00:00Peter Parker comes home late in the evening, tired and messy after another long day.
00:05He opens the door expecting the usual quiet dinner, but instead, the lights suddenly flash on and a loud cheer fills the room.
00:13Happy birthday, Peter, echoes from all around.
00:17His wife, MJ, and little Annie have organized a special birthday party just for him, inviting his old friends, neighbors, and even a few people from work.
00:25Peter stands frozen for a second, blinking at the sight of balloons, cake, and decorations everywhere.
00:32Annie runs toward him laughing, and Peter, filled with joy, bends down to scoop her up into a tight hug, spinning her around as she giggles uncontrollably.
00:42Peter laughs, still processing what's happening. He's genuinely surprised.
00:46Usually, in his Spider-Man life, surprises mean explosions, villains, or collapsing buildings, not warm family celebrations.
00:56He's used to reacting, not relaxing. But this time, it's different.
01:01You actually managed to surprise me, he says with a sheepish smile, scratching the back of his neck.
01:08MJ smirks, folding her arms.
01:10Oh, really? The great Spider-Man caught off guard?
01:14I'll mark this day on the calendar, she says sarcastically, making everyone laugh.
01:19Peter blushes a little, pretending to be offended, but it's clear he's enjoying every moment.
01:25Even Jonah is at the party, standing near the snacks table with a drink in his hand, loud as always.
01:31He can't resist taking a jab at Peter.
01:33Parker, don't party too hard, he shouts across the room.
01:36The news never sleeps, and neither should you.
01:40Everyone bursts into laughter again.
01:42Peter just grins awkwardly, muttering under his breath about how Jonah never takes a break.
01:47Some guests tell Jonah to go easy on him for once, and let the guy enjoy his birthday without turning it into a newsroom debate.
01:55Jonah rolls his eyes, but of course keeps talking, because that's Jonah.
01:59As the evening goes on, the place fills with laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses.
02:05People are chatting, sharing old stories, and taking photos.
02:11Peter stands quietly near the corner for a moment, watching everything.
02:15The lights, the laughter, MJ smiling as she talks to someone, and Annie showing her drawings to Aunt May.
02:22A warmth spreads through him, reminding him why he does what he does.
02:27He turns to MJ, still amazed, and asks,
02:31How did you even pull this off?
02:33Between your work and everything else?
02:36MJ smiles softly and replies,
02:38Family first.
02:40Peter can't help but smile back, realizing that for once, he doesn't need to swing off anywhere.
02:46Tonight, he's exactly where he belongs.
02:49MJ wishes Anna and May could have been there too.
02:52She keeps thinking how wonderful it would be to have everyone together again, the whole family in one place, laughing, talking, and eating like old times.
03:01She looks around the room, smiling at everyone, but deep inside she still feels that small empty space where their presence should be.
03:09Meanwhile, Annie, full of excitement and energy, runs around with her little friend near the dessert table, trying to decide which pie to try.
03:20The table is covered with pies, blueberry, apple, pumpkin, pecan, and even some strange ones she hasn't seen before, like rhubarb, banana cream, and key lime.
03:32She leans forward, squinting at the labels and scratching her head in confusion.
03:36Peter walks by with a plate of snacks when his eyes catch something unusual, a familiar face among the crowd.
03:44Sitting calmly near the back of the room in his wheelchair is Professor Xavier.
03:49His presence feels quiet yet powerful, and for a moment, Peter is stunned, wondering if he's imagining it.
03:57He excuses himself from the group and walks toward him slowly, unsure why the professor is here.
04:02Professor Xavier? Peter says, half surprised, half curious.
04:08Xavier looks up with a calm smile, his eyes holding that knowing look he always has.
04:14Good evening, Peter.
04:16Xavier greets in his composed tone, as if he had been expecting this all along.
04:21Peter blinks, still trying to process how the leader of the X-Men ended up at his birthday party.
04:26I didn't expect to see you here, he says awkwardly.
04:31Xavier smiles faintly and replies, I tend to appear where I'm needed.
04:35He gestures toward an empty seat beside him.
04:38I'd like you to visit my school tomorrow, Xavier continues, his voice low but firm.
