I might have started this chapter before I finished the other chapter. I hope you guys enjoy it though. Also this is before Rachel goes to the Institute to learn how to control her powers. I own nothing.

Rachel T. McKenzie stared out the window of the Moonbase looking over the view with a sigh. 'It's almost time for me to be decommissioned.' She thought sadly. 'First we lose Nigel, and I'm certain Numbuh 5 knows where he is. I just wish they would tell me.'

Abigail Lincoln walked into the room and stopped a few feet behind Rachel saluting her. "Numbuh 5 reporting for duty, sir." Abby said seriously.

"At ease Abby, I didn't call you here as a fellow agent." Rachel said making Abby stare at her in confusion.

"Then why did you call me here?" Abby asked as she walked up next to Rachel.

"I get decommissioned in a couple hours, and I need someone to take over for me."

Abby put her hand up in front of her and shook her head. "Oh no, there is no way that are suggesting Abby will lead the KND." Abby said referring to herself in third person. "I can't handle something like that."

Rachel turned towards Abby with a sad look. "Abby, why are you still refusing the job? You're the only one who can fit in for the position since Nigel…" Rachel trailed off and looked away with a sigh.

"You still won't let it go, huh?" Abby asked already knowing the answer. She tipped her hat down and sighed, "Listen Rachel, I can't tell you what is going on because my team is sworn to secrecy. If we would reveal anything about it, then we'll never see him ever again. You have to believe me."

"I do Abby, but sometimes I just wish I knew despite all the consequences." Rachel muttered gripping the metal railing in front of her. "You've done stuff like that all the time. Why can't you do it this once?"

Abby lowered her hat over her eyes and sighed, "Because the risk is far too great for any of us to understand."

"Then you know why I chose you to take my spot. We can't risk another game of I.T." The two shudder remembering who ended up being in charge of the KND.

Abby moved her hat back up and adjusted it with a sigh. "Abby will do it, but you will owe me later for this…if you are able to remember of course." Abby added with a nervous smile.

"I don't know if I'll qualify to join the TND Abby, but we don't know what could happen in the future." Rachel reminded her friend.

"You got that right girl." The two hug with tears escaping their eyes. "Abby will miss you Rachel."

"I'll miss you too Abby." Rachel muttered.

'That was two weeks ago, yet my memories are still here.' Rachel thought as she rubbed her chin as she walked back and forth in her room. 'It doesn't make any sense. The TND never contacted me about me getting my memories back, nor did my memories disappear when I was decommissioned. Something is going on here.' She grabbed her phone and slipped into her jeans front pocket and muttered, "I need some fresh air away from all of this."

Rachel walked down the street with a sigh. 'Let's recall what happened.' She started to think when she passed a couple walking by holding each other's hand. 'Abby didn't tell me what happened to Nigel; I asked Abby to take over as the Supreme Leader; I get decommissioned only not to lose any of my memories; now here I am walking down the street thinking about it with my phone in one pocket and something else in my other pocket.' She stopped in her tracks and slipped her hand into her left pocket. She pulled the device out of her pocket and realized it was a flash drive. "How did this…" Her eyes widen when she remembered the couple passing by her.

Maurice walked down the street with a neutral expression on his face before making a left towards a certain neighborhood. He looked around and stopped when he saw Rachel looking at a flash drive curiously. "Oh man, whatever is on that flash drive could seriously cause some problems." Maurice muttered as he saw Rachel put the flash drive in her pocket and walk off. He pulled his phone out and pressed the speed dial to the TND. "Hey, it's me. Someone is out for Numbuh 362."

"Who is after her?" The person on the other end asked.

"Unknown, but whoever it is gave her a flash drive. She's on her way home to watch it, and this is making me feel a bit uneasy."

"Do you need some backup?"

Maurice narrowed his eyebrows. "No, I still have what I need to reactivate her memories. I just have to reactivate them before she sees what is on that flash drive. I just thought you should know."

"Good luck Maurice."

"That's all I need." Maurice hung up and ran after Rachel sticking his phone into his pocket.

Rachel entered her room and closed the door behind her locking it soon after. She closes the curtains on all her windows and mutters, "This better be worth it." She sits down and turns her computer on.

Maurice makes it to the McKenzie household. "Oh boy, this might be a bit harder than I thought." He says as he scans the large household. "Never knew the girl was this rich."

Rachel sticks the flash drive into the slot on her computer and opens up the only video file on it. "Hello Rachel, I hope you decided to listen to this voice recording that you are about to hear, because there are some things out there that are bigger than what you currently know."

"What?" Rachel breathed confused on what the voice meant.

"Tomorrow something strange will happen to you, and you will definitely feel confused about it. You'll understand what I meant when you see it happen tomorrow." Rachel raised an eyebrow at the comment. "Meanwhile there are people who have gone through the same thing that you will go through. A man known as Professor Xavier will be coming along with two of his students in a couple days to help train you. What you decide to do then is up to you, but you need to keep in mind that this situation will help you in many ways."

"What does she mean by that?" Rachel muttered narrowing her eyebrows.

