If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. - C. S. Lewis

Neon City - Fisk Household - Time: 12:44 PM

Felicia began to wake up slowly as she looked around, seeing she was strapped to a chair and began to try to escape.

"Ah, you're awake Mrs Hardy." A voice said as Felicia looked to see it was Gregory.

"Gregory! W-why are you doing this?!" Felicia asked in horror until she heard footsteps coming near.

"Well, it looks like the last member of the Hardy Family is awake." A voice said as Felicia looked to see Wilson Fisk; The Kingpin.

"W-Willson Fisk? What do you want with me?" Felicia asked as Kingpin crouched down to her and looked at her in the eyes.

"...I want you. You have something that interested me for the longest time." Kingpin said until he got up and looked away.

"I don't have anything that would interest you." Felicia said coldly, making Kingpin chuckled a bit.

"Oh you... just like your mother and father were." He said in which caught Felicia's attention.

"Y-you knew my parents?" Felicia asked as Kingpin smirked.

"I've known them even before you were born... however, telling you is for another time." Kingpin said as he walked away a bit. "But... if you want to know the answers, work with me, and you'll know the full truth... but.." He looked at Felicia now. "... to do that, are you willing to leave every part of your past life behind to work with me?" Felicia looked down in thought.

"Leave everything behind...? That would mean... I'd have to leave Ken behind..." She thought as she felt like crying a bit, knowing she'd have to leave the man she dearly loves behind, but kept it inside as she nodded. "...What is it that interests you?"

"You hold the Hardy bloodline, a bloodline in which has the blood of a cat burglar, much like your father and mother. I promised your parents that I would have my men watch over you in exchange for them working for me." Kingpin said as he smiled coldly. "If you wish to know more, then work with me."

"...Ok." Felicia said quietly as Kingpin nodded at Gregory, making him untie her.

"Now, before you get started, we should prepare you." Kingpin said while he looked at Gregory. "Is it ready?"

"Yes, it is Mr Fisk." Gregory said as he leaded them to a large white room containing a large capsule and a control room.

"What is this thing?" Felicia asked.

"It will help you prepare for what's ahead." Kingpin said as Gregory nodded and walked away. "You might as well undress to get the full effects of what it will do." They left Felicia alone in the room, looking at the capsule and looked around for a bit until she sighed deeply.

Felicia began to take off all of her clothing, leaving her completely naked, and walked into the capsule, with it closing behind her as a purple mist began to consume her and fill up the capsule. She began to feel her body starting to change, with her now blonde hair now turning snow white and her muscles getting stronger a bit while Gregory and Kingpin watched the entire thing until the process was over and Felicia walking out of the capsule.

"Look at her... like a true Hardy..." Kingpin said as he and Gregory walked out and looked at Felicia. "So... how do you feel?" She stared at him with her still purple eyes.

"..Stronger." She said as Kingpin nodded.

"Good... your first objective is to obtain the alien life form that came from the metal meteorite, Promethium X. However, you are not alone in this... I have somebody who will help greatly with stalling the man known as Spider-Man." Kingpin said as he walked to a phone while Gregory gave Felicia black skin tight items.

"Take this... you'll need it for all the equipment it contains." Gregory said as he turned around, giving Felicia privacy as she dressed up while Kingpin started to talk on the phone.

"Mr... Nikolai Venzer, correct? Or do you prefer to be called Rhino?" Kingpin asked.

"I don't care. As long as I get to squish that spider for being in this. I deserve to have that time of doing it for all he did to ruin my life career." Rhino said as Kingpin nodded.

"And you will, tonight. I need you to distract the spider and police long enough so... somebody I know gets the alien ooze from today. You'll meet her near in the middle of town in the night." He said as Rhino smirked.

"Finally, I get to destroy him!" Rhino said happily as Kingpin ended the call, with him seeing Felicia now in her new outfit, for she was was now wearing a black tight skin suit with her stomach being revealed and half her chest along with white lining on where the elbows are as it went down to her wrists, a grey belt that held pocket held equipment, black boots, white fur on her forearms and around her neck and with a black eye mask.

"I see you're prepared. Your partner will meet you in the middle of Neon City at night." Kingpin said as he walked to Felicia. "So... do you have a name you wish to go by?" She thought for a bit until she began to walk away, but stopped as she looked at him.

"...Call me... The Black Cat." Black Cat(Felicia) said as she walked away.

Meanwhile

Neon City - Downtown - Time: 9:03 PM

A thug suddenly hit the wall and was then webbed to it, stopping him in his tracks by Spider-Man while he helped up a kid.

"You alright kid?" Spider-Man asked as the kid nodded.

"Yes! Thank you Mr Spider-Man!" He said as Spider-Man patted the kids shoulder as he swung off.

"Man, it is great to be a super hero!" Spider-Man yelled as he zipped toward his apartment, which had his mom living there and his best friend Micheal, and entered through the window of his room and dressed back into his normal clothes to hide his suit, and entered the living room, seeing April, Micheal and Elise. "Hey guys!"

"Hey Kenny!" Elise said happily as the couple hugged each other. "I missed you."

"I missed you more." Ken said as Micheal chuckled.

"Man, not even a week of summer passed and you're already busy." He said as Ken shrugged.

"Hey, when the city loves you, you just can't help it!" He said as April smiled.

"You've been doing an amazing job son, you did so much to change the city, and now look." She said as she looked outside, seeing the city is peaceful, more than it was seven months ago.

"Yeah, it's crazy isn't it?" Ken asked as he sat down. "I guess one person CAN make a difference."

"Yeah, both good and evil. But it's the good ones that TRULY make a difference." Elise said as she sat down next to Ken while they snuggled a bit.

"Yeah... aside from my life being frustrating sometimes... I LOVE it!." Ken said as Micheal sat on the edge.

"Considering we're all here, let's see what's on." Micheal said as he turned the channels until he passed the news, which made Ken react quickly.

"Micheal, turn back to the news!" He said as Micheal did so and began to watch it.

"Reports are coming in that a giant man wearing a metal rhinoceros costume is attacking the streets of Neon City! Police and Captain John Jordan is sending out all the help they can to put a stop to the man-" Jennifer Logan said as Ken got up while Elise and the others looked

"First lightning shooting thugs and now punks wearing a Rhino outfit? What is this world coming to?" He asked as he looked at them. "Looks like SOMEBODY is going back to the zoo where he belongs!"

"Be careful hon, you don't know on how strong that man is." April said in concern as Ken nodded.

"Don't worry, I defeated Lucas, this won't be much different, like you said." Ken said as Elise quickly kissed Ken.

"Go get him... Hero." She said as Ken nodded as he quickly took off his clothes, revealing his Spider-Man suit along with putting on his equipment, and swung off to stop the attack.
