A Goodreads user asked Stuart Gibbs:

Will Ben Ripley ever team up with another agent? Like they do with Marvel comics? It would be so cool if Ben Ripley went on a mission with Jason Steed, Erika would be going gooey heart crush on Jason and ben would hate it, but Jason is not as smart as Ben so they would need each other to catch SPYDER spies.

Stuart Gibbs At this point, I think it would be quite hard to team up Ben with another writer's character. The other authors and I would have to agree to write a story together, which is often far more difficult than just writing one yourself. I have already generated a few ideas for future stories with Ben & the rest of the spy school gang, while I'm sure that there are plenty of ideas in the pipe of Jason Steed as well, so we wouldn't be able to blend them for several years down the road.
