Chapter 3
Arachnid

During Spidey's time in that room, Scorpion put him to sleep, put the orb around his hand, and stuck needles into his wrists. "Now Spidey...TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR POWERS!!!!" With that, the needles dug into his web shooting bulbs on his wrists and the orb sucked the power right from him!! When Carl woke up, he was on a sinking boat about 30 yards from the shore of Liberty Island. Someone was paddling over to where he was. It was a girl who looked like she was in her twenties. Then he was asleep again.

Carl woke up and found himself in a bed. The young woman he had seen earlier was standing over him. "Ah! You're finally awake. I was starting to worry. My name is Arachnid. I can't give you my proper name. It's part of the rules," she said. Spidey just stared at her, confused. "OH! Sorry! I go to the Xavier Institute for Gifted Young Children. Well I'm more of a Professor there." "Um, ok," Carl said. "Haha! Well I guess the reason I came here was to meet you," Arachnid said. "Why?" Carl asked her. "Because I'm just like you!" "YOU MEAN YOU HAVE SPIDEY POWERS!!??" Carl exclaimed, half excited, half frightened. "Sort of...Yeah," she answered. Wow! He thought. There was someone like him and Peter! And they were part of the X- Men! "I thought the X-Men gave up fighting for people because they wouldn't accept you guys," Carl asked her. "Well we did," Arachnid told him. "But we didn't stop taking kids in!" Carl nodded. He understood now. "Where are we?" he asked. "Oops! I guess I should tell you! We are underneath the Statue of Liberty." He got up from his bed and stood up...and his mouth hit the floor. Resting inside of an ice sealed chamber was none other than...ALAN BROODMAN!!
