A/N: A few people asked for an update to this, so I thought I'd post a brief conclusion of Alex getting welcomed to the team. Enjoy & review.
"Hey, everyone," Alex said as he walked outside the sergeant's hut. "Guess I'm invited to be in your new unit."
Eagle narrowed his eyes suspiciously at Cub. "I thought your code name was Horse."
Wolf smacked him on the back of his head. "Eagle, get a life – or a pair of ears, I'm not sure which you need more. His code name was Rabid. Rab-id."
"Care to explain that one?" Snake asked with a raise of his eyebrows. "And what do we call you now, Rabid or Cub?"
"How about Rabid Cub?" Eagle suggested before he ducked away from Wolf's hands so that Wolf couldn't smack him again.
Alex ignored Eagle in favor of answering Snake's question. "I think he named me Rabid because he was slightly annoyed by what MI6 had put me through."
"So he knows," Snake said thoughtfully.
"Oh, believe me, he knows," Alex replied.
"You work for MI6 – where Ben does. Can you tell me how he's doing?" Eagle asked, grinning like a kid who never should have been let out of the candy store.
"He's still alive and his current situation is classified," Alex reported ruefully. "Really, Eagle, you never realized it was me?"
"I thought you had died in a ditch or something," the SAS man said with a shrug.
Wolf buried his face in the palm of his hands. "And this is exactly why we wouldn't let you talk to the kid while he was here, Eagle."
Eagle put on a pouty face. "I remember. You were so mean to me those two weeks."
Alex's eyes widened in surprise. When he had been at camp the first time he had assumed that Eagle had some sort of social problem and chose not to speak to anyone outside the unit, and specifically had chosen not to speak to him.
He had never thought it could be because of K-Unit blackmail.
"Hey, Wolf," he asked, a grin on his face, a thought stuck in his mind. "Question for you."
"What?" he questioned, his eyes never leaving Eagle, who was now moving towards the nearest tree, apparently bored with the conversation.
"When you were mean to me the first two weeks I was with K-Unit, was it because you hated me or because you had to put up with Eagle? Or both?"
"Oh, it wasn't you, Cub," Snake answered for him, an evil smirk on his face. "I mean, sure, we were annoyed about your age. But we were more annoyed because we thought you would be another toddler to look after – and you proved us wrong there."
"Kid's way more mature than Eagle," Wolf agreed as he watched his comrade, who was nearly at the top of the tree.
"What is he doing, anyway?" Alex asked. They had been given the day off so they could "welcome him to the unit." It was Alex's personal thought that they had been given the day off so that the sergeant didn't have to deal with Eagle.
"I don't know, but I vote we abandon him before we get told to clean out the latrines, too," Wolf quipped as he started heading back to his cabin.
Alex smirked at Snake. "Whatever happened to don't leave your cabin behind?"
"The same rule gets abandoned when you realize your comrade has the mind of a two year-old and has matches," Snake explained as he hurriedly followed Wolf. The two were almost to the cabin when they heard a loud "boom". Alex could see something on fire – thankfully, not the sergeant's hut.
"I say we go retreat in the cabin now," Alex said, suddenly very glad he was not Eagle at the minute.
