Where You Belong

Chapter 13

Alex had to admit that he had enjoyed that. He didn't understand the hatred that smug face had against him, but if he had to guess it had something to do with the fact that Yassen was training him.

One thing he had learned was that Yassen was respected in this world, in Scorpia. He was the top of the Scorpia agents, and of course someone that wanted to do the same would want the best teaching them.

Instead, the best of the best was spending his time training someone that didn't even want this, a child to make matter worse.

Of course, smug face hates him, Alex would be surprised if the other didn't resent him.

But to be fair even if Yassen wasn't training him, he doubted he would train anyone else. He certainly would train someone that was beaten by a schoolboy.

Not that Alex was taking pity on smug face, if he would to take pity on someone it would be himself. His life was turning to be a shit show in the last year.

So no, Alex wasn't sorry for smug face, in fact he would enjoy rubbing that fact in his face, just so he could watch his face turned into a ripe tomato.

Alex ate his lunch in silence, enjoying the moment of peace. He was halfway done with the meal when the others started to arrive, and to his enjoyment smug face held a noticeable limp appearing to be in pain while walking, and to pair with that Alex could see a bruise starting to form on his face.

Yassen must have noticed the satisfaction on his face "you shouldn't make more enemies than necessary"

"You were the one that made me fight him" Alex defended. Did Yassen forget that Alex wasn't the one who asked to fight with a man nearly twice his size. Besides, it wasn't Alex fault that smug face didn't like him.

"It was to help you to resolve your issues. It didn't help that you fought dirty"

"that's some bulshit, and you know it, you were the one to tell me to 'think outside the box'" Alex argued making air quotes with his hands" besides I did the world a favour, preventing more people with that face"

Yassen raised his eyebrows at the statement "lunch is over. It's time for your studies " Yassen finally said getting up. 'Great' Alex thought, following the assassin

As he was leaving he could feel the glare on his back, he guessed Scott wasn't that happy.

They walked to Yassen's office, at least that what Alex thought it was.

"We are only spending two hours here, before getting back to training" Yassen informed opening the door.

This time Alex didn't wait to be told before making is way towards his seat. His books were in the corner of the table right where he left them.

He took out a random book 'maths' was the chosen, before he remembers that he still didn't have a pen, having spent the last one Yassen had given him.

But before he could ask, Yassen took out a box and hand it to him. Alex stare it was full of pens, similar to the one that he had use the day before.

He slumped, now that he had at least twenty pens, it was useless drying them off. Alex wouldn't manage to bankrupt Scorpia through expensive pens, after all.

Through the next hours Alex manage to finish the chapter, halfway through Yassen had passed him a calculator, a simple one that barely did the job, nothing that Alex could have used to his advantage.

Just as Alex was finished Yassen got up, he guesses he wouldn't be given any break.

They went outside, the sun already weak, starting to go down, thankfully they were alone, the others were nowhere in sight, so there were no chance that Alex had to go against anyone other than Yassen, not that it was any better, but at least Yassen didn't have any grudge against him, or he didn't appear to have.
