I am back with a new chapter! I hope everyone is staying safe and following guidelines. These are tough times we live in, so please be careful! I apologize for the late update but I have been sick myself, hopefully, nothing serious of course. Thank you to all of those who reviewed the last chapter, I really appreciate it!

Chapter 16

"So what do we do next?"

Yuri asked with a sneer on her face, she was still furious that Felicia caught her off guard and managed to escape. This would only make her eventual death worse. Norman put his feet on his desk and just put his hands behind his head in a relaxed fashion which irritated Yuri but she didn't let it show.

"What do you mean what is next? I should be cutting you loose because you have struggled to kill the cat on countless occasions." Norman said with no hint of malice, just a calm demeanor about him.

"I am your best hope you asshole!" Yuri yelled in frustration causing some of the guards nearby to point their guns at her in alarm. Yuri just sneered at all of them before turning back to Norman, who raised his hand, indicating to lower the weapons pointed at Yuri.

"That may be true Miss Watanabe but how can I know you will succeed next time? " Norman was now leaning forward on his desk as he watched the former police captain.

"I will deliver the Cat's head on a platter and will do my part with getting Spider-Man in position. When do we move?" Yuri kept her expression blank.

" We move soon. Here is what we are going to do, we are going to go silent for a little while, to try and get the Spider and the Cat off of our tail for a bit. In the meantime, I want you to do more research on Felicia Hardy, I already know enough about Peter Parker. I want to know where she sleeps and I want to where she eats, got it?"

Yuri nodded her head but had a question she wanted to know the answer to. " Why is Parker involved in this? I thought all he did was take pictures of the Spider. It seems like he is dating Hardy when she isn't the black cat. Seems she isn't the loyal type since she is screwing the Spider behind the guys back too. "

Norman just got a smirk on his face. "I have known Peter Parker for years, he is my son's best friend. According to my son, he used to be this really skinny kid who would try to protect the other kids from bullies but ended up getting bullied himself. Then from out of nowhere, he bulked up and became a machine. I think there is more to him and I am going to figure it out, just to wait. He is the key to this. "

"Okay, what about the reporter what do we do about her?" Yuri asked

"We have a couple of guys follow her, she will be a part of the final plan as well but she will be my bait. The Spider won't want to let his little friend die at my hands but she will along with him. "

"I will get right on the Hardy research. " Yuri walked away as Norman pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Son, I have a favor to ask. Can you go to Oscorp and get me Peter Parker's job interview video? I think it is time the boy really helped changed the world for the better"

Peter sat on the couch in Felicia's apartment as he received a text from MJ.

"Hey Pete, I have some info for you. It is about Norman Osborn's whereabouts. "

" Really? where is he?"

"I can't say over text, you never know who is watching, can you and Felicia meet me later once I am off from work?"

"We will be there "

Peter put his phone down as Felicia came walking sleepily into the living room, clearly just waking up.

" What are you doing here so early?" Felicia fell down beside him and rested her face in his neck, causing Peter to laugh.

" Not a morning person still?" Peter said with a grin, as Felicia looked up at him, her hair all messed up from sleeping.

" I will never be a morning person. How the hell are you so energetic this early in the morning?" She placed her face in his neck again and closed her eyes hoping to catch some more sleep on her boyfriend.

" I guess I had all the hours I needed, besides I wanted to come to see you because I missed you "

"I don't have time for flattery at this time in the morning!" Felicia grumbled as she was close to falling asleep again.

"Well in that case, you won't want your good morning kiss and breakfast made for you then?" Peter smirked as her head immediately jerked up.

"Don't be hasty now Peter?" Felicia said as she was slightly more awake now.

Peter went to stand up to start breakfast but Felicia stopped him.

"Good morning kiss first!" She grumbled and gently kissed his lips, her hands going around his neck to hold him close. Peter held her waist, being sure to not touch the area's that still hurt, the kiss was gentle but had so much raw emotion it almost took his breath away.

"Right that's enough, for now, Miss Hardy I am hungry " Peter stood up as Felicia started to pout at him, giving him her best puppy dog eyes.

" Fine but I get more of you later, no escaping me Parker!"

