Welcome to Hell AKA high-school

Peter awoke to the sound of his alarm and slowly dragged his tired ass out of bed. He had gone out the night before and patrolled the city as Spider-man thankfully Bayville is a lot quieter than New York City. Peter looked to the clock and saw it was 6:45 he had only been asleep for 4 hours he went to the shower room and found an open stall he turned on the cold water and it hit him like a ton of bricks but it got his heart and brain going a little trick peter had learned to keep alert, peter turned the cold water off and the shower warmed up nicely and he finished up he shut off the shower and grabbed his towel got dried off and wrapped the towel around his lower half and pulled the curtain back and found Rogue standing in all her glory applying her makeup and doing her hair. Peter couldn't speak he was awe struck and he took every second to take in her athletic body and then she looked and saw Peter's reflection staring at her. Rogue freaked out she grabbed her towel quickly wrapped it around herself and made a mad dash towards a shower stall. Once Peter's brain became fully active again he grabbed his stuff and left as quickly as he could when he looked at the door it was plainly labeled women's shower. He was so tired he never saw it.

'Great way to start a day Peter seriously' he thought to himself as he made it back to his room and got dressed. 10 minutes later everyone was at the main entrance waiting for their ride to school. Peter looked and saw Rogue dressed in her standard emerald green see through top with black tank top underneath with black pants and heavy boots. She looked up and saw Peter he smiled a lopsided smile to show how sorry he was about the incident in the shower, she just scowled and turned back to the door and walked off 'perfect Peter, just perfect'. He walked down the stairs and outside where a large van was waiting to take most of the kids to the high-school where Jamie being too young for high-school went to the local middle school Scott on the other hand had his own car a beautiful 1960's era Corvette.

Everyone packed inside the van and then they took off. After a short 20 minute drive the older kids were dropped off. Peter had tried to talk to Rouge about what had happened but she just brushed him off. Upon entering Peter went to the main office to get his schedule and locker assignment. He walked up to the secretary desk and introduced himself.

"Hello I'm sorry to bother you; my name is Peter Parker I just got enrolled here."

"Yes Mr. Parker the principal would like to see you, please enter she's expecting you."

Peter knocked on the door and was told to enter he walked to a chair and sat down, the female principle was writing something down in a file folder.

"Mr. Parker my name is Principal Darkholm I was just going over your file, it says you were a member of the photography club, school newspaper, and the science club and received straight A's until 6 months ago what may I ask happened?" Peter's Spider sense started flaring like a siren on a fire engine.

"Without getting to personal my uncle was killed and we have been struggling ever since."

"When you say we…?"

"My Aunt and I" he replied

"Uh huh, it also says here that you are a resident of the Xavier Institute."

"That's right is this going somewhere because I have to get to class."

"Right to the point I admire that. First here is your schedule and your locker number secondly I wish to inform you that the school board may allow you and your 'compatriots' to attend here but since they have there has been a lot of strange things happening around the school, I can't prove it but I know its them so consider this a warning Mr. Parker. I will be watching."

"Is that all Principal Darkholm?" Peter said trying to get out of the situation he was in.

"Yes your first class begins in 10 minutes, Biology with Professor Connors room 22a."

Peter got up and left and quickly made his way to class. Professor Darkholm got on her intercom to her secretary and told her she did not want to be disturbed for the rest of the afternoon. Just then some metal paperclips started to fly around in a figure 8 pattern and Principal Darkholm quickly became Mystique.

"This new entry to Xavier's is interesting if we can figure the nature of his powers he would make an excellent addition to our cause" a disembodied voice sounded

"Yes magneto however there is something I can't quite place it's almost like he knew who I was. If this is true it might prove a problem for your plans."

"For now just keep a close eye on him take great care Mystique we are so close we don't want our plans to unravel because of one boy."

"No Magneto, I'll find out what I can."

"See that you do." The paperclips fell to the desk and Magneto had gone.

Peter had made it to class with seconds to spare before the bell rang 'thank god for spider speed' he thought to himself. The teacher arrived seconds after Peter and greeted the new addition warmly.

"Hello young man are you in my class?"

"Yeah I just transferred here." Peter replied

"Well good timing with your arrival we can begin the next section of our class with even numbers please take a seat next to young lady in the corner, she will be your lab partner for the rest of the semester."

Peter looked where he was pointing and saw a familiar face he sauntered over and sat down next to Rogue.

"Is this seat taken?" Rogue looked up and saw Peter standing at her lab desk.

"Do you have some sort of death wish or somethin?" Rogue said with blatant hostility towards the young man.

"Hey I just got to class this is my first day and I got totally reamed out by the school principal just for being in the same school as you guys I walk in here and the teacher assigns me you as my lab partner. Now like it or not we had best try to get to know each other because we are going to be together for a long time, Comprende."

Rogue just grimaced and took a very resolved face true she may have to work with him but she didn't have to like it. Peter took his seat and class began.

"Hello welcome to biology 101 my name is Dr. Curtis Connors."