"Also I know you are wondering how you kept your memories about the KND when you were decommissioned. Well, that's a trade secret, but I will tell you that keeping your memories was completely necessary. I can't tell you much, but there are some people in Professor Xavier's group you can trust. The situations you will get into will help you find Nigel."

Rachel's eyes widen at that. 'What does she mean by that?'

Maurice hid right outside the window when he heard the last couple of sentences. "What did happen to Nigel?" He muttered with a raised eyebrow.

"Rachel, your life up ahead is going to be one of two choices: you can stay with the TND and never be able to find Nigel until you are in your late 30s or you could join Professor Xavier and be able to see him again in your teens. The choice is up to you, and say 'hello' to Maurice for me as well."

The voice recording ended making Rachel feel extremely confused. 'What did she mean?' Rachel asked in her mind.

"I'm not going to lie, but that was confusing." Maurice said sitting on the window sill with one leg on the window sill and the other hanging down.

She turned her head slightly and saw Maurice then turned back to the computer. "Hey Maurice, are you here to bring back the memories that never left?" Rachel asked confusing Maurice.

"Wait, what do you mean your memories never left? You should have been decommissioned until one of us activated the device to bring your memories back." Maurice explained.

"I know, but it confuses me as well. She said that there was something big going to happen that goes beyond the KND and the TND, but she never said what it was." Rachel explained as she turned her chair around completely. "She said something will happen to me tomorrow which worries me."

"Is it life threatening?" Maurice asked narrowing his eyebrows.

"According to her, it will only confuse me more than be a threat."

"That is definitely strange." Maurice muttered rubbing his chin in thought. "Do you think it could be time travel?"

"Maurice, the possibility of time travel is highly unlikely."

"Abby told me about an adventure her team had when facing a girl who wanted to transform everything into being for girls or boys into girls."

"I read the report."

"Do you remember the part where an old man traveled back in time to save Numbuh 4?" Maurice asked smirking in anticipation as Rachel froze in realization.

"You don't think that the woman is from the future, do you?" Rachel asked curiously.

Maurice shrugged, "No clue, but this person knew you still had your memories which proves this person knows something big. The only problem is that she didn't give us much information."

"Yes, that worries me a lot."

"I'll head back to headquarters and have our technician hack the satellite feed to find who the person was that gave you that flash drive." Maurice said climbing back out the window.

"Good luck Maurice." Rachel said before Maurice landed on the ground.

"I'll contact you the moment we got a lead on the person." Maurice ran off leaving Rachel alone to think about the message.

Rachel sighed and pressed the video file again. "Hello Rachel, thought you were going to hear the same message again, huh?" Rachel eyes widen in surprise. We needed to make sure Maurice wasn't around for the next part of the message, and none of it will be repeated either. So once this video recording is over you won't be hearing it again."

"Ah darn it. I should have seen that coming." Rachel muttered bitterly.

"What you are about to be told is private information about Nigel that no one can know." Rachel gulped in anticipation. "He joined the Galactic Kid's Next Door which happens to be an organization above the original KND. Yeah, I know. The situation seems completely out of nowhere, but you have to trust me on this. Why do you think Sector V keeps their mouths shut when you asked about Nigel? They did it so they would have a better chance at seeing him again."

'Oh man, no wonder Abby looked so guilty. Now I feel really bad. Wish I could apologize to her though.' She thought sadly.

"I'll be honest though. The main reason for the second message is because of the Delightful Children from down the Lane." Rachel crossed her arms remembering those kids. "They're Sector Z." Rachel's eyes widen at the news. "You're probably wondering why I'm telling you this. Maurice will be told the same thing about the children, but the reason why I'm bringing this up is because we found a way to destroy the delightfulization completely."

"Is she serious?" Rachel muttered in surprise.

"Yes, I'm serious, but you don't need to worry about it. We're going to have Maurice and the TND take care of the details. You will have more things to worry about that are going to be far worse than you could ever imagine. Now I feel like I'm repeating myself, but you'll start understanding some of the things I was talking about tomorrow. Don't overwork yourself with the way you choose. Good luck."

Rachel blinked a couple times from the statement then noticed the file was gone. 'Huh, the voice recordings were only a one-time thing.' Rachel thought before sighing in confusion. "This is too much to take in for just a day." She muttered closing the window of the now empty flash drive.

Maurice walked down the street acting like everything was alright for a teenager like him. 'What is going on here? Why would they want Rachel to keep her memories? It doesn't make sense.' He thought while keeping a neutral expression on his face as a couple walked by him. 'Who would travel back in time and tell her all of this though? There are too many questions, and we need answers now.' He put his hands in his pockets and stopped walking when he felt something in his left pocket. "What the…" He pulled a flash drive out of his pocket and widened his eyes in surprise. He turned around to find the couple not in sight. "That doesn't make any sense." He muttered looking at the flash drive. He put the flash drive back in his pocket and went back to walk down the street like nothing happened.

That night Rachel slept through the night unaware of the things going on inside her body as a certain gene started to act up. She slept through the activation unaware of an invisible barrier forming around her then disappearing like it never existed. Rachel turned over in her bed unconsciously as her d.n.a. started to reform to fit in her mutant power.

