And now the conclusion of this mad little fic…
For After Some Consideration….
"Sorry we all got you kicked out Low Light," Althea said later as they rode in the jet home. "I mean I know Xavier wanted to recruit you because he has this thing for taking the best mutants for himself and all, but still…"
"Yeah maybe if we had a better plan you wouldn't have had to end up at Xavier's in the first place," Wanda said.
"It's not your fault, well actually it is but that's beside the point," Low Light waved. "I didn't really want to go there anyway. But in a way it did help. Avalanche are you okay?"
"Fine," Lance clutched the armrests of his seat. He looked very pale. "I'm fine…Just don't talk to me that much, it might disturb the jet!"
"Poor Lance," Quinn shook her head. "First the Coyote and now his fear of flying. This really isn't your week is it?"
"Don't talk…" Lance muttered. "It'll disturb the air pressure…"
"Uh…where was I?" Low Light went back onto the topic. "Oh yeah, as I was saying in a way this experience did help."
"How?" Pietro asked.
"Well it showed me that despite everything else you guys really do care about me," Low Light sighed. "And that I've finally gotten used to you little maniacs. I even like Shipwreck now. Is he still passed out?"
"Oh yeah," Roadblock looked back. "The booze finally caught up with him."
"As I was saying," Low Light sighed. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't feel so alone any more. It's kind of comforting to know there are people as screwed up as I am. No offense."
"None taken," Todd nodded.
"I still don't really want to use…my abilities," Low Light sighed. "But maybe…every now and then…maybe some kind of practice."
"Well I think we can arrange that," Pietro grinned.

"So you guys got thrown out of the mansion huh?" Lifeline asked the following day.
"Yeah things did get a little out of hand," Roadblock waved. "But it was worth it to get Low Light to understand."
"Well maybe now he'll feel more comfortable about being a mutant after all this?" Shipwreck asked.
"YOU PEOPLE ARE MANIACS! DO YOU HEAR ME! MANIACS!" Beach Head screamed. He was covered with some kind of gunk, chasing Low Light and the Misfits around.
"Hey guess what?" Todd laughed. "Low Light can change to a gas form! Very handy for pulling pranks!"
"This kind of training is fun!" Low Light laughed.
"THAT'S IT!" Beach Head shouted. "YOU'RE ONE OF THEM ALL RIGHT! NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!"
"Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all," Lifeline muttered.
