He heard sounds. Beeps and clicks, whirs and churns.
"He's awake yo!" A voice called.
"Ohh…" He groaned. "Where am I?"
"Hey, you okay Gecko?" Lance asked. "We found you in rural New York…"
"MOM! DAD!" Gecko shot up in fear.
"WHOA!" Todd said as he grabbed Gecko's shoulder.
"Mom!" Gecko shouted as he pulled several IV's and tubes out of his body. "DAD!"
"Whoa, Gecko! Stop!" Lance tried to stop their new friend.
"Gotta save'em." Gecko panicked as he tried to pull himself out of the bed.
"GECKO, STOP IT!" Todd shouted. "You've been through a lot, yo."
"I gotta save my mom and dad!" Gecko thrashed and growled.
"Gecko, we found where they were." Lance said, and Gecko stopped thrashing. "But they were already gone…"
"What!" Gecko shrieked.
"They're gone man." Pietro said as he and the other Misfits walked in.
"Wha…" Gecko stuttered "But… he had a huge laboratory…"
"Who?" Althea asked.
"I… I… Can't remember…" Gecko faltered, he ha memorized the face, he knew that much, but he had lost the name. "But I know his face…" Gecko covered his face in shame and quickly realized his face was now protruding from where it normally was, and his lips felt weird.
"Uh…" Pietro started. "You know how you said you wished you could be a mutant?"
"Yeah…" Gecko didn't like where this was going.
"Surprise." Pietro held up a mirror.
"Wh… what did he do to me?" Gecko said as he grabbed the mirror and studied his face.
"Well whoever this guy is, he injected you with an altered mutagen serum contaminated with various gecko DNA samples." Althea explained. "And now you're a mutant… of sorts."
"Of sorts?" Gecko gave what the others took as a quizzical look.
"The official term is 'Mutate', but we don't really see any difference since humans are going to lump you in with us anyway." Althea sighed. "Think you can give the Joes this guy's description?"
"Yeah, no problem." Gecko growled. "But where are my parents?"
"That we don't know." Todd said, "But The X-Men and all our friends are helping us."
"Ok then." Gecko sighed. "How long have I been out?"
A look passed between the Misfits, and then Lance spoke up. "You've been unconscious for a few days, but you've been here for almost a week."
"I don't remember…" Gecko started. "All I remember after that guy injecting me was… a forest… and something big… then I was here."
"Yeah." Wanda handed Gecko a cup of water. "That sounds about right."
"What happened?" Gecko asked, and the Misfits told him.

"I don't like this…" Wheeler said as he and Linka crawled out of a cave system near the experimentation site.
"Da…" Linka agreed. "This is definitely not high on my favorite things to do list either."
"Not that." Wheeler said. "I meant this whole situation."
"Ey, you two!" Pyro shouted as he ran up to two of his newest friends. "Look what the monkey found." He handed the two the plastic casing to what looked like a computer and it's serial numbers were still in tact.
"Great!" Wheeler smiled. "Where are those two anyway?"
"They was just behind me." Pyro said as a panting Ma-ti and Suchi came into view. "Ah, there they are." Pyro ran back to join them.
"He has too much energy." Linka rolled her eyes.
"We used to have that much energy when we were teens…" Wheeler said, and then winced when Linka punched his shoulder. "OW!"
"Are you calling me old?" Linka narrowed her eyes.
"No…" Wheeler said as Linka punched him again, this time jokingly.
"Anyway…" Linka went back to business. "This should help us find out who is experimenting on people."
"Yeah, let's get back to the Pit so they can analyze this." Wheeler said as he pulled out his cell phone, which also doubled as a walkie-talkie so the team could communicate easier.
"Wheeler…" Linka froze before he could speak. "Something behind you…"
"What?" Wheeler turned just in time to see a large brown hairy fist smack into his skull.
"WIND!" A second later the beast was flying into a tree at around a hundred miles per hour. Linka was immediately at her boyfriend's side. "Wheeler, can you hear me?
"Ow…" Wheeler said, "MOmmY, the BiG bUlLy hUrT me…"
"Great…" Linka picked up Wheeler's walkie and shouted for help. Then the big creature, which looked oddly like a gorilla, got back up and began stalking its way towards her. "Back off…" Linka snarled. The creature stopped and paced for a few seconds before it started towards her again.
"I don't think so!" A voice called as a wall of flame encircled the beast as Pyro and Ma-ti came running back.
"Ma-ti see what it wants!" Linka said.
"Heart!" Ma-ti said as he held his ring to his head. A second later he gripped it in agony as he hit the ground. "It's not a monster…"
"What?" Pyro asked. "Looks like a frickin' Big Foot if ya ask me!"
"It's another experiment; he thinks we're here to hurt him!" Ma-ti said. "Pyro put the flames down."
"Ti, I know we're friends and all, but that is probably a bad idea…" Pyro said.
"John, please." Ma-ti said and Pyro sighed as he lowered the flame wall. The beast charged immediately, but just as quickly became docile as Ma-ti reconnected to its mind. Then the creature sat down and took a nap.
"You could'a said you were gonna do that…" Pyro gave his friend an indignant look.
"I could have, but you trusted me anyways." Ma-ti pointed out.
"Eh…" Pyro shrugged. "Trust… still getting' used to doing that with humans…"
"Yes, well we can talk about your trust issues later; right now I think Wheeler needs a doctor." Linka said as she hoisted Wheeler on her shoulders.
"Mommy… can the cars come out to play in the highway place…" Wheeler muttered as he hung loosely off of Linka's shoulders.
"Among other things." Pyro commented.
"Let's just get back for now…" Linka stared at Pyro, she had made it clear from day one that she disliked Pyro's irreverent and chaotic attitude towards life.
"Right…" Pyro said, "But who's going to take Stinky Kong over there?" Pyro was silent as all eyes fell on him. "I had ta ask…" Pyro sighed as he sat next to the large body. Seconds later they were in the Pit.