04:44There's a proposal I believe you'll want to hear.
04:46Peter's face turns thoughtful, curious, yet cautious, as he nods slowly, sensing that something big is about to happen again, just when he thought life had finally calmed down.
05:00Annie's laughter echoes in the background while MJ talks to the guests, unaware that a new chapter is quietly happening right in their living room.
05:07The next day, Peter, MJ, and Annie swing their way to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.
05:15As they land near the front gate, Professor Xavier is already there, waiting outside with his calm smile.
05:21He welcomes all three of them warmly, introducing them to his beautiful school.
05:27Standing beside him are Wolverine and Jean.
05:30Xavier explains that Jean and Wolverine, who is also Jean's husband, are the co-directors of education at the school.
05:37He then introduces them to Wolverine and Jean's daughter, Kate, who everyone calls Shine.
05:43The moment Shine sees Spider-Man's family, she gets excited.
05:47She rushes toward Annie, and the two instantly click.
05:51It looks like Annie has found herself a new friend.
05:54Xavier then calls Jubilee and asks her to take Spider-Link, Annie, and Shine for a tour while he talks to the adults.
06:01Kate happily holds Annie's hand as they walk away with Jubilee, chatting and laughing.
06:05As they stroll through the school grounds, Annie notices how much the kids like her.
06:11Out of curiosity, she asks Jubilee if Kate's parents might ever let her babysit Shine sometime.
06:17Jubilee smiles and says,
06:19You'll probably spend a lot of time together if things work out.
06:24Annie tilts her head, confused by what she means.
06:28Jubilee explains that Professor X wants Annie's parents to send her to this school.
06:31Annie looks surprised and says she already has a school of her own.
06:36But when Jubilee calls Annie's school ordinary, Annie's mood changes instantly.
06:42She defends her friends, insisting they're not ordinary at all.
06:45They're extraordinary.
06:47Jubilee tries to explain gently, saying that ordinary people are often scared of kids with powers.
06:53She tells Annie that Professor Xavier has spent years trying to change people's minds.
06:57But so far, nothing's truly changed.
07:01This school is the best place for kids like you and Shine, she says.
07:06Annie gets angry, refusing to believe it.
07:09She insists she doesn't need a special school.
07:11Her frustration builds until suddenly, she collapses to the ground.
07:16Jubilee kneels beside her in shock, calling her name.
07:20Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Professor X sits with Peter and MJ, explaining his proposal.
07:26When MJ learns that he wants Annie to study here, she immediately says no.
07:31She doesn't want her daughter sent away to some private school for special kids.
07:36Peter asks her to at least hear the professor out.
07:39Xavier speaks calmly, saying his school could be a safe haven for a child like Annie,
07:44a place where she can grow and develop among others who share her unique abilities.
07:49MJ crosses her arms and says firmly that Annie isn't a mutant.
07:53She's a kid with superpowers.
07:55Logan, in his rough tone, replies, that's the definition of a mutant.
08:01He points out that Peter and MJ have been hiding Annie's powers,
08:05afraid of how the world might react if the truth ever got out.
08:09They'll see your sweet kid as a freak, he says bluntly.
08:13Jean, being a mother herself, steps forward gently.
08:16She tells MJ she understands how hard this is, but this school is the best and safest option
08:22for Annie until the world changes its perception of people like her.
08:27Peter nods, trying to make MJ understand that they're right.
08:31They need to protect their daughter.
08:33But MJ's anger bursts out.
08:37She says sending Annie here would lock her away from her friends, family, and grandparents.
08:42It's me who can give her a normal life, not you, she yells, standing up from the sofa.
08:49Then, without waiting for anyone's response, she storms out.
08:52Peter tries to stop her, but Xavier raises a hand and says softly,
08:57let her go, Peter.
08:58She just needs time to process this.
09:02Outside, Annie slowly gets back on her feet.
09:05She tells Jubilee she's okay now.
09:07It's just her spider sense acting weird sometimes.
09:10Curious, Jubilee asks what she means by weird.
09:14Annie explains that sometimes she sees visions, things that haven't happened yet.
09:18She hasn't told her parents because she's afraid they'll freak out.
09:22Jubilee tells her she should tell them.
