"What do you mean, he's been 'kidnapped?!'" Carol said fiercely towards the snowy-haired woman in a black catsuit lined with fur.
"I told you," The Black Cat replied sternly as Carol faced her down. "That Octavious guy came out of nowhere and snatched him. Way to quickly for either of us to react. And he had backup." she finished as Carol reached for the intercom.
"All available Avengers to the lobby. We've got a problem," she said clearly. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention," she continued, "I'll drop you off at the precinct before..."
"Oh hell no," Black Cat replied firmly as Jessica and Captain America burst into the lobby. "Thing is, I'm the one who knows which direction they went. And where we where at the time. So if you wanna find him bitch, you're gonna have to bring me along." The two women stared long and hard at one another.
"What happened?" Jessica asked, as she pulled on the final piece to her costume and took note of the visitor. "Hang on, isn't that...?"
"Black Cat," Carol spat bitterly. "Spidey's been kidnapped by Octavious, according to her."
"Where?" Captain America stated clearly as he pressed himself in between Carol and Black Cat. "Where did they take him?"
"As I was just explaining to mega-implants here," Black Cat sniffed indifferently towards the first Avenger, "I don't know, stripes. All I know is the direction they went in. If you want..." Carol had had enough, she picked the cat burglar up with one hand by the throat and slammed her into the wall.
"Are you sure that's all you know?" Carol glowered fiercely as she cocked her free hand back and charged it with energy. "I can go toe to toe with Iron Man in a strait-up brawl. Beating you would take less time than a blink."
"Stand down, Ms Marvel," Captain America barked hoarsely. Reluctantly, Carol obliged and released Black Cat's throat.
"So that's the trick, is it?" the burglar smiled wickedly, "give out rough love and he'll roll over? I like your style."
"One more word outta you and I'll..." Carol began.
"Enough," Captain America said as he forced her back. "In return for your assistance in the recovery of Spider-man," Captain America continued, "I will stand as a witness on your behalf and attempt to earn you amnesty. Do we have a deal?"
"We have a deal," The Black Cat replied with a sly wink aimed at Carol.

"Wakey wakey, Spider!" a voice taunted from the darkness, forcing Peter to open his eyes. And he was greeted by the disgusting sight of Otto Octavious leering at him.
"Phew, Ock, it's called a breath mint." Peter said as he leaned away from the foul face. "You should try one sometime. And maybe wash your trench-coat too, once in a while."
"Always the jester, aren't you?" Octavious gleamed wickedly as his tentacles flicked and swished behind him. "You're so lucky this time bug...My employer has forbidden me and my friends from killing you."
"Your 'friends'?" Peter jested with a wry smile, "like a book club or something? 'Super-villains anonymous?' or how about..." He was cut off by Octavious slamming one of his tentacles into Peter's face.
"But I can still make you squeal..." Octavious smiled wickedly as he backed away, revealing a roomful of super-villains. "Come and have at him, boys!"
"Oh...lets see," Peter smirked as the group edged closer and closer. "Hey Sandy. Hey Hydro-man, still sleeping with Marko's wife? Oh, hi Hobbie! Still being a rip-off of..." He continued to smile, even as they surrounded him threateningly.
"Take his mask off!" Sandman growled.
"Boss says she want's to do it," Kraven the hunter replied as he withdrew a knife from his belt and began to sharpen it. "And she's paid me enough to not ask questions."
"Oh hey, Gaston!" Peter remarked as he leaned his head to face Kraven's. "Real long time no see. How're things in prison going?"
"You still sure we can't kill him?" Hydro-man grunted aggressively.
"Whoever got us out has lots of pull," Octavious said with a hint of a growl in his voice. "I'd hate to have them as an enemy. So some torture will have to suffice." He smiled wickedly, "hopefully, she'll hear him scream. Dillion, you're up."
"AAAGGGGGHHHH!" Peter screamed as volts of electricity surged through his body, courtesy of Max Dillion, Electro. Brief periods of respite interluded long periods of excruciating pain. And every shock was more painful than the last one. Soon, he was on the verge of blacking out.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Carol asked as she examined pieces of wreckage. Her military background confirmed that some type of ballistic missile had impacted the ground.
"As sure as I am that you've had surgery," Black Cat scoffed indifferently.
"Look who's talking," Jessica replied, coming to Carol's aid and side with a piece of fabric. "I found this by what looks like a footprint of some sorts." Carol took the piece of red material, recognizing it immediately.
"It's his," she said as she stood up and stretched, "I'm sure of it. which way do the tracks lead?"
"That way," Captain America said as he pointed. "Iron Man got a message out to all precincts. And Cage and Fist have got their eyes out on the street."
"Meanwhile," Carol said as she hovered into the night air, "we go this way until we find him."
"Agreed," Captain America replied, "if we split up, we can cover more ground. I'll take Black Cat on the ground. You two take to the skies. Keep in radio contact."

"Itsy bitsy spider, can't take a bout of pain..." Electro gloated as he blasted Peter again. "Now Electro's gonna make him squeal like a pig!"
