Qwerty: Yes that is odd, but I do appreciate people giving me idea, to
me it means they like the fic but I still have to follow my own
guidelines when writing so I can't do everything people ask, I wish I
could though.
The Uncanny R-Man: Not sure about the squad thing seeing as how they see Peter as a 'normal' human, Scott and Emma would never go for it and thanks for the help.
Karakin: I try and update whenever I can, but I do work on other stories plus sometimes I focus on other things too, but I try.
NctrnlBst: Like I've said before I got lots of free time, and as for the turn about, that was my thinking exactly about it.
celtcath74: I think Piage is under eighteen, because when they started out Bobby made a comment like, "15 will get you 20", so I think she's not of legal age, which is why you don't see them that close in the comics.
Ldypebsaby: Oh yeah, especially when a few of the mutants learn that Peter once dated the infamous Black Cat.
Supergirlhv: Oh yes it's Blackcat alright.
c-wolf: Thanks, glad you like it so far.
The Cure: Thanks, I'll try and keep it going as long as I can think up stuff or it.
Red Witch: Tell me about it, but that's one of the reasons he's such a fascinating character to me.
THE NEW TEACHER
CHAPTER 28: BAD LUCK CROSSING A BLACK CAT
Felicia Hardy had just got back into the penthouse that she had for her stay in New York still in her Black Cat suit. She had a few scratches and cuts that needed her attention. She was just in New York on a case for her detective agency looking into the disappearance of a girl and somehow ended up in the middle of a mob war.
Apparently after she rescued the girl the ones that had held her were not too pleased and hired someone to take her out. As she finished patching herself up she knew she needed help and there was only one man in New York that she could turn to.
She dialed the number hoping he was home at the moment. When the phone picked up she got a brief moment of hope. "Parker residence." She heard Mary Jane Watson Parker answer the phone. Even though they had put their dislike for each other away she still felt a slight pain that she had lost Peter to this woman, but she had no one to blame but herself.
"Hello?" She heard from the other line, then she realized that she had zoned out of there for a second.
"MJ, this is Felicia." She said. "Look I'm in town and well...I need help...is Peter in?"
"Are you okay? Is it bad?" MJ asked. She truly was concerned for the other woman.
"So far it's nothing much, but let's just say that I angered a few of New York's less then honest citizens and they hired some muscle to take me out." She said laying down on the queen size bed resting her weary body.
"Sorry he's not here, he's teaching." MJ said over the line.
Felicia was silent for a moment wondering if she had heard MJ right. "He's what?"
XAVIER INSTITUTE
It was a couple of hours later as she exited her rental car looking at the estate. "Only you Peter, only you would teach in a mutant school filled with who knows how many telepaths and who knows what else." She said shaking her head and smiling at what Peter had gotten himself into.
She pressed the buzzer by the gates. "Can I help you?" Asked a male voice.
"I'm here to see Peter, Peter Parker." She said. "It's urgent." She waited for a minute then she heard the gate open. She got back in her car and drove to the front. She parked and got out and went to the front door.
It opened and found herself looking at a man made entirely out of ice. When Bobby was told to see someone asking for Peter at the front door by Scott he had no idea that when he opened the door one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen would be there.
She was dressed to kill in a black leather pants and a dark long sleeve shirt on. She had long white hair, in incredible shape and was just stunning. He hadn't noticed that his jaw had dropped until she smirked and closed it for him with her index finger. "I take it your to escort me to Peter then?" She said in a silky voice.
Bobby nodded seeing that he lost all ability to talk for the moment. He started to lead the way down the hall. She didn't say anything so after he recovered enough he decided to lay on the Bobby charm as he liked to call it. "So how do you know Peter?" He casually asked.
Felicia could tell what he was up to and decided to give him something. "Me and Peter are friends." She said then after a couple of seconds she added something else. "That and before that we dated."
Bobby walked right into a wall at that and rubbed his head. 'What the hell is that man's secret?' How can he get all these beautiful woman in his life?' He thought while rubbing his forehead.
Felicia tried to hide a smile with her hand. "I would normally say you should put some ice on that but I think you already got that covered." She said trying not to laugh. Bobby muttered something under his breath about his lack of luck in life and they moved on.
