Hello everyone :) So this is a short story that focuses on the Black Cat and Spider-Man. It's basically a idea that came from the TV show, Spectacular Spider-man. This is only going to be a couple chapters. This story starts several days from the episode in season two when Spider-Man is testing out the safety of a prison cell for super villans. Only, the Green Goblin sabotages it and releases all the bad guys in the prison, including some super villains. Thankfully, the Black Cat was there trying to break out her father. She helped Spidey take down all the guys. Anyway, this is sort of a 'what if' type of story. Enjoy reading and review please :) I'm open to all kinds of critique.
Several bitter tears rolled down her stained cheeks. Her light green eyes squeezed shut, trying to block out the tears. Felicia Hardy does not cry. This is pathetic... Get a grip... The same words repeated over and over in her mind and slowly, the salty tears were gone. Her peachy pink lip was still quivering slightly, but at least she was able to control her tears... Either that, or she ran out of tears. A long, platinum strand of hair fell from behind her ear and hung annoyingly over her eyes, the ends of it dangling below her chin. With a huff, she harshly pushed the bit of hair back into place. Felicia's eyes looked down at her legs which were clad with a thin, dark blue leather. At night it looked black, but during the day, the hints of midnight blue would stand out. Slowly, her knees crept up to her chest. Her shaking arms wrapped around her calves. She had never felt so alone... So helpless before. A soft breeze picked up, toying with the white hair on her costume, along with the real hair on her head. The great city below stretched out for miles on end, making her seem so very small. Bright lights from the city lit up the sky, making most of the stars invisible. Her eyes scanned over the sidewalks that were overloaded with people, the traffic in the streets, despite how late into the night it was. She replayed what happened earlier that day, living in the few moments she had alone with her father before she was forced to leave him to his death sentence.
"Hi Daddy," A young, beautiful face poked out from the fresh whole in the ceiling. The older man took in the long silver hair that hung down in the air, still framing the girl's face perfectly, despite her being upside down. All he could do was stair into her unusual light green eyes and breathe in the sight of his beloved daughter.
"Felicia! What are you doing here?" He scolded lightly, but that could not hide the happiness his voice portrayed. His dull eyes lit up, oh how he missed her.
"I'm breaking you out of here." She replied nonchalantly. She fell through the circle in the ceiling, but just like a cat, she somehow gracefully landed on her feet.
"Felicia, honey, this is the worst possible time... Spider-Man is here, and-" The silver haired man was cut off.
"Spider-Man?" Her eyes widened slightly in surprise, a small smile made it's way on her bright red lips.
"Haha... Maybe torment was a poor choice of words... Can't we just talk out our problems or something?" Spider-Man's voice carried into the cell that Felicia was in.
"Mmmm..." A look of lust and want covered her face. Without hesitation, she walks out of the cell and seductively leans against the metal door. She took in the scene of Spider-Man wrapped up in ropes with a large man squeezing him and another about to make him a personal punching bag.
"Ohh boys..." She drawled out, "Is Spidey really the best dance partner available?" A hand shot out of the darkness behind her, she looked up into her father's face.
"Felicia Hardy, what are you thinking?" He whispered quietly so only she will hear.
"What can I say? I got a little crush.." She breathed out, turning her head slightly to make eye contact with the red and blue hero. Her father's mouth dropped open. Felicia is interested in that Spider guy? Great. The girl took advantage of her father's distraction and in a second she was out of his grasp and out in the open, ready to fight the men.
"Its... It's a chick." One of the guys said, standing up taller, swallowing quickly, he swayed a bit 'cause his head was getting dizzy from the sight of her.. Felicia of course was used to that sort of reaction in men. They all found her irresistible.
"Brilliant deduction sherlock," Spider-Man quipped, lifted his legs up and kicked the guy about to punch him in the chest, knocking him off his feet. The guy known as Silver Mane flew backwards, right into Felicia's arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and with a hard push, he was flung over her shoulders, landing on the ground with a hard thud, unconscious. Spider-Man quickly shot webbing up on the mustache of his captor, he yanked on the webs hard, making the large man growl in pain. He released the boy and placed his hands on his throbbing face. Spider-Man took advantage of this and landed a solid punch on the left side of the guys face, making him stagger to the ground from the mind-blowing impact.
Felicia kicked out at the dark skinned man, laid several harsh jabs on his face, and then with one last punch sent him flying into the metal bars of a prison cell. She looked over just in time to see a robot version of Mysterio lunge for her torso, she did a backflip and dodged the attack. She landed pressed up agains the back of another body... The lean, muscular frame of Spider-Man. She shifted back and rubbed her body slightly against him. She smirked when a muffled groan escaped his lips. Not being able to continue torturing Spider-Man with her body, she ran foreword and attacked the man who was coming for her. She swung her leg up and kicked the man's head, right after it Spider-Man shot out a web over his eyes, blocking his vision. He reached a arm out and grabbed the Black Cat's waist and pulled her into the same cell she came out of. Quickly, he reached out and attempted to close the door, but it fought against him. Finally, the door was sealed shut when he covered the whole thing, including the hinges, with his webbing. Creating a shield of protection from the criminals on the other side.
"Cat! You're a sight for sore eyes." Spidey says thankfully, not paying much attention to the other man in the cell who was hiding in the shadows.
"My curative powers aren't limited to the eyes," She says in a low voice, taking a small step towards him and placing a finger on his chest, tracing the black spider logo.
Spider-Man leans into the touch for a split second before he comes back to reality. He shifts away from her finger and chuckles, knowing what game she was playing. "D-don't start," the words stumble out, she instantly knows that he doesn't truly mean it. "What are you doing here?" He asks, trying to take her mind off of seducing him.
