Guest: No, he won't.
Deadpool322: She really was, though I preferred her classic leather suit which is what she'll be using in this story instead of the suit she wore in the game. Basically think Black Cat from the video game but in the skintight leather suit she's most commonly known for. As for Ryan's new suit being the Dark Suit... may do that.
Adamprime117: Don't worry, I ain't deleting this for any reason.
kival737101: That I'm... still trying to figure out. Then again, Felicia could make a game out of getting the drives for her boyfriend to chase her and catch her.
Guest: I am thinking of doing that.
ThunderBasilisk: It is. I wonder why most don't pair her with anyone else aside from Spider-Man.
DreamWorksDisneyFan2000: What kind of wolf components do you think a suit like that needs? As for the colouring... it would probably be more black with a bit of red.
Felicia Hardy sat outside the small café, the high-end establishment in her business suit and sunglasses, sipping at a glass of wine as she heard the distinct sound of an approaching black and red Dodge Charger SRT Demon. A few minutes later, her boyfriend and the love of her life joined her dressed up for lunch. "Hey honey." Felicia greeted him and they shared a loving kiss before sitting. "How was work?"
Ryan gave her an amused look. "You saw the news, I take it." he stated more than asked and she gave a Cheshire cat-like grin in response, making him chuckle. "Work was... busy. But it came with a good result. The Kingpin is headed off to Ryker's for good."
"The end of an era and the start of a new one." Felicia said as she poured wine for the two of them and they clinked their glasses together before sipping them but never took their eyes off the other. Ryan still couldn't believe how this woman, who had once been the biggest pain in the ass when they first met, had become the woman of his dreams, the love of his life, the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
He remembered how they first met, however it had been in costume.
(Flashback, a few years ago)
"Rhino's in jail, Pete, and I'm seeing potential robbery happening at the art gallery." Ryan said as he was perched on a rooftop, overlooking the art gallery where several guys were breaking into. He had just defeated the Rhino and was hoping to take the rest of the night off... seems he'll have to handle one more thing before doing so.
"That's great, Ryan. I'm a little busy right now so you'll have to handle those robbers." Peter said in the mask's built in cellphone that their masks can connect. It had been a new upgrade for them instead of having to use their phones.
"Got it." Ryan said before ceasing communication as he swung over to the art gallery and entered. It wasn't long before he came into the art gallery itself, where he saw several of the robbers trying to steal the bigger pieces of art... but they didn't know how to get them off the walls because of how big they were and the way they were placed on the wall.
One was holding one end but couldn't reach the other. Another was grunting as he tried yanking the painting off the wall to no avail.
Ryan jumped onto the top of a painting and watched them before he shook his head. "You guys really need to think of robbing small stores instead of art galleries." He said, gaining their attention.
"It's the Spider! Shoot him!" One of them shouted before they whipped out guns and fired at him but Ryan leaped out of sight before he ran through the shadows and shot a webline out, snatching one of the criminals and yanked him to his position where Ryan easily knocked him out.
"Shit! Where is he?! One of the robbers yelled as they were looking all over the place, unaware Ryan was actually on the roof and was slowly hanging down on a web until he was behind two of the robbers. "Where are you?!"
"Here." Ryan whispered, scaring the two robbers before they got fists to the face.
With the quickness and agility of a spider, Ryan attacked, looking like a dark blur to anyone who stood on the sidelines watching as the criminals were trying to get a good shot at the vigilante who was giving them no chance nor was he showing any relent. Unlike his brother, Ryan left criminals hurt enough to be in the hospital for maybe a few months. But Ryan would not cross the line of killing... unless there was no other choice.
Eventually, Ryan uppercuts the last thug, sending him flying and crashing into the wall hard and knocked out. He looked around at all the knocked out thugs.
"This may not be art but I like it." Ryan shrugged as he went to g web and tie them up before he heard a female giggle and sensed, looking around before he looked to the next floor.
And that's when he met her.
Clad in skintight black leather that hugged a voluptuous body with the zipper halfway down and exposing a fair amount of her DD-cup cleavage, long white hair, a black domino mask, sitting casually with her long legs crossed at the knee and looking down at him like he was a ant she was curious about, was a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
"Well hello there~" She purred as she changed her position so she was leaning on the railing like a cat of some sorts. "You have nice moves there."
