#I was actually gonna make this happy about how yassen could have like settled down after Eagle strike and started a new chapter in his life

'to love is to be changed'

Yassen didn't really believe he'd be capable of genuinely caring for anyone, not Cossack, the emotionless agent of Scorpia, whose only interest was himself and money.

He also didn't think he would change, after all, he would always have the same objective until his early death as an assassin.

So he did find it quite surprising when Alex rider, a child in a world that was not his own, came along.

Because suddenly yassen cared for someone

Suddenly yassen found himself scared to lose someone

Suddenly yassen hardly cared about his own life, as long as alex was safe

And that is how he found himself lying on the floor in the Air force one, bleeding out

As the world was fading out and his eyes began to close, he knew he was dying, but he also knew that he felt more alive than he had in over a decade
