Chapter 27 - Felicia Part 2 (2/2)
(Present)
'Of course after that Eddie was expelled from school, all his friends left him after what he did, rightly so, charged by Felicia's family in court, and if that wasn't bad enough he later became Venom and tried to kill me. Then finally….' Peter thoughts stopped there as he wondered what happened to his old friend, how he turned out like that.
Of course after that Felicia and him become a lot closer, she was truly grateful about what happened that night. He was even invited over to her house one time so that her parents could give him their thanks.
That's why it was truly shocking when Peter tracked 'Black Cat' back to her base of operations, or better known as Felicia's house. Looking into the room she disappeared into, Peter had seen her take out her contacts, changing her blue eyes back to green and her hair miraculously changing from a platinum blond beauty to a brunet.
But that was a long time ago; Felicia had disappeared just before the Battle of New York for a holiday in Europe. Peter had heard that the family was setting up new roots down there and he didn't think she would come back.
While Peter's thoughts raced a mile a minute Felicia continued to come closer and closer. Finally when she was only 2 meters away she stopped. Her eyes moved up and down his body as she took in the form of his costume.
Felicia felt a frown come to her face as she noticed the rips and tears the costume had littered about. She could also just make out the skinny form of the person underneath as the costume didn't fill out like it used to, with muscles and definition.
”So when did you get back in town Cat?” She gave a smile. ”Only 2 days ago handsome. I wanted to see how you were doing. Even in Europe we get news about Spider-Man. Though none of it was good.” Peter quirked an eyebrow underneath the mask, and answered uncertainly. ”You were in Europe?”
”You know I was in Europe, I told you before I left Peter.” Hearing her words Peter froze and took a step back. ”How did you?” ”Hahah” She gave a bell like laugh and moved closer, though Peter kept moving back. ”Ohh you know I figured it out just before I left. After you helped me that day.”
She slightly grimaced at the words, and Peter knew which one she was talking about. ”I took a little interest in you, nerdy as you were; somehow you had a six pack and looked like a professional gymnast.” Peter was shocked under the mask. ”Wait when did you see….” ”It helps to have connections in school.” She licked her lips in a seductive manner.
”I was quite surprised when I saw what you were rocking, no wonder you could keep that trash Eddie from attacking me.” Saying that she reached up and put a finger on her lips. ”Though I still didn't figure it out fast, but after you disappeared ever time there was a big super villain on the loose, and then I found out you take pictures of Spider-Man, with scarily accurate angles and poses, everything started to click.”
Then she gave him an exasperated look. ”But really, selling selfies for money? I mean really?” Peter blushed a little at being called out and thank god that he was wearing a mask with how red his face was. ”Though I did have to scratch you with a certain pheromone that one time to make sure.” Peter's eyes widened in shock as he remember the last fight he had with Black Cat, she had specifically set up a heist and then fought him for a short time.
Even with his enhanced strength and agility she was able to keep up, which made certain in Peters mind that there was something different about Felicia that he didn't know about. Of course in the end Peter still edged her out in almost every attribute and had a spider sense meaning he was winning the fight.
Having taken a claw to the back which hurt like hell, she had pulled back and he let her go. He saw no reason to continue to chase her. She stole nothing in the end. The next day at school she had been awfully close to him, patting him on the back repeatedly and being all handsy. Peter groaned in his mind at the mistake.