The next morning Rachel woke up and got out of bed with a tired sigh. She stretched her body out and yawned as she tried to wake herself up. 'Man, I need some water.' She thought before leaving her room. She got a glass of water from the kitchen and did her normal morning routine before getting on her computer. She took a sip of water before bringing up the window of the flash drive to find it completely empty. "So I wasn't imagining anything." She muttered closing the window with a sigh. She turned the monitor off then got off her chair. She looked out the window and muttered, "I sure hope you're having better luck than I am Maurice."

Maurice tied the rope around his waist and made sure it was around his waist tightly. "Are you sure we should trust these people?" The teen asked as he tied the rope tightly around his waist as well.

"To be honest, I have no clue, but the Delightful Children haven't been seen the past few weeks which is definitely strange."

"You're right about that. I guess this lead is all we got to go on then." The teen said as the two got near the edge of the giant disgusting toilet bowl at a rainbow monkey amusement park. "Why do adults build disgusting stuff like this?"

"I have no idea man." The two tug their ropes then jump into the hole falling down towards their destination at the bottom of the bowl. 'I am starting to regret this.'

The other teen keeps his eyes on the center of the bowl. The two fall into the center of the bowl and find themselves at the end of their rope a few yards off the ground. The teen looked around carefully and saw some ice on the floor making narrow his eyebrows. "Let's release." He told Maurice. Maurice nodded, and the two release themselves from the ropes and land on their feet in a crouch.

"Did you see anything?" Maurice asked as they stood back up.

"I did." The teen waved his hand for Maurice to follow him, and the two walk over to a small trail of ice making Maurice raise an eyebrow. "Ice, something we know we won't find at the bottom of a ride."

Maurice rubbed his chin in thought and asked, "Do you think they might be leading us to the Delightful Children?"

"Let's hope they are, but the good news is that this wasn't a wild goose chase." The teen told Maurice. "Let's go."

The two walk down the path the ice the being trailed and found themselves in front of a metal door covered with some chains and some locks in front of it. "Oh man, do you have anyway of opening the door? I doubt our strength can break that down."

"You're right about that." The teen replied then looked off to the side to find an axe and a sledgehammer up against the wall. He grabbed the sledgehammer and said, "Grab the Axe Maurice. It seems your informant came prepared for us."

Maurice grabbed the axe and turned towards the door. "Well, let's get this over with sir."

The two smash their weapons against the door and the chains for two minutes when the door and chain finally collapsed into parts of debris. They drop their weapons and walk into the room with determined looks. The two stop when they saw five containment units being held in the wall. "What on earth…" He trailed off while Maurice walked up to the first containment unit. Maurice wiped away the ice and gasped when he saw a tall kid with a beret on his head. "What is it?"

"It's Numbuh 0.2."

Rachel walked through the mall in thought and stopped when she saw KND agents fighting against Teen Ninjas. 'Oh man, if I go over there and help, both sides will know that I have my memories of my past.' She thought sadly. She walked away and forced herself not to watch the fight going on behind her but stopped when she saw Abby standing in front of her. "Is there something you need?" She asked holding herself back from doing anything rash.

"Nah, I thought I saw an old friend of mine is all." Abby said before walking off with a sigh. 'Wish it was easy to talk to her like it would have been with Maurice.' She thought sadly.

"Well, what do we have here?" Someone asked making Abby and Rachel turn around to see her sister and some other teens standing behind her.

"Cree, what are you up to this time?" Abby asked hardening her gaze on her sister.

Cree smirked, "Why Abby, you should know by now that I would recruit some of your old friends who got recently decommissioned. I'm only here to get my new recruit."

"Well, you got another thing coming if you think that…huh?" Abby stopped and looked around to find Rachel gone. "She's gone."

Cree looked around and snapped her finger. "Drat, split up and find her. We need to show the KND that we can get their former leader to join our team." She told them.

"Yeah, like that would happen." Abby said smirking at her sister. "Kids Next Door, BATTLESTATIONS!"

Suddenly the teens found themselves surrounded in seconds by multiple KND agents. "Oh, this isn't good." Cree muttered balling her hands up angrily.

Rachel left the mall quietly and sighed in relief only to stop when she saw Teen Ninjas waiting outside the mall. "There she is guys. The former leader of the KND is within our grasp." One of the teens said as they walked up to her.

Rachel stood there staring at the teens then balled her hands up. 'I've worked for KND as their supreme leader, and now that I got "decommissioned" the teen ninjas are trying to recruit me.' "I'm sorry, but I think you got the wrong person." She said smoothly.

"That isn't really your decision."

"Actually, it is."

The teens surrounded the new teenager and held their guns up at her. "You're coming with us Rachel McKenzie, and you will understand our beliefs really soon." The teen leader said with a smirk forming on her face.

Rachel balled her hands up and said, "You guys have serious issues."

One of teens fired a shot from his stun gun, and a field surrounded Rachel surprising everyone as the shot reflected off the field and hit the teen. "What was that?" One of the teens asked looking at Rachel in surprise.

