Super Human? •PETER PARKER 2•

Chapter 27

"Peter Parker," Black Cat says walking into the bathroom more. "You should've told me."

"You're one to talk," he says back.

"I wanted to help you Parker I really did," she says almost sad.

"I didn't ask for your help."

"I asked for yours though!" She shouts to him. I think I missed something. I glance back and forth between them.

"What are you doing here Felicia?" Peter asks.

"Don't call me that. I'm working," Black Cat says.

"Oh so you get to say who I am but the moment you turn into Black Cat, Felicia is dead?"

"I try to keep my professional and personal life separate," she says. She looks over at me then back to Peter. "Unlike some people," she adds glancing back at me.

" I don't mind a little blend," Peter says.

"Clearly."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I finally ask after a second of silence. Felicia looks back at me and we make eye contact. "We're best friends. We live together for fuck sakes. You just keep a whole piece of yourself from me?"

"How long have you known? When did he tell you?"

"It doesn't matter. You should've told me. I've been with you for three years Felicia. Half that time I didn't even talk to Peter?"

"Why didn't you tell me about Spider-Man then?"

"Spider-Man hasn't been apart of my life. Black Cat has!" I shout to her. "You should've told me, and for the record I found out on my own. Peter didn't tell me."

"She stalked me," Peter says simply. I glare at him.

"I wasn't stalking," I say.

"You were. I knew you were there that night."

"The first day of your classes. You followed him to the roof," Felicia says in a realization tone. I nod lightly. "You saw us kiss. That's why you didn't want to tell me you like him. Cause you knew I had a thing for Spider-Man."

"Felicia why are you here?" I ask trying to change the subject before Peter says something about that.

"I told you I'm working."

"What does he want?" Peter asks.

"One of the pictures. He thinks he can find get ahold of one of Iron Man's tech through the picture," Felicia explains flipping her ponytail.

"What tech?" Peter pauses then gets a look of realization. "Edith." Felicia nods. "Wh- why does he," he pauses again. "He's working for him."

"Peter I-

"No, no," Peter says laughing a bit. "No I got rid of him. I killed him."

"Peter?" I question.

"This isn't real?" He asks. I furrow my eyebrows and realize what's happening.

"Peter," I say walking towards him. "Peter this is real."

"No! No none of this has been real. He's manipulating me again!" Peter says stepping back from me. I go to calm him down but he keeps walking away.

"Peter this is real!" I shout to him. He shakes his head and rubs his hands together. I look back at Felicia who is smirking and moving towards the door.

"What did you do? What have you done!" I ask her.

"It's not real? Right Peter," Felicia says flipping her ponytail again. She walks towards him. "Parker," he looks at her but staying aware of his surroundings. "If you need help just know," she takes her hand and grabs his arm. She pulls her claws out and drags them down his arm causing them to cut down his arm. He cries out in pain and move towards her but she kicks me away. I slam my head into a sink and groans in pain. "that was real," she says in his ear. She walks away and waves using only her fingers which have Peter's blood on them.
I groan and feel dizzy as I get up and crawl towards Peter. My vision is starting to get blurry.

"Peter," I say lightly. I touch the scratches on his arm and cry out as I feel my arm scratch up. "This. Is. Real." I say as I blackout.
