This is Definitely Not Goodbye
Somewhere in a hidden fortress, Magneto lay in a hospital bed resting. "My lord you must let me heal you some more!" Cortez begged.
"Later," Magneto sighed. "I'm too tired now." His arms were burned and one was broken. Nearly his entire body was covered in bandages. Despite Cortez's treatments he was still badly injured.
"It will still be a while before you are able to leave, even after Cortez's treatments," The mutant doctor told him. "I'm afraid you will have to stay in bed for a long while."
"Perhaps it is for the best. I need to think and plan my next move. There are things that puzzle me," Magneto frowned. "Who was that mutant that attacked me?"
"We do not know my lord," Cortez said. "Perhaps he was the one called Low Light in another form?"
"It's possible," Magneto thought. "Or maybe it's another player to the game. I will find that…creature that did this. That I promise."

Back at the Pit, the Misfits and the X-Men were saying their good-byes. Well some of them were.
"Now you'll e-mail me?" Kitty asked Lance.
"Of course I will," Lance said. "Every chance I get."
"Oh brother," Scott grumbled. "Just when I think she's finally come to her senses…"
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Lance glared.
"You know very well what it means!" Scott snapped.
"Here we go," Todd rolled his eyes.
"Not again," Kurt sighed. "Lockheed! Stop pulling on my tail!"
"You're just sore because we kicked Magneto's butt and you didn't!" Lance snapped.
"That I find hard to believe," Scott snapped. "I still think there's something you're not telling us!"
"Wouldn't be the first time," Bobby said. "Like about what happened with him and Willow!"
"Who's Willow?" Scott asked.
"You know about that?" Lance yelped.
"Kurt told me," He shrugged.
"I'd almost forgotten about that," Kitty said in an angry voice.
"Who is she?" Jean asked.
"Lance's other girlfriend," Ray told her.
"She wasn't exactly my girlfriend!" Lance protested. "Well sort of…"
"Yeah he just had a fling with her," Todd shrugged.
"Whose side are you on Toad?" Lance shouted.
"I told you that's how guys like him operate!" Scott shouted.
"That's not what happened!" Lance shouted.
"Yeah actually it was more like the other way around," Pietro spoke up. "She dumped him!"
"She did not dump me!" Lance shouted.
"So what did happen?" Scott asked.
"None of your damn business!" Lance snapped.
"Hey, when Kitty's involved, I'm making it my business!" Peter got in his face.
"Bring it on Tin Man!" Lance snarled. "You wanna fight? I'll give you something to…"
"STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Kitty shouted and stomped her foot. "Lance you can be such a jerk sometimes!"
"Me? They started it!" Lance said.
"Lance I do not want to talk about this anymore!" Kitty walked away from him in a huff. "Why do I even bother?"
"Kitty!" Lance whined.
"Come on Kitty," Peter sided up to her. "Let's go home!" He gave Lance an evil grin.
"This isn't over Russkie!" Lance raised his fist and shook it. "Not by a long shot!"
"Forget it Lance they're going," Pietro waved. Lance took off after them anyway.
"And not a moment too soon," Rogue grumbled.
"What's the matter sis?" Pietro quipped. "Aren't you gonna miss your big brother and sister?"
"Like I'd miss a hole in my head!" She snapped.
"Don't you already have one of those?" Wanda snickered.
"You really don't want to mess with me!" Rogue snapped.
"Wanna bet?" Wanda got in her face.
"Wanda will you knock it off?" Amara snapped.
"Why don't you tell her to knock it off?" Xi asked.
"Shut up snake breath!" Ray snapped. Then he saw the look on Xi's face. "Uh oh…"
"Yeah uh oh," Althea growled. "It's on now!"
Just then Roadblock and Shipwreck walked around the corner with Xavier, Logan and Hank. "You sure you don't have time for a drink?" Shipwreck asked the adult X-Men.
"Nah I think we'd better get the kids back home before…" Logan started to say. Then he saw the Misfits and the X-Men fighting each other. "The kids get into another fight."
"Oh look there goes another wall," Hank sighed.
