Hello everyone, welcome back to the next chapter of Marvel's Spider-Man 2. I hope everyone is doing well. I have been struggling lately with a bad case of sunstroke so I haven't had the energy to write but I am trying to push through. We are so close to finishing the story, the final battle is looming closer and should start really soon. I hope everyone is excited to see what I have planned, I know I am very excited to share it with you!
Chapter 23
Felicia was sat on her balcony, gazing out over the beautiful city she called home. It was a cold chilly night and she was in deep thought, the biggest fight of her life is looming closer and she isn't worried for herself, she is worried for Peter most importantly. She was confident that he could beat anyone but there was this nagging feeling in her mind that kept on saying "what if he didn't come back?" Felicia felt her eyes go slightly misty, she swatted her hands at her eyes and wiped the tears as they began to fall. She has never cried over a guy before but Peter just wasn't a normal guy, he was special, Spider powers or not. Peter gained her attention at first the first night they met, she was intrigued by his skills and she couldn't lie, but she thought he looked hot in his suit. A small smile appeared on her lips as she began to drift back to when times seemed so much simpler.
Flashback
Black cat grabbed the bag she was carrying with her and exited through the hole she cut in the roof of the jewelers that she was robbing. It was a big score, she managed to steal some valuable diamonds that will sell for a lot. She really didn't need the money but she enjoyed the thrill. She looked around and made sure no one was around, smiling when she realized the cops were still not there she started to make her escape but a deep voice behind her stopped her in her tracks, causing her to turn and look at the person that interrupted her. She gasped silently and started to look him up and down with appreciation evident on her face.
"How original by the way, a cat burglar actually dressed up as a cat." The man said to her.
"Spider-Man, I presume?" She said with a smirk on her face, ignoring his attempt at a joke.
"The one and only. " He muttered as he stared down the cat thief. "What do they call you? Catwoman? Nah can't be that, that one is already taken"
"Do you ever stop talking?" The black cat remarked trying to hold in a giggle.
"No I don't, I feel its a good way to keep you distracted while I web you up" Spider-Man fired a web at the cat thief but missed her due to her quick reflexes, he was rather impressed.
"Missed me, now you gotta kiss me." Black Cat blew him a kiss and started to run towards the roof. Dodging his web strikes every time, she smirked and turned around only to be hit by one on her back, causing her to fall forward, the smirk coming off her face instantly.
Spider-Man walked forward and went to pick up the bag she was carrying but he wasn't able to react quickly enough and Black cat managed to sweep his legs and bring him to the floor. She rolled over and sat firmly on his stomach as she noticed his lenses widen as she did so. She smiled down at him sweetly and put her hands on her hips.
"You are super cute in that skin-tight costume you know that? If I wasn't in such a rush, I would pull up a deck chair and enjoy the view. So I gotta run. " Spider-Man watched as she was about to stand up but instead of standing she rolled his mask up to expose his lips and leaned down, planting hers on his, giving him a lingering kiss. He felt his cheeks go red under the mask.
"See you around Spider." She whispered against his lips and dropped something into his chest and darted away. He went to chase her again but the thing in his chest exploded causing smoke to go everywhere. Once the smoke cleared he looked around but couldn't see her anywhere, she was gone.
End Of Flashback.
Felicia sighed as she leaned back into her chair, getting even more comfortable than before. She stared up into the night sky and thanked the heavens above for finally having someone who has changed her for the better. No matter what happened in the battle against Norman, she was going to make sure Peter made it out of it alive, even if it cost her own life.
Manhattan Cemetery
Peter stood in front of the graves of his beloved Aunt and Uncle, he wanted to stop by and talk to them for a little bit. He smiled as he saw fresh flowers on the graves.
"Felicia or MJ must have been by to see you guys huh?" Peter whispered as he was still smiling. He leaned down and touched his uncle's grave as he began to think about all their times together, the times that made him into the man he is today.
