"So, what brings you over, Y/n?" MJ is seen with dark bags under eyes and a cup of coffee, looking out the window, "or rather I wonder why you couldn't use the front door."
Y/n is seen in his Spidey costume with his own cup of coffee outside her window. Peter looked at Y/n, "so, you finally managed how to drink like that?"
The camera flips to reveal Y/n was upside down, Y/n webs it to a wall, "nope, it was just for aesthetic, there's nothing actually in it."
MJ rolls her eyes with a smile, popping the window open. Y/n stuck his foot to the window, moving the foot and window upwards, allowing him to crawl in. He landed on the floor and opened his arms, "how have you two been?"
"I know I've been well~." Peter smiled, wrapping her arm around MJ.
"Uhh, Pete~!" MJ blushed a bit and waved her hands, "we've been good! Odd jobs with me while Daily Bugle gets rebuilt."
"Kinda amazes me that it's not finished." Peter sighed and sat on the couch again, turning on the TV.
"Well. Who would want to fix a building that was owned by JJJ?" Y/n says as he journeyed to the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator to see some casserole.
"It wasn't just owned by JJJ. Plus, I thought the people following him would help." MJ stated as she lazily closed the window, before sitting at the table. The microwave closed, heating up the plate of casserole. "Could you get the cobwebs up there?"
"Sure," Y/n leaps to the ceiling and wiped the cobwebs off.
"So what brings you over here?" Peter asked as he took a bite of his Pizza Bagel.
"Are you eating a Pizza Bagel for breakfast?" Y/n asked with a smirk, taking off his mask and gloves.
"Says the one eating tater-tot casserole fro breakfast." Peter shrugged, the microwave went off as well.
"Touché." Y/n took the plate and then immediately rushed to the table, eating it with speed, "Aunt May's still got it."
"Yep, she does miss you." MJ says while typing something on her computer.
"I'll try to swing by...mhmmmm~ when I can." Y/n used a napkin to wipe his face before going straight back into the food. "I've been busy with the Angel's Sin crap. And that Black Cat girl."
Peter and MJ both freeze what they were doing, sharing a subtle glance. Peter walked over to the table, slowly pulling out the chair, "I can't believe someone took up the mantle already."
"What?" Y/n paused and put the fork to the side of his plate, "you've dealt with her before?"
"Not quite. Peter didn't get a 'mistress' to fight." MJ groaned as Peter chuckled.
"Black Cat, A.K.A. Walter Hardy." Peter pulled up a photo of the first Black Cat. He seemed to have a black jumpsuit and blue goggles with a cat ears set up. "He was a well-known cat burglar and the first to operate under the moniker as Black Cat."
"Peter and Walter had a few run ins with each other where they would fight each other or team up." MJ teased with her tired phone, sipping her coffee.
"I'd like to call it, cultural differences." Peter groaned.
"Wow, well I never heard of him before now. But I'm usually out of the loop with these things, so maybe that doesn't mean much." Y/n handed the phone back to Peter. Y/n finished his food and took his dish to the sink. "So what happened to the guy?"
"Walter was arrested after pulling one of his biggest heists. Though he helped me bust one of the Maggia's main contributors. In prison for life." Pete said as he reached for MJ's coffee, who glared at him. "But when there was a break out at the Raft, apparently they found his body over the walls and in the sea."
"He killed himself? From what you told me..." Y/n was suspicious.
"I don't know much about it. I wasn't around when it all happened. But from what YOU said, there appears to be a new Black Cat, right?" Peter held his chin, though MJ chuckled.
"Maybe you two will work together as well. Though, there probably is a connection between Hardy and the New Black Cat." MJ stated.
"Huh? How come?" Y/n, who was still relatively new to Super-heroing, asked.
"Usually one doesn't just take up the mantle without some kind of link. Whether friend or more." MJ informed, tapping her cup, "you'll figure it out the more you do it."
"I see, I'll look into it." Y/n put the dish on the rack, drying his hands and putting the mask back on. "Well, I better go, can't stay here forever. Thank you for the food."
"Calling Captain Watanabe would be a good idea. She would have access to it." Cassandra spoke in Y/n's head.