'What just happened?' Rachel thought looking at the field in surprise. 'Wait a minute, is this what the person meant when something strange will happen that would confuse me?'

"She has some kind of force field around her. She must still have her memories!" One of the teens accused pointing a finger at Rachel.

"No one can keep their memories once they're thirteen stupid." The leader told the teen.

Rachel looked at the field around her then back at the teens. She felt the barrier lower itself and said, "I need to think." She glared at the teens as they raised their guns at her. "Guess the cat is out of the bag." A rope dropped down next to her making everyone except her to look up to find three KND agents Sector V in a S.C.A.M.P.E.R.

The teens look back down to find Rachel half way up the rope already. "She's getting away!" The leader yelled.

"Fly this thing away now!" Rachel yelled up at the pilot.

"You don't have to tell me twice." Numbuh 2 said flying the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. away from the location.

Rachel climbed up the rope and stopped when she got to a certain part of the rope. 'Sorry guys, but we're not supposed to be around each other.' She thought before letting go of the rope.

"Is she crazy?!" Numbuh 4 asked in fright as Rachel fell towards the ground.

"No, she's doing it to keep herself from being found out." Numbuh 2 said as he kept flying the aircraft.

"What do you mean?" Numbuh 4 asked giving Numbuh 2 a confused look.

"Have you ever heard of the Teen's Next Door?"

"No." Both Numbuh 3 and 4 said together.

"Then you guys don't have to worry about it. I only know about the agency because I've gone through the files back at Moonbase." Numbuh 2 explained simply.

"Are they kids who turned into teens and keep their memories about the KND?" Numbuh 4 asked crossing his arms.

"Yes."

"I think she forgot to grab a parachute." Numbuh 3 said making the guys widen their eyes in surprise.

Rachel fell towards the ground and felt her speed increase rapidly. 'I should have thought this through a bit more. Well, at least…wait, the force field that saved me. Could I do that again and save myself from going splat?' She looked down and noticed how close the ground was getting. 'Well, no luck like the present.' She started to think about the force field and crashed into the ground surrounded by a square field. She stared at the square field around and blinked in surprise. "I did it." She muttered as the field around her disappeared. "How did it happen though?"

"There she is!" Numbuh 4 said pointing at the ground.

"She landed safely too, but she didn't even have anything on her to save her from crashing." Numbuh 3 said in surprise.

"She's just that good." Numbuh 2 said before flying the vehicle off

Rachel sees the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. fly off and sighs in relief. "Glad that's over for now." She walked off towards her house putting her hands into her pockets. 'Choosing what to do, huh? I still have no idea how this new power even works, or what it is even if I believe that it's a force field. It could be something completely different for all I know.' She thought with a sigh. 'I feel like I'm confusing my life from KND with things I was just told on the flash drive.' "I hope tomorrow doesn't end up like today did."

Maurice and his teen partner read over the papers as other teen operatives were moving the containment units out of the room. "I'm glad you went with me Jason." Maurice said as they put the papers away in the file.

"Think nothing of it Maurice. While most people would ignore the sudden information from adults, especially ones we don't know, you decided to follow the information, and it turned out to be true. That's why you're a teen operative." Jason said as he handed the file to a teen walking by him. "Make sure this ends up on my desk. I need to through it thoroughly after we're all done with things here."

The teen nodded, "Yes Numbuh 100, sir!"

Maurice watched as the last containment unit left the room and asked, "What should we do now?"

"I need you to gather a small team and find those adults who gave you this information. If your theory is correct about them being form the future, then we can prepare for things that are about to come out way."

"And if they decide not to reveal anything?" Maurice asked narrowing his eyebrows.

"Then they don't want us to get involved or we have no connection with the events."

"That's it?" Maurice asked raising an eyebrow.

"That's all I can come up with right now." Numbuh 100 admitted. "I might find other reasons later on Numbuh 9, but we're teens working undercover. We found sector Z in those containment units because those adults gave us the information, but if they didn't come back Sector Z would have never been found unless an operative knows what happened to them which is highly unlikely."

"Good point."

Jason nodded, "Anyway, get your team and find the adult who gave you this secretive information and get back to me when you figure out who we are looking for."

"You got it sir." Maurice gives his leader a salute then runs off to take care of his mission.

"Good luck Maurice. You always are one of the best recruits we have." Jason muttered putting his hands behind his back. He looked around the room carefully and noticed there was nothing but walls and ice in the room. He nodded and left the room never intending to come back.

Abby stood in the mall looking around the area before nodding her head. "Has she made it back home safely?" Abby asked as Numbuh 86 walked up behind her.

"Yes sir, Rachel has made it safely home." Fanny replied back with a nod.

"You miss her huh?" Abby asked catching Fanny off guard.

Fanny lowered her head and sighed, "Yeah, I miss her, and I thought for sure she would have chosen me to become supreme leader."

Abby turned around and shook her head. "Abby saw that answer coming, but that's not why I asked." Abby walked past Fanny saying, "She still has her memories."

Fanny's eyes widen in surprise and watch as Abby leaves the mall. 'Her memories are still there? I can still talk to her.'

