I don't own anything.
Alex looked at the man and woman in front of him and he stiffened. As a kid he always dreamed of this very moment meeting his parents, and though in his dreams he hugged them, and talked to them like no tomorrow, in the present Alex felt very awkward, and he didn't know what to do. Alex looked at the pair in silence.
When Alex looked at his father, John, it was like he was looking into a mirror. They shared the same blond hair, and brown eyes. John was taller than Alex by almost a foot, and his smile was infectious. Alex then looked at his mother, Helen. She had dark brown hair, which was long and wavy down her back and the sides of her face. Her face was pointier than Alex's but he did have her nose. Her eyes were a light and easy blue, and her smile was just as infectious as John's.
Alex shifted his weight onto the other foot. Helen threw her arms around him again, and kissed his forehead. Alex blushed slightly when she held him in her arms. After he was out of her arms, John brought Alex into his. He hugged Alex tightly to his chest, and smiled into his hair. Alex then felt John kissing his hair, and Alex's blush deepened. After he pulled Alex away, they watched each other carefully. Alex was the first one to talk.
"How do I know you're really my parents?" Alex asked, still feeling cautious. Why hadn't they stayed with him if they had been alive all this time?
"We can do a test if you'd like" Helen started, but Ian cut her off.
"How do you know? Alex trust me, they're your parents. Have I ever lied to you?" Ian asked and Alex turned his way.
"Yes, actually you have, about everything surrounding MI6, and your actual life. So, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I would like to have a test done" Alex said clearly. Ian shook his head.
"Alex, I really am sorry for getting you into this mess" Ian started, but Alex shook his head. It wasn't his fault. Alex sat back down, and was relieved when the pressure on his leg was let up.
"So, if you don't mind me asking, where have you been?" Alex asked still cautious of the two. "You too Ian. You haven't told me what happened."
"I'll go first then. It's not too long of a story. You know about my end of the stormbreaker mission" Ian started and Alex nodded.
"yes, but you didn't really die. I did see your car though" Alex said and Ian chuckled.
"Always curious" he muttered but then continued "I did not die, but I did get shot. When I finally came back around I quickly found out that Scorpia had kidnapped me. That's when I found your parents. We were all captured by Scorpia, and it was a wonder they didn't kill us all. We were there when you were, they made us watch you while they beat you. We finally got out about 2 months ago, and by got out I mean Yassen came and saved us. You had already escaped by the time we were let go. We all went to MI6, and after a few days of threatening Blunt, here we are" Ian said, making the story short.
"Why wasn't I informed two months ago?" Alex asked his voice hard.
"We tried to get ahold of you. Blunt had you off doing missions, we couldn't get you out of his hands. Finally we pulled enough strings within the system, and here you are. Finally. You are no longer a ward of the state either. You belong to your parents again" Ian said with a smile. Alex still wanted that test.
"So what about you two? Where have you been?" Alex asked, and Helen looked at him with compassion and she sighed.
"We never died honey. After our plane blew up, Scorpia captured us and took us into hostage. If it hadn't been for Yassen we would have died" Helen answered with a calm thankful voice as she glanced at Yassen.
"So, you've been at Scorpia this whole time?" Alex asked, quite nervous of an unwanted answer.
"Yes" John said quietly, and Alex pushed no further. He didn't want to push them into talking, he knew he wouldn't talk about his missions with anyone, so he knew the feeling of not wanting to talk.
"So, is this really a safe house?" Alex asked and Helen smiled.
"No dear. This is our home. MI6 has no control over you, or us anymore" Helen said with a soft, but proud voice.
"So what are K-Unit doing here?" Alex asked, glancing at the unit in question.
"We still might need the protection. I mean we are a family of spies. I'm sure we still have enemies out there. The K-Unit is not employed by MI6 either" Ian started and Alex turned his glance back to his uncle. "I worked with them for a little while on the Stormbreaker Mission. A connection grew, and I actually requested them from the training camp. We are paying them for our security" Ian said, and Alex nodded.
"Any other questions Little Alex?" Yassen asked, smiling at Alex from the corner of the room.
"Not at the moment no" Alex started, looked up at the ceiling for a brief moment, he thought of any other questions he could ask. Before his mind could find a question, a weight was covering him, and he squirmed slightly.
The adults in the room laughed as Alex struggled, unaware of what was happening. Had he been captured by Scorpia? Had this all been a plot just to capture and kill him? Suddenly something licked his face, and he looked down at the weight in his lap.
An adult German Shepherd looked up at him with a goofy face. The dog was a mix of gray and white, and had two different color eyes, one blue, the other a dark brown. Alex brought his hand up and pet the soft, neatly kept fur, and smiled.
"Bear" Yassen commented from the other side of the room. Alex looked at him, and Yassen had a smile on his young face. "That's not how you attack. Gosh, John you were right. This one is the goofy one" Yassen muttered. Bear licked Alex in the face again.
"How many are there?" Alex asked as John called Bear to the ground. The dog licked his face again before jumping to the ground and sitting at John's feet.
Yassen evily grinned as he moved from the corner. He moved the wooden table in the center of the hardwood floor, to against the other couch, where no one was sitting. He then glanced at Alex, his face questionable.
"Sit in the floor" Yassen said.
"Why?" Alex asked as he remained where he sat. Ian pulled him up by his wrist and smiled nicely at him.
"Just sit in the floor Alex" Ian said and Alex did as he was told. Yassen went away for a moment, and Alex felt silly sitting in the floor with K-Unit and the others watching. He went to get up but was stopped by his uncle.
He saw Yassen walk back into the room, and before he could ask what was going on, Alex had been knocked over onto his back by 12 German Shepherd puppies, all a mix of gray and white.
The puppies climbed all over him, and they were licking his face like crazy. Alex couldn't help but laugh. Then Bear joined in as well. Alex sat there laughing as 12 puppies, and 1 dog ganged up on him, and for a moment, he felt normal again. He felt like a kid.
Finally he got control over the situation and sat up. The puppies tried to knock him back again, but he saw it coming this time, so he stood his ground as the puppies played around him.
One finally settled down in his lap, and Alex sat petting it with a soft smile. The adults were watching him as he fell in love with the dogs surrounding them, then he looked to the doorway by Yassen, and there stood another adult German Shepherd, resting by his feet. It wasn't Bear. Bear was sitting beside Alex, and was licking his face from time to time, so Alex knew it wasn't Bear.
"This is защитник" Yassen answered with a thick Russian accent. Alex didn't know what that meant, but he figured it was something dangerous, and mean. "Nicha for short and she is the mother of those puppies you get so much joy from Little Alex. I think she feels threatened by you being around her pups" Yassen said, as Nicha got up. The almost pure white German Shepherd slowly made her way over to Alex. She sat down in front of him, and Alex sat still. He was holding her pup, and she was not familiar with Alex.
She sniffed Alex three times, then put a paw on his leg. He reached up to pet her, and she nuzzled into the touch.
"Hi Nicha. Nice Puppies you have here" Alex said still petting the dog. The dog looked up at Alex, and he swore he thought he saw her smile. Nicha then returned to Yassen's side, leaving Alex with her puppies. Alex looked at Nicha, then at Yassen. She was a lot like her owner. Today had been interesting so far, that's for sure, and Alex was concerned with how it was going to continue.
