Caught In The Cat's Web

Chapter 2

Summary: It's the first day of training and Felicia wants to prove to Miguel that she has what it takes to be apart of the Spider Society

New York, Earth-192

Felicia's hands slowly smooth out the few wrinkles of spandex on her hips, studying her appearance in the mirror. She wasn't used to her new suit and spider emblems. Felicia touches her hair, ultimately deciding to put it up, strands breaking free in the front. Felicia normally wore her hair down as the Black Cat. It wasn't all that practical but she loved the feeling of the cool breeze dancing with her silver locks as she swung around the city. But, she wasn't Black Cat anymore, she was a Spider-Woman.

Felicia paused her primping as memories rushed back to her.

"Spider Society? You have a club?" Felicia quirked her brow, giggling at her masked partner.

"It's not lame, I promise!" Peter laughs wrapping his arm around her waist. "I think it would be really good for you. You said you wanted to change and help people, and now that you have spider powers, you'll be able to do so on multi universal level!"

Felicia gives Peter a lopsided frown, looking up into the expressive goggles of his mask. "I don't think I'll fit in. The Spider Society is full of heroes and people who know what they're doing. You- you know what I've done, Spider." Felicia looks towards the sunset on the horizon. "I've fucked up a lot. I steal art and jewelry, do dumb shit, and I hurt people. They're gonna take one look at me and cast me away. I don't think it's a good idea to join you and your nerdy spider club."

Peter lifts the fabric of his mask before taking Felicia's chin and tilting it to look back at him. "Felicia, all Spider-People have fucked up. You've seen me fuck up a thousand times!" He chuckles. "I care about you, Felicia. You wanna be better? Join us." Peter leans down pressing a long kiss to Felicia's lips, letting a feeling of safety wash over her.

"Fine." She whispered against his lips. "But that means you're coming home with me tonight, Spider," Felicia smirks, pulling Peter in for another, more passionate kiss.

Peter smiles into the kiss, pulling her closer. "I'd be honored."

The hum of the portal opening in Felicia's living room, snaps her out of her memories, urging her to hurry.

"Damn!" Jessica smiles as she emerges from the portal. "You look good!"

"Really?" Felicia smiles, giving Jessica a twirl.

"I can't wait to hear what Miguel has to say about it," Jessica smirks to herself before she strides into the portal.

Nueva York, Earth 928

The moment Felicia emerges from the portal, she feels a sense of satisfaction as dozens of Spider-People turn to look at her in all of her beauty. As her peers feed her confidence, Felicia struts along the hallways, swaying her hips and hair with each step.

As the two women enter through the doors of the training gym, heads turn once again to gaze upon Felicia.

Miguel's mask retracts. "What are you wearing?" He said with no emotion.

"My new suit. You like it?" She smirks.

"It's black and white." Miguel studies her for a moment, not sure how he feels about the crocodile smile on her face. "LYLA."

"Hi, Miguel!" The AI pops up next to Miguel.

"What's Felicia wearing? I told you to make her a suit."
