"PIETRO, GO AWAY!!!!!" Scott Summers screamed. The X-Men were just settling down for breakfast when Pietro Maximoff, aka Quicksilver of the Misfits, teleported in and started gobbling.
"Every morning, the same thing." Jean Grey grumbled. "The Misfits join us for breakfast." A glob of applesauce landed on her face. The rest of the reformed mutants teleported in, except for two, alongside Recondo, Shipwreck, Cover Girl, and a Joe with many unusual hobbies.
"Airtight!" Beast hopped up and shook the other Joe's hand. "Good to see you."
"Nice to meet you too, Dr. McCoy. Where is the muffin creature you talked to me about?" Airtight smiled. "I'd love to take a look at it."
"In my lab." The blue gorilla-like mutant and the Joe went to Beast's lab to study the muffin creature.
"How were you able to prevent it from going stale?"
"Hi honey! Miss me?" Shipwreck winked at Ororo.
"Like a wooden table misses a termite." Storm groaned. A certain black- haired mutant teleported in, dressed like a glam rocker, and carrying quite a few bags from a fast-food place. He also carried five red roses.
"Bonjour, mes amis!" Paul Stanley Starr, the Misfit codenamed Starchild, greeted with a smile.
"Hi Paul." Jean, Tabby, Amara, Rogue, and Kitty greeted sweetly.
"Go home, Paul!" Scott, Remy, Ray, and Peter growled at the same time.
"Be nice, Scott!" Jean snapped.
"Like, he's been nothing but nice to everyone! Why do you four have to be so mean to him?" Kitty said.
"I went to the McDonalds near the base and I got breakfast for everybody." Paul grinned. "I got salad for Kitty because she's a vegetarian and stuff." He also haded a rose to each of the girls.
"Thank you, Pauly." Kitty said. She glared at Peter. "See? Paul's nothing but sweet."
"Sweet as a lemon." Peter grumbled.
"Paul went to all that trouble, swamp rat!" Rogue snapped after Gambit snatched his McD's from Paul. "You could at least say thank you!"
"Okay, thank you for the food, now GO AWAY!!!" Gambit snapped at Paul. Rogue punched him. "OW!!"
"What's your damage, Gambit?" Paul asked, imitating Winona Ryder.
"I personally would like Paul for breakfast." Tabby grinned.
"If it involves putting him in an oven, I'm in." Ray grumbled. Tabby kicked him. "OW!!"
"Be nice!" Tabby glared. Bobby, Kurt, Sam, Roberto, and Jamie (who still was glammed-out) gave Paul high-fives. Even Lockheed was happy to see Paul. The little dragon gave Paul a nuzzle. "I don't understand why you, Cyclops, Colossus, and Gambit hate poor old Paul. He's a sweetheart!"
"He's a no-good..." Ray started
"Put on the news!" Paul interrupted excitedly. Logan turned on the news.
"Yesterday, the GI Joe-trained team of mutants known as the Misfits helped bring the slippery Viper to justice. Viper, real name unknown, was wanted in several countries for a string of mutant assassinations that ran for almost three years. Ever since their first appearance, the Misfits have gained much popularity." Logan turned off the TV, jaw agape.
"You crazies are media darlings?!" Logan asked.
"Yup. I got an offer to do a cover of Teen People." Pietro grinned.
"You believe how many letters Lance gets from lonely girls." Todd quipped.
"Why doesn't he just go to them instead of Kitty?" Peter smirked.
"DIE!" Lance tackled Piotr.
"Did I ever mention I love this place?" Paul grinned, chowing down on a hash brown. Blob teleported in, carrying many bags.
"I got my breakfast!" Blob grinned. "Happy, Rogue?"
"Very." Rogue rolled her eyes.
"Two new Joes came into the group today." Cover Girl smiled.
"From Jolly Olde England." Pietro quipped in an English accent. "One of them was in something called MI5."
"From ze James Bond movies. MI5 is ze English version of ze CIA." Kurt explained.
"They were also both in the Royal Air Force." Wanda added.
"They should be on their way right about..." Cover Girl looked at her watch as two figures teleported in. "Now." The X-Men looked at the two figures. The first one was a muscular guy, around 6'10". His long brown hair was put in a ponytail. His brown eyes were hidden under dark sunglasses. He wore a white London t-shirt. He had a black bomber jacket with the RAF logo and the Union Jack on each shoulder. The sleeves had been rolled up, revealing a studded bracelet and black biker gloves. He had on tight blue jeans and white tennis shoes. Next to him was a bulldog with a Union Jack bandanna and a spiked dog collar around its neck. "That's Corporal Bryan Dawson. His codename is Bulldog."