"These thugs yours." Ryan asked as he raised an eyebrow under his mask.
She scoffed in amusement. "No." With that she got off and walked away.
"Hey!" Ryan shot two weblines out and propelled himself onto the second level and followed her out onto the balcony just as she shot a grappling hook out and swung herself over to the next building. The woman looked back at him with a grin.
"Come and get me, wolfy!" She called before running.
"Oh it's on." Ryan muttered before he shot a webline out and swung after all in the first of many chases around the city between these two.
(End flashback)
"Ryan!" Ryan blinked several times and looked into the concerned eyes of Felicia. "You okay? You spaced out for several seconds."
"Nah just... remembering how we met several years back." Ryan said and she grinned.
"Oh I remember and love that night very well." Felicia said with a sigh. "The night this black cat crossed your path and into your life forevere."
"Who knew that the woman who became such a pain in the ass for several weeks would become the girl I love?" Ryan asked, making her chuckle before they shared a loving kiss that lasted 20 seconds before they pulled away. "Want to get out of here , back to ours and fool around?"
"Mmm~" Felicia hummed seductively. "This kitty needs to reward her spider for taking care of the big bad Kingpin. I'll pay this time."
Peter Parker, still in his battle worn suit, slipped in the back door Octavius Industries and ducked into a supply closet where a duffel bag containing spare changes of clothes was stashed. Today was another critical step in their project of prosthetics.
Quickly pulling on a shirt and pair of pants as he made sure his suit was out of sight as he stuffed the mask in the bag and pulled on a lab coat, he rushed out of the closest and into the main workshop. "Sorry I'm late, I—" he began to apologize before he looked up and took in the sight before him. Otto was strapped into the harness, massive bundles of cables extending from the harness on his back that passively picked up bioelectrical pulses in his spinal cord. Next to him, the prototype left arm moved only scant milliseconds behind Otto's actual arm, twisting, flexing, and bending its fingers nimbly in response to Otto's actual arm doing the movements. "You started without me."
"The grant committee's director will be here soon." explained Octavius, but the man didn't miss the less than certain expression Peter had on his face. "It's fine Parker. I invented this equipment. I think I can handle it."
Peter stepped up, looking over the rig before everything went to hell. The faint humming from the electrics against the wall soon was replaced by crackling and furious sparking.
Peter's eyes widened in horror, "The power dampener!" he realized as he shielded his face from the sparks and unplugged the main cable, but to no effect. "Oh man…" he muttered as claxons blared and red warning lights flickered on and off. "Uh…maybe we should abort?" he suggested as he pulled up the status of the rig on the terminal that monitored the technology.
Otto was determined however, "Not yet." he ground out as Peter watched the diagnostics continue to dive deeper into the red before the power cutoff box hooked up to the terminal sparked angrily, a flicker of flame coming uncomfortably close to Peter's face. His spidey sense was the only thing that allowed him to recoil in time to not lose his eyebrows. Otto, however, fared far worse, the power, now unregulated, surged into the harness. The entire rig's wiring melted instantly, the plastic insulation bursting into flame as Otto grit his teeth in pain from the unexpected shock.
"Hold on!" called Peter as he decided that enough was enough and darted towards the emergency release, slamming his hand down on the large red button with slightly more force than was strictly necessary. No sooner was that done then he yanked the release on Otto's harness, causing the main to fall to his knees, "Dr. Octavius! Are you okay?" asked Peter as he helped the man to his feet.
Despite the ordeal, Otto seemed to have emerged intact, his spirt even remained unbroken, "Another setback." he said simply. Peter looked back at the ruined equipment, unable to find it in him to fully agree, but he knew just what Otto was capable of. Otto then grabbed him by the arm and made Peter look him in the eye, "but we're close." assured the scientist with a smile. And for a brief moment, Peter felt like things might be looking up.
That was until the door opened and the grant committee walked in to the smoldering wreck created by the failed test.
While Peter would usually say it was good when you could shock the grant committee, he would also say it was better to do it by having your project working. "Is anyone hurt?" asked the woman in front bluntly.