"I wouldn't want to escape you, my lover."

MJ walked through the streets of New York, a tired expression on her face. It had been a long day at work and MJ was so glad it was the weekend so she could actually get some rest. She yawned as she approached the door to her apartment building and stopped, she had a weird feeling that someone was watching her. She looked around a bit and didn't see anything.

" Must be more tired than I thought " She whispered to herself and opened the door, not seeing the group of guys that were now across the street in clear view walking away. She walked to her door and slid the key into the lock and opened it and closed it as soon as she was inside. She put her bag on the table and let her hair out of its usual ponytail, and took a seat on her couch.

Taking out her phone she sent Peter a text. " I am home now, drop by whenever "

She got a quick reply that said he and Felicia would be there in 5 minutes. She put her phone on the table and turned the TV on, scrolling through the channels until she heard a knock on her fire escape. She walked over and saw Felicia in normal street clothes but Peter was in his full white Spider costume.

She opened the window and helped Felicia inside, knowing about her injuries from the gunshot and also from Yuri. Felicia looked at her strangely but that look didn't last long before they were all sitting down on the couch. Peter removed his mask and was the first to speak.

" So what do you have MJ?"

MJ took out a laptop from her large handbag and opened it up to reveal several dots planted around the city.

"Remember when I broke into Norman's penthouse and got the devils breath info?" MJ asked and Peter nodded.

"Well,It turns out I actually managed to download a lot more. Look at this, these are locations that Norman owns. You have places in Manhattan like Oscorp and his house obviously but he actually owns the raft prison. "

Peter looked at her and suddenly his expression changed. " So Norman could be behind the breakout? Martin Li said it was Yuri."

"That's the thing Pete, I think they are working together, MJ said.

"Yeah, t does make a ton of sense, especially since he happens to be looking for me to offer me a job. " Felicia emphasized the job part with her fingers and turned to MJ.

"So why would he want to help Yuri? Didn't Peter save him on live TV?" Felicia looked at her boyfriend who was in deep thought.

"I don't get why he would work with Yuri, that part doesn't make sense. A lot of this doesn't. If he was the mayor why would he breakout inmate's from the most secure prison on the east coast?"

"I don't know Pete, but I have found other places where he could be hiding, I don't think Harry is being entirely honest about his dad as well as his own health. I think Norman is still close by but I don't know where. He owns a lot of places in New York. He owns warehouses in Brooklyn which are listed for Oscorp stock and equipment. He owns night clubs and restaurants. He even owns a hotel. So if he is here, he could be anywhere"

Peter listened to what MJ said and just put his head in his hands. He felt Felicia rub his back gently as he was thinking.

" So I think we should check each one out, It will take me a while though," Peter said softly.

"I can help, Felicia and MJ both said at the same time and they both looked at each other.

"Fine, you can both help but only when you have healed Felicia, I need as much info on these places as we can. "

Both girls nodded and Felicia stood up gingerly, her ribs still giving her problems. Peter noticed this and gave MJ as hug before he held Felicia's waist gently but making sure she was securely against him.

"I best get her home, she needs rest." MJ nodded as she watched Peter start to swing slowly back towards Felicia's apartment.

Peter landed on Felicia's balcony gently and helped his girlfriend through the door before closing it. He picked her up in his arms gently and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

" Let's get you to bed for some rest," Peter said softly as Felicia ran her fingers down his neck. She had a mischievous smile on her face.

" Remember when I said I wanted more this morning?"

Peter looked at her and nodded his head.

"Well it is time to pay up honey, the Cat wants her own booty call tonight " Felicia practically purred the last part which sent shivers down his spine.

"Your wish is my command"

Felicia giggled as Peter carried her to the bed and they spent the rest of the night having a lot of fun.

Well, guys I really hope you all enjoyed Chapter 16! We got some more plot and the final plan is coming together. Norman and Peter are both on to each other though, what is going to happen? Will Yuri be stopped on her path of vengeance or will she succeed and get what she really wants, Felicia dead. As always, I would appreciate it if you would review to let me know what you think, I feel this chapter had been very light-hearted which we need at times like this so, I hope it was really worth the wait .
