Disclaimer: The only thing here that belongs to me is Stella Stouper. Everything else belongs to Marvel. The woman I used for Stella is Minnie Driver, by the way.

"Charles, is this it?" Stella asked as they arrived. Charles nodded and thanked the driver as they got out, while Erik nodded at the driver solemnly. A few minutes later, Stella found herself in front of a guarded room while Charles knocked. A cheery blond answered.

"Stella, I would like for you to meet my sister, Raven. Raven, this is Stella Souper, the final recruit." he informed her before putting two fingers to his forehead. "Stella, I'm sorry, but Erik and I are needed for a meeting with Agent McTaggart. We'll be back later." he told the last part to Raven. With a smile from Charles and a smirk from Erik, both men were gone. Raven smiled as Stella stepped into the room. A group of people were around a table playing cards.

"Guys, this is Stella." Raven introduced her to the group of staring people. Stella fiddled with her glasses for a moment. "Stella, this is Angel, Darwin, Sean, Alex, and Hank."

"Hi." Stella spoke softly. She sat down next to Raven and they all started talking to her. After a few minutes, Raven had an idea.

"You know, we should come up with code names. We're secret agents now! I'll start. I'm gonna be Mystique!" she exclaimed

Sean huffed playfully. "Damn. I wanted to be called Mystique!" Everyone laughed as she looked over at him. In a matter of seconds, she had scales running down her body and then there was another Sean in her place. She even spoke with Sean's voice.

"Too bad! Besides, I'm way more mysterious than you. What about you" she asked Sean. He thought for a moment.

"I wanna be Banshee!" he exclaimed, to which Hank raised an eyebrow.

"You want to be named after a wailing spirit?" he asked. Sean shrugged.

"You may want to cover your ears." Sean instructed. Everyone did so, and Sean let out a whistle-like scream. The big windows shattered. Raven turned to Angel.

"What about you?" she asked. Angel looked around at everyone.

"My stage name is Angel...and it kind of fits." she said, and she took off her jacket. The wing tattoos on her shoulders peeled off and she hovered above the ground.

"You can fly?" Raven asked.

"Uh huh, and..." Angel spit on the wall, which corroded. By this point, everyone was getting hyped up. Raven turned to Darwin.

"Darwin, what's your name?" she asked. Darwin stood up and walked over to the fish tank.

"Well, Darwin's already a nickname, and it fits, 'adapt to survive' and all." he stuck his head in the water, and gills appeared on his neck. Everyone clapped as Darwin sat down. Alex suddenly turned to Hank.

"What about you, Bigfoot?" he taunted. Stella raised an eyebrow.

"Well," Raven started. "you know what they say about guys with big feet.." she looked at his shoes.

"And yours are a little small, yeah?" Stella finished. Everyone laughed as both girls grinned at Hank. Alex rolled his eyes.

"What can you do, then?" he asked Stella. She smirked.

"Mine's too dangerous. You?" she asked. Alex shook his head and rushed out a 'no'. Stella stared at him for a moment. "Tell you what. I'll show everybody what I can do if you do." she challenged. Alex sighed as he stood. He walked through the window that Sean had destroyed and out into the courtyard.

"Get back when I tell you." he instructed everyone. They all ducked behind the edge of the window and poked their heads out. "Get back!" he shouted. No one listened, and he rolled his eyes. "Whatever." His chest began to swivel, and a huge red beam of light shot out and sliced the statue in half. He turned around and smirked at Stella. "Your turn."

Stella kept a straight face as she stepped out into the courtyard. "It's too dark for these things," she muttered to herself and removed her sunglasses. She turned around to look at the group. Her eyes, she assumed, made them stare at her. She had purple eyes that were slotted not unlike a cat. It was why she wore shades.

"Is that it?" Alex asked, smirking. Stella shook her head and turned back around.

"Darwin," she spoke over her shoulder. "Get in front of them." she waited until he did, and then exhaled. She stuck her arms out as the familiar static feel spread, and then shot electricity from her fingertips. Lightning (as she called it) went everywhere, and completely demolished the statue and a tree. Sean let out a hoot as everyone cheered while Stella walked back over to the group.

Raven turned to Alex. "You should be Havok," and then to Stella "and your name should be Strike."

So! Here's the second chapter! I don't know if I'll update every day, but I'll update when I can. Review?