"No." answered Peter quickly, "but it was all my faul—" began Peter, only for Otto to cut him off.
"The energy levels exceeded our expectations." He explained weakly. "From a certain viewpoint that's a very positive development." The fact that the new systems were transferring the power that well was a massive improvement, their new compounds were more efficient, but now the problem was regulating all of that energy transfer.
Understandably, the committee didn't understand the particulars of the project. "It doesn't smell very positive" ground out the woman in retort.
"I assure you, in the next phase—"
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves." said the woman, cutting off Otto before she coughed, waving her hand to get some reprieve from the smoke that was in the air. "Is there somewhere else we can discuss this?" she asked.
Otto slumped dejectedly and turned to the lab assistant, "Maybe you should take the rest of the day off, Peter." he suggested, voice now sounding much more weary than it had just minutes before. Peter made to argue, but was shut down before he could get a single word out, "we'll talk later" assured Otto as the Queens native nodded and excused himself.
Even if Otto gave him the rest of the day off, Peter had nowhere else to go. Ryan, as always, offered to take up most of the patrol until Peter was finished. Though Peter had a feeling Ryan was spending some quality time with Felicia just now since he did mention before they separated that they had a lunch date.
Setting to work, her rewired the fried circuitry in the arm and worked on the spectrograph station, comparing samples of existing technology to readings taken from the Marauder's equipment. While he worked, he could overhear bits and pieces of the discussion occurring in Otto's office. Octavius was putting up a valiant defense, but it was clear that he was fighting a losing battle; the grant committee had already made up their minds as soon as they walked into the smoke filled lab.
Finally concluding that there was no work left to be done, Peter retraced his steps out the door and to the supply closet before reemerging minutes later as New York's very own Webslinger. Even if his suit still bore the scars of the battle earlier in the day, it was still liberating to don the mask of Spider-Man.
The ringing of his mask's built in cellphone jarred him from said thoughts as he answered before firing off a webline and beginning to swing into the city. "Spider-Man, it's Yuri." announced the Captain over the line, exhaustion permeating her tones.
"Fisk make it to Ryker's yet?" Peter asked, wanting to ensure that there were no unexpected complications for his and Ryan's longest running foe. Last thing they needed was Fisk escaping just after they apprehended him.
"Not Ryker's." replied Yuri with a sigh, "Our boy qualifies for the VIP treatment. He's in the Raft."
Peter's eyes actually widened at the news as he swung through the dimming city, the sun on its downward path. Peter knew who was also imprisoned within the Raft as Ryan had mentioned them earlier. "Ahhh... joining Scorpion, Electro, and the rest. Fisk should be honored, that's esteemed company."
Using his immense strength to launch himself from the top of a water tower, Parker changed direction as soon as he heard Yuri's actual reason for calling. "Could you swing by the precinct?" she asked. Got an issue that could benefit from your unique skillset."
"For you Yuri, anything." He replied as he began swinging in the direction of Chinatown. "I'm on my way." He finished before Yuri hung up on him and he continued swinging, adding in some flips and tricks for the benefit of onlookers below as another alert appeared on his HUD. "Hmm – Looks like Jameson's got a new episode out. Wonder what mine and Ryan's number one fan thinks about the Fisk Takedown…" he mused as the podcast began to play in his earpieces.
"This is Just the Facts with J. Jonah Jameson, where listeners like you discuss the issues affecting our city with Pulitzer prize winning…"
"TWO TIME!" Shouted the distinct voice of his former boss, cutting off the producer.
"...Two-time Pulitzer prize winning former publisher of the Daily Bugle." continued the unfortunate college kid who needed money more than most before he was cut off again.
"Hey! Plug the book!" Ordered Jameson with his usual amount of calm and patience.
Sighing in resignation, the Producer did as he was instructed. "And, as always, if you order Mr. Jameson's Book, Spider-Man/Wolf-Spider: Threats or Menaces, within 24 hours of our broadcast, you'll get an autographed copy at no extra charge."
"NO personalization's! Don't ask! Not gonna' get it!" Barked Jameson as Spider-Man couldn't help but snicker at the producer while also feeling sorry for the poor guy, having been on the receiving end of Jameson's fury more times than he cared to count. "Welcome to Just the Facts, with J. Jonah Jameson – alerting you to the threats you don't even know about. Let's dive right into the calls. Speak!"
