I don't own the characters: Xander Cage (TripleX), Yelena, Gibbons, or the term/location: NSA headquarters.

Chapter One - New Mission

Xander and Yelena left their nice vacation in Borabora and went back to his home. When they arrived, Xander's communicator went off again. He flipped it open to see Gibbons' face on the miniature screen.

"What a surprise." Xander said sarcastically.

"TripleX, I got a new mission for you." Gibbons said.

"Can't you let a guy rest?" Xander said.

"Too much rest will make you lose your touch, TripleX" Gibbons warned. He knew that Xander would freak if he lost his touch.

"Fine." Xander said. "So, how many times are you gonna shoot me with a tranquilizer this time?"

"Very funny." Gibbons said, laughing. "Very Funny. Unfortunately, there won't be any tranquilizers. Xander, a helicopter should be arriving any moment to bring you to NSA headquarters." Then Gibbons' image disappeared as they heard a very loud helicopter.

"These guy don't seem to mind the whole damn world seeing 'em, do they?" Xander said as he ran out the door. "See ya soon, Yelena!"

"Be Careful!" Yelena called.

"Hey! You gotta remember who your talkin' to!" Xander yelled.

Yelena simply laughed as he got on the helicopter. She knew he wouldn't be careful, she just felt like saying it.

Xander arrived at NSA headquarters in a bad mood. He had been looking forward to a big party with his girl, and all his buddies/fans. But, no he had to go on another mission and save the world. He stalked into the Intel room where Gibbons was waiting for him.

"Well, the Prodigal Son returns." Gibbons said.

"Don't start on that religious stuff." Xander warned. "Will you just fill me in on the mission so I can go kick some ass and get home?"

"All right." Gibbons said. "Some Russians and Germans have joined to create yet another weapon of mass destruction. A satellite that will shoot a missile at the earth, destroying all human life. Except them and their close family and friends, of course. They've set up their domain somewhere in Germany. "

"Is that all?" Xander asked. "Well, they can't be that much trouble. When do I leave?"

"In an hour." Gibbons replied. "You'll also have a partner on this mission. She's been in Germany for the last three years establishing contacts, and gaining connections and information. She owns a very popular club in Berlin. Here is her info right here."

With that, Gibbons pressed a button and an image of his new partner came up on one of the huge screens with all the info they had on her.

"You gotta be kidding me." Xander said.
