(R/n) just took a shit all over (Y/n) Strange.

"You sweet bitch..." The daughter groaned, her rabbit sat innocently on her lab, not knowing what it had done.

"What did I say about swearing?" The father complained.

   "It took a shit on me! (R/n) never took a shit on me. Why are all the bad things happening around me? Maybe I was cursed to become a human trash, which, wasn't necessary by the way, I was already one." She put her bunny back in its home.

   "Ha." He scoffed. "Glad to know you figured yourself out."

   "By the way daddy." Her tone went a little more sarcastic. "We spent the whole day in this library, flipping each page to find what cursed me, this is not working."

   "Have patience." He replied calmly.

   "Don't we have google? Like, magic google? That we can search what we're looking for?" A book from the shelf fell right on her head. "Ow! Bad luck is a bitch!"

   "That was me, sorry." Doctor Strange stood up from his chair, as his daughter stared at him with the confused expression he just stared back like, Didn't mean to. Really.

"Why'd you dropped it on me?" She muttered.

"I needed this book. You happened to be standing beneath it." He said, opened the pages up. (Y/n) stood on her tiptoe, trying to take a look.

"What does it say?" She asked.

"It seems that you were cursed by being targeted from a mistress of bad luck."

"How specific. And who that is?"

"Were you involved with a cat?"

"Cat? There's actually a woman dressed as a cat stalking--" She was going to say Peter and me when she remembered she could not let her father know she let him in her bedroom. "Me. The other day."

He looked straight ahead, confused as ever. "And you didn't tell me?"

"Well, I was stalked a lot, I kept some to myself." She said.

"You can't do that. Who is supposed to protect you when you get attacked? If I had known I wouldn't have taken your sling ring." He got angry.

"Attack? Who's gonna attack me huh? Dormammu?" She got angrier.

"Right, so someone just decided to curse you just for fun, is it?"

"Oh. I don't know maybe I cursed myself?"

As she yelled back the ancient flower vase exploded. Little (R/n) ran for cover in her little house. The room fell silent as the two Strange stared at each other as they froze.

"I did that?" She asked him.

"No shit, Sherlock." He sighed.

   "I can really use magic without the ring, can I?"

   He rolled his eyes so far back it almost disappeared into his skull. "Yes, I can too, young lady. You became independent on it, and without them, you can't control your power properly, plus your temper drives it insane."

   "More books to read to handle this, then." She tried casting some spell, they were weak and fragile.

   "You'll be alright." He patted her shoulder and handed her one of the sling rings. "Until then, have it to cover your own ass."

   (Y/n) took the sling ring and put it in her pocket. Then she walked ahead but some random puddle that was there just to give her bad luck caused her to slip and fall.

   "Oh for Christ's sake!!" She yelled. Her father ignored her and he said.

   "The bad luck curse on you is from someone who asked some of the sorcerers to enchanted them. Whoever is their target will be living in misery."

   (Y/n) thought for a moment it was the locket's effect, but she didn't risk having Doctor Strange taking it away from her, so she stayed focus on the cat lady.

   "Why would they, even though I'm pretty sure she's a girl, target me?"

   "I have no idea. Although I can track where the person is right now, and we need the string of their hair to get rid of the curse."

   "Good. Then let's go."

   "Put on your cloak, daughter." He gave a very classy smile back to the smaller Strange.

I was in the middle of class when Tony Stark called he needed his intern's help. To every other that means I'll go be a lab geek, to me, it means something is up and the Avengers needs my help.

   I found myself an alley to change, then Spider-man swung across buildings to reach the destination.

   "Good evening, Peter." Karen told me.

   "You too, Karen! What's going on?"

   "There's an attack at the government's nuclear lab, we believe the anonymous terrorist is trying to steal a bomb."

   "The Avengers will be there to stop them. Get it!"

"Go at the rooftop of this tower, Peter." Karen guided me, I climbed up, jumped and landed down on the roof in a superhero landing.

Mr. Stark's armor was waiting for me there.

"The lab is located outside of this district, you're going to need a lift." She told me.

"Got it. He sent his bare suit just to give me a ride?"

Then, deja vu, the armor took its helmet off and Tony Stark was inside. He had the face of someone whose life hates him and he hates it back.

"Oh... Hello Mr. Stark." I said, I hope the mask was enough to cover up how nervous I was.

   "We're going together." His mask put itself back.

"Ugh.. how?" I walked closer to his tall armor. "You're giving me a piggyback ride?"

"Just climb on." Even with the mask, he was so done of me, I jumped on his armored back.

"Buckle up, kid."

I held on him tighter, then he blasted off the ground and we hit the sky together.

I can't fly, swinging onto my webs from heights doesn't count, this was some cool experience. We talked to each other with our suits in the air.