"Okay" began the caller. "So, not for nuthin', you gotta' give Spider-Man and Wolf-Spider respect for taking down Wilson Fisk, right? I mean, one less mob boss is good for everybody."
"Is that right?" Replied Jameson sarcastically as Peter felt a wince build up on his features. "Tell me, are you a Police Officer? Prosecutor? Maybe an award-winning reporter with decades on the job, like me?"
"Uhh, no" replied the caller, "I'm a plumber."
"Oh, good." answered Jameson. "Then fix my toilet and SHUT UP! Let me explain something to you about crime bosses. Soon as one goes down, every punk with a gun, a tracksuit, and a drawer full of gold chains decides he's the next Godfather. We're going to have a gang war in the streets, but do those webheaded morons give a damn? No, they got on TV! That's what counts!"
"Yeah, well…I can get copper pipe without paying kickbacks now." answered the Plumber. "So until that gang war starts, I'm on their side."
"And you'll be singing a different tune when three new mobs are lining up to charge you triple for that same pipe." shot back JJJ, "Or…just break your legs! GOODBYE!"
Peter sighed as it ended there. "Someday Jonah. you'll say something nice about me and my brother... someday."
Peter arrived at the police precinct and sent a message to Yuri, letting her know he had arrived and he waited for her to join him on the rooftop. He didn't have to wait long before she came out and leaned on the railing. Once, she usually comes up here to smoke and get rid of the stress, but she quit smoking a while ago.
"Now that you've quit smoking, what do you tell people when you come up here?" Spider-Man asked as he jumped off the rooftop access he had perched himself on, landing on the railing.
"That I need a break from their crap." Yuri answered sarcastically before she slipped in a piece of gum. it replaced the smoking, so it worked.
"That's cops for you." A familiar voice said as Wolf-Spider swung onto the railing beside his brother. "Least she doesn't go to the doughnut shop like the other fat pigs."
Peter chuckled as Yuri had a genuine smile on her face before Peter asked. "So, why'd you call? Need a date to the policemen's ball?"
But the quip didn't faze the veteran officer at all. "You got a black and white suit?" she shot back without missing a beat, completely serious, though the small gleam in her eye gave it away.
"Uhh…" returned the wallcrawler dumbly as Wolf-Spider snorted in amusement.
Yuri shook her head. "No ball this year anyway. We spent too much incorporating Oscorp's surveillance tech." she said as the three looked towards the small high-tech antenna bearing the company's ubiquitous logo.
"Worth it though, right?" Peter asked.
"It was." Yuri said as she looked on ahead. "Until an hour ago. Whole system shut down, city wide. Every tower."
The Spider brothers shared looks before Wolf-Spider asked. "Inside job?"
"Maybe." agreed Yuri with a nod. "I'll figure it out later, right now we need to get these towers back online. Fast." she said, emphasizing the last word.
"And you called us?" Peter asked in mock astonishment. "Aww, that's sweet." Ryan chuckled beside him and nudged him.
Yuri gave him an annoyed look. "I called people I can trust. Plus, the signals are scrambled, and we have no idea how to fix it."
"Well, we do love a challenge." Wolf-Spider said as the two got off the railing while Yuri began walking back into the building.
"You break it, you buy it." Yuri warned the brothers.
"I thought you trusted us!" Peter said dryly as Yuri merely gave the two men one last exasperated look before heading back into the precinct. Once she was gone, Peter looked at his brother. "So, how'd you and Felicia's date go?"
"How do you think?" Ryan asked dryly.
Peter blushed. "Usual? End up in bed together?"
"Yep. Not that I'm complaining." Ryan said as he walked over to the tower and looked at the Oscorp logo on the side. "Man, wonder just how advanced Oscorp needs to be to have towers like this. Makes me kinda wish Stark created towers like this, he'd never let his systems shut down like this."
Peter snorted. "You want Tony Stark of all people to have his ego filled more than it already is?"
"Says the one who once wanted a suit made by his hand." Ryan shot back jokingly. "Plus we did get offered to join the Avengers but we refused."
"We like working the way we do." Peter nodded. "Plus, I thought you would've joined."
