Ivan Alias: I'm doing more of a comic version of Bullseye this time around.
Joseph McKinley: Thanks, and no Brock isn't Venom...yet and the Lizard hasn't showed up yet either but it's close.
The Uncanny R-Man: Oh yeah you know I like to do things big sometimes. No Daredevil planned maybe some other time since he stays in Hell's Kitchen.
Sweegy: No the girls won't attack Spider-Man, why would they? They know who's under that mask. As for the other questions just read on and you'll see.
Actiondude: Thanks all around but Daredevil will not show up, I got no plans as of yet for him.
Oceanbang: Yeah I figured Spyder should join in on the fun too. And Peter and the girls will run into each other.
Episodic: I'll try and keep it to the spirit, but with Bullseye things are going to get hectic. You really don't like Scott do you.
Emerald Knight1: No DD in this story so far, and when Bullseye meets them things are going to get dangerous.Lord Destroyer: Damn, okay I'll try and do this in order. Spidey has fought Bullseye before so I added him to the mix, no DD this time around, of course Eddie will eventually become Venom but not for a while. Spyder is 14 so I think she's old enough, plus she's a tough girl. As for Rogue, you'll see in this, and Max/Tabby's relationship will get a little rocky.X-Over: Sorry no DD or Electra, and I'm still thinking on how/when Peter should tell them.
slickboy444: Yes he does doesn't he? And the Kingpin's presence will be felt from time to time.
Morlin: Who said anything about Daredevil? I just needed someone the Kingpin could send to Bayville and he was the best choice. Besides Tombstone doesn't work for Fisk so I couldn't use him.
Ldypebsaby: Glad you liked Fisk's intro, and yes the girls will meet up with him.
psychobunny410: I'll think about that character after I look it up (Where can I find that character?). And you know Wanda will cause trouble for everyone.
And thanks to: Rei4, KaliAnn, Sparky Genocide, Arain Rowan, celtcath74, Red WitchAN: This fic just got to the 400 mark and is officially my most reviewed story ever! THANK YOU ALL!
SPIDER-X
At the main bus station of Bayville a tall and athletic man with short blond hair stepped off the bus. He went to get his bags from the compartment on the side of the bus. He got his suitcase and duffle bag. He walked to the main street on the city and looked around.
"Man what a dump." The man said. "I can't believe Jameson sent me right here." The man was Eddie Brock an up and coming (at least in his opinion) at the Daily Bugle. He didn't like having to be sent to this city on what he considered a wild goose chase but Jameson made it clear he wanted to know what was going on.
He mentally compiled a list of things to do. First was to find a motel or something, then try and find out information on this assignments then start to check out the areas in this city that had the highest crime rate, chances were he would find one if not both of them there.
On the other side of town a motorcycle just stopped at the edge of the city limits. The rider was clad in a trench coat and had on a helmet with a dark visor on. He looked at the sigh that read 'Welcome to Bayville' on it and smirked under the helmet.
He saw a small stone in the gravel by the road the size of a dime, he leaned down and picked it up. He took the stone in his fingers and threw it at the sign and it stuck right in the letter O of the welcome part of the sigh perfectly.
He smiled to himself and gunned the engine and took off to find the Kingpin's businesses and to see if the Sirens would show up there or not.
INSTITUTEPeter was just leaving the grounds in his Spider-Man suit but from where he was he saw Scott and Kurt in Scott's car by the fence outside. He was a little curious why there were there and looked like they were waiting for something.
Then both boys ducked down and he saw Jean, Amara, Rogue, Kitty and Spyder with her holowatch on seem to slip out of the front gates. He was wondering what was going on then he saw Lance's jeep pulled up only she swore that was Tabitha driving.
The girls climbed into the seat and he saw them go off in the other direction from where he was and then Scott and Kurt went after them. 'What is going on?' He wondered. He thought about following them but considered against it since Scott seemed to be trying to figure out what was going on so Peter figured on asking him later about it and went off to look for some trouble to stop.
Later that night Peter was swinging through the city, so far it had been quiet.
BOOM!