"Don't go visiting her though." Abby said as she reached the door. "There are reasons why she and other operatives keep this stuff secretive from the KND."

"Yes sir." Fanny said sadly.

Abby sighed and turned around with her arms crossed. "You're a good operative Fanny, but we can't intermingle with Rachel for her own safety. Trust me, it isn't an easy task."

'Numbuh 9…' The thought hit Numbuh 86 hard. 'I forgot you lost someone who was your best friend in the KND as well. Now that I think about it, what did happen to Numbuh 1?' Fanny started to think her thoughts becoming jumbled up as Abby leaves the mall with a smirk.

'Mission accomplished.' Abby told herself.

The next day, Rachel stood next to her window looking outside as her brother flies off towards the Moonbase. "Sometimes I wonder how our family never sees this stuff happening." She muttered crossing her arms. "Those people will be showing up today. I wonder what it would be all about." She walked away from her window going to get ready to start her day.

Professor Xavier stared at the screen of the new mutant and read over the small information given. 'Hm, barrier manipulation, that's definitely something Magneto would want on his side.' He thought turning his wheel chair around. Jean, Kitty, I need you two to get ready. We have a new mutant to recruit.

Alright, a recruitment mission, this will definitely clear up my boredom. Kitty said excitingly as she phased into hanger.

Don't get too excited Kitty. You don't know what could happen. Jean said as she walked down the hallway.

I'll worry about it once we get to our destination. Kitty phase up into the Blackbird and walked towards the back of the jet. Wait, is it just going to be the three of us?

Yes, Kathrine, the others are either busy or not needed for this recruitment. Charles said as he and Jean entered the hanger. Are you aboard the Blackbird?

Yes sir, I'm just waiting on you guys.

"She really wanted to do something." Jean muttered with a small smile.

"Indeed…" Charles trailed off in agreement.

Evan walked out of the Danger and sighed in relief. "Glad that's over for today." He muttered as he walked over to the lockers to change out of his uniform.

"Sorry Evan, but you have more training tonight." Ororo said as she walked into the locker room with her arms crossed.

"Ah man, does this have to do with missing training two days ago?"

"Yes, it does. You went out to the skate park without telling anyone about you leaving or missing training."

"I didn't mean any harm to it." Evan muttered with a sigh in defeat.

"I know that Evan, but you need to be more careful. Your new group of friends concerns me." Ororo admitted sitting down on the bench near the door.

"Come on Auntie O. Jake, Spud, and Trixie are great people to hang out with back at the skate park." Evan tried to explain. "Jake knows how to shred with a skateboard even if his lingo is out of date." He said muttering the last part which Ororo still heard.

"True, the way he speaks is weird, but that's the least of my worries." She crossed her legs and narrowed her eyebrows. "Evan, you've slacked off in your training the moment you started hanging out with them."

Evan looked away and sighed, "I just wanted to feel normal again, Auntie O. I didn't mean to slack off in all of my training."

"I know, but you need to remember that your power can evolve without you even knowing it. Aelita should be a good example for that."

Evan chuckled, "Oh yeah, forgot about that incident in the Danger Room that one time."

"Do you see what I'm worried about now?"

Evan nodded and smiled at his aunt. "I get it Auntie O. I'll try to be more careful and to keep my training up. Don't want to drag the team down."

"That's all I ask." Ororo got up from her seat and walked out with a wave. "I'll leave you alone for now, but I expect to see you again tonight."

"Yes mam." Evan watched as his aunt left then sighed in relief. 'Glad she never found out why I leave. It would make her sad if she knew.' He opened his locker door and pulled the picture of him, Danny, Kurt, and Scott. Scott and Danny stood in the back while Kurt and Evan were crouched in the front all smiling for the camera. 'When was the last time the four of us hung out without the girls? Oh yeah, we barely did.' He thought bitterly putting the picture back in his locker. 'I can't blame them though. Danny's got a girlfriend, Scott and Kurt are crushing on Jean and Dawn, and I have no girl I'm crushing on.' He explained in his mind.

"Hey Evan," Scott started making Evan turn his head to Scott, "you want to go with Alex and me to video arcade?"

'Of course, at least they try to hang out.' Evan thought with a smile. 'I really can't stay mad at them.' "Sure man, let me change my clothes really quick, and I'll meet you guys at your car."

"Don't take too long." Alex joked as the brothers left for Evan to change into his normal clothes.

Rachel stared outside her window when she saw a black jet flying over the city. She blinked a couple times then sighed, "I'm guessing that's them." She walked away from her window and went downstairs into the living room. She looked around and heard some humming coming from the kitchen. 'I wonder where Harvey…Oh, right I'm not with KND anymore.' She thought bitterly.

"Hey sis, what are you doing?" Harvey asked as he walked into the living room.

"Just thinking really." She answered as she sat down on the couch. 'Can't really try figuring out what this force field ability is with my little brother around.'

"Oh, are you thinking of joining those rotten teens?"

Rachel snickered and crossed her arms. "After what happened yesterday, I'm better off joining a group of people I can relate to." She answered not realizing the initial meaning to her words.

