Hollywood Hi-jinks!
To RogueFanKC: Thanks for the suggestions, dude! Man, you really do have it in for the X-Boys, huh? Don't worry, Virus and Zanya will try something to get their hands on Wavedancer and Starchild.
To Red Witch: Tell Althea that Virus will get hurt badly in this story.

"We're goin' to Hollywood, hey! We're goin' to Hollywood, hey!" The Misfits happily sang. They were on board a GI Joe carrier jet, heading to LA. Their adult handlers were with them. The kids were clad in civilian clothes, but they always had their uniforms handy, just in case.
"I'm gonna set a real movie set on fire! This'll be fantastic!" John whooped happily.
"LA. Home sweet home." Shipwreck smiled as he looked out the window. "I wonder how Jesse is doing." With the crazy sailor was Barbecue, Bulldog, Lionheart, Cover Girl, and Low Light, all clad in civvies themselves.
"Hey, you said the kid turned out to be an X-Positive, right?" Low Light remembered.
"Yeah. Jesse can create reflective forcefields." Shipwreck replied. "They work like a mirror. They reflect attacks back at their source. His powers emerged when he was attacked by a bully. Jesse's fields made the bully punch himself." Althea overheard.
"Hey guys!" She whispered. The other Misfits crowded around their leader. "My cousin Jesse has an X-Gene."
"Wasn't he kidnapped by Cobra and brainwashed once?" Craig asked. "Something to do with explosive crystals. Dusty told me about it." Althea nodded.
"According to dad, Jesse can create energy fields. Like a force shield, but they can reflect attacks like a mirror reflects light. I should catch up with Cousin Jesse. Convince him to join the Misfits. I did tell him about you guys."
"Let's keep this quiet from the X-Geeks." Lance said. "Don't let them know." Althea nodded in agreement.
"Like heck if any cousin of mine ends up an X-Geek." Al nodded.
"What if he doesn't want to join?" Paul asked. While the Misfits were conversing, the adults were conversing as well.
"I remember the last time we helped out with a movie. That sleazebag director didn't give us any credit at all." Cover Girl groaned. Lionheart squealed happily.
"I can't believe that I'm going to be in a movie!" The Englishwoman laughed happily. She nudged her brother. "I wish Mum was here to see this. She always wanted to go to Hollywood." Bulldog dropped his head sadly.
"I know. Every day of my life, I wish she was here." Bulldog sighed.
"Cheer up, Bulldog." Barbecue smiled. "They're fun to be had and fame to be enjoyed."
"And I'll bet that we would look fantastic going down the red carpet together." Lionheart blew a kiss at Barbecue. The Boston native glared at Lionheart's older brother.
"Why'd you have to bring her?" Barbecue groaned. Bulldog snickered.
"To keep you on your toes, my friend." Bulldog laughed.
"I'll bet you're dreaming of going down the red carpet with Storm, huh?" Cover Girl smiled. The London-born pilot blushed.
"That's a statement a lady should never say to a gentleman." Bulldog turned his gaze to the ceiling. Cover Girl laughed.
"If I were any other woman, I'd say that you were crazy."
"Bulldog's obsessed with knights. King Arthur and all that." Lionheart laughed. "He believes in chivalry and all that."
"Hey Bulldog, maybe they'll do an 'Evil Space Chickens in London' sometime. You can star in it." Low Light teased. Bulldog groaned.

"Zanya, get back here!" Zandar's voice yelled over a bike-board intercom. Zanya herself was on a motorcycle, riding to the studio where 'Evil Space Chickens VI' was being filmed. "Zanya, your old man is going to kill me if he finds out you're gone!"
"Uncle Zandar, I have to be in this movie! I can't stand the thought of any other girl in a role beside my beloved Paul."
"That silly crush you have on that Misfit is going to spell the end of you!" Zandar yelled.
"Sorry, Uncle Zandar." Zanya smirked. "True love can't be stopped."
"Oh give me a break! You really think he ca-" Zandar was interrupted by Zanya's shutting off the radio.
"Hang on, Starchild. Your true love is on her way!" Zanya sped off. She stopped at an alley near the studio. She met up with another teen Dreadnok. "Hey Virus."
"About bloody time you showed up!" Virus snapped impatiently.
"You know what we want." Zanya snickered.
"You're after your precious Starchild." Virus muttered.
"And you have a psychotic fixation on Wavedancer. I don't know why. I'm much more better-looking than her." Zanya quipped. "How's your new powers?" Virus's powers recently underwent another mutation: In addition to his power to possess machines, the British teen gained a mutant inventing power, similar to Forge's mutant power.
"I like 'em." Virus smirked. "I modified one of the robots they use to play the Space Chickens. I put a few surprises in it. All I have to do is leap inside and work my magic. I'll show that Tolensky." Virus's eyes glowed electronic green with rage. "I'll show him. No one stands in the way of the Virus, especially when he wants something!"
"Hey psycho-nerd, can I ask you something else?" Zanya groaned. "I also want you to take out the X-Geek Girls. They think they can take the heart of my Starchild!"
"Whatever." Virus may have been crazy, but he was smart enough to know never to insult Paul around a girl who had a thing for him. He and Zanya then used their ninja skills to sneak inside the studio.

"I must admit." Ororo smiled as she piloted the X-Jet. "It is interesting to see a movie being made. And it'll be good to see mutants as the heroes. Even if they are the Misfits."
"Yeah." Logan looked behind him from the next seat. The X-Men were with them. The X-Girls were squabbling the whole trip. It all started from when the quintet asked Paul who he thought which of them would be perfect in a scene. From his film experience, he replied that it really depended on the scene and the mood of the film. Of course, the X-Boys were grumbling.
"Hey, Paul told us that LA is where Jenny Walters is from." Sam remembered.
"Hey, maybe if we're lucky, we'll see her!" Roberto sighed, hearts flying around his face. "Jennifer.caramia."
"Oh please! She likes me, man!" Sam grumbled.
"No way, dude! She obviously likes me. There was a spark. Big time!" Ray grinned.
"She likes guys like me. I'm cool, man. In more ways than one." Bobby snickered, icing up his fist to make his point. At this point, the four male New Mutants started squabbling. Jamie sighed.
"Shipwreck told me about his cousin Jesse. I'd like to meet him. See if he's got any talents I can market. Singing, acting, that kind of thing." Jamie grinned. He was wearing another suit that looked stolen from Elton John's wardrobe. Logan shook his head and the Canadian turned to Storm.
"Where does that kid get those weird outfits?" Logan groaned.
"Giorgio Armani!" Jamie yelled good-naturedly in response.
"Kid, I didn't want to know." Logan said to Jamie.
"We're here." Storm said. The two airplanes landed in the studio. McGee was amazed by the Blackbird.
"Remind me to feature that plane in a scene." McGee whispered to an assistant. The young man nodded in response. McGee walked up to the mutants. "Welcome to Grandiose Pictures! The home of the Evil Space Chickens!"
"Great." Logan rolled his eyes.
"I see you Misfits are excited." McGee smiled. Lance shot Scott a rude gesture, and Craig flipped Hank a gang warning sign, a gesture he learned while a member of the Man-Eaters.
"Charmed, Darkstar." Beast sighed.
"I'm sure you're wanting to start filming." McGee grinned.
"Oh yeah." Pietro laughed. "Bring on the spotlights, baby! Pietro Maximoff has hit Hollywood!"
The Misfits have hit Hollywood! Will the movie be a hit? What'll Virus and Zanya do to sabotage the flick? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
