Dacl73: okay...I did NOT know that? Wow, well I'm glad for that knowledge, unfortunately any decent comics are in short supply where I live and I heven't read a spider-man comics in months.

Beastdog: I've already said this to someone else but I guess you missed it. This is based on the comics NOT x-men evolution.

celtcath74: Well wait no longer here it is.

NctrnlBst: Ah yes, so that's what you meant. Well you're right about that and it might even get a little more then that latter on.

Cjh: You know you bring up a good point (one in which they address in Ultimate Spider-Man once) Thanks for the idea you just gave me, I'll see if I can work something out with it.

yae yang: No problem, as long as I hear from you I'm fine.

Fire inu: It happened awhile back in X-Treme X-Men. It's a long story basically they both nearly died and their powers were basically stretched to the limit and I guess short-circuited I guess.

The Uncanny R-Man: Haven't seen the new one yet, and I know that Emma has feelings for Scott, but Logan's got a point though. I've only seen the sneak peak of it from Wizard magazine (Which is why I knew about Kitty being back before the issue was out). Not too sure about the Willow thing since it's drawn by someone else. PS thanks for the info.

[AN]: This may be a little different then what happened in Uncanny but since Peter is there now, I'd figured I could change it a little]
THE NEW TEACHER

CHAPTER 19: TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME


"Thanks for the life Kitty." Peter said to her from the passenger seat of the car Kitty was driving. Kitty had offered them a lift to Xavier's since Peter and MJ didn't have a car of their own.

"No problem but you guys really should think of getting your own car someday." She said to them.

"Kitty." Peter started. "We live in New York city in an apartment with no parking lot nearby. Where would we put one? Besides public transportation may not be stylish but it gets you from place to place."

"This from the man who swings 50 mph over the streets of New York." MJ said from the back.

"She's got a point there." Aunt May said. After they had discussed it last night MJ thought it would be a good idea for May to come along and see where and meet the people he works with.

Peter called ahead to make sure it was okay and Scott said it was fine with him, as long as she was fine with being in a school full of mutants. Peter took a light offence to that, but didn't voice it.

Aunt May however was happy to come along. So here they were, all four of them. Kitty smiled, she like Peter's aunt so far, she seemed really sweet and kind old lady. She could see her influence on Peter now, and after everything she had learned about Peter and what he had gone through, she thought it was a great thing he had someone like her in his life.

They reached the gates of the Institute and Kitty parked out by the garage. May was looking around the place with a sense of awe. "My this place is enormous." She said looking at the place.

"Well it's getting bigger too." Kitty told her. "With all the new students we're getting we have to expand." She said pointing to the construction that was going on. "Come on I'll show you to the ballpark we got out back." She said cheerfully.

Kitty led the group through the mansion to the back, they passed many students along the way and Kitty was pleased to see that May Parker wasn't phased by any of it. 'I guess after finding out your nephew was a super hero, it's hard to be surprised.' Kitty thought to herself.

They arrived out back and saw mostly everyone was already there, including a few students in the stands. "Hello Peter, glad you could make it." Peter turned to see Storm coming to them.

"Hey Ororo. MJ, Aunt May, this is Ororo Monroe." Peter introduced them.

May smiled and shook the ladies hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you and the others. Peter had told me a lot about you, and I must say this is a charming school you have here."

Ororo smiled at the kind older lady, she was liking this woman already. "Why thank you, even though technically it's Xavier's and Scott is currently running it, me and my team are here to help out."

"Hey Peter who's the new face?" Peter could see Bobby coming up and some of the others. He introduced everyone to her and they seemed to like her, well Emma was a little indifferent to her, only giving a slight nod her way.

MJ and May took up seats on the bleachers to watch with the other students. "Hello Miss. Parker." Came three identical voices. MJ and May turned to see a few student but near them were three identical girls.

"Hello there, I take it you're some of Peter's students?" She asked them. They smiled and nodded.

"Really?" May asked. "Tell me how's my nephew doing?"

The three looked at each other for a second. "So far he's our favorite and he makes learning fun to do." They said once again in unison. A few of the other students walked up to them and said their hellos.

A few of them still staring at MJ unbelieving that Parker was married to her. A few of the girls also asked for MJ's autograph since they were fans of the show she had been on or just fans that liked her modeling also.

A few of the girls asked for advice in modeling and/or acting and MJ helped them as much as they could.

Peter was looking at all of this from what was the dugout for their team, smiling away at how well the two of them were getting along with the others.

Storm gave them their positions and everything since they had a few extra spots a few of them would rotate from time to time to give everyone a chance. This was supposed to be a friendly game after all.

LATER

At the bottom of the 5th Peter was up to bat and Scott was pitching. So far neither team had gotten a run. Peter was getting ready, Iceman was the catcher and Bishop was nominated the umpire.

Peter was waiting for the pitch then suddenly his spider sense kicked in. He dodged a shot that would have hit him in the hip. He looked at Scott who had a smirk on his face. "What the hell was that for?" Peter yelled out to him.

Scott caught the ball that Bobby threw back to him. He shrugged. "What can I say you're one of the teachers, don't you got any school pride?"

"Well they asked me first, next time try not to pick me last then." He said back.

"Are you ladies going to talk all day or play some ball?" Bishop asked from behind Peter. Peter retook his stance. Another inside ball was thrown. 'Alright then if that's how you want to play it then Summers, time for a little spider strength.'

Peter grinned as he fixed his grip on the bat. He checked his spider sense, it wasn't doing anything which meant he wasn't going for a another insider. Scott threw the ball this time a more decent pitch. Peter kept his eye on it and with a little extra with his strength behind his swing he nailed the ball and sent that sucker high into the air.

Dani and Shan who were the announcers for the game couldn't believe it. "Holy crap there are two moons in the sky folks." Shan said looking at the little white speck in the sky.

"That thing is going, going, gone into the forest. Home run! Storm's team leads by one!" Dani exclaimed.

Peter walked the bases and could help but smile on the look of Scott's face staring at where the ball had landed. He could see MJ and May standing up and cheering him on, and a few of his students as well.

When he got to the bench the team clapped him on the back as he took a seat next to Logan. "Nice one webs." He said quietly enough for Peter to hear only. Peter looked and swore he saw a grin on his face while he was looking at Scott.

The game went pretty much the same. Peter didn't want to push his luck and toned down the hitting. At the bottom of the 9th and it was a pure cliché to Peter. The bases were loaded with two outs and Emma up to bat.

Rachel was pitching and she threw two high on the insides. Peter could see the obvious distain between the two women and he could guess to as to why. Then a strike ball was thrown and Emma not only missed but fell on her ass. Rachel was laughing at this while Dani and Shan announced the winners.

But it didn't end there, the two women seemed to got into a fight or at least almost before some of the others had to stop them before someone took a swing at the other. Peter shook his head at the display.

"Why do I get the feeling working here just got a lot more interesting." He said to himself.