Harvey smiled lightly and asked, "Well, how about you join…"

"Harvey, why are you asking me these questions?" Rachel interrupted with a raised eyebrow.

Harvey smiled nervously, "Oh, I'm just looking out for my big sister is all." Rachel gave him a dull look making him sigh. "Ok, you use to be a part of an organization known as the KND, and I want you to have your memories back so you join the TND."

Rachel sighed and got up off the couch. "Harvey, I know you have the best intentions, but you just broke a few laws by mentioning the TND and me being a part of the KND." She told him.

"Wait, you still have your memories?" Harvey asked taking a couple steps back. "This is great!"

"Harvey…"

"That means I can actual work beside my sister on missions."

"Harvey…"

"I can imagine it now. My fame with the KND will rise, and I can become the new supreme leader."

"Harvey!"

"Of course I have to…"

"HARVEY!" Rachel practically screeched making the young boy jump in surprise and fear. "The KND and TND are not supposed to intermingle with each other, and how do you even know about it?"

"Uh…" Harvey smiled at his sister nervously and put his hands behind his back. "Would you look at that? I think my squad is calling me."

Rachel grabbed Harvey's ear before he could run off and said, "If you tell anyone that my memories are back, I will send a secret message to the TND to make sure you do not keep your memories of the KND."

"Yes sir." Harvey said with a gulp. "I understand sis."

"Good," Rachel released her brother's ear, "how did you find out about the TND?"

"I just went through the files on your desk when you…were…oh crud." Harvey finished with a mutter as his sister's glare hardened.

"You went through the files on my desk when I was in charge of the KND." Rachel said giving her brother a disapproving stare. She sighed, "I might not be in charge anymore Harvey, but you will tell Abby everything you did when I was in charge."

"Why should I have to do that?" Harvey asked glaring at her while crossing his arms in defiance. "You are no longer with the KND."

"Harvey!" Rachel yelled making the boy flinch. "You are seriously testing my patience right now."

"I was curious okay! I'm going to the treehouse!" Harvey left the room stomping away in anger.

"Harvey, if I find out that you didn't tell Numbuh 5 what you did, I'll make sure she finds out about it." Rachel said as he went to his room. She heard the door slam shut then a jet starting up a couple seconds later. "How have mom and dad never hear that?" She wondered as her brother flew off in his vehicle away from the house.

"Rachel, could you head to the store to buy some more milk? I need it for dinner tonight, and your brother finished the rest for his cereal." Rachel's mom said distracting Rachel from her thoughts.

"Sure thing mom."

Rachel's mom hears her daughter leave and sighs, "She's gone." She put the food down on the counter and pulls out a picture of her daughter with a force field around her. She looks at it sadly and mutters, "Why did you have to inherit the X-gene, Rachel? I didn't want you to be a part of this life." She puts the picture down on the counter and turns her head to the clock. "Charles, you better get here first."

She heard the doorbell ring making her wipe her hands clean from her cooking. She walked to the front door and opened the door to find Charles and two teen girls standing behind him. "Well, this is a bit unexpected." Charles said keeping a calm appearance.

"Hello Charles, I'm surprised Erik hasn't made an appearance yet." Rachel's mother said.

"He's a bit occupied at the moment to continue with his recruitment." Charles encrypted not wanting to reveal what happened a few weeks ago.

"You guys better come inside. Rachel should be back from the store in fifteen minutes." The mother said.

The two teens go in first with Charles coming up close behind them. The mother closed the door behind Charles as Kitty said, "You have a nice place here."

"Thank you, but I know you guys aren't here for pleasantries." The woman said as she sat down on the couch.

"Right, and by the look of it you know about your daughter being a mutant, but does she know about you, Paula?" Charles asked raising an eyebrow at the woman.

Paula looked down with a sigh escaping her mouth. "Why did it have to activate a couple weeks after her thirteenth birthday? She just became a teenager, and it just had to happen." She mutters in distaste.

"Were you hoping she would have unlocked the psychic powers you and your husband have gotten?" Xavier asked raising an eyebrow.

"A woman could hope, but Ness believed that the possibility of them getting the power over Psi would be pretty low. He did say the psychic ability has never been genetic, but she can create force fields now apparently."

"Actually, she has barrier manipulation. She can create and manipulate any type of barrier to her liking or in that sense." Charles tried to explain.

"Barrier manipulation? Hm, I guess mutant powers aren't just simple abilities anymore." Paula joked with a sigh. "Three Psychics and a genius kid fought an alien invasion of some sort and survived, but none of us knew about the existence of mutants until fifteen years ago when you tried to recruit me and Ness to join the team. We refused of course, but it explained a lot of things."

"What are you talking about?" Jean asked raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"She's talking about the past when Magneto and I use to work together, but that's a story for another time." Charles explained leaving no room for arguments. "By the way, where is your daughter?"

"She's out getting some groceries I needed for dinner tonight."

Rachel walked into the house and said, "I'm home!"

"Go ahead and put the milk in the fridge Rachel. I need you o meet me in the living room once you're done." Paula said.

