This chapter will have bits and pieces of the episode Power Surge, but everyone knows what goes on with Jean, Scott, and the others. I know that Rogue and Risty never met from the first episode which only makes it harder for Mystique to get what she wants. This episode will introduce the last two new mutants that I have brought into the story, and I will mention that the New mutants from the show are still the same as before. I never write about what goes on with them, because I don't see a need to at the moment. I own nothing in this story.

Skating through the park Evan skids his skateboard across the railing then jumps off the railing and lands with his skateboard onto the ground. He pushes the ground with his right foot to get more speed then jumps on a park bench skating on it before landing back on the concrete. He hears someone skate by him and looks at the orange haired teen wearing a green and blue helmet go right past him. Evan smirks and skates right up next to the guy. The teen looks at Evan and smirks at him before they take off through the park.

Evan and the teen sit on the front porch of the Institute sighing in exhaustion. "Man, that was fun!" Evan says happily.

"Wish we could have gone to the skate park instead though." The orange hair teen remarks while removing his safety gear.

"If we would have done that, your 'all-seeing' eye would have allowed you to do even more special tricks man, and people would get suspicious of our kind, and I rather not have a lecture from Professor Xavier."

The orange hair teen shakes his head and sighs in defeat. "I see your point, but I can't control this thing." The teen replies back removing his helmet in the process.

"Matt, you know what I mean…"

"I know Evan, but I wish it was easier for us man. Danny, Aelita, and Rachel became heroes to the public, but the rest of us…"

"I'm going to stop you there Matt." Evan interrupts his skating and mutant buddy. "We are all on different levels of power and control, man. Trust me," Evan makes spikes come out of his left arm, "I don't have that great of control, but my power seems pretty awesome."

"You shoot spikes out of your body. I don't see much of anything cool about that." Matt counters getting Evan to chuckle lightly. Matt grabs his gear off the front porch and says, "Well, I better go finish my homework. Don't want to be distracted for the award ceremony tomorrow."

Evan smacks his face and groans, "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." He grabs his gear and follows Matt into the Institute.

Maurice walks into the TND underground base and heads straight towards the Supreme Leader's office. He knocks on the door and doesn't hear anything on the other side. "Well, look who decided to finally walk into TND headquarters." Maurice turns around to see Numbuh 100 walking his way.

Maurice smiles at Jason and asks, "Has there been any updates with Sector Z?"

Jason opens the door to his office and waves for Maurice to follow him. Maurice follows Jason into the room and sits down on the chair sitting on the outside of the desk while Jason shuts the door and sits down on his seat behind the desk. "I'll be honest Maurice. We haven't gotten anything different with Sector Z, but I didn't want to talk to you about them."

"What's up then boss?" Maurice asks sitting back on the seat putting his hands behind his head.

"One of the other agents has caught you talking with some teens and adults in France." Jason admits which got Maurice to go from layback to serious immediately. "While I know that something big happened in France, what I don't know is what happened in France that you needed to be there."

Maurice crosses his arms over his chest and lowers his head. "I'll be honest Numbuh 100. I was asked by an adult to investigate a group of kids."

"Why didn't you refuse the job?" Jason asks narrowing his eyebrows.

"He knew about the TND." Jason's eyes widen in surprise which Maurice saw. "Yeah, he doesn't intend on revealing our organization if we're willing to help him out every now and then."

"Did you come out with a compromise? Something like this cannot become public to our organization." Jason admits not liking the situation Maurice was in.

Maurice looks up at Jason and nods his head. "Yeah, I told him that I would be willing to do it if he left the others out of it. He agreed, and he said that you guys will only be involved if it threatens the kids on our world."

Jason sighs in relief. "That's good to hear agent. I'm happy you were able to fix that problem, but what was this assignment you were on?"

"You won't believe me, but…"

"Sir, one of the members of sector Z is waking up!" Someone yells over the intercom.

Jason and Maurice look at each other then jump out of their seats and run out of the office. The two run down the hall pushing past multiple operatives confusing them at their weird behavior. Maurice enters the hospital chamber room first with Jason following him, and the two widen their eyes when they see the tall member of sector z struggling to get up glaring at the people around him as they tried to hold him down. "Well, Numbuh 0.2 just woke up, and he is definitely not happy." Maurice mutters.

"Can't argue with you there." Jason mutters in agreement. "Everyone stand down!"

The tall member of sector z feels everyone release him and gets up off the bed wiping some dirt off his right arm. He looks over at Jason and asks, "Do you plan to tell me what is going on here? I'm curious as to why I'm no longer delightfulized."

Jason clears his throat and puts his hands behind his back. "I'll be honest Numbuh 0.2. I don't know how you became normal again, nor do I know how you even woke up." Jason admits holding in a sigh.

"I might be able to answer that actually." Maurice says getting everyone to look at him. "Unfortunately, the information can only be told to you and our leader."

Jason nods his head and turns the other agents in the room. "You heard him. I need everyone out of the room to leave us alone!" Everyone leaves the room muttering complaints about not allowed to know how the agent woke up. Jason locks the door to the room and pushes the button on the wall making metal walls come down over the four walls. "There, now we know no one will be listening. Go ahead Maurice."

Maurice turns his attention to Numbuh 0.2 and asks, "What do you remember before now?"

