Thanks for the reviews! I'm going to try to get one review on each chapter before I update. If anyone has any ideas for something I should put in the story, you can put it in a review or PM me. Thanks!

Chapter Two

Disclaimer: I still don't own any part of Alex Rider and I unfortunately never will.

Also, I'm going to call Fox Ben, but they are the same person

"Oh, no!" he exclaimed suddenly. "Alex, look out!" Alex stood, knocking his chair over as he turned around. Two men stood there, holding guns aimed at his heart. Alex kicked the first one's gun out of his hands, then hit him over the head with a vase sitting on Smithers' desk. A gunshot rang out loudly, and Alex was surprised to see no blood or holes on his body. Then he jumped out of the way as the man's body toppled forward. Ben Daniels stood in the doorway with a gun in his hand.

"Alex, are you all right?" he asked. Alex nodded shakily, surprised that someone had gotten inside MI6, then come all the way up here to shoot him instead of the someone more important.

"How did they get in?" Smithers echoed Alex's thoughts as he stood up from behind his desk, shock written all over his face. People were beginning to appear in the doorway, drawn by the sound of the gunshot. Then Alex heard Mrs. Jones' voice, demanding to be let through. A path cleared quickly, and she stared at Alex. He realized that it was a bit of a weird scene; he was standing there holding a now-broken vase, two bodies were on the floor, both bleeding from the head, one of them unconscious and the other dead. Smithers was standing behind his desk, and Ben was holding a gun.

"I think you have a mole," Alex said bluntly. The crowd of people gasped at his audacity in speaking to Mrs. Jones that way, but he pressed forward. "They weren't stopped by anyone, and they knew exactly where to go to find me."

"Alex, it's time for you to go," Mrs. Jones said. "That's why Agent Daniels was coming to get you. He's taking you to Brecon Beacons, and you're leaving now."

A little later, in Ben's car:

"Well, at least I don't have to ride in an army car this time," Alex said, leaning back in his seat. He hd been surprised to find that Ben owned a Prius (A/N: I don't know much about cars, so I'm going to hope that this is a good car, if it isn't then just pretend Ben has a really good car)

"What did Mrs. Jones tell you to expect at BB?" Ben asked, keeping his eyes on the road.

"She just said that I'll be there for a month," Alex said, glancing over at Ben. "Why?"

"We'll be staying with K-Unit," Ben said. "We're rejoining the unit. Your code name is still Cub, and I'm still Fox. Hopefully they'll respect you more this time. The sergeant is the only one besides Mrs. Jones who knows that the two of us are coming back. The unit has been told that I'm coming back, and that someone else is too, but they don't know who the 'someone else' is."

Alex glanced out the window, then realized that they had arrived. The sergeant was standing outside with a scowl on his face. "I see the sergeant doesn't like me any more than he did two years ago," Alex muttered, in a voice that only Ben's spy-trained ears could hear. Then he opened the door.

"Welcome back, Fox, Cub," the sergeant said. They saluted. "You'll both need to change into your army-issued clothing. Head down to your cabin to change and greet your unit. Dinner is in an hour." He turned sharply and walked off towards the mess hall.

Ben looked down at Alex. "Are you ok?" he asked with a frown. "You look kind of pale."

"I'm fine," Alex said. "Let's go!" They walked off towards the cabins. When they got there, Ben poked his head into the cabin.

"Hey," he said cheerfully. "There's someone else who'll be joining the unit, and I think you already know him." Alex stepped into the cabin behind Ben. There was a moment of shocked silence, and then they all started talking at once. Wolf wanted to know what on earth he was doing there, Snake (always the medic), wanted to know why he was so pale, and Eagle actually seemed semi-happy to see him.

As Ben explained to Wolf why Alex was there, Snake began looking him over, ignoring Alex's protests that he was fine. "Uh, Snake?" Eagle asked.

"Not now, Eagle," Snake brushed him off.

"Snake, there's blood on his hand," Eagle pointed out. Everyone in the room, including Alex, immediately looked down at Alex's hand. Sure enough, there was blood dripping from his hand down onto the floor. Snake sprang into action, pulling a first-aid kit from the wall and cleaning his hand.

"Cub, how did it happen?" the medic asked.

"I don't know," he said. "Probably from the vase being broken."

"What vase?" Snake asked. "Does this mean you might have glass in your hand?"

"He might," Ben said. "He was attacked, and he broke a vase over one of his attacker's heads." The rest of the unit glanced at their youngest member, a tiny bit impressed.

Uncomfortable under their stares, Alex twisted away as soon as Snake finished bandaging his hand. He went over to his bunk and sat down. Pulling out his phone, he sent a message to Sabina and Tom, then realized that Tom would be in school but Sabina wouldn't because if the time difference.

Alex: hey guys, just sent back to hell. how's school?

Sabina: it's school, not Disneyland. what do u expect?

Alex: haha sorry Sab. gotta go
