Okay here is A Looser Definition of Mutant part III, Training Daze
Matt Murdock was in his red jumpsuit and surveying his new charges. Three of them had managed to make his dead line; Quicksilver, Avalanche and the Blob. He shook his horned head. "well it looks like Mr. Tolensky and Ms. Maximoff need wake-up calls. Who wants to wake Ms. Maximoff?" Dare Devil had expected Avalanche and Blob to leap at the opportunity, but instead all three of them looked nervously at each other. "Please don't tell me you are afraid of a young woman," Dare Devil said tersely. "Fine, Quicksilver, start a warm shower, make sure there is roughly a foot of water in the bottom. Avalanche, Blob, you two will wait until Quicksilver joins you, and then you may use any method you see fit to wake Toad. Quicksilver, I also want Scarlet Witch's uniform and some towels in the bathroom ready for her.
Everybody went to their chores. As soon as the shower was ready, Dare Devil proceeded into Wanda's room and lifted her ever so gently from the bed. She was a heavier sleeper than most would have thought. She mumbled a few things and turned her head in towards Matt's chest. She began to stir as they got into the bathroom, but barely had, "what.,., huh?" out of her mouth before she was unceremoniously dropped into the shower. The thin white night gown she had worn clung to her body as it was instantly soaked through. She was enraged, and had thought for a moment that he was some sort of pervert. She quickly remembered that he was blind. She threw a hex-bolt at him, but he dodged it simply.
He turned as soon as he knew she was fully awake. He spoke over his shoulder, "I told you I wanted you ready at five, it is now five ten. You have wasted ten minutes of my, yours and your teammates time. Do not do it again. Finish your shower, get dressed and meet me down stairs. You are already late." He walked out, after dodging another hex-bolt.
She arrived down stairs twelve minutes later and was completely unimpressed with the "training" she witnessed. Lance and Freddy were on the floor, legs crossed, and eyes closed. Pietro was sitting in an easy chair. "Some training," she muttered.
She quickly received a quick and light strike on the head, not enough to hurt, but enough to get her attention. Dare Devil leaned in the corner watching the present teens. "Your greatest flaws are rarely ever in strength or power. They are usually in your control. Avalanche and Blob are meditating to help them achieve emotional control, quite critical to the mastery of their powers. Quicksilver is forcing himself to learn patience and self-restraint by remaining motionless for twenty minutes. And if he doesn't stop tapping his toes as I can hear him doing, he is going to stay for another twenty minutes. Pietro growled.
"So what is my training?" she asked.
Dare Devil smiled maliciously, "I was informed of Mr. Tolensky and yours special relationship. I will give you the option of training first or second."
"First," she said defiantly.
"Alright, first the instructions; for the next ten minutes you may not harm Toad," Wanda flinched when Todd's face lit up, "now do you see that coat closet over there? Get in." she did as instructed, and Todd hopped in after her. "I will open the door in ten minutes, for every time you strike Toad, you will run a mile. Have fun." Ten minute rolled by. They heard much growling, innumerable advances to Wanda, but just as Dare Devil was about to open the door, they heard a blood curdling scream from Todd. Matt looked at Wanda, and though he didn't doubt that Todd deserved whatever she did, he frowned.
"Alright, you want that mile now, or what?"
"Tomorrow, your brother already has fourteen push ups to do. I must admit I a impressed. But it is time for all to come full circle. Toad?" Dare Devil said looking at the quivering mass on the floor, holding his genitals.
"Yeah?" Toad squeaked.
"Back in the closet. This time the situation is reversed slightly. Your job is to not anger the Scarlet Witch. Wanda, you may do whatever you wish to him," Toad's eyes went wide as plates, "as long as you are provoked.. Meaning, he must make the annoying move first, then you may attack."
"And I will know the difference," he added as he shut the doors. When the doors where opened again, Toad sat in the fetal position with most of his hair singed black. Dare Devil looked down on Toad and said, "Don't worry buddy only three, not twenty three," he then looked at Wanda, who obviously had no remorse for what he had done, "I said you had to be provoked hon. not you had to be breathing."
She just shrugged and walked up to her bathroom, she had worked up a sweat with Toad. She was washing her hair when she realized, "he called me 'hon'."
As she pondered the meaning of this, four rooms over, three men were forcing another into a shower, "And use soap this time!" Matt yelled as he left.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Across town several hours earlier, Peter could not sleep. He was used to being up nights and swinging across the city. So he decided to slip down stairs for a midnight snack. He had the old habit, one started to keep from waking Aunt May, of crawling on the ceiling, to avoid creaky floorboards. He make his way downstairs and into the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and was very happy to find BBQ leftovers, he grabbed a couple of hotdogs and some toppings. He nuked the dogs and started preparing the buns. Now I should probably explain that up to this point he hasn't left the ceiling. As he put the now piping hot hotdogs onto their buns he thought, well it aint a corner dog, but then again this aint the city. As he took a bite, he looked over and saw another pair of eyes. The odd thing about them was that they were in a face which appeared to Peter as right side up. Meaning that the face was upside down. Both faces screamed and released the ceiling. Peter landed right side up and caught the two hotdogs and for some reason, a loaf of banana bread. The other figure barely managed to land right side up.
