The "Ultimate Marvel" RPG Seasson II Game Thread

[Spider-Man9X17]

Mary Jane lay belly down on her bed, feet pointed staright up in the air as she read over her homework on last time for the night.

Her thoughts were interuppted by a clinking sound at the window. She looked up to see Peter, out of costume, hanging upside down just outside.

"Peter!" she ran to the window and flung it open.

"What are you...Oh my God...what's happened to yoAAGH."

Peter lashed out, grabbing her by the neck. MJ left out a small squeal, getting her first good look at Peter. His eyes were a solid, shiny black, and appeared to be...rippling?

"Pe...Pet....the su..."

Venom squeezed harder, forcing MJ backwards and onto the bed. There was a sudden glint in the souless eye, a sick, sadistic smile crossing Peter's face.

No, not Peter. Not anymore.

[BLACKOUT]"Killing her right away would be such a waste. To truly destroy Parker, we must take him to a point of no return...and beyond."[/BLACKOUT]

A long, slimy tongue emerged from the human form of Venom's mouth, licking it's lips.

[BLACKOUT]"No, first we enjoy the greatest of human pleasures. Then...then, we feed."[/BLACKOUT]

MJ tried to scream, tried to plead as the monster began to tear her T-shirt. Nothing came out, as she felt herself start to fade away...

Part Three: The Human Dashboard Lighter & Asbestos Boy


"Reed, What the hell just happened and where are my children?"

I take a break from reading the lines of code to answer Dr. Storm's inquiry.

"I don't know Dr. Storm, the best I can do is look over the lines of code and see what went wrong."

It's been thirty minutes since my best and only friends in the world vanished into thin air and I found out I move like a living Stretch Armstrong doll.

"Listen Reed you don't understand, I promised there mother that nothing bad would happen to them, I swore it on her deathbed."

I look at that last line of code and I realize what happened.

"Victor! Victor must have changed the code when Ben came in when I find him I swear to god I'm gonna shove my fist so far up his As---"

Before I can finish a military officer walks in flanked by two armed soilders.

"Dr. Storm and Dr. Richards, I am Corporal Thaddeus Aloysius Cadwallader Dugan, I'm here to tell you that we found Mr. Grimm and Mr. Storm and from what our intellegence has surmised this project is now under S.H.I.E.L.D duristriction, me are moving this back to the Baxter Building."

"You found Johnny? Where was he?"

"We found him in the south of France and Mr. Grimm was in Mexico, they are both En Route to the Baxter Building as we speak. You might need to prepare yourself."

The Baxter Building


On the plane ride back from New York the only two things going through my mind where my worry about Sue and Victor and what happened to Ben and Johnny that we need to be prepared. Were lead to Johnny first, he's sitting in the big monitor room all by himself. Dugan is already in the observation chair of the room, looking down on Johnny, He seems alright, no pyshical deformities from what I can tell. Dugan puts his mouth to the microphone.

"Okay Johnny, go ahead."

A small grin is on Johnny's face when he speask those two little words.

"Flame On!"

And with that Johnny burst into flames, his whole body set ablaze.

Me and Dr. Storm's jaws drop to the floor.

"Okay Johnny that's good."

"Flame Off!"

The Flames dissapear as fast as they appeared.

"Well as you can see, Johnny seems to have some type of pyrokenisis realated to spontaneous compustion. He can set hiself on fire at will, we don't know what the effects are so far, but you two can run some test, lets go see Mr. Grimm."

Dr. Storm and I are amazed beyond comprehensive thought. we just follow Corporal Dugan into smaller monitor room, what I see on the inside shocks me to this day, The man I knew as Ben Grimm was replaced by a...well look at this picture below

"Is that Ben Grimm?"

Dugan just looks in.

"Yup, the best we can tell his whole body, inside and out is covered with a rocky hide."

Just then there is a crash and outside the window a huge snake like monster crashes through the new york street.

"Tell me that's not Sue."

Part Four: The Rise of Moleman


"What the frag is that?"

Ben and Johnny join me from there observation rooms. I turn to see the look on Johnny's face, he must be seeing Ben for the first time. He pokes Ben's arm.

"Ben Grimm?"

I stretch my arm out about five feet and come in between Ben and Johnny, they both look at me with stupified looks.

"No time to explain, what do we do about the sixty foot monster outside?"

