Chapter one:

It's a regular morning at Whammy's house.

Near being one of the first to awaken going about his daily routine. He showers then changes then heads down for breakfast.

Mello is not long behind him along with any who just happen to awaken at the time that day.

They don't eat at the same table but Mello does give a few glances in Near's direction though that's normal as the two are rivals.

After breakfast its classes in which Mello is vigorously taking notes while Near plays with his hair in a bored manner and Matt of course is playing his D.S. trying to keep it hidden from the teacher who is obviously teaching.

"Alright now we will be moving to a new topic." The teacher tells the class. "Spies."

Near blinks his eyes flickering up to the board like he does every now and then in class.

Mello is also looking at the board while Matt stays zoned out.

"Spies were once all around us. Especially in the time of wars. They would be in secret staying in places then would send messages updating the enemy on the activities of the group they are spying on. Spies began to dissipate as time went on though and now it's quite rare to even hear about a real spy in this day in age. The main thing that is the closest to an olden day spy is undercover cops and FBI agents but nothing like how it was in the past. However if it was back in the day then any one of you could have been a spy and we wouldn't even know until you were caught. It didn't matter if they had any training in the justice system or not back in the day. Many spies were not caught in time often escaping to their homes or other safe locations available before they could officially be caught. Spies are crafty and are like foxes in that sense. Now the first ever spy was found in…." The teacher continues to talk on about the lesson going more in depth about the history of spies.

Near turns away looking out the window by his seat that he usually sits in. He feels a gaze on him and he doesn't need to look to know it's Mello who probably already did some research on the subject so he's taking a break since he knows this stuff as he sometimes does if he believes he is good on the topic.

Mello watches him for a bit longer then turns away back to the teacher who is teaching.

Class is over not long after and they gather anything that they brought with them as they leave heading to their next class.

Classes are a routine at Whammy's house instead of sending them to a public school this way they can not only truly monitor their learning but actually try to give topics that will interest the orphans who are above the more regular kids their age or of any age. They are made to help the minds of the geniuses develop in a way that a normal school cannot provide.

Just before lunch an orphan is walking by a conference room when said orphan is suddenly pulled inside.

The other orphan shushes the orphan that the other orphan had pulled in.

The two go to the table and the other orphan puts a tablet on the table making sure that the screen is facing upwards.

The orphan watches as the other orphans tablet is turned on just waiting for it all to be ready.

"Updating. Activity appears regular. No suspicious movements from the adults and no known calls from L or any outside link that would be of value." The other orphan reports as the two watch the tablet.

"Orphans continue on with their day as we expect them to with nothing strange. None show to be new enemies at the moment." The orphan also reports in which the other orphan glances to the one speaking for a moment.

The door knob shakes and the two orphans end their report by grabbing the tablet locking it as they duck under the table using the chairs to keep them from being spotted.

An adult opens and looks around inside yet doesn't notice anything out of place. "Maybe someone just closed the door." She speaks to herself not noticing anyone after that she found the conference room door closed when it was open last she checked. She shrugs then just leaves.

The two orphans watch from where they are under the table. They then sneak out a few moments later moving around one of the chairs by going on either side; then they sneak out of the room after ensuring that no one will see them only to move their separate ways quickly.

Later….

Classes have ended and one of the orphans heads on his way to his room to put some books away.

Said orphan however pauses just as he turns a corner only to quickly hide around it listening quietly.

"We cannot allow this to continue like how it is." A voice from around the corner speaks loud enough for the secretly listening orphan to hear.

"That's why we are doing what we are doing. We just have to keep it quiet." Another voice joins in on the conversation.

"I know I know. We swore secrecy and everything. I hope we can do it soon because it needs to change. Now!" The first voice speaks up again this time with a rather impatient tone sounding in the spoken words.

"Patience. We have time to spare at the rate that things are coming along after all. It will happen though that much can be said for sure. They will get it done. Especially when we have the help needed for such a task."

"Okay let's stop for now before someone hears us."

The orphan takes that as his cue to leave and he hurries running off as quietly as he can. He travels around the other way to get to the bedrooms despite that direction having been the longer way around. He hurries into one of the rooms shutting the door as he turns to the person that he wishes to speak to at the moment.

The person in the room turns his head to look to the other upon hearing the orphan come inside with the door being closed behind them.

"Matt. I need a favor." The orphan tells the only other currently in the room. "It's a pretty easy one so you should have no trouble at all with it."
