Sparky Genocide: Yeah I wanted to get into the relationships more in this one, and you know Brock will be a major pain and I hope you enjoy The Lizard.

Ldypebsaby: Yes Dr. Connors is in this chapter, Max is troubled I thought his origin proved that, as for Peter/Rogue's relationship will have a few bumps but will be fine.

Booyah: Unfortunately the Lizard persona is more animal like, so it would more then likely attack the Morlocks from a territorial nature it has.

The Uncanny R-Man: Yeah I like what I got going with those two too, the symbiote will show up later on and Peter will get it first then Brock. Way off with that one, besides they're based in San Francisco aren't they? (Or somewhere in California)

Mark C: Yep, I got a few ideas. Some are kind of old and no one might know them, but I'm also going to bring in more current ones too, but I'm still working on them.

Lord Destroyer: Glad you liked all of that stuff, and I might redo the one with Amanda's parents later on, and the Max/Tabby thing will go downhill even more later on too, as for Brock that's a cool idea. Yep you got it, but I'm not sure to show them in this story or not.

X-Over: You know that's what I was thinking of doing, and of course Brock will show up later and make things difficult.

slickboy444: Yeah I was never a fan of Jean and Duncan, I mean you know her and Scott would end up together but it just took SO long. Really not a Kurt/Amanda fan huh? Well I'm trying for a Lance/Kitty thing in this one for a chance so I think keeping Kurt and Amanda would be for the best.

Ivan Alias: Yeah I know it was slightly faster, but I just wanted to get a lot out of the way in this chapter. And you're right about that gang too, I though it would be fun to add them into the background slightly.

Episodic: I think I can guess. I'm thinking of leaving Amanda as she is, but I'm not sure, as for Jean, I never did like the Evo version of her, plus I think it was Duncan and hanging out with his group that made her like that.

AN: Since I keep on getting asked this a lot I'm telling you all one time only. Yes I will bring in other Spider-Man characters and other major plots. There from now on I'm not answering anything related to that unless it's specific or original, I'm just tired of answering the same questions over and over again.

SPIDER-X

NEXT UP CHAPTER 34: CURSE OF THE LIZARD PART 1

After the disaster with the dance, Principle Kelly had the school closed the next day while the police looked around. An announcement was made over the local radio about the school being close for the investigation but would be opened up in three days.

Even though it would only take one for the police, Kelly needed to extra time to clean up the mess, especially to fix up all the claw and bite marks that were all over the gym and some areas of the halls. There was no 'official' mention of the giant lizard creatures, and the police were trying to keep that quiet but when pictures of the creature showed up in the Daily Bugle, Kelly had to spend the entire day answering the frantic calls of parents asking how he let their kids nearly eaten by those creatures.

Kelly was in his office and had just hanged up the phone after yet another call from a concerned parent. He pulled out a bottle of aspirin and took a bottle of water to wash it down that he had on his desk. He was considering just going home and getting out that bourbon he had stashed away but he needed to deal with this first.

There was a knock on his door and he looked up thinking it was another officer trying to ask even more questions, but he was surprised to see Dr. Connors there, with an officer. "Dr. Connors what are you doing here? You did know that classes have been cancelled for a few days until this...mater...is taken care of?"

Connors nodded his head. "Of course but I left some papers here and I was hoping to get them since I could catch up on that while class are cancelled, but the officers wanted to make sure I worked here." He said turning to the officer.

"Well I take it he works here then?" The officer asked knowing the answer.

"Yes he does." Kelly sighed behind his desk.

"Alright then." The officer said then turned to Dr. Connor. "You can go to your office but please don't go into the gym or the blocked off areas." He said to Connor's who nodded and then walked to the science room. He walked off to that direction but after he was out of sight he moved to one of the other hallways.

Ever since he saw that news article about those lizard creatures he had to find a sample of them. Never before had he seen such creatures, there was no way they were either natural. They were either some kind of experiment or and he wasn't sure to believe in this theory, they were otherworldly.

