CHAPTER 6: A SPIDER, A LIZARD, AND A VAMPIRE, OH MY

Peter Parker AKA Spider-Man was currently web swinging, through New York.

Ever since Dr. Connors' disappearance he checked the place after the cops left. The lab was trashed, and he saw the claw marks of something he hoped he never see again. After looking through the notes that were still left and going through what he was working on he knew The Lizard was back.

He was also lucky that New York's finest didn't know what was going on, or would understand what was on the notes, so they didn't take them for evidence.

Then the animal attacks started. He knew that The Lizard was an uncontrollable animal, okay a freaking huge and ferocious animal, that tried to more than once to eat him.

But he couldn't remember the Lizard going after so many people, there were already seven different victims. It seemed strange, usually the Lizard would hold up somewhere and stakes his territory and stays there.

These attacks however were all over Manhattan. Not his style at all.

Which was way on a Saturday night he was out on the town looking for a giant scaly lizard most likely in a trashed up lab coat, instead of out on a date.

Yeah right, who am I kidding. MJ moved to this new school for actresses out of sate, Felicia and I broke up and she left for Europe or somewhere, although if the Mona Lisa gets stolen by someone in a cat suit, I think I'd know where she was.

Peter sighed to himself. Things could definitely be better. It was nearing midnight and the only things he had done was stop a few muggings, a couple of break-ins, someone trying to boost a car, and of all things a stickup from a guy in a clown suit.

Only in New York, Peter thought to himself. He was about to try the other part of Manhattan, when his spider-sense kicked in. He looked around to see where it was coming from. It seemed that an alley was the spot.

He swung over causing a person near the alley to run like hell away from him when he saw Peter. 'I really need to get a PR person.'

He jumped into the alley, his spider-sense was going off like crazy now. "Okay scalely I know you're here, and I know you know I'm here, so let's just forget the standard fight for once. I mean come on you know I'll always win the finale round, so come on the easy way...please?"

Just then his spider-sense went into overdrive and he leaped onto the wall avoiding an attack. 'Way do they always HAVE to do it the hard way. I bet Daredevil dosen't have to put up with this.'

"You spoiled my meal spider." Said a voice from the shadows.

"Okay....that didn't sound like the Lizard." Peter said, for one thing when The Lizard did have the ability to speak it had a vary reptilian style to it, suck as he would say sssspider, not just spider.

Then what ever it was seemed to fly up to Spider-Man, and grabbed him. They both continued to fly upward, and Peter was just able to get out of his grasp, and fall to the rooftop.

On closer inspection from the light of the city he could see this treat a little more clearly. Whoever, or whatever it was, was dressed all in black, with a black leather trench coat, he couldn't make out the face, because it was obscured by long dark hair.

"I need to feed and if I need to spider, I will feed on you!" and then lunged at Peter with great speed. Peter was barely able to dodge the attack, and then the back-hand by tall dark and scary.

Peter got in a punch that seemed to stager him, then he threw his head back and saw the face for the first time, as the hair was sent to the back. His face was pale, had red eyes his nose looked almost bat-like and had two fangs.

If Peter had to guess he'd say that he was looking at a vampire, and a familiar looking one too. They continued to brawl then it hit him why he looked so familiar.

"Michael? Michael Morbius?" He asked.

He stopped. "How do you know my name?"

"Morbius what happened to you?" Peter asked him, shocked that this 'vampire' was someone he knew, and was most likely the one who was really responsible for the killings. "Why are you doing this, you're a smart man, you were going to be a scientist."

Morbius took a step back. "I made a mistake, and it cost me. I can't help it, I NEED to feed, it needs to be fresh, it needs to be human, I can't live without it. If certain people need to die in order for me to live, then so be it."

"You can't mean that." Peter said horrified.

"I do, survival of the fittest." Morbius said then took to the air, and left Peter just standing there, he snapped out of it, and tried to chase him down but Morbius was just too fast in the air, and he lost him.

'Oh yeah, my life could definitely go better.' Peter thought to himself.

Back in Bayville it had been a few days since Amanda began her training. She was getting the hang of teleportation pretty fast, and her force bolts were also coming alone, though there were a few incidents.

Sometimes she ended up in the wrong room, and it took her a while to actually hit her targets. Vincent had set up a group of cans for her to shot at, and it took a few tries before she hit it. He said that when she could hit a stationary target she would move on to moving and hitting a bulls eye targets.