"I was thinking the same thing." Y/n nodded.
"What?" Peter and MJ both asked.
"Oh, right. You can't hear her...um, it's nothing. Don't worry about it." Y/n awkwardly waved his hands, putting his gloves back on.
"Hang on, Y/n," Y/n turned to Peter, "Hardy and I ended on good terms. Black Cat is an ally to Spider-Men. Maybe you can trust this new one."
"Right. Don't forget to call me." Y/n leaps out the window and webbed away.
"He comes to get information, eats our food and then leaves." Peter waved in the distance.
MJ hummed with a smile, "they grow up so fast."
"I wish we were there when he was a kid. we only really met him during his 7th grade year. His parents hid him away good." Peter hugged MJ, behind the chair she was sitting on.
"Being there for him when he needs us is the best we can do." MJ kisses Peter's cheek.
"You're right, like usual. What do you want for Dinner? I was thinking..."
"No dumplings..."
"It was one time...."
———-
"What? You want to know about the Old Black Cat?" Yuri is seen on the roof of her prescient. Y/n is seen perching on the railing, "also, why are you here?"
"I was already in the area. Plus, I thought you may have wanted to see a friendly face on this lovely day." Y/n teases.
"Oh boy." Yuri said sarcastically, "as for Black Cat... I believe he grew up on the country side, kleptomaniac who didn't have anything growing up. Tussled with everyone. Think he has a daughter named Felicia."
A click in Y/n's head came on.
"The young teenager you met at Betty's party. So the Black Cat in this universe is Felicia Hardy as well. Though, I wasn't expecting her to be so young." Madame Webb exclaimed.
"You could've gave me a heads up that you had some idea." Y/n growled in his head.
"I've observed the multiverse, there have been many Black Cats. I'm sure I'm one universe, Allison is the Black Cat." Madame Webb quickly retorted.
"Yeesh, don't wanna think about how awkward that would be." Y/n nodded, "that's more than I had. Thanks for the help."
"Wait a sec, do you have any plans right now?" Yuri questioned.
"Uh, no. Why what's up? Need me to web up a few baddies?" Y/n wondered.
"Not quite. In the areas Black Cat have broken into, reports of Bat Droppings have been rumored throughout the layout." Yuri claimed as Y/n rubbed the back of his head, "what? You know something?"
"I saw giant mutated bats just yesterday. Enough to eat a person alive, in big chunks." Y/n shivered and held his head, "it maybe Gremlins look like angels."
"Well, them and Black Cat seem to be connected. Report them to me if you see any. If you have some time, I would like you to check it out." Yuri says as Y/n leaped off.
"It's the weekend, Yuri! Freedom!" Y/n slingshotted away, "though, if I were Black Cat, I would've at least hid by now. If she's still breaking in, it means that I can get the jump on Felicia still. But if I were a super criminal with Angel's Sin, where would I go?"
The scene cuts to Oscorp. A group of scientists walk past a blue illuminated hall. Once it was empty, Felicia walked into a sealed off room, with keycard in hand. Once she was in, she used the keycard to lock it behind her to not raise suspicion. "Phew, still got it."
"What are you doing here, Felicia?" Y/n asked her, webbing down from the ceiling in a Spidey fashion.
"You know, you're at the perfect position for an upside down kiss." Felicia seemed unmoved by Y/n knowing her identity. Felicia moved on and started looking at the small office. "Did you think about my offer?"
"Working together with you, that requires a level of trust." Y/n explained as he dropped down from the ceiling. Felicia propped open a can of smoke, rolling it on the ground. Lasers revealed themselves as a button is seen on the other end of the hall.
"Trust your not willing to give out." Felicia maneuvered around the lasers with wall kicks, flips, oh my. She pressed the button and crouched to the floor, pulling out a small lever. "If you don't trust me, Spider, you just have to say it."
"I don't trust you." Y/n bluntly stated with his arms folded.
"You're supposed to hesitate a little." Felicia says, all while placing the lever into a small hold and crank it. "Stand back, would ya?"
"You still haven't answered why..." Y/n started to say until a hidden panel lifted up. Felicia took the flies and looked at the cover.
"Here it is, just what I was looking for." Felicia hugged the folder, but Y/n was speechless.