Bobby stopped her outside a door. "This is where he's teaching, it's the last class of the day so he should be done in about ten minutes, but you should wait outside. Scott and Emma wouldn't like it if people dropped by all the time disrupting classes all the time."
She shrugged and stretched and leaned against the wall so she could listen in. Bobby thought she moved kind of cat-like and for the last little while he was wondering why she seemed familiar. At the bell Felicia opened the door immediately before Bobby could say otherwise.
Peter was just finishing up when she came in. "Okay remember to read chapter five for tomorrow and-Felecia!?" At the surprised of their teacher all the students looked at the woman walking in with Bobby right behind her.
She came up to him smiling. "You know Pete, out of all the things I thought you would do with your life teaching was not one of them."
"Not that I'm angry or anything, but what are you doing here and how did you find out about this?" He asked her.
She leaned in close. "Got a little problem and you're the only person I could call, as for the second question, MJ told me."
Peter knew it had to be serious if MJ told her where to find him and that she came in person. Then he noticed all the students looking at him. "Don't you all have somewhere to be?" Many of the students started to leave, although slightly reluctantly. HE turned to Bobby. "Thanks for showing her the way I'll take it from here." Bobby looked like he wanted to ask something but decided against it and walked off.
While Peter and Felecia talked Bobby walked up to Kitty. "Hey Drake what's new?" She asked.
"Oh nothing, just showing Peter's ex-girlfriend where he was." He said shrugging his shoulders.
"Oh that's-WHAT?" Kitty said drawing the attention of several students. Then Peter and Felicia walked out of the classroom and Kitty looked at her trying to remember who that was. "Hey Peter!" She called over.
She walked up to him. "So who's your friend?" She asked looking at her.
"Oh Kitty Pryde, meet an old friend of mine, Felicia Hardy." Peter said to her. Felicia shook her hand and then it came to her.
"You're the Black Cat!" Kitty said when she finally realized why her name and face seemed so familiar. Bobby's mouth had dropped at that when he realized that she was right. Several of the students also were around several from Peter's last class who were curious as to who she was.
Felecia smiled at her. "If your worried that I'm casing the place I gave that up years ago, I'm working on a more legitimate line of work now."
Bobby looked to Peter in a whole new light. "Dude you dated the Black Cat? What is your secret man?"
Peter shot Felecia a look and she just gave him her best innocent 'who me?' look herself. Peter however had seen that look too many times to know it was fake. "Anyway we got to be going don't we?" He said to her.
"Yes your right." Then she turned to face Kitty and Bobby. "Nice meeting you two oh and watch out for anymore walls frosty." Everyone gave a confused look at Bobby while he just looked embarrassed.
When they made it to her car and were driving back to New York Peter felt secure enough to talk openly to her without worrying that anyone was listening in. "So what's going on? I knew it has to be bad or you wouldn't go to all this trouble."
She sighed and told him all about the assignment and about the hired killer after her. "I'm not sure who she is but she's strong as hell and is one nasty piece of work."
"Did you get a name, maybe I know her?"
She thought about it. "Yeah she called herself Delilah." She caught his reaction to the name. "So you know her?"
He nodded grimly. "Yeah I've met her a few times, your lucky to be alive. Although I thought she was still in jail."
"Guess she got out."
"Somehow I doubt it was for good behavior." He told her.
After a few minutes of silence she just had to ask him. "So...what's it like teaching and isn't it a little dangerous teaching in a place where who knows how many telepaths are walking?"
Peter shrugged. "I didn't know it was Xavier's until I went there for an interview and I managed to get a mental shield in put from Xavier also."
"So no one knows your secret?" She asked curiously at him. Peter shuffled a little uncomfortably in his seat. "Someone knows don't they?" She exclaimed.
"Well...Logan already knew from awhile back and Kitty kind of...walked in on me while I was changing." He admitted a little sheepishly. "But she's manage to keep her mouth shut though."
After a few seconds she burst into laughter. "Oh God Peter, what is it with you? I think your losing your touch if you can be surprised by that girl."
"Hey!" Peter said slightly offended. "That girl can walk through walls just so you know, it's not like I had much warning."
That only made her laugh even harder. "I will say this Peter, you live the most interesting life I know."
"Some days 'interesting' doesn't begin to describe it." He said to her as they made their way back to the city and to her room so they could both change for what was to come.
