"Vhat....?" said Kurt on the phone sounding upset. "Vell....can't you get out of it? ..... Oh... Vell...okay i guess...I'll call you tomarrow okay? .... Okay...Bye." Kurt hung up the phone. He had a very sad look on his face. "Great," he said to himself while looking at the clock that read 7:36. "I must be zhe only guy who doesn't have a dat on a friday night..." He went downstairs to the leaving room with his tail between his legs...literally...and spotted Kitty, Bobby, and Rouge sitting on the coutch talking with the TV on. ~Why are zhey here?~ he thought. Kurt decided to join them. "Kitty, don't you have a date vith Lance tonight?" he asked.

"No. He still has to do community service for that...incident...last week." replied Kitty as she eat some popcorn.

Bobby laughed. "Incident? Is that what he calls beating the hell out of a guy?" he said also eating popcorn.

"I told you," began Kitty. "That guy threatened him. He was provoked!!" she yelled. "What about you?" she said to Kurt "Shouldn't you be getting ready for your date with Amanda? Isn't it in an hour?"

"First of all, not everyone takes an hour to get ready for a date," said Kurt. "Second of all...she cancelled."

"Really? Why?" asked Rouge.

"Her dad is getting an award...for...something...and her parents forcing her to go."

"Man, that sucks." said Bobby.

"Vhat about you?" Kurt asked Bobby. "Arent you going out with zhat Kyra chick tonight?"

"Uhh... well....Kyra and I decieded that our relationship has been rocky latley and it was best if we went our seperate ways." said Bobby trying to sound intelectual.

"She dumped ya, huh?" said Rouge sounding very confident.

"....yeah..." said Bobby.

Everyone laughed except Bobby. "What about you Rouge?" Bobby was mocking Rouge. "Why don't you have a date tonight??" he asked already knowing the answer.

"Wanna find out?" said Rouge taking of her right glove with an evil smile on her face.

"Uhh...no, thanks. I'm cool." said a nervous Bobby. "I guess we're the only ones here..."

"Vhat? Vhere's zhe professor?" asked Kurt.

"He, Storm, Logan, and Beast went to track down Mystique," said Kitty. She noticed that Rouge's became angry after hearing "Mystique". "And everyone else is out on dates. even Jamie!"

"Great...and we're the losers who get to stay home and do nothin!" added Bobby.

"Vell, I dunno about you guys, but I'm hungry...I think zhat it's time we gave our old buddy a call..." said Kurt reaching for the phone.

"The pizza man?" asked Kitty

"Exactly" said Kurt. With a smile.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Damn..." said Bobby. "It's been over a half hour! Where the hell is he??"

"Calm down Bobby" said Rouge. "They said they'll be here in 45 mineuts anywa-" Rouge was interupted by an something that was beeping. There were also red flashes blinking around the mansion walls. The kids were puzzled.

"What the hell is that?" asked Bobby.

"The alarm..." said Kurt. "Someone is trying to get in."

"What? What do you mean" asked Bobby sounding very nervous.

"What do you think it means, genius?" said Rouge as everyone headed to the computer room to see who was trying to sneak in. Kurt was there first because he teleported. He began typing things into the huge computer very quickly and multiple windows came up on the huge computer screen which were from video cameras. There was no one there....and it didn;t seem like anything was wrong.

"Think it's the pizza man?" asked Bobby not knowing how stupid his question was.

"I doubt it...." said Kurt obviously joking. "It doesn't seem like anything happened!" Kurt began typing agian in a very fast motion. Everyone was impressed by Kurt's skill to use this huge computer, . More screens came up.

"Wow, Kurt," said Kitty pretty surprised "I didn't know you were so good with computers! I didn;t even think you knew what a CPU was."

