Wild Cat •Peter Parker•

six

It wasn't the first time Blake had gone out late at night. She had waited for Mason and Herb to fall asleep before she climbed out of her window and jumped down to the ground silently, using her cat-like abilities to land in a crouched position. She looked left and right before running down the street, effortlessly dodging past drunks and sobers, some laughing, others walking down the street with no emotion whatsoever. They didn't acknowledge her presence, they didn't even know she was there.

She walked into a store and strolled down the isles, picking up a candy bar and Dr. pepper as she went past. She was nearing the door to leave but she ended up walking into someone, which caused her to become visible in surprise. Her eyebrows furrowed when she saw a red-clad chest in front of her, with a lame spider drawn on the front in black sharpie. She looked up and stifled a laugh at the sight of a red ski mask with what looked like swimming goggles over the top. "And who are you suppose to be? Some kind of spider-man?"

"Something like that" He replied, Slightly nervous. He sounded familiar, but his voice was muffled through his mask. "And who are you?"

"Nobody" She responded, and went to walk past him, but her held out a hand in front of her. She clenched her jaw in irritation. "Move before I make you"

"S-Stealing's a crime you know." He stuttered, Blake scoffed and pushed him away from her. "I'm not letting you leave without paying for that"

"Watch me" She said icily before feeling the familiar feeling of her power wash over her body. She ran out of the store an down the street, turning corners so she wouldn't come across the lame attempt at a hero again.

Finally, she found a secluded spot on top of the Bay-Crest building. She popped open her Dr. Pepper before she sipped it, watching the traffic moving and civilians walking below her. She liked watching things from a distance. She liked seeing how people lived, acted, it was like she had been excused from her own life for a moment to admire other's.

She nibbled at her candy bar and swung her legs carelessly over the side of the building. She was completely immersed in her own little world, and she felt happy.

Well, she did feel happy, until she heard a strange sound behind her. She turned around and saw the man in red from the store before. She rose an eyebrow and placed her drink next to her so she could watch him. She was currently invisible, so she knew she was safe from his eyes.

She smiled as he landed on the building, falling flat on his face. He released a ground and turned to his back in defeat. "Damn it!"

After a moment, he pushed himself up and jumped up and down to hype himself up. Blake watched curiously as he thrust his arm out in front of him. She was intrigued to see a white string like material shoot out of his wrist and hit the ground next to her. She looked down at it and saw an intricate substance, almost like a web of some kind. She looked back up at him and saw that he was now playing with whatever he shot.

She poked it and saw that it was delicate, but also somewhat firm. It was interesting to her. She stood up silently and watched him. He finally looked around and spotted her stuff that she stole.

"I know you're here" He spoke aloud. Blake decided that he was harmless, and become visible in front of him. "Who are you?"He asked, to which she shrugged.

"Nobody, like I told you" She replied as he crossed his arms. "You know, I still don't know who you are either."

"Y-You said it yourself" He responded, trying to play himself off as cool. "I'm Spider-Man."

Blake let herself smirk slightly. "Fine then. They call me Wild Cat"

"Why are you called Wild Ca-"
