Hey guys! Long time no see! I got some comments from the last chapter saying that this fic was a bit dry and still too much like FanBoyTrippin's story so I'll try to be a bit more 'out-of-the-box' for the rest of the chapters! Normally my first few chapters of my writing can be a bit dull because I'm trying to set up the story so please be patient! Ok now that my little author's note is done onto the disclaimer which my lovely (And totally not imaginary) friend Phillip will do the disclaimer!
Phillip: 13SapphireStars13 does not own Spider man or X-Men: Evolution. This is a fanfic people.

Peter's House; Same Day As Last Chapter
"Chuck did you see that comin?" Wolverine was still in shock at what the kid had done. Obviously there was something more going on in the kid's head than anyone had originally thought.
"I'm not sure Logan. I foresaw that Mr. Parker's pension towards things randomly combusting items would appear when we confronted him, but I didn't think he would be a strong enough telepath to be able to actually lift the teapot and cause the explosion. But what I'm very curious about is… how did Mr. Parker know to duck at that specific moment? He wouldn't have heard it because the explosion was silent but maybe…." Professor Xavier trailed off mysteriously. Scott and Wolverine both looked at him in a confused expectant sort of way causing a silent moment to descend upon the group as May Parker cleaned up the teapot.
"But Professor," Scott broke the silence after a minute of thinking. "Wouldn't that mean that you were correct when you said he had a sort of clairvoyant aspect of his mutation?"
The Professor sighed. "Yes but his powers were supposed to be too weak right now for him to be able to use so many of them at the same time at such an early stage of their known development. But I could be that Mr. Parker's powers have been developing on such a small level for the past few years that we never noticed them and Peter never did either." He said musing aloud.
Scott scratched his head in thought. "But Professor that would mean he's as powerful as Jean and you sir. But that's not supposed to be possible!"
"I know Scott and this worries me. I think you should go call in Rogue. If things get bad she can knock him out and take his powers for a while." Scott nodded and stood up before walking outside to call Rogue.
"Charles I'm not sure that allowing him to just leave like that was the best thing to do. I mean what if the kid gets into trouble and his powers go berserk? I know that you're strong telepath but I don't think you could handle everything the kid could throw at ya." Wolverine said.
Professor Xavier nodded thoughtfully to what Wolverine said. "I know Logan, but I want Peter to feel as normal as he can right now so his powers don't sense his emotions and react violently. But either way I think bringing in Rogue would be beneficial to Peter. He was orphaned as a small child like Rogue and they both have strong powers that are hard to control. This would be beneficial to getting Peter to agree to go to the Institute." Wolverine sighed in exasperation at Charles words but agreed with them none the less.
Scott walked back into the room. "Rogue's on her way. She said that she'd 'borrow' Lance's Jeep and drive it up here. She should be here in five hours."
"Good Scott. But I think I'll just forget what you said about Lance's Jeep and I think you should too." Charles said smiling for probably the first time since he had been in the Parker house.
Scott laughed. "I think your right Professor." Charles let out a small laugh and Wolverine just grunted in amusement.

Midtown High; The Next Day
"Aw come on Harry you probably didn't fail that badly! You probably only failed a tiny bit!" Peter said laughing as he and Harry walked out of their end-of-term Math Exam/Test.
"Shut it Pete! Not everyone can have your amazing math skills! Some of us have to do a little thing called 'studying'. Have you ever heard of that Pete?" Harry said throwing a mock-punch at Pete who easily dodged it while still laughing at his friend.
"Hmm." Pete stopped walking and posed in a thoughtful position is hand holding his chin with his arms crossed before he broke the pose and said "Nah Harry, but I think you should." Before he started laughing and running as Harry chased him yelling for him to stop.
Finally Peter slowed down as the neared the school gates which allowed time for Harry to grab his head and pull him in a noogie. "All right Harry you win. I'm sorry I ever said anything about your magnificent study skills." Harry huffed and let go of Peter, but Peter continued speaking "So tell me Harry, is the secret to your studying drooling over Ms. Romanoff?"
"Shut it Pete! It's not my fault you're the only guy in this school who isn't drooling over her! Besides I do not drool." Harry gave Peter a semi-serious expression before they both burst out laughing. After a minute or two their laughing ceased and they were left holding their stomachs.
"Say Pete, you wanna come over tonight and celebrate the end of term?" Harry asked.
"I'm not really sure Harry. Aunt May said something about having some guests over today and I'm not sure if it's one of those guest things were I'm supposed to stay out of the house or risk being embarrassed to death or not. I could call and ask if you want?" Peter said ask he reached into his school bag and pulled out his phone.
"Nah Pete; it's cool. I'm pretty sure if it's a guest thing you should be going to your house. Besides, Dad said he might be able to make it to dinner tonight." Harry said hopefully.
Peter nodded. "Yeah your right. But if Stormin' Norman doesn't show up or gets too much for you its cool if you call. I'll probably be begging you to call." Peter laughed while he waved bye to Harry and they both went in their separate directions with Peter on his skateboard and Harry going towards his waiting limo.