'Ya know, you would think I would learn to expect stuff like that happening by now.' Peter sighed and went to the direction of the noise. He perched himself on a building but saw that things were already being taken care of by what he guessed were the Sirens that he had heard about.
Even in the dark and in across the street he could tell it was the girls. First off he saw Lance's jeep and the powers were a big tip off too. Even in the different clothing hr could make them out as they stopped what looked like a break and entering.
Peter chuckled to himself at the poor bastards the girls were giving a major butt kicking. He saw he wasn't needed and was about to leave when a flash caught his eye from below him. He saw a man with blond hair and a camera taking pictures. 'Oh crap this isn't good.' Peter thought to himself.
Eddie Brock however couldn't believe his luck so far. He already had a few shots of these Sirens and what he had on film showed some amazing abilities that couldn't be human. He was about to get a group shot when something snagged his camera from his hands and went up into the shadows in the alley behind him.
"Hey! Give that back!" He said angrily at the darkness.
"Man, don't you Paparazzi got lives or something?" A voice said from the darkness.
Brock took offence to being called that. "Hey buddy I'm a reporter for the Bugle not some loser camera carrying wannabe."
"Oh my bad." And Brock was shocked when someone in a red and blue costume came out of the darkness...while on the wall the entire time. He threw the camera back and Brock who caught it.
"You're that Spider right?"
He sighed at that. "It's Spider-Man, Spider-Man how difficult is it for people to remember that?"
Brock smiled at his good fortune. "Well Spider-Man...say cheese!" Peter was suddenly blinded for a moment from Brock who quickly took a shot of Peter. When his vision clear he saw that the camera guy was gone. He sighed to himself and from his belt under his costume pulled out a small canister.
"I wonder how long it will take him to realize I took the film out of the camera?" He asked to himself amused then crushed the canister and made a three point shot with it in a nearby public garbage can and went off.
Bullseye made his way to the chop shop at the east end of town. After looking in to the other businesses that were still running this was the last on his list to check out. And a good thing he did too. There was a Jeep and a red convertible not far away that seemed out of place to him.
Plus the sounds of a battle going on inside got him curious. He got off his bike and pulled it into an alley that wasn't well lit enough to show his bike. He silently moved his way to a window. He saw several girls fighting the thugs and winning. He studied them and saw them use abilities that he rarely came by.
Normally he did face the odd person with strange abilities but to have so many in one place was interesting to him, he studied their moves and powers as the girls struggled. He saw a fire start and go to the car that had the crew boss in the truck. He noticed a beam hit it and looked to the source and saw an older boy with some kind of visor and a blue...something with him.
He had seen enough and planned to intercept the girls as they left.
The girls however after having that cop let them go were on their way home. "Well that was intense." Spyder said to them.
"Yeah tell me about it." Kitty agreed. "I mean that was close, they nearly had us with that trap."
"Oh come on guys it wasn't that bad, we got out and kicked their butts." Tabitha said to them trying to encourage them. A sound of a motorcycle was heard and then passed them. "Man what's his hurry the streets are dead tonight." Tabby muttered.
Then the biker seemed to throw something at them and one of the tires blew. Tabitha was surprised by this and tried to keep the jeep on the rode but she had never tried to drive with a blown out tire and the jeep slammed into the street light and the girls jerked forward.
After a moment the girls staggered out of the Jeep, they were basically fine and the Jeep caught the light at an angle and not dead on so it was still able to run, but the one tire was useless and a couple of hubcaps had fallen off.
"Everyone all right?" Jean asked. The girls gave their own, okay they were slightly bruised but luckily fine. Then the biker came back to them and got off the bike.
"What the Hell is your problem pal?" Tabitha shouted at him.
The man laughed and removed the coat and hat and revealed a black and white body suit with a target like symbol on the chest and head and they also saw he was armed with an assortment of weapons. "The name is Bullseye and you girls have caused my employer enough trouble, so I've been sent to deal with you all."
"Oh yeah!" Tabby said stepping forward. "Deal with this!" She threw a few time bombs but the man with his foot flipped up one of the missing hubcaps and used it to bat the bombs back at the girls. They all scattered as they exploded near them.
"Something tells me this guy isn't a pushover." Amara said getting up.
"You got that." He said grinning at them.
