Sparky Genocide: Most likely Lance was with Kitty, and why is it no one asks for Max or Tabitha? They're Brotherhood too.
The Uncanny R-Man: Well Max and Tabitha weren't there also, but I figured Lance was with Kitty at the time and yes Electro will be in the battle. Actually you might be surprised by who Peter meets later on.
Actiondude: Connors will become The Lizard but that's a little while off since I haven't planned it out fully yet, I'll get to the training, and Doc Ock will be here but not too soon, I want to spread out the Spidey villains.
EvilWhiteRaven: Damn it. The spell check should have caught that for me, I really wish I was a better spelling. And so you know I want to drag their relationship out a little, let's just say after my own version of the Sadie Hawkins dance things will heat up. You know I have no idea, for all I know she just shows up and pretends she was in class or something.
Smm: Hey thanks man, glad you enjoy it.
Supergirlhv: Hope you like it.
Emerald Knight: yeah I know, plus you got to admit that's a weird name, I mean that was my first reaction to hearing his name for the first time.
Kaliann: It took me awhile to figure out what you meant by mistake, and I didn't forget Kelly didn't you read the last chapter?
Red Witch: Going away again? What is it that's going on in your life? You travel a lot for your job or something? Well I'll try I should get another in before that.
X-Over: Well Spyder won't be in the battle she's too young and untrained to go out on missions.

CHAPTER 20: BATTLE AGAINST THE BROTHERHOOD
It was Wednesday now, a couple of days after Peter started school and things were going pretty well so far, and in fact he wasn't regretting his decision to come here. He already had more friends here then in New York, though he did still miss Harry and MJ.
They were just finished changing back into their normal clothes after their latest Danger Room session with Logan. If he didn't know any better he swore he enjoyed putting them through that every time.
"Well that went well." Evan grumbled to himself as the rest of the X-Men made their way to the main floor.
"Your not still mad about tripping over that web-line are you?" Peter asked him. "I yelled out to watch out for it."
"Yeah but you could have given us a warning before you shot that out man." He said back to him.
"Actually your both right." Scott said to them. They both turned to face their leader of the group. "Evan you should have paid more attention, and Peter you really need to improve on your team work."
Peter winched slightly. "I know you're used to working on your own but you still need to learn to work as a team." Scott continued. "But you are improving though."
Peter had to smile at that. The group made their way to the kitchen to grab something to either snack on or drink since DR was a real workout and found Aunt May already there. "Well I hope Mr. Logan wasn't too hard on you children."
"No more then usual." Kurt said to her.
She smiled at his comment. "Well I know how hard work that is so I thought I get a few things ready for you and the others." She gestured to the table and there were a pile of cookies freshly made and drinks.
"Wow like thanks." Kitty said and grabbed one and tasted it. "These are good, how come I never can get them out like that?"
Peter remembered the first time he tried to take a bite out of a cookie Kitty had made. His spider sense had gone off right before he had taken a bit and he was so shocked that when he dropped it, it didn't break, but the table had a new crack in it from where it landed though.
May went up to the girl and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Well maybe I could help you out with that this weekend, would you like that?"
Kitty brightened up at that. "Yeah that would be like so great!" The others just prayed that May could actually get the girl to cook, it would save time trying to avoid her and they already had dug several holes in the forest and dumped the food she made since they had to get rid of it without hurting her feelings. Plus for some reason the animals seemed to be frightened off from those areas too and it kind of creepy how nothing grew in those spots.
After everyone had taken a few to snack on, Kurt taking the most and claiming he needed them for the low energy he had, everyone was relaxing. "You know your Aunt is all right." Evan said to him. "But no offense I still like mine better."
Peter smirked. "Hey you got to go with family right?" Evan nodded to him.
BROTHERHOOD HOUSE
In the last week the house to Mystique's pleasure was finally cleaned up. With her there she made sure the kids actually did some of the cleaning. Plus Pietro actually doing some work made it easier. She told the boy who at first refused to do anything, even after the Max and Tabby's open season episode on him earlier he had of course gone back on his word.