Johnny looks out the window and nods.

"Flame On!"

Johnny burst into flames, melting the glass. He blasted off and flew out into the sky.

"Did he just?"

"Yeah, I think he did."

"Well times awastin stretcho."

Ben jumps out the window and lands into the street with a thud and a crater to show for it.

"I probably should have thought that through."

I take the stairs, leaping down them thirty at a time. By the time I reach the outside of the baxter building Johnny is circiling around the monster sporatically blasting him, Meanwhule Ben was throwing cars at the monster's face, I'm fascitanted by the fact that the craggy form Ben has taken has made him nigh invunearable. I leap up and wrap myself around the monster's mouth.

"Ben, Johnny. Help me!"

Johnny blast him in the mouth, setting my arm on fire.

"AHH! I SIAD HELP ME NOT BURN ME!"

I unwrap myself and fall to the ground, putting out the fire in the process. Ben throws a manhole at the monster's chest. I wrap myself around two light poles, leaving my midsection open.

"Ben! Run at my stomach."

Ben sees what I'm trying to do he runs into my stomach at full speed as I send him back toward the monster like a slingshot. Ben is going at full speed when he punches the monster in the mouth

*THUNK!*

The monster's eyes cross as he falls back into the huge crater he created. The three of us look down into the mammoth crater leading to god knows what.

"Think Sue's down there?"

"She might be."

"News Team, Let's hunt."

Ben jumps into the darkness.

"What does News Teams have to do with this?"

Johnny just laughs.

"You really need to start watching movies."

He follows Ben into the darkness, his flames illuminating the walls of the opening. I shrug my shoulders and stretch my torso about a hundred feet to the nearest foothold. I descend into the darkness with a rockman and a boy on fire looking for a huge monster, I'd say my day has been pretty eventful so far.

IC Max Dillon: Electro
Season II - Part Five

Daredevil layed crumpled on the rooftop, wisps of smoke still rising from the blackened area of his suit where Electro had basted him. He struggled to rise and was on his hands and knees when Electro touched down next to him, sniffing the air.

"You know, for a devil, you don't seem to enjoy the whole hellfire and brimstone thing much." Daredevil did not respond. "Maybe you should try a different approach to this crimefighting thing. You could call yourself The Red Lico--" Daredevil took a tired swipe at Electro's knees but missed. Electro kicked him in the stomach, the blow sending him on to his back.

"Be still!" Electro said. He turned his back on Daredevil and took out the small stack of twenties he had stolen from Matt Murdock. "Crap. What am I supposed to do with this, go to a movie?" With a mere thought, he turned the bills in his hand to a flaming heap of paper. He heard movement behind him. Daredevil had gotten to his feet.

"I don't know who you are handsome, but you picked a fight with the wrong guy tonight." Daredevil was again silent. "Giving me the cold shoulder? Fine. Be that way. Me? I think I'm gonna have me a little cookout!"

He hurled a bolt at Daredevil, but the masked vigilante easily jumped aside. Another bolt was fired but Daredevil jumped it again and came down rolling towards Electro, sweeping him off his feet with a trip. Electro came down on his back but shot a wave of sparks at Daredevil, hoping to temporarily blind him. It had no effect.

Daredevil attempted to stomp on Electro with both feet but the criminal rolled away at the last second before blasting the spot where he had just layed, knocking Daredevil off balance. From the ground, Daredevil whipped his billy-club at Electro catching him hard in the sternum and knocking the wind out of him.

"Damn! This guy's fast! I've got end this now!" Electro thought. He began to charge up for a deadly blasted when suddenly, the surge of electricity that always filled his body winked out of existence. "NO! NOT AGAIN!"

Daredevil, seeming to sense his opponent's sudden panic, lashed out with his billy-club, which wrapped around Electro, pinning his arms to his torso. Daredevil, then began to advance towads his foe.

"No no! Wait! This isn't right!" Electro whined. "You can't hit me! Don't do it! I'm... I'm unarmed!"

"Be still." One solid punch to the jaw shut Electro up... finally.

[ArchAngel]

I start where I last saw Ali, I start doing slow sweeps letting my enhanced senses try and point out anything. And thats when I saw it, a flash of multicolored light coming from an alley a block away. I land on the rooftop overlooking the alley and look down to see that bastard Deadpool fighting Ali, I press the X on my suit.

