Okay, sure I could've told Kurt over the weekend...but...he was busy. Running those Roleplay things is no easy task.

Plus, I was busy in the Infirmary with Jean Grey. A professor from Hogwarts, Professor Sprout, came over to Hero High with some magic plants or something to show the Demeter kids. It went well until some Hermes kids tried pranking them and well...let's just say Demeter had some level of control over all plants.

So, we were both busy. And I tried explaining this to Nico, but he didn't exactly want to here it.

"I don't care Will. Tell him or I will." He snapped at me during lunch.

That was a bad idea. Nico didn't have any people skills, so him telling my oldest and closest Hero High friend who happened to be Catholic that I was gay? Yeah, no. Not a good idea.

It wasn't like I didn't have a plan however. I knew how I was going to play this out. But I wasn't exactly sure if it was going to work or not.

May the Fates have mercy on me.

"Hey Kurt." I found him in the library that afternoon studying for our science quiz. Doctor Richards was teaching us about DNA, and he liked using big words to explain simple things.

Note to new students; bring a dictionary to his class.

"Hallo Will. How are you?" Taking a deep breath, going over the plan in my mind once again, I sat down across from him.

He'll understand Will. It's fine. I mean, he's a mutant who happens to look like a demon. He should know what it's like to be slightly different than everyone else...

I mean, unless he doesn't.

Shut up he will!!

"Fine, just reviewing some myths for Misako."

"Which ones?" Good, he playing along. Good start Will, good start.

"Ones on Apollo actually." I cleared my throat and continued one. "Did you uh, know that Um, he actually had a crush on a few men before?" Kurt blinked in surprised, tail flicking behind him.

"Really?" I nodded.

"Yeah, really. And um, my sister, you know Kayla? She has two fathers." Kurt didn't get the point, and I was sure I was confusing him even more than I needed too.

"So she was adopted? As was I, as I have told you before."

"No, I mean, our father Apollo fell in love with her mortal father and then... um..conceived her...so technically she had two fathers." Kurt frowned in some form of disgust. I didn't blame him honestly, Greek Mythology was a mess.

"But how? That's not how biology works."

"Yeah I just...don't question it."

"So why exactly are you telling me this? To prove that Greek Mythology is a mess?" Kurt if I wanted to prove that I would've just told you stories about Zeus.

"No, not exactly. I'm telling you this because...well...you know Nico Di'Angelo?"

"Dark, gloomy kid from the Reformatory? Really scary and doesn't like people?"

"Yeah him."

"Yes....why do you ask again?" I took a deep breath. Here goes nothing.

"Well, you see..." Kurt frowned, tilting his head to the side slightly.

"Will you are worrying me. Is everything okay mein freund?"

"I'm fine Kurt. I'm just gay and Nico is my boyfriend." Well that's one way to say it genius.

Bamf! Kurt was gone in a puff of smoke, and I groaned. Was I that much of a screw up, seriously?!

My doubts disappeared when Kurt reappeared a few moments later, with Nico actually.

"Him?!" Kurt exclaimed. Nico blinked, trying to figure out what he was doing in the library, while I nodded.

"Yep. Nico, meet Kurt. Kurt, meet my boyfriend Nico." I couldn't exactly read what was on Kurt face, because all emotion from his normally smiling face vanished.

"Oh. Well, good for you then." Bamf. And there he goes.

"That was Kurt?"

"Nico I've pointed him out at least five times now, how do you keep forgetting him?" Nico shrugged, sitting down next to me.

"Maybe because I don't really care. He took it well." No he didn't.

Have you ever tried cornering a teleporter? Over the next few days, I learned how hard it was to have a conversation with someone who could vanish in a puff of sulfur and brimstone whenever he wanted too. We have three classes together and even then he somehow made it hard. It didn't help he got Magik, Shadowcat, Rouge and a few others to cover for him.

"Back up pretty boy, Kurt don't want to see you!!" Rouge snapped. Rouge had gone from a shy little girl to someone you didn't want to mess with. Unfortunately she was in between me and my friend so I had too.

"Two minutes." I snapped, trying to move past them. But before I could do anything, the bell rang and Kurt teleported out. I cursed my luck, glaring at the X-men before me.

