Yassen sat on the rooftop across from the Rider household watching Alex in his room.
Yassen had been watching Alex since he had supposedly died and was alarmed at how much young Alex had changed to the extent that he was no longer young Alex.
The first time he had seen Alex he had been reminded of how much he looked like John, Alex had even acted like him, both had an uneasiness about them like they where secretly fighting an inner battle and felt uncomfortable in there own skin although that could be credited to the fact that they where spies, Yassen thought that was unlikely.
Yassen had loved John, as a mentor, a brother in arms, a lover and especially as a confident, John had even, after some time told Yassen the truth about who he really was but it hadn't stopped them.
John had questioned what that made him but they both knew that what they had was not going to last, they were just fighting off the loneliness together, they had no true feelings towards each other, John because he really did love his wife despite what he did and Yassen because he thought someone without a soul couldn't love anyone.
Yassen was deeply heart broken to see John's son suffer the way that John had at the hands of MI5 and had tried to discourage Alex from continuing this line of work.
He had hoped that by showing his face to Alex that he would scare him-after all he had just killed his uncle-or had at least prayed that Blunt would realise his mistake but alas that idea had failed.
Alex was in to deep to wilfully pull out and Blunt ether didn't care or didn't notice the pattern that occurs with Riders and him, that as upon meeting Yassen both Ian and John had died, Yassen hoped this was not a tradition they passed to young Alex.
Yassen would have sacrificed his life to spare young Alex the pain that John had went through if he could have and he didn't want to lose Alex any more than he had lost John.
He knew young Alex was ensnared and for a fleeting few minutes up on the roof after the stormbreaker incident Yassen had entertained the idea of taking Alex with him and protecting him but even as he thought it he knew that it was the wrong thing to do, Alex could only have survived in Yassen's world as long as John did.
This life of espionage was not the life for this young child so he had left young Alex on the roof with a warning and a solute hoping young Alex would have a better life than John did, hoping that they never meet again but knowing they would.
Yassen only wished young Alex would be prepared for this new world he-like his dad before him-was trust into.
