Mad Malibu Summer!
To Raliena: Glad you like the chapter! Yeah, sure! You can have pancakes too! Hands Raliena a huge stack of golden fluffy pancakes with syrup and butter.
To Firefly25: Yeah, Bevatron's gonna get it, alright. Maybe you should write those as one-shots! I give you permission to use any of my characters! Actually, I think Jake would just plant Emma into the ground head-first! Those are some great suggestions!
To Red Witch: Yeah, a little Emma torture is always good for a laugh. You should do something like that with Pyro. Here's more madness for you!
To Metal Dragon1: Probably. Do you think Terrell and Tommy could beat them? I think so. I'm glad you liked Firestorm's approach to getting ol' Frosty down. Here's more madness for you! BTW, when's the next chapter of "Take the Long Way Home" coming up? I can't wait! I want to see Shawn's reaction to Slash's new look.
It's Profile Time again! Crowd hoots, hollers, claps, screams, chants, and shouts. Some carry signs This time, we go to the Vault and take another look at a West Coast Misfit who loves to dance, sing, and play, andhe can do all that at the speed of light: Velocity!
Velocity
Real Name: Terrell Andrew Mason
Class: Mutant
Allegiance: Misfits (West Coast Team)
Hair: Black (in cornrows)
Eyes: Black
Birthplace: Compton, California
Powers: Terrell's mutation has adapted his body and his mind to operate at great speeds.
His legs are superhumanly strong for running, the main use of his powers. His brain can also process information at a greater speed than normal, allowing him to move at great speed without having to worry about accidents. His speed also gives him increased reflexes and reaction time.
Terrell can also psionically take control of particles of air and wind, allowing him to create wind-based phenomenon at will, like tornadoes. He can mentally determine the direction and speed that his wind current blow. His powers of speed at wind-control all may allow him to fly short distances.
His top speed is around 220 mph, causing him to have a bit of a friendly rivalry with his East Coast counterpart, Pietro "Quicksilver" Maximoff. The strongest winds he's been known to create can blow at speeds of 170 mph.
Bio: Terrell Mason grew up in the tough streets of Compton, California. His parents were ex-members of the infamous militant group known as the Black Panthers. As a result, Terrell was taught to be proud of his African ancestry, but he was also taught to be accepting of others.
His parents made sure that he stayed out of the gang violence and warfare that so many other kids his age in the area were getting into. He developed an interest in basketball by hanging out in the local basketball courts. He also developed a love for classic rhythm-and-blues and Motown, thanks to his parents playing it all the time. The one he admired most was James Brown, and Terrell often entertains dreams of being the next James Brown.
When he was walking down the street one day, he noticed a gang car bearing down on a little girl. He rushed to save her, activating his mutant power of superhuman speed. Utilizing it, he grabbed her and got her out of the way. The gang members inside fired at Terrell, and his aerokinetic abilities kicked in, creating a gust of wind that shoved the bullets away and safely into a wall.
When his parents heard about this, they realized their son was special, and that he should use his powers to become a positive role model. He made a costume and became the local hero known as Velocity. After he caught a drug pusher at the Starlight Club, Terrell met and befriended future teammate Alison Blaire, who performed as the Dazzler. Through Dazzler, Velocity would end up joining her, Sunfire, Thunderbird, Thunderbolt, and Wildstar in battle the bio-droid known as the Mimic.
After the Mimic was defeated, he became one of the original nine members of the West Coast Misfits. He still serves today, and his best friends on the team are the Boston native Thunderbolt, the Mexican sonic generator Rictor, and the Australian shark-kid known as Chilljaw.