So she told the boy if she didn't do anything he'd have Max shock him in his sleep so he couldn't dodge it. Plus Max being in the room giving him a savage grin with a I-would-do-it-to look pretty much nailed it home for the speedster.
Tabitha was a concern for her. She knew the only reason she was here was because she didn't want to go back to Xavier's and this was the only place that would take a mutant. She also knew that Tabitha wouldn't fight against the X-Men, but she hoped to work on that later.
Luckily she was out so now was the perfect time. She gathered the boys together in the living room. "I understand that Xavier has not one but two new students at least." She began.
"Well how come we've only seen that Parker guy?" Fred asked her.
"Well it turns out the other goes to school with that Jamie child, so she is irrelevant for now." She said to him. "Plus I'm sure all of you have heard the rumors of a spider-like person in Bayville."
Max tensed up at that. He never told anyone that he snuck out that night and actually faced him, and he was looking for a rematch. "So it stands to reason there is either another mutant in Bayville on his own, or Xavier has him."
"What you think the guy might be freaky looking like blue boy?" Pietro asked her.
"If he was why not give him a holo-watch then." Lance said sharply.
"Exactly." Mystique said. "So he's most likely not in school. So we're going to stage a little something and hope to drag out the new guys in Xavier's school, since Magneto wants a report on whoever they are and what they can do."
"So what are we supposed to do yo?" Toad asked her.
She grinned at them. "Let me tell you."
XAVIER'S
Xavier was in his office when a light he had installed went off. It was a link to Cerebro that warned him that it picked up on certain things, such as a large amount of mutant signatures being detected.
He made his way to Cerebro as quickly as he could. When he reached the domed room he put on the metallic helmet and concentrated. What he found worried him. {Logan gather the X-Men, the Brotherhood are acting up...and I detect something strange, a new member in their group but it's not reading as a normal mutant} Xavier sent to him.
Logan had already gathered most of them now he entered the Rec. Room and had found Kurt and Peter playing pool along with a few of the other kids. "Elf, Web-Head get suited up and get to the hanger." He said to them in that commanding voice that said you better get your ass in gear.
Kurt grabbed Peter and he teleported him away with him to suit up. Logan was about to leave when Spyder shot up to her feet. "Cool you mean we get to go on a mission?" She exclaimed excitedly. "Great I'll get ready!" She ran for the door but Logan grabbed her by the back of her shirt.
"Hold it right there gray girl." Logan said sternly. "X-Men only, you are NOT going." He turned around and stalked off to suit up himself.
Spyder just folded her arms and pouted a little. "That's just not fair." She muttered to herself.
CONTRSTRUCTION YARD SOMEWHERE IN BAYVILLE
The X-Men had arrived at the place where Charles told them of where the Brotherhood was but there was no sign of them. They found a place to land the Velocity, since the jet was too big for the area.
As they exited Logan had them paired off. Peter in this Spider-X uniform was with Rogue and Spyke. They moved around the area looking for anyone after about five minutes Evan was getting restless. "Come on where are these guys?" He said getting a little frustrated being out in the cold looking for the troublemakers. "Hey are you picking anything up Pete?"
"No, and don't call me by my name please, there's a reason I wear masks you know." He said to him annoyed at his slip of the tongue.
"Sorry, jeez kind of touchy on that aren't you." Evan said, but that only earned him a glare from Peter from under the mask, but Evan could tell the look he was getting. He also noticed Rogue giving him one too. They moved on to the inside of a partially completed room of a new office building.
Then his spider sense went off. "Look out!" Peter cried out, but it was too late. Peter jumped as the floor gave way from a large piece of equipment was thrown into the wooden floor causing it to collapse. He stuck to the ceiling and shot two web lines and snagged Rogue and Evan. He jumped to the side of the hole in the floor and connected the webs to the edge.