"This is some serious stuff, alright kid? There's gonna be hundreds of armed men. Thor and I will take care of them, meanwhile, you will sneak up to catch their boss on the highest floor of the building."

"Thor...? Thor is on earth?" I always wanted to meet him.

"Yeah, apparently Asgard died or something so he brought his crew to earth."

[Thanos never attack Thor's ship in this fic so they're back safely to earth. Yay.]

"Who is the boss, Mr. Stark?"

"We have literally no idea. We don't even know who they are and why they decided to attack now."

"Hydra?"

"I thought so, too, but something changed my mind." We arrived, from up here it was a space in the middle of nowhere, with one tall building and a strong wall.

But the gates ware destroyed with a tank, our people and the terrorists were fighting with guns and grenade. Mr. Stark dropped me off at the balcony of the building.

"Your only job is to stay stealthy and find the boss, then report back to me, okay?" He said.

I nodded. "Aye, aye captain!" Then I jumped into the building as Tony Stark float off to defeat the enemy.

The building was attacked, the scientists were tied up, guards were killed, I gulped. Tension crept up on me as I ran on the hallway.

"...Help..." A voice stopped me, it was s.h.e.i.l.d's soldier who was shot on the ground.

"Karen," I called out, she scanned him for me, he lost so much blood and he needed help immediately.

"I already called for the medic." She told me.

"Alright, sir." I put his hand over his wounds. "Keep pressing it okay? It'll slow down the bleeding. Help is on its way."

"I'll be okay. You're looking for the boss, right? She's in lab 23." He told me, pointing the way.

"Thank you so much." I followed the way, it led to the biggest laboratory of the building. I put my ear next to the door, it sounded quiet enough for me to barging in.

There was no one and I flinched as the door shut closed behind me. I heard a voice, it was an echoed laughter of a girl, circling around me in the dark, I was unable to locate her.

"Who's out there?!" I yelled. Then I saw a shadow of a lady on the wall, it was small at first then bigger and bigger, I soon realized she was behind me.

My reflex was fast, but not enough. I was kicked in the knees and I fell down on the floor, when I looked up she was there, hair all white, dressed all black.

"Finally a proper meeting... Spider." Her voice was nothing I've ever heard of, like she was teasing, like she meant to make it sound like that, just for me.

I kicked her in the face.

But she flipped away before it does any damage, she jumped up inhumanly up and sat on the table, she smiled. She was wearing a mask around her eyes, it didn't cover up her red lips.

"Mr. Stark... I think I found the boss." I said.

"I'm sending backup." He replied instantly.

We walked around each other, my eyes stared at her, hers stared at mine. "Why were you stalking (Y/n) Strange?" I asked.

And she chuckled like I was a child saying stupid things. "I wasn't following her, love."

"You were following me?"

"I have had my eyes on you for awhile now. So naive." She bit her lips. "But you led me to her... and Strange is interesting, too."

"What do you want from us? Why are trying to steal the grenade? What are you going to do with it?"

"That's a lot of questions. We're gonna need the whole night..."

I was off guard as suddenly went after me, she was so fast and I was trying to web back but she seemed to dodge every single time.

"Mr. Stark!? I need the backup right now!!" I yelled and she chuckled. The black cat was more experienced, older, too. She just kept coming, punch after punch, I could only fell back.

There was no reply, we lost connection. I was cornered as she kicked me hard right in my stomach, my body flew in the air and hit the wall, so hard it cracked.

"..." I couldn't say anything, it felt like all my guts were destroyed, I laid there, trying to get up but the body just wouldn't move as I needed it to.

"Oh, poor Spidey." She walked in a straight line to me, then she sat there, and she took my mask off.

"No--" I tried to stop her by punching back, I mean, I know it's not okay to punch a lady, but I had no choice. I'd punch the hell out of her if I could.

She grabbed me by my throat with one hand, the other succeeded revealing my face. And even if she has seen it before she acted like this is the first time.

"You know what they say about black cats?"

"..." I didn't know what to say and couldn't speak also.

"Many myths say they bring bad things to the people it appeared to, death, too. You ever wonder why Strange's been having problems in her life lately, or why your little sense doesn't work on me?"

"So it was you..." My voice was weak.

"Yes, honey. And we have a long way to go, you know cat loves to play with the prey before we actually kill them."

"Or maybe we should put you in a cage."

(Y/n)'s voice filled up the adrenaline in me, my eyes found her and Doctor Strange's behind the Black Cat. The white-haired lady slowly turned around, instead of being scared that she should be, she smiled.

"(Y/n)?" It was more of an excitement than a question.

"Peter." She said.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to get the string of her hair." Doctor Strange said.

"And I'm here to snatch her wig." Daughter Strange added.
