How does this work?

Okay, so first I play the Procession.  I choose the Band of Misfits, and I choose to play my Band of Misfits as a Fortress.  So it's a Fortress until it leaves play.

First time I play the "Fortress": +1 Card, +2 Actions.  Now I'm at 4 cards in hand and 2 Actions.

Second time I play the "Fortress": +1 Card, +2 Actions.  Now I'm at 5 cards in hand and 4 Actions.

Now here's where it gets weird.  I trash the "Fortress".  The Band of Misfits hasn't left play yet, so it's still a "Fortress".  Because of this, it returns to my hand when I trash it, right?  Is it now a Band of Misfits again, or does returning to my hand from play mean it leaves play?  I assume it does, so let's say it's a Band of Misfits again.  Now, Procession says I gain an Action costing $1 more than it.  So do I gain a $5 (Because the Procession played a "Fortress" twice) or a $6 (Because the Procession played Band of Misfits twice and it's now a Band of Misfits again)?

"When you gain" happens after a card hits your discard pile, so I imagine that "When you trash" happens after a card hits the trash pile.  By that point, the BoM has left play and is no longer a Fortress.

The order of things that happen is:

First you play Procession, choosing BoM as Fortress.
Play fortress the first time. 4 cards in hand, 2 actions remaining.
Play fortress the second time. 5 cards in hand, 4 actions remaining.
Trash the fortress - it goes back into your hand instead of the trash. Also it revers back to being a BoM.
Gain a card costing $1 more than it. "It" is now the BoM, so you gain a $6-cost card.

The fact that the Band-as-Fortress goes back into your hand, not the trash, and you gain a 6-cost card, was confirmed directly by Donald X at one point.

I think it's in the DA rule book.

Except that it's not "instead of". It does get trashed (which can matter), and then moves from Trash to your hand.
