Eres Seguro Conmigo

For those of you who cannot speak or read Spanish, the title is 'You Are Safe With Me', I just thought it'd sound cooler in Spanish. Well, that, and I thought it'd have more emotion, since that's what this is about. So this is a fanfic about Ben Daniels/Fox and how he deals with Alex. Mind you, Alex is different. I also didn't go with the books, and Alex was captured by SCORPIA along with Jack. You'll see how that went if you read. And for those of you who love reading about K-Unit, they'll be in here (hopefully a lot). All of the chapters will be in Ben's POV. Also, Mrs. Jones is the head of MI6 now.

I also had an, er, idea, that I couldn't ignore. I had it after the results were already in, so don't blame me for not telling you. Anyways, Alex is gonna be a girl. There will probably be eventual Eagle/Alex, and Eagle will act a lot gentler and calmer around her. Sorry for the people who don't want it, I just find Eagle/Alex so cute, and I'm not really comfortable doing it with Alex as a boy.

I do not own Alex Rider. Here we go:

Chapter One: Confusion

confusion (kǝn-fyōō'zhǝn) n. 1. The act of confusing or state

of being confused. 2. Disorder; jumble. 3. Distraction; be-

wilderment. 4. An early stage of psychosis involving mental

and emotional disturbances. -con∙fu'sion∙al adj.

I suppose I could say it all started when I took Alex home to my place, when I insisted on adopting her, or even when I found her lying inside her cell, bleeding and bruised. But then I'd be lying. Because it all really started on a Saturday night at 9:39 PM. I was at Wolf's house with the rest of K-Unit, not counting Badger, my replacement. We were celebrating the New Year, even if it technically didn't start until midnight. Wolf had just disappeared into his kitchen (although none of us were really sure if it qualified as that, since it was really just used as a holding place for junk and beer). But that was exactly what he had just gone to get; beer. Of course, he would make sure to only grab three so we could avoid a Code Eagle. A Code Eagle was, if you haven't guessed yet, what all of the SAS and friends called a situation when Eagle got hyper. A hyper Eagle could be caused by practically anything- chocolate, beer, alcohol, coffee, an amusement park or zoo, hearing that he won free tickets to a Lady Gaga concert, and a lot of other stuff. So, naturally, we tried to avoid things like that. We were especially concerned because we'd had one every day of this week (like I said, a lot of things can cause a Code Eagle), and we were really hoping not to get one today. Two hours and twenty-one minutes to go. Wolf came back out with, thankfully, only three beers in hand.

Eagle grinned happily, "Oooooh, I want one!"

Let me rephrase my earlier statement. A Code Eagle was when we got a really hyper Eagle. Otherwise, we'd have a Code Eagle 24/7. But anyways, that's beside the point, and, really, it's not at all what this story is about. So, back to the story.

Wolf had just tossed two beers to Snake and I, keeping one for himself and making sure not to let Eagle have any, when the phone rang. We automatically knew who it was. Who else, after all, would call at this time of day? Or, er, night.

So anyway, Wolf gave Snake his beer to hold onto and then picked up the phone, barking out a less-than-polite greeting of, "This is Wolf, whaddya want?"

I told you it was less-than-polite. *sigh* You should have listened to me.

There was a bunch of garbled talk that I supposed was the secretary of some low MI6 agent. Basically, someone like me. Or, what I used to be- that all changed when I met Alex. Anyways, Wolf immediately blanched (how'd they do that?) and hurried to apologize(?).

"I'm, uh, so sorry, Mrs. Jones." Wolf gabbled. Mrs. Jones? She's the head of MI6! There was no way Mrs. Jones was calling Wolf for an assignment. Wolf was like me. He only got his orders from an agent (low ranking, but sometimes Crawley) or the Sergeant. But I knew, somehow, that Wolf hadn't made a mistake. For some reason or another, Mrs. Jones had called Wolf, and it was becoming increasingly apparent that it was for another mission.

Soon, Wolf hung up, and addressed us as I stood up to leave. What? I'm not a part of K-Unit anymore, no matter how much I want to be. Plus, this was National security we're talking about. Wolf couldn't go blurting everything out to just anyone.

"Wait, Fox." Wolf ordered me. "This involves you, too."

It involves me? There was no way, no way, that this was true. I mean, c'mon, Wolf getting a phone call from the head of MI6 that involved me? Not happenin'. It wasn't that it wasn't physically possible, just that, well, I'm me. Benjamin Daniels, a former SAS soldier who had been codenamed Fox before becoming an agent for MI6. There was nothing special about me, nothing at all. I mean, sure, so I worked with Alex Rider and lived, but-

"It's about Alex, isn't it?" I could've kicked myself. I'd signed the OSA (Official Secrets Act), and I knew I couldn't talk about that! But, to my surprise...

"Wha- how'd you know?" Wolf asked, puzzled.

"You mean it is about he- him?" I asked, quickly correcting myself.