"Well, when I get bored, I just watch the professor or Scott do it, and they show me how, it's not that hard." Kurt said as he was looking for the guy who was trying to break in. "Nothing! There's nothin wro-"

"Wait!" exclaimed Rouge. "Look over there!" she said pointing to one of the windows. Kurt couldn't see what she was talking about so she touched the screen where the window was. Kurt saw it. Something was on the sercurity guns...as if it was tied up or something. Kurt enlargened the window and zoomed in. The roped looked very unusual. There were a lot of it on at least 5 of the guns. Everyone was puzzled. Kurt slowly began to indenify it...

"It doesn't look like rope." began Kitty. "Looks more like string or..."

"Web..." said Kurt almost low enough to be a whisper. "Spider web. It couldn't be..." Kurt began typing agian. More and more windows appeared that showed guns with stringy-like ropes on them. Kurt than noticed foot and hand prints...on the walls. Just then everything stoped. The alarm, the guns, and everything else. "Did he leave?"

"I'll go look." said Rouge as she ran out of the computer room. She ran through the very long hall way to the living room. She opened the front door, stepped outside and looked around. She didn't see anything.

"I till ya, thats one hell of a security system." said a voice from above that scarred Rouge. She looked up at see a man who was on on the wall just above the door...

Kurt, Kitty and Bobby was running through the front door as they spotted what looked Rouge talking to something in the sir. "Who is she talking to?" asked Kitty. Just then a man dropped down right infront of Rouge. The three kids than ran to Rouge and the other guy.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Bobby still kind of nervous.

"Spider-Man?" said Kurt puzzled.

"Uh...yeah thats me..." said Spider-Man not reconizing Kurt because he's inducer wasn't on... he was also kinda freaked about the blue fur, tail, and yellow eyes. Kurt reconized the voice. It was Spider-Man. It was Peter Parker in his costume and mask. But this time, the costume was different. Very different. He was wearing red boots and red long gloves. His tights were blue with red in the mid section. The red had black spider webs on it. He also had a new red mask with to big eye holes with a material covring them that Peter could see through, but no one could see his eyes. The costume looked like it came straight from a comic book, or a cartoon, or a movie. Just then, the door bell from the front gates rang. It was the pizza man.

"About time..." said Bobby.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Vhat are you doing here?" Kurt asked Peter as they walked into the mansion pizza in hand. Peter was kinda nervous at the fact that he ws talking to a blue furry dude with a tail. Bobby was already starting at the pizza, not even remembering Peter was there.

"I came to talk to professor Xavier...about this institute of yours." said Peter talking off his mask. He looked that same as Kurt remembered.

"Did you decied that your going to stay?" asked Rouge

"No, not yet. I just wanna check out what you do here."

"Zhe Professor give you a communicator didn't he?" asked Kurt. "Why didn't you contact us with that?" Peter didn't answer right away. He was kind of nervous because of Kurt's apperance. What really scarred him is that tail wagging around.

~He sounds...and looks fimilar.~ Peter thought. ~I wonder if there any more like him~ Peter just remembered Kurt's question. "Oh...well, I...kinda dropped it the same night you gave it to me. I used the internet to locate you guys." Peter stopped and looked around the mansion. He was amazed and how big and fancy it is. "You guys got one nice place, here...bigger than my friend Harry's house."

"Wait a minute," said Rouge. "If you got the address to this place on the internet...couldn't you have gotten the phone number too?" She was right. Everyone turned to look at Peter.

"Well...yeah...anyway," said Peter trying to change the subject. "Can I see Xavier? I wanna talk to him."

"He's like, not here," said Kitty.

"Oh..." said Peter. "Okay, I guess I'll come back some other time. Sorry for all of the trouble." Peter turned around too leave. He was just going to walk away as if nothing happened which kind of suprised the four students.

"No vait," said Kitty stopping Peter. "You don't have to leave right now. We got a lot of pizza if you want to stay..."

"Uh...sure. Why not?" said Peter. "I don't have anything else to do anyway." The 5 teenagers walked into the leaving room. They sat down and ate pizza, drank soda, and talked about eachother, like there names, there schools, ect. They soon got to the topic of there powers. Peter seemed very interested. "So all of you guys are mutants?" he asked. Everyone said yes. "Oh, cool. Kitty, what are your powers?" he asked with great interest.

