Alex walked into the kitchen to a big surprise.

He saw the three men looking at him with various looks of concern. They thought he might run but Alex was out of the trance and fully capable to recognizing Snake, Fox and Wolf. They all sort of just stood there assessing one another and no one moving.

Snake broke the scene first by walking over to Alex and started doing all sort of medical things. He checked his pupils for dilation, checked for a fever, pulse, and all sorts of other things no body understood. Alex just stood there and took it, wondering what would happen next.

"Cub, you have to tell us what is going on," Snake said softly, not wanting to scare him off. "This isn't healthy" Oh Snake, the ever caring medic. Alex sighed as he knew they were right.

Snake and Alex made their way towards some seats and sat down along the other members. They all looked at Alex expectantly.

"I'm a killer," Alex said bluntly, as he figured that was his problem. His subconscious had tried to tell him that fact through his nightmare. It really was getting to him, not only because it scared him, but it was true and he so desperately wished is wasn't. He would have to live with that knowledge for the rest of his life. His conscious would never be cleared of it. And if he did it once, he could do it again.

They all looked sympathetic as this was something they could understand. They had all killed before and all had varying degrees of therapy for it. It came with the line of work. But Alex had never wanted this, and he wasn't supplied with a psychologist. He was only a teenager, who should not have seen the things he had, but that couldn't be changed. They now had to deal with the repercussions of MI6 abuse of him. And he couldn't do it alone.

"Cub in our line of work, this is common," Snake said comfortingly. "We think you need a psychiatrist."

"I don't want to talk to a therapist," Alex protested.

"We all do Cub," Ben interjected, "I had to talk to mine after I killed that guy on Dragon Nine. You looked like you knew him, did you?"

"Yeah, I did," Alex replied distantly. He still hated Ash for everything he had put Alex through and was not sad to see him done, "His name was Ash and he was my godfather."

There was a silence where everybody was in shock. Ben's face showed the expression of pure horrification at this new bit of information.

"Oh my God, I am so sorry. I don't even know what to say. You must hate me or something, if I was you I would. I'm going to need a whole new round of therapy now" Ben said rather quickly. He felt awful. He took another family member away from this poor kid.

Alex though thought it was almost comical and gave a slight chuckle. "It's fine Ben." Alex reassured Ben, "he was a traitor and working for Scorpia anyway. I'm glad he died"

"Scorpia?" Wolf looked surprised, "What do you have to do with Scorpia?"

"I've met them before…"Alex said trailing off. He wasn't really comfortable with that topic yet.

"What happened?" Wolf asked suspiciously. Scorpia was a major organization that could kill Alex in seconds. By Alex's expression he did not want to talk about it, but that was why they had this problem in the first place. Alex needed to talk about these things with someone. If not to a psychologist, then one of them. "You need to tell us, that's why you had the problems like today."

Alex knew he was right but, he wasn't able to tell them all. He only wanted to talk to one person as he didn't think he could handle them all knowing. So he switched to Spanish.

"I messed up one of their projects." Alex shot off. "They tried to kill me so I killed one of their board members."

"Really? What happened to you?" Wolf continued understanding Alex's switch.

"I was shot," Alex revealed as he understood that Wolf needed to know.

"WHAT!!! When? Why didn't anyone tell me? Where?" Wolf yelled loudly standing up. Snake and Fox looked confused and shocked at Wolf's outburst. As they knew not what the conversation was about they thought it could be something really bad.

"Snake said the same thing," Alex sniggered at the reaction he had gotten twice now. "It was two month ago and Snake seems to be taking care of it."

"You still should have told me right away," Wolf said "Wait why does Snake know?"

"Ben knew and made me tell him yesterday." Alex replied.

"Why didn't they freaking tell me!" Wolf said while growling at his team mate, who being confused, didn't know why.

"Snake promised me he wouldn't and I'm proud of him that he didn't," Alex said smiling at Snake who returned it hesitantly as he was lost.

"Where is the location of the injury? You haven't been limping or anything." Wolf asked wondering how this could get any worse. Alex pointed towards his left shoulder, and saw Wolf's eyes widen. He looked like he was going to explode."

"YOUR HEART! YOU WERE SHOT IN THE HEART." Wolf yelled, unable to image this could happen. Alex shouldn't be alive with that type of damage. He turned towards Snake and Fox and started to speak to them but still in Spanish. Seeing that he was getting no where as they didn't understand what he was saying. He turned the conversation towards Alex.

"You must still feel pain. When I was shot after Point Blank I could still feel a little pain four months after. Yours is only two," Wolf continued.

"Wolf, Snake said he would take care of it. I'm fine. It doesn't change my normal activities. Snake knows what he doing." Alex said trying to calm and sooth Wolf. He was really worked up and looked like he wanted to destroy something.

"Fine but I might have to wring his neck for not telling me." Wolf got a malicious grin which he directed at Snake, who looked so nervous.

"So what's the deal with the nightmares?" Wolf asked getting back on topic.

"I've been having them since I've gotten back from Australia." Alex said. "They got worse when I was at your apartment but when I was asleep upstairs I didn't have a single one. They come and go."

"You know Cub, that's completely normal. That's why they give us psychiatrists." Wolf replied.

"But I'm not going to spill my guts to some guy I don't know." Alex protested. He would fight hard to not go to a therapist.