"Ok mom." Rachel said back as she kicked her shoes off and moved them out of the way near the door. She walks into the kitchen and puts the milk away. She throws the bag away and walks into the living room only to stop when she saw the two teens and Charles in the room. 'Well, they got here pretty quick.' She thought. "Uh mom, who are they?"

Rachel's mom gave Rachel a sad smile and said, "You might want to sit down for this Rachel. There are a lot of things that you are going to learn about what you are."

"You know, huh?" Rachel asked bluntly and saw her mom give her a nod in response. "You wouldn't have sent me out just to get milk, but I didn't think too much about it. How did you find out?"

"A friend sent a picture of you using your powers out in the open."

Rachel sighed and shook her head. "I'm not even going to ask. So why are they here?" Rachel asked curiously.

"We're here to give you an offer." Charles said making Rachel turn her attention to him.

"What kind of offer?"

"I'm offering for you to join my school where you can learn how to control your powers and to use them to protect others from big threats." Charles answered truthfully.

Rachel blinked a couple times then glanced down at her hand. 'Being able to control these force fields would be nice.' She thought then remembered the flash drive she randomly got. She turned her attention back to Xavier. "I'll go, but I just need to make a couple phone calls before I leave."

Charles nodded, "That would be fine."

"We can help you pack if you want." Kitty offered with a smile.

"That would be nice." Rachel admitted.

"Great, you won't regret it." Kitty and Jean followed Rachel to her room leaving the two adults in the room.

"She's hiding something." Paula muttered sadly.

Charles nodded, "Yes, but we won't push it. She'll tell you if she feels the need to do it."

"I hope you're right Charles."

Abigail Lincoln looked over the report sent by her old team and muttered, "How did she even survive? No one in KND survived a landing like that without a scratch." She set the report down and sighed, "Guess I have to talk to her when she's alone, but Numbuh 5 has no idea how to contact her." She shook her head and put the report into the file containing her old team. "I hope the others are going to be fine." She heard her phone ring and grabbed it seeing 'Rachel' on the screen making her smile. She answered the phone saying, "Hey girl, I was just reading the reports about you. I can't wait until you join the TND officially."

"I can't talk long Abby, but I'm not joining the TND." Rachel told her.

"What?! Why would you keep your memories but not join the TND? They'll erase your mind to make sure that you can't remember anything."

"I know what I'm doing Abby, and the decommissioning chamber didn't erase my memories. I think someone put something inside me to protect my memories." Rachel admitted with a sigh.

"So someone wants you to keep your memories?" Abby asked with a raised eyebrow. "That doesn't make any sense."

"I know, but Maurice and I believe that time travel might be involved."

"Maurice is in on this?" Abby asked quietly in surprise.

"It's a long explanation."

"Let's hear it."

"She's joining the X-men."

"Good, we need to make sure that Maurice and his team don't find us."

"I doubt they would even find us, sir."

"I know, but it doesn't help to be careful just in case something goes wrong."

"It wouldn't matter. Our time here is almost up anyway."

"True, I wish I would be there to them get reunited again."

"Me too."

One explanation later

"Man, that sounds very complicated." Abby muttered lowering her hat over her eyes.

"It does, but I need to go with these people Abby." Rachel said sadly.

"How do these people even know about Numbuh 1 being in outer space for the GKND anyway?"

"That's why we assume time travel."

"Hm," Abby rubbed her chin and looked up in thought, "makes sense now, but there could be some spies in the GKND without us even knowing it."

"I thought about that too, but I got the flash drive from an adult who was walking with her husband." Rachel countered with a sigh.

"Why would they give you a flash drive? It sounds bit rubbish if you ask me."

"I know what you mean, but the situation makes it seem like they were the ones who did it. Anyway, I have to go finish packing, but I only have one more thing to say."

"What would that be?"

"Threaten my brother so he keeps his mouth shut about the TND." Rachel said.

"Wait what?! Numbuh 5 is going to call you back." Abby hung her phone up and marched out of her office. She adjusted her hat and yelled, "Numbuh 363!"

Harvey heard the yell and winced at the yell. "Oh man, I never heard her yell like that." He muttered to his teammates.

"What did you do to make her yell your number?" Numbuh 83 asked.

Harvey shrugged, "I don't know. Nothing much has gone on around here these past few months except for that attack at the mall earlier."

"I think Harvey is kept out of the loop now." Numbuh 84 whispered to Numbuh 83.

"I don't see any reason not to do that." Numbuh 83 replied back.

"Numbuh 363, you better get your behind in my office in thirty seconds, or I'll have Numbuh 86 torture you for not obeying orders!" Numbuh 5 yelled.

"Gotta go." Harvey said running off towards the office.

"He's doomed." 83 and 84 said with bored looks on their faces.

Rachel looked out the window of the Blackbird as her hometown was leaving her view. 'I hope I made the right choice.' She thought.

"I know it's hard to say goodbye to your home, but at least you can come back." Jean assured the blond haired girl.

"True, I do have to look up to." Rachel said before with a small smile.

"You're going to like the Institute. We got everything like: a tennis court, a pool, and a basketball court." Kitty said happily.

"That's nice." Rachel said not truly interested in that stuff. "Who else goes to the Institute?"

