A Conversation with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man
Spider Man looked around from on top of a nearby building. He couldn't find Turbo Jet anywhere. "Great. I lost him."
"Yeah it's real hard to keep track of us speedy guys huh?" Pietro sped up next to him and stopped on a roof looking down.
"What in the world…?" Spider Man jumped and landed on another wall. "Where did you come from?"
"Well mommy once told me that I came from heaven," Pietro quipped.
"More like someplace else a lot warmer," Roberto flew up next to Spider Man.
"New York just got a whole lot weirder," Spider Man remarked. "What are you kids doing here?"
"We just wanna talk," Roberto said. "I'm Sunspot and Mr. Charming over there is Quicksilver."
"Let me take a wild guess…you're mutants right?" Spider Man asked sarcastically.
"Gee how'd you ever figure that out?" Pietro smirked. "Come on we just want to you meet our friends and talk to us for a minute!"
"Well okay…but someplace a little less conspicuous," Spider Man looked around.
"Fine follow me," Roberto grinned. "If you can keep up."
"Hello, there's a reason people call me the web slinger…" Spider Man told him as he effortlessly followed him to another rooftop where he saw the rest of the X-Men and Misfits that were at the museum. "I know who you are. You're Charles Xavier."
"Yes I am," Xavier nodded. "Let me introduce my associates."
As Xavier introduced the people Xavier could sense Spider Man's uneasiness. "Don't worry," Xavier waved. "I won't read your mind. Your identity is safe."
"Well that's a relief," Spider Man sighed. "Nothing personal but what good is a secret identity if you can't keep it a secret?"
"You shouldn't be like that though," Ray said.
"Yeah we're mutants too," Lance said. "We can keep a secret."
"Actually I'm not a mutant," Spider Man told them.
"Then how are you able to do all that stuff?" Roberto asked. "Climb walls and fight and everything?"
"I got bit by a radioactive spider," He told him.
"Fine don't tell us," Roberto fumed.
"I'm serious," Spider Man said.
"Really?" Kitty looked at him.
"It was a lab accident," Spider Man said. "Long story."
"So who's the guy in the Moon Man outfit?" Lance asked.
"His name's Turbo Jet," Spider Man explained. "He's got issues."
"I'll say," Kitty said. "I wonder what he was after?"
"Probably just robbing the place for some quick cash," Spider Man told them. "It's what he does. And unfortunately he wasn't the only crook there. There was also a lady thief named Talon and Wilson Fisk."
"Fisk? That handsome rich guy?" Fred scratched his head.
"He's also known as the Kingpin in crime circles," Low Light explained. "The philanthropy is a cover."
"Oh great just what we need," Pietro rolled his eyes. "Another super villain running around!"
"Something tells me that Turbo Jet and Talon will strike again," Spider Man told them. "I don't know if Fisk is involved as well or it's just another coincidence."
"Bet you anything it isn't," Low Light said.
"But what are they after?" Kitty asked.
"Who knows? Maybe they want to add to their modern art collection?" Fred guessed.
"I doubt it," Spider Man said.
"So do I," Xavier narrowed. "Something tells me we'd better stick around New York for a little longer."
"Yeah better call the Institute and tell them we're going to be late," Hank nodded.
"Look I appreciate the help…" Spider Man began to say.
"No problem!" Fred waved.
"We do this stuff all the time," Ray said.
"Look we should all meet at the museum later tonight after it closes," Amara suggested. "I mean that's the time when the bad guys usually pick to rob museums."
"Couldn't hurt," Spider Man sighed, resigned to the fact that he had a bunch of 'helpers' with him. "See you tonight and oh Avalanche…this time, don't make a door for him to get away huh?"
"Well this made my life very interesting," Spider Man muttered as he swung away. "As if I didn't have enough going on. At least things with Mary Jane are going…"
It then hit him that he left his girlfriend behind at the museum.
"Oh great! Mary Jane!" Spider Man raced off back to his alter ego's life.
