Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
treyalexander63917: Yes both Norman and Miles will play large roles in this story, Miles later on and he'll get his powers the same way only difference being that the spider didn't bite Peter beforehand since he already has powers from the Terrigean mist. The Symbiote will be from space, like it's mainstream counterpart instead of being the weird bio suit meant to cure cancer.
Jestalnaker94000: No I don't think he lives in the Savage land in the Ultimate comics, mainly because Magneto killed off all the humans that were there.
MCRasengan: Peter and Wanda will interact soon and will regularly meet up with each other, even more so after they both join the Ultimates.
superspiderfan: Yes to Quicksilver, but Magneto may be a bit out of his league, doesn't mean the master of magnetism will escape unscathed by Peter.
justafan: No Medusa doesn't have problems with Peter being with super powered women so much as who he's with, Wanda was a mutant terrorist and Selene is a several thousand-year-old energy vampire, both would make any mother hesitant to let her son near them. Actually the Magneto of the Ultimate Marvel verse isn't Jewish and was never sent to a concentration camp, he actually got his powers as a result of the Weapon X program that made Wolverine, well Wolverine and helped free him. And yeah while Wanda is all for Mutants first and screw everyone else, she does have her limits and Maximus is unknowingly helping her discover hers.
Spider-Ninja0117: Hmm Peter with nearly indestructible metal laced claws or stingers in a similar fashion to either Wolverine, X-23, Daken or Sabretooth…I actually have something like that planned out for my DC new 52 Spider-man story.
marveldcfan: Most will be shocked and some of their reactions will be a little funny.
Guest: Medusa will be less than pleased with some choices that Peter has made in regards to who he'll be with but she'll largely keep silent on the matter... mostly.

"So, you're from Morocco huh?" Peter asked Ororo as he and the white-haired beauty sat in the kitchen of the x-mansion as he and Bobby have taking to calling it several days after liberating Wolverine from his temporary imprisonment.
Peter was down here tinkering with his mask and having a glass of orange juice and Ororo was in for some lunch after a grueling sparing session with Jean earlier.
"Yes, grew up being a pick pocket after my parents died and I left the crap hole of an orphanage I was sent to" Ororo said as she stirred the contents of her plate with a fork as she reminisced her days before coming to America "Afterwards I came to the states and well started to steal cars and sometimes even boost them if the moneys good enough. Hell of a lot easier than trying to pick pocket people here that's for sure"
"Hmm so the resident weather witch has a shady criminal past?" Peter said with a grin as he downed his glass of orange juice "Is Scott and Bobby the only two here aside from yours truly that wasn't a criminal or something in the past?"
"What can I say…I'm a bad girl" Ororo said the last part with a flirtatious wink that caused Peter to briefly choke on his juice which in turn caused her to laugh "Careful little spider…second hand drowning tends to kill people more often than actual drowning these days"
"Better than burning to death probably" Peter agreed as he placed his glass down and rubbed the back of his head "So you can pretty much create and manipulate hurricanes if you really wanted?"
Ororo shrugged "Well I've never done something on that scale before but yeah, I probably could…but I was able to make a miniature tornado once filled with lightning"
"Sweet…that alone probably makes you one of the most powerful mutants on earth at the moment" Peter said.
"And I look damn fine being it too" Ororo joked as she glanced out the window and saw that it was a pretty clear and sunny day before she glanced back at Peter "So I have to ask…why are you looking for your uncle? Jean said something about him escaping and your tasked with bringing him back"
"That's the short and easy version of it but yeah in a nut shell" Peter said with a nod as he leaned on the counter with his elbows "Truth be told, I'd rather be on the other side of the planet then be within a hundred miles of him but…well there's no one else at the moment that could take him down"
"You don't think we could?" Ororo asked with curiosity.
