A week has passed after the attack on city hall, Peter, Felicia and May are attending a funeral for Jeff. It was a rainy day on time for the funeral (because when isn't it?). Peter and Felicia stay behind so he could try to talk to Jeff's son, Miles Morales. "I'm sorry for your loss." He says to him. He doesn't say anything to Peter at first then looks to him.
"Do I know you?" Miles asks Peter.
"I'm Peter Parker, I was at city hall when...look, I know you don't know me. But I just wanted to say..."
"I know what you're going through. That's what you were gonna say, wasn't it?" Miles asks him. "Or it'll pass soon, it all gets easier with time, he's in a better place."
"I'm sorry, I'm just try-"
"Trying to help." Miles says as a tear rolls down his face. "Yeah, I know." He says and starts walking away and tries to follow when Felicia stops him.
"I think he just needs some time." She tells him as his mother approaches them.
"I'm sorry about that. I don't know what I'm gonna do with him." She says and leaves with her son.
Peter looks back to the grave.
"I'm sorry, Jeff." Peter says to the grave.
"Why is it always the good ones that end up dying on our watch?" Felicia asks, wishing she could've done something. "And I never tanked you for the save back at the event."
"You would've done the same for me." Peter says as they start leaving and contact Yuri.
"I'm busy. What's wrong?" She asks.
"Have you got someone looking for Martin Li yet?" Peter asks as they get into their costumes for parol.
"No. I can't start a manhunt on someone based off of a hunch from the Black Cat."
"But it is him, I saw him at the event." Felicia states.
"You have to get me solid evidence, then we'll talk." Yuri says and hangs up.
"Okay, So What are you thinking?" Felicia asks Peter. Not believing that Li is the one terrorizing the city.
"I'm thinking I screwed up big time. And that kid lost a father." Peter states going back to beating himself up over not being good enough.
"I've been with you too long to say you should give yourself a break, but this burden isn't just on you. It's on both of us. It's our job to keep the city safe, and we were caught off guard. Now, from what I know about Li, he did start a strange interest in a old recycling center last year. He said it was a personal matter, nothing to do with F.E.A.S.T. when May asked. That's a good of a place to start as any." Felicia tells him.
"How did you remember that if it's from last year?" Peter asks, surprised at how she is still filled with surprises.
"To be fair, MJ also reminded me earlier." Felicia confesses. "Even if he's not there, he's gotta have something that could lead us to him."
-
They make it to the center and see people guarding the place with guns.
"Looks like your hunch was right, Cat." Peter says and they start getting to work on the men.
Felicia uses her grapple to take down one of them as Peter webs one of them straight onto the wall.
Black Cat makes it to the door as Peter confronts the other men.
"Wow, a high security lock. These are some thing you should use on bank vaults, not recycling centers." Felicia states and gets to work getting it open.
"Just like the old days." She states, remembering how she used to do this for a living, as Peter makes it to her and she gets it open easily. They then walk into the building and see a ton of equipment.
"This is a lot of high tech equipment." Felicia states as she opens a container and sees some materials needed to make bombs.
Peter looks around and sees a map with marks on it. "I think I know where they're planing to attack next." He states and takes a picture of it with his mask.
"Wait, those are all Oscorp campaign offices." Felicia states seeing the map for herself. "And what is this one address?" She asks.
"And this is where Fisk's armory weapons and explosives went from his construction sites. This was no gang war, they're going after Osborn." Peter states seeing the crates of weapons and explosives.
Felicia looks and finds a plan to create some truck filled with explosives. "Okay, I have a feeling none of us knew Li as much as we thought." She tells Peter.
"We have to get out of here and tell Yuri about all of this. This one address must be their staging ground. We need to get there and see what they're hiding." Peter states as he start moving and Felicia stops to call Yuri with the news.
"Cat, make it quick. My hands are full after getting yelled at by my boss."
"Martin Li and the Demons are planning another attack. This time on Norman Osborn campaign offices.
"Are you sure? We've had a lot of fals leads this past week." Yuri asks.
"Look, I'll send you the address Spider and I just visited. You'll find all of your evidence waiting for you. And about a dozen demons either webbed or warped in rope."
"Got it. I'll get those campaign offices evacuated to be safe. But if you're wrong about this, you're helping me find a new job." Yuri states.
"Sounds like a fun night to me." Felicia jokes and Yuri hangs up and she makes her way to the address.
-
Felicia makes it just to see Peter wrapping up the last Demon.
"Looks like while I was calling the police, you were having some fun." Felicia states to him.
"Well, if you told me you were punchy today, I would've saved you some more." Peter jokes at her and they open the doors to see what they can learn.
Felicia looks and sees a clipboard with paperwork from a repair shop.
"Pale horse Ridez. That's one expensive tuneup." Felicia states as Peter spotted something bigger.
"They have a lot of bases around the city. We need to take those down soon." Peter tells her and they see there's nothing else to find and walk out to see they were hiding someone with whips filled with the same energy as their swords.
"Okay, where do they find all of these guys?" Felicia asks Peter as they work together to take him down and were on their way out when a helicopter come win and two men come down wearing full body armor and watch as they approach of the Demons.
"Safeties off." They hear one of them say.
"Okay, they're not with S.H.I.E.L.D., are they?" Felicia asks Peter.
"No, and I don't think the Avengers suddenly changed their gear." Peter tells her and sees them aim their gun at the Demons head and they decide to intervene.
"Hey! That's not how we do things downtown!" Peter yells as they take the two of them down. They watch as more of them come out of nowhere.
"Code SM And BC two." One of the men say.
"Woah, before we get to the whole beating you down, who the hell are you guys?" Peter asks them as Felicia gets her claws out again ready for another fight.
"Copy, code SM And BC two. Hold for Silver Bird." The man says as Felicia sees several disks fall form the helicopter as it opens and some short white haired female agent leaps out and starts firing her laser pistols at them and they dodge all of the blasts and they stop around the disks. They watch as she lands on one knee and has her pistols aimed at them.
"Nice entrance. Solids 8/10." Peter tells her when suddenly the disks fire electronic rope and wraps onto them and zaps them.
"9/10." Peter corrects himself as Yuri comes in a police car.
"Release them! They work with us!" Yuri states and the woman lets them go.
"Yuri, an explication, please." Peter asks her.
"This is Silver Sable. Head of Sable Internationals. A private security force. Paid for by mayor Osborn." Yuri explains to them as Felicia gets all of the feeling back in her body.
"Oh, so our beloved mayor thinks the way to solve a gun problem is with more guns and a pet army?" Felicia states questioning how Osborn was able to get into office like this.
"Next time you get in my way, I will not be so gentle." Sable states to them.
"Us get in your way?" Felicia asks getting close to Sable. "You're the one who came in ready to execute a suspect without at least getting what he knows and attacked us when we were asking who you were. How about you stay out of our way? This city is what we protect." Felicia states.
"And you've been doing a perfectly good job at destroying it." Sable says sassy at her.
"Cat, I think we shouldn't do this." Peter says backing them away from each other.
"Go. I'll explain more later." Yuri tells them and they do so as Felicia keeps her eyes on Sable, already having a problem with her.