"How do you do, Yanks?" Bulldog nodded, smiling. His voice had a thick London accent." He gestured to his pet bulldog. "My pal, Davey Boy." The bulldog barked.
"Like, he's so cute!" Kitty petted the dog. She started cooing. "Like, yes you are. Yes you are, you are such a cute puppy." Davey Boy happily licked Kitty's face.
"I named 'im after the late wrestler. Had 'im since I was a pup. Right here's my little sister, Corporal Hannah Dawson. She's called Lionheart." He motioned to a beautiful raven-haired woman who looked like she spent some time at the gym herself. Her body was muscular, but it was still curvy, like a feline. Her wavy hair was in a high ponytail, similar in style to Kitty's. Her green eyes were covered by a pair of mirrored shades. She looked like a punk rocker, wearing a Clash t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off, and a roaring lion's head tattooed on her left shoulder. She had on blue jeans that were shredded at the knees, black boots, a white studded belt, and a black spiked collar and a red bandanna around her neck. Her black hair had blond tips.
"How you doin'?" Her English accent was thick, making her voice sound a little gruff, but cultured. "Nice to meet you all. We heard about you guys."
"Great. Two new Joes." Scott groaned.
"They're special." Cover Girl grinned. "Show 'em." Bulldog walked outside, Lionheart following her brother. The mutants followed them. Bulldog walked to the X-Van and lifted it with one arm. Lionheart's fingernails glowed bright blue, and they turned into energy blades. "They're mutants. Bulldog has superhuman strength, and he can telepathically communicate with any member of the dog family. Lionheart can telepathically communicate with any member of the cat family, and she can charge her fingernails up with energy, turning them into 'laser claws'."
"Saved my butt on numerous occasions." Lionheart grinned.
"Wow." The X-Men's jaws dropped.
"Ha ha!" Lance pointed at Scott. "Bulldog and Lionheart aren't just pretty faces. They're also tough."
"Lionheart beat up all the Renegades in a couple minutes." Althea said.
"It was a sight to see." Xi remembered. "All the Renegades were trying to get a date with her."
"I said I'd go on a date with the Renegade who can beat me in a fight. They accepted, and I fought them one-by-one. I beat 'em. I felt sorry for them, so I gave them a second chance. I let them all come at me, and I beat 'em." Lionheart shrugged. "They weren't so tough."
"You should've seen it! The Renegades haven't left the gym since." Althea laughed. "Tauros screamed at the sky." She turned to Paul.
"I shall win Lionheart's love at all costs!" Paul imitated the Eastern European Renegade. The Misfits burst out laughing at Paul's imitation.
"Anyway, you won't believe what happened in the Pit today." Recondo sighed. "King of the Crazies invented something today."
"King of de Crazies? Dat describes half de people in de Pit!" Remy said.
"I mean Airtight." Recondo replied. "The nutball said he invented something, and he wants everyone to see it."
"What is it, a love potion?" Shipwreck mocked.
"GI Joe don't need one! They got a human love potion right there!" Ray snapped, pointing at Paul.
"What do you think about that, miss..." Bulldog turned to Storm.
"Ororo Munroe. I am known as Storm." She replied.
"Ah." Bulldog took her hand. "Enchanted." He kissed her hand. Storm let out a small giggle. "Shipwreck always talked about you, but his description pales in comparison to your real beauty."
"Oh big brother, you're always pulling that bloody old 'knight in shining armor' bit." Lionheart laughed at her older brother's antics.
"Hey wait a minute Bulldog..." Shipwreck raised his fists, but Althea stopped him.
"You should watch and learn from him, Dad." Althea laughed. "He seems to know what women like."
"My brother tends to think that he's a knight at times." Lionheart shook her head.
"We are representing Great Britain here, Sis." Bulldog grinned. "And besides, you do know there are a couple knights in our family history."
"Yeah, but you think you're bloody related to Sir Lancelot." Lionheart groaned.
"Look, can we see Airtight's stupid invention so you Misfits can go away?" Jean groaned.
"Paul can stay." Rogue said. "He's sweet."
"Yeah, Paul can stay." Jean smiled. Scott's face turned red and he bared his teeth.
