Ok since people have been kind enough to review I thought for this fic I'll reply so here goes:

liz22463Thanks and If Alex stop's being Alex I give you permission to send Yassen after me. He he ;)
Taylor5795don't we all? Yassen is great and what I've said about Alex also applies to Yassen.
Blind by DarknessI would love to answer your question but I really don't know I'm just writing this as it comes but it a good idea so:
A question to you lot should this be a Yassen/Alex fic?
The second time Yassen had seen Alex, he had changed so much, he had lost his innocence and to Yassen it was clear that Alex was different, new.
Yassen was pretty sure that was when he stopped calling Alex young it just didn't fit anymore, didn't sound right, for such tender years Alex looked so much older.
Yassen also at that point stopped comparing Alex and John as despite the fact that John had chosen this life it was never his life, it was his job and he treated it as such which ultimately was his downfall.
He thought that he could quit it and come home and it had cost him his life, his wife's life and the happiness of his son.
Alex was different, Alex knew this was no job and knew that he couldn't run away from it and never tried, he had however seen enough sense to try and escape from MI6.
Sitting next to Cray, Yassen had watched Alex with the girl, Sabrina and noticed that all the things he did where merely to reassure her as if she was a startled animal and also noticed how little Alex truly cared for her despite the feelings she clearly felt for him.
All the things that had happened to Alex had made him strong, brave and capable of showing non of the fear he felt but it had cost him his ability to love, his ability to let someone in and it would eventually would take his happiness away to unless Yassen did something.
Yassen knew that 'he' couldn't take Alex away from MI6 it would have raised to many questions from himself, Alex and more importantly SCORPIA and MI6-after all he is a ruthless killer.
The only person who could take Alex away from everyone was Alex but how to get him to leave voluntarily and stop MI6 from coming after him that was the problem.
Eventually the choice was taken away on Air Force One and Yassen had done the only thing he could think of, a stupid idea maybe but the only one he could think of in his current predicament he had sent him off to SCORPIA.
In Yassen's defence it had made sense at the time after all he had figured they would actually keep him in malagosto for a while and Yassen would have a good way of keeping a eye on Alex without threat of his death until Yassen could figure out how to get Alex out of this mess.
How was Yassen meant to know that his plan would backfire and leave Alex with a serious injury?
But even to Yassen that was a step to far there was no longer time to think and consider the options and consequences he had to act now especially while everyone thought he was dead.
