Chapter 2 Peter's Rescue

Just then when Peter thought he was done for a black jet landed on the ground and out came a group of mutants. "Kitty go and help whomever is under those cars. We will handle Magneto," ordered Cyclops. Kitty immediately ran over to the pile of cars. Kitty phased her body through, slowly creeping down to save, what she thought was a civilian. Meanwhile back up at the surface Cyclops, Rogue, Nightcrawler, and Jean ran towards Magneto with Xavier trailing behind.

"Well Charles you look chipper as always. Come to ruin my fun have you?"

"What are you doing here Magneto and why are you harming innocent people?"

"Well I was just trying to make a withdrawal when Spider-Man got in my way."

Surprise replaced their battle ready expressions knowing Kitty was about to come face to face with her hero.

In order to keep himself from becoming one with the road Peter made a constantly reinforced web shield. However he knew his supply of webbing wouldn't last much longer and couldn't ignore the growing fear within. Preoccupied with his Herculan task he didn't notice the presence approaching him. "Oh my your Spider-Man! I can't believe I'm saving the Amazing Spider-Man. Can I get your autograph?" Peter was shocked. Not just because the girl just phased through a pile of steel, but that she was asking him for his autograph at a time like this. "Ok, now that we know who I am, can we get out of here before I become a permanent part of the road"

"Of course," Kitty grabbed the web slinger and phased to the surface.

Kitty struggled her way to the surface. She felt like she was swimming in a sea of molasses.

Never before has her phasing ability given her this much trouble with only one passenger.

Spider man was stuck halfway through a v-8 engine in a badly torn up costume. Kitty's concentration was beginning to slip so she called for help. Her teammates ran to her aid,leaving their mentor to face off against Magneto. "Well Charles I must be off. Fun times over and I don't feel like a confrontation yet, but we will meet again." With that Magneto flew off in his magnetic bubble. Professor X rolled to spider man's side to make sure their nemesis didn't hurt him too bad and to get his report on the events that had just transpired.

"Are you all right?" everyone asked Spider-Man?"

"Yes, but one question who are you people?"

"We are the X-Men. We should talk at a more appropriate location, at my mansion," stated Xavier

"Fine but I have to make a call first."

"Sure you can use the phone in the blackbird. We will wait out here so you can have some privacy."

Peter headed to the blackbird while the rest of the X-men stayed with Xavier. She agreed that it would be ok. Peter hated having to lie to her, but he couldn't tell her the truth. Hanging up the phone he headed back to the group. Meanwhile a conversation was taking place outside. "Professor are you like going to ask Spider-Man to stay with us," questioned Kitty.

"I am thinking about it Kitty."

"This is like a dream come true I got to meet Spider-Man."

"Just don't embarrass yourself by doing something weird," laughed Scott

Kitty's face became several shades of red knowing that Scott must have known about her secret crush. "I let my family know where I'm going," Peter called from the doorway, "so lets go." With that everyone piled into the blackbird taking off in the direction of Bayville.

"May I have that autograph now?" Kitty asked to the chuckles of her teammates.
