"Caught in the Web of the Spider."

I looked at my hands, 'when I was sent here I thought it was thanks to some cosmic entity going bored and wanting to have some fun….could that be the case? Did they design it in such a way I can never share any form of information with anyone? Strange….then how did I tell Matt about Fisk? That's something he shouldn't know and discover on his own...does that mean there are special conditions?'

I knew one thing for sure, I need to do more research into what I can and cannot say. I looked at Xavier, what did I know about the Evolution story line? Oh wait!

"You need to be weary, A#$#% " I stopped, "fuck me!" I meant to say, 'you need to be weary, Apocalypse is coming.' But obviously that didn't work out.

Xavier looked surprised, "what was that?"

I sighed, "I just tried to #$%#$%# , oh come on! I can't even $% #$?! Fuck me!"

Xavier was surprised, "Peter...are you alright?"

I waved his worry away, "yeah, yeah, just...I'm just trying to figure out what the limits are on this thing. Fuck me, I'm useless."

Xavier placed a hand on my shoulder, "Peter, you are anything but. Maybe...maybe I don't have the answers you seek. But I know that you do. Perhaps you should spend the rest of this weekend trying to figure out who you are, without the heroics of Spider-man and the life of Peter Parker."

I sighed and got up, "yeah, okay. Thanks for trying proffessor, I appreciate it."

"Any time," Xavier said as I walked out and closed the door behind me. There's one lead crushed. But at least I get to stay here for two days, that's something.

I walked around the mansion, trying to find someone to help me into a room. I sighed, I activated my enhanced sense of hearing and tried to find a heartbeat. But instead I heard a rumbling coming from below. Growing curious I decided to check it out. I looked around for a way to get to the basement, when I realised it was probably hidden.

I did my best to remember what I could from the TV show, didn't they have some kind of secret entrance? Hidden behind an armour of some kind? Hm.

I looked around and- Ah-ha! I found it. A suit in the end of a dead corridor. I searched around for a secret button and found it immediately near the back.

I pressed it and slowly the armour split in half and opened up. I walked in with a smile and had the lift go down.

The doors opened to a metallic hall that was so advanced I could hardly believe it. I walked down the corridor and found the noise coming from the door to my left. I found a control panel to the side and pressed it open, revealing the Danger Room.

In the middle of the room was a giant hall, metallic walls with laser and giant machine gun coming out of it. Running around it in a sort of high tech deadly obstacle course was the X-men.

"Alright Kurt you're doing great, just hang in there!" Jean cheered from the finish line with Scoot as they watched Rouge, Kathy and Kurt run the course. I looked around for Evans but couldn't find him anywhere.

I turned to the X-men running the course and I have to admit I was impressed. The way Kathy moved through instruments of death made her seem like a perfect candidate for infiltration missions. While Kurt and Rogue had to work more for their victory, Kathy just breezed through it.

She ran to the finish line and jumped into the air, "and I'm first! Again!"

"No fair!" Rouge called out as she jumped over a hurdle and under a laser beam, bringing up second place while Kurt brought up third. How a teleporter had so much trouble winning a race I have no idea, but whatever.

"Well that certainly was impressive," Scott said smiling, "Kurt, you managed to reached all fifteen needed marks in order to pass the course, I'm impressed," ah, that explains it, "Rouge, you need to work a little bit on your gymnastics, but otherwise you're just fine," the girl scoffed, "and Kitty….we'll need to get you a new course."

"It doesn't matter what course we get her! She will just phase through it!" Kurt cried out, "it's not fair!"

Kathy snickered, "says the teleporter!"

"I have limitations on my powers, can't you do the same?" Kurt asked in a begging tone.

Scott and Jean shared a look before the teenage boy replied, "we'll see what we can do."

"Maybe I can help," I called out leaving my duffle bag at the door as I walked in. I looked around and whistled, "I have to say, very impressive. I wish I had a room like this...on second thought I would probably just turn into a really kinky sex dungeon first chance I get."

Scott groaned as he pinched his nose, "how did you get in here?"

I shrugged, "I'm a pretty good detective. So what's this place called? Gym 101?"

"It's called the Danger room," Jean supplied with a smile, "would you like to take a run at it?"

I looked around, "meh, why not? Shouldn't be too difficult."

"Oh really?" Rouge asked scoffing, "shows what you know."
