[locked to Nikita] catching up

Alex wouldn't say it was like old times, too much had happened for life to ever go back to the way it had been, but training with Nikita was something she had missed, even if she hadn't realized how much until they had found each other in the madness known as Tabula Rasa. Having her partner with her for their daily run, pushing each other further and faster - it was more than just familiar.

Their run and the cool down that followed had led them to a usually deserted stretch of beach. Alex stretched out on her towel, letting the sun bake into her muscles while the ocean breeze dried the sweat from the run, and grinned over at Nikita.

"Better than a Division treadmill any day."
