Chapter 6 – Honor among thieves
On May 19th 2016, a group of thieves is now stealing any items that can a big value to the Black Market and among them is Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat.
Felicia Hardy was formally a high school drop out and she was reported to be expelled after she was caught for stealing and giving exam answered since it was her senior year.
"That's beautiful gem" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "Come on kitty cat, when we're done with this robbery then we can split the cash" says Robbers Leader. "Yeah right" Felicia Hardy/Black Cat muttered. "When it's done, shoot her" Robbers Leader whispered.
The robbery is taking place in the museum at London, the robbers did tamper with the security camera and some of them are even dressed in security guard uniform. Felicia is not like any other idiot girl, Felicia knows that she is going to be double crossed by these idiots and these idiots are going to get themselves outcheated by Felicia.
The possession that they need is a Chituari Power Source that power the Leviathan, it was supposed to be kept safe until transported to an undisclosed location probably to S.H.I.E.L.D. Felicia did try to reboot the security footage and alarm with just a touch of a button, Felicia use it when she has the possession of the power source and then make her escape out of the museum before Scotland Yard could get there.
However, the robbers didn't know that there is one person who is now secretly arriving to see the Power Source and it is none other than Nicholas J. Fury or Nick Fury the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Here it is guys" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "That's pretty" says Welsh Thief. "Okay, I'm going to get it out first since I have the tools for it" says Felicia Hardy.
There is tons of locks that protect the power source, but there is no lock too hard for Felicia to crack and no safe deposit that she can't unlock.
Nick Fury secretly follow them disguising a janitor, Nick Fury knows that his attempt could get himself killed or possibly jailed since S.H.I.E.L.D is no longer exist.
The locks on the safe was unlock, Felicia quickly put the power source into her bag and then hit the button to trigger the alarm.
"What the...you sneaky little bastard" says Irish Thief. "Come back here, coward" says Welsh Thief. "That's my cue" Nick Fury whispered.
Nick Fury quickly exit the building and follow the thief, Nick Fury was only armed with a M1911 Colt .45 or American Classic and Nick Fury follow Felicia right towards the Thames River since there is a boat plane arriving to get her out of the country.
"Freeze right there" says Nick Fury. "Well, if it isn't patchy" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "Ma'am, you're illegally stealing an alien power source that can nuke a nation" says Nick Fury. "Sorry Fury, there is no more S.H.I.E.L.D to stop a petty thief like me" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "Spider-Man and his team will if you trespassed in his turf" says Nick Fury.
"Yes, I've heard of him that his team single-handedly took down a HYDRA arms dealer and defeat the Black Widow, Captain America and Scarlet Witch" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "You be surprise because they're not holding back" says Nick Fury.
Suddenly, Fury heard sirens and Felicia quickly board the plane but Fury couldn't chase Felicia since Fury is supposed to be dead.
Fury decides to let her go but not until he quickly planted a tracker on the plane, Fury then disappeared before the Scotland Yard could arrive at his location.
"Sir, what happen?" Maria Hill asked. "A thief got away with an alien power source, I've already put a tracker on the plane" says Nick Fury. "Should we alert the Avengers?" Maria Hill asked. "No, they're too busy in Korea right now but I think we're going to need help from another team of heroes" says Nick Fury.
"You mean the Web Warriors sir?" Maria Hill asked. "Yes Hill, is there anyway of contacting them?" Nick Fury asked. "No sir, all I know is that they normally jump off rooftop and watch the city from the rooftop" says Maria Hill. "Good enough for me" says Nick Fury.
Meanwhile in New York City, the Web Warriors have now gotten enough training in the streets and in school because all of them took martial arts class. The Web Warriors did manage to defeat the Black Widow since no one has ever thought on defeating a Russian Assassin, the Black Widow was surprise to be defeated by an ill-trained vigilantes and Black Widow is trying to locate them but failed.
The only clue that the Black Widow and Avengers got is that the Web Warriors Height also they're from Queens, New York City. It was another weekend; the Web Warriors are now finishing up their patrol until they receive a visit from none other than the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D himself.