"Are you kidding me?! We're in a public classroom and you guys decide to play bodyguard now?! Do you even know why he's mad at me?"

"We don't have too. Kurt is our friend and we do as he asks." Kitty snapped back. I rolled my eyes, resisting the urge to curse them into speaking only Couplets for the rest of the week.

Great. I was never going to talk to him.

"You four are going to be late for class if you don't hurry up." Agent Romanova said, without looking up from her reports. I sighed and stormed out of the classroom. I knew what I was going to do during my study hall.

It was a support group. That's not the talking lion called it, but that's what it was. A support group. Something to keep us from doing something inbetween classes.

There was only three of us. Laura Kinney, a kid I didn't recognize, and me. Something told me that I knew why we were here however.

"Can I go?" The kid next to me ask.

"Connor, this group is--."

"For my own good, I know, I know. But I don't want to be here."

"And I don't have to be here. I got better things to do." Laura walked out, and the guy quickly followed behind her. The lion sighed before looking at me.

"And why are you still here?" I shrugged. Why was I still here? That Great Power talk? Who knew. I didn't, that's for sure.

"Don't know." With that, I stood up and walked out as well.

"Ben!!"

"Peter!!" The feeling of joy filled my body and smile quickly took a spot on my face.

"Well if it isn't the most beautiful girl--."

"End that sentence with "in this school" so Venus doesn't not focus her wrath upon you." I laughed, and we hugged.

"Fine. In this school, but we both know what I was going to say, and I stand by that."

"You, Peter Parker, are a flirt."

"I don't flirt I talk. It's not my fault everything I say happens to be smoother than the cream cheese on your bagel."

I shook the memory away. That wasn't me, it was him. And I was getting really sick and tired of having those flashbacks.

"Hey Reyna." I muttered, trying to keep the bitterness from my voice. She noticed, of course.

"Are you alright?"

"Fine."

"Don't lie to me." She warned. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay mother." I muttered. I didn't need Spider Sense to tell me saying that was a very bad idea.

She didn't kill me of course. No, just glared in my general direction and stormed off.

"Wait, hold up; she talks to you?!" I nodded.

"Yes Miles, she does."

"Why?" Ugh, where do these children come from? Don't they have like, a class to go to or something?

"I don't know Cassie, maybe because I look like her dead lover. Can you all just buzz off!!"

"Well can you put in a good word for Miles?" Kamala asked.

"No, now don't you have some Inhumans or whatever they're called to show around?" Kamala glared at me but did walk off, probably to find his majesty or something.

"Dude what is with you?" Miles asked.

"I don't know." I muttered, pushing past him. Care of Magical Creatures was next, and quite honestly I didn't care about that class. I used it as time to blank out and gather my thoughts.

That didn't exactly happen today through. I guess some guys from the Mutant and Inhuman class were having some form of malfunction, and kept starting fights. What was his name...Havok and Inferno? Anyway, they kept arguing (i.e loosing control of their powers/firing at each other) and scaring the Pegasi.

Thank God for Spider Senses.

So I ended up back in Tech Lab still in a bad mood.

Stark wasn't helping.

"Alright children, listen up, cause I've got important...stuff to tell you. A few days from now the Headmaster's and Headmistress's Institute for Gifted Children will be having an open house. Chance for your parnets....or for those of you with living parents and ones who haven't, you know, disowned you for being mutants, to come and see what the school is like. Meet the teachers. Fun times. Invite anyone you like, there will be a big dinner, music provided by the Apollo cabins at CHB and Camp Jupiter...so yeah. There's that." I snorted. Somehow I knew Stark didn't care about meeting our parents, and probably would just have FRIDAY do everything.

Would Aunt May come for....no, she wouldn't. Peter died here.

"So what does this candy do? Cause I tried those jelly beans of yours and they sucked...a lot."

"That's cause you ate the ear wax flavor Jackson. And as much as I'd hate to admit it, He did ask a very valid question." I..no, Peter said.

"It's hard to explain, just try one." Harry said, holding out the bag. Jackson, or Percy frowned.

