I'm not trying to get anyone's hopes up. I'm really not, but this has been nagging me for a while, so hopefully this time around I'm able to finish this story to its fullest potential! Depending on a few things, I might be back, but if not then, I honestly did try. So please be patient with me and I'll try to update whenever possible. I'm not promising anything though.

So happy readings! Also I might change a few things, but I don't know yet :/. But yeah, enjoy the 1st chapter!

Disclaimer: If I owned Alex Rider, it would have made my life easier xP

"Target in sight," said the SAS man into a disguised walkie-talkie. He kept an eye on the boy, he was watching while he pretended to be reading the newspaper.

The boy was fair-haired with dark brown eyes that were filled with too many secrets and mystery. He was busy working on his homework with a cup of coffee beside him. He didn't appear to know that he was being watched, but seemed like any other teenage boy just doing his homework at a café. In reality, he was watching the SAS man with wariness and was busily working out a way to lose him.

"Make sure not to lose him, Robin," Wolf growled to his unit mate while he guarded a possible escape route from Cub. Wolf had not liked finding out that Cub was actually a spy. Then again remembering Blanc Point, Cub was more than capable to do such a thing if he really wanted too. "You might want to stay on your toes while you're at it."

"Don't make him any more nervous than he already is," Snake's voice spoke through Wolf's earpiece. "It's bad enough that Fox told him that Cub will beat up his arse if he feels threaten or rather annoyed to be bothered."

"Don't forget the video we saw of him taking on full grown men," Eagle chirped in as Robin tried to ignore his teammates as he saw the said person begin to pack up his things with an annoyed expression on his face.

"He's packing up," Robin said to the arguing trio and slowly got up to approach Cub with an intent to keep him from running.

"Be careful," Fox's voice said as his old unit gave a short quick status of their locations. "Let him lead you, but don't fall for any of his acts."

Robin followed Cub at a safe distance, but close enough to keep from losing him. Cub annoyingly decided to go to a deserted part of the park up ahead. He kept his pace steady as he walked and once he reached a secluded area he put his backpack on the ground with a thud.

"Why are you following me," Cub asked coldly to Robin as he turned to face him with a glare and annoyed eyes.

"I was sent to escort you back to London," Robin replied honestly as he tried to gauge Cub's mood.

Cub narrowed his eyes on him and frowned. "Why would they send an SAS soldier and not some other agent," Cub asked him with puzzlement. "I'd expect to see Crawley or some other agent, not SAS."

Robin gave a tight smile. "It's for your protection, Agent Rider."

Cub icily glared at Robin making him shiver unwillingly. "I'm not their spy anymore, Soldier. Make sure to tell them that after you leave me alone."

"Tell him, it's urgent that he returns to London," Ben said to Robin through his earpiece. "Keep him distracted while we close in."

"Look kid, I got orders to take you back to London because of someone who decided to threaten your life," Robin said to him and Cub ended up stiffening up.

"Who threaten me," Cub asked him in a dead voice that made Robin think about how young Cub really is and how he acted older than any other adult he knew.

"I don't know who it is, but I know they're considered extremely dangerous."

Cub frowned before his eyes did a sweep of the area and they quickly narrowed as they landed on a couple of bushes. He glared at the bushes before he turned back to Robin.

"Tell your friends, they can come out now." He was smirking now as Robin heard dozens of cursing directed at Eagle.

Eagle slowly stepped out of the bushes and Cub's eyes gave a flash of surprise, but they harden immediately as he faced Robin.

"Should have known they would send K-unit," he said with annoyance as Eagle gave a sheepish smile. "I'm guessing you all have orders to drug me if I don't cooperate."

"Cub, we don't want to do this," Eagle said to him making Cub glare at him as Ben gave Snake and Wolf orders to stay out of detection while he talked to Cub.

"I-," Cub stopped talking as he spotted Ben and he cursed under his breathe.

"Hey Alex," Ben said with an easy smile that Alex scowled at. "I know this isn't what you want to be dealing with, but Mrs. Jones honestly wants you to be safe from harm."

"Who is threatening my life," Alex asked him with a glare.

"I wasn't told who it is," Ben said to him with a sigh. "I tried to get her to tell me, but she said I wasn't authorized to the information until you are brought in."

Alex's eyes narrowed as his mind raced to find possible leads as to who it might be. He didn't want to admit he missed the rush of adrenaline whenever he ran into trouble, but he missed it. He couldn't stand the regular everyday routine anymore because it made him feel more paranoid than thought to be normal.

"It's not some trick to get me to work for them again," Alex asked with suspicion and Ben shook his head. "Give me a day and I'll go back to London without causing any intentional problems."

"Intentional problems," Everyone asked with confusion, but started to wonder what the hell could the unintentional problems could be.

"I'm a magnet for trouble," Alex said with a shrug and sigh. "I'm sure Mrs. Jones explained this one part of myself."

Robin hesitated before saying, "She mentioned you have a knack for trouble, but said that you won't be much trouble if you cooperated."

Alex gave him a snort before grabbing his backpack and swung it over his shoulder. "Whatever way it pleases, trouble always ends up following me or I follow it."

"That's why she sent an SAS unit and not just an agent," Ben said to Alex as Wolf and Snake came toward them.

"Not just any unit or agent," Alex muttered as he grimly nodded at Wolf and Snake. "K-unit and ex-SAS soldier slash MI6 agent that has worked closely with me."

"She thought familiar faces would be better," Ben said to him with a smile that Alex didn't return.

"Don't know him," Alex pointed at Robin with a calculative gaze that made Robin think twice of the kid's age.

"Well K-unit needed a replacement," Eagle said with a grin. "After MI6 took our beloved Foxy, we needed someone to fill the void."

Alex smirked at Ben as Ben glared at Eagle for calling him, Foxy. Alex was in for an adventure and probably some headaches once he returned to London.
