I'm sorry it took a week longer then neccesary to get this posted but although I had great gadget ideas from many of you I didn't know how to add them in. Thank you to those who gave ideas by the way, you were a great help!

This is only Alex's gadets, I'll get working on Jame's.

I do not own Alex Rider or James Bond or any of the characters present. This is a non profitable story.

A big Thanks to Wheel Then for giving me tons of ideas and for making sure they were written about correctly as well as beta'ing my work. Cheers!


Alex arrived at the room and opened the door for Smithers. The man waddled in.

"Right then, my boy, should we get to work?" Smithers asked as Alex sat on his bed. Smithers rummaged into his bag and pulled out a light blue zip up hooded jumper.

"Since protective gear worked out great for that mission in France, I decided to upgrade it a bit. I give to you, the bullet proof hoodie." Smithers said handing the jumper to Alex. "The fabric is light weight and soft, in fact it was just a regular hoodie, until I dissolved boron into the carbon in the cotton. Only diamond could get through this. Plus, it's great for keeping you warm and safe."

"Nice." Alex murmured as he stroked the fabric. Alex put it on and tested the movement capabilities. It felt just like a normal hoodie.

"Right, you know how clothes normally add in their own spare button. I decided, since this doesn't need a button because it's a zip up, I can put something else there. You might feel a little bump in that label bit, well, if you squeeze it then the jumper automatically cools down. It's like having an air-con in your jumper. By squeezing it twice in quick succession you turn off the AC. I have a feeling where you're going might be a bit warm." Smithers explained.

"So I can stay cool and safe. Smart." Alex finished as he tested the AC.

Smithers grinned in acknowledgement before reaching into his bag and pulling out an iPod touch with a set of headphones.

"Since the current trend for teenagers is to plug in your headphones, turn the volume up and ignore the outside world, this should help you blend in a bit." Smithers announced.

"Is this like the iPod you gave me before with different apps for different gadgets?" Alex asked.

"Well, yes. But I have made some alterations." Smithers said. "I'll start with the headphones. If you pull the notch slightly so it's not fully in the headphones slot then everything around you is amplified. If you are on a large bus you can hear everyone on the bus even with these little headphone buds tucked tightly into your ears."

"But how will I understand anything with a lot of people talking?" Alex asked.

"Ah, this is the part I love most. If you go onto the drawing app on your iPod and then double tap the iPod screen then you can get the blue prints of the room you're in! Now, tap on one of the white dots on the screen and you zoom in on their conversation. It picks up the vibrations in that direction!" Smithers said. He was grinning at his work.

Alex took the iPod and set it up as Smithers had instructed. Smithers walked to the other side of the room and Alex saw a white dot moving on his screen.

"Can you hear me?" Smithers asked. To Alex, it sounded like Smithers was next to him. If he had taken the headphones out, he would have realized that Smithers was just whispering.

Alex took the headphones out.

"What if I don't want to look at the screen or I'm being watched?" Alex asked.

"Just press power button 3 times in quick repetition and the screen will blank, but the app keeps running. Point the mic at the top of the iPod in the direction you want to listen into and you will hear it." Smithers answered confidently.

"You're spoiling me this time Smithers!" Alex said grinning.

"Just remember, slip the notch back in fully and you'll be listening to your music again." Smithers said with a growing grin.

Alex nodded. He started scanning through the music he had available. It was decent. There was Johnny Cash, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Meatloaf and more.

"There are some other important apps available as well. For example, if you take a picture, it will be sent directly to MI6. Also, the 'City Mapper' app is one of my favourites! If you tap on the information section, go to locations setting and swipe to disabled. That sends out an EMP wave disabling cameras within 50 metres of you."

"So if I walked down a corridor with the locations setting off then all the cameras would be turned off until I'm 50 metres away from them?" Smithers nodded, "But wouldn't the security cameras then just show static to those watching?"

"If it had been a regular EMP wave, yes, however, this one emits what I like to call a "freezing wave" freezes frame of the picture." Smithers said with a mad glint in his eye. Then added cautiously, "You've just got to hope that no one is walking in the camera near you..."

Alex grimaced at the thought of what would happen.

"One more things for your iPod, it contains a tracker so we know where you."

"Is there any chance of back up?"

"Oh yes, almost forgot about that one!" Smithers cried out. "If you tap on the FaceTime you will have one number favourited. That's Bond's number. He'll get a message saying you've activated your FaceTime. Normally it only comes up with two options; Answer/Decline. I added a third; Find. If Bond answers then a message gets sent to '6 saying you've both approved for back up. If he declines then no message gets sent but if he selects find then he can track your signal. Unless one of your iPods is no longer working then you need both signals to get back up."

"So I know that both me and Bond have an iPod, what else does he have?" Alex asked.

"Sorry old chap, it doesn't work like that. If he's not allowed to know what you have, you can't see what his presents are until he unwraps them for you. One last thing, I know boys don't wear necklaces a lot, or at least, I don't think they do but I couldn't help myself."

Alex groaned in slight fear of what was to come as Smithers rummaged through his bag. In the end, the man in a fat suit pulled out a black leather necklace with a green stone cut in a cool shape. There was a loop at the top where the stone was attached to the string and then the shape looked like a wave was rippling down the stone.

"If you pull the end of this necklace then you have a diamond edged pin." Smithers explained, "It can cut through almost anything. Don't judge the tiny blade on its size."

Alex took the necklace before tearing the bottom part off and inspecting the miniscule pin. He put it near his skin and with a tiny prick he drew blood. It was very sharp! Alex then put the bottom back on and inspected the design. You wouldn't be able to tell that this necklace came apart!

"And finally, here is your weapon, a 35mm browning pistol." Smithers handed Alex a book, Storm Front, The Dresden Files, Book one it said on the front cover.

Alex opened up the book saw that the pages had been cut to give space for his gun to fit comfortably.

"The book will stop any scanners from picking up the gun, just be careful not to lose it, Alex." Smithers said.

"You've spoilt me." Alex said as he inspected his gun.

"I just hope that all this pampering will bring you back alive. Do be careful, won't you?" Smithers said with sigh.

"Aren't I always?" asked Alex, trying to lighten the mood.

"And please trust James. He's a damn fine agent, just like you are and he will keep you safe."

"I don't need to be protected." Alex answered seriously.

"No, you don't. But you could save his life just like he could save yours. I know you don't trust but try, this once, for me?" Smithers begged.

Alex looked down at the gun in his hand. Smithers had always been good to him. He disliked what MI6 did and he disliked Alex going on missions so he tried his hardest to help Alex. Alex supposed he could return the favour by doing this one thing.

"I'll try." was his only response before gathering his new toys and exiting.


Oh, and does everyone like the new title?