"Is it like those chocolate frogs? Because I still have no idea where that sucker went and that was weeks ago."

"Just eat one." Aang walked up and grabbed one from the bag. A train whistle sounded from somewhere, and steam came out of his ears.

"Me next!!" Percy jumped up and grabbed out, popping it in his mouth. Dolphin sounds. Suitable for a Son of Poseidon.

I...no Peter grabbed one next. A lion's proud roar left our mouth and--

"Hey Spider-child!!" I glared at Stark.

"Don't call me that." Stark snorted.

"Oh now he pays attention, FRIDAY make a note of that please, thank you. Anyway I was just wondering if you were paying attention to my class, but please, if your fantasies about that hot girl in your Defense Against the Dark Arts class is better then please carry on." I clenched my fist tightly.

"It's not like you're actually teaching us anything. This class is a giant staple to your ego Stark."

"Yeah, learning how to hack a computer to learn where your kidnapped sister might be is terrible. Building an SOS signal is also terrible to learn, your right Reilly, how could I be so silly not to see it." I didn't realize how punchable of face Stark had until now.

Study Hall. This year the Study Hall "classroom" was moved to the library, under the direction of Ms. Belle, who according to rumors, was that Belle. You know, the 'Be our Guest' one.

"Excuse me, can I have a pass? I need to go up and see..." What was Kurt's class right now? "Um, Professor Hagrid. Just a few questions about the homework." I was never really good with lying. In some myths, Apollo was the God of truth, so that might be why. Neverless, Ms Belle wasn't hearing it.

"I don't think I'm allowed to...I believe he has a class right now." Crap.

"It'll just be real quick please." What a day to be a child of Aphordite. Piper or Drew could just Charmspeak their way out here.

Ms Belle looked at me carefully, crossing her arms.

"I will let you go, if you tell me what this is really about. I have a feeling it's not about the homework." I blame Agent Romanova for this.

"I need to, um, talk to a friend. We had a disagreement of sorts...and I need to make sure he's okay." She didn't hesitate to give me a pass after I had explained what happened. I raced down and out of the school, but not before stopping for my bow and arrows that were kept in my dorm room, along with some paper.

I wasn't the most skilled archer, not by a long shot. Agent Barton insisted I just needed practice but considering that if I didn't know better I would think he was a son of Apollo himself by his Archery skills, I politely told him that I'd stick to healing people.

Either way, I stuck my letter on the arrow and got ready to fire. Professor Hagrid normally held class in the forest near the lake, so hiding wasn't going to be the hard part. The hard part would be not getting seen by anyone but Kurt.

Alright Will. Breathe. Get into a stance and...relax.

Aim.....

Fire.

The arrow flew past several people's heads, and landed in a tree near Kurt. He jumped obviously, and Professor Hagrid happened to take notice.

"Alrigh' now what was that?" He asked. Kurt grabbed the arrow and hid it behind his back, faking a grin.

"Sorry Professor. My tail might have gotten stuck in the tree." His tail wasn't actually that sharp (don't ask how I know that) but it was good enough for Hagrid, allowing Kurt to read my letter.

He looked up and glared at my general direction, carefully making his way through the students and over to where I was, before teleporting us away from the class.

"Make it quick Will, I do not wish to get in trouble today." I sighed.

"You're mad aren't you?"

"Mad? Why would I be mad?" I groaned leaning against a tree. Kurt squatted next to me, as he often did, tail flicking behind him.

"Because I'm gay Kurt. I know the Catholic religion doesn't like gays but....I was just hoping..."

"That I would understand." He finished. I nodded, and he sighed.

"I am not....mad. There is nothing for me to be mad about. I merely do not...understand, but I do not think it is my place to understand."

"Then why were you avoiding me?"

"Because I was upset. We have been friends since the first year and you did not tell me until you started dating someone who is framed for murder."

"He didn't actually kill Bryce." Kurt rolled his eyes.

"You know what I mean Will. It took you this long to tell me...as if our friendship did not mean anything." Well for awhile I thought you were cute so there is that but whatever I guess.

"Kurt I was afraid you might shun me or cast me to Hell or whatever." Kurt chuckled, standing up.