"Honestly…no" Peter said with a frown "My uncle's a powerful telepath, hell he's probably even stronger than Xavier and his telekinesis is off the charts. I once saw him lift an iceberg the size of a twenty-story building and tossed it half a mile"
"Damn…" Ororo said with wide eyes, that definitely trumped any telekinetic feats pulled off by the professor that she's seen since joining the X-Men.
"Yeah and add in a massive dose of insanity and a libido of chaos and you got one scary mofo with a thing for white and grey for some weird reason" Peter said with a sigh.
"And the people who sent you expect you to bring him down?" Ororo said with disbelief, it sounded like a suicide mission to her. While she's seen that Peter's no push over, it sounded like he was woefully out of his depth with this man.
At this Peter smirked "Oh don't worry, I have something that may come in handy for when I run into my mad uncle, the real kicker is being able to use if before he kills me"
"What is it?" Ororo asked as she leaned forward.
"It's a secret" Peter said with a smirk which in turn caused Ororo to grin.
"Oh…and pray tell what I'll have to do to earn the privilege of such a secret?" Ororo asked in a low tone.
Peter quirked a brow at this as he eyed Ororo up and down, he'd have to be one blind idiot to miss the image she gave him. A loose grey top that hung on her and gave him a good view of her generous cleavage, tan yoga shorts that displayed her long-toned legs and her waist length snow-white hair hanging off to the side like a water fall as she titled her head a little, any man and even some women would be drooling with lust.
"Well…" Peter said as he leaned in close to the smirking woman "You can always-"
"Yo guys what up!" Bobby said as he barged into the room with his headphones on, blaring his music blaring through his ear drums to the point it's a miracle he can even hear still.
And just like a cold bucket of ice water thrown on a burning flame, the mood was snuffed out.
"…Hello Bobby" Ororo said with a look of annoyance thrown towards the ice powered mutant who seemed oblivious to the sexual tension he just broke between her and Peter.
"Hey O, hey Pete" he said with a absent minded wave thrown towards them as he rummaged through the fridge before pulling out a small container with left over pie in it "Sweet one slice let!"
Peter chuckled at the young teen's exuberance "Careful Ice boy, Logan staked a claim on that already"
"Yeah well he ain't here to claim it soooo…" Bobby trailed off as he created a small fork made of ice and began to dig into the apple cinnamon flavored treat "Mine!"
"What do you think we should put on his tombstone?" Peter glanced at Ororo with a grin.
"Hmm…his love for pie did him in" Ororo said with a chuckle as she finished off her lunch before standing up "Well if anyone needs me, I'll be taking a shower before me, pie lover and Colossus head out to Manhattan…"
As she passed Peter, she leaned down and whispered, "Feel free to join me Peter…if not I can always get Hank to instead…or if you want, both of you"
"I'll…be up in a few, tell Hank that maybe next time" Peter said with a chuckle at the woman who responded with a silent 'good boy' and a pat on the head before she left the kitchen with a sway in her shapely hips.
Peter watched her go for a moment before glancing at Bobby who was so engrossed in eating the pie slice, he failed to notice Wolverine walk in and head for the fridge, not even sparing the two a glance.
'Uh oh…' Peter thought as he watched the feral mutant pop open the fridge and glance inside it for a minute.
Peter used this moment to silently grab Bobby's attention and made a gesture for him to bail out of the kitchen quick. The ice powered teen gave him a confused look before his face paled as Logan spoke in a gruff and annoyed tone.
"Who…the fuck…ate…that…pie!" the man said as he began to move things around to see if it was simply hidden.
Bobby silently grabbed his plate and made a beeline for the exit as Logan turned to glance at Peter who was trying hard not to laugh at just how close Bobby was to getting caught and possibly gutted. The clawed man narrowed his eyes at Peter.
"Something funny bug man?"
Peter shot the mutant a look of annoyance "Okay first off all, spiders aren't bugs, second of all yeah there is something funny"
"Oh and what's that?" Logan asked with narrowed eyes.
