Gotham meet Spider-Man and Black Cat

Chapter 3

Peter woke up the next morning feeling better than he had since before Titan. Before everything went wrong. He woke up to the smell of soft lavender. It was the smell of his girlfriend? Felicia Hardy. He opened his eyes to the sweet sight of her laying next to him. She was snuggled up against his neck and his arms were wrapped around her back. Peter watched as a soft smile grew on Felicia's face and she snuggled deeper into him.

Peter looked around the room and noticed they weren't in their apartment. Peter slowly remembered what happened yesterday. The hell he went through both in school and after school. He heard the sound of a soft knock on the door. "Mister Parker. Miss Hardy. I recommend waking up before you are late for school." It was Alfred, the butler who scared the shit out of Peter. "We will be up in a second Alfred. Felicia's still asleep." He heard Alfred walk off.

Peter softly shook. "Felicia, it's time to get up. We're gonna be late for school if you don't get up soon." Felicia groaned and stood up slowly. She gave him a peck on the cheek. "Good morning Peter. I get to use the bathroom first." She walked into the bathroom and left Peter sitting on the bed. Peter decided to get dressed next to the bed while Felicia got dressed in the bathroom.

It took 15 minutes just for Felicia to get out of the bathroom. "Why do girls always have to take forever to get ready." Peter complained and went to go into the bathroom before being dragged back to Felicia by the ear. "You should be thankful I was out of there in 15 minutes. Do you know how much shit I have to do in order to look good? Certainly more than you do. If you complain again, you and Tim are gonna be doing mine and Steph's work again. And I know how much you hated that." Peter's eyes widened at the threat. "You wouldn't." Felicia smirked evilly. "Ok you're not joking. I'm sorry for complaining." Felicia smiled. "Good." She gave him a kiss on the lips. "And don't forget to brush your teeth. Your morning breath smells horrible." Peter walked into the bathroom and was out. in less than 5 minutes.

He walked downstairs to find everyone waiting for them. "Finally, you two took forever to get down here. We have been waiting for you guys forever." Tim complained. "Drake, you are the only one who complained. Everyone in this room was very happy with Peter and Felicia's tardiness. It gave us more time away from that hell called school." "Couldn't agree more. Tim you need to learn to hate school more." Duke said. He didn't seem to hate the morning as much as Felicia or Steph did. He just seemed to hate school. Felicia grinned with Steph. "I think I could help with that." Tim and Peter looked at each other. Not again the look said. Peter and Tim couldn't deal with that again. "Please no. I can't deal with all of that again." Tim looked like he was being killed slowly and painfully. Steph cooed. "Don't worry baby. Nothing will happen today" Tim whined and blushed. "Steph not in public." He hid his face in his hands and expected some sort of remark from the demon brat but nothing ever came.

No one knew about Damian and Nika's relationship. They didn't know about any of his friends either. Damian also liked being babied by his girlfriend and knew it was hypocritical to make fun of Drake for it. He often liked it when he was called sweet pet names and was held close. She was the only one he allowed so close to him besides Richard, Jon, Colin, Maps, and Maya. Damian was happy that he could finally see some of his friends today. Colin had just gotten back from a mission with Maya and Maps. Maya dragged both of them with her to Spain for a drug bust. Damian could actually enjoy school today. Damian had actually enjoyed Peter's company. He was sweet and kind like Cain but had an IQ similar if not better than Drake's. He was not the best at socializing but Damian wasn't either. Though Damian would never admit that. Damian also liked Felicia. She reminded him of his step-mother and Cain. She moved with a grace that was similar to Cain's. She was also silent but it was more of a thief's silence than it was an assassin's silence. She held a love for cats and loved Alfred the cat. She knew how to treat him correctly and what he liked. Damian wasn't stupid either, he knew she was the one who pickpocketed Todd and Drake. She was a mini Selina Kyle.

Damian enjoyed his step-mother's company more than he let on. Damian would let her call him kitten when no one else was around and let her teach him how to take better care of his animals. For an ex-criminal, his step-mother wasn't all that bad. She was certainly better than his actual mother. Though his mother had been better in recent times. Damian ignored everyone except for Duke on the way to school. He decided to enjoy the soft tap of the rain on the window of the car. The rain calmed him. It never rained much in Nanda Parbat. It was why he enjoyed the rain of Gotham, no matter how often it rained. He liked the rainy nights on Patrol. He would sometimes lower his hood in favor of feeling the water hit his light brown skin. His hair might have been messed up but he didn't care. The water always felt good on his body.

Damian didn't bother to say goodbye to anyone. He snuck away immediately before anyone could notice he was gone. The first thing he did was go to his locker. He grabbed his books and left for his first period class. It was the only class he wasn't in with his friends. The class was a Junior and Senior chemistry class. He was partnered with Duke. One of his few more than tolerable siblings. Him and Thomas worked well together both on and off patrol. Him and Duke have pranked everyone in the manor at least three times and have never been caught once. Damian and Duke were the second group to finish their assignment today. Once again they were beaten out by Peter and Steph. He knew Steph wasn't dumb but he knew Peter was the one doing most of the work. He was just like Drake. Peter was great at science and math but didn't have the best understanding of literature. Everyone in the family was exceptionally great at something different from the rest. Drake was great at science, Richard and Cain were great at math, Gordon was great with technology, Brown and Duke could tell you all about Gotham's history, Todd knew all about literature, and Damian knew many different languages. It wasn't too hard to notice. They all loved to talk about what they were good at. He hoped that maybe Peter and Felicia would one day join their family. Fuck when did he become so soft.

Damian and Duke talked about some of their new prank ideas. The newest one was to replace all of Todd's guns with water guns. They already had the water guns ready. They looked exactly the same as his actual guns. They even had a part to load in the gun. But the bullets didn't come out when he fired, only water. They already knew to blame Richard for the idea and Drake for making the guns. Damian and Duke just needed to be away from Todd when it happened.

Damian thought about the time Colin gave him pink hair dye. Duke and Damian were able to dye Tim's hair pink. At first he was very pissed off about it. But then the next day he didn't seem to mind it that much. After what he saw this morning, he's pretty sure Brown was responsible for his sudden positive attitude. Damian shivered at the thought. He didn't want to think about either of them like that. He must have been staring for a long time. "You good Damian." Damian turned to him. "Of course I am feeling good. Why would I not feel good?" Duke smiled. "Whatever you say Damian." Duke had homework due next period to finish. Damian opened his sketchbook and slowly worked on his newest work of Duke. He waited till right before the bell to ring to leave. He always left before anyone noticed. He wanted to talk to his friends and sit with people who truly knew him. Damian was grateful for his friends. He sat in the back of math and waited for Colin and Maps.

Colin and Maps both walked to their seats. "What's up Damian." Colin greeted him. "Hey Damian." Maps squealed with a ton of energy. "Maps, has anyone ever told you to talk softer when in doors?" Maps smiled. "Maybe once or twice Dami." Damian frowned. "Damian." "No Dami." Damian sighed. She would never stop. Both of them were staring at him. "Why are you both you imbeciles staring at me." Colin looked scared. "I think he's possessed. He let you call Dami." Damian scoffed. "I don't see what the big deal is." "Colin, I'm scared. I think we should get Jon." "Tt. You two can be even more idiotic than Drake sometimes." Colin breathed a sigh of relief. "Nope he's alright, he insulted both us and his dumb brother at the same time." Damian sighed. His friends were idiots.
