St. Patrick's Day Madness!
Disclaimer (in case I forgot, which I tend to do. Sorry!): I own no X-Men or GI Joe stuff. They belong to Marvel or Sunbow.
To Red Witch: I'm glad you liked the Kelly torture. I can never run out of ways of torturing Kelly and Duncan. John Proudstar is staying an X-Man? Aw man, but I see some good coming out of it: He's willing to get in the face of the other instructors, giving them more headaches. Do you plan to create a second team of Misfits in the future?
To Wizard1: I have more song suggestions for you (I made them before, but they deserve repeating)! Here they are!
Lance: Bryan Adams' "Run To You" (About Kitty)
Beast (as the Drunken Scotsman): Slade's "Run Runaway"
Blob: "Weird Al" Yankovic's "Eat It" (Isn't it obvious)
Wanda: Gloria Estefan's "Bad Boy" (About Craig)
Iceman: "Just A Gigolo" by David Lee Roth
Kurt: "King of the Night-time World" by Kiss (He can sing it to Amanda)
To Sparky Genocide: Yeah, I thought that would get a few kicks and giggles out of some people! Yeah, I have been thinking about putting tidbits of the personality of Red Witch's version of Thunderbird into my version of the Apache warrior. Thanks for the suggestion, though!
It's Profile Time yet again! *Hears crowd hoot and holler* Okay, now we take a look at another Misfit handler, courtesy of the filecard scans over at YoJoe.com and the Encyclopedia section over at JMM's G.I. Joe Comics Encyclopedia, the master of night sniping, Low Light! (Red Witch, if I screw this up, sorry! Low Light's got one complex history here!)
Low Light
Real Name: Cooper G. MacBride
Affiliation: Army
Rank: Staff Sergeant
Class: Mutate (Dormant X-Gene was artificially activated)
Powers: Low Light can transform his body into any substance, even energy. He rarely uses this talent, as he feels he doesn't deserve it.
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Military Specialty: Marksmanship Instructor
Birthplace: Crosby, North Dakota
Bio: As a child, Low Light was hated by his father for reasons unknown, however he does have a good relationship with his sister Una. He also had a fear of the dark, loud noises, and animals. It all changed during a hunting expedition, when young Low Light got lost in the dark woods. When he was found three weeks later, he had conquered his fears. He suffers nightmares to this day because of childhood trauma.
During some point in his life, Low Light lived as a homeless man, in which he was captured and subjected to experiments in the island of Moreauseau. His dormant X-Gene was activated, gifting him with the ability to transform his body with any substance. He was the only survivor of Moreauseau, and only General Hawk knew of his powers (The Joes were horrified by Moreauseau, and they adopted a policy that allowed mutants to join the GI Joe team, allowing Low-Light, and later Bulldog and Lionheart to join the GI Joe team)
When he joined the Army, Low Light became a self-taught expert on image intensification and worked as a marksmanship instructor in Fort Benning.
He was chosen to be a handler for the first Misfit team, later known as the East Coast Misfits, because he was a fellow mutant, and it would be therapeutic for him.
Normally, Low Light is rather abrasive, but it's a front for the fact that he carries a lot of pain in his heart. He refused to accept his mutantcy for a long time, and he's very reluctant to use his powers.

(X-Mansion)
"WHOHAAAAAAAAAA!!! HELLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!" Remy screamed as he ran down the hall, his trenchcoat on fire. Pyro was chasing him.
"Burn! Burn! I set it on fire! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!" Pyro cackled. Betsy was also in hot pursuit of someone. She was chasing St. John, wielding a chainsaw.
"Come back here, you bloody psychotic nutter and get slashed up like a man!" Betsy screamed, waving the chainsaw like Leatherface on a sugar rush. Ace and Paul raced after her.
"Betsy, CALM DOWN!!!" They screamed. Theresa watched the whole thing, and she shook her head.
