on being apped to asgard along with his best friend | canon is baby spies: aka the alex rider books

We've been here before, you know. Somebody wants something from me, they use Jack to get it. It's not exactly original, is it? I would have expected Norse gods to come up with something better than stealing coercion techniques from MI6.

It's fine. I'll fight their war against the frost giants and Ragnarok, all of it. Just as long as you promise to keep her out of it. Anything happens to Jack, and the whole deal is off.

( but the most depressing thing is: alex knows he hasn't really got a choice. he's only saying these things to make himself feel a little better about the whole thing. even the illusion of control of better than fear. )
