A/N: Sorry for the slow update, but I have my awesomely thought out excuses! One, I currently have a fever that I will not use medicine to get rid of, so any ideas to break it is welcome. I also have been reading the last book, Russian Roulette, which is really great. Another thing is that I have been really tired from the fever I mentioned before so all I want to do is sleep sleep and sleep.
Anyways, if you have not yet noticed, I changed the summary, since I am changing the plot. Sorry for the long message too.
Ben's POV
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Alex's jaw tense, which could mean that he is either really really pissed off, or really really annoyed. I'd go with the former though, considering what Jones just said.
"You really expect me, a fourteen year old child, who was just tortured by SCORPIA, to go to a SAS training base WITH my old unit, who just so happens to hate me?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND JONES?! Never mind, don't answer that." Alex shouted this loudly and clearly with his voice gradually rising until he was full out screaming.
"Alex, you must understand that this is for your own safety."
"Safety, my ass."
As Jones frowned dissaprovingly at Alex's language, I stepped in with a quiet and respectful tone.
"Ma'am, we will go as long as Alex gets to have a private tutor there to help him catcvh up on school."
"Deal."
"Hey, don't I get any say in this?"
Ignoring the teen, I nodded respectfully to my boss, and left while dragging Alex with me, being careful not to pull on his injuries too much.
Two day later...
Cub's POV
We finally arrived at the camp, where we, meaning me, K-unit, and Ben, went to the Sergeant's cabin. Wolf gave the customary knock, which was replied with a gruff 'come in'. We saluted the sergeant as we walked in, waiting for the command allowing us to relax.
"At ease, men." We relaxed slightly but were still ready for anything' just like how we've been taught.
"Cub, Fox, K-unit, welcome back. You have the rest of the day off to get 'reacquainted'. Your timetable is on your door. Cub, your tutor is going to be joining you for dinner, that's where you'll meet him. '6 has informed me that he has enough skill to be a part of your unit, so you are now a seven person unit. Dismissed."
Saluting, we walked out of the cabin, and into our own, taking out timetable with us. K-unit were actually happy to see us, despite the appearance. They had gotten over the shock of Be-Fox turning to the 'dark side' and me being the world's youngest and best spy instead of being daddy's little boy. They are actually quite bearable now, which translates to us being super close and them being overprotective of me.
"So, we have the rest of the day off, anyone wanna play poker?" I asked this hoping I could win some money off of them.
With that said, we started a game of poker. I noticed everyone cheating, Eagle was the worst who was constantly caught. Snake wasn't caught as much but still was. Wolf and Ben were amazingly equally good cheaters, but I was the best, since I learned how to do it when I was seven. We played until dinnertime, and by then I had won at least $200.
when we walked into the mess hall, it suddenly got quiet. Everyone was staring at me and Fox who just didn't belong here. I was used to the staring by now, so I just walked to the line, and the others decided to follow my lead. Once we sat down and started eating, the chatter mostly started up again. I waited for the confrontation that never happened. My guess is they were all here when I came here the first time or they have heard of me before, or they simply don't care.
During the middle of dinner, the door opened revealing a singular form. From what I can tell, no one else noticed, and whoever did just ignored it, including me. There were plenty of people who came in late due to having something to finish. I realized my mistake when a plate plopped down onto our table and a body sat down on the formerly empty chair. K-unit having seen me go silent, looked up as well and gasped. The other units nearby having heard the gasp also looked up and quieted. And so it continued until the whole room was qpsilent and staring at the world's number one assassin who was supposed to be dead,
Yassen, having noticed this, stood up and said in a quiet but audible and clear voice, "Yes, I am yassen. No, I am not dead, I am very alive as you can see. Yes I am in your camp. No, I will not kill you. All I'm here yo do is be a private tutor for Litt-"
Knowing he was going to say 'little Alex' I quickly whispered, 'cub'. I couldnt let them know I was the Alex rider, there has been rumours flying around about me. Weather he heard it or not, I don't know, he just continued like nothing happened.
"le Cub. That's all I was told to do, but listen to me when I say this. Your sergeant does not want me here, I do not want to be here, if you give me trouble, I give you trouble. Simple as that. And trust me you won't like it. And by the way, my codename is cossack." And just like that he sat down and started eating.
There was so much tension in the room, I'm sure even a five year old would've noticed. Luckily for us though, just at that moment, the sergeant called for us through the intercom.
"K-unit, please report to the Sergeant's cabin ASAP."
After the customary knock, come in, and salute, he got down to business.
"Ahh, I see you have met your seventh member, hope you had enough time to bond and get over the shock."
"K-unit, the Americans have decided to send us a Navy Seals unit. I am pairing them up with you, so make sure to show them up. And before you ask, no I did not know they were sending over a unit, they bloody didn't inform me until an hour ago. They will do everything you are doing. They arrive tomorrow at 0500 hours. Be sure to meet them at the front gate and report to me once they have arrived. Any questions? No? Good, dismissed."
And so, the next day we woke up at 0445 hours and got to the gate at 0457 hours. Two minutes later we saw a jeep in the distance with four people. Getting out we all introduced ourselves to the Americans.
"I'm Wolf, unit leader. This is Snake, Eagle, Fox, Cub, and Cossack. We are the only seven member unit, now who are you?" We each nodded when our codenames were said.
"This is K, our medic, L, explosives expert, M, linguist, and I'm N team leader. Isn't he a bit young to be in the SAS? And you do realize that you have a supposed-to-be-dead assain as well right?"
A/N: So, I left you with a slight cliffhanger. What do you think of the twist I added? It isn't anything at all like what my suammry said, so sorry about that. Don't forget to review, I need to know what you think and if there are any mistakes. Thanks for reading!
