Blonde
Title: Blonde
Date posted: ---
Fandom: Alias
Disclaimer: The affair was not my idea.
Spoilers: Season Four
Notes: Poor Nadia.
The mission to Stockholm would be perfect for Nadia, and they all know it. She is as charming as her sister, as clever, as creative- yet it is Sydney who flies to Sweden with Vaughn on point to wear a blonde wig and giggle.
Nadia would not have passed for a Swede, not the look they were going for. As a child she had always assumed her parents were Argentinean, like she was. Her skin was was pale, which had others speculated meant that her family was Spanish (a blessing and a curse.) She had china hair and ojos del judía, dark and flashing.
She sometimes wonders what it would have been like, if she had been with one of her parents. Staying with her mother would have meant Laura Bristow, a different father, and a false full sister. She imagines this sometimes- mostly when Jack does the unthinkable without flinching for his daughter.
On the day of the Stockholm mission she slips into the room where they keep the alias gear- the dresses and wigs and jewlery and shoes.
She thinks of Emily, who she has seen a few times in pictures. She doesn't ask her father to talk about her, because he'll twist his wedding ring once and answer sadly and then fall silent.
Even in a blonde wig, she knows that while she could have fit into the Bristow family, but she could have never passed for Emily's daughter.
