A: Aberrant
"To go astray; to turn away from what is right."
Yassen Gregovich had told him to go to Venice, that he would find his Destiny there. All Alex Rider found at first was a Tiger intent on eating him. When that assassin, Nile, came into the room, Alex had been wary.
As he should have been.
When he had woken up in the flooding cell, he had been pissed. A now dead contract killer had sent him to his death, or so Alex had thought.
When the teen had been picked up by Julia Rothman, his anger had subsided. Julia talked about John and how she had loved him so, and in doing this, suckered Alex into joining SCORPIA.
He was an aberrant, ex-agent for MI6. He was also the youngest assassin to be trained for SCORPIA.
When SCORPIA had sent him to kill Mrs. Jones, he realized he couldn't be a part of SCORPIA for two reasons:
One, he was trained to be a spy.
Two, in his mind, he knew it was wrong.
But he pulled the trigger anyway. He missed on purpose though. He had seen the glass come up, knew what would happen. He wanted to miss, wanted to fail SCORPIA so he could join MI6 again.
He wasn't meant to be aberrant; Alex's sense of right and wrong was too strong for that.
So when he took down Invisible Sword and Dragon Nine, he ignored the feeling of irony, because, in a way, he was being aberrant to SCORPIA.
For once, he was glad he had opposed to his 'Destiny.'
