Ultimate Spider-man is owned by Marvel and Man of Action. I make no money off the unauthorized use of their characters.
I don't normally Fanboy over shipping much. A few times watching Korra but I'm a Mako/Korra guy and I knew they end up together.
I love White Tiger/Spider-Man but I know Peter's going to end up with Mary Jane by the sole virtue of he's Peter Parker and she's Mary Jane and that's how it is.
Then I saw the Episode with Kraven the Hunter and there were so many cute Spider/Tiger moments throughout. Not just like five degrees of emotional inflections but deep moments of friendship, understanding and even some playful affections.
Could it be the makers have felt the rumbling of Spider/Tiger fans and are giving us shippers a few moments to keep us coming back for more? Or am I wasting my time obsessing over people who aren't real.
So even if Spider-man and White Tiger aren't real I have to believe that you the person reading this must be real. Now if you are in fact real then odds are your at lest obsessed enough about non-real people to be reading fanfiction about them. If this is so then maybe there is some meaning in all this obsession and it all works out in the end, right?
Really what I'm trying to say is please review, thank you.
Cross My Path.

Spider-man swung threw the brightly lit New York night skyline. "Come on guys I need a sitrep asap."
Nova's bucket headed mug appeared on Spider-man's watch. "Do you think we have the time to going to run off and get you some Indian food. When the mission's over you can eat all the sitrep you want!"
If Spider-man didn't need both his arms for web-slinging he'd facepalm. "Nova sitrep means 'Situation Report' it's not a food item."
"Ohhh!?" Even with the bucket Nova still manged to look dumb. "I knew that. I was just testing you to see if you knew... -ahem- Power Man fell behind but me and Iron Fist are still on the thief's tail."
The image on Spider-man watch sifted to a GPS readout of the city and two blinking dots that were Sam and Danny.
White Tiger cut into the conversation. "Moving to intercept." She was closer to the target then Spider-man and would get there far sooner then him. Maybe it was the excitement of the chance and the night air mixing with the magic tiger talisman but the thought of showing up Peter made her blood run hot.
"Better hurry up or all you get is leftovers." Tiger mocked Spider as she leaped over several rooftops.
Peter couldn't help but smile under his mask. The oh so official White Tiger was coming out of her shell to banter with him. After their fight with Kraven the hunter Ava had started to open up to him more and more. She knew that the burdens she had to bare didn't mean she couldn't reach out to someone.
"Wake up from your catnap Tiger. No way your not going take down our tech thief before me."
"Come on Spider-man. We may be on the same team but we both know I'm way out of your league."
"Well aren't you feeling frisky tonight?"
Just then Coulson's face popped up on both Spider-man and White Tiger's commutators. "Stop using the SHIELD Comms Network to flirt and focus on the mission."
That shocked both the teens so much that Tiger blew a landing and Spider swung into one of J.J's billboards.
-Mid Town High-
Coulson was back at the school monitoring the team's progress. Nick Fury opened a privet comm line to Coulson. "You enjoyed that didn't you?"
Coulson smirked and took a sip of coffee from his 'Worlds Greatest Principal' mug.
"Yes, I did in fact."
It was a dark day in SHIELD when childish antics wore off onto it's most straitlaced agent. "Need I remind you that your team is chasing down a master thief who just robbed Stark Industries like it was a gas station. This is not the time for personal amusement!"
Coulson wasn't fazed in the slightest by Nick's fury. "Didn't you rub it in Iron Man's face when he asked for our help?"
(The Briefing)
Tony Stark sighed as Nick Fury practically danced around the table. "Come on Space Cowboy let me hear you say it again. Say it just like your 'I am Iron Man' speech."
"I need your help..." Tony said through grit teeth.
(end flashback)
"That has nothing to do with the mission." Nick answered curtly and then cut communications with Coulson.
-Back with Nova and Iron Fist-
The plan was working well so far.
The thief had made off with a portable hard dive filled with Stark Industries secrets. Even if there wasn't anything major like the Iron Man armors that data could be worth millions in the right hands or billions in damages to Stark if used for industrial sabotage.
Nova and Iron Fist were driving the thief toward a pincer ambush with Spider-man and White Tiger. The only unknown was just who it was that they were after. All that Iron Fist and Nova could see was a black silhouette running ahead of them and leaping from rooftop to rooftop with superhuman acrobatics.
Suddenly the silhouette stole a page from spider-man's book and shoot a cable into a near by skyscraper. The thief swung away putting themselves far a head of Iron Fist and Nova.
Nova poured on the power and took off after them. He had been holding back but now it was on.
The thief let go of the line halfway through their swing and kicked off the wall of the building. Not only was it an amazing work of gymnastics but it took Nova completely by surprise. While free falling the thief managed to kick Nova right in the face and knock him down to the rooftop of another building.