"Oh, you won't like it boy scout." Felicia steps towards the corner of the cell where her father is hiding. The man quickly tries to get her to realize that he cannot show his face around Spider-Man. "But I'm here to bust out my dad." She finishes. The silver haired man is pulled out of the shadows and all he wants to do is to drop dead. "Meet Walter Hardy. AKA, the Cat Burglar." She informed the primary colored boy. During the introduction, Walter's grey eyes stare at the ground in shame.
Spider-Man takes a step back in shock. "That face..." He whispers, not really intending to say it out loud. Suddenly memories flood through his brain of the Cat Burglar killing his uncle. In a blink of a second, his posture turns rigid and his eyes visible narrow and glare at the man before him.
Felicia is surprised with the Spidey's cold response. Soon the voice of the Rhino was heard, and quickly they all jumped into the whole in the ceiling. As they were crawling through the air vents of the prison, Spider-Man started speaking in a low, threatening voice.
"Just so you know, I will never let you bust this guy out of jail." He informs the Black Cat.
"Says the Spider desperate for the Kitty Cat's help." She joked lightly.
"Not that desperate. Never that desperate." Spider-Man growls.
"Jesus dad, what did you do to this guy?" Felicia asked, confused. She didn't even know Spider-Man could ever have a dark side. He just always seems like always happy kind of guy. It made her want him so much more.
It was later when they got out of the air vents and devised a plan on how to escape from the bad guys when Felicia learned why Spider-Man was so upset.
"As the Cat Burglar, I took pride in not harming anyone." Her father began to explain, "But as I got older, I got afraid... So I bought a gun. I never intended to end Ben Parker's life. It haunts me everyday. So I'll turn on the gas. I deserve to be in jail for what I did. I am truly sorry, Spider-Man." Walter Hardy stared at the boy in the mask, taking in the stiff posture, the glared eyes.
"You are not forgiven. I will never forgive you for what you have done." Spider-Man growled. Those words were etched in Walter Hardy's brain permanently, creating a whole new wave of sorrow that covered him.
Felicia let out a shaky sigh and the memory of what happened a few hours ago stopped. For a brief moment, the memory of her talking to Spider-Man over took her mind. She cried in front of the vigilante. She swore to never forgive the ex-hero. She stood up, trying to stay strong. What she needed was some closure. The way to get closure would to avenge her father's years of wasted life from rotting in that prison cell. Taking a step foreword, she found herself teetering on the edge of the highest building in New York. She took a deep breath, relaxing all her muscles and dove head first off the building. The bitter cold breeze whipped around her hair, lightning flashed in the distance. Soon, fat droplets of rain poured down. She ignored all of this and still maintained her perfect dive through the air. She opened her eyes against the wind and began to calculate the distance from the ground and where the nearest building was. With perfect timing, she released a cord that had a sharp spike on the end. It flawlessly sailed through the air and sunk into the concrete walls of the nearest building. Soon she was flying towards the building, landing against it with a thud. Her claws sprung out of her finger tips and sunk into the concrete, holding her to the side of the building. Felicia saw that the top of another lower building was within jumping distance. Pushing off the wall with inhuman strength, she leapt towards the roof of the low building. Gracefully, she landed on her two feet, perfectly balanced. She was now soaked through to the core with cold rain, the wind not backing down either. She forced herself to not shiver. Her eyes drifted down towards her body suit, a groan escaped her lips. It's going to take forever to peal this off me since I'm wet.
She left the small building and was traveling to her small apartment. She effortlessly leapt through the air, from roof top to roof top. Thanks to the super solider formula that was flowing through her veins. It wasn't the same formula that was given to Captain America, but a more refined one based off of a wild cat. It had a few side effects... Like how she had actual claws that came out of her finger tips. She had a stronger sense of smell, and pin point accuracy vision. Felicia now had inhuman strength and would of made a amazing super solider. Only soon as she had gained her powers and trained in them, she destroyed the formula and all the scientists who knew it. All the research data she wiped out. She did not want anyone else to receive her same formula. Some could call it a greedy thing to do, others could see it as a act of heroism. Felicia herself was still pondering over what her true antics behind it were.
Eventually the girl made it to her cheap apartment. She climbed through the window and plopped onto her couch, struggling to take off her body suit. Nearly a hour later, Felicia lay in her bed, in nothing but a long, loose t-shirt. Her hair was carefully placed into a loose pony tail. Her Black Cat costume was hanging up in her closet, staring out at her. Her mind was wondering through several ideas on how she could get back at Spider-Man. Her mind kept pulling blanks on her. She sighed and decided to get some rest. Maybe she could think up something tomorrow.
I was far to early in the morning for anyone to wake up, but Felicia sat bolt upright, beads of sweat collecting on her brow, her chest dramatically going up and down as she breathed heavily.
"I got it!" She whispered, the perfect plan on how to avenge Spider-Man. Her father mentioned that he killed a guy named Ben Parker... Spider-Man was clearly a emotional mess when the name was mentioned. "I am truly sorry for your loss." Her fathers words rung in her head. The man he killed must of been a close friend to Spidey... Possibly a relative! All she's going to need to do is find out everything she could possibly find out on this man. She needed to know who he knew... Any guy that could look around Spidey's age has a high probability of being him. She smirked, her green eyes glinted with curiosity. Watch out Spider-Man. The Cat has caught onto your trail, hide if you want... But I'll find you. I'm about to know more about you than you could of ever dreamed.
