Nikita tilted her head with a smirk at his threat. “You say that, but we both know if I needed the help, you’d come to my aid. Plus do remember I can be a real nightmare when I set my mind to it,” she teased with a bit of an innocent shrug. Though Birkhoff probably knew better than anyone around here how much trouble she could cause when Nikita wanted to bring trouble. Alex had a small idea; however, she was never with the adults area when everyone was trying to take her down like Birkhoff. It was fun to give him a hard time cause both knew it wasn’t anything serious.
The way he sounded about Mal, Nikita knew it well cause that was how she had felt about Alex. Alex was a tough one who could handle herself, but Nikita always worried about her and wanted the best for her, which sometimes came with putting her nose places it didn’t belong or getting Michael to do it for her. “I get it. At the same time, and I know this is rich coming from me,” she quickly pointed a finger at him, “so even say a word towards calling me a hyprocrite and I’ll hurt you. But try talking to her or maybe do a whole boyfriend coming over for dinner type thing?” Nikita was still going to do as he asked, but she was also going to offer up advice the best she could around the situation.
“Like I’ve learned sometimes they need to walk down that path and learn the hard way. It sucks, but only way they learn.” Which had been the hardest thing for her when Alex was against her and helping Amanda; however, she understood it was her own fault and Michael had made her see this was something she had to let go. “You just make sure to be there for her if it happens.”
