Since it's a special occasion, I decided to do something special, something big, something mega, so my 50th fic is set way back, in fact, this fic describes how the Starr Brothers, the heroes codenamed Starchild and Darkstar, first met and joined the Misfits! So, I hope you enjoy this fic!

Disclaimer: I own the Starr Brothers. Red Witch owns Althea Delgado, Xi, Trinity, and everyone else is owned by Marvel Comics and Sunbow Entertainment. If you want to sue me, I will sic Darkstar on you. You don't want Darkstar after you. He beats people up and he enjoys it. So you have been warned.

Chapter 1: Two New Faces!

A beach in Los Angeles, California

"What a life." Althea Delgado smiled as she laid back on the beach towel, clad in a blue two-piece swimsuit. The Misfits were vacationing in Los Angeles, California. "Toddles, I need lotion on my back!"

"Coming, my Sweetheart of the Sea!" Todd Tolensky hopped up to her, and started rubbing lotion on his beloved girlfriend's back.

"I swear Toad, your pet names for her are getting sappier all the time." Wanda Maximoff grumbled. She was lying on another towel, clad in a red one-piece swimsuit.

"You're just jealous because you have nobody to give you a pet name, Wanda." Todd grinned, sticking his tongue out. Wanda rolled her eyes. She noticed Lance writing another love poem about Kitty. The Triplets were helping Claudius and Barney build a sand metropolis. Fred was deciding what ice cream flavor to buy, driving all the people behind him crazy. Xi was nowhere to be found, obviously invisible or gone somewhere. Pietro was posing for some girls, ranting about how good he looked and how he won Mr. Teen Universe. (A/N: Obviously another one of Pietro's dumb stories.)

"One day, my brother is going to get his butt kicked." Wanda sighed. She looked at Todd and Althea. She couldn't help but remember when Todd used to flirt with her all the time in the Brotherhood House. Wanda chuckled. You take good care of him, Althea. He can be an idiot at times, but he's a good and dependable idiot. "Hey, Recondo."

An alley in Los Angeles

"NEVER!!!!" A voice roared. A couple Cobra Vipers got themselves slammed into a brick wall hard. A teenage boy with long black hair, clad in a black leather jacket, a Metallica t-shirt, and torn blue jeans, roared and hit another Viper hard in the gut with an LAPD-issue nightstick, obviously stolen, and threw him into another wall. His right eye flashed dark purple. The eye was also surrounded by an unusual mark: A black 5-pointed star. "C'mon, Paul! These clowns won't quit!" He called in a voice that was slightly gruff and guttural.

"Hang on, Craig!" A more cheerful-sounding voice replied. It came from another boy who looked exactly like the first, only the star on his face was purple. He was clad like an 80's rocker: Purple acid-washed jeans, a black Kiss t-shirt with a torn-up purple mesh shirt that went off one shoulder, white fingerless gloves with fringe, and several bracelets on each wrist, some studded, and some wildly-colored and patterned. This boy dealt with a Viper by ducking the Viper's blow and tripping him, making him fall into a trash can. "Got 'im!"

"Let's go!" Craig ordered. The two twin boys raced out of the alley. "Man, those Cobra clowns are psychos!"

"There's got to be someone who can help us!" Paul exclaimed.

"Yeah, who? The cops? Dream on, Paul! The cops in this town only care about a problem if it affects rich white people! You should know, you were one!" Craig growled.

"I don't think the cops could handle this anyway." Paul gulped. "I wish we could've helped the others."

"They can help themselves!" Craig snapped. "Besides, they needed someone to get away and warn somebody!"

The beach

"Fred, pick already! I want ice cream here!" Pietro snapped.

"But all those flavors are so good, Pietro!" Fred sighed.

"Kid, if you can't decide, then get out of the line so everyone else can order!" The man in the ice cream shop snapped. Meanwhile, a Joe named Recondo, a mustachioed man from Wisconsin who was the Joes' Jungle Warfare expert, was not having a lot of fun at the moment. He was forced to help two other Joes, codenamed Lady Jaye and Cover Girl shopping. And they decided to try out swimsuits in a swim shop.

"Lady Jaye! Cover Girl! C'mon!" Recondo sighed. "Are you two done trying on bathing suits yet?! Just pick one and let's go!"

"You are so impatient, Recondo. Picking the right bathing suit takes time." Lady Jaye laughed from in a dressing room.

"Besides, the kids'll be fine for a few minutes." Cover Girl agreed from another dressing room. "I'm ready." Cover Girl came out, clad in a tiger-print swimsuit, and she struck a pose, like back in her modeling days. Recondo clapped sarcastically.

"Someone call Paris and Milan, Cover Girl is ready to make a comeback." Recondo drawled.

"Very funny, Recondo." Lady Jaye smirked, coming out in a black bikini. Recondo smiled.

"Look girls, I just want to go back to the beach and finish my sand castle." The Jungle Warfare expert replied. A couple minutes later, the three Joes left the shop. Suddenly, the two twin brothers, Paul and Craig, collided into them, causing them all to fall over.

"Watch your step!" Craig snapped. "You idiots aren't the only people using the sidewalk!"

"Kid, you just came out of nowhere!" Lady Jaye exclaimed.

"You are lucky I vowed to never raise my hand to a woman." Craig snarled, pointing at Lady Jaye.

"Sorry about that." Paul smiled. "We're looking for some help! There are these guys chasing after us. They called themselves Cobra Vipers or something like that."

"COBRA VIPERS?!" The three Joes exclaimed.

"Oh great, now I'll never get to finish my sand castle!" Recondo groaned.

"I think our vacation just got cancelled." Lady Jaye sighed.

"I'll get the kids." Cover Girl said. "When you're a Joe, you're never off duty." She added under her breath. Paul overheard it.

"Joe?? Are you guys GI Joes?" Paul blinked.

"Yeah." Recondo blinked.

"You Joes are quite well-known among mutants in the streets." Craig grumbled. "Some hope to join your little Misfits group."

Well, looks like the Joes met two new friends! What will happen next? Who are Paul and Craig? Why is Cobra after them? What powers do they have? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