Jean got up and glared at their assailant. "Well we're not pushovers either." She lifted her hand and Bullseye was lifted off his feet but he didn't seem to be surprised by this move.
"I figured you'd try something like this." Bullseye smirked and reached behind his back and pulled out a small round grenade. "Hey red! Think fast!" He pulled the pin with his hand and threw it right at her. Jean immediately focused on the grenade and put a shield around it just as it exploded.
The explosion was mainly contained but the force of it took a lot of concentration and Bullseye took this opportunity and threw one of the fighting sticks at his leg right at her and hit her dead center between the eyes knocking her out.
Nearby Scott noticed the explosion and speed up the car, and Peter a few blocks away also noticed it and decided to see what was going on.
Amara meanwhile was trying to throw a few fireballs and Spyder with her electrical webbing at him, but he kept on dodging them. Tabitha was helping Rogue moved Jean aside. Bullseye had had enough and after jumping over one of Spyder's webbing he threw the hubcap he still held like a discus and it sail and not only hit Amara in the head but it ricocheted off her head and hit Spyder on her knee causing her to fall to the ground.
He turned his attention to Kitty and but a blinking light hit him. He dodged out of the way as a red convertible nearly ran him down.
Scott and Kurt got out of the car. "I don't know who you are but these are friends of ours." Scott said coldly to the assassin. Bullseye could only grin at the X-Man leader. Scott sent a blast but he flipped over it and while in the air pulled out a knife and sent it right at Scott's visor.
The blade luckily didn't get far, but it was deep enough to crack the ruby quartz enough for his power to start leaking out. Scott gave off a panicked outcry and then the quartz shattered as the full force of the blast came out and then destroyed the visor. Scott had to close his eyes shut right after.
Kurt teleported in front of Scott as he fell to his knees. He lunged at Bullseye but he expertly dodged Kurt's attacks and slipped in a quick punch to Kurt's gut knocking the wind out of him. "Kurt!" Kitty screamed out in concern for her friend she ran to him.
Bullseye did a flying kick at her but she phased right through him. Bullseye however when he landed, turned to look at the girl with an enraged expression on his face. "I HATE it when people make me miss." He hissed out. He pulled out two slim knifes and make his way to the two of them.
Spyder had gotten up and tried to fired from both web-shooters but Bullseye had noticed her getting up and back flipped over the streams and in the air threw the knifes. Spyder let out a yelp and her heart seemed to stop as she saw the knifes impale at her wrist. Luckily she saw they were imbedded in the nozzles.
She looked up just in time to see Bullseye nearly at her but he was suddenly knocked away by a fast red and blue blur. Spyder was relieve to see Peter at that moment and too the time to try and pry off the daggers.
Bullseye looked at Spider-Man and grinned. "Well, looks like I get to kill two birds with one stone, although my personal best it four with that little trick."
"Okay tall dark and psycho why don't we just do this the we easy way for once." Spider-Man said to him forcefully.
He merely scoffed at him. "Let's not and say we did." Then he pulled several surikens and threw them at him. Peter tried his best to dodge the attacks and thought he managed to dodge them all but felt a sharp pain on his left arm. He glanced and saw he was cut.
Bullseye made a move at Peter but was lifted off the ground by an invisible force. He turned to see Rogue lifting her hand at him. She had taken a little of Jean's power since she was still out, and Tabitha was looking after her.
Peter got an idea and webbed up the ground. "Drop him on the webs." Peter shouted and Rogue did just that. When he landed he tried to move but his feet were stuck on the webs. Peter looked to Spyder. "You're up."
She looked at her ruined web-shooters but understood what he meant. She fired her electric ones in a wide arc with a large power behind them. Bullseye tried to get himself free but it was too late and he gave out a cry of pain as he fell back knocked out from the electrical power contained in her webs.
Spyder slumped to the ground tired from the large amount of power and everyone was getting slowly up from the battle.
While Spider-Man had webbed up Bullseye, Jean had come around in time to help use her powers to quickly put on the spare tire on the jeep. Tabitha offered them a ride but Jean told her she needed to drive Scott's car since he couldn't see at the moment and would take the others home.
