Hotter than Hellion
To Red Witch: One mystery down! I guess Col. Fury is Ace's "boss" after all.
To Wizard1: Yeah, he's safer in the X-Men. A meeting between between Paul and Jason is on its way. I think Foxfire will go after Paul, but for himself alone. Don't worry, a Starr family reunion will happen. I think Paul will be amazed when he discovers that his charms are actually a family trait! Yeah, I did have some FF.Net trouble! As far as Draconis is concerned, his nature will be revealed in time. But as for Fox, he's not really as big a jerk as everyone thinks.
To JCKIDSMART: I'll try.
To RogueFanKC: Foxfire, the ultimate womanizer wannabe, meeting Paul, the living definition of the words 'babe magnet'...Aw yeah, that spells disaster! I hope the X-Girls only put Fox in the intensive care ward.
To Sparky Genocide: X23 and Moonstar, huh? Well, I might feature them in the future. I don't really see X23 fawning over Paul, but Moonstar, yeah. Your version of Cheney sounds really interesting. I might put in my own version of the character.
Chapter 4: Another typical day!

"YOU STEEL-PLATED STEROID USER!!!" Lance snapped, shoving Peter.
"YOU WHINY ROCKER WANNABE!!!!" Peter screamed back, shoving Lance. After Lance said a comment that couldn't be repeated here, fists started flying.
"Not again!" Kitty groaned. Fox slinked up behind her.
"Hey baby." Fox grinned, trying to be suave. "You look as ravishing as usual. What do you say we--?"
"Forget it, Fox." Kitty huffed, walking away. Fox watched her as she walked.
"You know you want me, baby!" Fox called. She responded with a finger, making the Detroit native chuckle. "She so wants me." He watched the fight. "I don't see why you morons fight over a chick that obviously desires me." Lance and Peter immediately stopped brawling. They looked at Fox, then at each other.
"I'll hold him, you punch him." Peter said. Lance nodded. The two charged Fox. Fox immediately set his hands ablaze.
"Watch it, Metal Moron!" Fox snapped at Colossus. "One more step, and I melt you into scrap!" Peter took a step back, making Fox smirk. "Oh yeah. You now know I'm the better man HEY!!!" Lance had snuck up behind Fox, and held him. Peter started nailing Fox. "OW HEY OW NOT THE FACE AAAAGH!!!!" Meanwhile, Jake's reception was a lot nicer.
"Your father's a wrestler, huh?" Jamie and Jake were conversing.
"Yeah. My dad is Eric "Blazer" Wildfire. He's a former World Wrestling Federation Champion. He also won the NWA Tag, United States, and World Titles." Jake said. "My dad wrestled in the US, in Europe, in Mexico, and in Japan." Jake smiled. "My dad met my mother in Japan. She was stationed there because she was an airman with the US Air Force. I'll go into that later." Jake said.
"You want to follow in your dad's footsteps?" Jamie raised an eyebrow.
"Mm-hmm." Jake nodded. "Yeah. My dad and my grandfather all wrestled. It's a family business and a source of pride with us. I remember as a kid, meeting the greats." Jake pointed to a Rolex on his wrist. "Ric Flair gave this to me on my twelfth birthday. It's kept perfect time since then. I've grown up knowing Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Hogan, Savage, Undertaker, among others." Jake sighed sadly. "It wasn't easy for me growing up. As a kid, I was teased. At the time, many people thought of wrestling as a sport for rednecks. I was teased mercilessly." Jake sighed.
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, boo-frickity-hoo.] Draconis said in Jake's mind. [So you were teased. You're such a sissy. You were always a sissy.]
{Shut up, Draconis! I'm not afraid of you anymore! Ms. Frost's telepathic barrier keeps you inside! She'll find a way to get rid of you!}
[Kiddo, I'm like an arm or a leg for you. You can't get rid of me. You're stuck with me. Why don't you just let me take over your body? We both know you won't be able to use it properly. And only I can access the true extent of your powers. If it weren't for that platinum blonde bimbo, I'd be dominant right now, the way it should be!]
"Jake, you okay?" Jamie asked with some concern. "You zoned out for a sec."
"I'm okay, thank you." Jake said. {Draconis, you do realize that there are two telepaths here. And Emma did send me here to observe the Misfits.}
[Relax, you wuss.] Draconis growled. [The bimbo gave us a set of REEEEEEEEEAL good psychic shields. Baldy and his little redhead can't detect a thing. I don't understand why we have to observe these idiots. It's obvious they know nothing of the Hellfire Club.]
{I'm just following orders. Besides, I know what Emma will do if I don't do as she says.}
[Yeah, set me free.] Draconis snickered.
"You zoned out again." Jamie interrupted. "Is something wrong?"
"No thanks, Jamie." Jake said as he watched the mayhem. "Man, the girls really adore Starchild." Jamie smiled.
