Chapter 9: A Game of Cat and Spider
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter, lot of you quite enjoyed Catwoman's new interest in Spidey well now you get to see the side of Catwoman you're all familiar with. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been a few days since the encounter with Kraven and things were back to normal or normal as they could get.
At Metropolis High Jaden opens his locker when Zack comes over and shuts it in his face.
"Hey Cooper, you know what time it is?" He smirks.
"Uh about 4: 15." Jaden said fearing he already knew the real answer.
"Wrong. It's Locker Knocking time." Zack said about to grab him when he feels a tap on his shoulder. Turning around he saw Lois behind him.
"Hi there Lois Lane, and I would like to interview you for my football highlight reel." Lois said.
"Wow really? Sure j-just let me get myself ready for my interview." Zack said putting Jaden down and running to his locker.
"Okay quick let's hurry before he comes back." Lois said grabbing his arm and pulling down another hallway.
"Wait that interview was fake?" Jaden asks.
"Of course, it was like I would cover something as boring as Football." Lois smirks.
"You're the best." Jaden smiles.
Heading out the front they saw Kitty by the door.
"Wow normally Zack bugs you around this time." Kitty smirks.
"Well Lois came here and helped me avoid the locker." Jaden points.
"Lois? Why are you here? I thought you gave Mary Jane the day off." Kitty asks.
"Oh just wanted an excuse to see my favorite cameraman." Lois flirts causing him to blush.
"Well Lois I'm not your cameraman anymore." He said nervously.
"Hey just say the word and you're hired." Lois smiles.
Kitty narrows her eyes at how close she was trying to get to her closest friend.
"Hey Jaden, we should get going." Kitty said making a fake coughing noise to get his attention.
"Uh ok." Jaden walks over to Kitty and as they walk away Kitty looks at Lois and gives her the I'm watching you look causing her to glare.
"Oh so she wants to play like that huh? Well game on Pryde." Lois glares.
Walking Kitty back to her house she and Jaden were walking in silence.
"Hey Jaden, I've been wanting to ask you something." Kitty asks breaking the silence.
"Sure Kitty what's up?" Jaden asks.
"Well lately you and your mom seem to be acting really stressed is something going on?" Kitty asks.
Jaden sighs. "You always could see through me Kitty. The bills are coming in and we have no idea what to do."
"What's wrong?" Kitty asks.
"Dad was always the one who would take care of all the financial stuff and now I-I just have no idea what to do." Jaden frowns.
"Why didn't you tell me or the others? We could help you guys. I bet if you asked Harry he could hire someone to do all that for you easily." Kitty said.
"I didn't want you all to worry about me." Jaden said.
"Jaden how long have we known each other?" Kitty asks.
"Since we were in Middle School and I helped you with your science project." Jaden recalled.
"And I've helped you whenever you needed it and so has Miles, Mary Jane and I bet Harry could help as well. We're your friends Jaden don't shut us out." Kitty said putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks Kitty I needed that." Jaden smiles.
"Hey, it's what I do." Kitty smiles.
"I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you around." Jaden said causing Kitty to blush softly.
When she arrives back at her house Kitty waves goodbye to Jaden and heads up to her room where she sits at her desk and sees a picture of her and Jaden on her last birthday.
"Don't worry Jaden I'll always be there to help you." Kitty said looking at.
That night Spider-Man was on patrol searching for any crimes little did he know he was being watched. From the shadows a female figure follows him.
At a nearby jewelry store four criminals were breaking in and grabbing as much jewels as they can get.
"Come on we got to hurry." One said.
"Why do you have a hot date?" The criminals turn around to see Spider-Man dropping in. "You know if you have to resort to stealing jewels to impress a girl she's not worth it." Spider-Man jokes.
Pulling a gun two criminals fire at Spider-Man who jumps out of the way and hides behind some stands.
The other two pull out a crowbar and a bat. Looking to their colleagues they signal as they stop shooting.
The two of them make their way to Spidey's hiding spot, but when they turn they see Spider-Man wasn't there.
"What the—" Before he could finish two webs shot out and tied him up.
"I saw you clowns coming a mile away." Spider-Man said jumping up and delivering a punch to the other one.
Drawing their guns, they attempted to shoot him, but Spider-Man shoots two webs knocking the guns out their hands.
"Don't you know how dangerous those things are? You could really get hurt!" Spider-Man jumps in the air and delivers a kick to the gut knocking him into the wall. "And then there was one." Spider-Man turns to the last criminal who was backing away before turning around and running out the door. "Oh great another runner."
Running out the door he stops when he sees the criminal knocked to the ground. "What the?"