Iron Fist ran to where Nova and the thief landed. Nova was almost out cold but Iron Fist didn't see the thief anywhere. Then from the shadows behind a Daily Bugle billboard a woman's voice playfully called out to him.
"While it's true that some girls want to be chased you still have to put your all into it. Otherwise the girl might get the idea your not serious or that your trying to trick her."
The only thing Iron Fist could make out from the shadow speaking to him was a set of blue eyes. "I don't think there's anything wrong in tricking a thief."
Iron Fist charged into the shadows his iron fist smashing a wooden support beam like dry kindling. Then from out of nowhere five lines of pain flared across his back.
'Claws?' was all Danny thought as he moved to engage in opponent.
The thief was like ink in black water. She was never quite there when Iron Fist attacked but always ready with a counterattack. Danny smashed his way several more beams while the thief seemed to pour herself through the gaps and dance away. Then she'd draw in close and her claws would rake against Danny in short quick strikes.
Her left claw slashed against Iron Fist's chest before darting to slicing him across the face. The attacks were sallow however and did no major damage. It did leave him open for a brutal right kick that sent his head bouncing off a nearby beam.
This was not like Iron Fist and he knew something was wrong. Danny had trained in the dark and fought much stronger opponents. Something about her was keeping him from getting any momentum. It was almost like this just wasn't his lucky day.
A bright light filled the space as Nova swooped into the melee hoping to knock the thief out.
Naturally she dodged out of the way and Nova crashed into Iron Fist.
As the two teen heroes landed in a heap the thief just walked away. She stopped for a moment to knock out the end support beam of the billboard and send it crashing down on Nova and Iron Fist.
White Tiger saw the billboard fall a few rooftops away and quickly called Danny and Sam on her watch. "Iron Fist, Nova are you two all right?!"
For several long seconds nothing happened but then the pile of wreckage shifted. Iron Fist and Nova pulled themselves out of the mess.
"Ouch. Yeah nothing badly hurt but my pride." Nova replied.
Iron Fist was a little more grim. "Our thief knew we were pushing her into a trap. Be careful Tiger this thief isn't normal."
"What do you mean not normal? In our line of work we don't see a lot that's normal."
"She doesn't take a normal fighting stance but her movements are fluid, unorthodox and precise. In some ways it's almost like drunken boxing kung fu. Also I don't know how to say this but I think luck plays a part in her abilities."
White Tiger looked up form her watch. Her were eyes scanning the other rooftops for their thief. "I'll show her that training and skill beat luck every time."
"Spoken like a girl who's never been lucky." A chiding voice called from behind White Tiger.
Tiger turned around to see their thief walking along the building narrow railings. There framed in the city lights was a beautiful young woman. She wore a body hugging catsuit like Ava's but her's was black and low cut in the front to show off her ample cleavage. Her boots and clawed gloves were jet black but soft blue lines of light were layer throughout. A black ballroom mask covered her face and long platinum hair draped behind her. She looked every bit like a stray cat.
White Tiger took her fighting stance but the nature of her opponent unnerved a bit. Also she would bet there was at lest several million dollars worth of spy tech built into that black skin tight suit of her's. "Just who or what are you suppose to be?"
"Black Cat the legendary thief of luck and other precious items."
"Why don't you give up now and save yourself a trip to the vet?"
"Sorry kitten but I don't think you have what it takes to cage me." Cat said hopping off the railing then walking toward White Tiger.
"Kitten!" It was a childish jab but it did get Tiger's dander up and the claws came out, literally.
[White Tiger! vs Black Cat! MEOW!] (instead of Fight because their both cats)
Black Cat charged White Tiger and just like Danny's warning said, Cat didn't have fighting stance. She just looked so open and easy to hit but Tiger knew better. No matter how much Ava disliked this tasteless cat thief if she could go the distance with Iron Fist then she couldn't be underestimated.
White Tiger's powerful and dynamic kicks did nothing as the Black Cat slipped threw them. Cat's own soft and shallow claw swipes seemed to be everywhere and Tiger had to back off. The problem was that Cat seemed to want to keep this fight as up close and personal and never let Tiger put much space between them.
"Are we having fun yet Kitten?"
"The name is White Tiger not kitten."
"Tiger? If your a tiger then where are your stripes? If you ask me you look more like an albino chipmunk then a white tiger."
Of course Black Cat had to one of the 'witty' villeins who liked to talk. Tiger powered on through that nonsense and kept the pressure on her opponent. White Tiger's renewed fury took Black Cat off guard and she barely managed to dodged one of tiger's claws.
This time it was Cat who moved to put space between them and Tiger let her go. Black Cat used the top side of her hand to brush the fresh cut on her cheek. She smiled reviling a set of pointed cat like canine teeth. "Your trying to hard kitten."
"Don't even act like you know me."
