AUTHOR'S NOTE: Not gonna lie, Spider-Man and Black Cat do have some chemistry in the game so this one-shot is dedicated to them. Although, I still stand with my otp Peter/MJ because of how loyal they are to each other.

Summary: This one shot is about the first time Peter met Felicia a couple years back. This is how I imagined the context of their "relationship" and how it led to the tension in the events of The Heist DLC. (Peter is maybe 20 or 21 years old) Rated T for suggestive themes.

Characters: Felicia Hardy/Black Cat, Spider-Man

It was another normal night in the city. It was already late. The cars became fewer and fewer in streets of New York because everyone was retiring back in their homes, getting ready to sleep after a long day.

Everyone except for Peter Parker, who was still just heading home. He had just came from the Brooklyn Library, finishing his research paper for school tomorrow. He would have finished early had he not have to fight the vulture fro stealing alien tech from the Avengers tower that afternoon. Now he was swinging from building to building as his alter-ego Spider-Man. He figured he would get home much faster and he could just enter through his bedroom window so May wouldn't notice that he missed his curfew.

The sounds of him shooting webs echoed across the almost empty city. It felt peaceful swinging around the city without the sounds of sirens, people screaming because they were in danger, or anyone that was calling for help. Peter relishes these small pleasure of being a superhero. But something caught his eye that made him stop and inspect.

"That's new." He said to himself before heading towards the action.

After carving a circle out of the glass roof, she quietly slithered inside the building. She attached herself onto the grappling hook and gently lowered herself just above the glass cases, holding the very expensive looking metals and jewelries. Then she took a can from her belt and sprayed its contents on the floor below. Instantly, the hidden laser alarm system made their appearance.

"A school locker has better security." The cat burglar remarked. She looked around and then saw what she was after. In the middle of room was a glowing diamond the size of a pocket watch. It sat on a pillow encased in big glass compartment.

The cat burglar then dropped to the ground, carefully but gracefully maneuvering herself over and under the laser beams towards the diamond. While Spider-Man watched from above.

"This is perfect!" Spider-Man says. "I stop a crime in progress, and get pictures for the Bugle of me stopping and a hot cat burglar. Score!" He takes out his camera from his satchel and sticks it onto the glass roof. The he made his way inside using the hole that the cat burglar made.

He crawled his way through until he was right above her and as she was going to cut through the glass using her talons, he dangled upside down and made his presence known.

"You know Ma'am, stealing is against the law." He said confidently.

That caught her attention in surprise but then and she replied, "Well! I do believe it's Spider-Man. Hero of New York." She blasted her grappling hook on a wall next to him and pulled herself towards him.

"Easy cat lady," Spider-Man warns, "I don't want to fight."

She smiled coyly and traced her fingers along his shoulder, "The name's Black Cat. And FYI, cats don't fight spiders." She suddenly kicked him on the chest, hurtling him against the wall.

"We just bat them around." She teases then start running away.

Recovering from the attack, he blasted a bunch of web balls at her but she easily dodged them with a series of cartwheels and somersaults. "What?" Peter thought. "So she's also a gymnast I see."

They fought around the room for while. Exchanging punches and kicks like a dance. When Black Cat grab hold onto the wall, he shot a web on her hand, making her stuck.

She didn't seem fazed at all, instead she smiled and brought in the metal talons from her high-tech gloves. She was able to cut herself free from the web.

"You've got a sweet little skill set there, Spidey." She smirked alluringly. "You want in on this gig? We can split the take."

Spider-Man chuckled, "Sounds really tempting, but then again I'd have to turn over my superhero discount card."

Black Cat smiled at his humor, "Well with this gig, you won't need the discounts. Everything is free."

"Free isn't always good." Spider-Man responds. "The economy will go bankrupt."

"Oh, please." She rolls her eyes. "Spare me the politics and reason for another day. So what do you say hot stuff? Wanna slice of the mudpie?"

"Well if it isn't already obvious, Black Cat. I'd stick with fighting crime. Besides, I'm not that kind of spider."

"Aww, give the cat a chance." She kicked him across the face when he pounced towards her. "And I'll make you into that kind of spider."

"The answer's still no." Spider-Man clenched his fist.

"Too bad." She sighs, then pushes a glass container. It fell on the ground and triggered the alarm system. Sirens started going off loudly inside the building.

"Uh-oh." Peter mumbles in realization.

"I would get out of here if I were you."

Spider-Man looked up and saw Black Cat blast another grappling hook towards the ceiling. She began raising herself up and then crawl out of the tiny window she created. "Ill see you around, Spider." She winked at him before running off.

2 years before the events of the game...

"I like watching you." Felicia thought as she admired the body laying next to her. Her eyes traced the muscles along his naked torso, the lines running up his arms, and across his features. She marveled at the fact of how young he was and to be honest, she didn't know how she felt stringing someone as young as him. She had always imagined that under the mask was someone as mature and level-headed as the one acting with the mask on.

As much as she enjoyed these moments with him. She knew she had to end it. No matter how hard she tries to persuade him, he will remain the good and self-righteous hero that New York adores. He'll only drag her down if she keeps him on her leash so she had to cut him loose.

"Oh well, It was fun while it lasted." Her mind told her. She picked up her suit on the floor and proceeded to get dressed. She looked back when she heard him stir in his sleep.

"MJ..." He mumbled, eyes still closed.

Felicia was pretty sure that was his ex's name. Although that didn't faze her. From the moment he called her sounding all depressed and slightly intoxicated. She knew she had step in and somehow take some of the pain away.

But even if Felicia knew who his heart desires, it still hurt a bit. She had strong feelings for Spider-Man. Yeah, she still calls him by his hero name because she doesn't want to get even more attached than she already is.

Still... she loves her criminal lifestyle much much more. Cat burglary was in her blood after all. Besides, she's not the type of gal to settle down and have a family. She wants to be free and continue living the way she was born to be. She finished putting her eye mask on before looking back at the bed. He was still asleep and was snoring with his mouth agape.

Felicia chuckled quietly then approached him. She pressed a kiss on his cheek and left a note that she made earlier on the nightstand. She opened the window and swung one leg out. With one last look at the him, she bid him farewell. "I'll see you around, Spider."

Then as quiet as a cat, she disappeared into the night.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

The one thing that really confuses me about Felicia having a son in "The Heist" DLC is that it doesn't makes sense at all. Think about it! If she and Peter had an affair before the events of the main game, and the game developers said that MJ and Peter have only been broken up for six months, doesn't that mean that during the events of the DLC, Felicia should be "pregnant" still. That's why I didn't believe she had a child the first time she said it, because there was no way she could have had a baby in six or seven months.

So yeah, I had to make the affair two years prior so it's more believable. Maybe Peter and MJ got into a fight and decided to take some time of from each other. And naturally, Peter would seek comfort from someone else.

Anyways, thanks again for reading. As usual, let me know what you guys think and comment below what you think I should write about next. Happy Holidays!
