A/N: Guess what? I'm typing this up on my brand new computer!…Well, actually, it's not new new, I mean, it's used, but it's new to me, get it? And it has a wave keyboard! Wooo!

OK peeps, review answer time!

Panther Nesmith: So many questions! I'm only gonna answer two, though. The twins might play an important role, I dunno yet. Jennsen will play a HUGE role. Oh, and God bless Jean bashing! = P

27sp: Yes, you are right…and that's all I'm gonna say about that. Don't want to give everything away, wot! (I have got to cut back on the Redwall books!)

Shadow of the Sword: Jean annoys me too. So does Evan. And I'm not sayin' a word about who I want to become an agent. Mum's the word!

The Last Ronin: I checked out the site, and I love it! In fact, one of the pics is now my wallpaper! But I don't really know enough about the New Mutants yet to use them a whole lot. I'm trying to fix that, though. =)

Jenny: I totally agree--Ack! I sound like Kitty!!!…could be worse, though. I could sound like…Jean. *shudders*

Ishandahalf: you and everybody else! I am getting more requests for Kitty…and I agree with em all!!

Krazy Xanadu: Thanx, and the same to you. And the chicken is in the backyard playing with his best friend, Hampter the Hampster. (I have WAAAAAY to much time on my hands! = P ) Oh, and sorry bout your throat. Feel better soon, K?

Rogue151: YOU'RE FIRST AGAIN!!! I never knew Danvers was an agent. Oh, the possibilities! I'll have to confer with my muse about that. I'm the same way with summaries. To me it's like, if yer gonna tell a story, tell the friggin story! Don't be leavin things out unless it improves the piece. I think it's the author in me. I hate taking away from a good piece of literature, y'know? Who was that Haladiki guy? He's not ringin any bells. Maybe if you gave me some more details...

Okay you all get a deck of exploding cards! Have fun!

Now please enjoy this next episode of my little piece of work!

Rogue151, this chapps basically for you, fer obvious reasons.

Rogue sat in the living room, watching everyone around her. Kurt and Evan were having a rematch at foosball, while a crowd of students cheered them on. Hank and Xavier were playing a game of chess, which Scott was watching with great interest. Kitty, Jean, Bobby, and Amara were watching a rerun of Alias.

None of these things interested Rogue. Her thoughts were on one thing only: who to recruit. She looked around at her options. The Professor was out, because he already had enough to deal with. The same went for Hank and Ororo. Logan hated the government too much because of the Weapon X project. There wasn't a snowball's chance in Hell that he'd ever work for the CIA. Scott was out, for the same reason as the Professor. Plus, Rogue wasn't entirely sure he could keep something like this a secret from Jean.

Rogue looked over at the redhead. Jean, with her sports events and her parties and dates with Scott (or Duncan, depending on the day of the week), had little free time. She could never do all of that and missions for the agency. Darn.

Bobby was another automatic out. The reason was simple: he had too much power, and not enough experience. In fact, the same went for all the New Mutants. So that just left Kitty, Evan, and Kurt.

Evan was far too irresponsible. Rogue laughed inwardly at the thought of him as a CIA agent. He'd be the laughing stock of the agency. So, by process of elimination, the new recruits would be Kitty and Kurt.

Oh, God, she thought, as if Ah don't see enough of those two already. An' Ah just know Smith's gonna think Ah chose Kurt just 'cause he's my brother. What is his problem, anyway? He's been a pain ever since--she noticed Jean watching her. Rogue narrowed her eyes as she felt her mind being probed, albeit gently.

"What's wrong?" Jean asked. Rogue projected her answer as a single thought.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!

Jean's eyes widened momentarily, then she went back to watching the TV. Rogue continued staring at the redhead for a few minutes, then turned her attention to Kitty. The valley girl was sitting on the edge of her seat, obviously enjoying the show--even though she had seen it twice before. A commercial brake came on, and Kitty began talking animatedly to Amara.

"Man, this show is, like, so cool! I wish I was a CIA agent." Rogue laughed inwardly at the irony. Kitty wanted to be an agent, and Rogue wanted to make her one. But first she had to convince Agent O'Connell that Kitty was agent material.

Well she is a computer whiz, Rogue thought. Not to mention the fact that she's the only freshman taking astrophysics. If nothing else, she could work with the techies.

Having decided Kitty's fate, she turned in her chair to watch the foosball game between Kurt and Evan. Both boys were putting their all into the game--Rogue had never seen Evan work so hard. Apparently that wasn't hard enough, because Kurt spun his goalie hard, sending the ball flying into Evan's goal.

"Tur!" Kurt shouted, throwing his hands in the air. Evan put the ball back on the table. He kicked it to Kurt's end of the table, but the elf sent it right back. They continued passing it back and forth, until…

"Tur! I vin! I am invincible!" Scott laughed.

"Nice to know you're so humble." Kurt ignored him, and began doing a victory dance.

