Spider-Man: Duty and Loss Chapter 27: Felicia Part 2

Her body was splayed over the sheets and obviously not responsive. "What!! Peter?!?!" Eddie who was surprised about the sudden shout turned around quickly, almost tripping over. Seeing his former friend Eddie's eyes opened wide as he looked down at what he was doing.

"Hey it's not what it looks like!" Eddie reflexively shouted out a defense as Peter didn't give him a chance. Stomping over to him Pete lifted him off the ground, using his super strength to manhandle him. Lifting him off the ground he hit him in the gut in anger, causing him to groan before flinging him out the door.

*Bang* Hitting the ground as he flew out a small amount of people stopped what they were doing and looked over. A small crowd started to gather to look at what was going on. Peter didn't give them any time as he pulled out his phone and pressed a certain number.

"Yes?" Crystal's voice responded back. "Hack into the Hardy foundation system and get one of their parents on the line now. Mask it with Felicia's number" Peter responded grimly as he walked up to her prone body and started to check for any response. Her eye were glassy, her pulse was slow and breathing shallow. She gave a small groan as he checked her, but nothing else. Whatever Brock gave her was strong stuff.

As the crowd continued to gather at the door, the phone finally connected to someone. "Felicia what is it sweetie?" The warm voice of a woman spoke over the phone, Peter could her some motherly love in it, it made him angrier about what just happened, and made him regret what he had to tell her.

"Mrs. Hardy?" Peter spoke calmly. "Who is this and where is my Daughter!?" The voice instantly turned cold and aggressive in a split second. "Your daughters been drugged at a party and you should get down here right away. I'm using her phone to contact you." Peter tried to keep calm against the angry mother. "What?!?! What bastard….." the line turned quiet as commands were spoken to someone else on the other side. "Get the car ready right now! What party was she going to? Osborn's? If something happens to her I don't care what happens we'll cut all ties with them! I said get the car now!"

Finally the woman talked to Peter again. "I don't know who you are, but please keep my daughter safe until we arrive." "Of course!" The woman didn't hang up the phone until Peter said a confirmation. Taking the phone from his ear he looked down one more time and saw that her pants were still down.

Quickly grabbing the blanket, he covered her exposed body and looked at the door to the room. A huge crowd had formed by now and the music had stopped. Everyone was looking in to see what happened. It wasn't long before Harry finally turned up, Gwen trailing behind.

"Peter?" His best friend looked around not understanding what was going on, as he looked from Peter, to Felicia that was knocked out on the bed. Peter still feeling a bit angry explained what had happened. Harry's face turned pale as he realized the gravity of the situation.

Felicia's Parents weren't people to trifle with, not to mention the story of what happened here would drastically damage his father's reputation, if not handled properly. While Harry freaked out, Peter looked to Gwen who had a disgusted face as she heard the story; she also used to be friends with Eddie when she was younger.

"Gwen I need you to look after her till her mother arrives." Gwen gave a stiff nod as Peter mentioned that her pants were down and she would need privacy. Done with that Peter helped Harry move out and get everyone back. Eddie disappeared before anyone could stop him and the party was cancelled.

Everyone was cleared out just before an angry mother barged into the pent house apartment and started to tear into the 3 that were left. Coming with 4 body guards, a doctor and a whole lot of rage, Peter tried to explain what happened, but she was having none of it.

Seeing her daughter knocked out in one of the bedrooms almost sent her mad, determining quickly that she could be moved, the quickly departed for a private hospital that they owned for her to be looked after.

Later Norman Osborn who heard the news quickly took a flight home and tore into Harry for what happened. By this time Peter was back at home, but thankfully he was being praised by Aunt May who found out what he did.

(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.
