Felicia was still in bed at the hospital. The Doctor had wanted her to stay one more night because of the server injuries she had obtained. The medication she had her on took away the pain of her broken ribs for several hours. She was flipping through the television and stopped at a channel broadcasting the local news.
"This is Britney Colbine of WNNN news reporting to you live for this special report. Dr. Octopus, formerly Dr. Octavius, brilliant atomic research assistant turned villain, has been spotted here. You can see the mass devastation he has left behind in the apartment, near the top of the this pent house. There are no reports of any casualties or server injury, though the police have not ruled out the very likely scenario of a kidnapping."
Felicia sat up in bed, in shock. She recognized that apartment on the news. It was Peter's apartment! Dr. Octavius had obviously learned Peter's secret identity! If this was true, Peter would be in grave danger. Was he dead or did he get away from that battle? The fact that the police did not find his body was a good sign that he had escaped, but it was obvious that Dr. Octopus was too much for him alone to handle. She knew he would object, but she had to help him, and there was only one way she would be able to do that.

Mr. Wilson Fisk was in sitting at his desk enjoying a cup of espresso. He was enjoying the peace and quiet until he watched a young girl whit snow white hair dressed in a hospital ground, limping before his desk.
"I don't mean to be rude, my darling, but how did you get past my security guards?"
She tossed a security badge onto his desk. "You should think about firing them, Fisk!"
He looked at the badge on his desk and looked up at Felicia and squinted. "Are you who I think you are?"
"Yes, Fisk! The Black Cat."
Wilson Fisk laughed mockingly at her. "You don't look so good. Perhaps you should leave your superhero way of life behind and get back to the hospital where you belong."
"I need something from you, Fisk!" She pounded on his desk. "I want you to give me super human powers, in the same way you did for Scorpion!"
"What makes you think I had anything to do with that?" Fisk grinned.
"Cut the crap, Fisk!" Felicia looked viciously at him.
"Let me try to understand this, "You accuse me of being the Kingpin of the underworld, and have tried for many years to prove it, and now you want my help? Am I missing something?"
"Like I said, Fisk, let's cut the crap. We both know you are the Kingpin. We both now that you are not clean as you say you are."
"If that's the case, then why shouldn't I have you terminated immediately for trespassing? Why should I help you get your powers, so only for you to use them to bring me down?"
"Because I make a promise to you. Do this for me, and I will never be in your hair again. I will go back to Paris, and you will never see or hear from me again."
"Very interesting, but why? Why do you desire this from me and why should I believe you?"
"Let me put it this way, Fisk," Felicia sat on the edge of his desk. "We both know you were responsible for the explosion of the New York Science Complex building. And we all know what happened because of that explosion. Either way, I do not intend to let Dr. Octopus that you were responsible, but despite that, he is going to find out sooner rather than later. When he does, he's coming after you. I want these powers to help Spider-Man bring him down once and for all. He and I are the only ones who stand in his way from you."
Wilson Fisk nodded. "You make a valid point. Okay, let's say I do have the technology to do what you ask. However, after your bout with Dr. Octopus, you and Spider-Man can never be partners again. I want this promise from you as well as you and that wretched Spider-Man will never be in my hair again!"
"I promise that he and I will never be partners again, and I promise I will never be in your hair, but I will not promise Spider-Man. However, I do give my word that I will never let Spider-Man know about this. This is for both our benefits because we both know he would object to this to no end."
"Another valid point. Fine, I can agree to this, but are you up to this. It looks like you have just walked out of the hospital a bit prematurely. This process may heal some, but not all of the damage you have obtained in battle."
"Don't worry about my condition. That's my concern only."
"Very well then, let's go get you some superhuman powers!"

Felicia was taken into a science lab where the scientists were preparing her for an internal scan to check her DNA and cell count. They also took a blood sample and was currently checking for any contamination in the blood. She had climbed into the case and leaned back in the wall, as the scientists locked her up against the back. Wilson Fisk was observing his scientist do their magic as they were nearly ready to empower her with new super human powers. One of the scientist had pulled out a vile of black liquid. On the vile was the symbol of a cat. He was about to pour it into the machine until the chief scientist stopped him. "Wait! Stop! We can not give her powers!"
"Have you found something that makes her incompatible?" Wilson Fisk asked.
"Actual, she does not need us to give her powers."
"Explain?" Felicia said through the glass shield.
"We found something in your DNA. I don't know how or what you used to give you your powers the first time, but whatever it was, it had major side affect. It mutated some of you DNA strands in your body."
"Why was this side affect not outwardly apparent?" Felicia asked as the other scientists opened the machine and began to unloose her.
"Because your good DNA still overpowers the mutated ones, so in a way, your good DNA strands has these mutated strands locked away."
"Okay, now what does this all mean?" Wilson Fisk asked.
"It means that she has the same super humans powers that she had before locked away inside of her, but to a greater extent than before. All we have to do is unlock these mutated strands and you will have all the same powers you had before but to a greater extent. Now that the powers would be natural to your body, you will be faster, stronger, and more agile than you were before. All it will take is one injection of this antidote I have into your blood stream and in minutes your powers will slowly come to you. You may have use of all of your powers with in an hour, with this antidote which will speed the process up a little. Otherwise, by not taking this antidote, your powers would not be unleashed until maybe years down the road."
Felicia could not believe what she was hearing. She has had real powers all this time, and never even knew it. No longer did she have to pretend to be a hero, but she could now use her real powers and learn to control them and learn the way of life of a hero. "Let's do it then!"
