Sparky Genocide: Yeah JJ will be a major problem latter on. Yes it is
isn't it, kind of like when she liked Scott, nut now what if the other
guys likes her too? This chapter I think you'll find interesting.
Jaguar2100: Oh I'm just getting started too. After Lizard and everything else I got a whole bunch of other stuff on the way. Keep an eye out for it.
Joseph: I do got something planed with them so don't worry, but I got a few things I want to do first.
Kaliann: LOL, your welcome and yes he is a jerk but that's why I wanted to bring him in. Can you honestly see Spider-Man without him? It's like not having any of the famous villains, he's just one of those guys you love to hate.
Emerald Knight1: Not a problem, and I wouldn't bring in Brock if the black alien costume wasn't going to be in this fic later on.
Lord Destroyer: Yes she is, and I am bringing them both in but not at the same time, especially since I got to bring in the alien costume first before Venom can appear.
Ivan Alias: Well I try my best but I'm not the world's greatest speller, so just deal with it.
Morlin: Yeah tell me about it, the guy can't just get a break kind of like me, one of the reasons I like Peter so much I guess.
Actiondude: Yep the Lizard will soon rear his ugly head. And if you think it's bad now trying to keep Spider-Man a secret wait until a little latter on.
Ldypebsaby: Yeah he is, but you got to admit he makes things interesting.
Oceanbang: Don't worry they won't be at the same time, and no she won't she's going to be a pain herself just more of a humorous one.
Red Witch: You know it and I'm still just getting started, there is so much more I can do with this fic.
The Uncanny R-Man: Yeah after seeing the actor portray him so perfectly I used him for inspiration. Don't worry they'll get to talking.
And thanks to X-Over and bobtheheadlesschicken.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Since I'm getting so many reviews instead of cutting back I'm just responding to those that had something to say, and grouping all the rest into a thank you to save space from now on. I still appreciate all the reviews I just can't keep responding to reviews that basically say 'that's good keep it up'. It just takes up too much space so I'm grouping those together, hope you understand.
Yes this is my first fic that's gone over 300 reviews!
SPIDER-X
CHAPTER 26: JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS
Peter crawled out of bed as the alarm. He was still stiff and sore from last nights activities as Spider-Man. He had been restless and needed to get out that night. Too bad he had taken his stress out by swinging nearly all night, and he also had DR session with the others after school too.
'Not a great way to start the day.' Peter thought to himself as he got dressed.
At breakfast he downed some eggs and bacon. "Geez Peter you look like hell." Evan said seeing him. "Did you run into Electro again last night?"
Peter just muttered something unintelligible. "Like leave him alone Evan." Kitty scolded the boy.
By the time it was ready for school Peter was a little more awake and was sitting in the van with Jean up front. She seemed better then yesterday after her breakup at least to Peter, and he had to wonder if Scott had something to do with her good mood.
He saw Kurt up front humming to himself and in the back he was with Kitty and Rogue. For some reason Kitty had insisted on sitting by the window for some reason. He didn't know why it wasn't like they would roll down the windows it was still winter, even though spring wasn't far off.
He looked at Rogue. He couldn't help but notice the fragrance she was wearing and he had to admit she smelled nice. 'Damn it stop thinking that, she only sees you as a friend Peter.' He thought to himself. Even since he had met Rogue he had to admit she was a beautiful girl and he liked hanging out with her.
But with her powers he know she could never touch another person. He felt bad for her about that, but also that a few dreams he had been having lately would just be just dreams. 'You really know how to fall for the unattainable Peter. First MJ, your friend who saw you only as a friend. The Black Cat girl was hot, but she's a thief so she's WAY out. And now you like a Goth girl who can't touch and most likely sees you as just another friend.'
Peter never had been popular or had the charm it took for girls to notice him like he'd seen others do, and he just didn't have the confidence as Peer Parker. Sure as Spider-Man he could let loose and be more free, hell he had hit on Rogue when he first met her, something he would never do in his real life.
He sighed as he looked out the window. He stopped thinking about it since it was only depressing him.
Kitty on the other hand was sizing her prey up. First she wanted to get the two of them close and see if there was anything either one would do. So far she saw Peter glance a few times at Rogue and she had done the same when the other wasn't looking. She smiled to herself. Rogue could deny it but she knew there had to be something going on with the two of them.
As they go to school Peter went to his locker and put away all his books that he wouldn't need. He was about to close the locker door when his Spider sense went off. He quickly pulled out of his locker as it was slammed closed on him. He saw a hand on the locker and as he followed the arm he found himself face to face with a very pissed off Duncan Mathews. 'Great, just what I didn't need today.' Peter groaned inward.
