After Jack decides she's had enough, Alex is forced to live under the same roof as Wolf - fantastic. But what he discovers is a K unit that's falling apart. Can he pull the team back together? Or is what they've been through too much for even Alex to fix? AU, post-Snakehead.

Alex Rider grew too old (all of 17) so MI6 had to find a replacement, but Chris Butler is no where near as successful, one mistake results in Alex being kidnapped and when eventually when they are freed Alex is assigned as a guardian and K unit are also there for protection. Alex Rider, K unit and a backchatting teen under one roof. What could go right!

He's lost everything, joined a group he hated in order to escape the one he hates more, and now Scorpia is back again to snatch him from the SAS' clutches. Not if he has anything to say about it! K-Unit and an enemy from Malagosto OC. REWRITE, updated regularly.