"Professor, I'v found Ali. Shes fighting Deadpool right now, im going to break it up."

I aim my wings at deadpool and fire a pair of 'feather' darts coated with a special neuro toxin extracted from one of Dr. Mactaggert's patience.

Mid-charge, Deadpool tumbles to the ground, stuck with shining metal blades.

X23 whirls to the source of the projectiles, and sees Angel swooping through the sky. Now as Archangel once more. She looks from Deadpool to her new adversary, panicked and angry, a cornered animal.

She growls and lashes threateningly at the air with two long and deadly claws.

I land not far from the fallen Deadpool and look at the creature standing before me, as much as I want to yell out to her I keep my voice calm.

"Im here to bring you home Ali, the Professor can help you but you'll have to come with me.

She growls and slashes at the air.

"Ali im not asking you im telling you, your coming back to the mansion with me. I know your still in there and you understand what im here to do. Would I really have this metal incase my wings again for no good reason, I did it for you!"

I push the emotions back and make my voice calm and emotionless again.

"So how are we going to do this? Willing or forcefully?

"So how are we going to do this? Willing or forcefully?

X23 carefully examines her foe, looking him up and down, calculating each advantage, disadvantage. No hint of recognition is within her expression.

It is time to decide: Fight? or flight?

With uncanny speed she whirls around and takes off into the night, running through alleys and streets, her feet barely hitting the ground. Hidden by shadows and sometimes illuminated by streetlamps and passing cars, the creature moves like a knife through the night, adamantiam glinting visciously.

I shake my head as the creature turns and runs.

"Fine forcefully it shall be."

I open my wings and launch into the air like a rocket. It wasent hard following her, even if those weapon X creeps designed her to be completely stealthy my enhanced senses tracks her with ease. I concentrate and hear a metallic clank as the neuro darts are replaced with darts coated with a strong tranquilizer.

"Please forgive me Ali."

I aim my wings at her and fire a barrage of darts at her.

She tumbles to the ground from the force of the darts, rolling along the ground which tears at her skin, leaving her scraped and bloody.

"RRrrrrrrrrr" She lets out a low growl, pushing her self up from the ground.

Slowly she turns to face Archangel as he lands behind her.

She leaps forward and lashes with her claws, but halfway towards him she stumbles and falls to her knees.

She shakes and sways for a few moments, then looks up towards him with wide eyes, before falling to the ground in a deep sleep.

"Professor I got Ali, im bringing her back now."

<Good job Warren, I'll have everything ready by the time you get back.>

"Alright Professor, im on my way."

I bend down and gently lift Ali into my arms and take take to the air. I look down at Ali and gently kiss her on her forehead.

"Please come back to me."

 

[Spider-Man9X17]

[BLACKOUT]"Ffffffleshhhhh"[/BLACKOUT]

Mary Jane lay nearly exposed on the bed, only a few shreds of clothing covering her.

A slimey, writhing tentacle reached out for her prone form.

"NO!"

The tentacle snapped back, us if on instinct.

[BLACKOUT]"You. You should be deeeeeeeead."[/BLACKOUT]

"Get off of me. Get out of my mind!"

[BLACKOUT]"It 's no longer your mind. Your body."[/BLACKOUT]

"Then why am I still talking."

Venom slammed against the wall, as if hit by some unseen force.

[BLACKOUT]"You are only making this harder on you, boy. If this is how you want it, then we will make you wactch as we violate and kill this subspecimen, and then your end will come slowly, and painfully."[/BLACKOUT]

"SHUT UP!"

Venom's arm suddenly whipped around, it's tendrils lodging themself into the light socket on the wall. The socket sparked as all the lights in the house began flickering uncontrolablly.

The suit screamed in pain as it wiggled and writhed around its host, unable to free itself, until it finally exploded outwards, expelling it's host across the room.

Spider-Man smacked against the far wall, rolling to the floor and grabbing his head.

His head was pounding, he could hardly breath, his body ached all over.

But he was free.

[ArchAngel]

I was worried that the tranq would wear off before I could get back to the mansion but I guess im luckier then I give myself credit as i land in the X-jet's hanger bay.

<Warren bring her to the med lab.>

<You got it Professor.>

I carry Ali into the med lab and is surprised to see Scott standing beside the Professor and Dr. Mctaggert. Scott tenses up when he sees me, obviously the Professor did'nt tell him about the metal wings.