Peter's House; Thirty Minutes Later
"Hey Aunt May I'm back! And I got those cinnamon muffins you like from that bakery by my school! I already ate one but there's five more left so don't freak out!" Peter didn't look up from the book he had been reading as he walked home from the bakery and school. He had stopped skateboarding after he got yelled at by a cop.
Typical, I save this city loads of times and yet I'm not even allowed to skateboard on a sidewalk with no 'no skateboards here' signs. Peter snorted at his thoughts and he walked, still not looking up from the book, into the kitchen and set the box of muffins onto the counter.
"Peter." He turned around at the soft voice of his aunt. She was sitting on the same chair as yesterday and the three males from yesterday plus one new female were sitting in their small living room looking very cramped. The girl kept fidgeting as she tried to stay as far as she could from everyone in the room.
Peter raised his eyebrow in silent question as Aunt May beckoned for him to come out of the kitchen.
"Peter I don't think I properly introduced you to our guests from yesterday. This is Professor Xavier," Aunt May gestured to the bald guy in the wheel-chair who smiled at him "And his students Scott Summers and Rogue Maria." She gestured to the fidgeting girl and the guy in the red shades. "And the man in the corner is Logan. He was a close friend of your parents."
Peter's steps faltered so he was standing slightly in the kitchen and slightly in the living room when he heard this. This guy, Logan, had known his parents.
Peter looked at his Aunt May and said "Um… Aunt May what are they doing here?"
Aunt May sighed and she looked Peter in the eyes and he saw the unshed tears in them. Whatever she had to say to him was killing her inside.
"Peter, Professor Xavier has told me about your special talents." Peter's heart stopped. She couldn't mean his Spider talents could she? No. There was no way anyone could have figured it out unless Peter had told them. "And after your little episode from yesterday I think it's clear he's telling the truth." Peter raised his eyebrow in question once again. He didn't really remember much of yesterday afternoon. He remembered getting home, meeting Logan Professor Xavier and Scott, then leaving right afterwards. But Aunt May continued speaking "Peter he says that you're a mutant and that you have the X-gene like your parents."
Peter's face turned a pale white and he stuttered out "W-w-w-what ar-are you talking a-about Aunt May? T-that can't b-be t-true. I'm just plain, old Peter Parker. Nothing special about m-me." He tried to sound convincing but the unbelieving look Aunt May gave him made him flinch.
"Peter," Peter flinched at his name and looked towards Professor Xavier. "I've told your aunt about your special talents. You see you may not know this but you're a telepath who is able to blow up areas with his mind. Your X-gene has made you very special and very dangerous. I would like to offer y-"
Peter cut him off his anger at the lies this man had told his aunt taking over. "Offer me what exactly?" He said in a cold tone. "Offer for me to be a lab rat so you can see what makes me tick? Well you can take your offer and leave because I'm not a mutant." He glared at Professor Xavier.
"No Peter we do not what you to be a 'lab rat' as you put it. We want you to come to our school where you will be safe from people who want to use your gifts for evil or turn you into a lab ratWe have already extended the offer for you coming and joining us to your aunt and she has already accepted, but it is all your decision Peter."
Peter looked at Aunt May with a betrayed look on his face. "Aunt May you couldn't actually believe these guys could you? I mean I'm not a mutant!" His tone was pleading but she had a determined look on her face.
"Peter," She said in a calm tone. "You know there telling the truth. You saw the teapot from yesterday."
Peter cringed. He knew that somehow he had caused the teapot to explode and he didn't want to accept it.
"But Aunt May…" Peter trailed off when he saw the scared look in Aunt May's eyes.
She was scared. Scared that someone was going to come and take him away and use him as a science experiment where he would eventually get killed from the experiments.
"Fine." Peter sighed resigned. "I'll go to the school, but if I feel I have control of my powers and won't make anything explode I'm leaving, deal?"
Peter didn't even wait for their response he just turned and walked towards the staircase. He needed to pack and he most certainly needed to think about what he had just gotten himself into. Because he was certain that he was getting into some seriously deep shiznit.
