sorry for the long wait! i hope u like this chapter. Alex doesn't really open up, but does in a way.... read and you'll understand what i mean.


With K-unit

"He is so frustrating! He actually asked me how many people were here so he could know how many people he would have to kill!" Ben said through clenched teeth.

"Ben you know it is just an act. He's afraid. Despite his threats and supposedly cold heart he still just is a kid. A kid who has been horribly scarred and will probably have and has some major trust issues. Think about it. Everyone he knows has either used him or abandoned him." Snake explained calmly.

"Well go try all your psychobabble shit on him and see if it helps." Wolf said irritably. He didn't like the fact the kid was threatening his team.

"And while you're on it find out what happened to his housekeeper Jack Starbright." Ian added.

Snake shook his head. His teammates could be such idiots at times. It wasn't like the teen was just going to tell him. He would have to earn his trust first.


30 Seconds Later

"I killed her. I shot her right between the eyes. A perfect hit. Why do you want to know? Are you writing a book on psychobabble bullshit?" Alex remarked. Snake just stared. Wasn't the kid supposed to ignore him or at least tell him to piss off? But no he just answered him like he was asking him what he wanted for dinner.

"Uh… Well no, but I thought you might want to talk. Let out some anger, it's not good to bottle it up you know. It makes you like a ticking time bomb." Snake finally managed to say. All Alex did was look at him with those cold calculating and someone how scarred eyes and it made Snake visibly shiver.

"Fine. You want me to talk to you about what I've been through. I'll tell you what I've been through. My uncle supposedly dies on his mission. Well guess who gets to take his place? I do. It doesn't matter that I didn't want to, because they blackmailed me. And when they realized how good I was at spying, they used me again. And after that it became a cycle. They would tell that they were done using me, and then a week or so later I would be heading off on another life threatening mission. My social life became nonexistent. Mostly everyone thought I was a druggie or a gang member. And those that didn't they eventually gave up on me and turned their backs. After a while people just stopped caring if I showed up again. It got so bad that I actually went to Scorpia. Then they used me too. And when I escaped back to the other enemy and betrayed them, they had me shot. I survived by pure luck. But that didn't matter. Because the next thing I knew I was on a mission for the CIA. And then I was in space. And right after that the Australians used me. They blackmailed me with the chance of meeting my godfather. The last connection to my so called family. Turns out he didn't give a fuck. Hell he practically tried to kill me. You can ask Ben about what he sent me into. After a while I got fed up with all the lies, tired of spying. So I disappeared. No one has seen me since I was fifteen. And as far as MI6 is concerned I could be dead and they wouldn't care, because I'm just another tool to them. So is that what you wanted to know?" Alex sneered.

Snake didn't know what to say at first. "I'm so sorry Alex you should never have gone through that." He said shakily. Alex just grunted. Snake got up and left the room.


Back with k-unit and others.

Snake sat down his face was white and drawn. He looked immensely sad.

"Ben you said you saw him on a mission once. What did he go through?" Snake asked his voice quivering.

"He-He was stuck in a fighting ring in a gang place. The guy in front of him was bigger stronger and definitely more skilled. Added to the fact he was already weakened from his previous mission and his chances were extremely low. He practically didn't have any chance. It was a death fight. One guy dies and the other, the victor, gets to live to fight another round. Alex he did something and it was coincidence that at that moment I cut the power. Alex narrowly escaped. After that he was captured again by Major Yu. He sent Alex off to become a live donor. In other words to be slowly dissected alive. He escaped again. He always seemed to do that. Escape when everyone said it was impossible. After that we went to the base he detonated the bomb and we all went our separate ways. I never saw him again." Ben whispered.

Snake nodded his hands were shaking horribly. "He told all about what happened to him. About how he was used. How he was all alone. But worst when I asked him about the girl he told me flat out that he shot her in the head right between the eyes and that it was a perfect shot. But there wasn't any emotion. It was like he was an empty shell of what he could have been, of what he used to be. It was scary to see a kid like that." Snake said his vouce quivering. He shook his head, that kid had reason to be fucked uo in the head.
