A/N: Sorry for taking down this chapter and posting it again but I realized I did something stupid and didn't finish it well enough.

The Threat

Alex continues to hear bullets wiz by his head. The lights were getting darker as he continued to run. The red button seems like it is a million miles away as he continues to dodge as many bullets as possible. Falling forward as he realizes he must have tripped over a matt. Alex hears an uph behind him as he slowly glances backwards. Slowly turning around he notices that Jinx had gotten close enough to the man to take him out, the gun is ten meters away from the enemy. As the red button comes closer into view, Alex reaches his hand out but a black figure appears in front of him and hits the button.

"Thank you," Alex whispers as he starts to pass out.

Snake Eyes realizes what is happening and grabs the young man, carefully looking over his body to see what happened. Alex was shot in the leg as he was running causing him to fall but that didn't stop him from achieving his goal of raising the alarm. The black ninja carefully picks up the young man and heads of to the medical bay to fix the injury.

"Is he going to be okay?" Jinx inquires. Snake Eyes response was only a nod as he raced through the halls. Looking through his mask he glances down at the boy he's grown attached to.

Why am I so attached to him? Snake eyes wonders as he enters the medical bay.

"What happened?" Hi-Tech exclaimed. The ninja ignores the blonde hair man as he carefully lays the younger blonde on the table and rips off the pants. Snake eyes gives it not another thought as he begins hooking wires to Alex like it was second nature. The ninja grabs pliers to pull the bullet out of the wound. The bullet comes out easily but suddenly the young teen starts to enter go into shock. And they have to hold him down in order to help protect him from hurting himself.

Suddenly Alex rockets up from the cot, and holds his head. He looks around and realizes where he's at. He looks at the stitching on his leg and sighs.

"Looks like another scar to my collection."

The alarms slowly die as he relaxes a bit more. Unexpectedly Alex is engulfed into a hug by the ninja. Alex's return hug is almost automatic till he realizes that he's needed this more than ever. He has not felt that since Jack. Hi-Tech is just watching in awe of the situation. Here was this bad ass ninja hugging a teenage spy.

"Your leg will be sore for a few days," Hi-Tech explains.

"I expect it," Alex says cockily.

Snake Eyes helps the teen to his room and lays him down on the bed. Snake Eyes walks over to the desk and grabs writing supplies.

He then writes on the scrap of paper, "Are you going to be okay?"

"I'll be fine, just will be bored for a while."

Well you can still do stuff like help Hi-Tech with developing new stuff.

"We'll see. Hey I need to make a phone call could you leave me be for a bit?"

Snake Eyes nods his head and disappears into the shadows. Alex powers up his computer and calls MI-6 even though he really doesn't want to. He hits a few buttons on his computer and a video screen pops up.

"Hello Alex," the African American woman, Miss Jones, answers.

"Reporting in Ma'am," he says as he puts on his "mask" when speaking to the agency.

"What have you found out?"

"They are harmless except to a known organization named Cobra and Scorpia has allied themselves with Cobra causing a threat to the entire world. What are my orders? Also I took a shot to my leg."

"Your orders are to rest up and heal yourself as well as take down Scorpia. Miss Jones out."

"Orders accepted." As the transmission ends as Alex sighs. Great now I have to rest up and take care of these idiots who want to take over the world.

Alex limps around the base until he finds Hi-Tech to get more information about the team and help figure out how to build new gadgets. He wondered into the training room to watch the rest of the ninjas train. Snake Eyes acknowledged him and continued training. He continued to watch for a bit then limped down the hallway. Alex thought about everything he's been through and decided he is going to quit MI-6 to continue working with this team as they actually appreciate his work.

"Hey Duke," Devil states as he walks by him.

"Hey Devil how are you feeling?"

"Sore but going to go talk to General Hauser about something. Could you direct me to where he is?"

Duke just nods and motions Devil to follow him. They wind through the maze of hallways, eventually stopping at the hospital wing. Devil raises an eyebrow but doesn't speak.

"General Hauser, this young man needs to discuss something with you."

"Step forward and have a seat. Duke please leave us."

Duke salutes him, turns on his heel and left.

"I want to join the team, General Hawk."

"Are you sure?"

"100% sir. The group I currently work with doesn't appreciate me and forces me to go on missions that are very high risk."

"Who do you work for now?"

"Sir, I might as well explain what I am exactly doing here. I am an MI-6 agent but I don't like the work I'm doing with them. I was sent here to investigate your team due to the fact that MI-6 doesn't trust you, but then again they don't trust anyone. They have no concerns for my schooling or my life outside of the agency. If I could join the team when I'm done school, I would enjoy the opportunity to work with your team again. I just don't want to work alongside them at the moment. I have to quit MI-6 first which won't be easy, but I need to do it."

"Wow I've heard about what you have done for the team and I will allow you to complete your schooling before joining the team."

"Thank you sir. I will be returning to school shortly as my mission here is almost complete but I do have to warn you. I'm the only one who has defeated the enemy that cobra has teamed up with."

"I got a report that they were captured and locked up in maximum prison."

"Oh I guess my job is done here but I would like to return home for a bit. I need to settle my affairs and finish my schooling."

A/N: I know this is short but I have an idea for this. Just don't want to write it just yet. Happy New year and Hope you guys had a good holiday.
