Author's voice: To avoid confusion this Peter Parker is from earth 1610. The ultimate universe because in this universe he's a teenager like Greer so... Although the requester suggested using scarlet spidey from the mainstream universe...As hard as I try I cannot link a story so... Since scarlet spidey is part of the clone saga...I'll be borrowing elements from Ultimate Spiderman: The Clone Saga ...Which elements I will not tell you... laughs evilly. Anyway to all those readers who have no idea what I'm talking about, I suggest you read the comic. If you can't get your hands on it just search in wikipedia:Ultimate Spiderman: The Clone Saga . It gives quite a good overview :) Ok thats it review and enjoy!

Both males turned to see Marie Nelson, the most feared and well-known reporter in the bugle leaning against the doorframe. "Nelson! Where were you? I needed you! I'm dying here!" Jameson bellowed his face flustered. "Out collecting the evidence to prove Spiderman's a menace...Which YOU sent me to find..." she replied coolly while pulling her raven hair into a bun. "You have it? Give it me now! Hurry woman! I need it now!" Marie only rolled her eyes and dropped the file she was grasping onto his desk. "Eat your heart out..." she said simply before slipping out. "Damn..." Peter thought. If he had spoke to Jameson that way, he would have been jobless long ago... "Parker? What you waiting for? A raise? Get out!" Jameson yelled as he lit a new cigar. Peter sighed and trudged back to his desk. "You ok kid?" Peter looked up and his hazel eyes met Marie Nelson's olive ones. "Um I'm fine...I'm fine..." he coughed trying to sound professional. Marie smiled and pressed a ten-dollar bill into his palm. "Go get lunch..." she instructed before entering her office.

Peter sat there dumbfounded before stuffing the bill into his pocket and turning back to his work. Ten minutes later, Peter got bored and shut off his terminal. Closing his eyes he prepared to take a five-minute nap when... "Excuse me..." a voice asked. The voice was silky and melodious with a slight purr... Peter's eyes shot wide open. In front of him was the most beautiful girl he had seen. Even better then MJ or Gwen or both of them combined...If that was possible... She was tall and slender, her skin ivory white, her hair tumbled down her back like a raven waterfall, her dark blues eyes shone brightly while her delicate but sharp features were fixed into a slight frown. Peter gulped nervously. "Act cool..." he thought.

"Hi...Hi I'm Parker Pe...I mean I'm Parker. Peter Parker..." Peter fumbled clumsily. " I'm such an idiot..." he thought as he forced and uneasy smile. To his surprise, the girl laughed. Her laughter sounded melodious, like wind chimes. It was a good-natured laugh, not one of malice or mockery. That made Peter relax a little. The girl then grinned flashing her perfectly formed white teeth. "Well hello Parker Peter Parker...Am I bothering you?" she asked raising a well defined eyebrow "Not at all...And oh its just Peter..." Peter corrected shyly. "Ok, got that... So Peter, I'm looking for Marie Nelson...Could you show me to her office? Its important." she asked politely. Peter felt himself shoot up like a spring. "Right! Of course! This way!" he declared enthusiastically before almost tripping over his own chair. Happily dazed, he led the girl to Marie's office and opened the door.

Marie Nelson sighed as she looked at the photograph on her desk and picked it up... It's been ages since she last spent Christmas with William, Gabriel and...And Greer... William her husband, was dead so there was no point willing him back. Gabriel was back but now studying in Harvard so the only one left to think about was Greer. Marie sighed. She remembered the time when Greer was normal... a stunning young girl, so beautiful, so graceful and so charming. Mommy and Daddy's little girl... Marie smiled a little only to look away sadly when she remembered the night where everything changed...

She had just gotten back from Spain with Steven. All she wanted to do was check on the kids and go straight to bed. Fate had other plans... Upon entering the living room, a thunderous roar boomed and echoed through the house scaring the living daylights out of her. Worried to death about Greer, she had flown up the stairs and into Greer's room only to come face to face with that...that animal. She remembered the darkness of the room and how Marie couldn't see it properly. However she remembered the gleaming eyes and fangs and how it attempted to scratch her with its talon like claws and how she screamed sending the animal to bound away on all fours. She remembered hearing gunshots and when she ran down screaming for Steven to capture it. In the darkness, she couldn't see it well but she could hear it well enough... It was thrashing and whimpering, its long, stripped tail whipping around crazily knocking over furniture. As Steven aimed one last shot at it, the animal whipped around with its claws outstretched. With a wild swipe, its claws tore through the gun like it was made out of paper. As Marie and Steven backed away in fear, the animal let out what seemed like a low whine before bounding out of the door on all fours leaving them alone in the darkness.

Greer went missing after that. The community and the police looked everywhere but they couldn't find her. Marie blamed the animal on Greer's disappearance. She couldn't explain it but she had a gut feeling that the animal and Greer were somehoe connected in some weird way. One day, she got a mysterious phone call from a man named Charles Xavier. He had requested her to travel down to Bayville claiming he had found her daughter. Eagerly, she had immediately booked a plane ticket to Bayville. Once arriving in Bayville and driving down to the Institute, she was greeted by a bald, handicapped man in his mid forties and a beautiful white haired African woman who was assisting him. With only a few words, they had led her through a series of rooms and into his office. After telling her to brace herself, the African women opened a door. Marie gasped in shock as Greer stepped out. She wasn't hurt, she wasn't disfigured, and she didn't look like she was traumatized by rape or anything else... She just looked a bit afraid.. Marie attempted to hug her long lost daughter, embrace her, show how much she missed Greer...But all Greer did was gently push her away. She remembered feeling hurt and confused. As she tried again, Greer sat her down. "Mom...please don't get scared when I do this..." her voice was soft, almost a whisper. Slowly she reached for a locket around her neck and pressed it. Marie stifled a scream as she watched Greer transform into that thing...

Marie snapped out of her reverie as she heard her door swung open. "Miss Nelson...You have a visitor..." Peter announced as he walked in. Behind him was no other than... "Greer..." Marie said simply narrowing her eyes as the beautiful girl slinked gracefully into the room. "Mother..." Greer replied with equal coldness. Peter stopped short. "Mother?" he thought. "The girl's mother was Marie Grant Nelson?" he asked himself. Looking closely at the two women he cursed himself for not noticing the obvious family resemblance. How could he miss it? Same hair, same features same built...The only difference was probably eye shape and height. Greer's eyes although large were more slanted and almond shaped compared to her mother's wide set and rounded eyes. Plus, Marie was almost one head shorter than Greer. "Peter...Leave us will you?" Marie instructed firmly pointing at the door. Wanting to stay on Marie's good side, Peter did as he was told. Shutting the door, he took a deep breath and walked back to his desk. Closing his eyes and getting comfortable, Peter prepared to fall into a well needed nap and... "PARKER!"