That was another thing I'd signed the OSA on, and I knew K-Unit didn't know about it. See, everyone thought that Alex, aka Cub (her SAS codename), was a boy. That way, it'd be a lot harder for people to recognize her. I was one of the few, fortunate people who knew her real identity. She wasn't really Alexander John Rider, but Alexandria Helen Rider. She kept her hair short and wrapped her, ah, feminine chest parts, and voila! She became a he. The fact that she'd always gone by Alex helped a lot, too. Her SAS codename wasn't really Cub, either, but Kitten, Kit for short. Only Alex, Mrs. Jones, the sergeant, and I knew that. Oh yeah, and Jack and Tom, her guardian and best friend. But yeah, back to the present.

Wolf and Snake gave me weird looks, but Eagle just jumped around, singing, "We're gonna see Aaaa-leeex, we're gonna see Aaaa-leeex, we're gonna see-"

"Shut up, Eagle!" Wolf yelled.

"Wait a minute," Snake asked, looking confused. "Who's Alex?"

"Oh, yeah," Wolf said, scratching the back of his head and beginning to look uncomfortable, "I never told you about Point Blanc, did I?"

I perked up, as Alex had given me the short, run down version, but not the entire story. All I knew was that she'd infiltrated a school for clones, gone down a mountain on an ironing board, been hit by a train, was coerced into going back into the school, met Wolf, was saved by Wolf, and 'sleighed' the bad guy, whatever that meant.

"Well, ya know how I met an agent and eventually saved him, taking a few bullets?" Wolf asked nervously.

"Yeah." Snake said slowly, drawing it out.

"Well, er, the agent was Cub. And Cub's real name is Alex." Wolf said.

Well, screw my plan of getting more information. Looks like Wolf already told them everything. Boohoo. Now everyone knows but me. Ah well. Whatever.

"Cub is an MI6 agent?" Snake shrieked.

Oh great, now Snake's gonna go all mother henny on us. Or, rather, Alex. Shoot! That's a really bad thing. He could end up finding out about, ah, Alex's feminineness. I mean, I guess it'd be nice to not have to hide anything anymore, but you get my gist. It'd be bad, but good at the same time.

"Uh, yeah." Wolf said. "But, um, well, Fox knew, too!"

Well thanks, Wolf. I really want to be attacked by a mother henning maniac named Snake for withholding 'crucial and important information'. Please note the sarcasm.

"Fox!" Snake shrieked. "Why didn't you tell me? That was crucial and important information!"

See what I'm talking about?

"Wait!" I said, desperate to start talking and using my incredible spy skills so I could get myself out of this mess. "What did Mrs. Jones want?" Oh yeah, that was also a lot more important than me withholding information from Snake.

Wolf's eyes widened, and you could tell he forgot something.

"Sh- shoot!" Wolf quickly amended after seeing Snake's glare. Mother hen, I'm telling you. "Mrs. Jones wants us to meet her in her office at eight tomorrow morning."

Huh? What could she want with us?

"Badger, too?" Snake asked.

Wolf shook his head, "No. For some reason, she only wants the four of us. I don't know why."

I did. Or at least, I thought I knew. But I couldn't say anything. I knew Mrs. Jones would want to tell them herself. Because Wolf had said this had to do with Alex. So that meant-

"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Eagle yelled, interrupting my thoughts.

The sane people in the room (aka everyone except Eagle) turned to look at Eagle. He was running around Wolf's living room, arms out at his sides, and it was easy to see what he was acting like. He thought he was an airplane.

"Alright, who gave Eagle alcohol?" Wolf demanded, staring at the glass that Eagle held in his hands.

I checked my hands. Yep, still there. I looked at Snake, who was staring in horror at the table top. There was one bottle of beer. Wolf glared at Snake, getting what I suspected. Wolf had given Snake his beer to hold while he answered the phone. Snake therefore put the two beers he was then holding onto the table top. Eagle took one of those beers and drank it. We all groaned simultaneously. We had a Code Eagle.

"So, um, Fox." Wolf began.

"Yeah?" I asked, still staring at the now drunk and energetic Eagle.

"You can stay the night if you want."

"Sure, why not?" I groaned, turning so I faced the coach and flopping down. Wolf and Snake could deal with the Code Eagle. After all, it was Wolf's beer and Snake's fault. I had nothing to do with it.

I fell asleep listening to the struggles of my old unit mates, wondering how in the world I ended up with them. For the first time in my life- Well, okay, maybe not the first, but whatever. For one of the first times in my life, I was utterly and hopelessly confused.

Okay, so not as long as I wanted it, but definitely longer than some of my other pitiful chapter ones in my other stories. Anyways, I'm sorry that I took so long getting this up, but I was on vacation. Also, I would love to set a time for when I'll update, but I can't do that, as this is, literally, the only chapter I currently have written. So yeah, I have no idea when I'll be able to update. However, I will try to do it as fast as possible.