"Put her on the table Warren, and strap her down."

I do as im told placing Ali gently onto the table and strap the metal shackles onto her wrists and ankles. I look up and see Dr. McTaggert inject somthing into her arm.

"Whats that?"

"Its just a stronger dose of the tranquilizer thats some of your dart are coated with, we don't want her waking up anytime soon. Ready when you are Charles."

The Professor wheels over to here and places his hands to her temples.

"Be prepared for anything Scott, Warren. I don't really know whats going to happen."

He closes his eyes and concentrates.

 

[Noon]

IC: Xavier

The med lab fades from around me and I appear in an arid landscape that represents Alison&#8217;s mind. My astral form not hindered by my physical disability, I stand in the red sand of a hot desert that stretches out to a hazy horizon without interruption, a few skulls of some unidentified species poke through and the grains are blown about by a wind I cannot feel.

"Ali?"

I call out into the desert, hoping to provoke her form to appear. I look to my left, sensing a presence. Ali stands there on a dune, glassy eyed.

"Alison, it's Xavier"

Her image flickers then disappears. I find myself suddenly in a dark room, furnished like an ordinary Manhattan flat. It is set apart by being small and dark, the furniture is worse for wear and everything is still except for a small flickering TV. I look at the main chair that sits in front of the TV, but it is empty. I notice something on the other side of the chair. I step round to see, and find Ali, curled with her knees to her chin, eyes fixed on the screen, emotionless and blank. I turn and concentrate on the screen, and after a few seconds the flickering turns to images.

​

Scenes from a laboratory, they start off tame enough, just Ali in some kind of medical bay, scientists wandering around. Then it starts to get worse. Cutting and hot metal, blood and knives. On the screen her mouth moves as if crying out, but there is no sound. Sometimes the figure shifts, changing from Alison to Logan. I have to look away.

How terrible must it be, to not only have Logan's nightmares, but a new set of her very own.

Just as I think of him, I hear his voice.

"How you doing, Chuck?"

I turn back to face the room, and Logan now occupies the chair. He is covered with wires and needles, but sits as casually as can be, smoking a cigar.

"Of course, some remnant of your consciousness was left over after the infusion...I didn't think it would be this strong still"

"I've come to help you out, Chuck"

He nods to where the TV once was, but now that half of the room has become a white cell, in one corner of which is a hunched and shaking figure; Alison.

"Do you remember before all this, she was such a firecracker, so full of rebellion and fire? Then we got a hold of her."

He takes a puff of his cigar.

"It's my fault you know. I gave her those claws...otherwise, she was just some sparker."

"You saved her life"

"Did I?"

Silence descends as we watch the figure, huddled in that corner. I don't have time to reminisce though, the drugs will wear off.

"How can you help me?"

"I can only tell you this, Chuck. You can't destroy it...the beast, it's part of us. You have to cage the beast Charlie"

I stare at him a moment, considering his words, then nod.

"Look"

I turn back to the white cell, but the scene shifts again as I move, and I find myself in darkness, confronted by a creature.

[Venom160]

[ArchAngel]

Time slowly ticks by as the Professor remains motionless, eyes closed in deep concentration. I look over and see that Scott keeps shooting looks at me, which isnt easy to spot considering the ruby quartz visor blocking his eyes.

"Ya know Scott im not going to attack you, you can let down your guard."

"Im sorry Warren its just that seeing you like that brings back bad memories. Why did you do it man?"

"You wouldnt understand."

I looked over at him.

"I had to do this! I couldnt let what happened to Jean happen to Ali!"

I regreted those words as soon as I said them.

"Im sorry Scott, I didn't mean to bring up Jean."

"Its ok, trust me I would do the same thing if I was you."

Dr. Mctaggert shoots a cold look.

"Would you two quiet down, Charles need total silence."

 

[Apprentice]

Daredevil, Season Two - Part Two: Connections

Daredevil knelt beside the fallen villain, wearily applying pressure across his chest to check for injury. Nothing seemed to be badly affected, but his body was still racked with a dull ache and slight numbness from the electricity that had, for but a moment, completely enveloped him before propelling him back. The relief that had flooded him as his fist silenced Electro was beginning to subside, though, replaced by a cautious skepticism.