"Oh come on we're like the sisterhood of the traveling cat suit. So let me give you some free advice, it's not enough to just show off your body without showing some skin. Most boys don't have any real imagination so you have to give them a little more to work with." Black Cat while gesturing to her own low cut and gravity defying black suit.
"What makes you think I want your lame fashion advice."
"I'm sorry it's just you seem to be in a catch 22. I bet your the over achiever of the team and you do it mostly so they don't think less of you as a woman. Noble yes but your ultimate goal isn't to be the strong powerful woman you are but just be one of the guys. Your like a tigress hiding her stripes and hoping to be confused for a kitten."
White Tiger had enough of this and moved to attack. This time she would be wary of whatever counters and feints Black Cat would have ready. Cat just stood there smiling but Tiger knew that was just one of her feints. This time nothing the cat burglar did would get Ava off her game.
"Until you let him see you as a woman he'll never love you." Black Cat said with sweet smile.
Ava couldn't help but think of Peter. Even with an enemy before her who need her complete attention Ava's heart and mind focused on Peter.
That was all the opening Black Cat needed.
Black Cat pounced. literally pounced like a house cat would with her claws outstretched landing on top of White Tiger. Claws tore into White Tiger as Black Cat pinned her down. Tiger tried to roll out or fight for leverage but Cat was just too adaptive and kept the upper hand.
The fight ended with White Tiger flat on her back with Black Cat's claws on her neck.
White Tiger had lost.
"Your lucky Kitten. The one thing I don't steal is lives but I can't have you following me. Now the problem is what to do with you? How about a makeover?"
Black Cat's index claw found the seam in White Tiger's mask and body suit and started cutting downward. White Tiger started to struggled as her costume was being ripped open.
"Easy now. If you struggle to much I may scar your pretty skin."
This wasn't just embarrassing, it was pure humiliation.
Black Cat smiled seeing White Tiger's rich almond colored skin. "I guess Latina Tiger just doesn't have the same ring to it. Then again like I should talk right?"
There came a sudden 'Thwip' sound and a pair of red spider webbed boots slammed into Black Cat, knocking her off White Tiger. Spider-man took Black Cat by surprise and the kick sent flying but she manged to twist around midair and land safely on her feet. Rather then being upset by this Black Cat seemed to get even more excited.
After all this was the one and only Spider-man she was getting to play with.
Spider-man however was more worried about his teammate. White Tiger was rolled up into a fetal position and he feared the worst.
"Tiger are you alright!?" Spider-man reached to help her.
"Don't Look!"
Spider-man stopped when he saw that White Tiger wasn't bleeding but her costume has been tore open from her neck down to her navel. She had to use both hands to hold the tattered remains of her costume closed just to keep some of her modestly.
"I don't want you to see me like this..."
Ava was crying.
Peter didn't need to see her eyes under her mask to hear the tears in her voice. Ava wasn't just humiliated she was mortified. To have her body laid so bare in front of Peter it just wasn't fair. Peter seeing Ava like this should have been her choice and his privileged but Black Cat had stolen that would be moment forever.
White Tiger looked up when a red and blue garment was held out in front of her. She raised her head and saw Spider-man shirtless with his head turned away from her and his shirt in his outstretched hand. Spider-man was now dressed only in his pants, web-shooting gloves and mask. Tiger couldn't help but notice those rock hard chiseled abs and strong muscular back of his.
"Sorry, it's not very clean and it kind of reeks." Spider-man said as White Tiger took his shirt.
Ava couldn't help but wonder how much of that gesture was calculation. Was his going shirtless a way to say that it wasn't that big deal that her costume was ruined? Was his turning away a sign of trust because when she asked him not look he wouldn't look so she needn't hide? Or was it just that Peter Parker was the kind of man who would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it?
White Tiger pulled Spider-man's sweaty shirt over her body. Ava's tiger enhanced senses made her feel Peter's scent like it was a physical force washing over her.
Oh how Ava loved Peter's scent.
While all that was going in Black Cat watched Spider-man like a cat watches a mouse. She also took note of his amazing physique. 'Marry Christmas Felicia Hardy.' Black Cat thought with a purr. She just couldn't wait to get her claws on him.
Black Cat just knew that Spider-man was going to so much fun.
-end-
I wanted to brake this up because Black Cat fighting Spider-man will be a very different fight then the one with White Tiger.
A few things about the Black Cat in this story, as far as her look gose think Black Cat from Edge of Time. (Google it if your not familiar with her hotness)
I don't know if any of you have play Bloody Roar 3 but I picture Black Cat fighting like that game's character Uriko. She's got like this crazy cat fist drunken boxing thing going on.
Also Black Cat's age is eighteen, not that I'll have a chance to work that fact into a conversation.
Now the problem for me becomes how do I end this. With a Spider/Tiger or Spider/Cat ending?
