Christmas Chaos!

To RogueFanKC: Sounds like some good suggestions! I'll try to include 'em!

To Wizard1: I knew Sunfire (Toshiro Yashida), Mariko, and Silver Samurai were related, but I had no clue how. (Misfits: You mean, when we fought the Silver Samurai, we were actually facing Jinx's HALF-BROTHER?!?!?!) As for now, emphasis on for now, Dazzler, Sunfire, Thunderbird, and Thunderbolt are only mentioned. I might bring them in down the line sometime. As for the lack of knowledge on Jake's part, there probably has been some miscommunication or lack of communication between Jake and his family since Red Dragon expelled Draconis from his mind.

To Aaron: Kyle was only mentioned for now, as I said for Wizard1. I would not be surprised if the Avengers decided to show up for the party.

To Red Witch: Oh there will be mistletoe problems!

To Sparky Genocide: I'd love to hear any ideas you have for future Misfits. Your Kelly and Duncan torture sounds like a great idea for a winter horror story. Nah, I couldn't do THAT to Spider-Man. I don't have the heart. Spidey Rules! Besides, in the Misfit-verse, MJ's a college student. She'd be a little old for Paul.

Chapter 3: Heroes, meet the Mimic!

"I do not blame Mr. McCoy for going Scottish on us." Moira sighed. "My girls alone drive me nuts. I admire you Charles, able to handle all these crazy kids." She looked at the bunch, engaging in typical insanity. "Not to mention the Misfits."

"They really are good kids." A Joe in a bush hat, safari outfit, and moustache approached the scientist. "Hi, they call me Recondo."

"Recondo is one of the Joe caretakers." Xavier explained. "He's the guardian of the Starr Brothers."

"Those two are complete opposites. Paul, the one with the purple star and 80s clothing, is a charming, flamboyant former rich kid. Craig, the one with the black star, grew up in an abusive home in the ghetto of LA. Paul lived a life of celebrities and champagne, while Craig grew up in street gangs." Recondo smiled. "They are a couple of good guys, even though Paul tends to flirt a lot and Craig's hot-tempered."

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU, PIETRO!!!!" Craig's roar was heard.

"AHHHHH!!!!" Scott Summers was sent flying. He got slammed into the table that Recondo, Moira, and Xavier were sitting at, causing it to break into pieces. "OWWWWW!!!!!!"

"Not another table!" Xavier groaned. A familiar voice hooted.

"KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID ROCK 'N' ROLL RAZOR IS IN! THE! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUSE!!!!!! WHOOOOOO!!!!!!"

"Aw no. Kid Razor." Xavier sighed. The Kid of Rock and Roll noticed the broken table and broken Cyclops. He put down his glasses and stared at Moira in a confused manner.

"Have we shagged somewhere before?" Razor smirked at Moira, making the scientist glare at the super-powered rocker.

"That's Kid Razor. He's one of the Avengers." Xavier groaned.

"I've heard of the Avengers." Moira pointed at Razor with her thumb. "I heard he was the team's resident loudmouth."

"He certainly is." Xavier agreed.

"HEY!!" Razor snapped.

"I think my butt is broken..." Scott moaned. "I can't feel my fingers."

"Anyway, Cap wanted me and the other guys to spend Christmas with ya." Razor replied. "As usual, madness broke out."

"JENNIFER, GET RID OF THAT MISTLETOE AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!" Jake screamed as he ran by. The She-Hulk was chasing him. The green-skinned girl was dressed up as Mrs. Claus, and she carried some mistletoe.

"C'mon, Jakey! Just one Christmas kiss..." Jenny cooed. Logan hopped by, trying to shake Tigra off his leg.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, NELSON!!!! I AM NOT A PUPPY!!!" Hawkeye and Jamie watched.

"Didn't Greer get this amulet thing that allowed her to become human again?" Jamie asked Clint. The purple-clad archer shrugged.

"Yeah." Clint remembered. "She did. But her brain is full of air and Japanese animation. She thinks she's an anime character at times. She loves being a cat-girl so much, she's never used the darn thing. She and Jenny refuse to wear image inducers."

"Well, You gotta give 'em credit." Jamie shrugged with a laugh. "They don't let the fact they look different stop them." Dani passed by with a sigh.