"Why?" Ryan gave his brother a confused look behind the mask.
"Well, Black Widow's a redhead and I know you have a serious-"
"Shut up." Ryan cut him off with a small blush under his mask. True, he did have a crush on the Black Widow. Which guy didn't? She was one of the hottest female Avengers on the team next to the likes of Scarlet Witch and Captain Marvel. However, Felicia was hotter than them in his opinion. hell, she could've been cast to play Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones and she'd nail that role.
Peter chuckled before they got to work on the tower. "Let's take a look at this tower."
They worked on the tower and got it working, though the way they did it meant they had to sync up into the tower to fix it, allowing them to monitor all crime data in the area right now. They told Yuri of this and reported a break-in attempt nearby which they went to go stop, finding several thugs attemtping to break into the back of a store.
"I don't think they forget their keys." Peter quipped.
"Let's ask." Ryan said before he swung down, startling the thugs. "Hey guys! Did you forget keys are needed for locked doors or did you forget that in high school?"
"Get him!" One of the thugs yelled before Peter shot a pair of weblines and pulled himself to him, driving him to the ground. Spider sense tingling, he dodged to his right as a crowbar narrowly missed him before he planted an uppercut on the man's chin that knocked him into the air as the Webhead leapt up in chase.
A flurry of punches and kicks fell upon the flailing gangbanger before Peter finally let him fall back to the ground, the red and blue clad hero landing in the middle of the group. "Didn't your parents ever tell you stealing isn't nice?" he asked when he felt his Spider sense go off wildly and immediately pulled himself up out of the group.
Ryan flipped over a thug, locked his legs around the guy's head and threw him into the ground hard to knock him out and he stood. The brothers looked over the knocked out criminals. "Okay Yuri, we're wrapped up here." Peter said to the police captain, letting her know they stopped the attempted break-in.
."Thanks for that." said Yuri sincerely as the two made their way back up to the rooftops. "Now I'm seeing an assault near you"
"You're in luck Yuri," answered Spider-Man before gradually beginning to deepen his voice for dramatic effect. "Your favorite tough-but-lovable, grizzled, seen too much detective is in town…"
"Oh fuck no." Ryan muttered with horror.
Yuri's response was far more pronounced. "WHAT?! No, no, no, no, no, you promised you wouldn't do that any…"
"Spider-Cop." he finished gleefully; despite the fact he could feel the daggers his brother was glaring into the back of his head.
"Please no." Yuri begged before she chose the wise option and hung up before Peter could continue.
"I hate you." Ryan said as he shook his head at his brother. "That 'Spider-cop' thing got old as soon as you made it up. We agreed you'd never do it again."
"I merely said 'let's agree to disagree'." Peter corrected.
Ryan sighed and swung off with his brother following him. The two brothers split to take care of the towers around the city. It was Ryan's idea... mostly so he didn't have to deal with anymore of the 'Spider-Cop' crap.
Although swinging around with a ripped suit wasn't on Ryan's to-do list, at least Felicia got a kick out of it and wondered if he'd ever considered swinging around with his muscular body on display for her entertainment. He had refused to do so because girls would try to steal him away from her, but she merely scoffed and said they could try but Ryan belonged to her as she belonged to him.
Although Felicia did say she had something special for him involving a new suit that she wasn't going to reveal to him... yet.
However, that could come later as Ryan was currently in normal clothing and at the FEAST center where his Aunt May worked. Ryan had called Peter to remind him of the party, and so Peter had arrived not that long ago.
The Parker brothers entered the kitchen where Martin Li was stacking some boxes. Martin Li was an Asian man of average height and build and wearing a white button-down shirt, black slacks, shoes, and tie. "Hey Martin, sorry we're late." greeted Peter in hushed tones.
"You're right on time." assured the philanthropist as he looked over his shoulder to see May Parker scribbling notes on a clipboard across the dining hall. "Just keep her distracted while we get everything ready."
The parker brothers nodded and went over to their dear aunt, the one who had taken care of them after uncle Ben died. "hey, there;s our favourite aunt." Peter said with a grin.
"She's our only aunt, moron." Ryan reminded him with a roll of his eyes but he hugged May. "Hey May."
