Hello everyone, welcome back to another chapter of my story! I am so happy to read that everyone is still enjoying it. I want to talk first about how MJ reacted in the last chapter. She was very over the top but that is how I wanted it to play out as for story reasons. We are nearly halfway through the story and I am happy to say that the final act starts around chapter 20. Please enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 13

Felicia was getting ready to leave the hospital, a fact she was very happy about. She finished packing the rest of her stuff and turned to see Peter walking in with MJ.

"You ready to go?" Peter asked Felicia, as MJ stood beside him.

"Yeah I am all set, how are we getting to my place with the 3 of us?" Felicia asked as she smiled politely at MJ, who tried to smile back.

"Cab, I don't think you can be running on rooftops for a little while. " Peter chuckled and took Felicia's bag for her as MJ soon spoke.

"We best get going, I don't like hospitals " MJ tuned and walked out the room, Peter and Felicia following her. Soon the trio reached the streets of New York and MJ hailed a cab. She got into it after Peter opened the door for her and then watched as he helped Felicia into the seat beside her. MJ shifted uncomfortably and looked out the other window away from Felicia. Peter jumped into the front seat beside the driver and told him the address, they were soon on their way Felicia's place.

"So Pete, did you read that draft I sent you last night?" MJ asked as she took Peter's hand as she spoke to him from the back.

"Yes I did manage to read it and it looks really good, Sable helping you with it shocks me still. Like she isn't bad but I didn't take her for answering reporters questions. "

"Yeah, when I first saw her I thought she was going to shoot me on the spot. I think she just appreciated the fact someone was trying to get the real story out there" MJ said softly as they soon pulled up in front of Felicia's building and they all got out. Felicia was holding her stomach because it hurt really badly and put her arm around Peter's shoulder to help balance herself. He walked slowly with her to the front door and MJ watched them from behind.

Once inside the building, Peter helped Felicia to the elevator and held MJ's hand with the other as they started to move up to the top floor. When they reached the right floor, they walked out and into the apartment through the door. Peter gently sat Felicia on the couch and MJ sat on a chair opposite her. MJ watched as Peter help Felicia take her pain pills and just sighed silently, she knew something was going on but was she really mad? Like they could just be friends but the look Felicia gave Peter made her think differently.

"Pete, I gotta get going soon, so shall we talk about how we are going to take Yuri down?"

Peter nodded and sat next to Felicia as he started racking his brain for an idea. Eventually, he spoke. "She is working for someone, I just don't know who. All I know is she is hunting Felicia down on the vendetta against criminals or ex-criminals. It isn't the same Yuri that I helped through all those years, when I look at her now, all I see is a monster who is out for blood and we really need to stop her. "

MJ and Felicia sat listening to his words, thinking of ideas of their own. MJ was the first to speak up. "You say she is hunting criminals? So how would we be able to know her next move? This city is full of criminals "

Felicia spoke up next, "From what Peter has told me, she is hunting maggia members more so than just criminals."

"Then why is she hunting you?" MJ asked Felicia, who just shrugged her shoulders.

"I have no idea but If my guess is right, getting me would somehow bait Peter out to her and her boss. He has been captured already by her and from the little I heard, her boss has a huge vendetta against Spider-Man. "

"At least they don't know my real identity, that would make everything worse. Anyway, who could this boss be? " Peter asked with slight frustration.

"I don't know, there are too many criminals with a vendetta against you to count, " MJ said as she looked at Peter.

"What about the kingpin?" Felicia asked Peter responded with a shake of his head.

" Yuri would never work with him, she hates him too much. Besides, It has to be someone we wouldn't expect, she hates all the criminal scum, so therefore I think her boss isn't actually a criminal" Peter said and MJ nodded as she was thinking.

"Do you think the people that came to the Bugle looking for me are connected with this boss?" MJ asked.

"I think they are, but even then that isn't a good lead. Ah,I am so frustrated! " Peter yelled as he started to pace.

MJ sighed and stood up, she walked up to Peter and kissed him on the lips softly, Felicia watching them closely but neither noticed.

"I gotta go, I will see you later" MJ walked from the apartment without another word and left Peter and Felicia alone. Peter sighed as he watched her leave and continued to pace until he felt a soft hand take his hand and drag him down to the couch. Felicia smiled at him softly.

"Is the frustration directed at Yuri or your relationship with the redhead?" Felicia asked softly.

Peter looked at, his mouth was agape. "How did you know what I was thinking?"

Felicia just chuckled and laid her head against his chest, feeling him wrap his arm around her. "It is obvious, what is bugging you, sweetie?" She looked up at him with the same soft smile.

"I don't know, MJ just seems different or is it me? I guess I still haven't forgiven her for accusing me of cheating. " Peter closed his eyes and sighed again.

"Hey I know it hurts but at least you still have her" Felicia said with some sadness in her voice.

"Yeah you are right, I don't know. I just need to talk to her with what she said in the hospital and get it all out in the open. It was very awkward today, did you feel it?" Peter asked her as he looked down at her.

"Yeah," She said as she buried her head further into his chest. " She isn't happy with how close we are."

"Yeah she really isn't, besides I don't know why she would think I would cheat on her, we are just friends. " Peter said as if he was trying to convince himself.

"Well we did date at one point, I would be jealous too. " Felicia said, she knew she was already jealous but she was trying to make him feel better.

"You are right again, Thanks Felicia," Peter said softly and stroked her hair. Felicia smiled and blew him a kiss. They sat in comfortable silence and Felicia ended up falling asleep as Peter ran his fingers through her hair. Peter smiled and gently scooped her up into his arms, being careful not to hurt the wound that was stitched up. He walked her into the bedroom and lay her under her covers softly. He stood again and looked at her.

"You are really beautiful," He said to himself, not knowing that Felicia actually heard it.

Peter leaned down and kissed her on the forehead, before leaving the room. Felicia felt his lips on her skin and instantly smiled widely after he left the room.

"I love you, Peter " she whispered before falling back asleep.

"Seems the Mary Jane girl has returned to town, shall we make our move right away?" a thug asked Norman.

"No I don't think that is a good idea, I want to make sure it is the perfect time. "

Norman turned as he saw Yuri walk in, a folder on in her hand.

"Who was the guy you killed today?" Norman asked her.

"Mario Stefano, he was charged with murder but got let off when the witness failed to show. The witness had apparently killed themselves the night before by hanging themselves. Turns out this guy strangled them, we tried to test for DNA at the time but we found nothing. "

Norman nodded his head as he listened. "So the Spider will find the body and when he does what is the next move?" He asked Yuri.

"I will follow him, I want to know where he sleeps and I want to know who he hangs with. It will give us more leverage to use against him. "

"What about the Cat?" Norman asked.

"She will be dead soon, I know where most of her hideouts are thanks to previously working with Spider-Man, If she goes back to any of them, I will know"

"Good work Yuri, It is almost time to put the big plan in motion."

"I can't wait to see it"
