Chapter 21: X-Spider, Part 3
"And now, you shall formally meet the team."
Peter was nearly bouncing in joy as the elevator stopped. Once it did, he bolted right out of it…and ran straight into Jubilee.
"Professor, what's with bringing uninvited guests into the base? I thought you put the kibosh on that idea."
"Relax, Jubilee. I invited them to the base."
Jubilee clenched her teeth as she shook Peter's hand.
"Mister Parker, I believe you and Miss Watson owe Jubilee a lunch sometime soon."
"Professor, I'll get to it sooner rather than later."
"Very well. Now then, let's get you acquainted with-"
A large man in an old wool jacket approached.
"I was just about to introduce some new students to you, Logan."
The man snuffled a bit.
"What's he doing?" Ben Reilly asked.
"Gettin' your scent, bub." the man answered.
"Who are you anyways?"
The man gave a slight grin, and metal claws shot out of his knuckles.
"Jesus H. Christ!" was Ben's response.
"That answer your question, 'cause who else would have these beuts but Wolverine?"
Peter and Mary Jane introduced themselves, cautiously shaking Wolverine's hand.
"Professor X, tell me more about our guests." Wolverine requested afterwards.
"It's simple, old friend. Mister Parker and Miss Watson are mutates thanks to a spider bite."
"Must've been some spider."
"Anyways, I need you and some of the others to help them tap their full potential."
The two exchanged a knowing glance.
"I'll be sure to tell Gwen to boot up the Danger Room." Wolverine announced.
And with that, Peter and Mary Jane left with Wolverine.
"What about us?" Ben and Angelica piped up.
"You two will stay with me." Professor Xavier answered.
