Johnny was still on the floor, staring starry eyed at his saviour. Her black suit perfectly contrasted with her platinum blonde hair which fell perfectly over her shoulders. The tightness of the suit showed off her fine figure and had Johnny grinning stupidly like a child at the sight of her.

Meanwhile, Peter had changed into his Spiderman outfit and had raced towards the scene of the damage, only to find that Shocker had fled. Then he saw Johnny lying on the floor, then he followed the Fantastic Four member's eye line and saw who we was looking at...

'F-F-Felicia?' he stuttered, still looking at the woman

'Please, not in front of the amateur honey,' she replied, looking down at Johnny. 'Don't want everyone knowing who I am'

Johnny now pulled himself up off the floor, realising how stupid he looked. 'That's a pretty name' he said, but not in his usual charismatic tone; it was more of a shy statement, accompanied with the expression of a lovestruck puppy. Peter just rolled his eyes, however Johnny had now realised who 'Felicia' had been calling an amateur...

'Hey! I'm no amateur! Don't you know who I am!' he snapped, now seeming less interested in her after having his reputation insulted.

'I'm afraid not, you see I only work with the best' she replied, calm and casual as she checked her fingernails and clearly amused that she'd got Johnny so riled. 'Anyway, I'll be seeing you around Pete' she said as she looked towards Spiderman. 'Don't go getting yourselves killed anytime soon' and with that she leapt up the wall that Johnny had been thrown into and disappeared out of sight.

Johnny looked at Pete. 'Who was that?' He snapped angrily.

'Felicia Hardly, a.k.a. Black Cat. We've worked together a couple of times' Pete answered simply

'Well I don't like her...at all!' Johnny retorted, still irritated that she had dismissed him so easily. Everywhere he went he was recognised as Johnny Storm, The Human Torch and member of the Fantastic Four. But she had simply disregarded him as an amateur, a nobody; she hadn't even known who he was...

'That's only cos she upset you!' Peter laughed 'Before she shot you down, you couldn't keep your eyes off her and you know it'

'Shut up Pete' Johnny mumbled

'Come on, I gotta go to work but you just let yourself in and rest up; Shocker hit you pretty hard'

Eight Hours Later

Peter turned the key in the door, hearing it open with a satisfied clink before entering the apartment and closing the door behind him. Johnny was sitting on the sofa, eating crisps and watching some action film on the TV

'Hey Johnny' Peter said as he moved between the rooms in the apartment to tidy his stuff away, and Johnny's too.

'Oh hi Pete' Johnny's reply was muffled by the amount of crisps he'd shoved into his mouth. 'How was work?'

'Not too bad' he replied, satisfied that everything was in order. 'Want anything to eat?'

But Johnny didn't hear him; he got bored with his film and had been flicking through the channels to find something else to watch. He had stopped at the news, where a familiar face was plastered over the screen

'...and it appears that New York isn't short on heroes, with the return of a heroine dubbed by the press as 'Black Cat'. Earlier today she stopped notorious villain Shocker, who had overpowered Fantastic Four member The Human Torch in the fight and-'

Johnny switched the TV off, his face a picture of anger

'What? He didn't overpower me, he got lucky! Seriously what is this girl's problem? She's got serious ego issues Pete I'm tellin ya'

Peter just looked at Johnny; was he seriously accusing someone else of having a massive ego?
