::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Fox POV

Eagle barged into the lounge, making me and Wolf jump. But he didn't notice that, he just ran in with a laughing Alex on his back.

He slid Alex round to the front of him and we were all very confused, including the kid himself. Just as he put him down on the sofa, Eagle suddenly started tickling him under his armpits and down his side.

And Alex was laughing his head off, wriggling and screaming and generally being a little 5 year old. Wolf was just watching in something I'm guessing is amazement. I myself started laughing as well. It was really quite funny. The TV was forgotten. Right now everyone's attention was focused on the kid.

5 minutes later, Eagle finally stopped tickling Alex, who was hiccupping; his face wet with tears of laughter and generally looked very…cute. His clothes were all ruffled and his hair was static and very messed up. It was all very innocent and almost made me forget of the situation at hand. Almost.

Then Eagle came over and nabbed the TV controls from me, and out of reflex, I made to punch him, which missed as he ducked, and connected with Wolf's head. Wolf growled and stood up, fists clenched. Eagle walked over to Alex, who was sitting in front of the TV and sat in between him and Wolf. It was obvious Eagle wanted to see a fight, because he was childish like that, but the way he sat was protective, defensive. Alex didn't notice the fact that Wolf was angry as he flicked through the channels with the remote Eagle handed him. Should he have let a 5 year old pick through all the channels without supervision? It didn't matter really because I had an angry Wolf coming at me. Before I could think I found myself out the door, having absentmindedly run, with Wolf behind me. I ran towards the back door, hoping Snake would intercept us on the way. I made it worst for myself though, when I looked back, and on seeing his expression, I actually laughed. Wolf literally lurched forward with a fist, which only made me scramble forwards for the door.

3rd person POV

Whilst Wolf was chasing Fox, Alex was watching a TV program, but when Eagle turned to look at the screen for the first time, he discovered that Alex had turned on Big Brother!

"Alex!" he exclaimed, grabbing the TV remote from the 5 year old and switched the channel to Disney Channel, which made Alex frown.

"What?" he cried, his bottom lip quivering.

Eagle sighed. It was obvious that this boy hadn't ever really watched television properly. "Alex you can only put on TV shows from certain channels because they're, ummm… … … SNAKE!" he bellowed at the end of the sentence.

Snake came in and stood, arms crossed. "What Eagle, can't you handle anything for 5 minutes! What is it!" his expression showed that he was agitated.

Rolling his eyes, he replied "can you explain to Alex why he can only watch kids TV programs and not things like Big Brother?"

Snake's expression softened at this, and he crouched down to see eye level with a very confused, and now weary, Alex.

"Al you can only watch programs from the kids section because… well you just can't, don't question it." Snake said, bluntly. Eagle was surprised how badly he had handled that, but he kept his face neutral and his lips sealed, for once.

Alex was silent. How was he supposed to know what he could and couldn't watch! Ian had only ever let him watch movies and kids TV programs, but with all those channels, how did he know which ones were suitable!

Snake left the room to go and deal with Wolf and Fox, who were currently wrestling in the garden. He sighed and shouted out the back door; "Guys get your idiot ***** in here now!" his tone was menacing. He knew it would work if he said it like that. The two idiots got up, Wolf punched Fox, who punched him back and then they came inside.

"Alex's bedroom furniture is outside the front door. Take it upstairs and build it, will you?" Snake commanded.

They wanted to argue, but then again no one liked an angry Snake. Once when he was angry with them for putting custard in his shampoo bottle, he did health checks on each of them for a week. No one wanted a repeat of that, especially when he flipped because Eagle had a splinter in his thumb. It was hilarious though.

They nodded and headed to get the furniture and the tool box from the garage.

Eagle POV

Alex and I were watching Disney channel. The suite life on deck was surprisingly good. It might've been a bit too old for a 5 year old, but he almost threw a fit when I tried to change it to cbeebies, so I left it on for him. The kids a genius though, I think. He got the plot of it before I did! Admittedly I'm not the cleverest person in the world, but still.

Snake barged in the door, car keys in hand.

"Come on gu-"he started, but I cut him off.

"Shhhh I wanna see if Cody and Bailey are gonna break up or not!" I exclaimed. He rolled his eyes and Alex laughed.

After a minute or so, the charming man got impatient and turned off the TV. I began to argue but he just said "I'm going to get the food. And his bed sheets. So don't leave the house and Wolf and Fox are upstairs, okay?"

He spoke to me like a bloody child, but I took this seriously, because it was.

Snake looked at Alex. "Alex what do you want from McDonalds?" he asked kindly. If only he could speak to me like that!

Alex pondered on it, before answering "Fish Fingers and the toy!"

I couldn't help but laugh. He was actually cute when he wasn't attacking anyone, and frowning and being cautious. Snake nodded and left the room, leaving us alone. His attention returned to the TV when Phineas & Ferb came on.

Wolf POV

After we finished with that bloody furniture, which is flipping hard with an idiot like Fox to help me, I went back down stairs to find Eagle and Alex watching Disney Channel! It was a cartoon they were watching with 2 kids, one with green hair…, building impossible things whilst their crazy sister tried to snitch on them. It was actually quite entertaining. I sat down to watch it, and before long Fox came in and watched it too. It was back to back for an hour. Alex and Eagle both lay down and watched it on their stomachs, right in front of the TV. And that was how Snake found us an hour later.

Snake POV

I came in to find the rest of my unit and Alex watching cartoons, completely focused, they didn't even notice that I came in!

"Guys foods here!" I exclaimed, and watched in glee as they all jumped out of their skins. Wolf even went for his gun, until it registered in his brain that it was me, and not some crazy imposter or terrorist.

"Jesus Snake, are you trying to kill me mate, I almost had a flipping heart attack!" Fox exclaimed.

"Yeah same!" Eagle whined.

I sniggered and walked to the kitchen, dumping the food on the table as I went. They all grabbed a burger, chips and cokes, whilst Alex was handed a happy meal box and an orange juice. I got a straw from the cupboard, because I forgot to get one from the fast food place.

As I came in, the soldiers were eating like the animals they were codenamed. Eagle was picking out the gherkin of his burger, pecking at it like a bird, Wolf was wolfing down the food, Fox was scavenging at stealing chips from my chip pot. Even Cub was acting like a cub, he couldn't get the lid of his orange juice, frowning in frustration he carried on trying until I came over and did it for him. I slid the straw in and handed it back to him. He cocked his head to the side, as if to say 'why did you help me' but didn't comment none the less.

Snatching the chip pot from Fox and grabbing my burger from the bag, I sat down and dug into the food.

Alex POV

My food was really tasty. I had a couple of chips and 2 fish fingers. I just haven't got an appetite any more. Not since Jack died. I started chewing on straw, bored when the curly haired man, who the nice on called Snake, talked to me.

"Alex aren't you going to eat more of your food?"

I shook my head and said "I'm not hungry"

He was quite for a minute, then he spoke again; "What have you had to eat today?"

I thought for a minute, and then said "ummm, I had banana and dinner."

I waited for him to do something. Uncle Ian used to get mad at me if I didn't eat 3 times a day, even If it was too much food. I shook my head. Why did everything I do make me think about Uncle Ian, and then Jack? They had gone to sleep and I tried not to think about them but they kept coming back, especially in my nightmares that woke me up in the middle of the night. I shuddered and tried not to think about night time. I hated going to sleep. I tried to avoid it but in the end I always ended up falling for it. I hated it.
