Seventeen sees Alex Rider sent to Starling City on a mission to take down SCORPIA (again). This time as Lukas Miller, the son of up-and-coming businessman Jason Miller. Another fake identity, another fake family, another day wondering if he can even remember who he was before all of this.
Oliver Queen wears a different kind of mask, one of his own creation. As he attempts to investigate the new surge of criminals plaguing his city he comes across someone new; a blond kid with haunted eyes. Then, he bumps into him again. And again. And again. (And again.)

Summary
One more death shatters the normalcy of the Pleasures' kindness in California. Alex Rider is sick of people dying because of him, so he does the only thing he can...he becomes someone else.
19-year-old Matthew Smith successfully passes Selection for the British SAS and joins L-Unit, but not everyone seems to appreciate his company...at first. Maybe these people he swore he wouldn't get close to will become the family he needs...unless his enemies are closer than he thinks.
Includes K-Unit and Original Characters in L-Unit--K-Unit will appear around Chapter 16 or so (that's a ballpark) but I plan for this to be VERY long, so they're a very integral part of the story!
This has received a lot of positive feedback on another site, so I hope you'll give it a try :) thank you!

Summary
He lies on the floor, gasping, surrounded by flowers and blood. The ceiling is white. The flowers are blue. The blood is red. It's almost pretty.
Alex laughs, and it comes out sounding like a sob.
———————————-
The flowers started small. Forget-me-nots blooming in Alex's lungs, born from unrequited love and loss. Everyone's dead or gone, MI6 uses him like a tool, and Alex is drowning in blue petals. He won't tell anyone. Won't seek treatment. He'll just keep dying quietly between missions.

Summary
“Do you know what it’s like to be in pain all the time?” The psychologist just kept looking at him, the same neutral expression that nerved him more than it should. “Nobody could understand what I was going through, I just wanted to feel pain free.”
“What happened to you?”
“If I told you you’d think I was crazy, that the drugs had caused me to develop psychosis.” He shook his head and slumped down further into his seat. “I’m the governments best kept secret.”