The blue figure clutched his three-fingered hand to his chest. "Jesus, Kurt!" Peter yelled, "You scared the shit outta me!"
"I'm sorry friend, but I am not used to anyone else being up dere, or up at night, or in here at night." Kurt was breathing quickly; Peter wasn't the only one who'd been scared.
Suddenly Logan burst into the room, claws out looking for danger. When he spotted only Peter and Kurt he said, "Elf, how many times have I got to tell ya, leave food out, and you attract insects."
"Arachnid thank you," Peter said with a nod.
"Just don't bother going back to sleep, the professor wanted me to give you something anyway Parker, follow me. Kurt shrugged and followed behind Peter. They went down a level, and into the bowels of the school. There they came upon the entrance to the danger room. Peter hand yet to be introduced to it. "The Professor asked me to show yo this." Wolverine hit a button on his right and all the teams uniforms slid out. They were the back-ups of course. Peter looked at each one and understood its importance. He had seen these guys fight on the news, then he came to one he didn't recognize. It was bright royal blue, as opposed to the dark midnight blue the other uniforms used. On the center of the chest, was a scarlet spider, its eight legs splayed out to form and "X". Peter was touched by the uniform. They had given him a personal one. He knew that all the other new recruits had received standard, midnight blue ones. He saw on the back of the wrists was another pair of spiders, these had their legs wrapped around the wrists. The shoulders had pads like Cyclops and Spyke's uniforms. And of course he had a yellow belt, with the black and red "X" emblazed on it. He saw on a small shelf inside, what could only be web shooters.
"Give it a try kid," Wolverine said. Peter didn't have to be told twice, he was already have way into it, when wolverine tossed something too him. It was a mask that covered all but his lower face and the top of his head so that his hair stuck out at all angles. It had his original spider-man eyes. The rest of the mask was the same electric blue as the uniform, the eyes were white and rimmed with red. Peter checked himself out in a mirror. Turning to Kurt and Wolverine, he said, "So what do you think, tell me honestly, does it make my butt look big?"
Wolverine growled and walked away to start the danger room up, while Kurt laughed his butt off at Peter's joke, he said, "Nein, but it does make you look like Captain America."
"Yeah, but like so much cuter," said Kitty, who had just phased through the ceiling. "Nice outfit Spider-Man."
Peter looked down at the uniform he was wearing. He thought for a moment and said, "Spider-Man is the reason I lost everything. My costume is gone, and now so is he. Kitty if you want to use a codename for me, call me.,., The Scarlet Spider!"
"Well, Scarlet Spider," said Scott, putting a hand on Peter's shoulder, "Its time for danger room calisthenics. Are you ready?"
"Born ready Cykes," then he leaned over to Jean who had just walked up, "come on calisthenics with my super-strength? how hard can it be?"
Peter was worried when Jean couldn't stop laughing. He understood fully an hour and a half later, as he drug himself from the room. Apparently "calisthenics" had just been a euphemism. Every one was dead tired. They worked with the "Storm Catcher" program. Peter's charge had been Jean. He made them work to get the two marks on her that they had. It had been Peter against everyone, and Peter was proud to saw, he only lost by a little. "Alright kids up to yer rooms and shower, breakfast and then school!" Wolverine called.
Peter decided he didn't want to wait for traffic to clear so he leaned to Jean and said, "Want a short cut?" She gave him a "yes" look and he grabbed her by the waist. Now while the halls were far too small to swing in, he could still jump and zip-line. Only Kitty could keep up as she didn't have to go around walls. Peter was tired, but with Jean to show off for, he wasn't about to show it. It reminded him of the first time he had met the Black Cat. It had been just after he and Gwen broke up, and he couldn't help but try to show her how impressive he could be.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!
"Alright," Matt Murdock said to his young charges, "You may not like the fact that you are back in school, but you will behave there. If I have to go to court to keep you in school I will. But I will also notify Magneto that you are attempting to deviate from my training and tutelage. I expect to see exemplary grades, especially from the one who claims to be the leader," he said this eyeing Pietro. "Now fall in to the Jeep."
Everyone crammed into the Jeep, Lance being the only one with a valid license was driving, with Wanda in the passenger seat, and the other three squeezed in back. Suddenly Matt came bounding out of the house, cane in hand, and jumped onto the step on the passenger side. "Uh, teach," Lance asked, "What are you doing?"
"I used to be a delinquent myself, so I know the best way to make sure you are at school is to be there, I am teaching Intro to Criminal Law. And I expect that you are unsuprised that all five of you are enrolled."
Three groans met his ears from the back seat. His sonar told him that Lance was wearing a smile about his face, and that Wanda was staring at him. He said nothing except, "Lets go Alvers."
WELL????? Please R/R pleeeeeease. Tell me what you think of the new spidey costume. And yes I know that Ben Riley is technically the Scarlet Spider, but I am going to borrow the name for this. Oh and tell me if you like all the pairings! See ya!