David scratches his head and says, "The others and I were fighting Numbuh 1 on a slide at some Rainbow Monkeys' theme park, and we fell down into the toilet bowl of that ride. I remember falling down to what I thought was my death, and the next thing I know is that I see two adults putting the others inside some type of coffin or something. Next thing I know is that I'm here."

Maurice nods his head and crosses his arms over his chest. "That would make sense. A few months ago I received an encrypted message meant only for me on a normal flash drive. I decided to check it out since Numbuh 362 received one earlier that same day. It was a message of where we could find you guys down in the stupid theme park."

David crosses his arms over his chest and nods his head. "Well, that explains as to why I'm here."

Maurice chuckles, "Yeah, a couple days ago I went on a recon mission for a man who was suspicious about some kids randomly coming out of nowhere with no record of them even existing beforehand."

Jason sits down on a chair next to the bed and mutters, "You might want to sit down for this. I don't even know what he is about to say." David nods his head and sits back down on the bed.

Maurice sighs, "Turns out he had a reason to suspect something going on, and I met Numbuh 362 there with some friends." He pulls out a small circular device from his pocket and pushes the button down. A hollow screen came up of him with five other teens each all but one in civilian clothes. "Numbuh 362, Rachel McKenzie as she rather be called now, was with these guys searching for information about Aelita's mother. Aelita is the girl with pink hair."

David blinks a couple times at the hair. "Who dyes their hair pink? That just seems…"

"It's actually her natural hair color." Maurice interrupts surprising both agents. "I know, but it's true. Anyway, these four," Maurice continues while pointing at Danny, Aelita, Rachel, and Scott, "were in France when I bumped into them. I told them what was going on, and they told me why they were in France. I didn't have much of a plan until Danny, the black haired teen, revealed that they had mutant powers."

"Ok, Numbuh 9, what are you talking about?" Jason asks wondering where Maurice was heading with this story.

Maurice pushes the button again changing the picture to the six teens now in battle stances. The two teens widen their eyes when they see a white haired teen with glowing green energy around his hands, a pink haired teen floating in the air with wings, a blond hair ninja girl with a slightly visible cube in her hand, and the brown hair teen with a visor over his eyes. "They're humans born with a gene that manifests powers inside them." He answers swiftly.

David gets up off the bed and walks over to the picture with Jason following right behind him. "This reminds me of…"

"Father? Yeah, it turns out the man isn't the only one of his kind after all." Maurice mumbles angrily. "We feared him not knowing what was out there, but he gave us a good reason to fear him."

"Can't argue with that." Jason agrees looking over the four teens carefully. "What does this have to do with Numbuh 0.2 waking up?"

"The flash drive I received telling us about their location specifically told me one last thing. 'The agents will only wake up as their normal selves if their x-gene has activated, and that will only happen after their thirteenth birthday.'"

David's eyes widen in surprise and look right over at Maurice who had closed his eyes with a sigh. "Wait a minute. You're saying that I have this mutant power, but how does this person know that I have this x-gene thing?"

Jason sighs, "We tried to trace the source of the people who gave Maurice the flash drive, but we were unable to find any clues about the source. The only thing we came up with was that they were from the future, but we got nothing to prove that either."

David looks at Jason then back at Maurice. "If I'm awake, then it means that I unlocked this power inside me, but I don't feel any different." David admits.

Maurice opens his eyes and pushes the button making the picture disappear. "That probably makes sense. You just woke up from a coma. The x-gene activated, but your body has yet to respond to the energy released. The good news is that the rest of the TND don't know about this, but we don't know how much time we have until his power does activate." He tells them while pocketing the device.

Jason looks over at Maurice and asks, "Do those teens learn how to control their powers Maurice?"

Maurice nods, "Yes, luckily Rachel and Danny gave me the address to the place where hey learn how to control their powers."

"Then Numbuh 0.2 needs to go there."

"Hold on." David says getting their attention. "Do I get a say in this? What if I don't want these powers to activate?"

"I asked about that actually." Maurice admits with a small frown. "Danny says that power can't be stopped, and they don't know what kind of power anyone could get from the x-gene."

David smacks his face and sighs, "Well, that's just great, but do I get a choice in going to this place? I don't exactly want to leave my squad alone here unconscious."

Jason and Maurice look at each other then back at David. Maurice walks over to David and puts his hand on David's shoulder and says, "I know what you mean David, and I know this is a lot to take in even for me, but you need to be reasonable here. If we knew nothing about mutant powers, what would the world think about it?"

David looks away with a sigh and removes Maurice's hand from his shoulder. "I don't know, but you can't expect me to just pick myself up and go to this place right after I wake up."

"Of course not, but right now we know nothing about this, and I doubt we'll find anything about it on the internet." Jason says before walking over to the wall where the button was. "Right now Maurice is the only one here who knows anything about it, and he probably knows the right people to talk to about this as well."

"May I at least think about it for a little bit?" David asks them. "I still want to have the feeling that I'm no longer delightful."

Maurice smirks, "I think we can handle that, but this decision needs to be made soon. We don't know how much time we have until you use your mutant power for the first time."

David moves back to the bed and sits down on it saying, "Thanks you guys."

"I'll send in our resident nurse to make sure everything else is running smoothly for you." Jason tells him before pushing the button on the wall.