"We got some unfinished business Parker." Duncan said angrily to him.
"Really? Like what?" Peter said trying to feign innocence.
This only served to piss Duncan off even more and he grabbed Peter by the collar and forced him into the lockers. "You know what you little geek." He said. Peter winched at the word he used, all his life he had heard names like that and this was the first time he had been called that and it still stung.
"What's going on here!" Said a demanding voice. Duncan let go of Peter and he looked and was actually surprised to see it was Principle Kelly.
'Man I never thought I would be glad to see him.' Peter thought.
"Nothing sir." Duncan said. "Just helping him up."
Kelly narrowed his eyes and studied the two boys. "Well get to class you two, or I'll give you both detentions for being late."
Duncan turned to Peter. "You'll get yours for messing with my affairs after school." He whispered to Peter. Peter on the other hand went to first period glad for the delay but now he had to wonder what else could go wrong.
It was during science class that Kitty decided to start off the next phase of her little plan. She already knew that Peter and Rogue had a kind of attraction but she wanted to see how they felt about each other.
During Connors talk about cellular mitosis the she scribbled out a note and passed it to Peter. Peter looked at it and was curious about what it said. "Peter, I need to talk to you at Lunch...alone."
Peter wasn't sure what this meant. He knew she was seeing Lance and he seemed the jealous type so she wasn't asking him to be alone to ask him out. He admitted she was cute and sweet and smart but she was just a friend to him and quite frankly all the valley girl talk and her obsession with pink and shopping was a little much.
But if that wasn't the case he wondered what was up? He shrugged and went back to listening to Doc Connors, he guessed he would just have to wait until lunch to see what was up.
LUNCH TIME
Peter got his lunch and was going over to a table with Kurt and Evan then he saw Kitty wave him over. He nearly forgot about her and decided to go and see what she wanted. He planted himself down across from her. "So what's up Kitty? What did you want to see me about?"
"Well I was just wondering about something?" She started. "I mean I noticed this thing about two friends and they obviously like each other and but like they don't seem to see it for some reason. What should I do?"
Peter hated these hypothetical questions, they were always about real people and most likely he knew them too. He also hoped the girl wasn't her and the guy him. "Uh...I say they should just get their feelings out then let what happens happen." He said with a shrug. "Then again I'm not exactly Mr. Relationship either."
Kitty thought about it. "Alright I will." Peter went back to eating when right out of the blue Kitty asked him. "So what's going on with you and Rogue?" Peter nearly coughed out his food at the question.
He took a drink to help clear his throat. "What?!" He said shocked.
"Look I need to like know if you like Rogue cause I have a feeling she is totally in to you." Kitty told him.
"Serious?" Peter said. He couldn't believe this, he wasn't sure to hope that Kitty was wither wrong or right.
Kitty smiled and nodded. "Oh yeah, so do you like her?"
Peter didn't answer at first. "Well...I kinda do, but I thought she only thought of me as you know, a friend or something." He said shrugging at his point.
"Well I think you should reconsider that." She told him. Peter didn't say anything for the rest of lunch. He had a lot to think about now. For the rest of the day Peter's thoughts were basically on two things Rogue and what to do with Duncan Mathews. He didn't know what was worse, trying to decided what to do with Rogue or how to deal with Duncan.
It didn't get any better when he was stuck in his last class with her. He couldn't concentrate on the work and his thoughts kept going to her. Okay sure she was really good looking, and she was a nice (when she wasn't pissed at you) and an interesting girl too.
And the fact he was attracted to her, but he was wondering if Kitty was right or not. If she was right then he had to wonder what their relationship would be, but if she was wrong then it might ruin their friendship too. Peter could only come to one conclusion. 'I hate my life. Why must everything always be so complicated and difficult?' He thought to himself.
After the class him, Scott and Rogue exited the place. "You guys need a ride or are you going back with Jean?" Scott asked them.
"Ah'm goin' ta hang out with Risty, so ah'll walk back." She told him. She saw him about to saw something else but she cut him off. 'Don't worry ah'll be back in time for the Danger Room session." She groaned.
"Oh...alright then. Peter?"
Peter shrugged. "I think I'll walk back thanks, it's not far." Plus he needed time to think on things. They said their goodbyes and Peter had finished packing all his stuff in his backpack and put on his winter coat.
