THis chapter is was atricky one to write because i didnt know how to start it off and well Yassen found out that Alex is his son and Alex is now licking the idea of Sarov as his father. So what would Yassn do... ENJOY

Alex woke early. The light flooded in through the window and he could tell that it was only around eight and found that he couldnt get back to sleep. He was to busy thinking.

Had MI6 sent help? What had happened to Yassen? Jack? Tom? Sarov? Could Sarov be right for him? was all he could think about. Sarov had offered him so much and asked for so little in return. Only Alex didnt really know how to feel anymore. He'd always wondered what it would be like to have a father. To be able to grow up and say ' thats my dad'. Something he had never had And Sarov offered it. Would it be sooo bad to accept? Maybe? Yes? No? Alex was lost and was in alot deeper than he thought.

Sarov had already accepted him as a son but did Alex acept Sarov as a father yet?

Alex lay in bed turning over the decisions he had to make and didnt relise the door had opened and that someone was stood watching him. It was only when there was a click of the door shutting that Alex turned to see the mysterious Yassen stood there.

"Morning" Alex replied cheerfully and sat up.

Yassen said nothing and just...well stood there. No nod or sign of life towards Alex.

Well that was a change. Alex though

Alex got up out of the bed and made his way over to the bathroom. Out of Yassen's veiw. He hoped.

He found the bathroom was in-fact quite large and seemed just as modern as the rest of the house. Their was a bath and a shower. Seperate of course. And all the stuff Alex would require. From Soap to a razor? He douted that he'd use the razor but it was nice of them to think about it.

Once he got washed and cleaned, he walked back into the bedroom to get changed and Yassen was still stood in the same postiton by the door. He looked lifeless and determained not to interact with anyone. Espiecally not Alex it seemed.

Alex found that the wardrobe had been filled with designer clothes and there was plenty to choose from. Alex went for a pair of light shorts and tshirt. They were a perfect fit and were nice and comfortable to wear. He looked over at Yassen and drew a sharp breath.

-oxoxoxo-

Yassen stood facing Sarov. Sarov didnt intimidate him. He was powerless compared to Yassen. Well thats how it seemed to him.

Sarov had instructed him to keep a close eye on Alex and make sure the teen didnt come to harm or try to escape. They agreeded on a payment and Yassen was dismissed and made his way to Alex's room.

Yassen opened the bedroom door quietly and slipped in. Alex was layed in the bed. Awake and seemed to be thinking heavily. He looked down at his son and a large weight shifted in him. He closed the door behind him with a click and Alex instantly turned to face him.

Yassen kept his face impassive showing no perticular intreast to Alex.

" Morning " Alex said. Still staring at him but still Yassen remained silent. He knew how much it hurt not to answer but he couldnt give into Alex. He was on a mission and Alex Rider wouldnt change that. He wouldnt.

He watched as Alex silently got up and made his way to the bathroom. Yassen remained watching him till Alex made it out of veiw.

Once he was sure Alex was out of veiw, he sighed heavily. Now he knew the truth , it was becoming harder and harder to be around Alex. And Yassen knew that it was going to get harder and he couldnt keep ignoring the teen. He needed to gain Alex's trust and ignoring Alex completely wasnt going to work. So it was decided Yassen would accept Alex but not get to close. Even though Alex was his son, it could never be. Yassen was an assassin and Alex was too young to be with Yassen. In his eyes he was still John Riders son and would Always be. No-matter what the truth was and how much it hurt to deny. Yassen would always think of him as Alex Rider. John Riders son.

Yassen stayed where he was and waited for Alex to finish. It was eight fifteen and Alex was due to have breakfast at half past but he didnt want to rush the teen. Thats when Alex Came out the bathroom he glaced over at Yassen and made his way to the wardrobe. He picked out some light and airy clothes and slipped into them. Not seeming too be bothered about Yassen's icy gaze watching him the whole time

Alex finished and turned to face the Assassin and exhaled sharply.

Yassen knew like everyone that it was going to be a long day. One he wouldnt enjoy.

-oxoxo-

They walked in silence towards breakfast and Yassen could tell by Alex behaviour that he was thinking and that it was about a hard decision. Yassen didnt know what decision that might be and what would run through this perticular teenager's mind. He was afterall different. Too different maybe?

" why do you enjoy being a spy Alex? A boy your age would be more suited to...something less demanding."

Alex looked at the assiassin and sighed "You think i enjoy it. Being a spy. Nearly dying each time trying to stop some phycotic madman from killing half the world. Yer its sooo much fun." Alex looked straight ahead "How much i'd give to be normal again"

Yassen stared at Alex for a long time. "Well here you are caught up in another mission and yet you dont seem to want to escape it. Is it because your sick of running?"

" No" Alex said heavily"Its because Sarov offers so much and its a choice between friends i love and him."

" Why not a third option Alex"

Alex looked questionally at Yassen and stopped.

"There isnt a third option Yassen. I want to escape but if i do MI6 will use me again and again"

Yassen looked deeply at the boy and decided this was the best time.

" There is always option three Alex. You see i work for an organation called SCORPIA and well there very powerful. You want to escape and i'll help you but it has to be your choice Alex. I can take you to them they'll keep you safe and MI6 they'll give you all you need and maybe more. MI6 will cease to excist to you."

" What do you mean Yassen? Your a killer! You killed my uncle. Why would i want to go to the same organsation that hired you?"

" Well Alex i can only tell you this for now." Yassen leant forward "Because, Alex its in your blood."

sorry it took along time to update. but i was busy busy and well the next few chapters are going yo be the ones with all the action in. K-unit and all the crew to. What will Alex do?