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Cyclops growled under his breath.

The X-Jet arrived at the Pit a couple hours later. The X-Men groaned as they walked to the Joe auditorium.
"After you, ladies." Paul and Bulldog held open the doors for Storm and the X-Girls.
"Thank you." They all said sweetly to the Joe and the Misfit.
"Watch it Bulldog." Shipwreck warned the Brit Joe.
"Got a plan to take care of Starchild?" Gambit asked Scott, Ray, and Peter.
"There's bound to be an opportunity here." Scott smirked. "And when we find it, it'll be Operation: Death to Starchild."
"Here, here." The other boys agreed. Once inside, the X-Men ended up witnessing a typical Joe meeting.
"Leatherneck! Wet Suit! Can't you two get along for five seconds?" Hawk snapped from the podium.
"No sir!" The marine and the SEAL saluted Hawk respectfully. They then went back to their argument.
"AC/DC!!!" Leatherneck shouted.
"Metallica!" Wet Suit shouted back.
"AC/DC!!!"
"Metallica!"
"AC/DC is the greatest hard rock band!"
"Metallica could blow 'em off the stage!"
"If there was no AC/DC, there'd be no Metallica you dumb gyrene!"
"Metallica plays faster and harder than AC/DC ever could, Jarhead!"
"AC/DC has more rock classics under their belt!"
"Metallica isn't a bunch of old farts!"
"I don't see what they're arguing about." Paul scratched his head. "Everyone knows Kiss is the hottest band in the world. They say it themselves."
"Good thing neither of those clowns heard it." Lance whispered to Craig.
"Mm." Craig nodded his head.
"Watch it Starchild, you're treading on very thin ice here!" Wet Suit warned.
"Yeah, the only thing great about Kiss is their stage show!" Leatherneck snapped.
"Wow Paul, you got them to agree on something." Xi rolled his eyes.
"It's a miracle. Hallelujah." Hawk shook his head.
"Never mind." Paul sighed, waving his hand.
"Are you two crazies finished?" Hawk grumbled.
"Just start without 'em. They probably won't contribute anything useful anyway." Beach Head groaned.
"SHUT UP BEACH HEAD!!!" Everyone snapped at the Ranger.
"Hmph." Beach Head grumbled. "At least you still love me, Sergeant..." Beach Head turned to the seat next to him and his eyes widened. "Sergeant Snuffles? SERGEANT SNUFFLES!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!" Beach Head frantically searched around his seat. He then heard snickering. "Wha--?" He looked up and saw Tripwire and Short Fuse sneak away with his beloved teddy bear. "GET AWAY FROM MY BEAR!!!!"
"Aw shoot! Run dude!" Short Fuse yelled. The two Joes ran off, Beach Head after them with steam coming out of his nostrils. He screamed like an enraged bull.
"Hoo boy." Hawk sighed. "Anybody else wanna try something stupid?" Hawk groaned.
"SHIPWRECK, GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!" Ororo screamed.
"OWWW!!!!" Shipwreck held his face as Bulldog punched him out. "THAT'S IT!!!" Shipwreck tackled Bulldog. The LA-born sailor and the London-born pilot started brawling. The other Joes started trying to break it up. Hawk sighed.
"Airtight, this is as much attention as you're gonna get. Hope they actually hear a word you say." Hawk groaned, giving up. He left the podium and Airtight smirked. He pulled out a megaphone from his jacket.
"QUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He screamed into it.
"OWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! MY EARS!!!!!" Everyone else screamed.
"Airtight, don't ever do that again! OW! I got another headache." Lance moaned.
"Sorry." Airtight apologized innocently. "Anyway, Wolverine and Jinx volunteered to bring out my new invention, so..." Airtight waved to the stage, their cue. However, they didn't wheel out the invention. Airtight wondered what went wrong. He ran backstage, and then he wheeled out the invention himself ten minutes later. "Wolverine and Jinx are...indisposed." The other Joes snickered. The invention was about ten feet tall, covered by a white sheet. "Okay! Here it is, my latest invention! Behold!" Airtight threw off the sheet. The X-Men, Misfits and the other Joes looked in shock and awe at Airtight's creation.
What did Airtight create? What horrible fate has been cooked up for Starchild by Berzerker, Gambit, Cyclops, and Colossus? Where was Xavier through all of this? Find out next time as we view Airtight's Creation!