"Oh, well, there's Evan who can create spikes and shoot them from his body." Jean started to explain. "He enjoys sports more than most of the other things we do at the Institute. His aunt is one of our teachers as well."

"He must feel lucky."

"Not really." Kitty said with a shrug. "Anyway, there is Dawn, but she mostly stays in the forest when she isn't busy. It's creepy how she can read our auras and can talk to animals telepathically."

"Wow, I actually want to meet her." Rachel muttered in surprise.

"She is cool even though I still find her creepy." Kitty admitted with a shrug. "There is Kurt, but he's blue, covered in fur, and can teleport."

"How many people are there?" Rachel asked curiously.

"There are only thirteen of us including you and our teachers." Jean answered.

"Wow, I'm guessing that it's hard to recruit people or that mutants are rare to have around." Rachel looked out the window again and sighed, "Alright, who else goes to the Institute?"

At the park, Evan shot the basketball and watched as it went through the hoop with a swish. "Yes, Spyke shoots! He scores!" He said happily picking the ball up off the ground. His smile turned into a frown when he saw Pietro walking his way. "What do you want Pietro?"

"What can't an old basketball buddy come over to the court to play a little one on one with his old friend?" Pietro asked with his hands in his pockets and a smirk on his face.

"It would if we didn't have our specific situation." Evan said back.

Pietro chuckled at the hidden message. "You seriously believe that our secret will remain a secret for much longer? I'll have you know that it will be revealed, but I didn't come here to argue with you about this."

"I find that hard to believe." Evan narrowed his eyebrows.

Pietro took the ball from Evan and shot the ball into the hoop. He smirked when he heard the swish and asked, "How about a game just like old times?"

Evan grabbed the ball and walked off saying, "I rather not take that challenge."

Pietro shrugged, "Whatever you say man." He watched his old basketball buddy walk away and muttered, "You aren't the only one who has nothing to do Evan." He shrugged it off and ran off from the park completely unnoticed.

"We're here." Charles said as the girls finished telling Rachel about everyone at the Institute.

"Whoa." Rachel muttered in surprise as she saw the Institute for the first time. She watched as the hanger door became revealed from under the cliff and blinked in surprise at where the hanger was for the Blackbird. 'KND was advanced in technology with the 2x4 tech, but these guys are definitely more advance than the average spy network.' She thought.

"Hey look, it's Danny, Aelita, and Rogue. I guess they heard the hanger doors open up." Kitty said as the Blackbird landed in the hanger.

"Yes, this is a pleasant surprise. I'll go on ahead and introduce you to them Rachel." Charles said before leaving the Blackbird.

Rachel put her backpack on and went to grab her suitcase only to see Jean holding it with a smile on her face. She turned her head to see Kitty holding her smaller bags making her smile softly. "Thanks." She said.

"It's no problem." Jean said leading the small group out of the Blackbird. "Besides you're going to like it here."

"I sure hope you're right." Rachel muttered as they walked up to the three teens.

"Rachel, these people are Rogue,"

"Hey." Rogue said with a simple wave.

"Aelita,"

"How's it going?" Aelita asked with a smile.

"and Danny." Charles finished.

Danny walked up to Rachel with a hand reached out to her for her to shake. "Welcome to the institute." He said with a smile.

Rachel gave a firm hand shake and nodded, "It's good to be here."

Maybe not the best way to end a chapter, but it will have to do. If you are wondering, I will be using the GKND in the story when the characters are older. I'm not revealing anything else about the timeline so don't ask about it. Maurice will have an important role in the story later on when Rachel is 15, and yes, Nigel and Chad will have important roles as well. Abby will have a minor role, but the rest of the team has lost their memories leaving them out of the story by that point. I might include Jason/Numbuh 100(even if that is not his real name. Jason is the name of his voice actor.)

Anyway, not much has happened in this chapter, and this chapter was mainly a filler chapter. The Delightful Children or Sector Z will have an important part in the future as well, but that will remain a secret for certain good purposes. Let's see what I have in store for the future.

Now Rachel's powers are going to be fun for me to use. She actually will be interesting to write since she remembers her past. The bright side of her power is that barrier manipulation might be considered not that cool or powerful, but this is Rachel I'm using meaning her powers could be used differently. It will take time, but it should be worth it.

Now Evan…I got nothing. Kidding, he is starting to feel abandoned by his friends while all of this is happening to them. He knows that there are reasons for them acting like this, but he can't help it. He is the odd one out of the group since he is more into sports than the others, but it is brought up in a future episode where he is shown to miss training moments which affects the team. This is going to be known on how it all starts. Pietro will betray the Brotherhood and join the Avengers later on down the story along with his sister, Wanda, but that will not happen for some time.

Will there be any more characters from KND? Not telling

Will there be another character introduction? When the time skip happens for them to start school again, there will be certain characters that will just pop into the story along with the other mutants introduced at that time.

There will be one more arc before season 2 starts, and it will include Ben 10, and the characters will be from the original series. I hope you guys enjoyed the filler chapter, and if there were some things that should change out a bit, let me know. I would really appreciate it. R&R
