Will Alex work with MI6?

[arkendra]

i would be totally unsurprised if alex worked for MI6/CIA/ASIS again. he always says he's not going to involved but no matter how determined he is he always ends up involved. so yeah....XD

[jameshunter]

he doesn't have a choice. once he's involved he can't just quit.

*spoilers*

No I do not think Alex will ever work for MI6 or any of the intelligence agencies. In Snakehead, he learns about Ash; about how Ash was badly injured in the field (he could never sleep or eat the same) and how MI6 responded by degrading and criticizing him for failing the mission, then firing/demoting him. Then Ash took his revenge by joining Scorpia.

Alex has always been paranoid and resentful of MI6, especially of their blackmailing techniques, but only now does he realize the horrors that working for MI6 could actually do to him. At the end of Snakehead, when Alex rejects Blunt's offer, he really means it.

lol, maybe Alex will work for the LEP 

[jameshunter]

if he doesn't work for them then what will his job in life be?

[Artemis Fowl]

Well, in Stormbreaker, he said that he wanted to become a footballer or a train-driver or something like that...

[arkendra]

lol, Artemis Fowl...

alex could be a lot of things. he's talented.

wow, a train-driver? Cool. But wouldn't it bore him?




and  I don't think Alex will, when he turns 16 or 18, he has a lot more choices than working with MI6.

It was in Ark Angel he said he wanted to be a train-driver, but I always thought he was being sarcastic. (he was responding to the people trying to convince him that every child's dream was to go into space.)
I still think he will work for them. It's true about Ash, but maybe Ash's real character was just revealed through the accident. If he was only working for money (he says he isn't a patriot) than it really didn't matter who's side he was on.
Alex isn't a patriot either, but maybe he will be. His father and uncle were.
I think that if he didn't do spy work, he would miss it. Who wants to grow up to work at a desk after saving the world multiple times?

AR doesn't like putting himself in dager but in point blanc, i believe, he trashes these drug dealers boat (i think, it's been a while) and he's not on a mission. so it's hard to tell

[arkendra]

Ash might not have been working for the money. He might have just enjoyed spy work, like Tamara Knight... or not.

I can't remember anything about Alex wanting to be a train driver. And it sounds sarcastic, yeah.

[Tamara_Knight]

Yeah in Point Blanc, he thinks that his old self would have called the police, but his new self did what he did. "Anything is better than double homework."
I think Ash says he considered it just a job. And Major Yu said that Ash didn't want to kill John Rider, but he did...for the money. And because they needed him to prove that he could be trusted.

if alex doesnt work for mi6 as a teen again i think he will as an adult because he'll be stronger so mi6 would try to use him again

[jameshunter]

first of all, ASH didn't just work for money, he did to get back at MI6 for talking bad about him.

and also the black parade is right. although over time he'd start to forget some of the things he was taught so they'd ask him from time to time, what i think.

[the black parade]

maybe im not right im  just onto something good (i dont like to get to full of myself)