"I'm sensing a mix of emotions. What is it?" Madame Webb asked.
The folder had 'The L/n Research', his parents?
"I have to know... is it really?" Y/n immediately webbed the flies.
"Hey! What's the big deal!?" Felicia shouted as Y/n webbed the flies all together.
"Sorry, Cat. I need this more than you." Y/n unlocked the door and rushed out.
"Oh no you don't!" Felicia glared and activated her claws, and started to run after Y/n, keeping right on his tail, even though the boy was swinging.
"Webb, can you take over? I gotta look at the note!" Y/n shouted in his head.
"Fine, but I need at least one hand." Madame Webb stated as the left wrist pulled the two to a sharp left down a small corridor.
"Stop running!" Felicia shouted before she clawed onto the roof and used it to kickstart her leap, which Cassandra webbed her to the ground. "Grgh! Never thought I'd say this, Spider, but you're starting to get on my nerves."
"That's Madame Webb to you." Madame Webb spoke from Y/n's mouth. Felicia was confused but effortlessly broke out the webs and aimed her grappling hook at Y/n's webline. When it fired, Y/n's line snapped and he went tumbling towards the window, "ugh. Slight problem."
"What do you mean?" Y/n asked as he came back, as Felicia rushed at him.
"No, no no!" Felicia tackled Y/n through the window. Y/n started to panic, "Aaaah!! Why?!"
"Focus, Spider-Man!" Madame Webb shouted as Y/n slapped himself. Y/n turned around in the air and webbed a nearby crane ball, to which Y/n swung on the ball to catch Felicia, holding her by some kinda black tail.
"OWW! THAT HURTS!!" Felicia blushed and glared. She was also holding the files.
"What? This is real? I thought this was part of the costume. Walter had it." Y/n pondered as Felicia gripped Y/n's throat, raising him in the air. "Gaggh-! Air...is need... to live..."
"Why did you say my father's name? What did you want with these folders?" Felicia demanded, tightening the grip.
"Uhn, Harder." Y/n muttered and Felicia immediately dropped Y/n.
"What the fuck?" Felicia pulled her hand back.
"Cough, cough. Holy shit, that actually worked. Cough, don't worry, I'm not into that." Y/n held his throat, but he also noticed that the glass cut the mask halfway perfectly. What kind luck is that? "Did we lock eyes?"
"A bunch actually." Felicia said as she stepped towards Y/n. She put the files in her costume.
Y/n lifted his hands up, "Wait, wait. Before you grab me again, could you at least tell me about your day or something so I could catch my breath?"
"I don't get it. If you wanted the folders, you could just use you Spidey Persona to get what you want. You're seen as a hero, plus, you weren't trying that hard to stop me." Felicia admitted as the noon bell started to ring on the clock. "I can tell that your holding back.
"And clearly, you're not." Y/n started to rise again. He gripped his fists, "besides, I don't want to steal, I want to protect. A choice to do the right thing no matter what anyone says, will hopefully aways come first for me. And, if you could say the same, that will determine if we work together."
"So what? I'm supposed to become some sort of 'Anti-Hero'?" Felicia did not seem amused.
"From what I heard, your father helped Spider-Man in the past. Which explains why you'd be so chill with Spider-Heroes." Y/n folded his arms, while Felicia seemed to glare at him, "sorry, to get to you, I need to learn about your past. I learned about what happened to your father, and I'm sorry."
"Don't. Don't you, of all people..." Felicia muttered and her claws shined in the sunlight.
Y/n was silent, as the two made eye contact, "...okay. Now, I need to see that..."
The rest of the mask came down, as Y/n didn't feel anything, "Spider-Man! Your mask!"
Y/n started to sweat and felt his face, "oh no..."
Felicia perked up with a smile, "hey, I know you, Sugar! Y/n, right? We met at the party!"
Y/n held his face and webbed a nearby paper bag, putting it over his head and making eyeholes. "Ugh, this day could not get anymore weirder or more random..."
"Black Cat, I've been looking for you." Y/n's Spidey sense went off as Y/n quickly webbed the air. A figure suddenly comes soaring down from the sky and kicked Black Cat away, before bashing Y/n with a baton in the stomach.