Ironically the only two not fighting were Todd and Kurt. They were watching all the action from a distance. "Do you really want to get involved in this?" Todd asked. "I mean I'm not exactly up to it. I'm still a little sore from fighting Magneto yo."
"Yah, I'm not in the mood either," Kurt waved. "How did you guys beat Magneto anyway?"
"I didn't see what happened but Lance told me a huge rock fell on him before his peeps got him to safety," Todd shrugged.
"Oh," Kurt sighed as he watched them fight.
"Hey, five will get you ten my guys beat your guys!" Todd said.
"You're on!" Kurt nodded. "Come on X-Men! Kick their butts!"
"Bite them!" Todd hopped up and down. "Bite them!"
"Oh lord," Roadblock held his head in his hands.
"You sure you don't want that drink?" Shipwreck asked.
"Maybe just one for the road," Xavier sighed.

"Well so much for improving relations with the X-Men," Hawk sighed as he looked over the Misfits. They looked a bit dirty and scuffed from their battle but there were not serious injuries.
"They started it," Lance muttered.
"I don't care!" Hawk groaned. "On the plus side the powers up above have gotten my report on your latest adventure. They're very pleased with the results."
"Yeah but Magneto got away again," Wanda said.
"We'll get him next time," Roadblock told her. "But you kids have come a long way since you first got here. We're proud of you."
"That means you kids will be on more missions in the future. In addition we'll be looking for new recruits to join our unit," Hawk told them. "Although I had hoped Xavier would give us a hand with Cerebro it looks like that's not gonna happen. He's still not exactly thrilled with this idea."
"You mean he's not exactly thrilled with us," Althea pointed out.
"But how are we gonna get new people then?" Fred asked.
"It looks like we're gonna have to do it the old fashioned way I guess," Shipwreck shrugged. "Just keep our eyes and ears open and look around."
"So we'll be competing with the X-Geeks for new recruits," Pietro said.
"Not only that," Althea said. "But when and if we get revealed to the world we'll be competing with them for the spotlight as well. I mean so far they're the only team of mutants known in the world. "
"I never thought of that," Todd scratched his head.
"In other words nothing much has changed," Wanda said. "Except now that Lance has a new rival for Kitty's affections."
"Hey!" Lance snapped.
"Yes so in the future…" Hawk started to say when all of the sudden the intercom switch went on.
"Attention everyone!" Daria shouted. "Now we will be reading the first installment of our exciting new series: The Diary of Wavedancer! Chapter one: My first day with Toad…I never thought a kiss could be so sweet…"
"Oh god!" Todd groaned.
"DARIA YOU ARE A DEAD GIRL!" Althea shot out of her seat. "YOU HEAR ME! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!"
"I want a piece of 'em too!" Todd followed her.
"Also we will be reading Diary of a Quicksilver," Brittany's voice piped up. "In this chapter Quicksilver tells us how he once dressed up a pig in his sister's clothes and stole some of Blob's cookies!"
"WHAT?" Wanda growled at Pietro.
"YOU TOOK MY COOKIES?" Fred shouted. "WHEN WAS THIS?"
"YOU THREE MANIACS ARE IN SUCH TROUBLE!" Pietro sped off.
"They're not the only ones!" Wanda shouted. "Come back here Pietro!"
"NOBODY EATS MY COOKIES AND LIVES!" Fred bellowed.
Xi and Lance casually followed them while the adults groaned and started passing out the scotch. The saw all the other Misfits running around and fighting. "Well might as well join them," Xi shrugged and went to join the fight.
"It's good to be home," Lance smiled as he watched the chaos around him. "Hey! Wait for me!"
Well that may be the end of The Misfit Chronicles but not the end of the adventures with the Misfits! Thanks to everyone who reviewed and made this possible!
Keep a look out for more Misfits adventures in the New Year! And there will be new recruits. Who are they you ask? That's for me to know and you to find out! He he! Plus there will be a few other story lines from this alternate universe popping up now and then. (I haven't decided yet if the whole Apocalypse thing happens before Ronin Toad or write a different take on it. Depends what they do in the cartoon. That may or may not be a possible story line. Probably not unless they really screw up the story in the cartoon.)