"Enough!" a powerful voice called out from the entrance. "Let him go," the powerful figure said as it approached and lightning struck in the background. "Step away from him and I'll go easy on you." The figure finished as Peter recognized the voice.
"Watch out!" he shouted to Ms Marvel, "It's a trap!" He finished as Rhino thundered out from the shadows and attempted to broadside Carol, who flew into the air and let him crash into a wall as Vulture swooped in for a strike that never got close to hitting, as Carol grabbed him by the wing and threw him into Kraven as Electro shot into the air.
"Now I'm gonna give you a real taste of power!" Dillion screamed as he shot a mighty bolt of electricity forwards, towards the waiting Carol, who didn't move at all. Instead, she absorbed the energy beam, just like before. She continued to absorb it as she flew forwards, towards the source. He watched as she grabbed him by the throat.
"Thanks for the boost," she smiled before tossing him into and through a wall. Now only Sandman, Hydro-man and Octavious where left standing. Peter took note of the simmering glow of energy that emitted from her body, creating a stunning aura around an already stunning form. Her hair sparked as it flew in the wind and her eyes possessed an unearthly glow.
"Now!" Octavious screamed as Peter managed to breakthrough his restraints. Knowing Carol was more than capable of handling the shape-shifting goons, Peter went strait for Octavious. He ducked under two swinging tentacles and leaped over the other two as a mighty explosion erupted from behind.
Sand and water sprayed the area, informing Peter of the fate two of his rogues gallery members had suffered as Peter landed a heavy punch to Octavious' jaw. The blow landed cleanly, knocking the ageing man out cold before Peter turned to face Ms Marvel. She was to quick for him, crossing the distance between them in the time it took him to blink. As swift as a shadow, she ripped his mask off and pressed her lips onto his.
He was helpless to stop her as she wrapped an arm around him and shot into the air, their lips still locked in an embrace. Together, they sailed through the cold night air. A part of him wondered where they where going, but the other part was preoccupied by her hand masterfully rubbing up and down his thigh. Oh god... his thought trailed off as he felt Carol slow their pace before coming to a complete stop. His feet hit a gravel rooftop, but still they did not break the embrace, not even as Carol opened the access panel that led to his apartment.
He pulled back from the embrace just long enough to speak. "How'd you find me?" he asked.
"I looked," she said before pushing him against a wall and tearing his somewhat tattered uniform off. She pinned him to the wall with one hand as she seductively removed the black and yellow one-piece. "God I've missed you so much!" she said, as she tore him from the wall and literally threw him onto the bed.
"Who Carol, it's only been a few hours! Not like we haven't seen each other in..." she stifled him by pressing his jaw closed with her thumb as her free hand roamed his body with expertise. She traced a finger down his chest and towards his pelvic region, and he squirmed slightly as she tore his pants free.
"Just like old times isn't it?" Carol whispered seductively as she drove her lips into his neck with vigour.
"Not that..ohhhh," he moaned as she reached a particularly sensitive part of his neck, "...don't appreciate the aaaaatention but, I'm still...don't exactly soak up electricity like you do...owww." He continued as she rubbed him all over, planting little kisses as she did so.

"Jess!" Carol called out to her friend as a warehouse with a hole in the roof came into view. Together, both super-powered women flew downwards and set their feet on solid ground. Immediately Carol's eyes fell on the chair that lay on it's side in the middle of the room. She ran to it, checking for any signs of Peter Parker.
There where none. Only scorch marks from high-voltage electricity.
"Back for more?" a voice said from the shadows.
"Octavious!" Carol shouted bitterly, recognizing the voice from the news, "where is Spider-man?"
"You should know," Otto Octavious said as he stepped out of the shadows, sporting several major injuries. "You already took him, remember? Not that it matters. We're prepared this time! Bench! Marko!" Carol looked down as water began to lap at her feet. She tried to fly upwards, but found herself stuck in a mud-like substance that was creeping up her body. "I admit, you caught us unprepared earlier. We where to focused on torturing Spider-man. Only for sport, of course. Our employer has a special interest in him for some reason."
"I thought you where the ringleader of Spidey's rogues gallery!" Jess taunted from where she stood, attempting to fly out like Carol was. "Not some faceless person's little bitch!"
"Octavious is no one's bitch!" he growled menacingly, "the arrangement allowed me to have my vengeance!"
"And yet," Carol snorted as the mud reached her hips, "you say I took him before you killed him!"
"Whoever said my revenge on spider-man was complete?" Octavious grinned. "After all, he was not the one responsible for my most recent incarceration. You where. So watching you drown in mud will be most...satisfactory. Not to mention your company."
"Ms marvel, fry him," Jessica sneered.
"One attempted shot," a second voice said from the hole in the roof. "And Spider-woman dies, as I'm not sure she can absorb electricity." Electro sneered from his vantage point, "I do love killing superheroes. But admittedly, I'd prefer them to be able to fight back."
