Notes- Bad pun for the title but meh, what'cha gonna do?

The Rec Rom: Xavier Institute-

Peter Parker and the New Recruits, minus Rahne, are hanging out (some literally) in the Rec Room. Jubilee and Bobby are snuggled up on the sofa watching TV. Roberto and Ray are playing poker. Amara is playing pool with Jamie and Peter is sitting on the ceiling, upside down reading! Then Rahne walks in.

'Has anyone seen Peter?' She asks.

Behind her Peter drops to the floor silently and taps her on the shoulder. Rahne yelps in fright.

'GAH! What did ye do that f'r ye Spaleen?' She asks, holding her hand over her heart.

'Sorry Rahne.' Peter says. 'I just couldn't stop myself!'

Rahne playfully swats him on the arm.

'Ye nearly gave me a heart attack y' monkey!'

Peter holds up his hand in mock hurt.

'Oh you wound me with your words Miss Sinclair!'

Rahne just shakes her head.

'What did you want me for anyway?' Peter asks.

'I wanted tae ask ye something.' Rahne answers him.

At the sound of this all the other New Recruits stop what they're doing and look over at Rahne and Peter.

'Can I help ye?' Rahne asks the others. 'This is a private conversation!'

At that the other New Recruits make their excuses and leave.

'What did you want to ask me?' Peter asks again.

'Are ye doin' anything tonight?' Rahne asks.

'Nothing much. Why?'

'I was wondering if ye wanted tae.'

'Go out on a date?' Peter finishes.

Rahne blushes deeply and nods.

'I'd be glad to!' Peter smiles.

'Great!' Rahne squeals excitedly. 'I'll tell the Professor!'

With that Rahne skipped off to her room to get ready.

Later-

Pete is sitting in the Rec Room waiting for Rahne to come down for their date. His spider-sense starts to tingle. He turns around and sees Jubilee and Amara standing in the doorway.

'Is Rahne almost ready?' He asks.

'She'll just be a couple of seconds.' Jubilee answers him.

'We just wanted to have a word with you Peter.' Amara finishes.

'And what would that be?' Peter asks, his spider-sense tingling even more.

Jubilee and Amara fix him with evil glares.

'Lay one finger wrong and we'll rip out your spine and beat you over the head with it!'

Peter- o_0u

'Leave him alone you guys!' Rahne calls from the stairs.

'Your carriage awaits milady!' Peter says, offering Rahne his arm.

'Ye've got a car?' Rahne asks.

'Uh no.' Peter answers. 'I thought that I'd swing us the way their!'

Rahne bounces up and down excitedly.

'I cannae wait!'

'Just remember what we said Peter!' Jubilee warns him.

Peter grabs Rahne up in his arms and 'THWIP!' a jet of webbing shoots out from his wrist and they're away!

Over Bayville-

Peter and Rahne are swinging high above Bayville on a webline.

'OMIGOD!' Rahne squeals. 'I cannae believe that I'm swinging above Bayville wi' Spider-Man!'

'That cool huh?' Peter asks.

'And then some!'

'There's the cinema!' Peter says, pointing to the Bayville Movie Cinema as he throws down another webline to the roof. 'Hang on tight! We're about to land!'

Rahne squeals with excitement as they drop onto the roof. Peter then lowers them both to the ground in a nearby alley.

'Ready to go milady?' Peter asks.

'Ready as I'll ever be Peter!' Rahne says, holding onto Peter's arm. They walk into the theatre. As soon as they walk in, Peter's spider-sense starts to tingle. He looks around and sees a group of three guys standing outside. One is fat, with a Mohawk. One is squat with greeney-grey skin and the last one has a mullet.

'Who're those guys?' Peter asks. 'And why is my spider-sense going crazy?'

'That's Avalanche, Blob and Toad. They're the Brotherhood. They're bad news!'

'Looks like it's time to meet the Brotherhood!' Peter says.

'Nuh-uh!' Rahne says, holding him back. 'There's nae need tae cause trouble, not till the date's over!'

Peter just sighs and walks hand in hand with Rahne into the foyer.