After introductions the class began. Peter was most impressed by the teacher, he was an older man early forties just starting to show signs of grey in his hair but what was most striking was that he had only one arm. Peter was curious how it happened he wasn't about to push it. he carried himself like a true scientist always analyzing making the adjustments he needs to get the proper result and this was evident as he observed each of his students and then re arranged the seating so as to get the proper and desired result. After class ended it was off to English class, then Math, Peter excelled in these classes but what was interesting was each of his classes was with Rogue, much to her dismay. Sure she thought he was cute but he was annoying egotistical, overly confident, and she even would be willing to bet he was a real ladies man judging by the way he presented himself. He reminded her too much of Remy and she was not about to open herself up to that kind of torment ever again. After class it was time for lunch Peter went to his locker put his books away and grabbed his lunch money. as he was turning around and he walked right smack into a mountain of a man. Peter looked up and saw a boy of about 16 although judging by his size he could have looked much older, he had a sneer on his face and wore overalls and had his hair shaved into a Mohawk.

"So you're the new kid at that loser academy huh." He said

"You talking to me their big boy" Peter quipped

"I don't see any other losers around here do you?" he replied he looked down and saw the Peter had scuffed his new shoes which were not easy to come by for a teen of his size. "Hey you scuffed my shoes, do you know how hard it is for me to find shoes?"

"All things being equal i'd say you go through several pair a day judging by your size and mass. Maybe you should consider Jenny Craig or join a Gym weight watchers has gotten some seriously impressive results. I mean look and Valerie Bertinelli she lost the weight and now shes walking around in swimsuits and bikini's all day Eddie Van Halen was a fool for letting her go." Peter ranted

"I know what you mean she is totally gorgeous." Fred said going with Peters rant as if they were old friends then the realization hit him like a ton bricks through a glass window "Hey quit trying to distract me!" he bellowed

"Lay off the kid Fred it's his first day we should make him feel comfortable."

Peter started to sniff the air and he was hit with the most pungent, foul smelling odor that could ever exist on god's green earth. Just then a short gangly kid with long legs, short arms and a really bad skin condition hopped out from behind the massive behemoth.

"If you want to make me comfortable then maybe you should consider extra shower time after Gym cause dude you stink." Peter quipped once more.

"Hey I got a condition yo." He replied

Peter turned around to grab his money for lunch when he noticed it was gone.

"Looking for this?" A silver-haired teen said as he was holding Pete's money in his hand.

"Looks like my money can I have a closer look to verify it?" Peter blinked and the kid was standing in front of Peters dangling the money in front of his face.

"Wow your quick." Peter said

"Fastest man around these parts." He replied

"Yeah that's what heard from the Ladies there Quick draw McGraw" Peter said trying to induce a reaction.

The teen was fuming he ran up to Peter and reached back with his fist and was about to deliver a punch at super-speed when Peters spider sense kicked in and Peter barely dodged the fist. Peter Looked at the stunned teen and took advantage and reached for the hand that had his lunch money and grabbed it back.

"Your pretty quick but no one is faster than me." The silver-haired teen huffed.

Just then Scott Jean and Kurt arrived to help Peter out.

"Hey back off" Scott ordered

"Or what goggle boy?" Fred boasted

Scott just grinned as his glasses reflected the light from a nearby window.

"Or you have to deal with her." Scott pointed behind them and their standing behind them was Principal Darkholm.

"Pietro, Fred, Todd do we have a problem?" the Principal said

"Not really teach just trying to get my money back from this thief." Pietro said as he pointed at Peter.

"As if, it was you who tried to steal my money" Peter said trying to tell the Principal his side of the story

"ENOUGH both of you, Mr. Parker please give me the money." She commanded

Peter did as he was told and handed it over.

"Now all of scat and as for you two detention after school, get going."

The group dispersed and Peter was left with no money for Lunch. The rest of the Xavier students gathered around Peter and showed him to the Lunch area. They all found a seat with the others and everyone was more than happy to give up some of their lunches to Peter once he explained what happened with the group that had tried to take not only his money but also his head right off.

"Man what a day." Peter said

"It's not over yet I'm afraid Peter, like, you have detention which means you're going to be for sure late to Logan's danger room session today which is totally bunk." Kitty said with a fair amount of trepidation in her voice.

"Is that a bad thing?" Peter asked inquisitively which no one answered they all just looked away as if he had committed a grievous error and it would cost dearly when he got home. The rest of the day went without incident, Peter and his "partner in crime" sat in detention not saying a word they just glared at each other anger seething off the silver-haired speedster while Peter just sat there radiating a calm demeanor which was causing Pietro's ire to rise, but inside Peter was deathly afraid of what awaited him back at the institute. Thankfully he packed his spider-man gear in his backpack so he wouldn't be that late 'old habits die hard' Peter thought. Once the detention was over the two teens left Peter found the closest bathroom he could find, He quickly got changed and exited through a window and started swinging off towards the institute. Peter was making good time he seriously thought he was going to make it on time and he wouldn't have to worry, but as always lady fate had other ideas. Peter was coming up to one of the main intersections of the town where he heard a lot of sirens he looked over and saw this building on fire he swung over to see what was going on when he heard a woman scream that her baby is trapped inside. Peter swung into action without thinking he flew through one of the windows on the floor she said she was on thankfully the fire had caused the glass to blow out making it a little easier to get through. He landed with ease and started quickly searching for the baby. Outside a news van had arrived and started filming.