"Yeah, they do." Jamie grinned. "I'm a manager. Paul is one of my clients. Alongside Lance, Craig, and John, they are the Superstars, the world's first all-mutant rock band. I manage all kinds of people: singers, actors, models, I've even branched into pro wrestling. If your dad ever needs a manager, give him this." Jamie handed Jake a business card.
[This kid's a delusional idiot! When I get out of here, he dies first!] Draconis growled.
{Why?! What's he done to you?!?!} Jake snapped.
[His presence offends me. I can't even stand you]
{You're as bad as Fox.}
[Yet you and he are still buddies] Draconis snickered.
{Shut up.} Jake growled. "Thanks James, I'll let him know."
"Call me when you start. I see future champ in you, considering in your case, it's in the blood." Jamie grinned as he walked away. Todd hopped up to Jake.
"Hey yo. You okay? You zone out quite a bit."
"Yeah, I just tend to get distracted easily."
[Yeah, you never could focus.] Draconis mocked.
{Has Emma found a way to physically gag you? Because I could really use it!}
"See?"
"Yeah, I noticed." Todd laughed. "So how you like being a Misfit?" Jake thought about it.
"It's alright, but there's something I don't understand."
"What?" Todd scratched his head.
"Well, why do you guys and the X-Men constantly fight? I mean, Lance and Peter is understandable, but the rest of you. Scott and Lance hate each other, Scott hates Paul, Craig has a problem with everybody. And that's just the obvious feuds! I mean, we all are on the same side, right?" Todd laughed.
"I know what you're getting' at, yo." Todd laughed. "There's a lot of feuding here. There's a lot of bad blood between the Misfits and the X-Men. You'll get an enemy soon. You're just the new guy here, so you wouldn't understand."
"I think it's stupid." Jake shook his head.
[I think it's great.] Draconis laughed [Nothing like a feud to start your day. I love it when people hate each other.]
{Shut up, Draconis} Jake mentally said. "It's a waste of time. I'm doing something right now. If any of you wish to tear each other apart, that's fine. I'm staying out of it." Jake walked away.
[If I were you, I'd start bashing heads.] Draconis snarled. [You could never get the heart to destroy anyone that stood in your way.]
{At least I have a heart} Jake said. He watched the fighting and insanity.
"PIETRO, GIVE ME BACK MY DIARY!!!!"
"WHY IS THE BLIND MASTER DRIVING A LAWNMOWER INSIDE?!?!"
"WANDA, DON'T FIRE THAT ARROW!!! OWWWWW!!!!"
"WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!"
"JOHN, NO!!! DON'T BURN THAT!!!"
"ALTHEA, UNTIE JEAN'S HAIR FROM THE RADIATOR!!! NO, NOT WITH THE SCISSORS!!!"
"SAM, QUIT FLYING EVERYWHERE!!!"
"PAUL, STAY AWAY FROM CHERE!!! OWWWWW!!!!!!"
"DORK!!"
"NERD!!!"
"CATFIGHT!!!" Jake sighed as he watched everyone drive each other nuts.
"I feel like Emma dropped me into the middle of a madhouse."
[It's already bad enough I'm stuck with you!] Draconis growled.
{You think I enjoy being stuck with you?} Jake groaned. {You're bitter, vengeful, an egomaniac, and an all-around jerk.}
[And you are a big baby. You're a coward who's afraid to fight. You want to follow in your father's footsteps, yet you always try to avoid throwing a punch! If you want something in life, you have to grab for it, and ruthlessly crush anyone and anything that stands in your way. Friends, family, love. They are all merely obstacles.] Unbeknownst to anyone, Wildstar was still watching.
{Poor Jake.} Wildstar thought. He was very careful to keep his mental shields up. {I know the guy's still at Emma's mercy thanks to his mind. I wonder why Emma recruited Jake. Does it have to do with his powers? He's a fantastic flyer, and his fire breath is nothing to sneeze at. But Xavier or GI Joe could've picked him up, then. No, GI Joe never actively recruited. Man, this is so confusing. I hope Fury gives me plenty of chocolate bars for this. Not to mention money, too.} He looked down at his costume. It was a blue bodysuit with long black sleeves. It had white shoulder pads covered in fake white fur, with small silver spikes poking out. The shoulder pads had a pair of silver chains crossing his chest like a bandolier, attaching to a white studded belt, and a blue cape that reached down to his tailbone. The cape had a white 8-pointed star on it, like the star on his face. His forearms were decorated by long blue studded forearm bands, and he wore blue fingerless gloves. His boots were white, decorated with black-and-blue fringe. {Well, at least I got this awesome costume to make up for it. I tell ya, I'm glad Fury let me design it, even though he thought I looked like a punk rocker in it.}
Man, the insanity never ends! While everyone else is battling, Jake is suffering his own internal conflicts! What is going on in his mind? Will he turn on Emma Frost? And who or what is Draconis? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!!