He checked the halls and found one that had the yellow police tape across it. He looked and saw various claw marks on the floors and even a few dented lockers. He ducked under the tape and quickly scanned the area. He didn't know how long he had until someone noticed him so he had to be quick.

Then he noticed the smell. It was like a burnt smell almost like charcoal and burnt meat, kind of like someone had a barbeque in the hall or something. He looked around for two minutes without finding a talon, scale or anything. He was about to give up when something caught his eye.

He bent down and looked at a piece of what he assumed was either flesh or a scale. He couldn't be sure because of how badly it was burnt, but it was organic that he was sure of. With his one arm he reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out a plastic zipper lock bag. He gently placed the organic material no bigger then the wide of a quarter in it, trying not to touch it with his own skin to contaminate the sample.

It wasn't easy with just one hand, but after his accident took his right arm he had learned to do a lot of things with just his one remaining arm. After it was in he sealed the bag. His head quickly turned around as he heard footsteps coming his way.

He quickly put the bag in his pocket, ducked back under the police tape and quickly made his way down the hall he turned the corner just in time to avoid being spotted in the hall by a wondering police officer on the opposite end. Dr. Connors sighed in relief. He made his way to his classroom and unlocked the door with his key and got a few of the notes.

He didn't completely lie to Kelly, he could use the extra free time to mark the papers he had left behind, but he also wanted to get a sample if he could have found one of those creatures. And he had. He couldn't wait to get home and see what he could make of it.

Now the only problem was to see if it was compatible and to find a way to splice together the DNA of lizards and humans. 'One thing at a time.' He thought to himself. 'First let's see what our little 'friend' I found has to tell us.'

XAIVER INSTITUTE

Kurt walked to the Professor who was enjoying the outdoors sunshine with Hank. They were talking about the recent events at the school and hoping this wouldn't affect them. Kurt was nervous about what he was planning on doing but he had thought about this and he needed to tell the Professor and had to ask him something too.

"Um, Professor?" He asked hesitantly.

He turned his chair around to face Kurt and Hank merely turned in his seat slightly. "Yes Kurt what is it?" Xavier asked him.

"Um vell...something happened last night." He said nervously fiddling with his tail slightly, a nervous habit he had picked up whenever he had to tell his parents something he knew they might not like. "You see one of zhose creatures vent after Amanda and I...uh...sort of teleported her out of zere." Kurt saw both Hank and Xavier shocked and concerned about this so he decided to act quickly.

"But she already knew about me, I mean she saw me as I am vithout ze image inducer before ze dance."

"Wait, Kurt are you saying she knew about your appearance beforehand?" Hank said leaning forward slightly in his chair.

Kurt nodded enthusiastically. "Ja, she told me at ze dance, and she vasn't freaked! I mean zis is great, I never thought I vould meet someone who would...well...you know?" He gestured to himself. Hank nodded his head, since he too felt exactly the same as Kurt when his mutation went out of control and he was now stock in his new form.

"Kurt, are you certain that she can be trusted?" Xavier said steepling his fingers under his chin.

"Of course! I mean she knew for over a month and didn't say a vord, that and...uh...I vas vondering if she could, you know, come over today. Ve talked last night after the dance and I vant to show her my real life and ze others."

Xavier looked at him carefully and thought about it. "I think you should, I would like to talk to her and I would like to know for certain if she would keep our secret, I'm sure you trust her Kurt but I do have to think of the others too."

Kurt sighed and nodded. He knew that the Professor had to think about the rest of the children under his care. "I understand." He said slightly depressed at having her looked over like she was under suspicion. "So I'll just go and give her a call, ja?"

Xavier nodded and Kurt teleported to the nearest phone. Hank looked to Xavier. "Do you think she can be trusted?" He asked seriously, he knew that if she didn't Xavier could have no choice but to wipe her mind of all things related to mutants, possibly even her feelings about Kurt to ensure the safety of mutants not just here, but everywhere.

Xavier thought about it. "If she did know about Kurt for this long and hasn't said anything...then I think that is a good sign."