"Hello there, web head" says Nick Fury. "Hello there, Fury" says William Braddock/Spider-UK. "You're a big mouth and cocky one, Braddock" says Nick Fury. "I take it the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D have connected the dots" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Yes Peter, I did but I'm no longer the director of anyone" says Nick Fury. "So, what can we do for you?" Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen asked. "There is a woman thief who stole something that I wanted back, I'm sure you guys already watch the news" says Nick Fury. "Yeah, Felicia Hardy stole an alien Power Source" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Wait, you know her?" Nick Fury asked. "She's used to be a senior, but her senior year ended when she was caught stealing exam papers answered and then selling it" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "I imagine she didn't get arrested then go to jailed" says Nick Fury. "No, Principle Morita believe that expelling her is enough for her" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Some of our classmate try to vote her to go jailed, but we didn't get that far" says Miles Morales/Kid Arachnid. "Well, she's on her way back to New York City and I'm not sure why" says Nick Fury.
"What's in it for us, Fury?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man boldly asked. "Well, you help me get the power source back then I'll persuade the underground S.H.I.E.L.D or Government not to come after you" Nick Fury explained. "Fine, but we will handle this on our own terms and no killing" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Alright, Peter" says Nick Fury.
Fury give them the location where she is right now, the Web Warriors will help him if Fury agree not to expose them to underground S.H.I.E.L.D or the Government. The Web Warriors will do it first thing in the morning, the Web Warriors return to their homes to get some sleep or finishing their homework.
On the next day, Peter got up to have breakfast and his aunt realize that Peter has finally let go of his grief of his uncle.
"I haven't seen you happy since Ben die" says May Parker. "Like you said, it's time to move on and let go of the past" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "So, did you and your friends finish the project for presenting in Stark's Expo during the first week of Summer?" May Parker asked. "We did, but I'm worried that we're going to compete against multinational players" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"You just need to believe in yourself and your team, that's all kiddo" says May Parker. "Thanks May" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "By the way, I read the news saying that Felicia Hardy is coming back to New York City" says May Parker. "Yeah, I've read the news too but I don't think she's going back to Midtown High School not after her fiasco and I just still don't understand why she did it" says Peter Parker. "Peter, you were a sophomore during that time and you didn't know anything" says May Parker.
"I just wished I could show Felicia that there is more to life than just stealing" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Peter, everyone has their own choice and it takes time" says May Parker.
After that, Peter head out to accompany his aunt as she got her own thing to do and Peter's aunt was relief that he has friends to support him also not worrying too much.
Peter and his team is now anxious since they have experience, the Web Warriors are no longer ill-trained vigilante and now they're ready to take down anyone.
"So, how exactly are we going to stop Felicia this time?" Miles Morales/Kid Arachnid asked. "Well, I've already alert my dad about it and I did overhear my dad saying that she's planning a solo heist in this city" says Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen.
"Felicia is heading for a jewelry exhibit, it's happening tonight" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "How did you know that?" Cindy Moon/Silk asked. "My aunt is attending it, I'm not sure about it" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "We have to stop her" says Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen.
"Where is the jewelry exhibit is being held?" Anya Corazon/Spider-Girl asked. "Empire State Building, we need to know if there is anything valuable before we do this" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
Suddenly, the Web Warriors receive an unexpected visit from Felicia herself and some of Peter's team is not happy to see her.
"Hey boys and girls" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "Hey Felicia, it's been awhile since we last saw you" says Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen. "What is my friends up to this?" Felicia Hardy/Black Cat asked. "None of it concern you" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Peter, my favorite freshmen and sophomore" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat.
"What do you want Felicia?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "Just stopping by to see you guys, I'm sorry to hear what happen to your uncle" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "Why do you even care anyway?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "I don't, but I did hear you guys made a name for yourself as the Web Warriors" says Felicia Hardy.
Everyone is ready to kick Felicia's ass, but Peter is keeping his cool and let it sink it into it.
