You and Felicia stood across from each other, her staff expanded and your claws ready to attack. You haven't seen her in nearly a year. Someone you used to see everyday. Someone you loved. Someone who you considered family.

And she was your only chance to figure out what was going on.

Felicia: Why are you here? You wouldn't be here unless you were...

Y/N: Looking for you.

Felicia: You told me you let me go. Why did you come back?

You narrowed your eyes at her as you retracted your claws. You instead subtlety brought out your other claws. The ones you inhearted from your second mutation.

Cat: And why do you look like that? You decide to ditch the brush? Your eyes look a bit more wild, too.

Y/N: Enough with the small talk, Felicia. If you really are part of the dark side in this, then I'm not going down without a fight. No amount of history will stop that.

Cat raised a brow confused.

Cat: The dark side? What are you on about?

Y/N: The Thieves Guild. They came and stole very important things from some very important people.

You took a step towards her.

Y/N: And I know that you're still a member.

Cat took a step forward as well.

Cat: So what if I am? I didn't steal anything from your hero friends. But, yeah. The Guild is involved.

At least your suspensions were correct. The Thieves Guild. Or, at least their New York chapter. Cat and you stared at each other for a moment, before Cat collapsed her staff and placed it back on her belt.

Cat: You can relax. We're not gonna hurt you.

Y/N: Like you even can.

Cat smirked a bit before she thought about something. She then had a plan. An idea. One that she couldn't do alone.

Cat: Hey, how about a proposal?

Y/N: A proposal?

Cat nodded.

Cat: I talked to Felicia about it, and we want to help.

This was a surpise. You didn't really know if it was a good one, though.

Y/N: You want to help?

Cat: Yes. Tell you what, we can help you get the stuff back by stealing it. However, in order to do that, we need help breaking into the Thieves Guild again.

Again? Wait a second....were they the one who broke into the Guild during the breakouts? She totally took advantage of the chaos to steal.

But, you could use the help. You used to be a thief, sure, but now you were rusty. Really rusty. And breaking into the Thieves Guild required someone who was not rusty.

Cat held out her hand with a smile.

Cat: Come on, mister. Won't you shake a poor sinner's hand? Or are you too noble to touch a thief?

You gave it some thought. Sure, you could tell the others and they could lead a raid, but how would they do that if their gear was missing? And on top of that, you knew you were on limited time.
