NctrnlBst: Glad you like it so much, it just popped into my head and I just had to do it.

Koolwhip: I'm just one of those guys that like to respond to reviews. And don't worry I don't write that, I may imply it but never write a scene about it or anything.

Cjh: Hey thanks, always live hearing from new people, hope I live up to your expectations

Fire inu: That's alright I know the feeling.

The Uncanny R-Man: No, no she doesn't, and yes she'll be there among a few others, in fact I plan to redo that baseball game a little at one point, but that might be the next chapter.

celtcath74: Ah yes, I've had computer problems myself, it's not fun. Well I just couldn't think of anything else to say before that's way I only implied the kind of conversation before that, actually the Green Goblin will plan for that, he's going to have some back-up.

jadestar123: Thanks, I'm just glad you got one in anyway.

THE NEW TEACHER

CHAPTER 18: CHANGES


A month had passed and everything seemed to be changing. The mansion was getting new buildings and being expanded to keep up with all the new students being brought in. Xavier had taken a leave of absence and left Scott in charge with Emma helping him.

There was also the fact the Storm's team had rejoined the Institute. Currently her team was her, Bishop, Cannonball, Sage, Gambit and Rogue. Most surprising of all was the return of Rachel Summers, or Rachel Gray as she was calling herself now in honor of her mother. In fact she also took up her mother's old identity of Marvel Girl.

There was also the fact that the X-Treme team as it was called, was now a sanctioned group called the X-Treme Sanctions Executive (X.S.E.) Now they had official business when it came to mutants.

With all the changes Peter was just glad for one thing. He still had his job teaching. Thankfully even with all the new adults around they still needed him. It hadn't been easy sometimes, but with Kitty helping to cover for him from time to time he was able to make it work.

In fact Kitty had become one of his closest friends there, not to mention MJ and the girls were getting along great as well. They always seemed to have a girls night out as it were at least once a week.

Peter was glad for this, since it not only made MJ feel a little more apart of his world, but it was nice for her to have some good friends. Although after that first night the girls kept giving him strange looks, called him 'tiger' and he felt he heard them giggling when he wasn't looking for about a week.

Peter was currently walking down the halls looking through a group of papers he had in his hands. It was the first test he had handed out and so far the class looked like they would all pass.

He was so caught up in reading it and walking to the Teacher's Lounge for a break he nearly missed his spider sense going off. He quickly did a side step as he got to an intersection narrowly missing a red head bolting down the hall.

It was Rachel who nearly collided with Peter. "Whoa! Sorry about that." She said backing up a step, then she looked at him like she just noticed him. "Hey you're that new guy, Parker right?"

Peter grinned. "Well I have been here for over a month, but yeah I am. You're Rachel right? I'd shake your hand put they're a little full at the moment."

Rachel smiled at Peter's humor. "That's alright, I was just trying to find the computer science lab and got turned around. It's been awhile since I was here and I'm a little lost." She sad slightly embarrassed.

Peter just smiled kindly at her and pointed down the hall he just came from. "Down that way, left at the third intersection, fourth door on the right, you can't miss it."

Rachel brighten up. "Thanks, bye. Oh! Nice meeting you Parker." She said before she took off again.

Peter shook his head and continued on to the lounge.
COMPUTER ROOM

Kitty was getting her decks organized for the next class she had. Currently she was thinking about how strange it was to be a teacher here when not long ago she was a student. She smiled at the memories of her earlier days. Those were so simple and carefree compared to this.

The door being blown open, and Rachel running in interrupted her musing. She looked around quickly and spotting Kitty behind her desk she ran up to her.

"Whoa there Rach, what's going on?" Kitty said to her old friend. She was glad Rachel was back. When she left for the future she was afraid she would never meet her old friend from her Excalibur days.

Although now she had a new hairstyle and used Grey instead of Summers as her last name, she was still the good friend Kitty had known those years ago.

"I just had to find you. You see don't ask me how, but somehow the X-Men and Storm's team got challenged to a game of baseball. We're having it tomorrow and I want you to pitch for us." Rachel asked her.

Kitty's mood brightened up. "You bet I will, so do we need anyone else for our team though?"

Rachel thought about it. "Well...we could use one or two more players. I think Wolverine might go to our team, at least that's what Sam told me. But we might need someone else too. Especially if Logan doesn't join."

Kitty thought for a moment. "I think I have an idea, I'll get back to you later okay?"

Rachel nodded but before she left Rachel asked her. "Hey Kitty who are you going to try and get?"

"A friend." She said being cryptic before she left, and leaving a very confused Rachel behind her.

TEACHER'S LOUNGE


Peter was drinking a cup of coffee he had made since he had the room alone to himself, at least for a little while. He was halfway through his test sheets already, since he decided to give them a break for the first test and made it multiple choice as a warm up for the rest of the year.

He was putting the cup to his mouth when a hand was placed on his shoulder. "Wha-"He managed to say since he didn't notice anyone getting in, especially since he was facing the door.

His coffee narrowly missing him and the sheets he had, but thankfully with his special grip on his cup he didn't let it fall. He quickly placed it down and turned to see Kitty with a hand over her mouth trying to not to laugh at his reaction.

'Well that explains how someone got into a room without using the door so quietly.' He thought. 'If it was Kurt I would have heard and smelt him.'

"I am so sorry about that." Kitty said after she had control over herself or the time being. "I thought it was impossible to sneak up on you?"

"Yeah well, only when they're trying to do me harm." Peter said. "Then it goes under the radar as it were."

"Well once again sorry." Kitty said sitting down next to him. She looked at what he was working on. "So how are they doing?"

Peter smiled proudly at his student's work. "Pretty good, no failures so far and nothing below a C so far also."

Kitty smiled at that. "That's good so far. But I got to ask you something." Peter looked over at her. "Well I was wondering if you had plans for Saturday tomorrow because we got a baseball game with the adults and I was wondering if you'd like to play? Maybe you could bring in MJ too."

Peter thought about it. Normally he used Saturday to either rest, prepare or patrol around the city more. But there were no villains running around causing trouble and MJ said he should get out more other then Spider-Man.

A smile crept onto his face. "Sure why not, I'll see if MJ wants to join in or just watch with us." Then he paused. "If I didn't know any better I'd swear you asked me because I'd be like a secret weapon giving my...talents."

"Well...it was a factor I'll admit." Kitty said slightly blushing. "But you also don't hang out with us that much and I think it would be good for you."

Peter chuckled to himself. "I would say 'have you've been talking to my wife', but I already know you do." Kitty gave a smirk at that. "Tell me when to saw up and I'll be there, baring some emergency you understand."

Kitty nodded. "Yeah I hate to think we had something like that here. Game called off because of super villain although unique is a lot worse then rain. So I'll get the info from Rachel and get back to you."

She rose to leave and went through the wall again. Peter looked at the spot she disappeared to and shook his head. "Doesn't that girl ever use a door anymore?"

He heard a muffled scream and crash and he winched. "Guess not."
NEXT UP CHAPTER 19: TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

A/N: I don't know but I know for a fact Remy's powers are back but I don't know about Rogue though. Are her powers back too?
