AN: AH! I just found out my fried (the guy who made DM) is a fan of GI JOE SIGMA 6. I need to locate old episodes to change his mind, so if you know of any especially good ones please let me know. Also Splinter's introduction is taken almost word for word from the first movie, so whoever wrote that; you're freakin' genius.
Ties that bind
The following afternoon, which was ironically a Saturday, was an interesting one as the entire house hold slept in. The Misfits didn't even bother to raid the kitchen or dining room that Perfection had so delicately prepared, and it looked like his food was going to go to waste.
"No, it's not I cam prepared." Perfection ignored previous warnings to stop talking to the narrator. "Okay, sorry to correct your small error."
Thankfully for the culinary-obsessed Scion the turtles choose only a few moments earlier to wake up and they were headed towards the sweet smells in the dining room. While upstairs Xavier mentally woke up each student and prepared them to see the new guests.
"Student's please be aware that another Chaos Spark has occurred and we are currently housing a new group. Their appearance can be a bit of a shock at first, but please give them a chance." Then he added, "And would whoever let that dragon into my shoe closet please meet me by the Velocity later today."
Seconds later the entire house was managing there way downstairs to the dining room where Perfection had rows of pancakes, coffee cakes, cheese cakes and just about every breakfast cake imaginable piled right down the middle.
"Looks lahke someone had some free tahme." Rogue said through her winced eyes.
"AH, GHOST!" Mikey screamed as he dove behind Donatello.
"No, she's a Goth you dim-bulb." Raphael rolled his eyes at his slightly younger brother.
Rogue just looked at the two before heading into the kitchen and mumbling about it being two early for "Misfit pranks." Jamie however was wide awake with awe as he stared on in complete wonder.
"Wow, talking turtles." Jamie smiled.
"And we're ninjas." Donatello pointed out.
"Wow." Then a bright light appeared and right after it faded so did the Misfits, minus Trinity and the babies. "Can you teach me to keep three insane girls away from me?"
"Why, you got problems with the babes at the beach?" Mikey laughed,
"No, my sisters." Althea smiled lightly. "They're insane."
"Oh they can't be that bad." Donatello laughed, but everyone including Perfection simply shook their heads. "Ok, I guess maybe they are."
"They're certified." DM said as he appeared. "So, time for introductions?"
"Sure, why not." Pietro said as he sat in a chair.
Soon Xavier's entire faculty and student body joined the group in the dining room and it quickly became apparent that it was a little cramped. Even Wraith and Karma who were oddly placid as they sat next to each other were struggling to get some room.
"Ok, Misfits go first!" Todd shouted.
"Why you guys?" Bobby argued.
"'M' comes before 'X'." Todd blew a raspberry, to which Bobby was about to respond with an ice ball.
"It's alright Bobby, let the Misfits introduce themselves, and then we can do the same." Xavier said and Bobby backed down.
"Right, Well I'm Althea and I lead the Misfits. The GI JOEs are our family and we all enjoy it and this seems oddly familiar…" Althea thought for a second. "It's the tour groups all over again!"
The Misfits went on introducing themselves and were not interrupted save for the five minutes it took to find Wanda who had mysteriously disappeared with Perfection. Then it was the X-Men's turn and Xavier let Scott go first.
"I'm Scott Summers and I am one of the leaders of the X-Men. I also run most of the regular training exercises with the New Mutants and I enjoy the work I do."
"Sounds like another Leo if you ask me." Raphael whispered to Mikey who just chuckled in agreement.
The X-Men then went about introducing themselves to the turtles, and it seemed they too went uninterrupted except for the brief argument that broke out between Forge and Hank about who was the resident handyman; Ash responded by showing his paycheck which only led to Hank becoming slightly jealous of the hero.
"And now the turns fall to us." Splinter gazed across the group and noticed that Wraith and Karma were silently slipping out of the room; he also noticed a very stealthy Perfection following close behind and couldn't help but give a smile. "I am called 'Splinter'; I was not always like this. I was once a normal rat, a highly intelligent rat, but a normal rat nonetheless. My master Hammato Yoshi found me when he came to America with his bride from Japan; they were fleeing the dangerous Ninja Foot Clan to which my master once belonged. He kept me in a good sized cage and from there I learned his art by mimicking every move he practiced and ina few short years I had mastered the arts as well." Splinter gave a deep sigh, "Then one day my master returned from work to find his beloved slain, and her killer standing above her. Before my master could act though the killer claimed his life as well, but their struggle knocked me from my cage and I flung myself up the murderer's face and scarred him, but he took a piece of my ear with his katana as retribution. I was alone in the world, then one day as I scavenged the sewers I cam across four small turtles wallowing in a strange glowing ooze, I gathered them together and kept them safe. The next day I found they had doubled in size as had I, and over weeks they grew in intellect and body and soon spoke. I then gave them names…" Splinter then looked to Leonardo, in his blue bandana to continue.
"I am Leonardo; I study under my master and father to learn the ways of the ninja. I train with katanas and carry the unofficial title of leader." Leonardo bowed to Donatello. "I shall let my brothers tell of themselves."
Donatello stood up and looked around nervously. "Well, I'm Donatello and I'm a bit of a techno geek, of course I also take my training seriously and I study the use of the bo. I find it lends itself to just about every situation imaginable."
Next Raphael stood up. "I'm Raphael, I use my sai and I don't like being told what to do." He shot a glare at Leonardo, "You can call me Raph though and they're 'Don' and 'Leo'."
"Well, I guess that leaves me." Mikey stood up. "I'm Michelangelo, but you can call me Mikey. I like the nunchucks, long walks on the beach, pizza and ramen!" Michelangelo held up a bowl of ramen to make his point, but he was pulled back to his seat when Raph yanked on the back of his bandana.
