I don't own Spiderman or X-men Evolution, as they both belong to Marvel. The only thing that I own is this story.

X-MEN/Spiderman – Hidden Within

Chapter 1 – Calling Out Part 1

Screaming was all that could be heard as well as the sound of flames crackling in the background as the flames became an inferno.

Smoke was beginning to fill his lungs as he tried to move underneath the debris. But it was no use as some of the metal timbers that had fallen from the ceiling had his legs trapped to the floor, his strength had just about failed him even though he was stronger than any normal human ever since he was bitten by that radioactive spider several years ago and yet it wouldn't even budge.

Slowly the screams died away until the only sounds that could be heard was himself choking and the flames even though the screams had vanished, the silence was just as deafening. Suddenly his Spider sense went into overdrive as more of the ceiling caved in on him, quickly he moved his arms to protect his face. When he felt nothing more fall on top of him except that the smoke was getting thicker causing him to cough more violently. As he calmed down enough he slowly moved his arms away from his face only to see a dark figure standing by where the door used to be a couple of meters away. The figure looked humanoid enough but it was hard to tell as the smoke and flames made it hard to see. Suddenly the figure charged straight towards him before suddenly pouncing, claws out stretched..

Peter eyes suddenly snapped open before coming into focus only to find himself sitting at a base of a tree in the middle of Central Park, New York City. Slowly he got up and stretched before letting out a depressed yawn as he picked up his backpack that had all of his things in side. He looked at his watch to see it was only 13:00pm in the afternoon, he groaned quietly to himself. He had slept most of the morning away from walking around most of the night. He had been sleeping roughly for the past three months as he didn't have any money to get room for some nights nor did he want to go back to the orphanage as they would properly send him back to another foster family.

For four months he had moved from one foster home to another, the last foster home he was at was in Canada and that one was the worst of the lot. Not that he wished to remember any part of those terrible memorise. As he walked out of the park he saw a couple of young children no older the six or seven playing with their parents at a game of tag. This made him feel as though he had missed out on many things like having family to care for him and having friends that wouldn't beat you up because you were a nerd with interests for the future then mess around and beat you up each day.

He shook his head negatively as he tried to get rid of these thoughts to no provable, so instead he looked away and placed his hands in his pockets as he continued to walk out of the park. Slowly a painful memory appeared in his mind making him want to break something with anger but didn't as he didn't wish for people to notice him, not after everything he had...no, he mustn't think about the past.

Flashback Begins

"You fucking brat, look what you've done now!" Jackson yelled punching the boy in the stomach causing Peter to lunge forward in pain. (If you haven't guessed, Jackson is Peter's forth foster father who was supposed to look after him.) Which he had done for the first week and a half but he had somehow found out about his abilities and had began believing that Peter was a mutant. Since then he had began seeing the boy in a different light along with his family and began hating the boy.

"But I didn't..." Peter couldn't even finish as the man had grabbed him roughly by the hair, forcing Peter to stand. If you're asking or thinking about why Peter wasn't fighting back it was because his powers have been on the blip recently, making him powerless against the man.

"Look what you did, mutie" Jackson yelled as he forced the boy to look at where he was pointing. There at the corner of the kitchen was his adopted Mother 'Julie' watching them, with so called tears running down her face. Her so called cries were full of laughter, evil laughter as Peter struggled to be free as she slowly came forward before punching him in the face.

Suddenly the front door opened as a man walked in with a mask placed firmly on his face showing no emotion what so ever as his laid his cold eyes on the boy. Julie's face suddenly became serious. 'Ah, the good doctor's arrived."

'I believe that I have mentioned that he wasn't to be harmed" he stated calmly. "No matter, he'll do."

Flashback Ending

Thankfully that memory puffed away as it did, Peter felt his stomach grumble in protest on having not eaten for a couple of days. 'I guess just eating chocolate bars has its limits' Peter though as rain began to fall.

Quickly he picked up his pace as the rain came down harder, hitting his clothes like bee stings. Speaking of clothes, the only clothes he had were the ones he was wearing: a red t-shirt, dark blue jeans and trainers in addiction not good for wet weather. His clothes were covered in rips from having to sleep rough due to the fact he hasn't got any money to find a place to stay or buy a coat, if he had found a place to stay, too many people would ask questions or send him back to foster care.

Carefully he slid in and out of the shadows, trying not to be seen by anyone.