09:24But before Annie can reply, a loud noise startles them.
09:28Beast suddenly drops down from a nearby tree,
09:31landing in front of them and scaring them half to death.
09:34Annie and Kate scream as Beast chuckles, apologizing for the scare.
09:39He asks Jubilee why Annie seems so distressed.
09:42But before anyone can answer, an energy blast hits Beast, knocking him back.
09:46Magneto and his team appear from the shadows.
09:50Beast quickly gets to his feet and steps in front of the kids, shielding them.
09:54Magneto apologizes to the children for what they're about to see.
09:58My war isn't with you, he says calmly.
10:01I'm trying to save children like you.
10:04One day, you'll understand.
10:07And thank me.
10:08Back inside the mansion, MJ stands by a window,
10:12looking out at the school grounds.
10:13She sees children laughing, playing, and learning freely.
10:19Cyclops walks up beside her.
10:21Remarkable kids, he says quietly.
10:25MJ, who has returned after cooling off, agrees.
10:28Cyclops introduces himself as Scott Summers,
10:31saying he teaches ethics in human-mutant relations.
10:35He tells MJ that this school really is the best place for her daughter.
10:38MJ looks at him carefully and asks if Professor X sent him to convince her.
10:42Scott shakes his head.
10:45I haven't been Charles' errand boy for a long time, he says.
10:49That surprises MJ, since everyone she's met here seems to treat Xavier like some kind of god.
10:56But Scott continues, saying he's human, like all of us.
11:00And his flaw is that he often overestimates his own good intentions.
11:04He brings up the time when Xavier and the Avengers dealt with the Superhuman Registration Act,
11:10a law that required all super-powered individuals to register publicly.
11:14MJ looks shocked.
11:16She's never heard of it.
11:17Scott explains that the reason most people don't know about it
11:20is because Xavier proposed an alternative to the government,
11:24a system of self-policing among the mutant and super-powered communities.
11:28That's why Xavier contacted Spider-Man's family,
11:32not just as a teacher seeking a student,
11:34but as a man ensuring that mutant kids stay safe under his supervision.
11:39Scott then adds quietly that Xavier's decision came with a heavy price.
11:43Back in the room, Peter is still with Charles Xavier, Wolverine, and Jing.
11:58Through the glass window, Charles notices MJ outside, talking with Cyclops.
12:04He sighs quietly, thinking he might have made a poor impression on her.
12:08Turning back to Peter, the professor suggests that he go home with his family
12:12and takes some time to think.
12:15No need to rush the decision, Charles says calmly.
12:19Gene agrees, nodding gently.
12:21Peter sits in silence for a moment, staring at the floor.
12:25He admits that he understands how the X-Men feel.
12:29I had a rough time in school myself, he says.
12:31If Annie ever feels the same way I did, then I...
12:35Before he can finish, Peter suddenly stiffens.
12:38His spider sense flares violently, and his eyes widen.
12:41His body jerks out of control, and before anyone can react,
12:46a powerful wave of psychic energy bursts through the room.
12:49Gene gasps, clutching her head.
12:52Cerebro, she whispers weakly before collapsing.
12:56Within seconds, everyone in the room,
12:58Gene, Wolverine, Xavier, falls unconscious one by one.
13:03Meanwhile, deep beneath the mansion,
13:05inside the heavily guarded vault that houses Cerebro,
13:08Magneto stands surrounded by glowing machinery.
13:11The massive device hums with telepathic energy,
13:14its circuits sparking like lightning.
13:17Cerebro, Charles Xavier's most powerful creation,
13:20was designed to enhance telepathic abilities,
13:23allowing its user to connect with every mutant mind on Earth.
13:27Now, Magneto stands in front of it,
13:29his cape rippling,
13:30his eyes fixed on the glowing sphere at its center.
13:33Beside him are Annie and Kate,
13:36both frightened and confused.
13:38Magneto turns toward them
13:39and speaks with a calm yet commanding tone.
13:42He explains that through Cerebro,
13:44Charles subtly influences the future of mutant kind,
13:48guiding those who represent the next step in evolution.
13:51Magneto's voice echoes through the chamber.
13:54He could have controlled minds outright, he says.