(A beach in Malibu, California)
Ace Starr, Jack McCormick, and Randy Gomez, the West Coast Misfits codenamed Wildstar, Beast King, and Rictor, were walking down the beach. Jack, clad in his hot pink-and-ice blue Hawaiian shirt, matching swim trunks, and Oakleys, looked at the waves.
"Primo…" He grinned. "Dude, these waves scream hang ten!"
"Yeah…" Randy agreed. "Ace, what do you think?" Ace pushed down his blue shades, and smirked.
"Oh yeah…" Ace smirked. "Definitely rockin' waves." Jack patted his surfboard.
"Dudes, let this pro teach you newbies how to surf!" Jack threw off his shirt and hit the waves.
"Yo, I'm going to hit the waves." Randy pointed to a shack where there were surfboards for rent. "Wanna come?" Ace shook his head.
"It takes a minute for me to mentally prepare." Ace replied. "I'm a feral with a cat-like mutation. It takes me a minute to get settled with water." Randy shrugged.
"Okay." Randy ran off. Ace walked alongside the waves and watched Jack surf.
"WHOOO!!!! YEAH, BABY!!!!! HANG TEN, DUDE!!!! COWABUNGA!!!!! YEEE-HAH!!!!" He crowed. Ace smiled.
"That Jack. What a nut." He replied.
"Bonjour, mon amour." A familiar voice said. Ace picked up the whiff of a perfume, and he turned, revealing Marie-Anne Colbert, the French girl known as Tarot, clad in a red bikini.
"Ahhh, Bonjour, madame." Ace replied, bowing. Tarot giggled.
"Ace, you never told me you could speak French."
"There's a lot you don't know about me, Red." Ace grinned. "What brings you here to Malibu?"
"You. And the fact our teacher is missing." Tarot replied.
"Ahh, how is Frosty the Snowgal?" Ace laughed.
"Let's just say she only throws one vase at the wall at the mention of your name now." The French red-head replied. Ace laughed.
"Man, some people just can't learn to forgive and forget!" Ace chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye. "To be perfectly honest Card-girl, I haven't seen hide nor hair of ol' Frosty since Red Dragon tried to spill her blood all over London a while back. Sorry." Ace shrugged. He saw sides of the Hellion girls that no one else did thanks to his feral charms. "What the--?" He noticed two streaks fly towards them from one side, kicking up sand. "Get down!" Ace threw down Tarot as the streaks went by. As they went, one could her cursing in Moroccan and another cursing in English.
"Ooh, Ace. You saved me." Tarot purred. "You are so magnificent as always." She tried to kiss him.
"Not now, Card-girl." Ace helped her up. "That was Velocity and Jetstream!"

(At the Skate Park, some time earlier)
Beef and Jetstream were watching the skating event in a rather bored manner.
"Hey girls!" A familiar voice called. The two Hellions turned around and saw Velocity and Chilljaw. "What are you two monkeys doing here?" Velocity asked.
"Ignore them, Beef. They're just Army trash." Jetstream laughed. Chilljaw shook his head.
"Coming from you rich jerks, we think of it as a compliment, mate." The shark-kid laughed. "What are you up to?"
"If you must know, we're looking for our mentor." Beef grumbled. "She disappeared last night. I think you Misfits are behind it. If not you, then your little buddies in Florida."
"How do you know she didn't go out sleepwalking?" Tommy laughed.
"Because Bevatron found her under a flagpole mumbling about pancakes here in Malibu!" Beef roared. "She thought he put her up there and nearly choked him to death!"
"If ol' Bovine-Tron wasn't such a moron and strung her up there, he wouldn't have gotten his neck wrung!" Terrell smirked, not betraying any sign that he was the one who put her up there alongside his buddies.
"Bevatron was tied up to the roof last night!" Beef roared. "He insulted Ace in front of the girls."
"Yeah, Ace has that effect on women." Tommy chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Jetstream snapped.
"You mean besides your face?" Tommy smirked.
"That's it!" Beef threw a punch at Chilljaw, but the shark-like teenager easily ducked and nailed the big Hellion with a hard punch to the jaw. The two immediately started brawling. Jetstream tried to use his powers to ram Terrell, but the Compton native easily moved out of the way. Jetstream streaked away.
"Come back here, ya jerk!" Terrell raced after the Moroccan mutant, calling upon his great speed.

(The beach, present time)
"Forget them, Ace. Let those two settle their differences. I want some alone time." Tarot smirked, pulling Ace towards a beach house.
"I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW YOU TRY THIS COLBERT!!!!!" The blonde Hellion known as Roulette, clad in a blue swimsuit, leapt out of nowhere and tackled Tarot. A catfight immediately ensued.
"Hey Ace, we heard WHOA DUDE!" Jack and Randy ran up to Ace. They blinked at the catfight.
"Alright, you two!" Ace separated them. He was the only one who could separate a catfight between the female Hellions unscathed.
"You stay away from my sexy feral, you French pastry!" Roulette roared.
"Yours?! Ha! Compared to a low-brow Atlantic City tramp like you, a classy French woman is much more preferable!"
"You're as classy as a cheap trick on Santa Monica Boulevard!"
"At least I am not from a place that's all glitz and no glamour!"
"At least I am not from a country known for surrendering, you coward!"
"THAT'S IT!!!!!!" Both girls roared, shoving Ace to the ground. "LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!!!!!" They started catfighting again.
"Uh girls, I'm okay."
Well, that was one long chapter! What madness will happen next? Will there be more catfights? Will Emma Frost get to a pancake house? Will there be any more WC Misfit/Hellion brawls? Will there be a new enemy on the horizon? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
