Repeating Doom
Disclaimer: I don't own Alex Rider, Anthony Hozowitz does.
Alex Rider appears in England once again to work with the people who ruined his life to stop Jack's murder. One-Shot showing Alex's life after Scorpia Rising.
The last time anyone saw Alex Rider in England, it was at the airport, but now, at eighteen, he stepped down from the steps to the CIA's private jet and crossed the remaining distance to the hanger.
After three years with the Pleasure's, the CIA director himself showed up on Alex's doorstep. He didn't use the 'persuasive' way MI6 had, which earned him Alex's respect.
Bryne knew Alex would always be a spy; looking over his shoulder unconsciously, thinking every question through until the answer came out half true, and having unreasonable reactions to any psychical contact.
And this time, no one would be employing a minor as Bryne waited a month after he turned eighteen to walk up the sidewalk to the Pleasure's cherry red door.
He was now back in London to work for the people who made his actions so spy-like, MI6.
The only way he agreed is that Byrne put him in charge of the operation, so he didn't have to accept any unexpected mission to space.
He was greeted by the front of MI6's helicopter and he quickly sidestepped it. He walked up to the soldiers and agents who were creating a semicircle around the whiteboard with writing on it that was in the center of the hanger and didn't bother with introductions as he told them exactally what to do.
"Alfa team enters here, Beta enters after, Gamma, go to the other enterance. You'll all have Delta team on standby, but their initian mission is taking out Razim*." they all nodded, either not minding taking orders from an eighteen year old, or not in the mood for a lecture on how age eighteen doesn't include being shot in the chest or working for MI6. Alex decided they were a smart lot.
He turned to the SEALs, "You're going in by water, you know the course." he turned back to face the whole semicircle. "Any questions?" he asked, not expecting any.
"Just one, sir." an SAS solider replied, shocking just about everyone.
"And that is?"
"Who are you?"
Alex smiled, "Agent Rider of the CIA." Then he turned and walked to the Humvee he decided was his. K-Unit followed, knowing Alex was Cub from their private meeting with Sergeant and climbed in the back while Alex took the driver's seat.
He turned the keys he found on the seat into the ignition and, over the engine noise, yelled,
"Let's go! I have a reunion to get to!"
*Razim, if you didn't remember, is the enemy in Scorpia Rising, the last "official" (air quotes) book in the Alex Rider series about Alex.