"Of course you knew that, it wasn't too hard for you to connect the dots" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "That's why I like about you, you're not that smart but I respect you and I think your uncles death change you" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat.
"Felicia, I swear to god and my team will stop you" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Well, see you around web head" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat.
Felicia left the group, but Peter did tempt her and Peter won't back down like he did during his freshmen year.
"Guys, we need to stop her" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "What about your aunt?" Miles Morales/Kid Arachnid asked. "I'll tell her that I come with her as a company, but I need to you guys to be there" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "We'll be there for you" says Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen.
After that, Peter immediately inform Fury about the exhibit even Peter doesn't trust him and this is a good opportunity for Fury gain Peter's trust.
That night, Peter got ready and his aunt don't why that Peter was concern about her safety plus it was good enough excuse.
"You know Pete, you don't have to come with me and I know that this is not your usual liking" says May Parker. "I'm just worried about you May, Felicia is going to be here and steal the jewels" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Peter, it's good for you to care and I don't think it's necessary but I appreciate you coming with me" says May Parker. "I just wanted you to be safe, that's all" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
After that, Peter and his team is now presence but half of them is now with Peter in the exhibit museum.
[Talking on the coms] "Hey mate, no sign of Felicia yet" says William Braddock/Spider-UK. "No, I spotted Nick Fury with the Black Widow and Hawkeye" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Hmm, I'm guessing they have another excuse to be here since I know I kick their butt into next Tuesday" says Anya Corazon/Spider-Girl.
"Anya, be civilized please" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Spanish. "I'm sorry, my friend" says Anya Corazon/Spider-Girl.
Meanwhile, Natasha Romanoff is at one point satisfy but on the point she wasn't because Natasha was given a humiliated defeated by a masked vigilante for the first time.
"Fury, is there a reason we have to team up with— "Not fully trained masked vigilante who turn out to be teenagers" says Nick Fury. "That's not what…wait a minute, did you say teenagers?" Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow asked. "Yes Natasha, you got your ass kicked by a bunch of teenagers and I don't need to be a S.H.I.E.L.D Director to figure it out" says Nick Fury.
"Are you kidding me?" Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow asked in disbelieved. "Let it go Nat, it's not worth it to get a rematch" says Clint Barton/Hawkeye. "Thanks for vote of confidence, partner" says Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. "Anytime, you better pray that they didn't post that humiliation on social media" says Clint Barton/Hawkeye. "Yeah, that's the least of my worries" says Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.
Natasha and Clint still can't tell whether or not if the Web Warriors is already informed, the Avengers are having a hard time figuring out the identity of the Web Warriors because of the masked that they wear.
"Look alive boys and girls, Felicia just arrive" says Cindy Moon/Silk. "Yeah, I see her" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Hey, isn't that Liz Toomes dress that she told before she was expelled?" William Braddock/Spider-UK. "Yup, Liz haven't recovered on finding it and she thinks it was either lost in the river or eaten" says Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen.
"Heads up guys, looks like she's not alone" says Miles Morales/Kid Arachnid. "I know who that is, Ulysses Klaue" says Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen. "That guy who stole Vibranium, does the King of Wakanda know this?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "I don't think so mate, as far as I know there is no Vibranium here but I'm betting that one of these jewels contains Vibranium" says William Braddock/Spider-UK.
Peter quickly give Fury a heads up, Fury along with Maria Hill, Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton saw Felicia Hardy with Ulysses Klaue.
"Alright, let's get this party started" says Ulysses Klaue.
Peter waste no time but contact his team to close in and suit up, it was a robbery plus there is going civilian casualties and Peter also knows that his Aunt will be hurt too.
Peter quickly suit up into his homemade costume that is now upgrade once Peter heard the gunshot, his team also have upgraded suited with different feature to their suits including enhance vision and night vision. Miles Morales quickly hack the building mainframe, it was successful and Miles automatically turn off the lights so that the Web Warriors can sneak in behind them.
"Don't be afraid, we can handle this" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "You better cheat on me, little Yankee girl" says Ulysses Klaue.