"You know Logan won't like this idea." Beast offered him with a small smirk as he thought of Logan's reaction to the news.

Xavier gave a smirk of his own. "I think that I can find someone to tell him that will make him listen to reason."

Hank raised a furry eyebrow at this. "Really? I thought Ororo could only get him to listen some times?"

"Oh no not her, I was thinking of May. She seems to be able to get through to him in her own special way." Xavier said grinning as he took a sip of his tea. Beast pictured those two together and couldn't help but laugh. It was becoming an inside joke that Logan the most feared of all the adults by the students couldn't seem to handle a fifty year old human, with no powers or abilities.

LATER THAT DAY

Amanda was nervous about all of this. Ever since Kurt had told her about his life last night, that he was a mutant and so was everyone else at the Institute she had wanted to get to know the real Kurt. She was just worried about making a fool of herself or something.

'What if they don't like me? What if I say something wrong?' She thought to herself. Kurt had told her it was fine to come over but also said the Professor wanted to talk to her. She had seen him a few times at school like at that Dracula musical the students had a few months ago, but never had to talk to him before.

She got to the gate and pressed the button on the intercom. "What is it?" Came a gruff and deep voice.

'That has to be Mr. Logan.' She thought to herself. Kurt had told her that he might be a little overprotective so try not to be phased by him. "Um, this is Amanda. Amanda Sefton, Kurt said I could come over."

There was what she thought sounded like a low growl which gave her a slight shiver down her spine. "Come on in." He said in a not too friendly tone. There was a buzzer sound and the gates opened. She walked up the drive and was amazed at the place. With the high walls you really couldn't get a look inside but the grounds were huge.

She saw a few of the others enjoying the time off of school. She did a double take as she saw one of them, she thought it was the boy named Bobby make a ice sled, and there was that Amara girl who seemed to literally throw a fire ball at it melting it.

"Wow, Kurt wasn't kidding when he said everyone had powers." He said to herself. She was so distracted by the sight she nearly fell into the fountain in front of the mansion but luckily stopped herself from falling to far forward. She looked around hoping no one saw it blushing a little. 'Okay breath Amanda. You'll do fine, just be yourself and try not to embarrass yourself this is important to Kurt.' She thought.

She got to the front door and opened it. She looked in and was surprised at the size of the foyer and the huge chandelier hanging from the ceiling. "Whoa." She whispered.

"So you're the elf's girlfriend huh?" She heard that same gruff voice again. She looked down and saw a man with wild hair and scruffy looking appearance. He also had a commanding and kind of scary presence.

"Um...y-yes sir I am." She tried to keep her voice calm but there was just something about the man. Logan gave her a piercing stare like he was studying her. She felt like he was a predator examining his prey.

"Mr. Logan will you please ease off the young girl." Said a stern female voice from the stairs. Amanda looked past the man, who seemed actually back off a little from her. The woman coming down the stairs was in her mid or late 50's and dressed in a sweater and long skirt.

"I'm just-"Logan began but she cut him off.

"Scarring the poor girl. Now you know Mr. Xavier wanted her to feel welcome so please try and be civil." She scolded the man. Amanda was surprised that this woman didn't seem at all phased by Logan.

She came up to Amanda and smiled warmly at her. "So you are Amanda. Kurt had told us a lot about you."

"Thank you miss...uh." Amanda didn't know the woman's name.

She smiled at her. "My name is May, May Parker."

"Parker?"

"Yes I believe you know my nephew Peter, you have a class with him and Kurt don't you?"

"Yes, I do." She said to her. "I didn't know Peter had his Aunt here, do you uh...well you know, have powers too?"

May laughed kind-heartedly at her girl's question. "Oh no, I'm just a normal person like yourself. I'm just here because Peter and I are the only family we have now, and he didn't want to come here and leave me alone so he wouldn't come unless I did to." She leaned in close. "And to tell the truth I'm glad he did, it's nice to be part of a large extended family again."

May straightened up. "Well I think Professor Xavier wanted to talk to you first, so lets go and see him shall we?" Amanda nodded and let the older woman lead her through the mansion. They eventually stopped at a door and May opened it for her, she went in and saw Xavier sitting by an empty chair waiting for her.