It was finally warming up and spring was not far off, that is if winter didn't decided to fight it out. Peter was walking and just made it off of school ground when his spider sense went off. "I told you we got unfinished business." Came a familiar voice and Peter let out a groan.
He turned and wasn't surprised to see Duncan and a couple of buddies with him. Peter knew he would have to face this sooner or later, and worse was he knew he had to lose this fight. He knew he could easily take them out, but he not only had his secret as Spider-Man, but it might expose mutants. Seeing a teenager leap over nearly full-grown boys and throw them around like rag dolls, was too suspicious.
"Can we get this over quickly, I got things to do." Peter sighed in defeat.
"Fine with me." Duncan said and nodded to his buddies. Duncan threw a punch at Peter's stomach and he took the hit. He tried to roll with it and he bent over, but then one of Duncan's friends grabbed Peter's arms and held him in place as Duncan threw in a few more punches.
Now that had hurt a little. Unfortunately Peter knew they were just getting started. Duncan was about to punch again when he was kicked from behind and fell face first onto the snow. Peter looked at who would be brave or stupid enough, depending on your point of view, to stick their neck out for him.
Peter was surprised to see Hobie Brown, the guy he pulled out of his locker. 'And did he just drop kick Duncan?' Peter thought.
The others were just as surprise and Hobie just grinned slightly at them. "If your all wondering how I managed to kick jock boy like that. Well I'm a red belt in Tae Kwon Do, and the only reason I never used it on you is that I promised my father I wouldn't fight at school. But since we're not on school...well then, all bets are off."
He got into a fighting stance and Peter took the moment and stomped on the foot of the guy holding him. He was careful not to break his foot in the process and when he yelled out Peter rammed his now free arm into the guy's stomach.
Hobie fought off the other one and Peter tackled Duncan as he was ready to spear Hobie like the football player that he was. All three of the older boys were on the ground and were slowly getting up. Peter and Hobie looked at each other and picked up their stuff and ran off, knowing it was the smartest thing to do.
As they got a few blocks away and noticed that they weren't being followed they stopped to catch their break. "Hey thanks for the save back there man." Peter said through his panting breath.
"No problem, besides I owned you one." Hobie said with a smile.
"Yeah but now they might go after you again." Peter said concerned.
He just shrugged it off. "Nothing new to me, look I hate to cut this short but I promised my mom, I would get home and help her out and I'll be late if I don't hurry."
Peter smiled. "Sure no problem and thanks again." Peter walked back to the mansion, he would have ran a little more but the bruising on his ribs and stomach and all the running didn't help either. He made it home and went straight to his room and flopped onto his bed. It was about an hour later Kurt 'bamfed' into the room.
"Hey Peter get up and get changed." He told him.
"What? Why?" Peter asked trying to ignore the pain in his ribs. He really didn't want to tell one of the adults about the fight. His aunt would only be worried and he knew the adults would worry too.
"Ve have a Danger Room session remember?" Kurt said to him.
Peter winched and groaned. This his new injuries he was sure this was going to be fun. 'Yeah about as fun as asking Electro to give me electrolysis.' Peter thought as he slowly got up and went to get his Spider-X uniform. He was sure going to be sore after this and the next morning. And he still wasn't sure what to do with Rogue either. Kurt left him to chance and Peter sighed to himself.
'Will my life ever get easy or at least less complicated?' Peter silently asked no one in particular. But given his luck he decided he didn't want an answer to that, he knew he wouldn't like it.
Rogue was just getting back from her outing with Risty. It felt good to have a normal life outside this place for a little while at a time. But she knew if she didn't get to her room and change she would be late for the DR session Logan had scheduled for today. She rushed to finished changing and saw she was starting to run late so she quietly ran out of her room and nearly ran into Peter in his X-Man uniform. She wasn't sure but she kind of like the other costume a little better. But she had to admit he looked good in black. 'Stop it ya can't start thinkin' like that. It will only get ya heart broken in tha end.' She told herself in her head.
But she couldn't help but notice that the tightness of the suit showed off his well tones form and she did her best to ignore it. Peter on the other hand was thankful he had the mask on, because it his where he looked almost perfectly. He wasn't sure whether to ask Rogue out or not. They took the elevator to the lower levels together and when they got the Danger Room they found the others already there.
Peter noticed the amused look Kitty had that they arrived together and knew the girl was going to try and set them up. Logan looked annoyed, well more then usual at their lateness and when he announced that he was increasing the training lever Peter knew he would wish he was dead before this day was done.
'It's just been one of those days.' Peter thought to himself as the simulation kicked in.