That and she seemed to eat almost as much as Kurt now, the Professor told her that her powers used up a lot of energy and her body needed to keep up with it. Although the fact that she could eat whatever she wanted and not have to worry about gaining weight, was a big plus for any girl.

She was currently walking around with Kurt on her arm. They were taking a break today, since Vincent was working with Rogue to help her control her strength, and was a little busy, so after her teleportation training, Kurt asked her if she wanted to go out to get some ice cream.

They were happily on their way, when they were rudely interrupted. "Well- well-well, looks-like-we-got-furball-and-his-human-play-mate." Pietro's voice said to them. They looked to their left and there were Pietro, Todd, and Fred.

"Oh great vhat do you guys want?" Kurt groaned.

"What we can't just say high." Pietro said with a smirk on his face.

"Just leave us alone." Amanda said to them. Pietro zoomed up to her.

"Now why are you going out with this furry loser? Why not a girl like you go out with a good looking guy?" He said to her.

Amanda scowled at him. "Kurt's better looking than you on his worst day, and I don't go out with jerks!"

"Oh come on you don't really mean that do you?" Pietro said drapping an arm around her shoulder. She threw it off as soon as he put it on.

"Leave her alone!" Kurt shouted, getting ready to pound him into the ground, no matter how fast he could move.

"Hey I'm just kidding around here blue boy." He quickly said. "I mean I wouldn't go out with her anyways, I mean if she'd go out with a blue freak like you she is definitely one messed up human."

Amanda had had enough of this, and was going to shut him up. "Try this on for a 'human'. She growled at him, then landed a force bolt fight into him, causeing him to fly back into Fed.

"Whoa! Since when can she do that yo?" Todd said surprised.

"Uh guys I don't think she's human, I think she's one of us." Fred said helping Pietro up.

"Gee ya think!" Pietro shot at him, then glared at Amanda. "Since when can you do THAT?"

Amada just glared at them and also Kurt did to. "Well that's none of your business, and for the record I can do more than that, so just leave us alone or else you'll find out. And if you ever talk to Kurt that way again I'll give you a force bolt right where guys feel it the most."

They weren't sure what she meant at first then it hit then, and they mentally winched at that. Even Kurt did when he realized where she meant.

"Uh guys I think we should go, we got better things to do." Todd said to them.

The other two nodded and slowly walked off, Pietro glaring the entire way.

Little did they know that a man who was from the FOH was following them from a distance, his orders where to follow and observe the girl and her family. He left to report in what he had found out.

****

Back in New York Peter was thinking about his problems. First off the research he had from Dr. Connors' showed some new type of mutation, which was why the Lizard resurfaced and he still needed to find him. Secondly he also had to deal with Morbius, and lastly he needed help.

This was just too much, I can't look for Connors, and Morbius and also find a cure to them, I don't even know what happened to Morbius.

Peter sat down and thought about his options. There weren't many, especially those that could help. Dr. Strange was busy, he checked earlier since vampires most likely are not in the science field, unless he slept during that class.

Daredevil stays in Hell's Kitchen, and this is not the kind of thing he does.

Peter thought he also needed an expert in mutation to help him find the cure. Wait a minute. Peter wondered if that Xavier guy could help. He was one of the world's experts on mutation for a reason.

Well Peter thought looks like I'm heeding to Bayville.

Kurt and Amanda were walking home after the Brotherhood, they did go for the ice cream but the mood was pretty much shot.

"Amanda I have to ask." Kurt hesitantly said to her. "Vhy are you vith me, I'm not exactly normal, and..."

Amanda cut him off. "Kurt stop that, I care about you, not because of your looks, although I do think you are cute without the image inducer on. But your also the greatest guy I know. I've...I've only liked two other boys before you and they didn't...work out." She said sadly.

"Vhy." He asked her.

"First of there was Roy, I had a huge crush on him. So one day I went up to him, at first he acted all nice then when I asked him out...well let me say that he was just playing with me, and he has more in common with those FOH people. He said the cruelest things to me, I was so hurt I actually ran home crying."

Kurt couldn't believe someone could be so cruel to Amanda.

