Sparky Genocide: Of course Electro wasn't a dumb ass (at least not
totally) remember how he built that device earlier? The guy's smart and
I wanted to reflect that. As for Lance, yeah he's going to get it big
time.
AnthonyR: Well I can't do anything about grammar/spelling, but I'll try with the length of it.
The Uncanny R-Man: Yeah I figured I would re-do a few of the episodes with Peter in them. Yep and look out for Kingpin to show up sometime in the future too, but not too soon.
EvilWhiteRaven: Yeah I saw it on the first night, way better then the first. I'll get to the dance later on after the Mesmero incident.
Supergirlhv: Yeah I figured what's the point in a secret identity if the bad guys know about it.
Ldypebsaby: Hope you had a good time, and as for Spyder and Peter, yes there will be coupling later on but I want to build on it. And hopefully the Brotherhood don't find out Peter's secret.
Kaliann: Glad you found it, and you bet it is, in fact Peter in the comics once went out as 4 different heroes for a time.
Red Witch: I was wondering what happened with that? I don't see what kind of rule you could have broken for that, well that sucks.
X-Over: I hope you like what I got in store for Spyder.
SPIDER-X
CHAPTER 21: SPYDER'S DAY
Well it was a normal day so far. It was a Friday and she was glad for it too. Actually going to school was a chance in her life, it had it's ups and downs but she was grateful for it since she finally had something of a normal life.
She had another nightmare that night about her uncle. She wondered if she would ever get over it. She had asked Peter that morning and he said they do go away but he still got some about his own uncle from time to time.
She felt slightly better after that. She liked Peter, he was kind of like the big brother she never had, and not just because they had similar powers (Although it was kind of cool) it was also because she felt she could relate to him more.
School that day was the same old, and she couldn't wait to get back home. Especially since they had Danger Room session. She liked the sessions because she knew how important for her to learn to use her powers, plus she wanted to gain more control and get stronger.
Her webbing still took too much out of her and she was worried that she would never learn to use it right. In fact she had several goals, first was to improve her use of it, secondly was to use it without draining her, and lastly she wanted to know if she could use it like Peter's and swing from them.
Ever since that night she saw a use for her webbing that she hadn't thought of before, and it was incredible and she wanted to do it herself...only it seemed so far off lately. She and the other girls in the New Mutants were suiting up.
Her own suit had no gloves since her webbing came out of her finger tips, gloves would just get in the way, plus she wouldn't be able to stick to anything. She also wore no boots and the bottom of the feet were like Peter's costumes, with little material on the bottom so it wouldn't interfere with her abilities.
"Do any of you girls know what Mr. Logan has in store for us?" She asked them as they were finishing up.
"Nae but I wish I did." Rahne admitted. Rahne was one of the girls that Spyder liked best, she was fun, always ready to do anything.
"Whatever it is you can be sure that we'll most likely be sore after it." Amara said after putting on her boots. Amara however seemed a little too stuck up for Spyder's taste. Okay so she was a princess, and was royalty so she guessed it went with the territory.
The other girls she guessed were okay. Jubilee was a bit too obsessive with shopping like Kitty was, but other then that she was fine, and actually pretty fun herself. After they finished up they met up with the guys in the Danger Room.
"Alright listen up." Logan said to them in this brown and black uniform. "This exercise is to see who can get to the other end of the corridor in the fastest time. You get points for taking out targets and for helping others." When he saw them ready he looked up at the control room with Ororo in it and nodded.
She activated the simulation. A corridor rose up from the ground and turrets with targets on top of them came from the ground. "Alright....GO!" Logan shouted and they all took off. Sypder concentrated on trying to dodge the attacks.
She my not have the agility that Peter had but she was quick and all those years of training with her uncle were starting to pay off. Then she Rahne go into her wolf form and just made a dead run to the end trying to just get the fastest time.
Sam was right behind her flying through the air. Roberto was charging through as well. Ray, Amara and Jubilee were going for the targets since they weren't as fast as the others. Spyder knew she needed to make up for points so she launched her electric webbing at the targets.