13:57He could have imposed his will on all of us through this device.
14:02But instead, he chose a slower, quieter method
14:05to shape the question that truly matters.
14:09Who will survive?
14:10Before Magneto can say more,
14:13Jubilee rushes into the room,
14:14shouting at him to stay away from the kids.
14:17Annie's face lights up with relief at the sight of her,
14:20but her relief fades quickly when Magneto smirks and says,
14:23she's my ally.
14:25Annie's eyes widen in shock.
14:28Magneto continues,
14:29through Jubilee, I gained access to Cerebro.
14:33And whoever controls Cerebro,
14:36controls the future.
14:38Back in Xavier's office,
14:39everyone remains unconscious.
14:42The door creaks open,
14:43and Miss Mistress steps in,
14:45whistling to herself as she surveys the room
14:47full of fallen heroes.
14:49She kneels beside Wolverine, grinning.
14:52But as she leans closer,
14:53she notices something strange.
14:55His mouth is covered with thick spider webbing.
14:58Before she can react,
15:00Wolverine's eyes snap open and his claws shoot out.
15:03He lunges at her with a snarl.
15:06Before Wolverine can go too far,
15:07Spider-Man grabs his arm.
15:10Easy, Logan,
15:11he says quickly.
15:12Let's keep the bloodshed to a minimum.
15:15I don't want to make a bad impression on potential students and parents,
15:18Wolverine growls,
15:19but lowers his claws.
15:21Seeing Miss Mistress here makes them both realize Magneto must be involved.
15:25Peter's heart tightens with worry.
15:27His family's out there.
15:28Wolverine nods and leads him toward the corridor,
15:32where they think the others might be.
15:34Outside, MJ and Cyclops are still talking,
15:37unaware of what's happening inside.
15:40They continue their conversation about Professor X's past decisions.
15:44MJ asks if Xavier's choice to align with the Avengers cost him the woman Cyclops loved.
15:50Scott's expression hardens.
15:52He explains that Jean didn't trust herself
15:54after experiencing the destructive temptation of absolute power.
15:57She feared the darkness within her was too dangerous and needed outside control.
16:03We fell apart, he admits quietly.
16:06Logan picked up the pieces.
16:08MJ looks down, feeling sorry for him.
16:11Before they can say more, a plume of smoke rises from the mansion.
16:16Cyclops and MJ exchange a look.
16:18Something's wrong.
16:19They rush toward the building,
16:21but before they can enter,
16:23a massive figure crashes through the door.
16:25It's the blob.
16:26He swings his arm like a wrecking ball,
16:29sending debris flying.
16:31MJ tries to fight back,
16:33but Blob grabs her leg mid-kick and throws her hard to the ground.
16:37Cyclops blasts him with a powerful optic beam,
16:40shouting for MJ to get clear.
16:42Down in Cerebro's chamber,
16:44Magneto activates the device.
16:46The room glows with intense light
16:48as he begins channeling Xavier's technology
16:50to reach the minds of every mutant on Earth.
16:53Jubilee stares in disbelief.
16:55But without a telepath,
16:57how can you do that?
16:58She asks.
17:00A cold, sharp voice answers from behind.
17:03He has one.
17:05It's Emma Frost.
17:06She steps out of the shadows,
17:08her eyes glowing pale blue.
17:11Emma Frost,
17:12the ruthless telepath
17:13and the new queen of the Hellfire Club,
17:16walks forward with a smirk.
17:18Jubilee stares in horror.
17:20She's not an ally.
17:21She's an enemy,
17:22she shouts.
17:24Magneto calmly replies,
17:25The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
17:29In war,
17:29as in politics,
17:31alliances are built on goals,
17:33not morals.
17:34Annie looks up at Jubilee and says firmly,
17:37These are bad guys.
17:39Why are you helping them?
17:41Jubilee hesitates,
17:42guilt flickering in her eyes.
17:44She tells Annie she's tired of waiting for things to get better.
17:47Professor Xavier promised change,
17:50but nothing changes.
17:51People still hate us.
17:53We're still hiding who we are.
17:54Magneto will fix that.
17:56And if people get hurt,
17:58maybe that's the price we have to pay.
