The Unlimited Omni-Spider

Chapter 27

After a quick training session and a walk through memories of his training days, Ben was now with his siblings and they were heading downstairs to talk to Kurt Wagner, Nightcrawler and also their Uncle.

Honestly, both Casey and May thought this conversation was mainly meant to warn Ben or something. They felt that perhaps Kurt just tells Ben not to cause any trouble to prevent the Council members from trying to do anything to him.

Kurt: Oh, hi kids!

Peter: Good morning!

Kitty:Ehh, Casey and May? The three of us preferred to just talk to Ben.

Casey: Not a chance. I will not leave him without any defense in this case.

Ben: Dude, you know as little about this as I do and you're not a lawyer.

Casey: Yeah, but if they ask you a question and you can't come up with an alibi, then that's your problem.- When he finished saying that, May hit him on the head and pulled him by the ear.

May: Good luck, little brother.- She said as she put her hand on Ben's shoulder to calm him down. Even though this conversation is with their Uncle, what really worried them was that this had involvement with the Quiet Council members, who were the highest authority in Krakoa. And maybe even in the world, since everyone has mutant powers, diplomatic immunity and very advanced technology.

Ben: So why did they call me in the principal's office?- He said, trying to make a joke to break the ice.

Peter: Hey! What was it? That was a good joke.-He said when he saw that Kitty and Kurt looked at him with a raised eyebrow

Kitty: Well, let's start right off talking about the main subject. Ben, Kurt told us about the situation and we assume you already know.

Peter: Yeah, and now he needs you to explain your side of the story so he can explain it to the other Council members.

Kurt: Yeah, well I... uh, your parents have already explained everything so I guess you can start explaining yourself- Kurt tells Ben to sit down and everyone looks at him with worried looks and that's understandable. Seeing someone you love involved in the murder of someone as powerful as Selene Gallio can really make one very concerned.

Ben took a deep breath and said: Okay, when I got home last night, I fell asleep but then I woke up in the middle of the night. I went to my closet and got some clothes and also created this Katana here- He puts the katana on the table- then I remember going to Krakoa to use a Gate that would take me to London. Afterwards, I spent some time there and met Dawn and Irene, they were there to see a show and then I joined them and went back home afterwards.

He didn't mention Sora because he knew she didn't live on Krakoa, and even though she was a mutant, it was possible that there was some very worrying reason why she didn't live on Krakoa but still visited the island and had friends there. He had to remember to ask her about it sometime, but asking someone who's only been his girlfriend for a day didn't really seem like a good idea.

Kurt: I understand, that...can be a problem.

Peter: What? Why?

Kurt: Ben's story has some holes like: what were you doing in London?

Ben: I don't know either. I woke up, and I went over there and found the girls. That's all I remember.

Kitty: And the katana? Do you remember why you created it?

Ben: No...

Peter: And when you arrived in London, did you do anything before meeting your friends?

Ben: I...don't know. I'm sorry. But I swear it wasn't me. I would never kill someone that way. And I don't remember anything at all. Listen, I know you guys are disappointed in me and I'm sorry but you have to believe me.
