[NIKITA]
While Qiao and Carrie were at Pavlenko doing God's work on Nikita's behalf, the man in question had finally decided to go see his people. He had gotten them to show up back home, and now that they were here, he needed to be there to welcome them back.
Nikita knew they would be worried about him, and he also knew that no matter what he said or how he said it, there was just no convincing his legion that he was okay.
That was kind of like trying to make Maggie believe that he wasn't having a mental breakdown, especially when he had rammed into his gates. He had gotten Natalya to tell him the truth, and that had put his mind at ease, but now, he needed to be the father to his people.
All of them had flown back to Russia in the past few days, and right now, the whole legion was in Todorov and at the base.
