"Hey!" Duncan snapped as the cops carried him into the station. The cops were cleaning it up after Craig's assault. "Put me down!!! Do you know who I am?!?!" The cops ignored his threats and threw him into a cell with another man. A red-faced Duncan grabbed the bars and started jumping around and screaming like an ape, pounding his chest. Matthews's cellmate was lying on the bed, in a disheveled suit, and he looked extremely plastered.
"With aaaaarms wide opeeeennnn BURP!!!" The cellmate slurred out, trying to sing. Duncan couldn't believe who it was.
"Senator Kelly?!?!" Duncan's eyes widened. "How'd you get in here?" Kelly mumbled something then burst out laughing. A cop standing nearby laughed.
"The good senator got a little too drunk for his own good." The cop laughed. "He ran about town, screaming about pink elephant mutants, then he..." The cop tried to explain delicately what Kelly did to get in jail. "He tried to jump off City Hall. He kept screaming that his wife was trying to kill him. Funny thing is, he's single."
"Hey!" Kelly slurred. "Who does a guy have to kill to get a drink around here? HORSE!!!" He then started twitching. A tabloid reporter peeked in the cell window.
"Senator Kelly drunk and in jail! That's solid gold, man!" He pulled out a camera and snapped a couple photos. "HA!" He disappeared.
"Hey you, blueboy!" Senator Kelly pointed at the guard. "Where's my martini, ya dumb hippie!" He then started drunkenly rambling. "Man, I hate hippies! They run around, no respect! They think the whole world's their toilet! Why I oughta..."
"Why me?" Duncan moaned, sitting against a wall. "Why? This is not happening..."
"Hey, you listenin' to me, boy?" Kelly snapped at Duncan.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Outside the Xavier Institute for the Gifted, one could hear explosions. Lots of explosions. As well as the occasional sound of things breaking.
"BAGA WHEEEEEE!!!!!!"
"SQUAWWWWWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"The babies!" Cover Girl realized. She and Recondo were sitting at a bar, having a drink. "I knew we forgot something! We forgot the babies!"
"We'd better go pick them up." Recondo shrugged.
"Right!" Cover Girl and Recondo pressed their teleporter watches. They materialized in front of the Institute. Cover Girl and Recondo opened the door, and the two Joes' eyes widened. The ex-model quickly closed the door. "You wanna go in there?"
"Nooo way." Recondo shook his head.
"They're fine." Cover Girl said. The two Joes teleported back to the bar.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Logan, I have searched everywhere!" Storm groaned. Storm, Wolverine, and Beast were at a street corner. They were searching for Xavier.
"I haven't seen him." Beast sighed. "Logan was too busy chasing a beerman out of the stadium."
"He should've given me a beer." Logan growled. "The smart aleck thought he could rip me off. I paid full price for it."
"You mean neither of you tried to find him?" Storm sighed.
"Hey, I was looking!" Logan groaned.
"You were looking to gut the beerman alive." Beast snickered.
"Shut up, Hank."
"Make me, Wolf-boy!" Hank glared. Logan unsheathed his claws.
"Gladly, Bluebell!" Logan snickered.
"Why you little!" Hank started strangling Logan like Homer Simpson. Storm groaned.
"Why me?" She sighed. Althea passed by, Shipwreck being dragged by her. "Have you seen the professor?"
"No, sorry." Althea shook her head. "Lance, Todd and I were too busy looking for Dad. Don't bother asking him. He's too drunk."
"Will you marry me?" Shipwreck gave a drunken grin.
"Your father wouldn't have been much help anyway. Where are your loony friends?" Storm said. Althea thought for a moment.
"Lance and Todd are catching up. Paul's most likely being swarmed by girls. Craig's probably either with him or beating someone up. Xi's invisible, and Wanda might throw Pietro into the lion cage at the zoo. Normal stuff for them." Althea shrugged.
"Did she say yes?" Shipwreck asked Althea.
"You're going home." Althea glared, dragging Shipwreck away as she walked off.
"She didn't answer! WAIT!!!" The sailor screamed. Lance, Todd, Paul, Craig, Xi, and Wanda dragging Pietro passed by afterwards quickly, leaving the weather goddess to scratch her head.
"What are those Misfits up to?" She wondered. She turned back to Beast and Wolverine, who were wrestling. She sighed and tried to break it up.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Remy and Ray were walking down the street, wondering where they went wrong in their plans.
