13How's it going ppls! I do NOT own Maximum Rider! James Patterson does! Nor do I own Alex Rider! Anthony Horowitz does! Please tell me if something is wrong with my story and what it is so I can fix it! By the way this is happening after Snakehead (Alex Rider) and School's out-Forever (Maximum Ride).
At Brecon Beacons-
Wolf wasn't in a very good mood, like always. He got woken up by Eagle, tripped in the mud during the obstacle course and got kitchen duty and now, Cub is coming back! Cub was the 5th member of their team. He's a 14 year old spy for MI6. Why he's a spy, Wolf hasn't got the slightest idea. K-unit got to see Cub in action once, and that was during Point Blanc. Cub had been snowboarding down a mountain on a bloody ironing board! Anyways, Cub is coming back because he's in a bit of trouble with a terrorist organization. The first thing he's going to do is question Cub about this.
Wolf laid on his bed, thinking. Was the whole Point Blanc thing a one-time thing? Or did they send Cub on missions all the time? How does Cub deal with all this? After all, he's only 14 years old for God's sake!
"What do you think of Cub coming back, Wolf?" Eagle asked.
"I honestly don't know. You?" Wolf asked Eagle.
"I don't know either," Eagle said.
"Snake, what about you?" Wolf asked.
"I don't know. Are you going to be bullying him again, Wolf? I don't think you should. After all, he did save you from getting binned, didn't he?" Wolf nodded, deep in thought. Finally, after awhile of thinking, Wolf finally fell asleep.
Alex at MI6 headquarters-
"YOU WHAT?!" Alex yelled.
"You are going to be training at Brecon Beacons for 2 weeks to keep you safe from Scorpia," Alan Blunt repeated. "Fox will take you there." Alex couldn't believe it. 2 weeks of Hell on Earth! He's going back to being called Double-o-nothing! Back to being bullied by Wolf! I doubt he's going to stop bullying me just because I pushed him out of a plane, Alex thought. In fact, I bet he's going to bully me even more for that! Alex got up and left, slamming the door.
At home, he explained everything to Jack, his Guardian. When he was done, Jack was frowning.
"Why there?" She asked.
"I don't know. I was too mad to ask," Alex said. Jack nodded.
"Why don't you go to sleep? It's getting late and you need to get up early," Jack suggested. Alex nodded, said good night and went to his room.
At Brecon Beacons-
The first thing Alex saw when he arrived with Fox was K-unit. Snake, Eagle, Wolf, and some new dude that he didn't know were staring at Cub.
"Hey, uhh…who's the new dude?" Alex/Cub asked.
"Did you just call me the new dude?" New dude asked.
"Well, I don't know your name, so what am I supposed to call you?"
"Ha-ha, I think I'm going to like this kid. My codename is Coyote; your codename is Cub, right?" Coyote asked. Alex nodded and they headed to K-unit's bunk.
That night, after Cub fell asleep, the Sergeant came in to read Cub's file with K-unit. Fox grabbed a thick folder out of his pack and passed it around. This folder was about Cub's missions and that kind of stuff. When everyone was done reading it, they were all shocked and silent.
"So, wait, Cub got shot in the chest by a Scorpia sniper dude and lived?" Snake asked, breaking the silence. "Does he have any painkillers?"
"He does, but he doesn't take them because of the side effects and his missions. Honestly, he doesn't act like it bothers him, but then again, he's a good liar and actor," Fox said.
"Cub's done all these missions in one year?" Wolf asked, obviously shocked.
"Poor kid," Coyote said.
"Wow…just, wow!" Eagle said. The sergeant was silent. Suddenly, Alex started mumbling in his sleep. "No…no…Ash, don't…" Then he started screaming. Alex sat up, damp from sweating, panting hard.
"Cub, are you ok?" Coyote asked him.
"Depends on your definition of Ok," Alex said.
"What was your nightmare about?" Eagle asked him.
"Ash blowing up the airplane with my parents in it," Alex said with a haunted look in his eyes. Surprisingly, he felt something wet rolling down his cheek. He wiped his eyes and went into the bathroom to splash water on his face. He looked in the mirror. There was something wrong with what his reflection was showing him. There was something different. He looked the same, but the look in his eyes was different. They were eyes that have seen too much. Suddenly, there was another reflection there. It was Wolf.
"We read your file," Wolf said and Alex froze. "It's pretty impressive, but I'm wondering why you had to do all that?"
"Unfortunately, I can't tell you," Cub said.
"Why not!" Wolf asked.
"It's classified! I'd be breaking the Official Secrets Act! I can't tell you!" Cub yelled back.
"Yes, you can! You're part of my unit and my unit doesn't keep secrets from me!"
"I was blackmailed into doing this crap!" And with that, Alex ran out of the cabin, leaving a dumbfounded Wolf behind. He headed for the trees and ran as fast as he could until he found a clearing in the woods. There was a pond and a comfortable looking rock.
Alex's POV
I sat on the rock and looked at my reflection while I silently cried. Why is my life so messed up? Why can't anything in my life be normal? "Why me?" I asked to no one in particular. When is my life going to go back to normal? That was my last thought before I fell asleep.
Wolf's POV
I'm an idiot. That's what I kept thinking while I ran through the forest looking for Cub. He's a fast runner. I've been looking for him for an hour now. I found a clearing and saw Cub sleeping on the rock. I walked up to him slowly so I wouldn't wake him up. He had tear stains on his face. I carefully picked him up and walked back to the cabin.
When I opened the door, everyone turned their heads to look at who entered. The sergeant was still there and spoke first.
"Took you long enough. Where did you find him?"
"Sleeping on a rock in a clearing in the forest," Wolf said as he laid Cub on his bed. Finally, the sergeant left and everyone fell asleep.
