A/N: I love Alex Rider and Artemis Fowl that I had to put them in together!
Disclaimer: I do not own Alex Rider (sadly), if I did, I would let him fall in love with someone like…me! No, Anthony Horowitz created Alex and his extremely attractive features! Boohoo! I do not own Artemis Fowl. If I did, I would make him fall in love with me, but Eoin Colfer owns him. I do own someone in this story though!
Chapter 1- Briefing
Alex Rider knocked on the door. "Come in," a voice replied inside the room. Alex hesitated before entering. He never imagined coming back here again, much less to survive the bullet aimed for his heart.
It was a year since the sniper from Scorpia shot him, but luckily, he survived. The MI6 left him alone for a year, but today when he finally was healthy enough to come home from the hospital, the MI6 contacted him.
Alex Rider entered the room. "Alex, my dear boy!" Alan Blunt really seemed to be happy to see him, even more pleased that he came down to the Royal & General Bank, the headquarters for MI6.
"Please sit, Alex," Mrs. Jones was standing next to the desk, two folders in her hand. Mr. Blunt and Mrs. Jones; Alex always wished he would never see them again, but every time he came back.
Alex sat. "So, I guess I'm not here so you guys could congratulate me on leaving the hospital, or that in fact I'm still alive and breathing." He glanced at the folders. His voice was raspy; he hadn't talked much in months. He felt rage quickly swallowing up his chest. He breathed deeply to calm his temper, which was hard to do and he winced.
"Well, Alex, we are very glad to see you alive again. Rest assured we will hunt down the Scorpia sniper and every member of the organization," Mrs. Jones said, staring in the eyes of the fifteen-year-old boy who seemed so mature. She could see the anger, weariness, and loneliness in his eyes.
Alex snorted. "So what am I supposed to do now?"
"Well, we know what condition you're in-" Alex snorted again, "-so we gave you something easy. You'll also have a partner to help you."
"A partner?" Alex perked up. He wouldn't be alone this time. He would have someone to talk to, someone to have company with. "What partner?"
Mrs. Jones glanced at her boss staring intently at Alex. She handed Alex a folder. He opened it and she said, "He name is Maggie Park. She's your age, and she has experience. She was recruited by the CIA, and like you, she became a spy reluctantly. She'll help you with the mission."
"What's the mission?" Alex asked, staring at the picture. She had shoulder length dark brown hair and light brown eyes, which were staring right through him. She had full lips, formed in a small frown. She is Asian. Korean, Alex guessed, she is South Korean and she was beautiful, more beautiful than Alex would admit though.
Mrs. Jones handed Alex the second folder. "Your mission is Artemis Fowl II," she said, seriously, "He's around your age too, but he is a prodigy. We have been trying to get a criminal record from him, but we are unable to. We also think he might have dangerous equipment, well, advanced at least. A CIA satellite once caught a signal from technology that was in Master Fowl's hands and it read the CIA like an open book. Your mission is to get close to him and find out what he has, make him trust you. Maggie will help you. Her mission is to get closer to Master Fowl then you will. You are enrolled at his school, Jasper Solomon's School for Boys and Girls as Alex Foster. Maggie will attend the school too as Maggie Lee. Both of you will be in the same grade as Master Fowl and at least one of you will be in the same class at a time."
"Okay…who's he?" Alex held up a picture of someone who resembled a giant.
"Domovoi Butler. When you meet him, it'll be better to call him Butler," Mrs. Jones said, "He's Master Fowl's manservant. He protects him and was at his side since birth. One of the deadliest man on earth."
"That's comforting," Alex mumbled. In truth, he was taking this in better than he thought. The MI6 was going to use him again. He should've been mad, but strangely he was calm, maybe because he was so used to it and had expected this to happen.
"You accept the mission?" Alex nodded. "Alright, you're plane leaves in two days and that will give you enough time to acquaint yourself with Maggie."
Alex looked up. "She's here?" As if on cue, a knock came from the door.
"Come in!" Mrs. Jones called.
The door opened and Maggie Park stepped inside. She was wearing her hair down, a turtleneck without sleeves, a skirt that reached a little above her mid-thigh, and a belt that hung loose at her waist. If she was nervous, she didn't show it.
Alex stared at the girl. She was even more beautiful in life. She stared back at Alex and he knew she was examining him too. She smiled after awhile and Alex couldn't help, but return it with his own smile.
"Alex," Mrs. Jones said, "This is Maggie Park. Maggie, Alex Rider."
Knightsbridge, London- Two days agoArtemis waited silently, tapping his fingers on the table. He was back here again, En Fin, a London seafood restaurant. It is also the place where he had set up the unfortunate meeting with Jon Spiro and where Butler had almost been killed. Almost. Thanks to fairy magic and his friends Holly and Foaly, Butler had survived, only aging him about fifteen years older than he was.
Now he was back and he and Butler shivered at the memories haunting them. They were here for business. A friend of Artemis, a non-fairy friend, had contacted them to set up a meeting here in this wretched place.
The door to the restaurant opened and Butler and Artemis looked up. An Asian teenager entered and, ignoring the waitress, scanned the room before spotting Artemis. She waved the waitress away and walked over to the teenage boy and the giant Eurasian man.
They got up when she came close. She nodded and sat down with them. "Artemis. Butler," she greeted. She picked up a menu at scanned through while Artemis waited patiently.
"I'm here to tell you something," she said without putting down the menu. Artemis rolled his eyes. Of course she was here to tell him something, or else Artemis would've rejected her meeting request, even though she was a close friend to him and his family.
"Would you mind telling me why we are meeting in this restaurant?" asked Artemis, "You know perfectly well Butler and I despise this place."
"I know, that's why I chose this place," she said, "I came to tell you that someone suspects you."
"Who?"
"The MI6 and the CIA," she replied, still not putting down the menu, "They're sending two teenage spies to get close to you to find out your secret-" She glanced at him over the menu- "whatever that secret might be. One is named Alex Rider and the other one is…"
Artemis tapped the table impatiently. "Well? Who is he?"
Maggie Park put down the menu and looked into his eyes, "Me."
A/N: Ok my second fanfic. Please read and review! Just so you know Maggie isn't bad. She's pure good in her heart. It'll be a bit confusing, but you'll get it when I continue. Possibly the pairings are Alex/Maggie/Artemis. The aging is slightly different then in the books.
