AN: Wow... You people are awesome!!! I looked at my email, and I nearly fainted!!! So many people read this, and so many reviewed! Thanks so much! This chapter is shorter than the last one, and for that I apologize, but the next one is longer... I think...
Disclaimer: I checked every single page of Stormbreaker. Nowhere did it say that I owned Alex Rider. *SOB*
A Coincidental Relative
Chapter Two
Might as well have fun with it!
Alex gaped at the man who had just sat down at the kitchen table.
What the bloody hell was happening?
Jack turned around and answered, "Dinner is grilled cheese and ham sandwiches with tomato soup, and leftover salad."
Two rubbed his hands together eagerly.
Alex stared at him, and then instead of hyperventilating, he began planning on how to reveal himself in the most flamboyant, funny, and casual way that would make Two confused, and fuming.
He then decided on a plan, but it would only work in a certain circumstance, before he realized that he had been delirious when he had made the plan and it would never work…
But maybe…
No… That wouldn't work…
Alex began planning again, but couldn't find a solution.
Meanwhile, Jack shoved a plate in front of Two, and then sat down herself.
They ate in silence for a few minutes before she took a deep breath, and began to speak. "Um… Two? Well, I'm not exactly alone in this house…"
Two took a deep breath. "So… you're married?"
Jack looked shocked, and then wrinkled her nose. "No! I mean, there's a kid who lives here…" (1)
Two nodded thoughtfully. "So… how old is the kid?"
Number One took a deep breath. "He's fourteen."
Two gaped at her.
"F-fourteen?"
Then he nodded. "Okay… then when do I meet the guy, and is he anything like you?"
Jack looked confused, and looked at Alex for help.
Alex smirked, and started signing what was happening.
First, he put two fingers up for Two, then he put tapped on against his temple, for thinks.
He then spread his legs, and put on a painful, and stressed expression, before removing something from between his legs and rocking it back and forth with a serene expression.
He then dropped the serene mask, and pointed to himself urgently.
Then, after a few repetitions, Jack's eyes widened, and she winked slyly at Alex.
"No, he looks like his father… He died when Alex was just a baby… Poor guy…"
Alex burst into silent laughter at the look on Two's face…
Two patted Jack on the back.
Then she motioned for Alex to come down, as she was quickly realizing that she could not keep the charade by herself for much longer…
He skipped down the stairs and stood in front of Two.
Alex smiled at Jack, and grabbed an extra plate while loading it with food.
Two stared at Alex unbelievingly.
"Uhh… One, how old is Alex again?"
Alex raised an eyebrow. "I'm fourteen years old…"
Two choked on his sandwich. "Oh… Okay…"
Alex nodded.
The charade went on for a few minutes before Alex asked casually (relishing the chance to use Jack One's real name without being brutally murdered.). "So Jackie told you that my parents died when I was a kid, right?"
Two choked on his salad, and then rubbed his throat. "Uh… Yeah, but… Wait, isn't One your mom?"
Jack and Alex both gaped at Two, before saying at the same time, "God no! What made you think that?"
Two gaped at them before excusing himself to go to his room.
The second he left the room, Alex and Jack burst into laughter.
After quite a few minutes of laughing their heads off and falling out of their chairs, only to slide back into them and to fall out again, Alex excused himself to go up to his room.
He finished his algebra homework, and then went to sleep, all the time plotting how to reveal his identity.
Alex's tired brain managed to give a wonderful idea before retiring for sleep.
He would put it into action tomorrow.
Two laid on his bed thinking about the day, and sighed.
He was glad he had called One.
Even if she had made him think that Alex was her child…
At least she and Alex had senses of humor…
Speaking of the boy, he had looked vaguely familiar…
Two couldn't place where he had seen him, or when, but he knew that he had seen him, or someone who looked very much like him…
After a few more minutes of quiet thinking, Two shrugged his shoulders and focused on falling asleep.
He had a big day of unpacking tomorrow.
Alex timed his plan perfectly.
He had already dressed, showered, and eaten.
While Two was just walking out of his room, yawning.
Alex pushed him from behind, making him jump. "BOO!" He shouted.
Then Two turned around, and jumped once again.
He hadn't even heard Alex coming…
Alex walked towards the front door, turning to shout a sentence at the man.
"Bad reflexes! Wolf would be ashamed!"
Eagle hung his head before thinking, He's right… Wolf would be furious…
And then, something dawned on him.
How did the kid know about that?
Then, his eyes widened, and he cursed.
OH SHIT.
AN:
(1): The following part is sort of the same as Yassen IS SEXY's fanfic, What? It's a great fic, but I wrote this scene a while before that chapter was published…And I'm not claiming it… I already talked to her, and she's fine with me using it… After all, great minds think alike!
Sorry it's so short… I just had a few things I wanted to fit into this one, and I have a plan for the next chapter, so those things couldn't go here…
Well, were you expecting that? Haha… I just thought that no one wrote about Jack having a sibling before, and never had I heard of someone writing a story with EAGLE as the brother!
I had the last scene planned a little differently, but then I realized that it was extremely OOC… So I decided to change it…
Please review and tell me what you think! And, I want to know… Who should find out about Alex next, Ben (Fox), Wolf, or Snake? I can't decide… VOTE!
Begging for Reviews,
Marie
PS: I'm having a problem... I'm not getting any alerts... I know this, because I checked the archive, and it showed a few stories that were on my alert list, but I didn't get an email... Is anyone else having this problem? And does anyone know why?