"Me?" said Kitty. "Well I can like, cancel out the space between atoms of solid matters."

"...What did you just say?" asked Peter

"It means she can walk through walls and stuff..." explained Rouge.

"Oh, I know what she said...but does she know what she said?" asked Peter very impressed with the intellegent way Kitty spoke. Peter thought that she was one of those dumb, ditzy, valley girls. Either she practiced that line for a while, or she's pretty damn smart. Peter was beginning to like her.

Kitty took Peter's comment as an insult. "What do you mean? Of course I know what I said...who didn't?" she said while putting her hand through the closed box of pizza and pulled out another slice.

"...Me" said Bobby with is mouth stuffed with Pizza.

"Me too," admited Kurt.

Everyone laughed. Just then, Bobby looked at his cup of Coke and noticed that all of the ice melted, so he held out his hand and soon enough, ice cubes formed in his palm, and he dumped them in his cup. "I'm guess that this guy can freeze things?" Everyone nodded there head...except for Bobby who didn't even notice that he was being talked about. "What about you..um...Rouge?" said Peter hinting that he was curious about why everyone calls her Rouge...or if it is her real name. "What are your powers?"

Rouge chuckled a little bit. "Well, my powers aren't what you'd call, people friendly..." began Rouge. "I can absorb the energy and memories...and even mutant powers from someone just by touching them." she said holding her exposed right hand.

"Really? So if you were to touch me, you would be...Spider-Girl?" Peter asked with great intrest. Rouge nodded her head. "Cool, lets do it..." said Peter holding out an exposed hand waiting for her to demonstrate her powers.

"You sure you wanna do that?" asked Rouge with a playful smirk on her face. "Cuz remember, I said I absorb your energy...and I may put you in a coma if I touch someone..."

Peter's face froze for a second...then pulled his hand back. "Okay then, nevermind." He then noticed something about Rouge. Her face turned into sadness when she put her glove back on her hand. Peter knew she was hurt...but what hurt Peter was that he could do nothing about it... "So..um..what...what about you Kurt?" asked Peter still not used to the blue fur and the rest of Kurt's unusual features. Peter tried not to be rude.

"I've showed you before..." said Kurt. Peter was puzzled. Kurt then teleported from infront of Kitty, to right next to her, then back where he began. "Look familiar?"

"Wait a minute, that was you?? At the arena??" asked Peter. "But...at the arena you...you had...you didn't have...uh..." Peter was trying to explain this without hurting Kurt's feelings. Kurt knew what he was trying to say.

"Vell, I have zhis image inducer..." said Kurt. He turned it on and instantly changed from being a blue furred and tailed demon-looking teen...into an average tan-skin tailless teen. Peter was suprised, but before he could say anything, Kurt explained. "I obviously can't walk around looking like zhis," said Kurt turning his inducer back off. "So I use zhis thing to make me look like everyone else."

"That's pretty amazing," said Peter.

"I know," answered Kurt. 'But you were the first guy who ever saw me like...this...and didn't panic...I must say zhat is unusual."

"Well I knew you weren't any danger so..." Peter said.

Rouge laughed thinking he was trying to be Mr. Tough Guy. "Really? Haha. How?" she asked.

"It;s 's one of my powers. Some spider's have this sixth sense for danger...and I'm one of them. Call it a spider sense." Peter said with pride. Now it made sense how Peter dodged all of those guns very quickly.

"Which reminds me..." said Kurt. "Pete, the professor told me that you weren't born with your powers, that you got them by accident. Is that true?" asked Kurt with great intrest. the rest of the students were interested too.

"Yeah..." said Pete.

"Wow"

"Really?"

"What happened?"

"It's a long story..." said Peter.

"Believe me, we got lots of time." said Rouge.

"Okay then, It all started at the end of my freshman year..."

***********

Less than a year ago, I was an average kid. Well...an average science geek kid. I was punked around, my lunch money was stolen, the whole nine yards...but all of that was before it bit me.