"I'm sure Snake will help," Wolf said.

They looked and Snake and Ben who had just stared at them. There was nothing they could do though. Wolf and Alex were so immersed in their conversation they couldn't pulled out of their Spanish.

"I think we're ready to go," Wolf said in English for Snake and Fox' benefit.

"Finally," Ben said, "In can understand what you're saying."

"You're ugly and stupid." Alex said in Japanese to see how they would respond. Ben and Snake stood with their mouths hanging open, shell-shocked.

"Hey Cub, be nice," Wolf said, understanding a little and knowing he was just kidding around.

"You know Japanese?" Alex asked.

"Just enough to know basically what you said," Wolf replied.

"Wolf likes pink bunnies and sleeps with his teddy bear," Alex replied in rapid German. None of them understood that, so they just gave him a puzzled look. Alex burst out laughing at their expressions and at what he said. If Wolf had understood him he would probably be dead now.

"What did he just say," Snake asked Wolf.

"I don't know but by his reaction and what he said about Ben in Japanese, it was probably an insult." Wolf said.

"Wait. What did he say about me in Japanese?" Fox asked not sure if he should be insulted.

"He said you're ugly and stupid." Wolf stated like he agreed.

"Hey!" Fox exclaimed hurt, "I am insulted." Fox said to Alex.

"Hey, you don't even want to know what I said about Wolf," Alex said.

"What did you say about me?" Wolf asked suspiciously. Alex only gave him a slight chuckle.

"Learn German." Alex stated not telling Wolf what would get him buried ten feet under. He was not suicidal enough to actually tell him.

"You had better tell me." Wolf growled menacingly, but Alex only chuckled. Wolf didn't know what to do after that. No kid he'd ever growled at had the guts to laugh at him. They were usually wetting their pants.

"Wolf, I think you would kill me," Alex replied, "I'd rather not die."

"Fine I'll force it out of you," Wolf stated, and he started poking Alex until he found out he was ticklish. He had Alex squirming and running away in seconds until he finally gave in.

"Fine I said you liked pink bunnies and slept with a teddy bear." Alex gave in, but said in Spanish so Fox and Snake wouldn't know. Wolf would definitely not appreciate him saying that aloud for them to hear.

"You're right. I am going to kill you," Wolf paused with an evil smile.

"At least I didn't say it so they could understand," Alex said nodding towards Snake and Fox.

"Say what?" Snake said in a very Eagle like manner, like a little kid with too much sugar.

"Nothing," Alex said, "Do you want Wolf to rip me to shreds. Seriously."

"We should get going." Ben said. They made their way towards the door but then Alex realized he forgot something upstairs. Without a word he sprinted up and stairs and went into Jack's room. He came back down with the picture frame in his hand and continued out the door ignoring the men.

"Who are those people?" Ben asked when he saw the picture that was in Alex's hand from before.

"That's my uncle Ian and Jack," Alec replied.

"Who's Jack," Wolf asked.

"She was like our housekeepers since I was seven and when my uncle died she looked after me," Alex explained.

"What happened to her," Wolf asked, as he was now looking after Alex so it didn't make sense.

"She went back to America." Alex stated, "Ben didn't tell you?" The depression came back when ever he talked about Jack. She had always been there for him but now she couldn't be. The K-Unit members noticed his mood change and sobered very quickly.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Wolf asked kindly.

"Not right now. Maybe later," Alex replied.

"Anyway, I've made you an appointment for tomorrow with St. Dominic's about some PT." Snake brought up. "We can make you an appointment with a psychiatrist while we're there."

Alex looked at Wolf, looking for help about what they talked about in Spanish. Alex didn't want to talk to some random guy about his feelings.

"Well, Cub doesn't really want to see a therapist," Wolf told his teammate for his charge. "We figured it would be the same if he talked to one of us, and you being the medic made sense."

"Ok that's fine," Snake said giving Alex a smile. They all made it to the car and hopped in. They arrived at Wolf's apartment to five minutes later to find Eagle sitting in his living room watching TV. In all the excitement they sort of forgot about Eagle.

"Where have you guys been?" Eagle said indignantly when they walked in the door, "I've been waiting for hours."

"We had some Cub problems," Wolf said.

"Oh do tell, do tell," Eagle said excitedly. "This should be interesting." Alex rolled his eyes at Eagle extreme hyperness and enthusiasm. They all grabbed a seat and retold the marvelous exciting story.

"…and then I found out he was shot." Wolf said as part of the story.

"WHAT!!!" Eagle exclaimed when he was the last to find out this wonderful piece of information.

"Three for three." Alex said. All of the SAS men had had the exact same reaction. "Don't worry about it. Snake's taking care of it."

"Where?" Eagle asked logically, Alex gestured towards his chest and Eagle's eyes widened in shock. "Let's see."

"Oh come on," Alex said but he took off his shirt anyway and they all saw the bullet scar. Eagle started looking at it closely and no one could understand why as he wasn't a medic or anything. He started poking it, but did it a little too hard for Alex's liking so he punched Eagle in the face when he pushed too hard and sent a wave a pain though Alex's body. He didn't punch Eagle too hard though.

"What was that for?!" Eagle exclaimed indignantly.

"For poking me." Alex stated and put his shirt back on. "Now I've hit you all"
