This is my first Fan Fiction, so I want reviews, please.

This is a Alex Rider and The Power of Five Cross over. They're both Horowitz stories so enjoy.


Alex Rider walked into the Royal and General Bank for the first time since being shot two months ago. Alex was filled with dread, knowing that they wanted him for another mission. Where would they send him this time? He could only begin to imagine.

As he waited for the elevator that would take him to Blunt’s office he noticed all the ‘bankers’ walking around. It didn’t fool him; he knew that they were all MI6 agents, waiting for their next assignment.

“Alex, how are you feeling?” asked a voice from behind him.

It was Mrs. Jones, yet again sucking a peppermint.

“Fine, but would you tell me why I’m here?” said Alex sourly.

“All in due time, Alex, all in due time,” she replied, distantly.

As they walked into the office they saw Blunt sitting behind his desk with six people on the other side. There were five children about Alex’s age and one male adult.

“Alex, nice to see you again,” Blunt said looking away from the other people in the room.

“I wish I could say the same, Mr. Blunt,” said Alex, coldly. Blunt chose to ignore his reply.

“Alex Rider, I’d like to introduce you to, Richard Cole” Richard was the adult; he had short brown hair and strong dark eyes.

“And this is Matthew Freeman,” he had broad shoulders, short brown hair and blue eyes. He watched Alex warily.

“Pedro,” he was very skinny with dark skin, brown eyes and short dark brown hair. He seemed South American, and you could tell he didn’t understand half of the English spoken.

“Scott and Jamie Tyler,” They were two twin boys, both with slim figures, dark brown eyes and straight black hair. One of them seemed a tiny bit larger than the other, the only difference in their otherwise identical appearances. “And Scarlett Adams,” The only girl had a slight Asian appearance with green eyes and long, straight black hair.

After they exchanged greeting’s Alex took a seat next to Richard, without taking his eyes off Blunt.

“Please, don’t tell me I’m going to be looking after another kid,” complained Richard.

“I’m sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Cole, but I can look after myself,” replied Alex coldly.

“Alex you have been brought here today, to be informed that you are no longer a student at Brookland Comprehensive School,” Blunt said simply.

“What? You can’t just take me out of school like that!” exclaimed Alex, “Where am I supposed to go to school then?”

“Alex, calm down please. We are taking you out of school but your education doesn’t stop there. You will be home-schooled with Matthew, Pedro, Scott, Jamie and Scarlett,” stated Mrs. Jones calmly.

“What? Why does he have to stay with us?” asked Matthew standing up, his face turning red with anger.

“Nexus wished the five of you to have protection. That’s what Alex is here for.”

Before Blunt knew what was happening all of the children were on their feet, yelling at each other and at the surrounding adult’s.

“ENOUGH!” bellowed Blunt standing up to gain attention, “Alex is here for your protection, and you’d do well to understand that.” He took a deep breath and calmly sat down as though the screaming had not just taken place.

“Now, the seven of you and Miss. Starbright will be moving to central London, where we have gotten Mr. Cole a job at the London Times. While Mr. Cole is at work Miss. Starbright will be looking after you,” informed Mrs. Jones.

“Wait, what can a fourteen year old boy do about protection?” asked Richard confusedly.

“Alex is very capable of protecting himself and others, not to mention the fact that we have a team of S.A.S. men watching your new house,” said Blunt.

Just as Mr. Blunt had finished Richard’s mobile rang. Flipping it open he muttered a few short words and then promptly hung up. Looking up at Blunt muttered resignedly,

“Ok then Mr. Blunt. So when are we meeting this ‘Ms. Starbright?’”

“A car is waiting outside to take you back to Chelsea to pick up Alex’s belonging’s and Ms. Starbright, then the seven of you will be going to you new home.”


So that’s the first chapter I want to know what you think. The next chapter will be done very soon and I'd like to thank dappledsunlight for being my editer.

Thanks for reading