18:00Annie steps back, terrified.
18:02Not just for herself,
18:04but for her parents and Kate's family.
18:06Meanwhile,
18:07Peter,
18:08Wolverine,
18:09Cyclops and MJ
18:10are all fighting Magneto's allies throughout the mansion,
18:13trying desperately to find each other
18:15and save the children.
18:17Annie looks at Jubilee and says softly,
18:19If you think you're grown up,
18:21then you're not.
18:23She tells her how when she was younger,
18:25she always wanted everything right away.
18:28Her parents told her to be patient,
18:30that some things take time.
18:32She used to hate waiting,
18:33but now she understands they were right.
18:37I'm glad I waited,
18:38Annie says.
18:39Now they help me and I help them.
18:41Maybe the professor is right too,
18:43and if he's not right,
18:45then we're all wrong.
18:47Before Jubilee can answer,
18:48Kate starts crying.
18:50Suddenly,
18:50her body begins to glow,
18:52her shine growing brighter and brighter.
18:55The light fills the entire room,
18:56blinding everyone.
18:58Magneto and Emma shield their eyes
19:00as the chamber shakes.
19:02When the light finally fades,
19:03Jubilee gasps and looks around.
19:06The room is silent.
19:08Both Kate and Annie have vanished.
19:11Magneto orders Jubilee to find Katie and Annie,
19:13and if necessary,
19:15in his cold, villainous tone,
19:17he tells her to kill them.
19:19Annie holds Katie tight
19:20and uses her webs
19:21to pull them both up to the roof.
19:23She promises Katie
19:25that she won't let anyone hurt her.
19:27Moving through the roof vents,
19:29Annie asks her to stay quiet
19:31as they sneak around.
19:32Meanwhile,
19:33Spider-Man and Wolverine
19:34are running through the halls
19:36toward the danger room,
19:37also known as Cerebro.
19:39Peter looks around surprised
19:41and jokes about how strange it is
19:43that a school for kids
19:44has a place called the danger room.
19:46Wolverine grumbles,
19:48telling him to stop whining
19:49and keep moving.
19:50They soon run into Jubilee.
19:53When Peter asks about Katie and Annie,
19:55Jubilee suddenly attacks them.
19:58Seeing her father under attack,
20:00Spider-Ling, Annie,
20:02jumps out of the vent in anger
20:03and goes after Jubilee,
20:05calling her a liar
20:06for hurting her friends.
20:07Wolverine rushes forward
20:09and scoops up Annie in his arms,
20:11stopping her before she gets hurt.
20:13Jubilee steps back,
20:14realizing what she's done,
20:16and apologizes to Logan.
20:18But Logan is furious.
20:20He tells her she turned her back
20:21on the people who gave her a home
20:23and trusted her.
20:24Jubilee says she has her reasons,
20:26but she's still sorry.
20:28She believes mutantkind
20:29can't go on like this anymore.
20:31They need change.
20:33Logan replies that change takes time,
20:36that it can't be forced overnight.
20:38And if you side with Magneto's brotherhood,
20:40you're not bringing change.
20:42You're starting a revolution.
20:44And the only thing that's for sure
20:46in a revolution, he says,
20:47is that people die.
20:49Jubilee lowers her head,
20:51full of regret.
20:52At that moment,
20:54Cyclops and MJ arrive,
20:55and Peter finally reunites
20:57with his family.
20:58But suddenly,
20:59every mutant around them
21:01clutches their head.
21:02The same psychic pain
21:03that knocked out
21:04Professor X and Gene earlier
21:05hits everyone again.
21:08The X-Men begin to collapse.
21:10Peter remembers that Wolverine
21:11was leading him to Cerebro before,
21:13and now he knows
21:14that's where they need to go.
21:16Annie helps her parents get there,
21:18and while they run,
21:19Peter admits to MJ
21:20that maybe she was right.
21:22Maybe this school
21:23isn't the best place
21:24for their daughter.
21:25But MJ surprises him.
21:27She says she's changed her mind.
21:29After seeing how the kids here
21:31protect each other,
21:32she believes this school
21:33is exactly where Annie belongs.