"Gah! Now what!" Y/n flipped up from his back and glared at the man. Around hims was a swarm of tiny bats.
"Oh, Joseph Manfredi." Black Cat groaned, looking at Spidey, "son of that clown, Silvermane. He used to be in the circus, is that your clown costume!?"
"I don't have time to waste. You need to give use back the Angel's Sin you stole." Joseph rose his hand.
"Listen, Blackwing Duck, could you perhaps pick up all the bat droppings your bats are leaving? There everywhere." Y/n said with annoyance.
"Was that a quip or real? You seem pretty heated over there~." Felicia teases as Blackwing gripped his head.
"STOP IGNORING ME!!" Blackwing shouted, letting off a Sonic screech.
"AAAAAAGHHH!!" Black Cat and Y/n fell to their knees, holding their ears.
"First Shriek, now you, you lot are gonna cause permanent damage soon." Y/n quickly got up and took a stance.
"What's wrong? Kitty afraid to lose her nine lives?" Blackwing taunted Black Cat.
"This Kitty's got claws." Felicia snarled with a hiss.
"Get them." Blackwing sent out the bats as Y/n immediately held his wrist, and shot a web, making the web part ways, like putting your finger in a stream from a hose. The web wrapped around a couple of the bats as Y/n swung them around before slamming on the ground, "NO! MY BABIES!"
"I'm gonna have PETA after me with this one." Y/n shouted as Blackwing snapped his fingers, human sized bats came down.
"Maybe JJJ too, but that's nothing knew, Sugar~" Felicia teases while slicing all around her at the bats, clipping their wings. A human sized bat comes down and grabs her, bringing her into the air, "WHOA! Hey, hands off, ya damn freak!"
"Hang on...?" Y/n says before the human sized bat knocked him out of the way, "super strength too? Bring it on."
Spidey swings web bat to hit the bats with a web ball, which knocked them back. He then webbed the tiny ones up and tossed them into the air, the human sizes bat freaked out and went towards the creature. "So they want to protect the younger ones?"
Y/n slips under another that tried to bite him, webbing it to the ground before giving a donkey kick to the large one. Meanwhile, Cat lifter her foot above her head, swiping the bat's eyes with her claws. "It probably won't do that much, but you deserved it."
The bat let out a shriek of pain before Black Cat climbed to the back of it and sliced the swings, leading for the two to come soaring down, "Spidey!"
Y/n's webs tap him on the shoulder, "Huh?" Spidey looked up to see Felicia soaring down. "Crap."
"Let her fall." Blackwing aimed his glove at Y/n, leading for a swarm of bats to slice him all over. The crowd was so much that, Y/n was starting to get pushed back.
"Shit, what did Spidey say? Eye contact?" Felicia thought to herself, "hey! Darkwing knockoff! Up here!"
Blackwing took the bait and aimed the glove up at Black Cat, it was just enough for Y/n to web a good portion of them and swing them past Blackwing's head. Y/n's foe went straight to them, knocking the air out of Joseph. "GAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING-?!"
"Hehe, got it." Y/n quickly webbed around a city skyscraper. Y/n webbed onto the side before shooting a bunch of webs across to one in the distance. Y/n then stabilized it as Felicia and the bat crashed into Y/n's newly made web. It completely stopped their momentum.
"Should've known my hero would save me again ~" Felicia flirted as she crawled out web and back on the battlefield, a rooftop.
"I've got a plan. The big ones go after the injured little ones, no matter what. If he direct them towards Blackwing, just long enough to take that glove, we can win." Y/n analyzed with a smirk.
"Good eye. We make a good team, Spider~" Black Cat took a stance of her own.
"You're giving me those files after this..." Y/n reminded as Black Cat rolled her eyes.
Blackwing was riding a large bat, gritting his teeth, "you two, really piss me off!
Felicia smirked at Y/n. "On three?"
"Three." Y/n went high with webbing. Blackwing waved his arm from the right to the left, sending an energy blast at Y/n in a crescent shape. "Whoa, that's new, Dracula. Ever think of a career change?"
"How dare you mock me!" Blackwing shouted and sent plenty of bats at the two, mostly Felicia.