Not all of them hit, since she was still learning to aim properly and she was getting frustrated. She used more and more trying to rank up points but then she realized that she had used too much before it was too late to stop. All that webbing had taken a toll on her and she found she couldn't run anymore and then just dropped to her knees.
She tried to move but her muscles just didn't want to work. She was one of the turrets aim right for her. 'This is going to hurt.' She thought but then she found herself moving. She looked to both sides and found two Jamies were carrying her to the finish line.
She made a mental note to thank him later. They eventually arrived at the end and Logan signaled Ororo to shut it down. He walked up to Spyder who Jamie had set down. She was sweating and could barely stand. "You alright kid?" He said to her you had to strain to hear any concern in the voice since he covered it up.
"Just...used....to...much...webbing." She eventually got out.
Logan frowned. "Kid your whipped, take the rest of the session off and go see Hank."
"No! I...can do it." She tried to stand but her legs were wobbly and she nearly fell.
"Uh huh." He said. "Go and see Hank now Spyder, and I mean it."
Spyder did managed to get to the infirmary, refusing any help at all, but was still tired. Hank was there and looked her over just in case she had pushed herself too far. It took thirty minutes for him to compete his tests, the time she spent laying down trying to regain her energy.
After that Hank told her she could leave. She changed back into her normal clothing and ended up in the kitchen getting something to drink. She slumped down on the chair, and after she had finished just played slightly with the cup.
She felt like she let down Mr. Logan and the others, and herself. She was pretty much depressed at that point, looking at the empty glass as she rested her head down on the counter under her arm.
May came in and found her like that. She walked over to the young girl. "What's wrong dear?"
Spyder jumped slightly. She hadn't noticed May come in at that moment. "Oh nothing...I just fell like I'll never get anywhere with my powers. I mean how can I do any good if I can't even get through the training sessions without draining myself? I just want to be able to use my webbing and not feel like I just ran a marathon and, and...I just suck." She ended and put her head back down.
May placed a hand on the girl's back. "No you don't, you just need time to learn to use it."
"That's what everyone keeps saying but that could take forever." She muttered to herself. She got up and placed the glass in the sink. "I'm going to my room, I got some home work to do."
May knew that Spyder was really feeling awful about not being able to compete on the same level of the students. She wondered if there was any way to help her when she got an idea.
She walked around and found Xavier in the library. "Charles my I talk to you?"
He put down a book he was reading. "Of course what is it you wish to talk about?"
She sat down across from him. "It's about Spyder. Lately she seems to have trouble with her powers and feels she never will get a hold of them."
Xavier sighed a little, he too had been thinking about that. "Yes, I believe she could use some help in that department."
"Well I have an idea." May said smiling slightly. "You know how when children learn to rid a bike they get training wheels?" Xavier lifted and eye brow wondering where she was going with this.
It was a couple of days later and Syder was studying in her room. {Spyder would you come to the Danger Room please} she heard Xavier say to her in her mind. It was still a little creepy when he did that but she went there.
'I wonder if I need to chance?' She thought.
{No, don't worry about it.} Came a replay.
"I'm really starting to hate telepaths." She muttered. She found Peter in the Danger Room along with Xavier and May. "So what's up?"
Xavier smiled at her. "Well May had an idea to help you with your powers." He handed her a box that was on his lap. "With Peter's help of course."
She opened the case and her eyes went wide as she looked in. In it were a pair of silver looking web-shooter only smaller, in fact they look like they would fit her. She looked up at them. "Yes they're yours." Xavier said to her. "Peter here will teach you how to maintain them and to use them."
She put them on immediately smiling the entire time. She looked to May and ran over to her and hugged her. "Thanks." She said. May hugged the girl back.
"So Spyder you ready for your fist lessons?" Peter said grinning.
She turned to face the older boy with a grin of her own. "You bet I am."
May decided to leave them to it and Xavier oversaw their little exercise. Maybe she was useful around here after all she mused to herself. For the first time since coming here she felt she had really helped out.
Before she left she took one more look back and smiled seeing Spyder. She looked to be having the a great time and was happier then she had been in days.
