SPIDER-X
CHAPTER 9: SPYDER'S DECISION
When morning broke at least for Peter it was in the form of Scott shaking him awake. "Come on, we got an early session before breakfast this morning, and you don't want Wolverine to come and get you."
Peter mumbled something incoherent as he got up and rubbed his eyes. He looked at the clock. It read 6:30. He contemplated going back to sleep but he knew Scott was right, he didn't want Wolverine to come and drag him out.
Scott looked at him. "Didn't you sleep well last night?" He asked seeing how he looked.
Peter yawned. "Uh...just getting used to the bed, you know?" He said to him, he figured Spyder wouldn't want anyone else to know about last night so he kept his mouth shut about it for now.
He got dressed in his Spider-Man suit and tugged his mask into the belt he had under the shirt as he went to join the others. He arrived at the doors of the room to see Ray, Scott, and Rogue there all suited up.
Ray was leaning against the wall sleeping, Scott seemed too alert for Peter's tastes. "Ya gotta love morning people.' He thought sarcastically to himself. He saw Rogue there also with a not too pleasant look on her face about it either.
He took a minute to really look at her in her uniform. Last time he's seen her in it, it was at night on that roof, but in the light he had to admit she looked damn good in it. He pulled on his mask as he got closer, thankful it hide where his eyes looked.
Rogue nudged Ray awake and rubbed his eyes, then he saw Peter for the first time in his costume. "Hey, how come he gets his own suit?" He said.
The door opened and they saw Logan in there waiting for him. "Come on in kids, we're wasting time here." He said to them and they filed through. Rogue was the last to enter right behind Peter.
She didn't know why she did, but she couldn't help but check him out in his suit, it seemed a lot more skin tight in the light and really didn't leave much to the imagination. She had to admit he seemed in really good shape too, but she composed herself as Logan began to explain the morning routine.
Half and hour later Spyder woke up to a knocking sound at her door. She rubbed her tired eyes and looked around. She forgot where she was for a moment then it all came back to her. She left the bed and opened the door and saw Peter's aunt outside waiting for her.
"Good morning, I thought you should know breakfast is will be ready soon, so I though you should wash up now, while I take your clothes to the laundry room for you." She said to her.
"I'm fine, I don't need to wash up." Spyder said, but then she got a look from the older lady that said it wasn't an option. "Alright, alright I'll do it."
May's smile returned and led the young girl to the bathroom. "When you're done come on down for some breakfast." She told the young gray girl and left her to it. Spyder looked and saw a few towels already set out and shrugged. It had been awhile since she felt some sense of being clean.
After a little while she came out drying her long hair. She had to admit if felt good to get all that dirt, grime and other not so pleasant stuff off. She put the towel in a hamper next to the door figuring that's where it went.
She went down stairs and was looking for the kitchen when she caught the sent of cooking food. Her stomach growled immediately, it had been awhile since her last decent meal. She followed the smell and found the kitchen.
What she saw immediately stopped her in her tracks. There in front of her was a big blue hairy man sitting at the table drinking coffee. He noticed her and smiled. "So you must be the young girl Mr. Parker found last night. "I'm Mr. McCoy or Beast for obvious reasons." He said to her smiling.
Spyder just stared at him for a moment. "Wow, the cookie monster IS real." Beast looked a little annoyed and then she heard laughing and turned to see a very tall and dark skinned woman, with long white hair who had a hand over her mouth trying not to laugh.
"I-I-I'm sorry Hank, but you have to admit, you-you DO look a little like him." Ororo said struggling not to laugh while talking.
"Cute kid." He muttered and took out the paper and started reading. Ororo then introduced herself to Spyder and she placed a plate of food in front of her when she sat down. It looked great, especially considering what she had to eat the last few months.
Halfway through she noticed the others stagger in, looking a little tired. "What happened to you guys?" She asked them. The students minus Peter of course and Rogue since it was Kitty's shirt Spyder was currently wearing and since Rogue shared Kitty's room they had asked her for something she could wear and had explained it to her. The others were shocked to she her since no one had told them about her.
"Who's the brat?" Ray said standing next to her. To bad that was a poor choice of words since she kicked him in his shin for it. "Ow! You little!"
"Ray!" Storm warmed him.
"But she kicked me!" He said.
"No I didn't." She said sweetly and gave Ororo her most innocent look.
"Ray why don't you sit over there for now." Ororo said to him, pointing at a seat far away from her.
Rogue smirked. "Ah think ah like this kid already." She said sitting down at the small kitchen table with her. Peter joined her after grabbing a plate for him self and a glass of milk.
"I guess no one told you guys what happened last night yet huh?" Peter said to them. Ray, Scott and Jean looked to Peter for answers. He told them everything that had happened last night and his meeting Spyder.
"So...Spyder. Are you staying?" Scott asked the younger girl.
She had been thinking about it while taking the bath upstairs and she had to admit, it was nice to have a roof over her head, nice clothing, and hot food again. It was a lot better then on the cold streets, always on the move and usually going hungry.
"Well I guess so...at least for now." She said trying to sound tough and in control. "Anyways why do you guys look so tired in the morning?"
"Danger Room." Scott told her. "Logan thought it would be a good idea for an early morning training session."
"Yeah, it's basically this large room with all this stuff like lasers, saw blades, and other hazards used for different training exercises." Peter told her.
"Really? That sounds so cool, why didn't I get a chance?" She said looking around for an answer.
Ororo came up to her. "Well we thought you should get settled in first, and Hank wanted to give you a check up to see how healthy you are first."
"I guess that makes sense." She said although not entirely happy about it.
"Well look on the bright side." Storm said to her. "Since you'll be joining us, I'll be taking you to the mall for some new clothed for you to wear once your old ones have been cleaned up."
"Ya mind if ah join in? Ah wanted to check out the CD store for tha after Christmas sales, since certain stores mark down some stuff." Rogue asked.
Ororo nodded. "Sure as long as you help out with Spyder."
"Fahne." Rogue said.
"Say isn't Jean, Kurt and Kitty due back today?" Scott asked.
"Yes Kurt's plane is due to land in a few hours, Logan is going to get him and Jean will take a cab back to the Institute latter today also." Ororo told him.
Scott seemed to brighten a little up at the mention of Jean getting back. Peter noticed it and wondered if there was anything going on between the two, he'd asked Rogue later about it.
"So how many students are here or are usually here?" Spyder asked.
"Not including Peter fourteen." Ororo said to her.
Spyder was surprised at that. "Wow...any my own age or I'm I going to the youngest?" She said crossing her arms.
"No I think Jamie is your own age, but you two will be the youngest." Scott said to her.
"Great." She muttered.
