Chapter 8

"So Yuri is now calling herself the Wraith?" MJ asked with concern evident in her voice.

"Yeah she isn't the same Yuri that helped me for all these years, I don't know something has really changed her and I think it all started with Hammerhead making his move on the city again. Since she tried to kill him, she has went off the deep end and is killing all the criminals in her path all in the name of true justice as she would say " Peter sighed and lay down, the phone resting against his ear.

"Wow, and are you sure you are okay? I thought you were dead Tiger."

"I am fine now, just a bit sore that's all. If it wasn't for Felicia then I may have never been found"

Peter heard MJ sigh on the other end of the phone causing him to laugh gently.

"Don't worry MJ, I don't see Felicia trying to play me this time. I actually believe she has changed, you know?"

"You said that last time, Pete. We can't trust her."

"Yes I did MJ but she did save me after that. if it wasn't for her then, I would have been dead courtesy of Hammerhead, so I am sorry if I happen to trust her. "

MJ sighed again and spoke softly.

"I am sorry Pete, I am just stressed out and was worried that she wanted something else and was just using you. If you trust her, then so do I. "

"Thanks, MJ. I know you will always do the right thing and that's why I love you."

"I love you too, Tiger. I can't wait to get home to see you again, Sable has been doing a pretty good job here. She has been showing that Dictator asshole not to mess with her country. My story is going to go viral."

"That's great MJ, I can't wait when you get home too. Dinner on me at Mick's?"

"Sure Tiger, anyway I gotta run, I will call you tomorrow. "

"Bye, MJ be safe."

"I will and you be safe too Tiger."

Peter smiled and put his phone on the bed and throwing his dirty clothes into the laundry basket. He got a clean towel and went to the bathroom to have a shower.

Abandoned Warehouse, Brooklyn New York

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE GOT AWAY!" yelled the Mysterious man.

"Like I told you his little bitch of all girlfriend came and saved him! " Yuri yelled back, full of rage.

"And what you couldn't handle her? What am I paying you for?" The man retorted.

"You are paying me to distract Spider-Man, not to fight the Black Cat and Spider-Man at the same time"

"Okay Yuri, you have another job on top of your main one. I want the Black Cat killed"

"You really think its that easy don't you?" Yuri answered back with defiance in her voice.

"Yes I do, the Spider and Cat have been thorns in my side for far too long now and I think its time to take her out with her boyfriend."

"Fine I will do it, but on one condition "

"What is your condition, Miss Watanabe?"

"I want double payment and I want to see who this black cat really is. I don't care about unmasking Spider-Man, I just want to Black Cat."

"You have a deal and don't worry I will be the one unmasking the Spider when I am about to kill him "

"How are you actually going to kill him? Do you really think Norman Osborn, the former Mayor of New York could kill the Spider?"

"Oh you will see what I have in store for the Spider"

"Why do you truly want the Spider, killed Mr. Osborn. " Yuri asked

"He was in part to blame for me losing office," Norman said with anger in his voice.

"I think that was your fault for making Devils Breath," Yuri said with a scoff

"Yes that may be true but if it wasn't for Spider-Man and that damn reporter Mary Jane Watson leaking it to the public I would still be in office. Trust me, they will both get what's coming to them. " Norman gritted his teeth and held his glass of whiskey.

"I remember when I was working with the Spider, he spoke about having one of his best people doing his research while he was doing all the fighting, what if this Mary Jane Watson was the one helping him and that is how she was in the know about Devils Breath"

Norman stared at Yuri, a look of thought on his face. moments later he grinned evilly at Yuri and raised his glass to his lips, taking a sip.

"I think you might be on to something, Miss Watanabe, seems you are still the very best detective in this city"

"I am indeed, Mr. Osborn, if you will excuse me, I have a cat to hunt"

Norman laughed and watched Yuri leave, the same evil grin appearing on his lips after Yuri left. He shouted to one of his goons.

"Go and try to find Mary Jane Watson, she works for the Daily Bugle. I don't think Spider-Man would appreciate his little friend being taken.

The goons nodded at their boss and left the building, leaving Norman to plot further.

Daily Bugle Building

Gwen Stacy sat at her desk typing away on the story she was currently working on. It was about an all-time record low for crime rates, thanks to Spider-Man cleaning up the streets. She looked over her work looking for any typos. She looked up at the sound of a loud bang and her eyes widened at the group of men holding guns walking into the office.

"Where is Mary Jane Watson!" One yelled and pointed his gun at an intern who was holding onto that morning's paper.

"I uh don't know where she is, she hasn't been seen in weeks " The intern gulped as he stared at the men.

"Not good enough" The goon grabbed the intern and held him as if he was a human shield, a gun pointed to his head.

"I will give you all to the count 20 to get the boss out here or this guy will die. "

Gwen looked around at the scared faces of her colleagues, as the man started counting. Each second he pointed his gun at a different staff member.

