A/N: This fic obviously takes place after the events of WaTXM, you'll see that with the characters that are in this chapter. Oh, and if you haven't watched the show, do yourself a favour and watch it.
I stood by the door to Beast's lab. I put my ear next to the door to hear what was going on while Tildie grabbed tight on to me. Rasputin and Ilyanna were sitting down next to the lab, Scott had Jean around his arm, Rouge was walking back and forth down the hall, and Logan rested near the door with his head down
So many things happened at once.
I was just there, in the museum, hanging out with two boys that have nothing interesting to think about Dinosaurs, I meet this incredibly awkward guy in 5 seconds, who isn't answering his phone at all by the way, then Archangel attacks out of nowhere, Spider-Man jumps in only to get stabbed by a giant razor sharp wing, which made him go insane enough to punch Warren out of solid concrete.
Plus the usual mutant hate afterwards. Which is obviously expected.
The point is, Spider-Man went insane. This was the American icon I was obsessed with at the age of 15? Because he apparently grows huge hairy arms with claws when he's near death.
Logan was surprisingly okay with keeping Webhead here for checking. Probably has to do with the time they teamed up against that Kang-guy as Avengers.
Bobby walked up to me
"You alright Kitty?"
He brought me into an embrace
"Yeah Bobby, I'm fine. Thanks"
He lets go as I rest my hand on the door.
"I'm gonna be honest, I've never seen Spider-Man do something like this. Like, ever" Iceman said
"Me neither!" I said "I don't think anyone has!"
"One of you care to explain what happened to webs?" Logan said
"It's just like I said. He beat Warren to a literal pulp." I tell him
"Did he grow in crazy proportions at all?" Logan said
"I saw claws come out of his fingers" I said
"And Archangel was there?" He asked
I nod
"I see….." He responded
"Whatever it is, I just hope he's okay." I say as I turn back to see the other X-Men. "And I'm sure we all do as well"
"Same" Logan says as he looks down again
Logan is acting really paranoid today. He let someone who isn't even a mutant into the house. Now he's suddenly asking all these questions about him.
The door to the lab finally opened. Out came Beast, who had a tablet in his hand
Everyone wanted to know what truly happened to Spider-Man.
"Good news, he'll live. Bad news, well, see for yourself"
Beast turned the tablet towards us
A demonstration of what happened to Spider-Man during battle. His spine curved, grows out fangs in his teeth, and overall a horrifying sight. I think I even saw some extra arms starting to form, before immediately disappearing back into the flesh
"Um…..what is going on to his body?" Rouge asked
"I don't have a clue, it seems like a mutation, an effect that just comes out of the blue, it seems . I guess that being stabbed in the chest by a blade is enough for him to trigger the effect" Beast explained
He handed the tablet to Logan
"Any idea how to hold it off?" Logan asks
"Like I said, I don't have a clue. I've never seen anything like it. I think I'll have to interrogate him"
Logan walks off
"Logan?" I ask
"I'm coming back in a second. I'll check to see if I still got that Avengers membership card."
Again, really paranoid
A voice suddenly booms out of the lab
" Where am I?! What is this?!"
"Hank, I recommend you speak to him now" Scott stands up and puts a hand on his visor, being prepared to shoot.
Scott looks at Beast "What are you waiting for Hank?!"
Beast goes back into the lab
"Easy there kid,I'm here to help" The blue and hairy man tells me "I'm Henry McCoy, Beast. I'm a doctor"
"Where am I?!" I scream at him
Seriously, where am I? Did those mysterious mutants actually take me hostage? Is that what they wanted? Was this a set up?
And what happened to me back there too? All I remember was punching that psycho out a roof of the museum, and now I'm tied up in a lab with a big ape.
I don't want to think badly about mutants, but what if they actually wanted me here? You know, for experimenting or something?
"Get me out. Now." I say
"I need to ask you some questions, now if you could gently let me—"
He reaches for my mask
I quickly responded by kicking him back with my feet towards the door
"I wear a mask for a reason. I won't let you remove it" I say
He stands up and jumps towards me
Scott still has his visor ready. Illy had her sword ready. We were all ready.
"Hank? Hank?!" Scott yells
The silence continues to grow until finally, Beast flies out of the door
"Hank!" He yelled
"I tried to remove his mask" Hank grunted
"That is a terrible move." Scott replied
A web suddenly hits the visor and Scott hits the wall
I take Tildie in my arms and run off. I can't let her get involved in the crossfire. Having Spider-Man attack us is already enough. We don't need a little girl turning gigantic to trash the place
Spider-Man jumps out of the lab with his suit torn to near shreds
"Who are you people!?"
Jean starts sending mind waves to Spider-Man and starts grabbing on to his head while howling
He runs as fast as he can and makes a web barrier to block the other X-Men
Bobby slid towards him covered in his Ice form
"Dude chill, it's me, Iceman!"
"So this was all a set-up, wasn't it?"
"Set up?! We're trying to-"
Spider-Man pulled himself to Bobby to beat on him
I took Tildie to a nearby corner
Scott showed up preparing his optic blast while Spider-Man beat on the other X-Men
"Shadowcat! Take Tildie, go upstairs!"
I nodded as I phased through the roof to the normal floor of the school
"What is going on down there, Kitty?" Storm says as Nightcrawler bamfs her next to me
"It's Spider-Man. The others are trying to cool him down"
"Spider-Man? We'll do what we can" Kurt teleported Ororo and himself to the battle downstairs
I felt something warm on my chest, and I looked down to see Tildie crying into my shoulders
"It's okay Tildie, it's going to be alright" I said while hugging her
"Spidey isn't a bad guy…right?"
I stared at Tildie with surprise.
"Why do ask that? Of course not. He's just….confused for the moment"
"Does he think we're monsters too?"
"No! Why would he?" I said
We were mutants who fought another mutant and brought Spider-Man to our house for checking. Not to mention Beast's terrible move of immediately trying to remove his mask.
After all that's happened, no wonder why he'd be jumping to conclusions so quickly.