"Thank you for always believing in me Uncle Ben, the way you saw good in everyone was always such a bright spot in everyone's lives. You gave people hope and I could really use that hope now more than ever. The city has another big threat, one I am not sure I can beat. I just know that I will give it my best. A part of me is every torn because I really don't want to hurt Mr. Osborn, he is one of my best friends dad's and I don't want Harry to be left without a father because he ended up in jail. I don't know what to do. I know he has done wrong but I don't know if I can beat him."
Peter looked at his Uncle's grave and tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall. He slowly turned his attention to his Aunt May's grave and placed his hand on it.
"I know you are both so proud of me, I work hard every day to make you proud. I am sorry MJ and I didn't work out Aunt May but Felicia and I have something special and I am thankful MJ saw that in the end. Honestly, I believe Felicia is the one you know? She is amazing and she is always there for me, I couldn't ask for a better person. I am afraid that she won't make it out of this final battle you know? I love her so much but just thinking about it is giving me so much anxiety. I can't help thinking about it. I don't want her to get hurt because if she died, I would die with her because she is my strength, I would have fallen apart over the last 6 months or so if it wasn't for her. I would take a bullet for her, I would do anything for her.
Peter didn't care anymore, he allowed the tears to fall and he sat with his head bowed as a lot of pain and anguish poured from his body and mind. He looked at both graves again and said softly.
"I promise I will do everything I can to make sure Felicia and MJ survive, I can't lose either of them." He slowly walked away from the grave unaware that in the shadows someone was watching him, a thoughtful look on their face.
Felicia's Apartment.
Peter gently landed on the balcony and was shocked to see Felicia lounging in one of her chairs asleep. He leaned down by her side and wiped some hair out of her face. He gently ran his hand over her cheek and flinched as he felt how cold she was. As gently as he could, he picked her up bridal style into his arms and carried her into her sitting room, gently placing her on the couch. He smiled as he sat next to her, and flipped the tv on so he could begin watching the news. It was rather quiet tonight and no crimes had been reported on his police scanner or the news. He looked to his side and saw Felicia begin to wake up.
Felicia opened her eyes and looked around wondering how she got inside, she yawned as she saw that the TV was on and turned to see Peter smiling at her. She gave him a tired smile and fell into his arms as soon as he opened them. She rested her head against his chest and sighed happily as she listened to his steady heartbeat. She almost purred as she felt his hand start to run through her blonde locks.
"Why did I find you sleeping outside when I got back?" Peter asked amused as he looked down at her face against his chest. She looked up slightly and met his eyes with a sheepish smile.
"I was just tired I guess and forgot to come inside. "
"Good thing I showed up when I did, you were freezing Felicia," Peter said softly and ran his hand over her cheek.
"My hero" Felicia teased as she kissed his chin softly before pulling his lips to hers. "Mmm I missed these lips today" She practically purred against him, causing him to let out a groan.
"Nice to see you missed me as much I missed you. " Peter broke the kiss and smiled at her.
"I always miss you, you are my boyfriend after all. " Felicia said with a blush creeping up her cheeks.
"A fact I am very much proud of. " Peter paused and looked at her softly. " I was visiting my aunt and uncle tonight, I wanted to see them before the fight with Norman. "
"Are you okay?" Felicia asked softly in return.
"Yeah I am just scared that I might lose you, I couldn't live with myself If that were to happen. "Peter looked into her eyes as he finished talking.
"You won't lose me, I am not going anywhere. I have waited for you to be mine for so long that I am not going to let the ex-mayor and police captain separate us. I love you too much to ever let anyone truly hurt you. " Peter saw the passion in Felicia's eyes and kissed her lips softly.
" I love you too, I will always love you no matter what happens in this fight. " Peter was pulled into another deep kiss by Felicia, both pouring all the love they could into it.
A very deep chapter in my opinion and a whole chapter dedicated to Peter and Felicia. I have wanted to do this for a while but could never find the perfect place for it. Now I hope you enjoyed it, It was tough to write this. The ending is approaching and chapters are going to get slightly loner. Each will be pushing 2-3K words. Do you like the Peter and Felicia centric chapters? Please let me know by reviewing. Until next time guys, I will see you soon.
