AN: Wooooooo! I'm back. So it's been a few...okay, several months. I was wrapped up in a work project that took three months. Then I had to draft up the story boards for a new arc. This one will be a little more Felicia/Black Cat focused because you all seem to love when the story focuses more on her, so I'm gonna give writing from her point of view a try. Hopefully this will also satisfy some of the things some of you have been asking to see. Looking forward to see what you all think.

Chapter 1

The past few months had been wonderful. Felicia and Peter had moved into Felicia's penthouse. The two grew closer and found new thing to love about each other. Peter loved the way that Felicia's bathroom smelt after she shower, with the full aroma of her morning ritual of hygiene and makeup. Felicia loved the way that Peter kept all of his personal belongings organized, minus his cloths (she introduced him to the value of a hamper for that problem). Peter loved the way Felicia kept the kitchen stocked with food from all over the world. Felicia loved that Peter was able to fix all the little deficiencies in her home with no problem.

They also discovered new problems that they needed to overcome. Felicia kept to the regular daytime schedule of the professional woman that she was. Up every day at a reasonable hour, light workout, light breakfast, prepare for work, go to work, come home at night before dinner, eat, and then finish the night with whatever suited her hobbies, be it a party, T.V. or super hero work. Peter slept when he was tired, worked when the desire and innovation struck him, and had no real hobbies to speak of unless it related to super hero work or science. The difference in day to day lifestyle created some conflicting living conditions, and they wound up spending more of their time coming up with compromises as opposed to having romantic moments together. They did have more time together though, as a normal couple, something they both valued.

Felicia reflected on the new stage of their relationship as she waited at a café for a friend. She decided that she loved the new stage that she had reached with Peter. They were two different personalities, which could be a problem at times as far as getting together for personal time, but they had aligned their moral compasses. To that end, because they were different, they always came up with different solutions to problems. Be it personal, professional, or hero related.

The sex was still good to.

Felicia sipped her espresso and red a fashion magazine. There was a regular column in the magazine about club and casual fashion from none other than Peter's former girlfriend Mary Jane Watson. MJ had done well for herself. She owned one of the hottest clubs in New York and in Chicago. From what Felicia had heard, the insurance costs were insane, but worth it with the amount of super hero related damage they took.

MJ's article was actually very good from Felicia's point of view as a reader. The main focus was on the lighting and how to build your outfit to make the most of it. Club lighting varied from night to night as well as club to club. Felicia was actually making mental notes for how to plan her wardrobe in the future. As a female though, Felicia hated that Peter's ex knew how to look just as good as she did…except in skintight, black leather. Black Cat was the only one who wore it was good as she did. Blade didn't do the skintight part, and Ghost Rider didn't fill out his suit as nicely as she did hers.

Felicia finished up the article and set down the magazine. She looked to the door to see the woman that she was waiting for. Emma Frost, The White Queen, stepped into the café. Emma spent her time nowadays splitting her time between San Francisco and New York. She worked as a teacher in both locations, helping to deal with education in the traditional sense, and helping to train young mutants use their powers.

"Emma!" Felicia said loudly while waving to draw her attention.

Emma was dressed in a tight white button-down shirt and a pair of white jeans. Felicia figured that the jeans were probably custom made in Italy by a private tailor, because who the hell sold white jeans. The outfit clashed in a supplementary manner to Felicia professional black suit with blue blouse. The waitress came over and took Emma's order.

"How are you Felicia?" Emma asked eagerly. "We haven't talked in months."

"Fantastic. I moved in with Peter." Felicia explained.

"Ooooooh. How's that?"

"More or less the same as before. Due to the work schedules, we don't really have a whole lot more time together. But it gives us the opportunity at least." Felicia said apprehensively.

"C'mon. He doesn't leave cloths and plates everywhere? Play AC/DC too loud? He has to have some annoying habit."

"Weeeeeell…he has converted the study into his personal lab. So much clutter in there." Felicia didn't think that any of Peter's lifestyle habits, or additions to the apartment were annoying. She had a good idea of what he was like just spending the night over at his place. She had grown accustomed to how he set up his living space.

"Hmmmm." Emma mused. "Sound like you were reaching for that one, or like your trying to hide something. You didn't discover some sort of weird and disgusting porn collection, did you?"

"Haha." Felicia laughed softly. "God no. I actually tried floating the idea of a threesome with him a couple months ago. He didn't go for it. The sex has actually been very vanilla the since we moved in." Felicia said a little disappointed. "Might need to change that up a bit."

"Really? Who did you think would join you two in that particular scenario?" Emma asked with great interest.

"Captain Marvel, Spider-Woman…you." Felicia said as she hid her face form her friend with her hand.

"Well well well. That could be an interesting experience." Emma said smiling slightly at the idea.

Felicia laughed again. "He had the greatest reservations about you actually. Said he didn't want a telepath poking around in his head, learning his secrets.

"As smart as your boyfriend is, he missed a few of the obvious thing. One, I know your identity, and I know your secret identity. So I know Spider-Man is Peter. Two, were friends, so we share all the gossip in our lives." Emma explained.

"Well it's nice to know you would have gone along with it."

The waitress came with Emma's coffee. Emma took a quick sip of it and smirked pleasantly. "This is good. Glad you told me to meet here."

"The sign says they get their beans from Ethiopia." Felicia said.

"Might have to see about getting a bulk order to take back. There is waaaay to many Starbucks on the west coast, and the school refuses to get better coffee."

"The coffee shop at the insurance company may not be the best, but it's either loaded with the highest legal amount of caffeine, or spiked with some kind of stim, 'cause that stuff seems designed for lawyers working 180 hours a week." Felicia joked, but only slightly.

Emma smiled. "How is the new job by the way?"

"Fantastic! I get paid more to do the same job, they mostly keep me in the estate part of the insurance section. The cataloging is boring, but the actual investigation part is waay better. Get to do cool PI type stuff with surveillance, and tailing. I get to see not just art, but fancy cars, nice places, jewelry, and the occasional…well…eclectic item." Felicia explained with excitement.

"Eclectic?" Emma was clearly confused.

"You know. Morbid stuff that people hold onto for sentimental value. Last week I had to investigate a stolen good tooth. Apparently it belonged to the holders great-grandfather who pulled it out of his mouth and hid it in his rectum while escaping Germany." Felicia regaled. Her favorite part of her job was hearing about the provenance of the stuff that she was looking at. Sometimes they were boing stories about the item being a family heirloom that has been around forever, sometimes stuff that was acquired from an auction, sometime a guy financed an expedition to go into the deepest parts of the jungle or desert to find treasure.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Felicia and Emma talked for another half hour about fashion, current events, the school. All in all, they got along very well, but that's because they had so much on common. A checkered past, with a taste for sophisticated and expensive things. Not many other women had similar experiences. They had both concluded that it was important to have friends like each other.

Felicia check her watch. "It was great to see you again Emma, but I have to get to work."

"It was great to see you to. I'll be in town for a few weeks, so let me know when you have time." Emma said brightly. "and if you convince Peter to have me as a guest." She finished darkly, bring up what they talked about earlier.

"Mmmm. I will definitely call you in that instance." Felicia said as she got up to leave for work.