Yup, another day, more insanity. Theresa chuckled to herself. She then grimaced when she over heard her father tell a story. Oh God, not that stupid ol' fairytale again. Theresa moaned as she listened to her father. The New Mutants were gathered around Banshee, and the Irishman was telling them an old family tale: How his great-great-great-great-grandfather defeated Lepronicus, the King of Evil Leprechauns. "Da, that story's so embarrassing! Leprechauns are not real!"
"Theresa lass, St. Patrick's Day is coming up!" Sean Cassidy laughed. "These lads and lasses should hear some Irish stories!"
"So, are all leprechauns bad?" Dani asked, raising her hand. Sean laughed.
"No, Mirage." Sean shook his head. "Some leprechauns are bad, and some are good. The good ones generally engage in the harmless type of mischief. The bad ones are malicious little jerks."
"Don't mind me dad." Siryn reassured the New Mutants. "He loves that dumb story. I don't like that story. It sounds like a cheesy fantasy novel."
"Terry, this is an old Cassidy family tale! It's been passed down throughout the family!" Sean yelped.
"A tale that tall? I sincerely doubt that." Theresa crossed her arms, her face forming an expression of amusement.
"Oh come on Theresa, I love that story! Cut your ol' man some slack, please?" Sean begged.
"Fine, fine." Theresa nodded. She walked outside when she heard her watch ring.
{Sunfire to Siryn, Come in. You are not going to believe this.} She raised a blond eyebrow as she turned it on. "Siryn here. Come in."
{Sunfire here, Siryn. You are really not going to believe this. Thunderbird and I are in downtown Bayville. We have what appears to be a leprechaun causing a major disturbance. Thunderbird and I are going in to investigate.}
"No, wait! Sunfire, don't-!" Theresa replied, but Sunfire cut his end of the line off. She cursed through gritted teeth. "Those two are going to get killed!"

(Downtown Bayville)
"Let's go!" John Proudstar yelled. Toshiro nodded. They pressed a button on their watches, and in a flash of light, their clothes transformed into their Thunderbird and Sunfire costumes. John unsheathed his belt-holstered Trinity-modified hatchet.
"BANZAI!!!" Toshiro yelled as he took to the air. John leapt down to the ground and raced after him, using his speed and endurance. The Evil Leprechaun noticed the two.
"Ahh, you boyos wish to engage me, huh? Well, let's see how you like this!" The cackling mystical leprechaun fired a magical blast from his hand.
"Proudstar, look out!" Toshiro warned.
"Yipe!" Thunderbird dodged the blast. "Nice try, leprechaun! Try this!" He pitched his hatchet, but the leprechaun dodged it, and the hatchet imbedded itself into the front door of a car with a THUD.
"Allow me to try!" Toshi fired flames at the leprechaun, but he dodged it with seemingly unnatural agility. "What is he?! Some kind of mutant?!"
"Awfully weird one." John noted.
"Ah, I see neither of you boyos carry the blood of Eire in your veins." The Evil Leprechaun laughed.
"Eire?" John asked. "Toshi, where's Eire?"
"Wait…" Toshi put his finger to his chin. "Eire…that's an ancient name for Ireland, I believe!"
"So he's Irish." John deduced.
"If you boyos would be so kind as to tell me where the Cassidys I sensed are located? I may let you live if you tell me." The Evil Leprechaun grinned madly.
"What do you want with Banshee and Siryn?" Toshi yelled.
"Banshee and Siryn? Unusual names." The Evil Leprechaun laughed. "Ah well, I will get my vengeance on them! Their ancestors trapped me in that stupid slab for centuries! I will make them pay!"
"Well, I guess we'll have to entrap you again." Thunderbird smirked, holding up a car.
Well, things are starting to heat up! What madness will happen next? Can Thunderbird and Sunfire defeat the Evil Leprechaun, or will they need help? Will Siryn give her father a break with the story business? Will the Evil Leprechaun get his revenge on the Cassidy family? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
