——————————————

As Peter was speaking, Wolverine shoots out of the hole in the floor, thrusting his sharp claws in Peter's direction.

"Logan no!" Professor X shouts.

Peter didn't need his spider senses to know what was coming his way. Wolverine isn't the most stealthy of individuals, so he heard every stomp, grunt, and growl the beastly man made as he came barreling toward Peter's back.

Without looking back, Peter sidestepped Logan's claws, which were aimed at his lower back.

"Logan, stop this instant!" Charles yells once again as Wolverine swipes his claws toward Peter.

"Grrr..." Logan growled angrily as Peter once again slipped away from his attack.

"You should really listen to Charles over there. You're setting a bad example for your people." Peter comments, but Wolverine wasn't listening.

Instead, a flurry of claw swipes launches Peter's way. Even though he couldn't land a single hit, Logan seemed to have entered a sort of beast mentality and just wouldn't give up.

"Okay, you brought this on yourself..." Peter mutters as he turns toward the group of X-men, who were torn between stopping Logan or attacking Magneto. "I'll only knock him out. Just give me a minute."

With that said, Peter went on the offensive. Ducking under a claw swipe, he juts his leg out, throwing Logan off balance. As his opponent tries to regain his footing, Peter stands back up and spartan kicks Wolverine into the wall on the other side of the room, embedding the man into the wall.

Not giving the raging Wolverine even a second to regain his bearings, Peter shoots a web, which sticks to the man's forehead. Just as Peter was about to pull him out of the wall, Logan swipes the web with his claws, cutting through it like a hot knife through butter.

"Hmm, webs seem to be useless unless your hands are bound somehow..." Peter thought out loud as Wolverine kicked off the wall and rushed in his direction.

"Get over here, punk!" Logan yells as Peter begins dodging his claw attacks yet again.

"Okay, This has gone on long enough..." Peter mutters as he sidesteps an attack and sends a powerful punch to Logan's solar plexus.

"Ugh!" Wolverine grunts in pain as he falls to a knee.

As he takes a knee and supports his aching stomach, kidneys, and liver, Peter swiftly lifts his leg, driving his knee into Logan's forehead. The hit could be heard all across the hall, as everyone flinched in pain from just the sound.

*Crack*

Wolverine instantly toppled over onto the floor, knocked out cold. His claws even retracted as his body hit the ground, no longer moving.

"Logan!" Nightcrawler appears beside the downed body in a puff of blue smoke, checking Logan's vitals and sighing in relief. "He's fine."

"Good, why don't you teleport him home." Peter says as he walks over to his chair next to the President, who was watching the whole scene, impressed by Spider-Mans performance.

He wasn't the only one either. Everyone in the meeting hall was looking at Peter with the same look as President Obama. They were all very impressed with how the situation was handled.

"Do as Spider-Man says. He's useless against Erik anyway." Charles said as Nightcrawler looked toward him, unsure of whether to listen to Peter or not.

"I'll return in just a moment." Kurt says as he lays a hand on Logan's shoulder and disappears in a puff of thin blue vapor-like smoke.

"Erik, you shouldn't have come." Charles looks toward Magneto, ready to fight at any moment.

"None of that, please." Peter speaks before fighting words could be said. "There will be no fighting here."

"Spider-Man, you don't understand." Charles turns toward Peter, but still keeps Magneto in view. "Erik is an extremist criminal."

"I'm neither of those labels." Magneto speaks up with a mock hurt look. "I happen to be an upstanding citizen. There's not a single blemish on my record. As for extremist... I prefer realist."

"A realist would have used the door." Peter cuts into the conversation. "An extremist breaks open his own entrance like the Kool-Aid man."

As Peter says this, a few people in the hall chuckle, while the X-men appear vindicated in their earlier statement.

As for Magneto, his smile disappeared as soon as Peter finished speaking. He didn't like being called an extremist, but he couldn't refute Peter's words. He did break through the wall after all.

"As for being a criminal,-" Peter speaks as he turns to the many UN representatives in the room. "- do any of your countries recognize this man as a criminal? What's his full name, Professor?"

"Erik Lehnsherr..." Charles replies instantly.

After a moment of silence, none of the country's representatives spoke up.

"Well, why don't you all make some calls and find out for sure. Until we have information, we'll treat Erik here as another representative for meta-humans." Peter says as he turns to Magneto. "That is why you came here, correct?"

"Yes." Erik nods as the smile returns to his face. "I can't let old Charles take the lead over me, can I?"

"It's not a competition, Erik." Charles admonishes his old friend. "I'm trying to set up a safe future for meta-humans. That's it. If you wanted the same thing, you wouldn't have broken into the building, scaring all of these people. People that we need to make a good impression on."

"He's right!" One of the representatives in the crowd speaks up. "Why are we treating this man like a guest? He broke into the building like a common criminal!"

The crowd of normal humans in the room couldn't help but nod at this statement, wondering why Spider-Man was doing this.

"Would you rather make the super-powered man our enemy or give him a chance to become an ally?" Peter speaks from his seat, gesturing toward the still floating Magneto. "I, for one, would rather make friends over enemies. He may have broken in, but that can be easily fixed."

"Spider-Man has a point." Obama speaks up for the first time in a while. "No one has been hurt after all. Let's not make enemies and speak like civilized people. The United States Treasury will cover the damage to the building as well."

Everyone seemed to calm down after Peter and the President's words. The Japanese Prime Minister looked very pleased with Obama's words as well. After all, this was his country's building that was damaged.

After hearing this and seeing which way the wind was blowing, Charles and the X-men bit their tongues, not knowing what to say at this point.

Blue mist filled the air once again as Nightcrawler returned without Logan this time, thankfully. He simply walked over to Charles, unsure of what was happening anymore.

"It seems we've come to a conclusion." Peter pulls up a seat next to him and looks back at the still floating Magneto. "Land and take a seat. You'll be allowed to speak after Charles."

Floating over to Peter and the President, Magneto takes the seat on the other side of Peter. As this was happening, the X-men didn't look pleased at all.

On the other hand, Erik was loving every moment of this.

"One moment, there's a breeze." Peter says as he walks over to the broken wall.

Using his webs as rope, Peter pulled the missing piece of the building back into place and glued the cracks with some quick web shots, closing off the meeting hall once again.

"That should hold until some repairmen can work their magic." Peter says as he walks back to his seat, looking at the out-of-place UN representatives. "You can all sit as well. The meeting isn't finished yet. No one has to worry. If a fight breaks out, I'll put a stop to it, I promise."

Breaking out of their shock, the many representatives fix their clothes and take a seat once again, putting back on their professional personas

"Please continue your presentation, Professor Xavier." President Obama says as everyone was back at their desks.

"Sigh..." Charles looks around the room in exasperation. "I would like to go on record saying you shouldn't allow Erik to speak. He's an extremist who would rather build up meta-humans into some sort of master race, than work together and coexist with the rest of the world."

"I..." Erik goes to speak, but Peter places a hand on his shoulder, stopping him.

"You'll have your time to speak after Charles." Peter says with a shake of his head.

Magneto shut his mouth, knowing he could make his point soon enough.

With the mic all to himself, Professor X went into a long presentation about his boarding school and how it would work. He also mentioned briefly about a team of trained meta-humans that would protect the world from any criminals of their kind.

As he said this, Charles and the rest of the X-men looked over at Magneto, making sure the people in the room understood who would be their main target.

The X-men's goal in coming here is to gain funding and the ability to recruit meta-humans from all around the world to this school.

As Charles finished up his presentation, the X-men left the stage and Magneto took their place. The smile on his face truly infuriated every member of the X-men.