Rogue watched him, trying to remember why she had decided on making him an agent. Kurt unknowingly reminded her when he started showing off his acrobatic skills: vaulting off chairs, swinging from the chandelier, etc. Anyone who could move like that would make an excellent field agent.

Her mind made up, Rogue quietly got up from her seat and went to her room. She turned on the computer and opened up her e-mail. Then she opened a file labeled 'School projects.' It was actually a stenography program, used to encode messages. Once it was open, she began typing a message for the CIA.

To Agent O'Connell:

I have made my decision regarding the new recruits. First is Katherine "Kitty" Pryde. Her power is the ability to phase through solid objects. She is highly intelligent, practically a child prodigy. Like all of the X-men, she is excellent physical condition.

My second choice is Kurt Wagner, my adopted brother. He has the appearance of a furry blue devil, complete with tail, and also has the ability to teleport. This, combined with his acrobatic talent, would make him an excellent field agent.

I am attaching full biographies of them both to this letter. Please give me an answer ASAP.

~ Agent Rogue.

The stenography concealed the e-mail as an add. Once it was sent, Rogue decided to go watch the tail end of Alias while she waited for the reply. She sat down beside Bobby, who looked thoroughly confused.

"What's wrong?" Rogue asked.

"I don't get this," he said, gesturing to the screen. "Which side does the chick work for?"

Kitty, who happened to be listening, rolled her eyes. "Haven't you been paying attention? She works for the CIA as a double agent."

"But whose that guy?" he pointed to the screen.

"That's Arven Sloan," Rogue supplied. "Leader of SD-6. That's what Sidney's workin' to destroy."

"Why?"

Amara sighed. "Can you please wait until a commercial brea--never mind, one just started."

"SD-6 is, like, the reason Sidney's fiancée is dead. They murdered him when she told him she worked for the CIA."

Now it was Jean's turn to look confused. "But why did SD-6 care if he knew Sidney was with the CIA?"

Three sets of eyes stared at her.

"You don't watch this show much, do you?" Amara asked. Jean shook he head.

"Okay," Kitty said. "Who wants to explain it to her?"

"Ah will. See, when Sidney first became an agent, she was workin' fer SD-6, which she thought was a black-ops division of the CIA. But when she told Danny--that's her fiancée--Sloan had him killed. Then Sidney found out SD-6 was part of the Alliance of 12, an organization dealing in espionage, weapon trades, that kinda thing. So now she works as a double agent for the real CIA to bring down the Alliance."

"Oh," Jean said still looking confused. The show came back on and Rogue proceeded to ignore her. When the show ended, Rogue considered going upstairs to check her e-mail, but decided against it. It had only been fifteen minutes, after all. Instead, she decided to stay and watch a movie with everyone else (the crowd that had been watching the foosball game was now seated around the TV).

"What movie should we watch?" Bobby asked. Immediately people started yelling out ideas.

"10 Things I Hate About You."

"Terminator 2"

"Finding Nemo"

"Jamie, that's, like, still in theaters!"

"Oh. Then I vote Coyote Ugly."

Several guys agreed, but the girls shook their heads. "We watched that last weekend," Amara said.

It was Scott who finally ended the argument.

"I know a movie we can all agree on," he said. "It's got plenty of action, romance, and not everyone has seen it."

"What is it?" Jean asked.

"Daredevil."

Bobby grinned. "More Jennifer Garner? Alright!"

For the next two hours they watched the movie, completely absorbed by the Matt/Electra romance. Rogue especially loved the romance scene on the roof…not that she'd ever admit it. As the end credits started to roll she climbed upstairs to check for a reply from O'Connell. To her surprise, it was there, disguised as an add for hair gel. She quickly decoded it and began to read.

To: Agent Rogue

I have reviewed your letter, as have several of my superiors. It has been decided that Katherine Pryde and Kurt Wagner will be admitted to the agency. Bring them to HQ tomorrow after school. You have until then to explain the situation to them.

~ Agent O'Connell

Rogue deleted the letter, and went downstairs. She had been thinking about how best to break the news to them, and was ready.

"Hey Kurt, Kitty, c'mere!" she called from the bottom of the stairs. Kurt 'ported next to her, with Kitty in tow.

"Vhat's up?" he asked.

"Ah gotta show you something. C'mon." She led them up to her room, shutting the door behind them.

"Well, what is it?" Kitty asked. Rogue silenced her by holding up a finger, then turned the radio on loudly enough to prevent anyone from eavesdropping. She pulled Kurt and Kitty into a corner, and began explaining everything to them in a hushed voice.

"Y'all aren't gonna believe this, but it's the truth. But first, you have t'understand, this is a complete secret. You can't tell anyone, not even the Professor, got it?" They both nodded, identical looks of curiosity pasted on their faces. Rogue took a deep breath.

"Ah work fer the CIA."

A/N: Dun dun duuuun! I was gonna keep going, but then I realized, 'hey, this would be a great stopping point!' so I stopped. But not to worry, the next chappy will be up soon.

Review, and get…a credit card that Xavier pays for! (Hey, he can afford it!)

Bye, y'all!