David nods his head and watches the metal walls go up. "Where am I though?" He asks them curiously.

"Welcome to the secret covert ops of the Kids Next Door, the Teens Next Door." Maurice answers getting David to widen his eyes in surprise.

Scott shuts his locker and sighs in defeat feeling like his relationship with Jean is falling part. He smashes both of his fists against his locker grunting in frustration. 'How am I screwing this up so much?' He thought sadly.

Dawn, Kitty, and Kurt watch Scott from outside the school and sigh at the situation Scott got himself into. "Guys, this is getting bad." Kitty mutters sadly.

"They need to work things out on their own." Dawn reminds Shadowcat.

"Will it work out at da party?" Kurt asks curiously.

"I'm not a future reader Kurt, but we can hope." Dawn admits before turning around and walking away.

"She's right." Kitty mutters before turning around and following Dawn.

Kurt stares at Scott as the man turns from his locker and walks away. "She may be right, but Danny and Rogue are going to da party." He mutters before teleporting out of sight. He lands next to Danny's truck and notices the empty parking lot. "Ok, zat was too close for comfort." He admits wiping some fake sweat off his forehead.

"Kurt, did you teleport over here to get a ride back to the institute?" Danny asks as he, Rogue, Aelita, and Rachel were walking over to the truck.

"Actually, I came here to talk to you." He admits with a serious look in his eyes. "It's about the party and Scott and Jean's relationship."

"Oh boy…" Danny mutters knowing where the conversation is going.

"We'll see what we can do to stop Scott from being around Duncan during the party." Rogue says before the conversation could actually start.

Kurt turns his head to Rogue and nods in appreciation. "I'm afraid it might be more dan dat, but zanks." Kurt says before turning his head back to Danny. "Danny…"

"We're all worrying about Scott, Kurt, but some things are better left unsaid." Danny says before Kurt could ask what had happened in France. "Trust me on this Kurt. You don't want to know what happened."

Kurt sighs then nods understanding that Danny wants the subject to drop. "Ok, I understand. I'll see you guys back at da institute den." He teleports away leaving the others alone at Danny's truck.

"Do you guys want me to come to the party as well?" Aelita asks them curiously.

Rogue gives Aelita an assuring smile. "We'll have it covered Aelita. Yah can continue your search for Jeremy in the digital sea." Rogue answers.

"Glad I'm not going to the party." Rachel says before jumping into the back of Danny's truck. "Jean and Scott really need to stop getting us involved with their complicated relationship."

"Is Evan going to ride with us, or is he going to hang out with his new skating buddy, Matt?" Aelita asks curiously changing the subject about the complicated relationship.

"Why are you suddenly asking about him?" Danny asks curiously as he puts his bag in the back seat of the truck along with Rogue's bag.

"He's barely hung out with any of us." Aelita points out as she leans up against the truck. "I feel like we're avoiding him."

Rogue shrugs, "So what? He has barely hung out with us to begin with. None of us had anything in common with him."

Aelita sighs as Rachel leans over the side of the truck. "True, but I feel guilty that…" Aelita trails off when Evan comes running up to them.

"Oh good, I made it just in time." Evan says as he meets up with the group. "Hey guys, still got room for one more?"

Danny chuckles, "We sure do man."

Evan grins, "Cool, what are you guys talking about?"

"Kurt wants Danny and Rogue to keep an eye on Scott at Duncan's party." Rachel says as Evan jumps into the back of the truck with Rachel.

Evan leans back against the side of the truck and shakes his head. "Man, you would think Scott and Jean would connect easily, but Duncan needs to make things complicated between them."

"Ah feel like he's trying to break their friendship on purpose." Rogue mutters as Aelita gets into the back seat of the truck.

"No argument there." Danny says as he and Rogue get in the front seats. "I'm just glad that things haven't gotten even worse."

"Agreed." The others mutter.

"What happened to Jean back at the ceremony?" Rachel asks curiously.

"Yeah, it looked like the stress finally got to her." Evan looks out at the school to see Jean talking with Duncan. "She spoke fine after dropping that trophy though."

"That's one way to look at it." Aelita brings up a holo-screen as Danny starts the truck up. She brings up a picture of Jean holding her head with a look of pain on her face. "I think her powers went out of her control."

"Jean losing control of her powers?" Rogue asks sarcastically. "Ah highly doubt that could be the case."

"Her powers could be evolving." Rachel points out as Danny starts driving the truck out of the parking lot.

"She wouldn't be the first one to lose control of her powers while they're evolving." Evan says giving Aelita a knowing look.

"Don't remind me." Aelita mutters not liking the incidents she made with their electronics.

"You still get those random attacks at times?" Danny jokes getting Aelita to groan in frustration. "Either way, if Jean's powers are evolving then it might be a good idea that she doesn't go to the party."

"Well, yah need to tell her that, because the rest of us are not as close to her as you are." Rogue tells her boyfriend.

"Oh man…"

Later that evening

Jean walks out of her room and closes the door behind her with a smile on her face. "Well, would you look at that? Our soccer star is smiling." Jean turns around to see Danny leaning against the wall with a stupid grin on his face.

"Real funny, but you and Rogue are still coming to the party right?" Jean asks giving him a playful push on his left shoulder as she walks by him.