"This is Janet Snow reporting live from a five alarm blaze raging through a downtown Bayville apartment complex, we are being informed that there is still a trapped baby inside and a masked person has arrived and is attempting to locate and rescue the missing infant."

Inside the building Peter was getting frantic Peter couldn't find the missing child and he wouldn't give up then in the background Peter heard crying he made his way over and found the baby in its crib he wrapped the child in a heavy blanket and ran toward a window and he jumped out just in the nick of time as the fire had reached the gas line in the apartment and an explosion rocked the room just as he exited. Peter fired a web line and gently lowered himself to the ground and handed over the baby to the mother.

"Thank you so much" She said as she took off towards an ambulance to get her baby checked out. Peter was feeling good until a police officer ran up to him and pulled his gun.

"You stop right there." The officer ordered. Peter was in trouble he could easily avoid the gun and he was just about to when he heard a scream coming from top floor. Peter knew he was the only one who could reach that scream with enough time.

"I'm going" Peter said to the officer. The officer knew he was right and put his gun away.

"I'll be here when you get back." The officer replied

"I ain't coming back chief."

"Go, go"

Peter jumped to the top floor and through a window; he landed on his feet and began searching.

"Anybody in here" Peter called out "hello". Peter saw a figure dressed in a blanket wandering aimlessly. Peter quickly made his way over to the person and grabbed them, just as he did he was caught in the face with a quick mini explosion of fire causing the wall crawler to fall backwards. Peter reached for his mask grateful it hadn't melted he looked back at the person he was trying to save when Peter saw it was him who was the cause of the fire.

"Sorry their mate but when I get going I just have a hard time controlling myself" The man said with a very thick Australian accent. "People call me Pyro, and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"I wish I could say the same however you torching a building kinda puts a damper on our friendship don't you think." Peter quipped

"Oh this" Pyro said as he pointed around the building and the flames that engulfed it. "This was all to get your attention you see my boss has followed your career with great admiration."

"It's nice to have fans. However if your controlling the flames can you turn down the heat a bit this suit itches a lot when I sweat." Peter quipped once more and Pyro obliged he may be crazy but he was always a gentleman.

"So who is this boss of yours and why didn't he come to meet me himself?"

"He did." A voice from behind Peter announced. Peter took a turn and saw a man dressed in a long cape covered in metal armor and wearing an open-faced helmet floating down from the floor above.

"You know I hope you know the Darth Vader look went out in the 80's right"

"Charming, Spider-man my name is Magneto and I have come to offer you a position within my organization."

"Really what does this job entail?" Peter replied

"Look at us, we are gods among insects. A person with your skills could rule by my side and be very lucratively rewarded for his services." Magneto spouted. "All it would take is your sworn allegiance to me and the removal of the humans from the power they think they have."

Peter realized this guys a zealous nut job and needed to get out of here before the building came down around them all.

"Well as tempting as that offer is I have a job already so I will have to politely decline your generous offer." Peter quipped as was about to leap out the window when his spider sense went off like an opera singer belting out at the top of her lungs inside a library and none too soon. Pieces of metal began flying through the air at Peter which he dodged with great agility.

"I always thought I had a magnetic personality but this is ridiculous." Peter back-flipped and dodged until he was right beside a window he was about to jump through it as a wall of fire sprung up blocking his path.

"Anybody for fried spider it's a great delicacy but you have make sure it's well cooked." Pyro said as he willed the fire to block Peters escape. 'Think Peter and do it quickly' Peter thought to himself he looked up and saw a piece of debris precariously hanging in between the two and him he fired two web-lines and pulled hard until the debris came swinging down knocking the crazy firebug out cold. Peter took the advantage and hopped out and swung away.

A few minutes later Peter arrived at the institute he flew over the fence and landed in front of the main door he opened it and hoped that fate was kind and he didn't have a mob of people waiting for him to explain his actions he peered around the corner and stuck his head in. as usual fate was fickle mistress as not only was the Professor and his aunt waiting for him so was Logan Scott and Jean.

"Hello Peter how was your first day of school?" Aunt may asked "did you have fun, did you meet any new people, or did you get in trouble have detention and did you save a child from a burning building?" Aunt mays tone noticeably changed when she mentioned the last couple of questions.

"You know how it is Aunt May one moment your leaving school and the next you get stopped by crazy Australian with obvious impulse control problems, and a Darth Vader wannabe with major delusions of grandeur. So all in all a very typical day of school for me"

No one was amused, least of all the Professor as Peter had just described Pyro and Magneto to a tee and he began to grow more concerned about his old friends plans. Also he had some explaining to do to Peter as it was he was now on Magneto's radar.