Peter eyed the feral mutant for a moment before grinning "You just look so cuddly when your all grumpy and pissed off for no reason, add in the fact your short and I'd probably mistake you for Grumpy the Dwarf"
Logan growled at the man before he extended his middle claw at the spider powered Inhuman who in turn chuckled.
"Aww cute, tell me who does your nails? And your hair while were on that, seriously do you spend half an hour in front of the mirror getting those little points or is it just natural?"
"How about you come over here and find out" Logan said as he unsheathed the other two in his hand.
At this Peter's eyes narrowed slightly and his smile dropped a bit as he felt a tingling in the back of his head. The tension in the kitchen could be cut with a knife before suddenly Logan let out a snort.
"One day that mouth of yours is going to get you in trouble"
Peter shrugged "Maybe, but until then, the ladies don't seem to mind…"
"Well that shows they have piss poor taste in men…then again their surrounded by a big footed nerd, a boy scout with a pole up his ass, a tall ass Russian's momma's boy and a kid that hasn't even got a driver's license that likes to make ice puns when he's not showing off" Logan said as he glanced back in the fridge for a moment before he let out a loud exhale and slammed the doors shut.
"And a grumpy cigar chewing dwarf that smells like cheap beer and even cheaper shampoo, welcome to the league of undesirables, population now five thanks to you" Peter said with a challenging smirk which in turn Logan returned with a growl.
It was then Scott entered the room with a towel on his shoulders, he came to a stop as he glanced at the two "Am I interrupting something?"
"Nope" Peter said as he stood up and made his way out of the kitchen "Anyone needs me, or Ororo for that matter…we'll be taking a shower!"
Scott and Logan watched him go before they turned their gazes to each other and the room was filled with an even thicker tension than that Peter and Logan had.
"…"
"…"
"…Dick" Scott said after several moments of staring at the older man.
"Pussy…" Logan rebuked as he made his way out of the kitchen and towards the gardens outside.
…
"I thought this was a friendly training session he was doing, not a remake of the Friday the Thirteenth franchise" Peter said with a quirked head as he watched Wolverine in the virtual simulator slash Cyclops across the chest.
"It is…he's just taken to ignoring it" Jean said with a huff as she watched Wolverine grab the fake Scott by the head and use his eye beams to blast a hole through fake Jean's stomach "I so could have blocked that"
"And why am I the first one to die?" Scott asked as he scratched his head "And why is my virtual doppelganger trying to take Wolverine in a fist fight? I have laser beams with a range of several hundred feet!"
"I know right, it's usually the virgins that live or die last" Peter quipped which in turn caused Scott to scowl at him while Jean chuckled.
"One of these days web head, SPLAT!" Scott said as he slammed his fist into his palm.
Peter chuckled at this before Hank got his attention by clearing his throat.
"So…you and Ororo?" Hank said as he and Peter were down in the watching Wolverine tear a bloodied swath through the various members of the X-men while Xavier watched while petting his cat in a manner that Peter swears is what those super villains from those James Bond movies do, he's even got the bald head to go with it!
Peter glanced towards the school's resident genius begore he shrugged "It's not permanent, after I find and get my uncle I'm gone and she knows it. Just think of me as the guy she can screw around with until the real guy she has her eyes set on man's up and asks her out"
Hank glanced at Peter with a quirked brow "Is that right?"
"Yep, sides I kind of have a girl waiting for me back home anyhow" Peter said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Seriously?" Hank asked with slight surprise.
"Well I think I do, I don't know yet" Peter said with a shrug before he grinned at hank "But when I do, you'll be the first to know!"
"Hurray me, maybe we can compare stories while the girls compare experiences" Hank said with a snort before he remembered something he wanted to speak with Peter about "While we're on the subject of your home…where is it, if you don't mind me asking"
Peter glanced at Hank with slightly narrowed eyes of suspicion "Why do you want to know?"
