While the Misfits and Omega Hellions ventured to New York City on a mission, (See: Chapters 25-26 of "Coming Into Their Own") Trinity and Spyder were left behind. What sort of trouble will the youngest Misfits cause? If I told you now you wouldn't bother to read the story.
"DAYS OF OUR CHILDHOOD"In the secret base of the Omega Hellions, sworn enemies of the Misfits and soldiers of Emma Frost and the Hellfire Club…there was an eight year-old girl who wanted to go swimming.
Naomi walked out of her room in her bathing suit. She peered into the living room to see Phelan and the new girl…what was her name? Oh yes, Lina, asleep on the couch. The others were gone on a mission or something. Naomi really wasn't sure what that was all about. She thought about waking them up to ask to go to the pool, like Amira always made her before she went, but since neither one of them could understand what Naomi would say anyway, she didn't see the point in waking them up.
On her own, Naomi headed straight to the pool and leaped in, transforming into a dolphin as she did so. While she missed her old family—Amira and Vladimir and everyone was her new family—she loved the feel of being a dolphin. Naomi dove towards the bottom of the pool, preparing to leap out of the water in grand style, when it seemed like the whole world shifted around her. Where she had been diving down facing the bottom of the pool, she now found herself heading upwards; she could even see the glimmer of the lights on the surface of the water. Naomi poked her head out of the water and gaped at the sight around her.
She was definitely not where she started out. Naomi was still in a pool, but it was a pool in the middle of some strange new place. She shifted back to normal and climbed out. She goggled when she looked out a window and saw the Earth hanging against the blackness of space.
"Um, Naomi?" She turned around to see the strange gray girl she met at the beach a few months ago—Spyder—and three other strange girls who all looked the same waiting for her. "Here, we brought you a towel." Spyder said as she offered Naomi a blue towel. Naomi nodded thankfully knowing that they wouldn't understand her if she spoke, and wrapped herself up. It was cold.
Naomi looked at the strange triplets with Spyder. She pointed at them questioningly. "We're Trinity. I'm Daria, and this is Quinn and Brittany." One of them said. "It's okay, we're all friends here."
"Come on." Daria said, gesturing forward. Naomi plodded along behind them, still dripping wet and in her bare feet. She looked around this…was it a base? And saw piles of strange equipment and people of all sorts walking around. All of them were kids.
Finally, Trinity and Spyder led her into a room with several other young girls. Naomi paused at the sight of one of them, a girl with one arm that was grossly oversized. Naomi guessed that she was a mutant too. So was the pink girl on the other side of the room, clawing at the walls.
Trinity walked over to a podium on the other side of the room and beckoned for the assembled girls, six in all, not counting Trinity, to sit down. Naomi sat down next to Spyder and another young girl in a pink hat.
"We wanted to thank you all for coming." Trinity said in unison. "But just to make sure we're all known to everyone else, let's go around the room and give our names and powers. We're Trinity; Quinn, Daria, and Brittany Delgado. We can breathe underwater, fly, and have psychic powers. We're members of the Misfits"
Spyder stood up. "I'm called Spyder with a 'y.' I hate my old name so you better not say it." She warned Trinity. "I'm gray, I stick to walls, and I shoot electric webbing. That's why I'm Spyder. I'm a Misfit too."
"Me next!" A young girl with blond pigtails said. "I'm Katie Powers. I'm not a mutant, but an alien horse named Whitey gave me the power to make energy blasts. That's why I'm called Energizer. I'm a member of Power Pack."
The girl in the pink hat next to Naomi stood up next. "I'm Molly Hayes. I wanted to be called Princess Powerful but everyone just calls me Bruiser. My group is a buncha Runaways who left home 'cause our parents were evil."
No one else made any motion to speak; not the girl with the oversized arm nor the pink girl with the claws and wickedly sharp looking hair. Naomi, shaking in nervousness liberally mixed with being chilly—she was still cold and wet—stood up and said:
"I'm Naomi Levy. I don't have a codename though or go on missions with a team. I can turn into a dolphin." She said, which sounded very lame in her own mind. "I guess that's it." Of course, she said the whole thing in Hebrew, which no one else understood.
Daria slapped her head. "Oh yeah, we forgot. Here, put this on." She said as she gave Naomi a watch. Naomi put in on and then asked. "What's this supposed to do?" She said it in Hebrew but everyone heard her in English, including Naomi herself. She blinked. "How'd I do that?" Naomi asked, gaping at the sound of her own voice in English.
"Universal translator." Brittany explained. "One of our older inventions. Knew we'd find a use for it some time."
"Could you repeat what you said before?" Quinn asked Naomi. Naomi, nodding, did so. Then she sat back down.
"Our last two friends here really can't talk, in English or otherwise." Daria admitted. "So we might as well say it for them. This," she said, indicating the girl with the large arm, "is Torpid; she's a Morlock. She can paralyze people by touching them. She also likes Flounder."
"And the pink girl." Brittany chimed in, "is Penny. She's an X-Men, sort of. She has a very dense body, claws that are really sharp and so is her hair."
"You're probably wondering why we brought you all here…" Daria said.
"Yeah, especially since you made everyone think that I was sick with the flu so I couldn't go out on a mission." Spyder said glumly. "I hate missing missions!"
"You're going on a mission all right. All of us are." Quinn said.
"Only it's not for GI Joe." Brittany said. "You see; we have a confession to make."
"We're not just Misfits." Daria explained.
"We're Kids Next Door Operatives." Quinn finished.

A/N: I know that in Red Witch's stories the triplets have aged—novel thing having characters whom actually age—to the point where they're teenagers and thus can't be KND, but here they're still in their pre-teens.
