A-fallen-Angle: Thanks for the support, but a couple of things, first
you misspelled the link, and when I got to the site is wasn't helpful,
sorry, but I need current character profiles and couldn't find any
there. But thanks for trying.
BlackRoseApocalyps: Cool I can't wait until the last chapter of Fighting Destiny comes out. I'm on edge as it is.
The Uncanny R-Man: Well wait no more, and even though the site didn't help, thanks anyways. All I really need are just names, and I might find bios more easily.
THE NEW TEACHER
CHAPTER 4: GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER
The silence was a little daunting to Peter. That is until Dani spoke up. "That is so cool! Have you really met Spider-man? What's he like? How does he make those web things? How do you get all those cool pictures?"
Peter couldn't help but smile. 'At least it's a better reaction then what I'm used to.' He thought. "Whoa there, let me answer your questions okay?" Dani stopped and bushed a little at her reaction.
"Well first off yes, nice guy, you'd have to ask him that." To which Logan actually smiled a little. "And as for the pictures, that's my secret, sorry."
"So how is it a photographer went into teaching?" Hank asked him.
Peter scratched the back of his head. "Well you see I was going for a degree in the science field, mainly genetics, but certain...circumstances made me leave before I could finish, and while as a freelance photographer is kind of cool, I needed a better job, and well, to make it short I got a job teaching at my old high school."
"What kind of circumstances?" Scott asked a little suspiciously. Peter's smile faded and a sad look was now on his face. "My uncle died, and I had to take cars of my Aunt."
"Oh...sorry I didn't know." Scott said feeling bad for the man. He knew what it was like to loose family. "What about your parents? Didn't they want to help?"
"My parents died in a plane crash when I was a child, my aunt and uncle raised me." Peter solemnly told him. Scott mentally kicked himself.
"Scott maybe you should let other handle the questions, before you swallow both your legs, since your feet are already in." Bobby said to their leader. Scott didn't say it, but he agreed with him at this point.
"Well this is a cheerful atmosphere." Emma said sarcastically. The door burst open at that time, and Jubilee and Paige stormed in. Well Jubilee stormed, Paige was just following her.
"Hey can't you read the sign out there? No students." Bobby said to Jubilee, she just turned to him and stuck out her tongue.
"Hey is it true we're getting a new human teacher?" The Asian teen asked the group. Everyone looked surprised. "And how exactly did you know about that?" Xavier said to her.
"From...uh...some of the girls." Jubilee said shyly, then she noticed Peter. "Is this him?"
"Naw, I'm the new guidance councilor, care to make an appointment?" Peter joked to her. "Since when do we need a guidance councilor?" Jubilee asked. There were a few laughs from the group.
"I'm just kidding." Peter said, he was about to call her by name, but stopped himself. He didn't want to have to explain how she knew Jubilee. Jubilee blushed slightly at being so naïve. Bobby was on the other hand still laughing.
"You know, I think I might like this guy." Bobby said jerking a thumb at Peter.
Xavier took Peter on a tour of the Institute and showed him the other classes and of course where he would be teaching. Everything looked brand new (well almost brand new) and there were a lot a students already in classes.
They ended up in the gym. "I'd like you to meet our gym teacher, Cain Marko." Peter froze for a moment. 'Cain Marko...THE JUGGERNAUT! I'd heard he was here, but a teacher!' He silently thought to himself.
He felt a huge presence behind him, and he slowly turned around to see the huge man, out of his normal armor. Peter gulped hard, but tried to keep a straight face. "Hi, nice to meet ya?" Peter tried to smile and offer him his hand.
Cain arched an eyebrow and shook his hand. "Yeah, whatever." The last time Peter had faced him, he had tricked him into a pile of wet cement, not only that, but the fight was one of the worse betting he got. And now he was teaching in the same place as a man that not only tried to kill him, but put one hell of a beating on him.
Cain went back to the class he was teaching and he and Xavier went on. Charles seemed to notice his nervousness. "Are you all right teaching here with him?"
Peter looked at the professor. "Shows huh? Well with all the history between you guys and him it's just a little...weird to see him here."
Xavier nodded his head. "Yes well, Emma too was once our enemy. And believe me when I say that he has changed."
"Well if you say so. But I might take a little while to get used to the idea." Peter said to him. The Professor smiled. "How do you think the others reacted when he asked to say?"
Peter grinned at that. He hadn't thought about that, and now that he mentioned it, he bet it wasn't easy for most of them either.
The tour continued to the medical room, where Anne was working. "Annie I have someone you should meet." Xavier said to her.
Peter saw a woman in a nurse uniform coming towards them. "Hello there, are you one of the new teachers?" Peter smiled at her. "Yup that's me."
"Hey mom!" They turned to see a boy run in with Alex Summers behind him. "It was so cool today, and I think I got a few new friends too."
Annie smiled at her son, and then to Alex, who returned it. "Ah Alex, I'd like you to meet Mr. Parker, we'll be a new teacher for us here." Xavier said to Scott's brother.
"Well then nice to meet you Mr. Parker." Alex said warmly and shook Peter's hand. "Please just call me Peter, Mr. Parker makes me feel old." Peter joked to the man.
The tour continued and he met a few others. Kurt and him got along fine, and he met some of the others like Amara, Rahne, and Xi'an Coy Manh or just 'Shan' since it was easier for him to remember.
All in all it was a nice day and the Professor asked him if he could start on Monday. Peter agreed and had called a cab to get him back home.
When he got back MJ was there and wanted to know the news. "So how'd it go?"
"Well I got the job." Peter said to her, she noticed something in his voice. "Peter what is it?"
Peter couldn't hide the smile. "Well you know how I said that address was familiar?" She nodded. "Well it turns out I'll be teaching at Xavier's."
MJ just stood there with her mouth open. "How could you not know about that?"
Peter just shrugged. "Well to be fair I usually only see them as Spider- Man, and I just swing over, not like I drive there everyday, well at least until now that is."
MJ just shook her head. "Only you Peter, only you." She said while smiling.
