New guy?! [Raptor]

[spidey]

Spidey swung his web through the trees he enjoyed that a lot. For it was a bit more free than the city but still as fun. He was going to see his old buddies the X-men for he hadn't seen them in a while. That was the trouble for a super-life not only did you not get a normal social life but you didn't get a super-social life. Which he should be allowed to, people in work are friends outside work. Of course whatever wedding or happy event that happens in-costume it ends up with blood on the birthday cake or a bride teleporting into another diemension. "Ah memories." He said allowed then had to quickly manevour away from a tree.

He saw in the distance the X-mansion, their sanctuary. He admired the place somewhere for the rejects to go a heaven. Something that he in many ways envied that. He had to live through a life of mocking and torment. Spidey had got there closer now and was on the highrisen then landed after hitting into a tree. "Aww.." He then put his hand towards the front door.


*CLICK*

It was on and he pulled himself to it, landing but knocking perfetly. That was good, powers came with not only repsosibility but balanace as well. "Anyone home?"

[Cyclops]

(OOC: Sorry if I'm not supposed to be here, or if this post was for someone specific. I'll delete it if that is the case.)

::Cyclops walked into the foyer, coming down the stair slowly. He was wearing his dark glasses, but had his visor collapsed in his pocket. He wore a blue cardigan over his white button-down shirt and blue tie, along with brown slacks, having finished teaching for the day. His voice was calm and almost monotonous as he spoke.::

"Spider-man...It's a surprise. What brings you here today?"

::He stopped in front of the door, leaving just enough room for Spider-man to enter. There were people that Scott had known for years that he didn't trust. Spider-man couldn't hope to be an exception to Cyclops' watchful caution.::

[Raptor]

Nathan Andrews was walking out of the kitchen with a sandwich overloaded with meat. It had roast beef, ham, bacon and a couple of leftover, reheated pork chops. Well there was also the one slice of melted cheddar cheese and the couple of slices of tomato, but the sandwich was mostly meat. Needless to say it was pretty much gone by the time Nathan reached the front of the mansion.

He wasn't sure if he wanted to go outside or go back to his dorm. But then he smelled a new scent (at least to him). Curious, Nathan made his way to the front door. Where he saw Cyclops and.... THE SPIDER. The Symbiote almost took over his body at that point, and Nathan had to fight it down for a few seconds, but he managed to regain control.

That was pretty much the major disadvantage to being bonded to a Symbiote, he had to be pretty much constantly on his guard. And of course being vulnerable fire and sound tended to put a damper on some things.

Nathan decided to go over to them and see what was going on. He heard Scott question Spiderman, so he figured he wouldn't have to do that. "Good afternoon, Cyclops. And hello Spider man." He also wondered why Spider man was here but asking him after Scott would be redundant. "I'm known as Raptor." Nathan extended his hand for a handshake.

[spidey]

Spidey shook his hand eneasily there wasn't something right about him. "I'm known as, um, Spiderman." He answered to Raptor's short introduction nervously. He couldn't put his blasted finger on it but something didn't smell right about him. Or maybe that was something to do with that fact he hadn't showered in a while that would explain a lot. No, there was something awfully odd about him, Peter had to find out which meant brushing his buddy Cyclops away. "Yeah so I just thought I'd come here to see my old buddies the X-men."

It was distant but hopefully it threw him off key, suddenly he decided to be not so cruel to Scott and whispered in his ear. "Dude, could I just spend this time meeting Raptor?" He asked trying to be friendly as Cyclops left he gave him a pat on the back. Good now he could meet this guy properly for Spidey definitely wanted to. "So, Raptor what are you mutations exactly?" He was interested, for he seemed familiar. Dangerously familiar which was never good.

[Raptor]

Raptor watched Cyclops leave. This set him on edge a bit. If the Symbiote took over there would be no one to stop him from attacking Spiderman.
"Well my mutation is DNA assimilation. But it's largely dormant. When my mutation manifested I was examining an extremely well preserved raptor claw. Now I have the physical capabilities of a velociraptor as well as shapeshifting into one, and a transitional form..."

Nathan trailed off unsure whether he should mention the other creature his DNA has bonded to. Finally he decided to be honest. His clothes melted away, to be replaced with the black and green symbiote. "The other time my mutation activated was when I stepped on a Symbiote." He waited to see Spiderman's reaction.

[spidey]

That explained the mystery of why his spider-sense was off the scale around this guy plus why Spidey recognised someone on him. Peter wasn't sure what to say or do for he was split completely in two over this one side of him just wanted to attack him and ask no questions the other wanted to know every damn detail of a symbiote infused mutant. For he just had so many questions like how in the hell was he controlling that thing, the monster that once took him to the darkest place in his life. It was lucky thhat he stayed on the right side by the end at that.

Spidey wanted to ask all these questions but there was a time and place for everything and currently Peter was in the wrong place. Standing by the doorstep he simply stepped in and then shut the door himself but regretted this descsion for he had ben taught manners. His spider-sense was driving him crazy the headache was not like the others. It was a mixture of warning him about the danger but his normal rational thinking was making him insane. Unsure he eventually decided the best option was to shoot and ask a question for poor Raptor had been waiting a while. "So, how do you....control it?" Shaking he felt like just hurting him that thing nearly wrecked him life he hated it, perhaps more than he hated everything else.

[Raptor]

"Well I think it's my mutation. My theory is that I assimilated it's DNA, but not it's psyche. I mean it's still there but as a second personality." Well actually it was a third, he also had the mind of a raptor swirling around in his head.

And sometimes it tried to take control, most of the time he fought it back down, but sometimes it succeeded. Usually it was when he was experiencing intense pain and was too distracted to fight it back. "Of course I'm twice as vulnerable to fire and concentrated sonics. Since it's DNA is now part of mine." He usually didn't want to blurt out his weaknesses like that but it looked like Spiderman needed reassuring.

[spidey]

"Good because that thing dude can just go and control you." He was angry in a way that no one had informed him. Peter was surprised that no one had talked to him or even SHEILD asking him if he wanted to be some symbiote specialist. It was certainly a shock that he wasn't kept in the loop but it was probably because they liked keeping things secret. A twtich slightly came to his eye but it was nothing to see he just couldn't help it. That thing on this guy was a life wrecker alright but he didn't want to think that he was a different person not dear old Peter. He heard his stomach grumble a bit "hey do you have a chocolate bar handy I could really use it."

[Raptor]

Nathan shrugged. "Some times it tries to take control. I can usually fight it back down though. Pretty much the only time it get's through is when I'm in intense pain."

Then Spiderman asked for a chocolate bar. "Uh sure hold on for a second." Nathan ran into the kitchen and grabbed a candy bar then headed back.

"Here you go."