Danny gets up off the wall and walks after her saying, "Yeah, we'll still be going, but I want to talk to you about what happened back at the award ceremony."

Jean stops walking and turns her head slightly looking back at him out of her right eye. "Nothing happened Danny."

"That's not what we believe." Danny disagrees getting her to turn around completely. "Jean, we believe your powers might be evolving."

Jean gives Danny a look of disbelief and asks, "Why would you guys believe my powers are evolving? Danny, nothing happened that you guys need to worry about. I promise."

Danny gives Jean a deadpanned look and asks, "So you didn't drop your trophy to grab your head because your mind wasn't being filled with our thoughts?"

Jean rubs her right arm uncomfortable at Danny's accurate question. "Ok, I might have lost control of my powers for a few seconds, but everything is fine now. There is nothing for you guys to worry about. You can count on that."

Danny nods his head. "Ok, but if you start losing control again, we'll be needing you to stay at the Institute."

"Thank you Danny. I'll see you, Scott, and Rogue at the party." Jean walks away leaving Danny alone in the hall.

Danny turns around to see Evan come out of his room and sighs as Evan walks his way. "How did the conversation go?" Evan asks.

"She says that she lost control for a small time, but she believes she's in full control." Danny answers as Evan stops next to Danny while watching Jean leave his view.

"Didn't Aelita say something along those lines?"

Danny turns back around and nods his head. "Yep, I doubt this will lead to anything good."

"Wish I was invited to the party." Evan puts his hands in his pockets and asks, "Do you want any of us to do anything?"

"No, Rogue and I will take care of things if something happens at the party."

"Whatever you say man." Evan puts his hands behind his head and leans back against the back window closing his eyes. 'Sure glad that we got someone like Danny around though. I would hate to think how hard our lives could be without Danny.'

Maurice walks into the infirmary to find the resident nurse putting some stuff away and David sitting on the bed flexing his fingers. The nurse turns her head slightly to Maurice who nods his head at her. The nurse nods back and puts the rest of the things away before leaving the room. Maurice shuts the door behind him and asks, "How you feeling?"

"Is it normal to have a tingling feeling in your hands?" David asks instead of answering the question.

Maurice raises an eyebrow at the question. "To be honest I don't know how mutant powers develop. The only thing I know is that the powers develop different for everyone that has them."

"Hm…" David gets up off the bed and turns toward Maurice.

"When did you start getting this feeling in your hands?" Maurice asks curiously.

"Maybe an hour after you guys left. I can't say for sure." David admits flexing his hands a couple times. "It feels weird though."

Maurice rubs his chin and asks, "What does your body feel like doing?"

David raises an eyebrow at the question then shrugs, "I don't know to be honest. I'm curious as to why you would ask that."

Maurice smirks and waves for David to follow him. "I got a plan." Maurice leads David through the base and enters a training room with David looking around a bit confused with the plan. "I'm going to need everyone to leave the two of us alone for a bit. This should only be a few minutes."

"You don't have that type of authorization though Numbuh 9." One of the agents says from the control room.

"This is a special case from Numbuh 100. You can trust me on that." Maurice assures the agent.

David and Maurice stand in the room as everyone leaves the area. David hears the door close and lock then asks, "Where are we Numbuh 9?"

"You can just call me Maurice Numbuh 0.2."

"Then call me David, but I am serious as to why we're here though." David looks around the room taking in everything in the training room.

"It's simple really. This is the training room, and we're going to get you to use your mutant power." Maurice summarizes as he walks over to the wall grabbing five four-pointed shurikens off the wall. "The best way to do that is when you're in danger."

"Wait what?!" David shrieks before ducking down avoiding the shuriken that flew over his head. He looks up at Maurice in fear as Maurice keeps his smirk on his face. "Are you insane man?!"

"No, but this is the quickest way we can find out about your mutant power." Maurice answers before throwing another shuriken at David.

David jumps back and growls angrily. "This won't work Maurice. Something like this might take time."

"Time that we don't even have." Maurice counters catching David off-guard. He throws the last two shurikens and smirks as they headed straight towards David.

David jumps and flips over the two shurikens then throws a shuriken back at Maurice. Maurice's eyes widen as a red shuriken flies by his head and embeds into the wall behind him. "Look man, I don't know…why are you staring at the wall for?"

Maurice looks back at David and asks, "Do you realize what you just did?"

"I threw a…shuriken…" David trails off realizing why Maurice was looking at the wall. The two walk over to the red shuriken embedded in the wall and glance at each other. "Ok, it worked, but you better try something like that again."

"No promises." Maurice reaches to touch the weapon but stops when the shuriken disappears from the wall immediately. He blinks a couple times then turns to David to see the shuriken in David's hand. "What just happened?"

"I honestly have no idea." David mutters looking at the shuriken in his hand. "I think I might have to take that offer for training my powers."

"You're getting no argument from me." Maurice mutters.

"Then Jeremy took me out for dinner last night. Stacy, it was so romantic." Stacy hears her best friend Candice over the phone.

"That sounds great Candace. I'm glad you had fun on your date." Stacy replies back keeping her eyes on the four inch ball of water hovering over her right hand.

"At least sound interested Stacy."

Stacy rolls her eyes at that. "Candace, every time you call me it is about you and Jeremy or your brothers. I am glad you had a good time on your date, but I have some other things that need my attention right now."