"Thank you May, if you will I would like a private moment with her." Xavier casually said to her. May nodded her head and Amanda felt a little uneasy with her gone. She looked at Xavier. Up close he seemed like a kind man with a calming aura coming off of him. He gestured to the seat and she sat down.

Xavier couldn't help but smile at the girl's nervousness. "Please calm yourself. Now I understand you knew about Kurt's appearance before hand, he has also told you things that must be kept secret because I don't think the world is ready to know about mutants yet."

Amanda nodded. "Yeah Kurt told me, and I can see his point. I mean not everyone would react kindly to people who are...well...different." And she knew that from personal experience. The last time her family had gone to a large city like New York she and her family got a few looks that made her skin crawl and some attitude too that showed just how people could reacted to someone based solely on the color of their skin.

Xavier could sense an understanding from the girl. "Yes so you can see why I have to make sure of your intentions. I'm sorry to have to ask this, but even though Kurt firmly believes in you I have to make sure."

"Yeah...I guess...so...how exactly are you going to do that?" She asked worried about what he was asking her.

"With your permission I will use my telepathic abilities to see how sincere you are." He said carefully. "It will only be a surface scan and I won't look into your inner most thoughts, I know this can be uncomfortable but unfortunately it is the only way."

Amanda thought about it. The idea of someone looking into her head was...disconcerting to say the least, but she also knew that if she didn't she might not be allowed to see Kurt again. "Alright then, I agree...so go to it." She said closing her eyes waiting for something, anything to happen.

"Alright we're done, and I thank you for your co-operation." Xavier said to her gently.

Amanda's eyes snapped open. "Wait, that's it?! I thought it would be...I don't know, that I would feel something."

Xavier smiled at her. "I try not to leave an impression that I was there, I find it easier on the other person. But you are a trust worthy person and I feel you can be trusted." Amanda was delighted at this news. "I believe Kurt is waiting for you in the living room with a few of the others, May can take you there."

Amanda stood up a broad smile on her face. "Oh thank you for trusting me, believe me I'll keep your secret."

"I know."

Amanda nodded and went to the door she found May who was had been waiting to see if the girl had passed. May had hoped she would, ever since she saw how happy Kurt had been since she and him went to the dance together.

Amanda nodded to May. "The Professor said that Kurt was waiting in the living room, could you please show me the way?"

"Of course dear, this way." May kindly gestured to the hallway and walked along and Amanda followed closely on her heels.

CONNORS' RESIDENCE

Dr. Connors was in his basement lab looking at the specimen. It was absolutely amazing what he found so far. It was some kind of reptile but nothing he had ever heard of. He had a print out in his hand of the chemical make-up. Even though badly burnt there was still usable DNA that he could gain some data from.

He put the paper down and stretched. He had been at it for three hours and he felt he needed a break. He got off his chair and away from the desk. He leaned against one of the tables and his eyes wondered to the incomplete formula written on the board.

'If only I could just figure out a way...to...' His thoughts were stopped and his eyes narrowed as he studied the board. Throughout human history some times when men and women have been looking for the answerers to seemingly impossible questions, when they feel that they can't solve whatever it is that they are trying to find answers for when it can happen.

When like a bolt of lightning that comes out of nowhere the solution comes to them as it was divine inspiration. Now was such a moment for Dr. Connors as the problem he had been desperately trying to find a solution for was suddenly in his grasp.

He slowly walked to the board taking the chalk by the board and slowly started to fill in the blank holes. Then he built up speed and started to write up all over the board he used the arm of his sleeve to wipe away whatever that needed to be taken out of the equations and then replaced them with new ones.

It took only five minutes for him to fix it, when he stepped back and looked at his new work a smile was on his face as he felt a type of euphoria that only could come from finally getting one step closer to his dream. "This can work." He said to himself as he looked at the board.

He had finally done it, he had finally found a way to splice together human and lizard DNA. Now he just had to test it out.