"15, 16, 17.."

Robbie Roberston came forward, holding his hands up.

"Please gentleman, put your guns down."

"Are you the boss?" The goon pointed his gun at Robbie now. Robbie responded with a slow nod of his head.

"Where is Mary Jane Watson?" He walked towards Robbie, still holding the intern and still pointing his gun in front of him.

"She is on leave, Has been since a couple of weeks ago"

"You best not be lying or I will kill everyone in this building. Go check the full office and tell me what you find."

Gwen watched as the rest of the goons started to look around for MJ, seeing they were distracted took out her phone and sent a text message to her father, letting him know what was going on.

A couple of minutes later, the goons returned, all of them shaking their heads.

"Can't find her, the guy must be telling the truth" One goon spoke as the leader turned back to Robbie.

"You are lucky you know, you get to live for another day. I can't say the same thing about this guy " The leader pointed his gun at the intern's head again.

"Wait NO Please stop" Robbie yelled.

The goon was about to pull the trigger until the huge window that sat in the middle of the office exploded and Spider-Man came flying in, webbing the leaders gun to the wall.

"It's Spider-Man, the wants him alive, so don't kill him!" The leader yelled and threw the intern aside and charged at Spider-Man with the rest of his goons.

Gwen watched as Spider-Man took on 10 guys all on his own, webbing them to walls and sending them flying through tables. She was in awe at the way he moved and dodged gunshots or swings from weapons. She saw Spider-Man now holding the leader through the broken window.

"Tell me why are you here?" Spider-Man asked.

"I ain't telling you shit, Bug." The leader retorted.

"Are you sure about that chief?" Spider-Man loosened his grip and caused the leader to yell in fear.

"Alright, I will talk! Just put me down please!"

Spider-Man put the leader back on his own two feet and held him still.

"We were sent here to find Mary Jane Watson, The leader said.

Gwen noticed Spider-Man's eye widen in surprise.

"What do you want with Miss Watson?" Spider-Man said with anger in his voice, causing the leader to freak out more.

"I don't know I swear, I just take orders from my boss. Please don't hurt me."

Spider-Man sighed and was about to continue the interrogation but was interrupted by a swat team entering the room, guns trained on Spider-Man.

"Stand down!" Captain Stacy yelled as he walked to the front of the pack.

"Nice work Spider-Man but if you wouldn't mind, can we take it from here?"

Spider-Man grunted and pushed the leader towards the swat team and turned, making sure everyone else was okay. He spotted Gwen and winked at her, causing her to smile as he jumped from the window and swung away.

Felicia's Apartment

Felicia sat on the couch stroking her cat, she was drinking some wine and having a lazy day. She was, of course, daydreaming about the Spider. He did things to her that no one else could.

"Felicia.." Felicia jumped slightly and turned to see Spider-Man looking all handsome in his suit. She smiled further when the face of Peter Parker was revealed. He really was handsome in and out of the suit.

"What brings you here, Spider?"

"Something serious is going down but I don't know what. All I know is someone is out to get MJ. "

"Wait, someone is targeting the redhead?" Felicia asked with a confused face.

"Yeah, I don't know why all I know is that's she's in danger and I hate that. Thank God she isn't in the country right now, It gives me time to try sort this out by the time she gets home."

"Did you find out anything at all? like who could be hunting her?"

"Nah I was about to ask but the cops burst in then and i didn't fancy being shot at."

"Yeah you getting shot would be awful, it would damage those amazing muscles. " Felicia ran her finger down his chest and he backed away from her.

"come on stop it!" Peter laughed and sat down. Felicia sat down next to him and touched his shoulder.

"I don't feel like stopping, I like to explore. You know this Spider.." Felicia smirked at him.

"Yes,I know all too well about you and your exploring. I came here to ask for your help."

"Oh in what way do you need my help?" Felicia batted her eyebrows seductively with a smirk on her face. This caused Peter to blush.

"Not like that!" Peter blurted out and started to laugh.

"I want your help in taking down this threat, I know you don't owe me anything but I would appreciate the help." Peter looked at her, his eyes burning to her face.

Felicia looked back at his big brown doe eyes and had to stop herself from kissing him right there.

"I will help you, someone needs to watch out for you after all." Felicia smiled as Peter leaned forward and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you" He whispered into her ear. " I knew trusting you was the right thing to do and this truly means a lot to me."

Felicia smiled at him softly and squeezed his leg gently. " Anything for you, Spider. "

Peter smiled and stood up and walked to the balcony he came in. He turned and smiled at Felicia again and waved before he finally swung away.

"The things that man does to me" Felicia whispered and went to her bedroom, she crawled into bed and lay down. She had a smile on her face, as she fell asleep dreaming about the one person who truly mattered to her.
