Rising Starrs!

To Red Witch: I'm glad you liked the last chapter, Red! Too bad you can't submit anything more for a while! I can't wait for more insanity from "This Soap Opera Called Life"! We can't wait! I hope you like this new chapter, Red. Keep on reading!

To Sparky Genocide: I'm glad you liked the last chapter, Sparky Genocide. I've been thinking about doing a Starr-meeting-the-Misfits fic for some time. How will Craig react to seeing Wanda in a swimsuit? Well, we'll see, won't we? I hope you enjoy this new chapter, man!

To soulstress: Yeah, I got 50 stories on this site! I couldn't believe it myself. Thank you for the virtual cookie. I enjoyed it. The best part was, it wasn't baked by Kitty, heh heh. Well, Recondo was tired. He was forced to carry Lady Jaye and Cover Girl's shopping. He just wanted to rest and finish building his sand castle. I'm sure he liked seeing Lady Jaye and Cover Girl in swimsuits, only Lady Jaye is a married Joe in the Misfit-verse (She's married to Flint). I'll tell Fred he should get one of everything. I think he'll end up deciding to do that anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Yeah, the poor Joes never get a break. No matter how hard they try. Oh yeah, I red the new chapter of 'Tempest' and loved it! I also reviewed it, so please don't let Betsy steal my underwear. I don't want Betsy to swipe my underwear. I NEED IT!! I hope you like this new chapter, soulstress!

To Aaron: Yes, this technically is the first Starr story, and it's the point where it branches off from Red Witch's Misfit-verse and my own Misfit-verse. This story marks the first meeting between Craig Starr and Wanda Maximoff. No, we won't see any girls going crazy for Paul in this story, I'm afraid. Anyway, I hope you like this new chapter full of insanity!

To RogueFanKC: Yep, RogueFanKC! You are looking at the story of the Starr brothers joined the Misfits, soon to be referred to as the East Coast Misfit team. Give Fred a break. He can be a little slow at times, but he'll get it. He'll get the ice cream. Anyway, I'm glad you liked the last chapter and I hope you like this new one!

To Raliena: Well, I was planning to do something very special for my fiftieth fic. And I thought it would be appropriate to do a fic of how the Starr Brothers first joined the Misfits. I'm glad you waited, and I hope I don't disappoint you. Anyway, enjoy the new chapter!

Chapter 2: Meet the Misfits!

The beach, in Los Angeles

"WANDA!!!!" Pietro screamed. His twin sister Wanda had just used her hexing abilities to create a tidal wave to knock Pietro back on the beach. Wanda laughed, then splashed her brother. "Wanda, trying to drown me is not fun!"

"Yeah it is!" Wanda laughed as she came out of the water.

"I love the beach." Todd grinned. He, Althea, and an invisible Xi were burying a snoozing Lance in the sand, leaving his head above the ground.

"Lance is going to be angry when he awakens." Xi said. "Where is Fred?"

"Freddy's still deciding which flavor of ice cream to buy. Strange that Trinity has not decided to join us, yo." Todd added. A flash of light was seen in the distance.

"Oh, I think they've arrived." Althea said in a deadpan voice.

"AUGH!!!" A bunch of muscle-bound men screamed as they ran by. "KEEP THOSE PSYCHOS AWAY FROM US!!" They were being chased by a giggling Trinity, floating after them.

"Oh dear God." Althea moaned, putting her face in her hands and shaking her head in an embarrassed manner.

"It could be worse, Althea. You could've had a relative that was in Gigli." Fred grinned as he walked up to the Misfits. He was holding a bowl that contained scoops of all flavors of ice cream.

"Point." Althea agreed.

"Zzzzzzzzzzz…" Lance snoozed. He started to mumble.

"He's about to wake." Todd said, and the four mutants backed up a bit. Lance mumbled and opened his eyes a bit, then mumbled some more, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.

"Zzzzzzzzz…hee hee…Kitty…" Lance mumbled in his sleep.

"Man, that guy needs to get himself a new girlfriend." Todd grumbled. He noticed Pietro trying to pose like a muscle-man for a bunch of beach bunnies. "Oh brother…" He mumbled under his breath. "Hey Arnold! Get over here before you hurt yourself!"

"Sorry Todd, I'm too busy being gorgeous!" Pietro grinned back.

"I'm telling you, that guy is the biggest…" Althea started.

"Kids, we got a problem." Cover Girl, Recondo, and Lady Jaye walked up to Todd and Althea. "Gather the others."

"And unbury Lance and wake him up." Lady Jaye added.

A couple minutes later

"Misfits, these are the Starr Brothers." Recondo introduced the twin brothers to the Misfits.

"Hello. I'm Paul and the surly guy next to me is my brother Craig." Paul smiled.

"Oh dear God no! Bad 80s flashback! AAAAAAGH!!!!" Pietro sped away in horror at the sight of Paul's 1980's-style clothes, using his superhuman speed.

"Pietro, get back here!" Lance snapped.

"What is that moron's problem?" Craig grumbled.

"They ran into us while running from Cobra Vipers." Lady Jaye said. While she explained what happened, Paul happened to notice Craig was staring at Wanda, almost like the Scarlet Witch had him under a spell of some kind. He snickered.

You like that girl in red. Paul teased good-naturedly, using the telepathic link the brothers' minds had. Craig shot Paul the mental equivalent of a scowl.

No I don't! She just…looks unusual, that's all. Craig mentally replied.

Craig, this is LA. We've seen people who've looked wilder than her. She doesn't really look unusual compared to other people in this town. You aren't fooling me. Paul said back. I think it's tubular you finally found a girl you like. Ahh, amore…

OH SHUT UP!!! Craig cut off the link.

"I'm Althea Delgado, the Misfits' leader. They call me Wavedancer." Althea smiled. "And this hunk of man is my Toddles!" She hugged him like a plush toy with a grin.

"AL!!!" Todd whined, struggling and getting out of her grip. "That's my girl, yo."

It's all pity. She feels sorry for that pathetic frog-boy. Craig grumbled.

Craig, be nice. Paul scolded.

"I'm Todd Tolensky, yo. They call me Toad." Todd grinned.

"Lance Alvers, aka Avalanche. Althea and I are the only sane ones around here." Lance chuckled.

"HEY!"

"Fred Dukes. They call me the Blob." Fred grinned.

"I'm Wanda Maximoff. They call me the Scarlet Witch." Wanda introduced herself simply. "The hyperactive little speedy egomaniacal idiot running around screaming about fashion is my twin brother Pietro, aka Quicksilver."

"Oh wow. It's nice to meet another pair of twins." Paul grinned. "Totally stellar! Awesome to the max!"

Oh God, there he goes again with the 80s speak. Craig grumbled.

Well, looks like Paul and Craig have made new friends! What is Cobra up to? Can they be stopped? Will the Misfits get new members? Find out in the next chapter! Suggestions needed badly!