"Well it's just I was running a few bio readings of some of the others here and I couldn't help but notice that out of everyone save Wolverine, you're the healthiest I've ever seen." Hank said as he took a moment to bring up a small holographic image of Peter "But I noticed your immune system was…well to be honest oddly low. Like you've never been sick a day in your life"
Peter glanced at the readings Hank made before he nodded "Yeah well I come from a pretty closed off community. No disease of any kind going around…not even a common cold which sucked when I got it the yesterday, thank god for descent healing factors hmm?"
"Fascinating…" Hank said before glancing at Peter "If you don't mind, I'd really like to take some blood samples from you. You're not a mutant that much is obvious considering you went right up to a sentinel the other day and flipped it off, which means your something else entirely or like Bobby's said, a super soldier of some sort"
"Ehh maybe after I catch my crazy uncle I'll let you in on the secret hanky, but until then…" Peter trailed off as Wolverine's training simulation ended…with him killing all of the X-Men.
Xavier had a look of slight annoyance "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed on some primitive level Wolverine…but you're only supposed to wrestle your fellow X-men in these Danger Room exercises, not hack them to pieces"
Logan smirked at this "Sorry bub, force of habit"
"Well let's hope this habit takes less than two months to change, cause I like my limbs attached thank you very much" Peter said.
"Could you regrow them?" Hank inquired.
"Don't know and honestly I don't want to find out…ever!"
"These virtual simulators you put together are pretty convincing beast. You got any over 18 versions?" Logan asked with a grin as he approached the duo and wiped some of the sweat off he got from the training exercise.
"Consider yourself at the top of the list for the Britney and Christina program I've been working on upstairs" Hank said with a snort of amusement while Peter shook his head.
"I'll stick to real life" Peter said as the memory of Selene giving him her home address came to mind "But hey if Logan feels that the only way he's ever going to score is with a computer program, who are we to get in his way"
This earned a laugh from Hank while Logan growled at Peter who snockered at the man in return.
It was then Xavier's voice broke up the three's conversation "I'm glad your settling in Wolverine, but I must admit I'm a little surprised you've remained with us this long"
Scott nodded in agreement "Yeah, what attracts a maverick with a rep like yours to our quiet little upstate safe house?"
It was than Logan glanced at Jean with a smirk before he shrugged "The scenery bub, the scenery"
It was than Peter leaned in towards Hank "What you think? Horrid nightmares for the rest of his life or a telekinetic blast into a wall or ten?"
"Why not both?" Hank whispered back with a chuckle before Ice man barged in with a panicked expression on his face.
'Uh oh…' Peter thought.
"Congratulations Iceman, you just saved Wolverine from six weeks of sucking dinner through a straw" Jean said as Ororo and Colossus appeared in the doorway with an equally panicked expression on their faces.
"Why's everybody standing around cracking stupid jokes?" Bobby said in a slight out of breath tone "Haven't you heard the news?"
"What news?" Scott asked with concern.
It was sveral moments later the entire team was in a darkened living room watching the latest news segment that just came on several minutes ago.
"At 9:15 am local time the President's daughter disappeared from her room at New Jersey's Princeton University. Forty-five minutes later, the Brotherhood of Mutants claimed responsibility for the kidnapping and a statement was issued by Magnet, leader of the anti-human cult" a blonde news anchor woman reported.
It was than an image of Magneto sitting on a throne with a glass in his hand appeared on screen "One hundred and thirteen mutants have been murdered by the Sentinels in an effort by your President to halt evolution" the man said as he twirled the contents of his glass round "But their next Mutant kill shall be followed by the execution of his foul mouthed female calf. This is my one and only warning, I have nothing more to say"
"God this is terrible. What are we supposed to do now?" Scott said as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Recue her of course. What other course of action would you recommend Cyclops?" Xavier said as he glanced at the field team leader of the X-Men.
'I'd probably leave her if it was my people being butchered daily' Peter thought quietly to himself as he folded his arms and leaned against the sofa and waited to see what the X-men will do.