May chuckled as she hugged her nephew back. "Hello Ryan. How are you and Felicia?"
When Ryan first introduced May to Felicia all that time ago, he thought they wouldn't get along but he was left with shock and surprise when May got on well with her and treated the girl like family. Felicia was clearly shocked as well as happy, considering her strained relationship with her mother. May seemed to have taken the role of being there to listen to Felicia's troubles and offer advise, kinda like what uncle Ben did for Ryan and peter when they were young.
"We're fine though..." Ryan scratched the back of his head as his brother and aunt raised their eyebrows at him. "I'm thinking of asking her to marry me."
Peter's eyes widened in shock as May gasped in delight and hugged him. "That's wonderful news! You two have been together for five years now, I thought you'd never get serious. have you bought a ring yet?"
Ryan sheepishly and embarrassingly shook his head. "Not yet. I've been looking but everywhere is expensive."
"That's New York for you." Peter quipped but he was happy for his brother.
May gave peter a look. "I only wish you and MJ could worked things out. She's a great girl."
Peter blinked, how did this suddenly become a talk about his love life? "Uh..."
Ryan chuckled. "Felicia and I do miss the double dates we used to go on with you two."
Peter sighed and sat down, his brother and aunt joining him as Peter looked at May, hoping to change the subject. "These past few years... you helping us through college and working here, sacrificing so much, and asking for nothing. I just wish there were more people like you in the world."
"He's right" Martin agreed as he arrived with the cake before stepping out from behind the cart. "Five years ago, you walked in here and told me you were inspired by my mission to help others. But now it's you who inspires me. Thank you May, for everything. Here's to many more years of service."
Felicia, who had been helping with decorations at FEAST for May's party, walked up to Ryan with two pieces of cake and offered one to him. "That was a brilliant party." Felicia said with a grin as they watched May who was sitting down, eating some cake and speaking to someone else. "She deserves this. That woman... doing what she's done and asking for nothing in return. Not many people in the world are like that."
"That's why she was the best at being there for me and peter after Ben died." Ryan said with a sigh as he wrapped an arm around her and held her close. "i don't know what me and Peter would do without her."
"Probably be lost in the dumps." Felicia joked, making him chuckle before they shared a kiss. "Now, as much as I'd like to stay here and spend more time with May and you, I need to go. I have a special event planned for you that's ready."
Ryan gave her a raised eyebrow. "What are you planning?"
Felicia grinned "You'll find out my love, soon~" She walked off towards the exit, hips swaying and considering the fact she wore a skirt that stopped mid-thigh and showcased her long, toned legs... it was causing Ryan's body to react in the best ways.
Peter then came up to Ryan, getting his attention. "Hey, we gotta go. Got a message from Yuri."
Ryan nodded and the two left for the rooftop to don their suits.
Ryan had to take a detour as he got a message from his girlfriend, inviting him to some address. Knowing this was the beginning of whatever game Felicia was starting to play, Ryan went over to the address to see a camera set up on a rooftop.
"Our old game of Wolf N' Cat, felicia?" Ryan asked under his breath as he looked over the set up before he saw the tape recorded and clicked it.
"Hello Wolfy~ I miss our old game of Wolf N' Cat. Maybe it's time to restart it. Don't worry, there's a delicious reward in the end for you~"
"What are you playing at, love?" Ryan asked himself as he looked through the camera and zoomed in while looking around before he spotted something familiar, one of Felicia's black cat toys. He took a photo and got a message, showing several more of these stakeouts were in various locations across the city. "Hmm, game on Felicia... game on..."
yeah, Felicia is beginning a game of Wolf N' Cat, something that used to go on between Ryan and Felicia. More of their past together will be shown, as well as how they went from the way they first met to eventually falling in love and becoming a couple. It might be short flashbacks in every two or three chapters, or each one, don't know yet.
And yeah, their first meeting was based off Black cat's intro from the Spider-Man 2 video game, especially since Black Cat was meant to be in the movie but she was scrapped. I think she was meant to be in the third film as well, but they replaced her with Gwen Stacy, but didn't add her into the game.
Seriously, the only time Felicia's ever gotten a cinematic role was in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 but she was Harry's assistant at Oscorp.