"Then a few months before you showed up I got out of a relationship with someone named Blake. He seemed like a nice guy at first then, he asked me out and I said yes. For a few weeks everything was fine, then as time went on he got vary jealous and controlling."

"Sometimes he would grab my arm so hard I would end up with bruises on them. Then one day I didn't want to go to this place with him and his friends and he got angry with me. He hit me across the face."

"I went to my father and he was furious I called him over the phone and told him it was over. He came over to our home later and wanted to see me but my father got to him first."

"I don't know what he said to him, but Blake left me alone, and I'm glade. That's one of the reasons why I'm with you Kurt. You're kind, gentle and caring, nothing like then those two."

Kurt was speechless. He never knew about any of this, he placed his arm around her holding her close. "I vould never harm you liebchen." Kurt said caringly.

She smiled up at him and reached up and caressed his cheek with her hand. "I know." She kissed him gently on the lips and they walked on hand in hand.

They came upon her home and they say something was wrong there was a car in the driveway she didn't recognize and also the door was opened.

AS they got closer they heard shouting and they both ran inside. There they saw several men in ski masks with a variety of blunt weapons, one had a baseball bat, a lead pipe, and other things. Amanda Also saw her father on the floor, with blood on his head, her mother bent over him.

One of them noticed them come in. "There she is the freak!" A few of them made their way to them and Kurt leaped at them. He kicked two of them in the chest sending them flying into their friends.

Amanda went to her parents while Kurt did his best to fend off the intruders. "Mom is he okay?" She asked her mother worried about her father.

Her mother was cradling her arm. "I think he's alright he's still breathing."

Suddenly there was one of the men above them and he was swinging a pipe towards them. "Leave us alone!" Amanda shouted and sent a force bolt into him. He flew back into a fall and groaned.

Their buddies grabbed him and decided to leave. As soon as they were gone Kurt went over to them. "Is everyone alright?" He asked.

"My mother's arm is hurt and my father is unconscious they need help Kurt." She said to him.

Just then there were several crash sounds from glass breaking, and other sounds of explosions. The window near then smashed in a moltov cocktail was thrown in and burst into flames. Suddenly there was fire everywhere.

Kurt looked at Amanda and she grabbed her mother while Kurt grabbed her father and teleported out and onto the ground. They saw the car pull away and speed off.

"Kurt he needs help." Amanda said looking at her father. "Do you think you can get him to Mr. McCoy?"

"Why not a hospital?" Her mother asked.

"For all we know those guys either could work in a hospital or have friends there, and I want him to be safe." Amanda told her. Margali nodded her head.

Kurt took her father and they both disappeared. They both waited for the fire department and the police to arrive.

They did come but by the time they came their house already couldn't have been saved. The police took their statements and Amanda went with her mother to the hospital. Her mother ending up getting a cast on her arm.

By the time they got the Institute it was already dark out. They got to the med lab and found Kurt and McCoy were there waiting for them.

"How is he?" Margali asked.

"Well he took a nasty blow to the head, but he should recover." Hank said, Margali thanked him and sat down next to her husband.

"How are you doing Amanda?" Kurt asked her. She threw herself into his chest crying. "It's all my fault, they were there because of me I know it. It's my fault what happened to my family."

"Nein that's not true." He gently told her.

"Listen to him Amanda." Her mother said. "I don't blame you, I blame those men that came into our house those are the ones responsible."

Amanda didn't know what to say, so she just let Kurt hold her and found comfort in his arms.

New York City

Abandoned tunnels

"Why the Hell are we down here?" One man said.

"Because there's some kind of mutant freak down here" The bigger one said.

"Yeah says you." Another said. "You're the only one that saw this thing."

"I'm telling you it was a GAINT lizard!"

"Yeah, yeah, are you sure you didn't see a alligator or something?"

"For starters those are a myth and they're supposed to be in the sewers not in tunnels!"

"Yeah well-"He was cut off from a loud growl. "What...was...that?"

Then out jumped the Lizard.

"See I told you guys...guys?" He looked back and saw them all running for them, then he felt hot breath on his neck and a growl. He slowly turned and was face to face with the scaly face of the Lizard.

The man screamed and the Lizard turned around fast and hit him with his tail sending him flying into the air. When he got back up he bolted to his friends and The Lizard gave case.

In the darkness you could hear the terrified screams of men as they ran for their lives for miles down the tunnels.