It was Ororo who spoke up first "But rescuing the first daughter or whatever they call her means the Sentinels are going to be out there forever Professor"
She than adjusted her position on the pool table she was sitting on "I don't like Magneto any more than you do but at least he's stopped the government from killing Mutants"
Xavier shook his head "The only lasting solution to the tension between mankind and the Mutant population is a peaceful one, Storm. Turn your back on this girl and you might as well sign up with Magneto"
Scoot was silent for a moment as he stared at the screen with Magneto's image on it before he let out a sigh "I hate to say it but he's right. We all want to see the Sentinels taken out of the picture, but we can't let the Brotherhood use this girl as a bargaining chip"
"Are you saying what I think your saying?" Peter asked the optic beam wielding man, his response was a nod "…Just checking"
Peter than glanced at Xavier "I really hope you know what you're doing Xavier…this entire thing could go farther south for Mutant kind than before"
"Indeed…" Xavier nodded with a grim expression.
"What about you Wolverine?" Jean said as she stared at the cigar smoking mutant with a frown "You tagging along for our first real fight with the brotherhood of Mutants?"
Logan smirked as he blew out a small stream of smoke "Well I kinda had my heart set on playing call of duty with Spidey here, but why the hell not. Sounds like it could be a laugh"
"Better than the crying you'd do after I curb stomp you in Black Ops" Peter smirked at the man as Scott began to have a coughing fit from Logan's cigar smoke blowing into his face.
"Couldn't you smoke that somewhere else?" Scott asked as he tried to wave the nicotine laced smoke away from his face.
"Nope"
…
Far to the north, in the heart of arctic Circle and several hundred feet beneath mountains of ice, rock and snow laid the city of Attilan, capital of the Inhumans of Earth. At the heart of the city was the Royal Citadel and within, Medusa and her husband Blackgar Boltagon were in the middle of a serious conversation in regard to Peter's future…
"Do you truly believe this Xiaoyi Chen will make a good match for Peter beloved?" Medusa asked with slight worry as she read the report on the daughter of current leader of the Himalayan Inhuman city of Shangri-La.
Blackgar nodded as he replied in a special sigh langue they developed for him in his younger days when he was kept in isolation to safely control his at the time unstable and out of control Qusai-Sonic Scream.
Yes, she will make a suitable companion for Peter for when he takes command.
Medusa nodded at this but still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, it's not that the girl Xiaoyi was a bad choice, in fact the Queen met her when she was younger when she and Blackgar's visited Shangri-La several years ago and couldn't help but be charmed by child, it's just that when her little spider does marry this woman, by Inhuman accounts he'll be considered a man in their people's eyes and well there was still that small part of Medusa that didn't want that to happen.
The humans call it Empty Nest Syndrome…her sister Crystal called it being overbearing.
"I wonder if this is how our parents felt when they chose us to be wed" Medusa said with a sigh as she went over the girl's powers and saw that she had the ability to manipulate air pressure.
'Perhaps…' Blackgar said with a slight telepathic whisper in Medusa's head as he stared at the image of Xiaoyi Chen with a thoughtful expression on his face.
It was then they heard the faint clapping of hooves on the ground and both the ruling monarchs turned to see Gorgon approaching. Gorgon acted as both Blackgar's personal bodyguard and the trainer for Inhumans who are exposed to Terrigean Mist. His hooved feet are capable of producing seismic shockwaves with a strength of 7.5 on the Richter Scale, or even a 9.5 if near a fault line.
Gorgon came to a stop before the duo and placed a hand over his chest and gave a slight bow to each of them "My king…my queen…"
"Ah, Gorgon, what do you have to report of Aerie?" Medusa spoke, echoing the words of her husband that filtered through her head "Good news we hope…"
Gorgon looked uneasy as he spoke, something that almost instantly put both the king and queen on edge "Aerie has…called for secession from Attilan and the other city states…"
At this Medusa and Blackgar's eyes widened in shock "What?!"
…
And done.
Next chapter Peter and the X-men head off to save the president's daughter and have their first conflict with the brotherhood of mutants, meanwhile Maximus continues to make plans…
