Bonding With Beach Head
"All right, let's have a little talk shall we?" Hawk said to the assembled Misfits. "It's about what happened this afternoon!"
"What happened to the wall wasn't our fault," Todd said.
"That's debatable!" Beach Head snapped.
"Pipe down Beach Head!" Hawk told him. "I'll deal with you in a minute! You kids have got to stop teasing him!"
"Why?" Wanda asked.
"Yeah he's such a jerk!" Pietro said.
"Well so are you!" Beach Head snapped.
"I am not!" Pietro snapped.
"Are too!" Beach Head snapped.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
"Are too!"
"Are not!"
"Are too!"
"KNOCK IT OFF!" Hawk snapped. "And stop making faces at each other! Okay I think it's time that we all have a little group session with Psyche-Out here. And by we I mean all of you and not me."
A collective groan came from the group. "Couldn't you just give us KP duty for a hundred years instead?" Lance moaned.
"Is this part of my punishment?" Beach Head snapped.
"Yes, now take it away Psyche-Out," Hawk left the room.
"All righty then," Psyche-Out said. "Let's start with a group hug!"
"Over my dead body!" Beach Head snapped.
"Don't worry!" Fred told him. "We won't!"
"Why do you show such animosity towards Beach Head?" Psyche-Out asked.
"We don't show ani-mostity," Fred scratched his head. "We just don't like him."
"But you all have so much in common," Psyche-Out said.
"Like what?" Lance asked.
"Well when he was a kid people thought he was trash too," Psyche-Out said. "They treated him very badly."
"HEY!" Beach Head snapped. "That's private!"
"Not anymore," Todd waved. "They really did that to him? Why?"
"Because his family was so poor they didn't have a Thanksgiving turkey, they had Thanksgiving Spam," Psyche-Out said.
"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TELL THEM THAT!" Beach Head snapped.
"What's wrong with Thanksgiving Spam?" Fred asked.
"They really treated him badly yo?" Todd asked.
"Don't tell him!" Beach Head snapped.
"Yeah they really treated him like garbage," Psyche-Out said. "That's why he worked so hard in school, so he could prove to everyone he wasn't worthless."
"Really?" Lance blinked. "I didn't know that."
"By becoming an overachiever he was able to put behind all his pain," Psyche-Out said. "He even became class Valedictorian."
"I'll bet that showed those stuck up twits!" Wanda cheered.
"And he also has a body odor problem like Toad," Psyche-Out said. "Of course unlike Toad all he really needs to do is take a shower more often."
"Hey we do have a lot in common!" Todd said.
"Psyche, if you want to help me…DON'T!" Beach Head shouted.
"We're sorry we made fun of you Beach Head," Pietro said. "From now on we'll be nicer to you!"
"Yeah! How about we spend time with you every day?" Todd grinned.
"NO!" Beach Head shouted.
"You can be our new best friend," Althea grinned.
"NO!" Beach Head shouted.
"Now isn't that better?" Psyche-Out said.
"No it is not!" Beach Head snapped.
"Group hug!" Fred grabbed Beach Head in a huge hug.
"I liked it better when they hated me!" Beach Head shouted.
