“Yesterday, in Long Island, at around 3 pm, a very dangerous mutant criminal named Sabertooth stirred up chaos by attacking a local police station there.”

All of us were watching news at the television in the living room which was currently showing the yesterday incident which showed how us mutants managed to save a lot of people from the claws of Sabertooth.

“The police station at that time was filled with a mob of anti-mutant protesters who were there due to the presence of a recently discovered mutant who was detained at that police station.

Sabertooth had attacked the police station due to the presence of another mutant named Wolverine. Wolverine was supposed to be at the police station in order to rescue the young mutant when Sabertooth found him likely because he was there for the same reason.

Sabertooth and Wolverine are sworn enemies who are recorded to have fought each other whenever they encountered each other.

But what makes Sabertooth dangerous is extremely heinous personality. He had actually tried to kill all the protestors at the station right in front of Wolverine.

Fortunately, Wolverine was not alone. There was a group of mutants who were with him who stopped Sabertooth fortunately from killing anyone and finally subdued him.

We thank this group of mutants who stopped Sabertooth from committing such a cruel and heinous act.”

The news went on to show the highlights of our battle where we subdued Sabertooth. Specially, my last punch which knocked out Sabertooth was shown repeatedly.

“Wow! We are famous! Woohoo!” Kurt exclaimed. He was quite happy to receive such fame on the television. “Go, Go, Team X-Men!”

“I am glad that the mission was successful without anyone getting hurt. But still, we made quite a lot of noise this time.” Scott said to me, concerned about the coverage we were receiving because of the incident. 

“But there was nothing else we could do. First, that woman Mystique tried to recruit Bobby and then this Sabertooth suddenly appeared, threatening to kill everyone if Logan didn’t show up. We simply didn’t have any other choice but to fight.” Emma replied after hearing Scott’s words.

“Still, we don’t need to worry much. This incident actually worked in us mutants’ favour since Sabertooth is a known criminal. Besides, the government will also show the incident in our favour.” I said, reminding them that this incident, in the end, will only help in increasing the harmony between humans and mutants.

“Although we have not been able to identify the other mutants, this was actually the second time the cloaked mutant who used red lightning was seen.” The news started reporting what they knew about me.

“The first time he was actually seen was when he defeated the thief, Shocker who had hi-tech weapons.” The news channel went to show how I had knocked out Shocker in just a few moves and then disappeared after taking his gauntlets.

“Peter! It was actually you who defeated Shocker.” Emma asked surprised as she saw the news.

“Yeah, it was me.” I admitted readily.

“But you do not look like someone who does vigilante work.” Emma said what she had understood about me.

“Because my uncle Ben has always taught me that with great power comes great responsibility.” Everyone was stunned by my answer.

“Well, that’s a good ideology to live by.” Scott said after hearing my answer.

“Yeah!” Everyone agreed with Scott at this point.

Ring! Ring!

Suddenly, there was a call on my phone. I looked to see that it was from Aunt May.

“Hello, Aunt May.” I said as I picked up the phone.

“What is this I am seeing on the television, Peter?” Looks like she realised who the cloaked man in the news was.

“What were you even doing there, Peter?” Aunt May demanded.

“It was not supposed to happen like that, Aunt May. We were just supposed to go in and come out stealthily. Sabertooth destroyed the whole plan, however.” I explained to her what exactly happened.

“Just promise that you would try not to do something like that okay.” Aunt May asked seriously.

“I will try, Aunt May.” I said that I will try in a bid to convince her but given my powers, it was a sure deal that I would once again get involved in these matters. 

“Looks like our dragon actually fears someone.” Kitty said teasingly to me after seeing how much I feared Aunt May. All the while, everyone looked like they were trying to stop their laugh.

Ring! Ring!

There was once again a call. This one was from Gwen.

“You alright, Peter.” She asked immediately, worried about me.

“I am alright, Gwen.” I explained to her what happened exactly. After that, we talked for sometime before ending the call.

That was not the end of the calls, however. Harry’s call came next. “You were awesome, Peter!”

Then came the call of MJ. “Didn’t know you could fight like that, Tiger?”

Finally, after a talk with MJ, the series of calls ended.

“You are quite famous today, Peter.” Jean said teasingly.

“What can I say? They are all just worried about me.” I was actually glad that they called me.

Buzz! Buzz!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was actually surprising as very few people visited the X-Mansion.

“I will go see it.” Kitty said and went to answer the door.

“Trouble! Big Trouble!” Kitty suddenly came back screaming soon after. She looked a little shocked.

“What happened, Kitty?” Jean asked worriedly.

“There is a man in suit at the door along with a few armed individuals.” Kitty said surprising all of us.

What the hell were armed individuals doing at the door of the X-Mansion?

“We need to tell Professor immediately.” Scott was calm minded in this unique situation and told us what we should do.

“There is no need. I am already here.” We looked back to see Professor Xavier approaching us along with Mr. Logan and Ms. Ororo.

“Do you know anything about these armed individuals, Professor?” I asked.

“Yes. They are from SHIELD. They are here to pick up Sabertooth.” He explained the actual situation.

“Just Sabertooth?” I asked.

“Yes, just Sabertooth.” Professor replied in affirmative.

“What about Mystique?” I asked curiously.

“I have some other plans for her which I will tell you later. Now, all of you, go to your rooms. I need to deal with the SHIELD agents.” Professor Xavier ordered us after saying that he had other plans for Mystique.

****************************

This here is a reaction of Peter's and the other X-Men’s fight with Sabertooth by both the media as well as Peter's loved ones. And it looks like Professor has some special plans for Mystique.
