The Amazing Spider-Man and The Astonishing Talon

CHAPTER 4

SPIDER-MAN GOES TO THE INSTITUTE

THE XAVIER INSTITUTE

Laura with her years of training had been instilled to always wake up at a certain time on her own, every day at that specific time, recently, it was getting easier to wake up in the morning without nightmares of the things she'd done. Sometimes she would still have them, rivers of blood beneath her feet as she watched more people be slaughtered by her hands, a chain on her neck, held by the shadow of the woman who tortured her, but recently, those nightmares had become less terrifying, because for the first time in her life she had someone who she knew was carrying their own heavy baggage of having led to death and they accepted it.

She opened her eyes from her sleep, and got ready, having to wait for Scott Summers to get out of the shower, him leaving fully dressed, his hair was even dried and she was shocked 'That man is weird' she steps in, coming out a few moments later, she gets ready as she goes with her usual gothic look, but she wears a pink sweater on top of it, the first time for her to be adding color to her attire, she rather liked it. Going down to the garage, she goes to once again steal Logan's motorcycle, but she quickly stops when she gets the quick scent of somebody, it was Logan and he was there with Ororo

"Young Child, may we ask were you are off too at such an early morning?" Ororo asked, her arms locked below her waist and her voice sounded concerned

"Somewhere important"

"Somewhere or Someone?" Logan questioned

She growled when he made an assumption

"Relax kid, we know about the Parker kid, the Professor got a reading off of him when you started the school week with the kid, wasn't sure why but Cerebro malfunctioned around him, like he was and wasn't a mutant" Logan explained to his kid "So...Spider-Man eh?"

"Peter is very nice and smart"

"Peter? Didn't know the two of you were on a first name basis"

Laura once again growled at her father

"But if you say the kid is good, I'll take your word for it, we'll go get him later, you, go do what you have to do"

Laura smiled, then all of a sudden, she hugged her father, Logan and Ororo both surprised by this as she puts on her helmet, getting on his bike as she drives out of the compound

"Do you think the boy is good for her?" Ororo asks, holding Logan

"Don't know, never met the kid, but she seems to like em, then I'll let her do her own thing"

"You sound almost like a father, Logan"

"That and I can swear his scent on her was vaguely familiar"

Laura hit the open road, the shadow of the woman stood in front of her trying to speak but to the teen aged girl, their words were inaudible as she rode right past it, the shadow fading away as she did.

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS

Peter Parker, having cleaned up not just his room, but also the entirety of the house, he realized that he invited a girl over and had spent three hours of the night cleaning up the house, even removing the cobwebs that had been bugging (No Pun included) Aunt May for a while, everything in his room that would be garbage, cleaned up, everything arranged and after getting out multiple pictures he had taken of Spider-Man/himself, including ones of him in his new suit, swung to the Daily Bugle and after a trial with Jameson, he managed to sell them for 790$, Betty was so happy to see him, as well as Eddie, he'd missed Eddie, Robbie and Ben Urich, he'd missed his work friends. Peter hadn't slept all night, but he didn't feel as tired as he normally would, his best guess was that a part of his new abilities was an even more reduced need for sleep and even more enhanced Endurance and Stamina, so he was done cleaning the house and decided it was time to take a shower.