Therefore, the web warriors manage to regroup with Nick Fury and his team.
"Good work on putting out the lights, but you guys probably know that they'll turn it back on" says Nick Fury. "Yeah, my team will take care of them and I need you guys to help save the hostage" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "You can count on us" says Nick Fury.
Then, the Web Warriors spring into action and they have just 5 minutes the system reboot also switching back the lights on.
Peter led his team to the main hall; the Web Warriors beat down silently the thugs using the blackout as a covered for them. However, the light was switch on by the time they got to the main hall and now the thief begins to use their guns plus it's now guns blazing everywhere.
Ulysses Klaue's arm is now being replace with a Vibranium arm, Ultron has already broken Klaue's arm back in Africa and the Web Warriors fought back while dodging bullets including the Vibranium blaster on Klaue's arm.
The thugs were taken down but Felicia and Klaue escape, but the Web Warriors went to chase Felicia while Nick Fury and his team went to chase Klaue.
The Web Warriors chase Felicia right towards the Brooklyn Bridge, the Web Warriors immediately cornered Felicia and not allowing her to escape.
"It's over, Felicia and there is nowhere to run" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "I thought you guys were holding back" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "I did hold back once, but I won't make that mistake again Felicia" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
The Web Warriors fought Black Cat, Felicia didn't know that Peter could hold up a fight since Flash always bullied him.
"You're not even holding back, Peter" says Felicia Hardy/Black Cat. "Why can't you fight back with Flash Thompson?" Felicia Hardy/Black Cat asked. "That's none of your business, kitty cat" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
Peter manage to hold his own against Felicia, Felicia was immediately beaten down but she refuses to surrender and Felicia made her escape.
"She got away, man" says Miles Morales/Kid Arachnid. "She'll be back, I know her" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
After that, Peter went to reunite with his aunt and surprisingly he didn't even need an excuse to let his aunt know where he has gone.
"I'm sorry aunt may" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "It's okay, but where did you go?" May Parker asked. "I manage to get out, I went to find Spider-Man and the Police" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Peter, you're a good boy and you should know that I'm always going to be the one to look after you" says May Parker. "Thanks May, I'm sorry you didn't win that prize" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Peter, you are important than anything" says May Parker.
When Peter and his aunt return to their apartment in one piece, Peter receive a package on their way in.
"Peter, I believe this is for you and there is no return address?" May Parker asked. "Really, that's weird" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Should I open it?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "Well, make sure hear it or shake it to make sure it's not exploding" May Parker suggested.
As Peter took the package into his room, Peter notice letter is attach on the bottom of the package and Peter open the letter to find a note.
Peter, that was a nice work out there. I have to admit that your team was lacking experience and training, but you proved it tonight and now I understand why you wear a mask unlike Stark of course.
I admire your leadership towards your team, perhaps your team and you could one day be a good asset to the Avengers also to Captain Rogers. The fact that Felicia and Klaue got away was unavoidable, but as protector and hero you were given a choice whether to save the people or chase the villain.
You choose to save the people, that was reckless but brave and I will hope to see you again even the Black Widow and Hawkeye couldn't help but respect you. Don't worry, they won't even ask your team for a rematch.
I'll see you soon, webslinger.
Sincerely, Nick Fury. P.S, take my radio communicator and I used this to hear any news in the politics so use it so that you can get a heads up in the political wilderness.
Peter knew that Black Widow and Hawkeye will let it go, but Peter knows that they'll meet up again in the near future.
The package contains Fury's old radio communicator, the device was used to hack into the political hardware either to listen or to transfer a certain data. Peter believed it could be useful if Peter can tinkerer with the tech, it was a bit obsolete but Peter knows how to handle it since Peter have manage to fix things using spare parts that Peter took from the trash.
As they say; one man's trash is another man's treasure.
That's all.
On the next chapter – the Web Warriors will head for the Stark Expo only to be encounter a group of HYDRA Thugs planning to steal the tech.
Stay tuned.