"Then you're just gonna love me!" a female newcomer's voice said as a black-clad form leaped out of the shadows and plunged it's fists right into Electro's body before the super-villain could react. She's almost as faast as he is, Carol remarked internally as she watched the figure dance around the follow-up attacks. And nimble. There's no way someone other than Peter could doge blows like that. Sure, I can, just not by bending like she does. The mysterious figure leaped high into the air and delivered a mighty kick to Electro's abdomen. She followed up this manoeuvre by launching twin strands of what looked like webbing towards Carol and Jess. With a mighty pull, the two heroes came free, and the mud began to recede.
"Where the hell are they going?" Jessica asked as she pointed to the retreating mass.
"They know they're outmatched," Carol replied, "as is Octavious," she growled as she turned to face the criminal mastermind, only to find that he had escaped. Forcing Carol to confront the mystery hero. "Who the hell are you?" she asked impatiently.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," the masked hero replied swiftly as she assumed a crouching position. Again, with the similarities...
"Try me," Carol snorted as she raised her fists, "I'm on a team with a WWII legend and a Norse deity. I doubt anything could surprise me right now."
"Try his apartment. And does this do enough to surprise you?" the black-clad figure replied before slipping into the ground without a sound.
"Who the hell was that?" Jessica said as she rubbed her head. "And more importantly, why didn't you tell me you've been to his...oh wait, you did tell me...or he did anyway. Sort of. And again, who the hell was that?"
"I have no idea," Carol said as she went skyward. "But I'll go check his place. You rendezvous with Cap."

"Ow! Carol, my arm!" Peter grimaced as she gripped his appendage rather tightly. "I may Ow! Have the durability of a Ouch! Spider, but that's AGGHHH! stop!"
"Ohh!" she moaned with pleasure as he writhed beneath her. "Come on, Peter! It's just like old times! Do it!" she said as she began grinding her hips against his thigh.
"I don't know what you're ack! Talking about!" He replied as he continued to struggle to escape her vice-like grip. "we've ack! Never even gone on a real da...ow! Aside from this afternoon and...seriously, get off!" he said as she continued to grind against his thigh, moaning with pleasure.
"I...just...need..." Carol began to pant as she threw her head back in ecstasy. He felt her muscles weaken, and he took the oppertunity.
"GET OFF!" he shouted as he moved his legs out from underneath her and kicked Carol away with as much strength as he dared use, sending her crashing into the wall. Her body made a dull thump as she bounced off the wall and hit the floor. He winced as he saw the dent she had made, noting that the neighbours had probably heard it. But his attention was quickly diverted when he saw the look in her eyes. It was one of pure animal attraction. With one, swift motion, she bounded from the floor to on-top of him. If he had been pinned before, he didn't have a word for what he was experiencing.
He felt as though a truck was on top of him, as Carol pounded away at every fibre of his being. She forcefully grabbed his hands and rubbed her body up and down. Until something stopped her.
A burst of energy ripped Carol's body off of his, and Peter turned to face it's source. His saviour was not to be expected.
"Which one of you is the clone?" he asked as he glanced from one Carol Danvers to the other as he got to his feet and gathered what remained of his pants. "The rapist or the saviour? Because I..." A bright flash filled his eyes, and when his vision returned, only one, fully clothed Carol Danvers remained.
"Where the hell did you go!" she roared menacingly, "You where kidnapped, and now I find you doing it with my doppelganger?"
"Hey, I thought it was you who saved me," He replied hastily, more aware than ever of how outmatched he was. "You pulled me out of..."
"I was searching high and low for you throughout the city!" Carol shouted as she pointed at him mercilessly. "Forced to work with that cat-whore and I find you making love with..."
"Love?" he replied, "rape. I couldn't get away! You know damn well you're stronger than me. What I want to know is why you've got a clone running around..."
"I don't have a clone," Carol snapped bitterly.
"Could've fooled me!" he replied as the phone rang, and he moved to pick it up.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"GET OFF!" those two words rang out in her ears as her feet touched down on the roof of his apartment. She took note of the access hatch being left open as she slid inside. Sloppy, she thought, not like him to... she cut her train of thought short as she entered his room, only to find Peter buried under a woman with strikingly familiar features. Both of them where close to being completely naked.
Venting her anger, she blasted the woman off of Peter, and managed to get a good look at her face. Indeed, it was her own.
"Which one of you is the clone?" Peter shouted as he looked about the room.
"Where the hell did you go!" Carol shouted angrily, "you where kidnapped, and now I find you doing it with my doppelganger?"
"Hey, I thought it was you who saved me!" he replied, "you pulled me out of..."
"I searched high and low for you," Carol fumed, "forced to work with that cat-whore and now I find you making love with..."
"Love?" he replied, "rape. I couldn't get away! You know damn well you're stronger than me. What I want to know is why you've got a clone running around..."
"I don't have a clone," she replied, meanwhile acknowledging his words as the truth as his phone began to ring.
"Could've fooled me," he replied as he picked up the nearest handset. "Hello?" he said, and seconds later, the phone fell out of his hand and onto the floor as tears swelled up in his eyes. Despite her earlier rage that had been aimed at him, she calmly sat next to him, and he rested his head against her shoulder.
