I really like this story. I say 'story' as opposed to 'mission,' as the actual mission itself felt a little rushed. This feels most obvious to me when the action jumps ahead about seventeen chapters with only a quick aside and a recap from the agents to fill in the audience. I'm not saying that we should have been walked through the entirety of the fic, but it doesn't quite hold together as well as it could have. It might have been better just to forget about the one-line reference to the pyrokinetic battle and instead just cut directly to the shell-shocked agents trying to wrap their heads around they have witnessed over the past seventeen chapters.

Besides that minor point, though, the rest of this story was nigh-on golden for me. The characterization was great, and I appreciated how you were able to bring in background information in a fairly natural way. There were no obviously shoehorned-in details to distract from the character interactions.

I think you did a pretty good job with all the postmodern fourth-wall-breaking stuff, especially once you got into that bit at the end. Metafictional elements can be a tricky thing to handle, but I thought everything you did was executed in a well-constructed manner.

Finally, there were a lot of little details I thought were fantastic. Deuce referring to his author as "Mom," the literal plot bunny - just awesome.

Well done! I can't wait to see what story you finish up next.
