I want this chapter to answer some questions that have probably risen in the past few chapters. Enjoy!
Ch. 11
As I pulled the webbing off of the other bird kids, they stood and gathered around angel.
"So," Angel said calmly, "are you sure you want to hear the rest of the story?"
"Yes, I want to know what you are talking about" I said, although I was unsure of whether or not it was true.
"very well, I will tell you," she paused for a moment before continuing. "you may want to sit, it's a longs story.
"A few years ago— after we escaped the lab the first time as a group— I was captured again and taken back, where they did more experiments on me. during that time, I overheard many plans for other mutants, though I was more concerned about my own situation at that time.
"One of the projects that were mentioned several times was the Spider Experiment. Of course, they did not openly talk about such things. Back then I could only hear what people were thinking, and could not communicate mentally.
"Right before I got out of the lab again I witnessed more experiments, and strangely enough, they were on a common spider. Now, seeing you, I know that you were affected by this Spider Experiment."
I began to realize that what she was saying made sense. "If what you say is true, why would they not want to control who got the bite?"
"I am not sure. I didn't get information on the entire plan before I was rescued from the lab again. It has been many years since that all happened, and I am actually surprised that you have only recently surfaced as Spiderman."
Max spoke next, "At first, we thought you were working for I-tex. There have been many hybrids come after us over the past years; Erasers and Fly Boys to name a couple. Then we found a news article asking if you were a hero or a menace, which led us to question our first judgement. That is when Angel remembered what happened at the lab -or as we always called it- the School."
"but if you knew that I wasn't working for them, why did you still fight?"
"it is engrained in our instinct not to trust," Fang said, "and when we saw you speeding toward us, we panicked. Years of having to dodge bullets will do that to you."
"It's hard to grasp" I said, thinking about all I had heard, and putting the pieces together in my mind. "It doesn't make any sense."
"You're right," Angel said, "It doesn't. but it is fact. Now, you can deny it and be an enemy, or you can accept it and help us make things right. We are going to fill our vengeance with or without your help. Make your decision."
I thought it over as the flock stared at me. "I will help… But we will do it when nobody will get hurt."