"Oh I still do believe you will be going to Hell for such a sin. However you know what they say; Hasse die Sünde, den Sünder lieben." I blinked.

"Kurt my mother was American, I have no idea what you just said." He laughed harder.

"I said hate the sin, love the sinner. Where I may not agree with this, I still accept you as mien freund." A sack of weights was instantly taken off my shoulders. I still had my friend. Good. I had Nico now too. Better.

"Thanks Kurt. I appreciate it." He chuckled.

"Of course. Now may I get back to class?" I nodded, and he teleported off. Naturally I coughed because sulfur and brimstone smells disgusting. One downfall of being friends with Kurt.

"ARGGGHH!!!" I slammed my fist into the wall, glaring at Headmaster Iroh.

"You're not helping!!" I hissed. After Tech Lab I decided to storm back into the office and see if they knew why the hell I was angry so much and if the hell they could fix it.

The lion wasn't here so I was stuck with Iroh, who was no help at all.

"I cannot tell you why you are angry Mister Reilly. That is for you to discover, not me."

"Then at least give me a clue as to how to get rid of it!!" The old man  just sat there drinking his stupid tea like an idiot, not bothering to help me at all.

"I know Doctor Banner is quite good at managing his anger, but if you want a quicker solution perhaps Emma Frost may be able to help you. However this will not give you the permanent solution you are looking for." I didn't care. I was already out the door before he finished. Using the walls as a quick way to get there, I got to her classroom in no time.

"Frost!!" She looked at me, unsurprisied by my presence. Summers however wasn't.

"What are you doing here?" He asked, but I ignored him. I didn't care much for Alex, why pay attention to Scott.

"You're angry." She said simply.

"Fix it." I shot back, knowing that she knew why I was angry. She smiled.

"I do know why Ben. But I can't help you." My fist clenched tightly.

"Why. Not." I asked, gritting my teeth. Why could no one offered me help?! What was the stupid point of this school anyway?!

"If I take away your anger, it's not fixing the problem."

"Then tell me why."

"You already know why."

"If I knew why, I wouldn't be--!!" How the hell does she keep finding me? It's like a goddamn curse.

"Am I interrupting something?" I relaxed slightly, calming down a bit.

"Of course not Ms. Arellano. Did you need something?" Frost was smirking, and I wanted to punch her for it. Of course, punching someone with diamond skin was not a good idea of course, but whatever.

"Yes, I wished to speak with you privately about something." Reyna was looking at me the whole time she spoke. I didn't think her eyes left mine once....

She sees Peter not you stupid.

Of course.

"Frost I need too--." Frost nodded, taking Cyclops with her and dragging him out of the room, leaving just Reyna and I.

"Ben?" I walked over to her quickly, grabbing her shoulders.

"You're the problem." Bad move; something she proved by reaching up and smacking me.

"I beg your pardon?!" I glared at her.

"You're the problem. I should've listened to Coulson and avoided you at all costs. You're why I'm mad."

"I haven't done anything wrong to offend you!!" She snapped back, glaring daggers at me.

"You look for me because you think I'm Parker, you look at me as if I am, and you treat me as such!!"

"You have no idea how I felt about Peter, and don't you dare say his name!!"

"I know how you felt because I am him!!" Her eyes widened, and so did mine. "I mean....I mean that I was....I was him..." I stuttered, trying to make up for my mistake.

"You are his clone..." She whispered, trying to put everything together. I could see the wheels turning in her eyes.

"Yeah. For a few minutes after Miles freed me, I thought I was Peter Parker. Then when Miles told me I wasn't....I ran because I didn't understand. I was confused...I was Peter. I tried looking for anyone who could help me...I went to Manhattan, Long Island...I think I went to California too...I was found trying to board a plane to London...then I was told the whole story. Everything I knew was the life of someone else."

"You're blaming me because I was apart of that life." She said carefully, "You are blaming me because, with Peter's memories in your head..."

"Because of them, because of those memories and feelings, I love you. And I don't want too." We didn't say anything else after that. I don't think there was anything to say. What could we say?

I didn't love her, and I would never be the man she wants me to be.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Well that got deep very quickly.