The way the brawl had ended...it was too quick, too clean. Electro had moaned in pain, his powers had shorted out. Could it all have been a ruse to draw the blind vigilante closer? He immediately ruled that possibility out - his radar sense made it clear that Electro was unconscious despite the fact that he hadn't been submitted to a close inspection. Not again... he mused silently. He said 'not again' before his powers fizzled out. This can't have been the first time something like this has happened.

One thing was definite - he couldn't just hand Electro over to the authorities. He needed to undergo a full examination; he could be imprisoned at a later date. Firstly, this power loss had to be explained. Daredevil didn't like mysteries, and, no matter how much some wanted to deny it, Electro was still human. He deserved the right to know what was happening to his own body, even if it was illegally modified. Gathering the fallen villain in his arms and positioning him over his shoulder, Daredevil secured his billy club in one hand and launched himself over the side of the rooftop.

* * *
​

Having blindfolded Electro and wrapped him tightly in insulating rubber sheets, Daredevil tentatively removed his mask and slumped back into his office chair. A braille stick-it note pinned to his desk informed him that his partner, Foggy, had left for the night and reminded him of a trial the next morning. Ah, yes, Miss Page. A smile touched his lips. Miss Page was a beauty...and she had expressed romantic interest in Matt Murdock, with a host of not-so-subtle hints.
​

If only I could afford a lovelife...damnit, Matt, focus!

Pushing the note aside, Matt began to rummage through the small pile of old newspapers on his desk, swiftly scanning the headlines with his gloved finger before tucking them into an open drawer. Masked Menace Strikes Again! No. The Ultimate Save! No. Reed Richards' New Discovery! Bingo. Slipping his mask back on, he rose from the chair and hauled the still-unconscious Electro to the window.

"Geronimo..."
​

* * *
​

Electro tucked under one arm and that hand handling the billy club that launched him through the stone labyrinth that was New York City, Daredevil allowed the newspaper to whip downwards to the streets, hammered along by the vicious night gales. He then depressed a sequence of numbers on the keypad of his cellphone and sighed as a female operator told him that he would have to leave a message; the occupants of the Baxter Building were busy at that moment.

"Mr Richards, this is Daredevil," he spoke into the reciever. "I have a little package for you here...I need your help in solving a little power-related mystery. I'm heading to the Baxter Building now, so I'll see you there."

*Please leave a message after the tone...*

Irritably, his voice laced with ire, Daredevil repeated his message, adding a sardonic remark: "And get a better answering machine, will you?"

IC: Xavier

X23 hacks and slashes towards me, but never comes close enough to even graze me, thanks to my mental shields.

Soon this bestial form realises it cannot get to me this way, and becomes still. It blazing eyes pierce me with their steady, unnerving gaze. It begins to pace around me, circling slowly.

This is not working, I am only caging myself, I need to turn this around. This is an astral plane, so I can conjure up objects by thinking about the. It is a little more complicated to conjure up things that are permanent or even affect the things around them, rather than just apparitions.

I concentrate my telepathic powers and slowly a barred wall forms, the bars are jagged and thorny. The beast is still busy pacing. I form a second wall, and then a third, till I have a small cage with one open side.

I stop and gather energy, then release it towards the beast, pushing it away from me and towards the open cage. With ragged claws it tears at the ground and fights, but my powers are strong. Struggling and slashing, I manage to push it into the cage, and form the fourth wall to lock it in.

Mentally I make the cage begin to shrink, adding a top and bottom. The beast roars and thrashes as slowly its prison gets smaller and smaller. As the cage begins to get too small to contain the beast, the animal contorts and folds into itself, a gross sight, but I continue, till it is pushed into itself in a tiny space, and it becomes a concentrated ball of fiery light, burning furiously at its cage, unable to free itself.

I add a few more security measures, locking it up tight. I pull out some of the more distressing memories and put blocks on them. They won't be lost completely, but won't be so vivid, just hazy recollections that shouldn't disturb her too much. The decapitation of a soldier is a particularly nasty one I put a tight block on.

As I feel Alison's mind start to smooth out I retract back into the physical world. I feel worn out and drowsy as I sit back in my wheelchair with a sigh.

Cyclops and Angel look at me expectantly.

"It's done, I can't say she'll be herself when she awakens, her mind needs time to heal itself and to reassert her real identity, but she should be...back, so to speak."

I wheel out from the medical bed to which Alison is strapped to.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to rest now. Warren, you are welcome to wait with her until she awakens."

