yae yang: Yeah I know, I think that's what makes him such an interesting hero.
The Uncanny R-Man: Don't worry some chapter will be more Spider-man oriented then the others, and others will be more X-Men oriented. You know ever since you mentioned that, I knew those two wouldn't get along. With Emma moving on Scott and all, I'm not surprised. I think I might be able to have some fun with that later on.
yae yang: Yeah I know I thought it was funny too, plus I felt that I should have done something to make them a bit closer to the X-men and nothing brings people together like a shared tragedy.
Beastdog: Well I'm not sure about that. I guess I'll put it to a vote, in the next review everyone tell me if his secret should eventually come out or not?
Dacl73: Yeah I know I just do that because I feel like I'm just doing that to try and fill space (blame the artist in me for that one) I'll try and stop it if it bothers you. And as for the descriptions I just get carried away with the dialog and forget to do that sometimes.
NctrnlBst: Ah I was wondering what had happened to you. Well I'm still thinking about how they will or if they find out.

CHAPTER 10: LOOKING AFTER PARKER
Logan hung up the phone after Parker's wife called. He knew something like this would come up sooner or later. He knew Peter had a lot of different powers but unlike Logan he didn't have a healing ability so the next morning all the bumps and bruises would be gone.
He walked down the halls to Xavier's office. He knocked first, but as usually didn't wait for a replay and just walked in. "Hey Chuck you got a sec?" Xavier looked up from his desk.
"Yes I do Logan."
"Parker's wife called. He's not doing so well and he's called in sick. Ya think you got someone who could take over for the day?"
Charles thought about it. "I believe Kitty or Hank could substitute."
Logan nodded. "That's good." He turned to leave but then stopped and looked over his shoulder at him. "Oh and Professor I'll be taking off for a while. I got something to look into."
Charles had a small smile on his face. "Of course you do Logan."
PARKER APARTMENT
May Parker was just getting in. She shut the door and went to look in on Peter. She saw him there, the bottom half still in costume, with a few bandages and some signs of bruises on his exposed upper body. He was lying sprawled out on the bed over the covers.
May sighed sadly at the sight of him. She was still getting used to the fact that this is what Peter had been doing since he was a teenager. She quietly closed the bedroom door and let him sleep.
She walked over to the kitchen and decided to make some coffee since she missed it this morning. She in such a hurry to get here, so she had left the house without something to help wake her up this morning.
She waited patiently for it to finish while sitting on a chair in the kitchen/dinning room area of the small apartment. A little while passed and she got herself a cup ready, she placed the pot back on the heater, to keep it warm incase Peter got up and wanted some.
She had only taken a few sips when there was a knock at the door. She thought that MJ was back and had forgotten her keys or something, since who would be here at eight in the morning?
When he opened the door she was surprised to see a man in a biker jacket, and jeans, with a very unique hairstyle. It seemed to up in two points on the sides of his head. He also wasn't clean-shaven.
"Who are you?" She demanded the man only seemed to smile.
"I'm Logan from the Institute. His wife called and said something about him having some trouble last night, I just wanted to check up on him, to make sure he's alright is all."
May regarded him skeptically. Logan sighed then leaned in closer. "Look I know about his 'other' job swinging around the city so ya don't have to worry about that."
May took a step back startled at the revelation. "Oh...so you know about...well then I guess you could come in." She said to him. "But you better not wake him up or you are out of here you got that mister?" she said pointing a finger at him.
Logan couldn't help but grin at the old lady. 'She's got spunk I'll give her that.' He thought to himself. He walked into the apartment and looked around. It was a little small. The kitchen and dining room was basically the same place, and there was a small yet comfortable living room area with a green couch a chair a table in front of them all and a TV on the far wall.
He looked to see a doorway and moved to it. May tried to object but Logan held up his hand to silence her and continued on. He opened the door slightly and saw him there. He could also smell some dried blood but not much. He closed the door and walked to the table of the kitchen/dinning room and sat down in one of the chairs.
He thought about how he looked to him. He'd seem much worse at the mansion, but there they always had someone like Hank around. He never thought what these loner heroes went through at times like this.
"How many times does this happen?" Logan asked May.
She sat down across from him. She could tell there was a hint of concern in his voice, but he was hiding it well. She sighed. "I don't really know. I just found out about this not too long ago, but thinking back to it, I think it gets back every now and then."
"He was a lot worse then that, when I stumbled on him sleeping and found the tattered remains of one of his costumes. Not exactly the best way to find out your nephew is a super hero."
Logan shook his head. After all the years of knowing this guy he suddenly realized besides the fact that he knew Peter was Spider-man there was nothing much else he knew about the man. "Why does he do this?" He asked her. "I just don't get it. I know why the others and me fight. We fight because someone has to stick up for mutants. But I have no idea why he does it."
"With great power, comes great responsibility." May said plainly with a hint of sadness.
Logan looked at the woman. "I've heard him say that before but what does it mean?"
May sighed. "It's a long story and I'd rather him tell you, but since it took years for him to tell me. I guess I'll give you the basic version." May told Logan all about Peter's Uncle Ben and what happened to him. She told him how responsible he felt about his death.
Logan shook his head. 'So that's why he does this with a passion.' He thought. Logan looked at May sitting across from her. "Thanks." He plainly said, not a man of big words.
May smiled kindly at him. Then the door opened and suddenly slammed shut. They both turned and could see Mary Jane storm in through the door since the area they were in wasn't separated by a wall or anything to the front door.
"That man is impossible! How does Peter stand it?" She said angrily, then she noticed they had company. "Logan?! What are you doing here?"
Logan stood up from his chair and made his way to the door. "Just checking in to see if the web head was going ta be out more then a day or something." Then he turned to face May as he reached for the doorknob. "Nice meetin' ya." Then he opened the door and left.
Mary Jane looked back at May with still a surprised expression. May just shrugged. "I think he was just worried. So what did that Jameson person do this time?"
MJ went into a rant how 'that man', as she kept referring to him, was totally unrealistic. When he found out that Peter was sick and MJ had sent in the photos herself, not only did he try and cut the price down, thinking she didn't know how much Peter made off those pictures.
He also went into a speech about him crawling to work with a broken leg, and if he could do it, so would Peter. MJ had to control her tempter at one point when he called Peter a no good lazy camera jockey.
She had gotten a check for the pictures and got out of there quickly before she decked him. May looked at her shaking her head. "I swear that man gets more and more grouchy every year." May said dismayed.
"Tell me about it. How Peter puts up with that hot aired fill, Hitler mustache wearing man is beyond me." MJ said exasperated. She brushed a strand of hair out of her face. "So how's Peter is he still asleep?"
May nodded. "Good, we should let him, he's been busy lately and really needs it." MJ said to her.