Candace sighs, "I'm sorry Stacy, but you refuse to tell me why you had to leave Danville. I feel abandoned you know."

Stacy keeps the ball of water hovering above her hand and sighs in agreement. 'I wish I could tell you Candace, but mom ordered Ginger and me not to say anything about mutants. I wonder if Ginger would be coming here too.' She shakes the thought from her mind and says, "I'm sorry Candace, but you know my mom."

"Yeah, I understand."

"Look, I need to go. I have to finish my homework then meet up with someone about a 'project.'"

"Ok, I'll to you later I guess." Candace hangs her phone up and sighs before looking over at her brothers. "May I help you guys?"

"You really miss Stacy, huh?" Phineas asks. "I mean…I would miss Ferb if he had to leave suddenly as well."

"Why would you guys care?" Candace retorts getting a little frustrated with Phineas bringing up the situation with her best friend.

Phineas and Ferb look at each other then back at Candace. "Do you want to go see her sometime then?"

Candace's anger comes to a halt at the question. "Would you guys really do that?" She asks knowing what her brothers were already thinking.

Phineas shrugs, "She's your best friend Candace. We have done so much with you and her during the summer that it would seem wrong not to help you see her."

Candace looks out her window then back at her brothers. "Ok fine, but we'll go after school tomorrow. We don't want mom and dad to be upset with us skipping out on school."

Ferb salutes while Phineas smiles. "Sounds like a plan then."

Stacy ends the call then absorbs the water into her hand. She looks down at her phone then at the mirror in her room. Her eye lids flat line over the middle of her eyeballs when she immediately realizes what will happen. "I better call Ginger." She dials her house number and sighs, "Candace, you are seriously one of the biggest drama queens I have ever known, but I couldn't have a better best friend."

"I got it mom." Ginger yells before grabbing the phone off the coffee table. She hits the answer button and says, "Hello?"

"Hey Ginger, listen I just talked to Candace." Stacy explains.

Ginger sighs getting the hidden message in that statement. "Just great…" She rubs her eyes in annoyance. "Why can't we just tell them Stacy?"

"Mom, told us not to because of what the world could do to our kind."

"I'm not even a mutant though!"

"You could be Ginger, and I'm not using that loosely either." The sisters sigh at the situation they got put in. "You still have a couple years before your mutant x-gene could have a chance to activate. That means you're fine at the moment, but right now Candace will probably fly over here tomorrow after school, and we cannot have her come over here."

"I'll see what I can do, but since it is Phineas and Ferb…"

"Yeah, I get it. I'll probably be seeing you tomorrow if you sneak a ride on there though."

"That might be the only good thing from this thing though."

"I know. I'll see you later Ginger and tell mom I say 'hi.'"

"Will do."

Stacy shuts her phone and tosses it onto her bed. She leaves her room and walks down the hallway heading to the kitchen. Once she got to the front lobby she sees Scott walking through the front door dripping wet. "Oh boy…" Stacy mutters.

"Scott, it was an accident." Jean says as she comes into the institute behind him.

Danny and Rogue walk into the institute looking at Scott with amused looks in their eyes. "You used your powers to push me into the pool." Scott says back keeping his frustration in.

"I got pictures." Danny adds getting Rogue to elbow him in response.

"You're not helping Danny." Jean tells him.

Danny shrugs in response. "I find it funny that our most calm and athletic girl got startled enough to use her powers to push someone off the ledge into the pool." He retorts narrowing his eyebrows a bit which got Jean to flinch a bit.

"What do you mean by that?" Scott asks him.

Danny looks at Scott then at Jean. "Why don't you ask Jean?"

"I'm not losing control of my powers Danny. I've been in control for more than a year now." Jean tells her friend feeling annoyed that he believed that she was losing control of her powers.

"The recent events say otherwise." Danny remarks.

"Everything is fine." Jean growls out at Danny angrily.

Danny keeps his gaze on Jean then walks by her not saying anything to her. Scott and Rogue watch Danny walk up the stairs and go straight to his room. Danny stops right out of his friends' view and says, "Stacy, if you wanted to stay unnoticed, you wouldn't leave water stains on the floor."

Stacy pops her head out of the carpet then pulls herself up out of the carpet absorbing the water stain she made on the carpet. "Ok, I need to work on my stealth."

Danny turns to her and raises an eyebrow. "When did you learn how to do that?"

Stacy rubs the back of her neck and says, "I actually panicked and turned into puddle of water."

Danny blinks a couple times then gives her a smile. "Guess we got something new to train on now."

"Cool." Stacy smiles at the idea. "I would love to do something like that later on."

Stacy, tell Daniel that I need to speak with him in my office. Charles says inside Stacy's mind who sighs at the thought.

"The Professor wants to speak with you." Stacy tells her senior.

Danny groans at that then sighs, "Right, I better get going then."

Stacy watches Danny walk away and mutters, "Everything interesting going on involves them, but I got other things to worry about."

"You want me to keep an eye on Jean tomorrow?" Danny asks Professor Xavier as he leans back on the chair in front of Xavier's desk.

Charles intertwines his fingers, puts his elbows down on the desk, and lightly sets his chin on his hands. "I know I'm asking for a bit much here Danny, but I'm worried about her losing control." Charles admits worrying about Jean's actions.