"Well I think I better get this home." Tabitha told them. "Man...Lance is going to kill me." She groaned then looked to Spider-Man. "By the way I love that costume and thanks for the assist." Then she started the jeep and went back to the Brotherhood home.
Jean was had to squeeze everyone in the car but as Rogue went Peter gently touched her arm. "Rogue could we talk, I really need to talk to you know before I loose my nerve."
She gave him a curious look then looked to Jean. "Go on I'll catch up."
Jean nodded and took off, the sirens of police cars could be heard and Peter took hold of Rogue and climbed up one of the buildings.
When they got to the top he couldn't help but stare now that he had a chance at seeing her in that siren clothing. 'Damn she looks hot in that-whoa there Peter, focus here.' He thought to himself.
"So Rogue..." Peter said sitting down on the ledge next to her.
"Look ah know you think we're hoggin' in on your territory but after what just happened ah think ah'll quite if that's what your worried about." She said flatly.
"Huh? Oh no I wasn't thinking that, in fact I'm the last guy who should criticize you girls for doing what you did." Peter told her, she had to smirk at that.
"Peter I know we started doing this to use our powers for something, and it was exhilarating but is that shy you do it? Ah've been wondering why you do this?" She said seriously.
Peter sighed. "It's...not easy. Let's just say I did nothing and someone paid for it. I was told that with great power comes great responsibility, and I didn't...I do this because every time I go out I safe someone from the kind of pain of loss that me and my aunt go through. If I can save others from that then it's worth it. I can never take back what happened, but I did learn from it."
Rogue couldn't figure out what exactly happened but she knew he was hurt deep by what it was. "Oh Peter ah'm sorry ah didn't know." She placed a hand on his arm and she saw him flitch slightly. "Peter what-oh god!" She said seeing some blood on her gloved hand. She looked closer and saw a cut on his arm.
It was hard to see without much light and the red of his costume. "It's just a scratch." He said but she didn't listen, she looked around for something and looked in her pockets and found something nearby. It was a piece of ripped cloth that was blown on the roof.
"Ah hate ta use somethin' like this but ah need ta stop the bleeding." She fussed and tied it around his arm, he winced a little and she looked it over. "We need ta get Hank ta look at that."
"I think I'll live." Peter said smiling behind the mask. "Besides there was something that I needed to tell you and I should do it now before I chicken out."
"This from the guy that just fought that maniac and fights criminals." She joked.
Peter gave a small laugh and thought that what he was about to do was much more scarier then that. "Rogue...I don't know how you feel but, well, lately I've been thinking about you...a lot."
"Peter..." She said interrupting him. She knew where this was going. "Ya know nothin' can happen with us." She said sadly turning away from him.
"I don't care about your powers Rogue." Peter said to her taking her shoulders gently and turning her back to him, but she kept her head turned. He used his right hand and moved her chin for her face to him. "I like you Rogue, as a friend...and even more then that. I can't stop thinking about you lately and I want to know how you feel about me...how you REALLY feel."
Rogue closed her eyes, she thought about laying but she couldn't find the strength to do so. "Ah...ah do lahke ya." She admitted. "Ah just don't know how we can have a relationship."
"We can think of something...that is...if you want to try it, because I do." Peter said softly to her. She looked up into his masked face and imagined his face behind it. The kind boy that she had grown to like and to care about.
"Well...ah don't know...but...ah'll give it a try with ya." She said to him. Peter couldn't help but smile broadly under his mask.
"Really?" He asked happily, Rogue smiled and shook her head before looking back at him.
"Of course really." She told him.
"Well how about I take you home, my way then." Peter offered her his hand as he got up.
"But what about your arm?" She asked him worried about it and couldn't help but look at improvised bandage.
Peter shrugged. "I'm alright, come on." He led her to the ledge and she looked down unsure about any of this, but before she could back out he took her by the waist and they both jumped off the building. She instinctively clung to him and Peter shot out a web line as he moved through the city.
After her initial shock she soon found it exhilarating and enjoyed every moment of it.
NEXT UP CHAPTER 32: PRELUDE TO THE DANCE
Well I hope you're all happy Rogue and Peter are finally going to give it a shot.
