NctrnlBst: Well that's what's going to be seen in this chapter at least.
Fire inu: That was my thinking for it.
Jadestar123: Damn that sucks...no worries about it I completely understand.
THE NEW TEACHER
CHAPTER 12: AFTERMATH
Kitty and Peter just stared at each other waiting for the other person to speak, or move or do anything.
"Oh...my...God." Kitty whispered under her breath. She couldn't believe this. Of the most closely guarded secrets was the identity of Spider-Man. No one knew who he was and now she just walked in on the one person she wouldn't even suspect of Spider-Man being.
"Uh...I can explain?" Peter said warily.
Kitty looked at him. "This should be good." She said still a little in shock of this.
"Okay...would you believe I'm the world's biggest Spider-Man fan and I wear a identical costume under my clothes?"
"No." Kitty said to him. "Got anything better then that?"
"No not really." Peter sighed. "So now what?"
Kitty was silent for a moment. "YOU"RE SPIDER-MAN?!" She finally screamed out.
Peter winched and quickly moved to her and put a hand over her mouth. "Shhh. I have a secret identity. That means no one can know. I mean I don't want the whole place and the rest of the New York state to know about this."
"Now I'm going to remove my hand please don't scream anything like that again please?" Peter begged. Kitty nodded her head and he slowly removed his hand.
"I think I need to sit down." Kitty said wearily and went over to a vacant seat and plopped down on it. She looked over at him as he quickly changed a thousand questions running through her head. "So I'm I the only one that knows about this?"
Peter who was know finishing putting on his shirt looked at her a little unsure of what to say. "Well...not exactly. Logan knows but that's it."
"LOGAN!" She screamed. "How long?" She demanded.
"A few years actually. He met me up in Canada on this thing we had with a weindigo, and he knew who I was out of costume thanks to that damn nose of his."
Kitty jaw had dropped at that. 'Logan knew for years and didn't tell anyone?' She thought to herself. "Him and me are going to have a looong talk." Kitty said in a slightly miffed mood.
"Yeah well, the guy can keep a secret." Peter said light heartedly, then he got all serious and sat beside her. "Kitty I need you to keep this to yourself."
Kitty stared at him and could see the concern and the seriousness of it. "Alright, but I have to ask you at least one question right now. Why haven't you ever trusted anyone with your identity? I mean we don't exactly spill any of our secrets either."
Peter sighed and looked away. "Everyone that knows about me being Spider- Man is put at risk. Everyone close to me ends up getting hurt or worse."
Kitty didn't buy it. "Come on it can't be that bad."
"Peter didn't move but his voice was even and emotionless. "My first great love Gwen Stacey died because the Green Goblin found out who I was and killed her. Her father who knew who I was died also. The Green Goblin also was responsible for the death of my child with MJ, and others who found out about me, or those close to me have been targets for others to exploit."
Kitty couldn't say a word. She didn't know what to say, she could hear the pain in his voice and she felt her eyes tear up. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "I-I won't say a thing."
Peter turned to her with tired eyes. "Thanks." He got up and got his case. "We should see how the others are doing." Kitty nodded and they left the room. Peter and her made the way to the lower levels to the medical ward. They walked there in silence.
When they got there Annie was currently treating several students who had the worse of it. "Annie you need some help?" Kitty said over to her.
Annie looked up, her hair was a mess and she had blood on her gloves and uniform. "Anything you can do to stabilize will do for now." She said to her then looked to Peter. "Unless you have any experience with injuries you should leave."
"I got experience." Peter said which actually surprised Annie. Kitty thought she might know of how he was experienced. When Peter saw the look she gave him he got out the usual cover story. "I was in the Carnage Riots and helped out. Plus I got banged up myself so I got first hand experience from both ends."
Annie nodded then pointed to the students by the wall that were not in serious trouble but still needed help. Peter went to the immediately, while Kitty followed him. Peter began working on the injured students. Years of practice on himself paid of this day, he also noticed one of his students, Josh Foley a golden skinned mutant was using his healing powers to help out.
I took a couple of hours everyone was tired after it. Thankfully the robed attackers were bad shots and missed most vital organs. In fact Annie had used some a vary small stockpile she had of Angel's blood with it's healing properties to help the most critically wounded.
But many of the students were still in the medical ward, and would have to stay for several days at least for supervision. Peter and Kitty had sat down together near a wall. Kitty was resting her head on Peter's shoulder resting.
"You do realize I have a lot of questions?" Kitty said quietly to him. Peter sighed and nodded. "But I think that can wait until another time." Peter was glad for it. After what they just went through he really didn't feel up to it.
Scott walked in on the scene taking everything in. He noticed Peter and walked up to him. "I heard you helped out down here...thanks." Scott said to him. It wasn't exactly friendly but it wasn't anything negative either. With what humans just did up top, Peter was surprised he wasn't furious with humans.
"I've called off the lessons for the rest of the day, so don't worry about any of the other classes." He said to him.
Peter managed a tired grin. "Thanks, I think I'll head home and surprise my wife."
Scott actually managed a small smile at him. "You want a ride? The bus could take a while."
Peter was thinking about it when Kitty spoke up. "I will, I need to get out of here for a while after this anyway." She said looking around her.
Scott nodded his head in understanding and left to check on the status of the children.
Peter turned to Kitty. "You didn't have to do that you know?"
Kitty shrugged. "I know but you deserved it for helping us, and besides we could talk a little on the way."
"Oy." Peter said sending the back of his head against the wall.
Kitty nudged him in the ribs. "Come on it won't be that bad. Besides I'll try and keep the questions light."
They grudgingly managed to force themselves up and made their way to the garage.