"Remy knew he was aiming at Paul with dat net!" One could notice the Cajun had a slight limp. "Gambit don't t'ink he ever be able to walk normal again."
"You think you had it bad!" Ray groaned. "Paul took Beast over to help me out after Tabby brutalized me. Paul tried to restrain her while Mr. McCoy helped me up. I could have sworn that Mr. McCoy was laughing about how I looked. And I could've sworn that Tabby was constantly trying to kiss Paul. I hate that good-for-nothing rocker! He sucks!"
"Gambit agree." Remy nodded. He then noticed Rogue sitting on a bench. The southerner was crying. "Hang on a moment." He quickly ran to her. "Chere, what's wrong?"
"Ah hate mah powers." Rogue moaned. "Ah hate not being able to touch."
"Chere..." Remy's sat next to her. "Don' worry. Remember what Remy told you at your birthday party?" Rogue sniffed.
"Ah know, Remy..." A tear fell down her eye. "I just wanna be able to control mah powers, that's all." Her next statement made the Cajun steamed: "It's just that...AH WISH AH COULD KISS PAUL!!! WAHHHH!!!" Remy got up.
"Excuse Remy for one second." He walked into the building behind the bench. Once inside, Ray heard muffled sounds. Sounds of Gambit screaming, cursing, and breaking things were heard. Rogue couldn't hear it over her crying. Ray snickered. Remy stormed off, a brightly glowing card in his hand.
"NOW GAMBIT REALLY MAD!!!"
"Hey wait up, man!" Ray ran after Remy.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Scott and Peter recovered and got down from the building they were laying on.
"Aw, man." Scott groaned, holding his head. "I can't believe Jean was capable of doing that. I don't know if I'll ever fully recover."
"Da." Peter grumbled. "Paul Starr is a huge pest indeed."
"We gotta find Ray and Remy." Scott grinned evilly. "I have a plan to get rid of that woman-stealing Starchild once and for all! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Misfits met at the ice-cream shop. They caught up on what's going on, and they duct-taped Shipwreck to a chair, as well as gagged him.
"Okay." Althea said. "Did you guys get all the stuff you were assigned?"
"Paul was too swamped by girls to do anything." Craig groaned. "Jean and Tabby were both fighting over him in front of a club."
"You were too busy tearing up the police station." Paul said.
"I was too fascinated by human behavior." Xi replied.
"We tried, but Dopey over here decided to run to a zoo and tease the cheetahs. Again." Wanda moaned, pointing at Pietro.
"They were mocking me!" Pietro snapped.
"They were sleeping!" Wanda snapped back. "A Cheetah can't mock someone even awake!"
"You don't know 'em like I do, Wanda. You don't know what they're capable of!"
"They're certainly capable of tearing your head off! Maybe I should've let 'em!" Wanda groaned.
"Knock it off, you two!" Craig said.
"Lance and I were helping you, babe." Todd reminded Althea.
"I met Harvey Fowler." Fred grinned. "I'm going into an eating contest with him."
"Terrific." Pietro groaned. "You met Bayville's other human commissary."
"At least I'm not so insecure that I need to tease a bunch of cats to feel good." Blob grinned.
"I AM NOT INSECURE!!!" Pietro snapped.
"Yeah, you are." Wanda grinned.
"Whose side are you on?" Quicksilver glared.
"You guys are completely hopeless." Althea groaned. "Except Toddles."
"AL!!" Todd whined. "Not in public!" He noticed someone was missing. "Where's Paul?"
"He probably either saw a skirt or something shiny." Craig grumbled. It turns out that Paul had seen Nightcrawler pass by the shop. He looked rather depressed, and being the nice guy Paul was, he ran out of the shop to help.
"Hey!" Paul caught up with the blue-furred teen. "What's up? You seem rather down, dude."
"Hey." Kurt sighed. "Eet's Amanda."
"Amanda?" Paul scratched his head. "Who's Amanda?"
"Amanda Sefton." Kurt smiled. "My girlfriend. Here's a picture of her." Kurt showed Paul a picture. Paul whistled.
"She's a babe!" Paul grinned. "Chicks dig the fuzzy dude, huh?" The superstar handed back the picture.