"That's not that hard, just look at what you're wearing~." Felicia added while slicing all the bats in her way, even starting to have fun. She then kicked them into the air, "all yours, Spidey!"
A little earlier, a giant bat comes crashing into Y/n, "WHOA! LOOK OUT!"
"Huh?" Y/n goes crashing into an HR, Y/n slides on a long conference desk. "I would like to discuss a complaint."
"RAAAAHH!" the giant bat came down from the ceiling.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!" people screamed as they fled the office.
"Yeah, just leave me here...I'm fine." Spidey connects webs to a web ball to make a yo-yo, then throws it forward to launch the bat back into the air, and then pulls back to bring the bat forward. Y/m formed a Web Hammer, slamming it into the Bat, three times to the head before kicking it away.
"All yours, Spidey!" Y/n hears Felicia's voice and sees the injured bats being thrown in the air. Y/n zipped over and wraps them in a cocoon.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY BABIES!!?" Blackwing charged a enrgy blast but Y/n webbed his mouth and hands together.
"Aww, you miss them that bad?" Felicia snickered.
"Then you can have them back!" Y/n kicked the cacoon towards Blackwing, leading for Felicia's foe to get tackled by one of his own. "Now, Cat!"
"On it!" Black Cat aimed her Grappling Gun at Blackwing's glove, wrapping the glove but not the hand. Black Cat kicked Blackwing down, "bye bye, Joseph."
Joseph went falling down the skyscraper, "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"
Y/n panicked, "Cat?! What are you!!?"
"What? He can-" Black Cat was very nonchalant about this before Y/n leaped after Joseph, then she grew angry and worried, "you idiot! Stop! He can fly himself!"
"What?" Y/n looked upwards before Blackwing's suit started to make some noise.
"You fucked up, kid." Blackwing smirked as a red light came out of his suit.
"Oh my, this is going to hurt." Madame Webb stated as Y/n closed his eyes.
Blackwing shot an energy blast, point blank, sending Spidey back up. Felicia rushed over, "you idiot! Even if he couldn't fly, why would you save him?! He's the enemy!"
"It's just what...we do..." Y/n chuckled as the bag started to disintegrate. Felicia moved him to the access door wall and glared back. "Wait.... You can't..."
"Now that the threat is out of the way..." Blackwing rose back into the air and raised his hands, red lighting started to form around. Though, Felicia glared straight into Blackwing's eyes, her pupils became vertical as she gained a dangerous aura around her, "what the... this feeling? Her movements...It reminds me of when an animal protects its partner. How disgustingly cute."
"You forgot to check everything." Black Cat's powers started to take effects as one of the hover jets in the suit started to fail.
"What?! No! I'm so close! No!" Joseph shouted, one of the bigger bats dived in and grabbed the plummeting man. "THIS ISN'T OVER!"
"YOU BETTER BELIVE IT'S NOT!!" Felicia shouted with a glare, she then chuckled at Spidey, "well...they left. So I guess that means we won." she didn't get a response, "Y/n?"
She realized Y/n was passed out, she fixed his position to lay him down against a vent and out of sight. "I can't stay here, but that was fun..." Felicia looked back at Y/n, before looking at the files she stuffed in her costume... "sorry, Spider. Not yet. But hopefully the cat and the spider can make this work out."
Felicia hopped off the roof... the scene then cuts to the sun rising. Water is seen being splashed into Y/n's face, "GASP! BATS! MAN BATS!?"
"Okay, so know I know what happened to you." Gwen is seen in costume, looking at Y/n. "Have you been knocked out this whole time?"
"What? No I was..." Y/n held his head as he raised his arms, "Um... I was....maybe I was."
"Okay, sleepy. Remind me of what you were doing." Gwen asked as Y/n gave her the rundown of all the events he could remember. "Okay, it's clear this is bigger than you. Let me back on."
"What?! No? I'm planning on finding Felicia and make sure she keeps it a secret. You need to get used to a second life!" Y/n leaped off the roof, but he still wasn't at 100%. Webb saved him and took over, "thanks, Webb."
"Wait! Y/n!" Gwen shouted with a sigh, webbing after the hero.
