he really did know so much about her life and until recently she didn't know much about his.

"Clearly, but you acted like you were in on this alone." Sean said slightly perturbed.

"She thought she was, she got caught, I rescued her. So yes, she does need a body guard."

Alex gave Owen the glare of death.

"Whatever, Dimitri." Alex said in a perturbed voice. While she admired him for thinking on his feet she was annoyed by the name he chose as his alias. It didn't pass her that Dimitri was the name of Anastasia's love interest in the Disney movie.

"Can you give us a minute?" Alex asked Owen.

"I don't know if that's safe." Owen said.

"Really?" Alex asked not believing he was there interfering. She had a perfectly good honey trap plan and he was throwing a wrench in it tactlessly.

"Really." Owen said.

Alex rolled her eyes.

Sean looked between a put off Alex and an amused Owen.

Then he said between clenched teeth, "Can you please give us a minute?"

"Fine, but I will be right there in that room, with the door cracked open."

Alex stammered and said, "Unbelievable."

Owen left dramatically as he carried his gun to the next room keeping the door open very wide.

Sean grabbed Alex arm and whispered, "You need to ditch this guy right now."

"Excuse me?"

"I don't trust him."

Alex looked up at him and said, "I know he can be annoying, but my parents did trust him."

"Like seven years ago and your parents ended up dead."

"Gee thanks for that Sean."

"Most of the people who used to work for your father now work for Gogol."

Alex bit her lip.

"He does work for Gogol?" Sean asked.

"He's loyal to my family." Alex replied.

"It could be a trap. He could lead you right into the hands of Sergey Semek." Sean stated worried, Alex wondered just how real his worried look was.

"I know, I don't completely trust him but he's promised to help me. You were right before about not doing this alone. I got caught before. I need him. He works for Gogol in turn he works for Semek he got me out undetected and he can do the same to get me in. I can finally do this."

"He could get you in and make sure you never leave." Sean said.

"If he planned on doing that then why save me at all?" Alex asked.

"Alex, come on, you don't even know him. You shouldn't do this alone but you shouldn't take unnecessary risks either. If you get help from anyone it should be from someone you trust."

"Trust? Like who? You?"

"Me? Or someone else."

"Like who? Nikita?" Alex said in kind of an accusing voice.

"Why not Nikita? You did trust her once right?"

"Yes, I did but it's not going to happen this time. So you can forget it." Alex sternly said.

"Fine, fair enough, but that doesn't mean you should walk into a trap without back up." Sean said moving closer.

"Are you offering?" Alex asked with a glint in her eye.

"I didn't come all of the way out here for my health. So will you have me?"

"What?" Alex asked.

"Will you let me be your back up?" Sean asked.

"Sure, if you can handle it." Alex said.