"Ja." Kurt agreed. He then got depressed. "Ve're hitting a rough spot." Paul's face radiated sympathy.
"Aww, that's too bad, Blueman."
"Mmm." Kurt sighed. "She said I haven't tried to be romantic." Paul lit up. Starchild was a master at romancing ladies.
"Hey!" A light bulb went on in Paul's head. "I'll help you!"
"Really?" Kurt smiled. "Promise you won't try to use your charms on her?"
"No prob." Paul grinned. He put his arm around Kurt's shoulders. "Walk with me. Talk with me. I have a plan. Once this plan goes through, she'll be putty in your crazy-lookin' hands." Paul and Kurt walked off, Starchild explaining what he needed. Meanwhile, Jamie raced into the ice-cream shop, and slid under the table where the Misfits sat. Craig lifted the tablecloth and scowled.
"Go away, kid. This is the grownup table."
"Bite me, Darkstar." Jamie retorted.
"What's up, Jamie? Grown bored with your new image already?" Pietro quipped.
"Naw. Just hiding from Trinity." Jamie grinned.

"Vhy are ve going to a florist?" Kurt wondered.
"Chicks dig flowers. That's why." Paul grinned as they walked in. "Every babe has a preference. Come on, my blue furry friend." The two teen looked at the flowers. A man walked up to them.
"Looking for something special for your girlfriends?"
"You could say that." Kurt grinned. Before he went out, he made sure his holowatch was on.
"I am looking for something nice for my girlfriends." Paul grinned.
"A player, huh?" The florist laughed, playfully punching Paul's arm.
"He is." Kurt sighed. Amara walked in and she lit up. "And here comes one of zem."
"Paul!!" She squealed, running to Starchild. She gave him a hug. "I missed you." Paul smiled.
"What can I say? Chicks dig rockers." Paul laughed. Kurt sighed.
"Right." The florist said.
"Well, my friend Kurt here needs flowers. He's in a rough spot with his girlfriend because he said something about chicks loving the fuzzy dude and she got jealous."
"Paul! Stop! Zat's really embarrassing." Kurt whined. Amara giggled.
"Aww, Pauly didn't mean it, Kurt." Magma giggled.
"We're hoping some flowers'll cheer her up." Paul said. "If you have any chocolates, we'll take a box of those too."
"Okay." Paul took care of the payment with help from Jean's credit card. Craig had swiped it earlier and gave it to him. "Alright, let's rock!"
"You've been hanging around Lance vaaaay too long." Kurt sighed. "Vhat vas ze next part of your plan?"
"I have to go, Pauly." Amara sighed. "I just remembered. I have to do something important." She ran off, giving Paul a kiss on the cheek.
"Well, I..." Paul was interrupted by a glowing card streaking by him. It barely missed his hair before it landed near him and exploded. "Huh?" The two mutants turned around and saw an enraged Gambit. He clutched his staff in one hand and a glowing card. "Oh hey dude."
"GAMBIT SICK OF YOU!!! I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF!!!" Gambit supercharged the card and pitched it hard. Paul instinctively fired his laser. The laser hit the card, causing an energy reaction that went KABOOM! The explosion knocked the Cajun mutant into a dumpster in an alley. "Ouchie."
"What was that all about?" Paul thought as he ran to Gambit. The Los Angeles native pulled the Cajun out of the dumpster.
"Owwwch." Remy grumbled. "Dat was not good for de skull."
"You okay, man? Why'd you throw that card at me?"
"Remy tired of your presence, Starr! I'm sick and tired of hearin' Rogue fawn over you!"
"Huh? Maybe she finds me attractive." Paul scratched his head. Kurt ran up o the two boys. None of them noticed Rogue creep up behind Paul. Well, except for Kurt.
"Guys..."
"You are nothin' but a lame-brained, lousy, good-for-nothin' woman- stealer!" Remy snapped.
"Guys..." Kurt tried to tell them a little louder. Gambit cocked back his fist. "And Gambit gonna send you back to LA!!!" Gambit threw his punch.
"Guys!!" Kurt yelled.
"Yipe!" Paul ducked, not knowing Rogue was behind him. As a result, Remy accidentally punched her in the nose! Remy's eyes widened.
"Uh-oh!"
"I tried to tell you." Kurt groaned.