"Have you seen Starchild? I've been trying to get him under the mistletoe for a week, but he keeps getting away!" She pouted. Ace overheard and laughed.

"You think that's crazy?" Ace grinned. "I got another letter from Monet. Get a load of this!" Clint read the letter and nearly fainted.

"Is that legal in this state?" Clint asked, pointing to a line. Jamie looked and his eyes widened.

"I don't think that's legal in this entire COUNTRY!" Jamie responded.

"She's a wild little minx, isn't she?" Hawkeye laughed. Dani looked at the letter.

"That Monet person is badly in need of professional help." She shook her head. Kurt teleported next to Jamie.

"You guys! Check zis out! In ze Danger Room!" The blue elf-like mutant teleported Ace, Jamie, Clint, and Dani to the control room of the Danger Room. The holographic generators turned the Danger Room into the set of the improv show "Whose line is it Anyway?", complete with cheering audience and a holographic laughing Drew Carey at the desk. Standing in front of the chairs on the stage were a singing and drinking Tony, Hank, and Sean, all completely plastered, as evidenced by the huge pile of Guinness cans behind the chairs on stage. With them was a holographic Wayne Brady. "Sean introduced zem to Irish beer. Now zey're singing and dancing up and down the stage." The three heroes and hologram started playing the improv game called "Irish Drinking Song". You have to understand, these were three drunken guys and a hologram:

All: Awwwwww, lie de die de die de die de die de die de die! Awww, lie de die de die de die de die de die de die!

Tony: IIIIIIIIIIII met this chick named Heather

Hank: Her brain was as big as a feather!

Sean: It was at a salty bar!

Wayne: It was on the sea afar!

Tony: I asked her, hey baby what's yer name?

Sean: She said she was Heather and that I was lame!

All: Awwwwww, lie de die de die de die de die de die de die! Awww, lie de die de die de die de die de die de die!

(Xavier Institute front gate)

A black van pulled up in front of the Institute's front gates. It dropped off a big orange crate with red wrapping and a bow on it. Once it gently dropped off the crate, it sped off.

"Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo!" Virus laughed insanely behind the wheel. "That Mimic thing is gonna whoop Toad once and for all! Finally, I'll get my prize! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

"PAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh shut up, Leathersuit!" Virus snapped.

(Outskirts of Bayville)

Dr. Ronald Rankin watched the town from a high cliff. He had a helmet on his head and he was riding a motorized scooter. He held a palm pilot-like device in his hand. The screen showed a map of Bayville and a blinking red "M". The "M" was in front of the Xavier Institute.

"So there's Mimic." Dr. Rankin said to himself. "I hope I can get to it in time. If Mimic copies all those powers at once, it could become unstoppable!"

(Front Lawn, Xavier Institute)

"What is it?" The X-Men, Misfits, and Avengers gathered around the package. X23, Ace, and Logan inspected it.

"I don't smell anything like a weapon." X23 concluded.

"Me neither." Ace agreed.

"It seems harmless." Logan continued staring at the package, a look of suspicion still on his face.

"I do not sense anything." Xavier said.

"Hey, a tag!" Ace notice a tag on the package. He proceeded to read it. "Merry Christmas. That's all it says."

"If it was from Senator Kelly, it'd have an H-Bomb in it." Tabby quipped.

"'Ello, Girls!" A familiar English-accented voice came from the package.

"Virus!" The Misfits exclaimed.

"I'd like to introduce you to a little friend I...obtained from a colleague on a loan." Virus snickered. "Everyone, meet the Mimic!" The box exploded, revealing the Mimic. The half-organic, half-machine lifeform looked human. It appeared to be wearing an orange full-body costume that covered its hands, feet, head, and face. It did have medium-length brown hair sticking out from its head, and a pair of white eyes. The "costume" was completed with a pair of red trunks and a big red "M" on the chest.

"I got a baaaaaaaaaaad feeling about this. With a name like Mimic, you know it can't be any good!"

Uh oh! The gang has met the Mimic! What'll happen next?! What'll Dr. Rankin do? Whose powers will Mimic imitate? Can Mimic be stopped? Find out in the next chapter!! Suggestions needed badly!!
