Spider-X Chapter 2

Opening scene Spider-Man is web-swinging through New York trying to get away from Xavier and his team.

"Asshole he and his team of brainwashed groupies can rot in hell!" said Spider-Man. There are so many questions in my head "What did he see in my head, will he come after me again, does he know about Aunt May, should I head back and warn her. No that will only hurt her and she won't want to see me after what happened to Uncle Ben." "Where am I going?" Spider-Man says to himself, "I was focusing so much on getting away I didn't see where I was going." I land on a nearby rooftop to cool off and figure out where I went exactly. "I've only been swinging for a few minutes so I shouldn't be far. If I go back, they will probably still be there." Spider-Man says to himself

"Do you always talk to yourself?" said a voice from behind. "Who's there!" Spider-Man yelled as he turned to face the voice and there was no one. "Behind you," said the same voice from behind again. I whip my head around and again see no one. I yell while looking around "Whoever you are you picked the wrong day to mess with me."

"I'm so intimidated by the 5 foot 6 teenagers in his pajamas." Said the voice. I turn my head once more and finally see the origin of the voice a man with silver hair and a cocky grin on his face he looked young maybe 18 he stands a good six feet tall and has a slim athletic build.

"Dear God more of Xavier's lackeys, listen I told your boss I'm not interested so whatever pro-mutant bull he's selling you can save it." Said Spider-Man.

"I'm borderline insulted you think I work for that asshole I listen to myself, and only one other person can tell me what to do." Said the silver-haired man.

"Pietro stop playing around and just explain who we are to him," said a female voice. I looked over and saw an olive-skinned woman with dark brown hair dressed in a bright red form-fitting coat she looked the same age as the man she was talking to.

"I Think it's best to leave the introductions to me," said a voice from above. As I looked up I saw the strangest and most intimidating thing I have seen in my whole life. A man wearing a purple helmet with matching armor and a cape. An actual cape like he was about to go to comic con or do a stupid stunt online. "Young mutant I am Eric Magnus and these are my children Pietro and Wanda Maximoff we know about your meeting with Charles and see you are understandably upset, but we have a much better offer for someone with your God-given abilities."

"No!" said Peter "If you aren't working with Xavier, who I don't trust, what makes you think I'll work with someone I know even less about."

"That's a fair assessment," said Eric as he landed.

He stepped closer to me and I stepped back.

"No need to fear us," said Eric "We aren't going to hurt you". Said Eric.

"Much," said Pietro

"You're not helping," said Wanda

"Since when do I ever?" said Pietro.

"Children," said Eric "Were in front of a potential recruit. Behave. Now where was I. Ah, yes we are a part of an organization, a Brotherhood if you will, to empower and teach young mutants to not live in fear of their abilities and embrace them" said Eric

"Yeah, great pep talk all my self-doubt is gone. Thanks see you never." I said. Just as I was about to swing away my web shooter wouldn't fire "C' mon stupid thing I just reloaded you." Said Spider-Man then the web shooters floated right off my wrists. "What is happening," said Spider-Man "That's me," said Eric "I have the power to control magnetism, what interesting devices you have built for yourself you are truly a talented young mutant." Said Eric.

"I need those, give them back!" said Spider-Man.

"I'll give them back after our conversation is over. You are homeless correct" said Eric.

"So are approximately 2 million other people in the U.S., you going to offer them membership in your whatever the hell it is?!" said Spider-Man.

"Listen, Spider-Man is it alright if I call you that." Said, Eric

"It's the name everyone else calls me so sure." Said Spider-Man

"You live in a moldy, foreclosed home eating junk food working for humans who don't care for or respect someone with your gifts. Not just mutant abilities but scientific as well." Said Eric. "You should be in a Top University honing your craft and changing the world not fetching coffee for ungrateful humans at day and fixing their messes by night." Said Eric as he took off his helmet and showed his face. Underneath that helmet, I saw a middle-aged man with hair the same color as Pietro's and the saddest look in his eyes reminded me of Uncle Ben.

"The world's unfair. Bad things happen to good people, you can't fix that," said Peter, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"No I can't but I can help you get a roof over your head, a hot meal to eat, and help get justice for our mutant brothers and sisters." Said magneto as he floated Spider-Man's web shooters back to him.

"What do you want from me," questioned Spider-Man.

"Fight for us, or with us I guess," said Pietro. "Fight!" "Fight who?" questioned Spider-Man. Eric shoot a quick angry glance at Pietro before turning back to Spider-Man and saying

"The humans robbed us of our rights, it is only natural to reclaim them through any means necessary." Said Eric.

Spider-Man sighed "You almost had me believing your crap." Said Spider-Man

"It's not crap. We do want to help mutants like yourself, but humanity will never allow us peace." Said Wanda. I put back on my web shooters and said

"So revenge that's your answer I'm just a kid, but even I know an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Said Spider-Man. "If that's all you wanted to say I think we're do-" Before I could finish I felt like I got punched in the stomach and my spider-sense flared. "What was th-". It happened again I was speaking and something knocked me in the back of my head this time. I looked around trying to assess the situation and noticed Pietro was gone and when I looked behind me I saw a blur whiz by before I saw Pietro kick me flat on my back. "Super speed" I managed to say in between the grunts of pain.

"Ding, Ding correct we have a winner," Said Pietro "You should have joined when we asked nicely". I was quickly punched by Pietro again and fell to the ground this time unmoving.

"Did you have to do that" Said Wanda.

"He wasn't agreeing with us so I only did what Dad was going to do next anyway, but faster". Said Pietro with the utmost confidence.

"He was going to join before you stupidly opened your mouth boy!" Said Eric.

"Now it's my fault you can't do your job!" Said Pietro.

"I've had enough of this, just get Spider-Man." Said Eric.

"Fine! Ungrateful old man" mumbled Pietro. Pietro walked over to me and as he bent over to grab me I webbed his feet to the floor and sucker punched Pietro before anyone else could react I webbed cocooned Eric and Wanda. I quickly yelled "Assholes" and swung off the roof