Danny rubs the back of his neck and shrugs, "I'll do it, but what will we do if Jean starts losing during school beyond our capabilities?"

"Bring her here immediately." Charles tells his student. "I will need to enter her mind to calm her down."

"Do you believe it will work?"

Charles sighs, "No, but it's the only thing we got." He puts his hands down on the handle bars on his wheel chair and moves out from behind his desk. "Her powers are evolving beyond her control, and she is afraid to admit that she's losing control."

"I already know that. I confronted her about it yesterday, but she denies that she is losing control."

"Then we don't have as much time as I thought." Charles mutters as he moves his wheelchair past Danny. "If this started yesterday, then her powers will become more unstable in time."

"I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she's brought back here immediately the moment she shows any signs about her losing control."

"That's all I can hope." Charles admits then turns his wheel chair around to face Danny's backside. "On another note I know you and the others are staying quiet on what happened in France, but I can tell something big happened. Daniel, what happened while you were there?"

Danny closes his eyes and starts twiddling his thumbs. He gets up from the seat and stuffs his hands into his pockets. "I want to tell Professor, but the situation is something I can't involve you or the others." He admits before heading to the door.

Charles watches Danny leave the office and sighs at the drama Danny and the others are pulling themselves through. "Let's hope things don't make a turn for the worst."

The Next Day

Maurice and David were pulled up to the gate outside the Institute. The gate opens up, and the driver drives the two teens up to the Institute. "Thanks for coming with me." David says to Maurice.

Maurice waves it off. "Don't think anything about it. You're a special KND agent like me, and we have to look out for each other. I may not know Rachel as much as some of the other agents, but she's still one of us."

"What will happen with my team?" David asks curiously.

"Right now? They'll stay in their comas or whatever adults call it before they turn thirteen. The message said that if they are out before that time they have a high chance of never seeing the light of day again. That's something we can't risk whether it is true or not." Maurice admits lowering his head with a small sigh as the vehicle comes to a stop.

"We're here gentlemen." The driver tells them.

David exits the car first and takes a couple steps before looking up at the building with a small gulp. 'I hope things will work out for me here.' He thinks not knowing what could end up happening.

Maurice gets out of the car and looks up at the Institute whistling softly. "Well, at least you get some good accommodations." Maurice mutters before walking ahead of David.

David follows right behind Maurice and asks, "What do you want me to do?"

"I'll try to explain everything leaving out specific things they don't need to know about the KND, but it might not be that easy so just follow my lead." Maurice tells David jabbing a thumb on his chest.

David shrugs his shoulders, "Whatever you say, I guess."

The two teens stop short of the door when it opens to reveal Professor Xavier and Max Tennyson smiling at the two. "Hello there, I'm Charles Xavier, and you boys must be the two Logan told us about." Charles says as he moves towards them in his wheelchair.

"Logan?" Maurice asks raising an eyebrow.

"Fury told Logan who told us." Max simplifies for the teen.

Maurice nods his head and smiles, "Oh, that explains it."

Charles smiles at Maurice then turns to David. "So why are you two here? Fury didn't tell Logan why you boys requested to come here." Charles asks them.

"This might be better explained inside instead of staying out here in the open." Maurice points out while gesturing to everything around them.

"You can relax here, son. Everyone is at school at the moment, so this conversation is already private." Max says easing the boy's nerves.

Maurice nods his head and turns around to David. "Show them then." Maurice gestures to the two adults for David to explain.

David nods his head then makes a four pointed shuriken in his right hand surprising the two adults. "Well, this is definitely something that should be talked about inside." Charles muses gesturing for the teens to follow him.

The teens nod their heads and follow Charles into the building with Max closing the door behind him. The four enter the living with David and Maurice looking around the room curiously. "Now, how did you two know about this place? Fury never told you guys about mutant, but here you are." Max summarizes giving a hard gaze on them.

Maurice puts his hands up in front of him and says, "Whoa man, Rachel and I happen to be friends from our younger days. She and I are not really tight or anything, but we knew each other enough to be friends."

"That explains on how you know of this place." Charles points out. "I'm guessing you found out about it because of your friend's development."

Maurice shakes his head. "Nope, I found out when I met her and the others at France a few days ago. The situation called for it." He admits running his hand through his hair. "Anyway, David unlocked his mutant power yesterday and needs help learning how to use it."

"I would like to come here if you are willing to have that is." David says as he absorbs the energy of the kunai back into his hand.

The two adults smile at David. "We'll be glad to have you, David. We are always willing to take someone who is willing to learn how to control their mutant power." Charles tells him with a smile.

David smiles right back. "Thank you Professor. I will try my best."

"That's all we can hope." Max says.

"Professor!" Kitty yells catching everyone's attention.

Charles and Max come out into the front lobby to find Scott running in carrying an unconscious Jean. "Get her to the infirmary immediately." Charles says before anything could be explained.

Scott nods his head and runs off to the infirmary with Charles and Danny right behind him. Logan sees the group go by then turns to the others. "Stay down here." Logan says before running after them.

Max turns to the others and says, "Get suited up. We need to be prepared for the worst."

Maurice and David run out of the living room to see everyone run off then turn to Max. "What's going on?" Maurice asks the older man.

Max turns to the two and sighs, "Jean has been losing control of her powers, but she believed she had control over them. Her being brought here unconscious only means that her mind is now in a mess beyond her control."