"We hope that in this world we may become good friends with you as we had with those in our world." Splinter bowed before the Misfits and X-Men. "And we thank you for your hospitality."
Meanwhile on the other side of town, Karma and Wraith had assumed their own human identities. They also chose one of the more upscale restaurants to eat at, but to them they were still not ready to have the relationship they once had. Tonight was simply about trying to find the flame once more. They never even noticed their waiter's luminescent green eyes or his strangely perpetual smile. A tense and silent twenty minutes passed before either spoke up.
"Well, this looks like a nice place for lunch." Karma smiled nervously.
"It is, a bit to fancy for me, but you always had richer tastes." Wraith said calmly.
"And look what those tastes got me." Karma looked down in shame. "That's not me anymore."
"Oh?" Wraith rested his arm on his hand.
"I really have changed. I mean at first I was angry, then depressed and then I blamed you." She looked at Wraith square in the eyes. "Then I realized I let the powers that we had go to my head."
"Now that's bull, you are the single most caring person I have ever met and that includes Angela." Wraith defended her from herself.
"It's true though, I didn't care why you got me that ring or even why. I just wanted a bigger diamond." Karma sighed as their waiter brought their food. "Thank you." The waiter simply nodded as he handed out the food.
"We all have times when we need to think of ourselves." Wraith said.
"And that wasn't the time." Karma went on, "I had a great guy sitting in front of me, willing to go against his own beliefs, just to let everyone know we were together and I blew it off because the heiress six rows down had a bigger ring."
"You mean the cocky bitch that was making the workers lives hell?" Wraith asked.
"Yeah, that one." Karma sighed and then noticed Wraith's odd look.
"Well, uh, she kinda died after our argument." Wraith scratched his head.
"Why?" Karma glared at him.
"The cooks spiked her food with bourbon and she drove home because she was appalled they would let 'our kind' in the restaurant." Wraith smiled weakly. "And she kind of rove of a bridge and into a ship…"
"Oh, so that's the lady I balanced out…" Karma smiled innocently. "We better not have an argument here or another rich heiress might bite the big one." She laughed.
"Heh, now that would be a sh…" A strong chord from a cello drew the attention of both Scions as the looked back at the live music stage and to their shock saw Perfection in a bad jazz get up.
"This next song goes out to two crazy love birds I know will find their way back together, no matter what the weather, times or changes. Because face it buddy you gotta, 'Kiss the Girl'…"
The band then started to strum a familiar Caribbean beat that unceasingly begged to be danced to. So Karma and wraith found themselves, with twenty other couples dancing together on the floor around them.
There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl
Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
Possible she wants you too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl
At first Wraith wanted to kill Perfection, he hated dancing and he hated the damn song even more, but then he stopped concerning himself with his anger and concentrated more on Karma as she put her head on his shoulder.
Sha la la la la la
My oh my
Look like the boy too shy
Ain't gonna kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Ain't that sad?
Ain't it a shame?
Too bad, he gonna miss the girl
Now's your moment
Floating in a blue lagoon
Boy you better do it soon
No time will be better
She don't say a word
And she won't say a word
Until you kiss the girl
Karma, at fist, was embarrassed by Perfection's sudden appearance and interest in them. Then she realized that Wraith too was upset, but he didn't his anger stop him from enjoying the dance with her. She couldn't help but let a few tears run down her face.
Sha la la la la la
Don't be scared
You got the mood prepared
Go on and kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Don't stop now
Don't try to hide it how
You want to kiss the girl
Sha la la la la la
Float along
And listen to the song
The song say kiss the girl
Sha la la la la
The music play
Do what the music say
You got to kiss the girl
You've got to kiss the girl
You wanna kiss the girl
You've gotta kiss the girl
Go on and kiss the girl
And they did just that and only the announcer's voice brought them back to reality.
"Well folks looks like our mysterious singer has struck again, now someone find him and hire him!" The announcer joked.
"We're going to have to get him back you know." Wraith smiled.
"I know." Karma smiled back, "But for now let's just have fun for now, okay Maddock?"
"Ok, and don't call me that." Wraith said, he hated the usage of his real name.
"Only if you get me some oysters." Karma laughed.
Up on the roof however, a very happy Perfection was watching the clouds go by when he felt a portal open up near by.
"Why can't I do anything to make you pay?" Alteran had come back to the Misfit-Verse. "What makes you three so much stronger than the rest of us?"
Perfection stood silent for a few seconds before responding. "Do you remember when you tried to teach me how to summon a golem?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" Alteran snapped.
"You tried and tried and tried, I just couldn't learn it. Then you told me to imagine a great big monkey, and that one of DM's panda's was attacking it and I got the spell with in a few minutes. That's your gift in life; you got magic and a knack for teaching it, even to knucklehead like me." Perfection turned to his friend. "We aren't stronger than you Al, we just have different ways and they just seem stronger, and I know it seems like we don't always have enough time for you, but you have to remember something."
"What is that?" Alteran's voice was bitter.
"We have eternity and beyond our friends here have a nano-second by comparison and when they're gone…" Perfection stopped, "Wraith can't let all of them into the Verge, and most have to go where they go. Our interactions between each other, they are great and fun, but we also have to be out here with the ones who can't know what we are; we have to try and make friends with the people we exist to serve, otherwise why are we even making these worlds worth living in?"
Alteran stood silent for a few minutes more before he turned, but before he could leave Perfection spoke again.
"You know the Triplets really liked your lessons, maybe you should stop by more often who knows you might find someone to share your life with."
"Ambrose…" Alteran started, "You are a fool and so much more…" And then he vanished.
Perfection just turned and smiled as he stared at the clouds. "A fool I may be, but lonely I am not."
