A.N this song always made me think of Alex Rider so I decided to do a song-fic. Each bit of the song is a different storyline. Discaimer - I do not own Alex Rider or The Offsping.
Show me how to lie
you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one
is an art that's hard to teach
Alex lied once again to his unsuspecting housekeeper. Jack meant everything to him but he said the one word he knew broke her heart. 'I'm Fine'. Every time he broke his friend and family's heart he was turning against the monster that had started this. Blunt.
Another clever word
Sets off an unsuspecting herd
and as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet
Alex ran towards the crowd and it suddenly got quiet. He could hear his pursuers and copied the crowd when they fell into a line. He whispered to a man standing next to him "Is that a gun?" he said gesturing to the leader of the crowd who was one of his pursuers. Everyone heard him and saw that he was telling the truth. All hell broke loose and the crowd turned into a mob.
Now dance, f***er, dance
Man, he never had a chance
and no one even knew
It was really only you
Alex giggled, leaning against the tall figure of Yassen. He had just broken the man out of MI6. He heard his phone go off and he answered it. Blunt. The head of MI6 readily believed the fabrication that Alex told him. Yassen spoke once the phone turned off. "He never knew that it was really only you"
And now you steal away
Take him out today
nice work you did
you're gonna go far, kid
Jack was crying. Alex was gone again. Blunt had stolen him off to save the world once more. She was going to take him out otday to see a movie . But of course national security came above one boy's happiness and childhood.
With a thousand lies
and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
hit 'em right between the eyes
Alex was having a moral dilemma. He was trying to count how many times he had lied. Eventually Fox walked up to him, "Give it up Cub, it has got to be at least a thousand"
When you walk away
nothing more to say
see the lightning in your eyes
see 'em running for their lives
The innocents ran out screaming, they had seen the predatory look in Alex's eyes and a few unlucky people had seen him mercilessly slaughter the assassins. Alex walked away from the bloodbath. Wolf came up to him. Alex shook his head, he had nothing to say.
Slowly out of line
And drifting closer in your sights
so play it out I'm wide awake
it's a scene about me
Alex lay in bed and contemplated what he had done; the people he had killed today had done nothing wrong. He was moving slowly out of the light, away from Tom and Jack, and drifting closer to becoming like Yassen or Blunt.
There's something in your way
and now someone is gonna pay
and if you can't get what you want
well it's all because of me
Alex chuckled as he listened to the enraged screaming of the psychopath who he had locked in his own laboratory. "You Brat! You are getting in the way of scientific progress. You'll pay! Just you wait!" Alex laughed again "What upset because you cant get your way, cant use millions of innocent people as experiments. Well guess what. You cant do any of that all because of little old me"
Now dance, f***er, dance
Man, I never had a chance
and no one even knew
It was really only you
Alex sat in his seat for the ballet he had to watch. He saw the man he was to kill today, he snorted. 'Dance Fu**er Dance' he thought as the man leapt onto the stage.
And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
nice work you did
you're gonna go far, kid
Blunt stared at his young agent. "Well done Alex, nice work you did. You'll go far in this business" Alex's blank eyes stared back at him.
With a thousand lies
and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
hit 'em right between the eyes
Alex once again marvelled at Smither's genius. His disguise was perfect, even Mrs Jones had to look hard at him for a good few minutes before she worked out who he was.
When you walk away
nothing more to say
see the lightning in your eyes
see 'em running for their lives
Alex stared at Yassen; the man's cold, fearless eyes stared back at him. They suddenly lit up and, with a grin that sent most running for their lives, he hugged the teenage spy.
Now dance, f***er, dance
He never had a chance
and no one even knew
It was really only you
Alex stared at the body; he was one of Yassen's targets. Alex hummed before turning away. The man had never had a chance.
So dance, f***er, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you
As Tom lay dying he knew that he had brought this upon himself by being Alex's friend but Alex meant so much to him that death was worth it. His last thought as he drifted off was 'I never had a chance'
with a thousand lies
and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Alex stood and quirked an eyebrow and the thug before him. Before the man could say a word Alex hit him right between the eyes and watched as the man fell down with a satisfying thunk.
When you walk away
nothing more to say
see the lightning in your eyes
see 'em running for their lives
Alex stared down at Jack's grave. He dropped a blood red rose and left before her family could talk to him. He had nothing more to say.
Lord of the flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
hit 'em right between the eyes
Alex sat in his English lesson for once wishing that there was a global catastrophe that only he could solve. Lord of the flies was truly the most boring book and Alex couldn't help but think of what he would do in the boys' position. He did much better then them in his head.
When you walk away
nothing more to say
see the lightning in your eyes
see 'em running for their lives
Alex was alone. His family, Jack, had walked away and Tom had run for his life once he realised how much danger being Alex's friend was.
A.N I'm actually impressed with this. I did all of this at home in one day. now my friends will know why me actually FINISHING a fanfic is impressive.