"What are her powers?" David asks narrowing his eyebrows a bit.

"Telekinesis and telepathy, they're pretty powerful put together, and Jean is no exception that's for sure." Max admits with a sigh.

"This might get pretty rough." Maurice comments rubbing his chin thought. "How powerful is her telekinesis?"

"We don't know exactly, but if she's losing control then we can only hope that Professor Xavier is able to calm her down before it explodes in our faces."

David listens to the explanation and asks, "Does everyone have this hard?"

"No, some of the students have easier powers to control while others have barely any control at all. I guess it all matters on the person and their powers." Max explains which gets David to nod.

Suddenly a loud explosion went off shaking the house catching everyone off guard. "That can't be good." Maurice mutters.

"You two stay here. We don't need you two to get into trouble that doesn't involve you guys." Max tells them before running off towards the elevator.

"Should we do what he says?" David asks Maurice.

Maurice puts his hands behind his head and nods, "Yeah, this is out of our hands. We'll probably get hurt trying to help them instead of actually helping them."

"True, I still feel like I need to help."

"Same, but there's nothing we can do. I'm certain Danny and the others will handle it." Maurice walks off to the living room with David following him.

Stacy stands out on the front lawn staring at the small destroyed part of the institute as small pieces of rocks flew around the area. "Wish there was a way for me to help." She mutters. She starts hearing a helicopter sound behind her and widens her eyes realizing who was here.

"Stacy!" Candace yells out at her best friend.

Stacy turns around and stares up at the helicopter as Candace waves down to her friend. "Oh great, Ginger wasn't able to stop them." Stacy mutters as Ferb lands the helicopter.

Candace pushes the door open and jumps out of the helicopter. She runs out to her best friend yelling, "Stacy!"

Stacy puts her left arm out and stops Candace from hugging her while keeping an dull look in her eyes. "Candace, I thought I told you not to come here."

Candace realizes that Stacy wasn't moving her hand and puts her hands on her hips. "I wanted to see my best friend. Is it so wrong for me to come here to make sure my best friend is doing alright?"

Stacy puts her arm down and sighs at the question. "Around here? Yes it is." Stacy answers catching everyone except her sister off guard by the answer.

"Why would it be bad for anyone to come see their best friend here?" Baljeet asks curiously.

"This place is meant for specific talented people Baljeet, and I don't mean the smart kind either. Ginger already knows what I'm talking about, but we're under jurisdiction not to tell anyone including our best friends." Stacy answers giving Candace a hard glare who winces at the look.

"What's so important about the secret?" Phineas asks curiously as the group caught up with Candace. "And what kind of talent are we talking here?"

Stacy looks over at her sister then at Phineas. "The secret is something that I can't even explain Phineas, and the talent is very specific. Unfortunately, you and your brother do not fall into that category so I can't tell you." She explains crossing her arms over her chest.

"Can we go into the building though?" Buford asks while pointing at the building. "I need to go to the bathroom and forget to go before we left Danville."

Stacy gives him a dull look and simply says, "No."

"Ah man…"

Candace ignores Buford's complaint and walks up to her best friend who keeps a fierce look in her eyes. Candace stops when she sees the fierce look and asks, "Is the secret worth keeping from your best friend?"

"Yes." Ginger answers surprising everyone except Stacy that she responded to the question. "Mom commanded us that we never tell anyone about it Candace. There are reasons why you and the others cannot be told about this. I'm sorry, but it's how it should be."

Isabella stares at Ginger then turns to Phineas and Ferb who shrug in response. She looks back at Ginger who looks over at Isabella before walking over to her sister's side. 'What's so important about the secret?' The five preteens thought in surprise.

Stacy lowers her head and sighs in defeat. She looks up at Candace and puts her hand on Candace's shoulder. "Look Candace, I want to tell you, but this secret could do so much damage to our friendship more than it already has, and I'm not exaggerating either. Please, just go home and don't worry about the secret. Everything will be fine." Stacy tries easing her friend's feelings.

Candace stares at Stacy then removes Stacy's hand off her shoulder. "Fine, I'll leave it alone for now, but I'm expecting you to tell me one of these days."

Stacy smiles, "You wouldn't be you if you didn't try to get me to tell you."

Candace smiles back at her friend, and the two hug each other. "I'll call you later tonight."

"I'm expecting you too."

The two pull apart, and Candace walks away saying, "Com on you guys. We're going home."

"But I still need to go to the bathroom." Buford complains as the five preteens and Candace walk back to the helicopter.

"Not my problem!"

Stacy gets on her knees and hugs her sister who returns the hug. "You make sure mom stays well, ok? I don't need her to worry about me."

Ginger nods her head and whispers, "How's the training going?"

"Way better than it was a couple months ago. I can stay solid without leaking water while sleeping now."

Ginger giggles, "That's good to know. I'll be sure to tell mom that."

Stacy releases her sister then rubs Ginger's head. "I'll see you later Ginger."

"See yah Stacy." Ginger runs off towards the helicopter.

Stacy watches the helicopter leave and smiles as her best friend and the others leave waving 'goodbye.' She stays in her spot as the helicopter leaves he view and asks, "Should I tell her?"

"That's your decision Stacy."

