Curiosity killed the cat ~ a Peter Parker Fanfic

Chapter 2

5am Is most definitely way too early to be getting up at, but motherless I still was. Some will call me dedicated and some may call me over the top. Personally, I think I am right doing so as I have lots to prepare for tonight.

I got out of bed with, I wish I could say ease but now is not the case. I got out of bed with hesitation knowing that today would be the day people will find out what the Black Cat is fully capable of.

The first thing I had to do was get my Halloween costume, I got it tailor-made to fulfil my exact measurements and needs. It's a black morph-like suit, made with leather strings intertwined to make the perfect fabric, my mask doesn't really do much but it covers the identifiable parts of my face, for example the bridge of my nose, it doesn't make much sense I know. There are also bits of purple and white that stand out when light is shon on the suit, it's stunning.

I grabbed a backpack that was lying around and stuffed it inside the bag along with my eye mask, a fold-up duffle bag, flour bombs, hand held a CO2 laser (i got it for my birthday from my fathers friend), a handful of compact bombs, 1 can of black spray paint, a couple knifes, a wire cutter and some lipstick, just in case. I threw it over my shoulder and rushed downstairs and out the hotel. My bike was handy so I grabbed it and jumped on, cycling into the centre of New York, heading towards the bank that was just down the street from the restaurant we had booked for tonight.

There's an alleyway beside the bank, that's were I was going to leave my bike and backpack so they were at easy reach when needed. I also left a skate board there so I could get home faster, considering I had a ton more to do. Actually that was all I really needed to do, since it was so early barely anybody was around, so I wouldn't get spotted by the future crime scene, therefore I couldn't get linked to anything. I also needed to get the job done, after all I was chosen for this.

Tomorrow's also the first day of school so I need to try not to get arrested. Speaking of school where did I put that lanyard?

The next thing on my to-do list is come up with an excuse to leave the restaurant, I have two options, number one is fake a really really bad period cramps and number two is throw up. I think I'll go with number one, I'm not all fond of throwing up on command, or in general for that matter.

05:47am, I guess I could go back to sleep now, a girl needs her beauty sleep. But that won't be the case. I have more things to do, I don't have much more, but enough for me not to go to sleep just yet.

We're going to the restaurant for my birthday dinner and my whole family's going to be there, Dad, Mom, Nana, Grandpa, Grandad, Aunt Lola, Uncle Jase, Gillian, Aunt Oli, Aunt Alipher, Mom's bestfriend; 'Aunt' Gale, her husband; Joseph, their kid Bradley, who's this super annoying 5th grader who actually will not shut up. There's also my favourite cousin, Harley, his Mom is Aunt Chelsea, she's also my favourite Aunt, she's so so so funny. He's about a year older than me but we get along well, so it's going to be hard to stay hidden and get away from him for the plan to actually work.

Okay honestly I really only have one more thing to do and that's pick what I'm going to wear. It's needs to be practical but not ugly, not eye-catching but not basic, I can't have attention drawn to me before I put the suit on..

I dug threw my wardrobe, milling through racks and mounds of unworn clothes, finally choosing a couple dresses, both black, both cute but not sweet. My first option was a silk, tight mini dress with a low neckline and a bow, tied at the front. My second option was another black dress, but a linen fabric, it was more simple and had a barely noticeable pattern stitched onto the fabric, the sleeves where nice and puffy and the neckline was square and deep. Ultimately I decided on the second one, it was more my style and less classy than the first. Perfect for what I was going for.