After the movie-

Peter and Rahne walk arm in arm out of the movie theatre. Once again Peter's spider-sense goes off.

'What's th' matter Peter?' A concerned Rahne asks.

'There's someone in that alley!' peter answers her.

'I know!' Rahne says. 'I kin smell 'em!'

The two turn around as several figures walk out of the shadows of the alley. One of them has demonic red eyes and is wearing a trench coat, another is flicking a lighter on and off and is cackling wildly, while the last guy is tall, buff and just standing there silently.

'Bonjour mes amis!' Gambit says. 'Magneto's got an offer for y'!'

'We dinnae want anything tae do with ye an' yuir evil leader ye Spaleens!' Rahne growls.

'Uh Rahne.' Peter says. 'Who are these guys?'

'They're th' Acolytes, Magneto's lackeys!'

'I am not a lackey!' Colossus says.

Pyro just laughs madly at his lighter flame.

'Dat's a pity!' Gambit says. 'Mags was kinda wantin' the boy dere!'

'You can tell Magneto that I don't want to join your little losers' club!' Peter tells them.

Gambit smirks at Peter's bravado.

'Mag's said dat y' wouldn't see it our way so we're gonna take you to him, no matter what!'

'That's what ye think!' Rahne snarls as she turns into her wolf form and pounces at Gambit. The Cajun dodges out of the way just in time. Pyro isn't so lucky. He was so entranced by the lighter flame that Rahne collides with him, knocking to the floor. Gambit charges up a card, ready to throw it at Peter. Peter throws up a webline to Gambit, snagging his hand. Peter then pulls Gambit off his feet.

Pyro meanwhile, is met by the sight of an angry werewolf. He stumbles to pick up his lighter but Rahne swats it away, making it skitter down the alley. Colossus, in his metal form, goes to grab up Rahne. The werewolf struggles to escape his grip. Peter sees Rahne dilemma and sends a stream of webbing at Colossus, hitting him in the face. Colossus drops Rahne while he struggles to remove the webbing from his eyes. Gambit shakes his head and readies another charged card. He throws it at Peter. He dodges just in time and sends another stream of webbing Gambit's way. The webbing attaches itself to the Cajun's hand. Peter pulls Remy's arm away, causing him to drop the card at Colossus's feet. The card explodes, sending Colossus flying across the alley, colliding with a dumpster. Pyro then picks up his lighter and cackles wildly as he clicks it open, releasing a jet of flame. Peter throws up a web shield, protecting himself and Rahne from the fire.

Gambit meanwhile, sneaks up behind Rahne and grabs her up. Rahne switches to her transitional form and elbows him in the stomach. Gambit doubles over as the air is forced out of his lungs. Rahne then kicks him under then chin, knocking him out.

'Give it up Sparky!' Peter says. 'You're the only one left! Stop now before we have to kick your butt!'

Pyro just cackles wildly again.

'I'm th' one that's gonna do th' butt-kicking mate! Or should I say BURNING?'

Just as Pyro lets rip with another jet of flame, Peter shoots off another jet of webbing, webbing Pyro's hand. Peter pulls on the webline, pulling Pyro towards him. Peter then webs Pyro's other hand. Rahne then grabs the webline from Peter and repeatedly punches Pyro with his own hand!

'Stop hitting yuirself! Stop hitting yuirself!'

'Uh Rahne.' Peter says. 'I think the guy's unconscious!'

Rahne lets Pyro go.

'Are we going tae leave these guys here or are we going tae leave them f'r th' police?'

'I think we'll leave them for the police.' Peter answers her, webbing the three Acolytes together.

With the bad guys vanquished, Peter and Rahne link arm in arm again and walk out of the alley.

'What a cool first date!' Peter says. 'I think that I'll like it here in Bayville!'

Rahne just laughs as they walk down the street.

Unseen by the two young Mutants, a figure drops down to the alley and inspects the tied up Acolytes.

'Nice work Spider!' She smiles, getting up and walking out of the shadows. We then see that she has long white-blonde hair and is wearing a black leather catsuit. 'But no-one breaks up with The Black Cat!'

To Be Continued!