Stacy turns around to see Ororo walking up to her with a smile on her face. "Oh hey Miss Munroe, did you wait for them to leave to confront me?" Stacy asks curiously.

Ororo giggles, "Yes, I wanted to see if you would be able handle your friends from home, and I'm glad about the outcome."

Stacy smiles, "That's good to hear, but are you curious about the helicopter being driven by a kid?"

"Aelita did some research on Phineas and Ferb a month ago since you brought them up in a conversation with her before." Storm explains which got Stacy to wince at her slip up. "The good news is that we found nothing wrong with you telling your best friend Candace, but you are right about her not being ready at the moment."

Stacy nods her head and walks by Storm asking, "When would be a good time?"

"That we do not know." Storm admits getting Stacy to sigh in defeat.

"I guess that's all I can hope for then."

Danny stands right in front of the window staring at Jean who was sitting on the bench talking with Scott. He turns around to Aelita who was looking over the information on her boyfriend Jeremy. "Should you be doing that out in the open?" He asks her.

"No, but after what happened with Jean I decided to look a bit deeper into finding Jeremy's scattered emotions. While it would be better in my room I am actually going through some pieces of Jean's incident before she lost full control." Aelita explains as she continues typing on the main holo-screen.

"Do you think this will help Jeremy's mind to become reassembled?" Danny asks turning his head slightly to see Jean get up off the bench and walk away leaving a smiling Scott.

"Yes, because I found one of the emotions, and it is hidden in the Cortex." Aelita answers getting Danny to turn around and give her a hard stare. "It seems that the emotions might all be there just spread apart."

"When should we go?"

"In a couple days we need to let this incident cool off a bit before heading out, but it also needs to be done quickly and efficiently as well."

"What are you guys talking about?" Maurice asks as he walks into the room.

"Nothing you need to worry about." Danny answers immediately. He turns to Maurice and gives the teen a smile. "What brings you here anyway? I thought you were leaving."

"I was, but I needed to talk with you before heading out. It's about what you asked me back in France."

Danny chuckles, "Oh, you don't need to answer that question. It was more…"

"My answer is 'yes.'" Maurice interrupts getting Danny to stop and look at him in surprise. "I thought about it, and if I intend to save the planet from the incoming doom of the Galactic Kids Next Door; then I need to be trained and ready for anything they will throw at us. Becoming a hero is an added bonus for me to continue protecting kids and adults from people who want to destroy our rights."

"Glad you see it that way." Aelita says giving the teen a smile. "How are you going to train though? We can't train you here, and Tony Stark is definitely out of the question. Fury can train you, but it might take you off of what you really need."

"I'll figure it out on my own." Maurice says before she could come up with more ideas. "You did mention that your friends are training on the Helicarrier. I might as well start somewhere at least."

"Sounds like a plan then." Danny says before shaking hands with Maurice. "We'll be seeing you around then."

"Yeah, you will." Maurice says before walking off waving 'goodbye' to the two.

"Well, that's one crisis averted." Logan says as he looks out the window in Charles office.

"It was a bit close for comfort if you ask me." Max says as he takes a sip of coffee while walking up next to Logan.

"Too close, but Rogue and Scott did it." Logan admits with a small sigh. "What do you think about the new mutant?"

"He can create things with some type of energy." Max explains as he stops at the window next to Logan. "Right now we don't know everything, but he can create kunai with this energy at least."

"Hm…it sounds like he might be able to create weapons, but we still can't be for sure. I'll go ahead and start training him myself. I might have Phantom help out as well."

Max nods his head. "I'll be sure to tell Charles that, but in the meantime let's go ahead and relax. The students are probably still a bit riled up with Jean losing control on her powers."

Logan grunts and walks off saying, "They need to grow up Tennyson. Phantom and Pinky are probably already making plans for their next excursion to the city to fight crime."

Max smiles, "At least some of them can get back up immediately and continue on as nothing has happened."

"You got that right, bub." Logan leaves the office and smirks as he walks down the hall. 'I think it's about time to start pushing the kids to another level.'

Uh oh, Logan is going to be training David/Numbuh 0.2 with Danny's help. That will be interesting, but I'm probably not going to include that training. Anyway I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter. It only took a bit of time because of finals coming up, and I needed to focus on that instead of this.

Anyway, there are some small side stories I will be creating before working on the next chapter, and they'll be going in this order:

1. Maurice's recruitment into S.H.I.E.L.D (Marvel/KND)

2. Stacy joining the X-men (Phineas and Ferb/X-men Evolution)

3. Getting our hero names (Lyoko Warriors) (Code Lyoko/Danny Phantom)

4. Assembling a special team (Marvel/Cartoon X-overs)

The last one will focus on Fury recruiting specific people to help fight against the invasion. You will be expecting quite a bit there for the crossover area. If you have an idea on who should be recruited please give me an idea on that, because I will love and appreciate it.

Stacy has a big road coming up ahead of her, and it might not be good.

Matt is not an OC. He comes from the PBS kids show Cyberchase. The cyberspace might get involved once or twice throughout the story, but it will mainly not be involved. Matt is brought for good reasons that I am not going to be revealing right now. No spoilers for the people!

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed the story, and the next story might come up in a couple days. So keep a lookout for it, and if you want to, go ahead and leave a review. I would appreciate it. R&R