"You should really keep a better eye on your targets Spidey." He looks to see from out of the shadows Catwoman walked out.
"Catwoman?" Spider-Man said surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?"
"I was in the area and I thought I'd drop in and catch some bad guys." Catwoman said gesturing to the cut on the ground.
"Well I appreciate it." Spider-Man said.
A half hour later the cops came and arrested the criminals while Spider-Man and Catwoman were sitting nearby on a balcony.
"You know Spidey things can be pretty dangerous around here when you're alone." Catwoman said leaning close.
"Uh yeah I guess, but I can handle it." Spider-Man said getting a little nervous.
"Well you know things might be easier if you had someone watching your back." She said pressing her chest against his arm.
Under his mask he was bright red as he looked down and could see a bit of her cleavage.
"Uh listen I'm flattered but I don't really know if—whoa!" Spidey trips and land on his butt.
Grinning Catwoman crawls on all fours towards him. "Come on, I don't bite…much."
Spidey quickly scrambles to pick himself up and shoots a web jumping onto the rooftop.
Seeing this Catwoman licks her lips. "Meow. I love a man who plays hard to get." Taking out her whip she throws it and swings after him.
Jumping across the rooftops Spider-Man tried to lose her, but Catwoman was hot on his tail.
"Look I'm flattered, but can't we take this a little slow?!" Spider-Man asks swinging a corner.
"Not my style!" Catwoman said jumping after him.
Spider-Man lands on a roof and was about to jump to the next one when Catwoman's whips wraps around his body stopping him.
Spidey turns to see the cat girl walking towards him swaying her hips. "I've got you now."
Spidey was frozen in place as Catwoman wraps her arms around him. "Come down kitty we just met and you're already throwing yourself at me." Spider-Man said.
"You make that sound like a bad thing." She smirks.
She was about to move in when they heard a loud crashing noise. Looking over they saw a woman the size of a building throwing cars around like they were toys. This was Giganta.
"This is a stickup, way up!" She said ripping the roof off a dome.
Looking over they saw multiple people were trapped in the dome she was holding hostage.
Catwoman looks to Spider-Man and unties him. "We have to get those people to safety."
"What happened to the flirting?" Spider-Man asks.
"Being a hero always comes first. Now let's move it!"
As the police pulled up Giganta rips off a tall flag pole and uses it like a bat and smashes it into the Police cars creating giant dents.
"Hey I get you people don't respect police, but at least respect their vehicles!" Looking up they saw Spider-Man swinging in with Catwoman's whip around his leg as she let's go before tucking and rolling towards the civilians.
"Quick all of you run to the very back and stay there until the police get you." She said as everyone panicked running for their lives.
Outside Spider-Man was doing a series of jumps and flips in the air dodging all the cars Giganta was throwing at him.
"Geez big lady, big anger issues." Spidey said as Giganta threw a door at him. Ducking under it Spidey looks back up. "Can't you take a joke?"
Giganta was about to stomp on him with her foot when Catwoman wraps her whip around her leg and pulls getting Giganta's attention.
"Hey! No one squishes my Spidey!" She yells.
"You could do better." Giganta said swinging her leg throwing Catwoman into the air.
"I gotcha!" Spider-Man shoots a web making a cushion for Catwoman to land in.
Swinging the flagpole Giganta whacks Spider-Man sending him flying into a building. "Now I know how all those flies I hit with the swatter feel." Spidey groans as he drops down.
Running over Catwoman helps him up. "I don't suppose you have any ideas." She said.
"I've got one, how fast of a cat are you?" Spider-Man asks.
"Very." Catwoman said.
Giganta was stomping towards them ready to squish them like bugs when the two heroes sprint towards her. "Wow you two are really making my day easy." She smirks as swings the flagpole, but Catwoman rolls out of the way.
Flicking her whip Catwoman snaps it Giganta keeping her. Using this opening Spider-Man webbed her legs and swung around Giganta tying her up. "Now!"
Catwoman does a series of flips delivering a kick to Giganta's face sending her falling towards the ground.
"Timber!" Spider-Man yells as she crashes down.
Catwoman laughs as she walks over to him.
"You know we really do make a good team." Spider-Man said.
"That's what I was saying." She smiles.
"But if we do this save the whip for the bad guys and not for me." Spider-man said.
Catwoman giggles when she starts to walk away before throwing her whip tying him up again. "Deal, but first." She pulls up the bottom half of his mask and kisses him on the lips surprising him. "See ya round Spidey." She smiles walking away leaving him speechless.
"What the hell just happened?" Spider-Man asks himself in shock.
