A/N: I have seen way too many incomplete stories where characters from Alex Rider read the books. So I decided to have a go myself, allowing myself 2 weeks at most (most probably 1 or less) to update this story and my aim is to get to never say die without stopping. If I have to stop I will give a warning to anyone who is reading this and will probably give the next date.
This story will also be posted on in case I forget to update, just spam me and I'll do my best. Thanks to whoever reads this story (If on please review)!!!

John/Helen
When John and Helen Rider were boarding the plane to Marseille, France when John thought he heard a small buzzing noise. He dismissed it initially but after the plane had taken off, he decided to investigate.
After a brief 20 minute search he found nothing, so as he was about to sit down, the plane lurched to one side, as the pilot spoke hurriedly into the sonic,
"Don't panic, that was only turbulence. Also we should be reaching Marseille in 1 hour now. Is there any problems Helen or John?"
Helen replies with a short "no" as she still wasn't happy with the whole world of MI6. However John didn't hear any of this. His disbelieving gaze fell upon a small box hidden behind a gift given to them by ASH (Anthony Sean Howell). He bumped into the gift as the plane lurched to the side. Inside that box was a bomb wrapped in see-through plastic. Immediately John turned to Helen.
"We need to jump immediately!"exclaimed John, to which Helen sat up quickly, hearing the urgency in his voice. John yelled at the pilot to abandon the plane and jump, which confused the pilot to no end but he did as he was told and grabbed his parachute. He had no choice, John Rider was a much higher ranking agent. Meanwhile, John prepared to parachute out the plane, while Helen sat frightfully, praying and waiting for him to finish. John had prepared the packs fully before turning to Helen and assuring her that she is safe. He then applies her pack, before turning to his. The pilot salutes him as says "Good luck, John. And you too Helen." He then jumped out of the plane.

Ash
Ash was staring at the plane as it departed the airport. He felt so guilty by betraying his best friend's trust but knew what he had to do to become partners with SCORPIA. He had just finished playing with Alex before he made his excuse and departed. Now he was staring at the button which had been ready to detonate for the past hour. He was seriously worried about what he was doing, not only for the consequences if he was caught, but for killing and betraying his one best friend that he'd ever had. After another 10 minutes, his phone started to ring. He frowned at it thinking about who would bother to call him. His frown deepened when he realized who was calling. Dreading the call but knowing that he couldn't avoid it, he slowly picked up the phone. From the phone came an immediate flurry of voices before one strong feminine voice silenced them all.
"Ash," She said "Why aren't the Riders dead yet? You do know that if you wait any longer than it will happen too late."
"Calm down Julia," Ash said in a quiet voice. "I will complete the task as soon as you hang up the phone."
"No," came the short, snappy voice of an angry Julia Rothman. "You will do it now while we are listening on the phone. Otherwise you're dead Ash." Ash couldn't help but shiver at the cold intensity of the words.
"Ok" he says simply. "Here it is." After a moment's hesitation, he brought the button close to the phone before pressing it, causing an explosion hundreds of miles away.

Ian
Ian's life wasn't going the greatest at this point. As in he'd just been shot at by the famous Yassen Gregorovitch who almost killed him, if not for the amazing inventions of Smithers. The invention was a small chip, which magnetically drew the bullet away from his vital organs. He had gone to emergency surgery where he had barely survived but he pulled through. However, he was not debriefed normally, as he saw Smithers sneak into the room using his gadgets that were basically too good to be true. Smithers wasn't very happy when he entered, and shot Ian a worried look. He went on in a hurried tone,"Ian, your in danger. Blunt wants to send you back in. I have a safe house which is off the grid and it will be completely safe for you. Ok, old chap?" Ian watched this in stunned silence but before he could protest, Smithers gave him an apologetic glance and then injected him with a drug.
When Ian woke up, he realized that he was lying down on concrete. He got up and realised he was lying outside a small wooden cottage in the middle of a dense forest. If he wasn't directly in front of it, then he may have missed it. However as he took a step toward it, he saw a shadow move in his peripheral vision.
Silently, he drew his gun and crept towards the cottage. He reached the front door and looked for a lock before realising that it was finger-print sensitive and smacked himself on the head. Still being completely silent, he opened the door and pointed his gun to the entrance.
There in the doorway was a man he thought was dead pointing a gun straight at him. Ian dropped his gun with a clatter and whispered a quiet "...John?"