I turn my chair and wheel towards the door, but just before I leave I comment a last piece of advice to Warren.

"I recommend you not untie her just yet, see what state she is in when she regains consciousness, for her own safety as much as ours."

Stealth was the best option for me right now. People were aware of me and what i was doing. I had to move down several blocks just to find an area that wasn't panicked.

A tentacle shot out and quickly grabbed someone. Before she could scream, she was in the alleyway, staring into a huge mouth.

As her life flashed before her eyes, she glanced up, and saw a figure. Her rescuer, her angel.

"Warren I could stay here with you if ya want, ya know just incase the worst happens."

I shake my head.

"No thanks, I got this. Trust me she'd hurt you alot worse than she could hurt me, I'll contact you guys if I need help."

"Alright Warren, I'll leave you alone."

"Scott."

He stops right before leaving the room.

"Please don't tell the others about the wings, trust me they're not permanent."

He nodes his head.

"You got it buddy."

I turn to Ali as the door of the Med Lab closes. I reach out and gently squeeze her hand like she always did with mine.

<Carnage>

Iv spent the last three hours searching the city and havent found Peter or the Goblin, as tired as I feel I have to keep looking. The Goblin used a 'Venom' suit and Peter is controlled by a 'Venom' suit and I feel its my responsibility to stop them. As I swung by an alley I get this strange buzzing at the back of my head, it was so strong that I forget to shoot another web tenticle and land on one of the rooftops overlooking the alley.

"Argh! My head!"

[blackout]FEEED!!![/blackout]

I look down and see who I guess is Peter, he has a women pinned against a wall. I turn into my Scarlet Spider form and jump down into the alley kicking him in the head in the process. He drops the girl as he stumbles backward, I turn and look over at her.

"Are you ok?"

"Yea."

"Ok get out of here, and don't look back!"

"Thanks! You saved my life!"

I turn back to the creature as the woman runs out of the alley.

"Alright Peter me and you are going to have a few words, and punches, and kicks, and maybe a wedgie or two but I draw the line at that!"

As i was about to feed on the woman to calm the suit, I felt a strong jolt on my head. I stumbled backwards about 3 feet, and i dropped the girl.

"Alright Peter me and you are going to have a few words, and punches, and kicks, and maybe a wedgie or two but I draw the line at that!"

Peter?

[blackout]I'm no Parker!![/blackout]

I shot out a tentacle, and he dodged it with relative ease. I recognized the movements.

[blackout]You're Parker!![/blackout]

"Oh so now we're gonna play this childish game? Well ya know what, im not going to lower myself to that. I......."

I stop in midsentence as the realization dawns on me.

"Oh my god! Eddie?!"

[blackout]Eddie is dead! Now there is only Venom![/blackout]

It dawned on me that this man who was attacking me was not Parker. I tried desperately to tell the suit this, but it had already made a connection that couldn't be broken.

[blackout]Now Parker dies!![/blackout]

IC: Dazzler

I feel a squeeze on my hand, familiar and comforting. My head feels heavy like I have a cold, but I am warm and comfortable. I can't seem to recall where I am or what has happened. There are a few hazy images, but in no particular order and with no time to go with them.

Slowly I open my eyes, and see Warren. He is Archangel though, which confuses me. I'm sure he wasn't like that anymore.

What if I am just out of the battle with Apocalypse. Yeah, that must be right, I'm in the med lab after all. Everything else...just a dream? How lon have I been out then?

These are questions for later, but right now all I want to do is kiss the guy I love. I smile and go to sit up, but I can't. With a puzzled expression I look down at my body; I'm strapped with thick leather straps to the bed, my arms and legs firmly pinned.

"Warren?"

"Warren?"

[ArchAngel]

I sit there holding Ali's hand and staring at the floor praying that for once in my life somthing would work for me and not against me. I really don't know how much time has passed, until a voice cut through the silence.

"Warren?"

I jerk my head and look at her, she had a look of total confusion on her face. I jump to my feet.

"Oh my god Ali! Is that you?"

I push against my restraints.

"Whats going on? Why am I tied down? How long have I been here? What happened to Apocalypse?"

I stare up at him, a confused and upset expression no my face.

I start dodge a couple of tenticles.

"Im not Peter! Can Peter do this?!"

I turn into my regular form.
