Timeline: Estimating that the end of season 4 ended in the month of May, consider this to start in July of that same summer.
Summary: After suffering series of debilitating headaches and blackouts, Julian Sark takes a doctor-recommended leave from the second oldest profession in the world, espionage, only to be pulled right back into the thick of things at the arrival of a strange, scarlet envelope at his home. It contains intel concerning his longtime mentor, Irina Derevko, and there is only one other person who can help him find her. Sydney Bristow has left her life as a CIA operative to start a new life in anonymity after her sister, Nadia, is left in a coma and her fiancé, Michael Vaughn, is killed by Prophet 5, a mysterious terrorist group. She is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered existence when a familiar enemy and sometimes associate crashes back into her life. Reluctantly, they must work together to save something invaluably important to the both of them and in the in the process, maybe even save each other.
Author’s Note: It's almost the end, folks! Many long years and we only have this chapter and then chapter fourteen. Sad! I know it takes months and months for me to update, but I am going to miss this story and all of you very much. Enough of the maudlin crap, on with the story! This chapter features blatant (so, so blatant) homages to the movies "Kill Bill" and "Closer", Sydney vs. the hospitality manager, Jack and Irina play house, and some hot man on man action. Don't forget to check out the soundtrack!