21:36When they reach Cerebro,
21:38Annie spots Magneto
21:39and Emma Frost
21:40working together.
21:41Emma tells Eric
21:42to handle the annoying spiders,
21:44since she can't control
21:46every mutant mind
21:47and fight Spider-Man
21:48at the same time.
21:50Magneto nods
21:51and launches his attack.
21:52Peter quickly tells MJ
21:53and Annie to get out of there
21:55while he deals with Frost.
21:56Annie refuses,
21:57insisting she can help,
21:59but Peter snaps.
22:01He tells her to listen
22:02to her father just once.
22:03He's tired of being ignored.
22:06As he turns,
22:07he suddenly realizes MJ is gone.
22:10Annie tries to tell him
22:11that her mom
22:12is already down there,
22:13fighting Magneto
22:14and Frost herself.
22:16MJ surprises them all
22:17by ambushing both villains.
22:19She's fearless and quick,
22:21reminding Peter once again
22:22just how amazing
22:23she really is.
22:24not long after the fight ends,
22:27Professor X regains consciousness
22:29and imprisons Magneto
22:30and his allies in the raft.
22:32Jean tells him
22:33to keep Jubilee separate.
22:35She doesn't belong with them.
22:37Cyclops predicts
22:38that the Professor
22:38won't keep her locked away
22:40for long, though.
22:41He knows she'll be back.
22:43Peter is surprised
22:44at how forgiving the X-Men are
22:46after everything Jubilee did.
22:47But Charles believes
22:49that no one
22:50is beyond forgiveness.
22:52He says there's darkness
22:53inside everyone,
22:54and that's exactly
22:55why this school exists,
22:57not just to teach powers,
22:59but to teach hope.
23:01Jean agrees,
23:02explaining that the Professor
23:03doesn't just build heroes,
23:05he helps them find light
23:06in their darkness.
23:08Wolverine grins
23:09and asks Annie
23:10if they'll see her
23:11at the school next year.
23:12But MJ and Peter
23:13still haven't decided.
23:15For now,
23:16they'll wait
23:16until things calm down
23:17before making that choice.
23:19Later that night
23:20in Central Park South,
23:22inside a luxurious
23:23Manhattan penthouse,
23:24Miss Allen,
23:25Norman Osborne's ex-wife,
23:27sits alone,
23:28watching footage
23:29on her tablet.
23:30It's a blurry video
23:31from the Regent's site,
23:33showing Annie
23:33fighting Mole Man.
23:35Behind her stands
23:36Miss January,
23:37arms folded,
23:38her tone full of concern.
23:40Little Norman
23:41seems particularly interested
23:42in that girl,
23:43she says quietly.
23:44And his interest
23:46in Spider-Man
23:46keeps growing.
23:49Miss Allen
23:49doesn't respond at first,
23:51lost in thought
23:51as she stares
23:52at Annie's face
23:53on the screen,
23:54her reflection merging
23:55with the image.
23:57Miss January
23:57breaks the silence again.
24:00You should interfere
24:01before it's too late.
24:03Miss Allen
24:03finally looks away.
24:05Her eyes shift
24:05to a photo frame
24:06on the side table,
24:08a picture of
24:08young Norman smiling,
24:10back when life
24:10was simple.
24:12She studies it
24:13for a long moment.
24:15Physically,
24:16he's just a child,
24:18she says softly,
24:19and my son.
24:21Her voice grows colder,
24:22but legally,
24:24he's an adult now,
24:25independent.
24:27The room falls silent
24:28except for the faint hum
24:29of city traffic outside.
24:31Then she turns
24:32toward a glass container
24:33sitting nearby.
24:35Inside it swirls
24:36a living, breathing,
24:37black substance,
24:38the symbiote.
24:40Her hand trembles
24:41slightly as she picks it up,
24:43watching the liquid twist
24:44like it's alive.
24:46If the world wants
24:47to come for him,
24:48she whispers,
24:49gripping the container tightly,
24:50then I'll defend
24:51my son at any cost.
24:53The symbiote pulses
24:55in response
24:55as if it can hear her.
24:57Tall and tiny
24:59stays with open
25:00to her.
25:00All of the way
25:02the air medio
25:02is the Ire pokos