"You guys alright?" He yelled down. Luckily it wasn't too far down so if they slipped they wouldn't be seriously injured.
"Spider look out behind ya!" Rogue shouted from the line as someone was going for Peter. He sensed the attack coming and he quickly dodged to his left out of the way. He looked to see Fred, AKA The Blob standing before him.
"Well looks like I got first crack at ya." He said cracking his knuckles.
"Bring it on tubby!" Peter shouted. That only enraged Fred and he swung his fists at Peter but he easily dodged him with his superior speed and agility. Peter launched himself into a flying kick at his stomach but to his surprised not only wasn't Blob affected Peter was bounced back.
He back flipped in mid air and landed on a far cement wall sticking to it with his hands and feet. "Ha! I'm the Blob nothing can move me." Fred taunted and ran at him.
"Oh really?" Peter said. "Then I guess you don't know your physics then? Because you should know that an object in motion stays in motion." He jumped off the wall and flipped over Fred as he was over him he kicked Fred in the back of the head. Blob lost his balance and couldn't stop until he crashed through the cement wall and landed into a hole outside that was scheduled to have been filled...tomorrow that is.
"Unless that object is stopped by say a cement wall." Peter quipped to himself. He ran over and helped Rogue and Evan who had nearly managed to clime out by then. "We better check on the others." Peter said.
The others were having a tough time as it was. Quicksilver, Avalanche, Todd and Electro were giving them a really tough time. When ever they tried to get close or get out from behind cover Electro would send multiple blats of electric power at them.
Kitty had phased herself from behind Electro and ran up and tried a flying kick. Max heard the noise and when he saw her coming activated his powers around himself. He felt the kick but Kitty got a good enough jolt of power to knock herself out.
Lance heard her outcry and saw her on the ground. "Kitty! Max what the hell is with you!" He shouted at him stalking towards him.
"Me?" He shouted back. "They're the enemy you idiot, don't blame me because you picked the wrong girl to like!"
Lance started to make a small quake in his direction when he got blasted by one of Cyclops' optic beams sending him to the ground. The X-Men had taken advantage of this and were turning the tables on them. Kurt and Todd were already going at it.
Jean was had taken Pietro off the ground when he had looked over at Max and Lance arguing. She had flung him into a pile of cement sacks.
Logan tried to get close to Electro but got nailed in the chest by and electric attack. "You can't stop me!" Max cried out.
"Boy, are you conceded or what?" Came Peter's voice from above. He swung on down onto a nearby wall. "Let me guess your name...the Deadly Bulb right? How about Electricity Man? Hydro-power?
"You again?" Electro yelled out. "What's with the new look?"
Peter didn't want him to think that Spider-Man & him where the same so he figured he try something. "Sorry wrong guy, I'm Spider-X and the other spidey wanted to give you a message for dropping that building on him, in the form of an ass kicking." He sent a web blast that blinded him in the face. He tried in vain to rip the webbing off of his eyes but couldn't.
Fred who had finally managed to climb out of the small pit was also back onto the scene.
Mystique had been watching for sometime and she had seen enough as it was. She made a high pitch whistle and from the shadows she threw a device onto the ground and a blinding light exploded. The Brotherhood was told to close their eyes hard at the whistle and leave as fast as they could when the light was gone.
At the end of a few minutes everyone got their sight back. "Did we win?" Peter said looking around seeing that the Brotherhood had gone.
"Is it just me or did that seem odd to anyone?" Scott said. "Like they were testing us or something?"
"Got that impression too huh?" Logan said who was kneeling down checking on Kitty. She groaned and slowly opened her eyes. "You okay half-pint?"
"Like ouch, that really hurt." She groaned as she slowly was helped up. 'Can we go home now?"
"Yeah I think we're done here." Logan said looking around. For a minute he thought he caught a scent but it was gone too quickly. He eyed the area but shrugged it off as the team left.