John/Helen
As John and Helen leapt out of the plane, the plane exploded, pushing them forward at an alarming speed. They then decided to open the parachute early to give them more time to fall. However as the parachute opened, one small piece of debris crashed into the parachute, punching a hole through it, and causing the couple to tumble down into the sea with an almighty splash.
As they landed, John and Helen separated and looked for land (but they could still see each other). Without any land in sight, and the freezing cold of the ocean forcing them to lose energy at a much faster rate, all they could do was keep themselves from drowning.
For 10 minutes they were scalding and Helen was tiring fast, already thinking of giving up even with the shouts of encouragement from John. He was beginning to give up hope as well, when the sound of a motor from a distance drew his attention. Eventually, he saw a speedboat charging directly towards them, and for a second he was terrified. However, he could see a huge man driving towards them with a massive smile on his face. John relaxed fully and waved for his attention...
25 minutes later, they were speeding away, with John and Helen draped in towels. They were shivering, which in the end was a good sign as this means they were warming up but they still may have hypothermia. However, John's attention was based on Smithers and what he was saying. Smithers just said that Blunt decided he was too efficient and was going to 'coerce' John into working for the company again. Smithers decided against it and climbed into his speedboat after seeing the plane blow up and the Riders jumping out. The good news was that, before anyone could see them jumping, Smithers had deleted the footage, before reporting the explosion.
"So, you're wondering what's going to happen, right old chap? Well, I have removed a safe house very close to Edinburgh from the MI6 system, and that's where you'll be staying. I know that you want to take Ian and Alex with you but you can't, leave Ian to take care of Alex, Ok? He's a very courageous, good man, who could take very good care of young Alex."
John immediately wanted to say no, but on further reflection, agreed with Smithers' decision, so he turned to his wife, who heard the entire conversation and tried to convince her. This is going to be a while, he thought grimly...

John/Helen
After 14 years of collecting the food and resources sent by Smithers every week, they were getting tired of this lifestyle, but knew that they had to keep it up to live peacefully. They both begged Smithers for updates or photos on Alex, which Smithers provided whenever possible. Eventually, they created a scrapbook, which they looked at whenever they were sad.
However, everything changed one day. In the big, mostly underground house, they were watching a love movie, with a delighted Helen and a fuming John. However, as they both were nearing sleep, John shot up like a bat. She stared at him as he seemed to creep towards the door. Then, as Helen strained to hear, the sound of a lock being picked was distinct to the couple. John met Helen's eyes, imploring her to duck, which she did instantaneously. As soon as she was out of sight, John opened the door and pointed the gun he'd retrieved from the plant. After a few silent seconds, Helen peeked up in curiosity about why there wasn't any gunshots. That was when she saw a familiar figure facing John, almost completely copying his position. Her eyes widened in shock as she heard the clang of a dropped gun and a voice that she hadn't heard for the last 14 years.
"...John?

Ian/John/Helen
As John and Ian were doing fitness, Helen was bored and decided to watch another new film. As she got fully engrossed into the film, the doorbell rang, indicating the arrival of the new package from Smithers. Every week, John would insist on going to check first as he always said safety was the most important. However, she didn't believe so strongly in it and as John was too busy to collect it, she decided that it was safe enough for her to collect the package that had arrived at the same time each week for the last 16 years.
She opened the door, and was surprised to see an extra box, wrapped in the paper Smithers used to indicate that it was his, just in case. She picked it up, completely trusting in Smithers and opened it. She almost started when she saw that it was a set on 10 books, lined up against each other so she couldn't see the face. On top of the 10 books was a piece of paper, which only said 2 things
These stories are 100% true but they have already happened so try not to worry.
Please don't destroy MI6 even after what they did.
Seeing this confused Helen even more as she brought the books inside with her. John and Ian both wore masks of disappointment but that changed to curiosity as they saw the books in her hand. Helen picked out the first book and paled dramatically as she saw the title. Almost immediately after witnessing her action, John grabbed the book out of her hand and looked at it with Ian. The title was Alex Rider: Stormbreaker.
