An Interrupted Tea Party

"Would you like more sugar?" Brittany asked.

"No thank you," The Hulk replied. He sat there with a tiny teacup in one hand, trying to extend his pinky finger. They were all sitting around a blanket. Trinity somehow had gotten hold of a tea set.

"I do not believe this," Todd groaned. "Where did you guys get this stuff anyway?"

"That's our secret," Quinn smiled.

"Comfy Hulk?" Daria asked.

"Hulk tired," He let out a huge yawn.

"Hey you okay?" Todd asked. "You look a little less green around the gills there."

Slowly the Hulk shrunk in shape. Soon before them in torn brown pants was not the Hulk but a brown haired thin man in his place. "He changed back!" Todd remarked. "Phew!"

"So did his pants," Quinn said.

"How did he do that?" Wanda asked as the rest of the Misfits appeared.

"Maybe when the radiation in him subsided from his skin, it got out of his pants too," Lance shrugged.

"How long have you guys been there?" Todd asked.

"Long enough to get some great shots," Pietro held up a small video recorder.

"Oh great!" Todd groaned.

"Where…where am I?" Bruce Banner looked around.

"Right there duh," Brittany said.

"Who are you people?" Bruce asked.

"We're the Misfits," Lance told him. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, yes I am," Bruce sighed. "What happened?"

"Well let's just say if you went onstage you could sing a duet with yourself," Pietro told him. "Fortunately we calmed you down before you wrecked another town to bits."

"Oh god," Bruce put his head in his hands. "I'm sorry…I'm not like this."

"I know," Althea said. "And I'm sorry too." With one swift movement she knocked him unconscious. "I hated to do that, but no sense taking any chances. Call the choppers. Tell him we have Banner."

"Ten Four good buddy," Fred nodded as he started to play with the radio. "Testing…one, two three…Lance which button was it again?"

"Trinity, give him one of your knock out shots just to make sure he stays asleep," Althea said. "Tying him up won't do any good if he wakes up and gets ticked off."

"Already ahead of you," Daria gave Bruce a shot. "He'll be out for hours."

No one noticed the tiny spydroid above them. "Excellent," The Leader grinned as he watched the action from his hideout. "Gargoyle! Prepare the drones! It's time we made a house call!"

************************************************************************

An hour later several huge choppers appeared in the sky. "Hey down here!" Pietro waved.

"Looks like the Misfits finally did what the Hulkbusters couldn't do," Agent Gabriel Jones looked down. "They captured Bruce Banner."

"SHEILD wasn't exactly successful either," General Hawk pointed out. Duke and Roadblock were with him as well as Doc Samson and Betty.

"They got him," Major Talbot blinked from his chopper. "They actually got him!"

"I don't know how they did it, but they did it!" General Ross whooped. "And they didn't even need the containment unit! This…. WHAT THE?" Ross yelled as an explosion went off near the chopper. "WHO'S SHOOTING AT US?"

Several huge mechanical drones appeared, attacking the choppers. "What the heck are those things?" Althea shouted.

"I dunno but…" Pietro started to say, then a rumbling interrupted him. "Avalanche please tell me that's you!"

"No it is not," Lance gulped. Suddenly a huge hole opened up underneath them and swallowed the majority of the Misfits. Trinity used their powers in order to fly over it.

"Wow, good thing we can fly," Daria looked at the hole.

A laser beam narrowly missed them. "Yeah but that just makes us a target!" Quinn shouted. They flew around dodging the missiles.

"HA HA!" The Leader laughed as he piloted his own personal drone. "Take that you meddlesome munchkins! Gargoyle! Have you secured the targets yet?"

"Yes my leader! The gas has taken effect!" Gargoyle told him. "I knew my…uh your underground reconnaissance vehicle would do the trick."

"Excellent! Now all we have to do is blow the army out of the sky!" The Leader laughed. He then winced when he saw Trinity blow up a few of his drones with his powers. "On the other hand, we got what we came for. Let's get back to base! So says…The Leader!"

Soon the drones were gone. "What just happened here?" Hawk shouted.

"Who was that nutcase?" Duke asked.

"The Leader," Doc Samson growled. "A very dangerous individual. Been after the Hulk for years. He wants to create an army with the Hulk's DNA. And it looks like he took the Misfits for some extras."

"The Hulk's bad enough but if the Leader gets his hands on mutant DNA…" General Ross frowned.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Hawk asked. "Let's go find the kids!"

"How?" Betty asked.

"Use the homing signal of course," Hawk smirked.

"Homing signal?" Ross asked. "What homing signal?"

"The one each kid has on him or her," Duke explained. "In their watches. There they go! The transmission is coming in loud and clear."

"Let's go save big sis and the rest," Daria said.

"You Joes think of everything don't you?" Talbot asked.

"Well let's go!" Roadblock said. "Yo Joe!"

************************************************************************

"Ugh…what hit me?" Lance groaned as he woke up. He found himself strapped to a metal chair.

"Last thing I recall is falling into a hole and being gassed…" Xi groaned.

"Where are we?" Pietro looked around. They were in a lab of some sort. Nearly all the Misfits were strapped to metal chairs tightly. Fred was in some sort of stasis tube tied down. Banner was in a similar one.

"Oh…" Fred turned his head trying to wake up.

"Blob! Blob wake up buddy!" Todd called out.

"Ohh…Toad let me sleep in just a few more minutes," Fred moaned. Then he opened his eyes. "Hey! What the…?"

"Ah I see our guests have awakened," The Leader strode out of the shadows.

"Okay who is this guy?" Lance asked.

"I am…" He made a dramatic pause. "The Leader."

"The leader of what?" Todd asked.

"Nothing just The Leader," He frowned.

"What do you mean nothing?" Fred asked. "You gotta be the leader of something. Otherwise you're just some nut running around saying he's the boss of people when he's really not in charge of anything."

"Shut up!" The Leader snapped.

"You have to admit he has a point," Gargoyle said.

"You too!" The Leader snapped. "I want to thank you children for retrieving my personal property."

"Your property?" Wanda asked.

"Yes my dear," The Leader purred. "You see originally the Hulk was created as an after affect of my sabotage. His strength and power are rightfully mine. With the Hulk under my control I will soon have my own personal army!"

"Dream on Cabbage Patch Head!" Pietro struggled.

"Such a spirited attitude," The Leader grinned. "You Misfits will also help me attain my goals of world domination. I'm sure I can find something interesting to do with your powers. Now…" Suddenly there was an explosion. "WHAT IS IT NOW?"

Another loud explosion created a hole in the wall. Several figures with weapons came through it. "Hello there," Cobra Commander grinned as he strode inside. "I believe you have something I want."

Coming up next: Guess who wakes up! And don't miss the sissy fight of the century!