"OWWWW!!!!!" Rogue screamed. "YOU ARE SOOOO LUCKY THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS, MAH NOSE CAN'T BE BROKEN, REMY!!!"
"Oopsie." Remy cowered.
"Vhat where you doing there?" Kurt wondered.
"Ah was hopin' to surprise mah little Starchild." Rogue put her head on Paul's shoulder. Gambit glared at a grinning Paul.
"THAT'S IT!!! I KILL YOU NOW!!!" Gambit threw a punch at Paul, but Rogue caught it and twisted his arm.
"You lay a finger on mah Paul and Ah will twist your limbs and spine in ways previously unknown to man or mutant. Got it?" Rogue snarled.
"Okay, okay! Gambit give! Gambit give!" Remy screamed. Rogue let go and glared at a laughing Kurt. "You have a problem, brother?"
"None at all." Kurt grinned. "None at all."
"Why me?" Gambit groaned. "I have to put up wit' dis no-good, woman-swiping thief!"
"THAT'S IT!!!" Rogue screamed as she started wailing on Gambit.
"WAHH!!! OWWWW!!! HEEELP!!! OWWWW!!!!"
"Hang on, Remy!" Paul started to help, but was stopped by Kurt.
"Ze best thing to do here is to just let her beat him senseless. Better for your health. Just help me with Amanda." Kurt and Paul teleported away.
What is Paul's plan? Who knows. Where's Xavier? Who knows. What do the Misfits plan to do with all that stuff they needed? Not even I know. Keep it on for the next episode of "X-Men, meet the Starr Brothers!"

The cops ignored his threats and threw him into a cell with another man. A red-faced Duncan grabbed the bars and started jumping around and screaming like an ape, pounding his chest. Matthews's cellmate was lying on the bed, in a disheveled suit, and he looked extremely plastered.
"With aaaaarms wide opeeeennnn BURP!!!" The cellmate slurred out, trying to sing. Duncan couldn't believe who it was.
"Senator Kelly?!?!" Duncan's eyes widened. "How'd you get in here?" Kelly mumbled something then burst out laughing. A cop standing nearby laughed.
"The good senator got a little too drunk for his own good." The cop laughed. "He ran about town, screaming about pink elephant mutants, then he..."

"Senator Kelly drunk and in jail! That's solid gold, man!" He pulled out a camera and snapped a couple photos. "HA!" He disappeared.
"Hey you, blueboy!" Senator Kelly pointed at the guard. "Where's my martini, ya dumb hippie!" He then started drunkenly rambling. "Man, I hate hippies! They run around, no respect! They think the whole world's their toilet! Why I oughta..."
"Why me?" Duncan moaned, sitting against a wall. "Why? This is not happening..."
"Hey, you listenin' to me, boy?" Kelly snapped at Duncan.

"OWWWW!!!!!" Rogue screamed. "YOU ARE SOOOO LUCKY THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT HURTS, MAH NOSE CAN'T BE BROKEN, REMY!!!"
"Oopsie." Remy cowered.
"Vhat where you doing there?" Kurt wondered.
"Ah was hopin' to surprise mah little Starchild." Rogue put her head on Paul's shoulder. Gambit glared at a grinning Paul.
"THAT'S IT!!! I KILL YOU NOW!!!" Gambit threw a punch at Paul, but Rogue caught it and twisted his arm.
"You lay a finger on mah Paul and Ah will twist your limbs and spine in ways previously unknown to man or mutant. Got it?" Rogue snarled.
"Okay, okay! Gambit give! Gambit give!" Remy screamed. Rogue let go and glared at a laughing Kurt. "You have a problem, brother?"
"None at all." Kurt grinned. "None at all."
"Why me?" Gambit groaned. "I have to put up wit' dis no-good, woman-swiping thief!"
"THAT'S IT!!!" Rogue screamed as she started wailing on Gambit.
"WAHH!!! OWWWW!!! HEEELP!!! OWWWW!!!!"
"Hang on, Remy!" Paul started to help, but was stopped by Kurt.
"Ze best thing to do here is to just let her beat him senseless. Better for your health. Just help me with Amanda." Kurt and Paul teleported away.
What is Paul's plan? Who knows. Where's Xavier? Who knows. What do the Misfits plan to do with all that stuff they needed? Not even I know. Keep it on for the next episode of "X-Men, meet the Starr Brothers!"