Scott merely groaned, he couldn't believe what was happening. First he gets asked by Rogue to drop her and Kitty off at the mall and then due to some accident he gets stuck in traffic with the two arguing girls in the back over which shop they were going to first whilst the other X-Men had gone to the shopping mall using the X-van much earlier in the day.

"Hey Scott, just drop us off at the next junction it would make it easy for us to get to the mall" Rogue stated as she glanced out the window next to her.

"Like, it will make it easy for us to get there in the first place anyway" Kitty said but all they got was a sign. 'But no, you had to ask Scott.'

He merely looked over his shoulder before looking back to the road as the traffic had stated moving again. 'You wanted a lift, so stick to it."

Kitty merely crossed her arms across her chest whilst Rogue continued to look out of her window, when something caught the corner of her eye but when she looked to see what it was it, it was gone.

"Like, what's up Rogue?" Kitty asked noticing Rogue's sudden mood change on how hard she was looking out the window.

"Nothing I thought I saw something" Rogue answered as leaned back into her seat.

Duncan Matthews merely glared at his younger half brother and his mates before turning to get something out of his car. "Hey Flash," he called as the young boy turned to look at him as he through some beer cans over to them.

"Men, you're the best bro" Flash stated as he opened his can and began to chug it down his throat. "What are you guys waiting for?"

"I dunno man, won't we get caught?" Derek Sanchez (if that's how you spell it?) the Star Runner Back asked looking at Flash's older brother.

"You guys are such losers, it's time to get toasted" Matthews answered, each of them nodding to him in agreement as Flash chucked his can into the nearest bin five meters away.

"Score," Duncan merely rolled his eyes at their loudness on such an easy target.

Once they had managed to calm down enough something or someone caught the corner Flash's eye whilst walking past the shops in the shadows. A boy slightly younger then himself, was hiding in the shadow, an evil smirk spread across his face once he recognised who that person was.

"Parker," Flash yelled only to get noticed by the figure, who suddenly made a break for it. "Get back here nerd boy."

Peter quickly disappeared into the crowds of people whilst remaining in the shadows. Many of the shops he had walked past had outside stalls and it wasn't likely that any of the shop workers were going to complain about such small editable objects going missing, like sweets and crisps, weren't always everyone's first priority as things in shops stalls disappear all of the time and anyway a guy got to eat somehow, right?

Quickly he hid around the corner into an alleyway, away from the public and the busy streets of New York City. Slowly he dug into his pockets to see what he had managed to swipe. He had two chocolate bars and a packet of crisps. 'Well, that was easier than expected, but I'm not going to get far on these."

Slowly Peter ate what he had managed to swipe. Once he finished, Peter headed off back onto the streets once again. He held his arms around his chest as he tried to keep warm, 'talk about getting wet.'

As he continued to walk in the shadows, he heard someone very familiar yell out his name "Parker." He recognised that voice anywhere, he took one look over his shoulder and instantly knew he shouldn't have. Flash Thomson and his gang were heading straight towards him and it didn't look like they were going to stop anytime soon. There was one other person with them and he had an uncanny resemblance to Flash but was much older with the exception of blond hair, green eyes and a different coloured jacket properly from a football team.

One word instantly came to Peter's mind and that one word was RUN.

Rogue merely glanced around the shops around the shopping mall, she just couldn't seem to be able to find anything that she liked not that she had any time to look around as Kitty was dragging her along, not allowing her to stop to have a look around for herself. Not that she had a choice in the matter as Scott had told everyone to stay together in pairs. Of course he want off with Jean, Kurt was with Tabitha, Bobby was with Jubilee and Rogue was stuck with Kitty Great.

"Hey Rogue what's wrong? You've like hardly looked at anything!" Kitty asked stopping to turn and look at her.

"You're the one dragging me around so fast that I can't get enough time to look at anything!" Rogue answered glaring at Kitty before thinking back to the movement she saw before. 'What was it?'

"Rogue, hello?"

"What?" Rogue asked slapping Kitty's hand away from her face.

"You were like, spacing out. Thinking about Remy again?" Kitty asked, ignoring the glare she was getting.

"I am not, Get out of here" Rogue stated hands on hips.

"Ah, come on Rogue. What's wrong in that?"

Rogue was about to say something when there was an explosion from above. Causing the entire mall to shake and parts of the ceiling to collapse, causing major panic as everyone was trying to get out of the mall as fast as possible without getting hurt.

"Rogue, Kitty, Look out!"

Okay, this is chapter 1. What do you guys think? And I must apologise for having to sort out this chapter as when I tried my computer kept, without all the technical references, promptly freaked out on me.
