Black Cat ✔️

Chapter 4 - "What was that about 'James Merrowoff can do it all, hunny!"

They all piled into her Step Fathers Porsche, usually there wouldn't be any room at the back. But he had added a little space in mechanically so they all fit in perfectly and they weren't like sardines.

They all piled out the car. "Bye dad, bye Felicia!" Both James and Jared chorused together before they walked off to go meet their friends and she got back in the car.

Her step father then began to drive to their destination. The whole ride was quiet, except for the music in the car. Once they stopped they both got out of the car and looked at the building before them.

It was very big and grand, it was also made of white stone and the windows were crystal clear. They walked in and what she saw immediately brought a smile to her face. There were rows and rows of cats before her. "I believe we have the place to ourselves, so you can choose a cat!" He told her.

"Really?" She asked him with a smile.

"Yeah, go ahead!" He told her gesturing to the whole room. She smiled before she went to look for a cat. As she walked down the isles cats would come up as far as they could, almost as if they knew she was a friendly.

She walked through the rows and rows of cats, past black ones, white ones and ginger ones. After about five minutes of looking, a cat caught her eye.

It fully white and had bright green eyes. Though it had markings around its eyes almost as if it was wearing a mask. "I found one!" She called out through the building, seconds later her step father came round the corner with a man she recognised, it was the man that saved her from the burning house, it was Captain America.

She knew what happened recently, The battle of Sokovia. Her two dear friends were part of it, Pietro and Wanda Maximoff. Unfortunately, Pietro died, but he died a hero, which made her happy.

"It's cute!" Her step father told her.

She nodded with a bright smile. "I know. I think I may call her Athena!" She told him and the cat looked up at her almost as if in glee.

"Great, now go choose another!" He told her.

"What?" She asked him confused.

"Go choose another cat. You're having two!" He told her.

"Really?" She asked her eyebrows raising slightly.

"Yeah!" He nodded as she picked Athena up and began to look for another cat. She let the cat choose which other cat it wanted to live with.

They were walking when suddenly the cat licked her arm and she stopped and looked to the cat to her left and saw a similar cat. Though the cat was fully black and had white markings around its eyes almost as if it was wearing a mask. She guessed they were sisters.

"Found it!" She called out again and he came round the corner now on his own. "I think I'll call her Harley." They then went to go buy the cats and what was needed for the cats.

When her brothers came back home she saw they were both sporting bruised knuckles and their uniform was a bit messed up. She quickly got up and walked over to them.

"My god, what happened?" She asked them taking both their hands in her hands and inspecting them.

"Well, we went to go get your homework like the very good brothers we are, when we were walking down the isle, this boy, your ex, Flash was talking about you to this boy. We overheard a bit, the boy was trying to tell him that it was wrong to say this all, but he wouldn't listen. So, we began to hit him!" James told her with a small shrug.

"What was he saying?" She asked.

"We heard both mean, and sexual stuff. Stuff I don't want to hear about my sister ever again!" Jared told her. She kissed them both on the forehead.

"You didn't have to do that!" She told them.

"We did!" James and Jared shivered.

"Where are mom and dad?" She asked, she then realised she called him 'dad'.

"Having a talk with your principal!" James told her. "Can we ask you a question?"

"Sure!" She nodded.

"Did you ever, you know, with him?" Jared asked her.

She scoffed. "Of course not! He'd like to think and say that I did. But I didn't. I'm disgusted that you had to ask, you really think I'd fuck the likes of him!" She said turning her back on her brothers.

"Mother asked us to ask you, to start cooking some pasta!" Jared called after her. She spun on her heel and headed in the opposite direction for the kitchen to start making the pasta for everyone. Everybody in the household knew the best person that can cook pasta, is her.

"But I can cook it!" James said handing her his bag and going into the kitchen. She stopped him by his wrist.

"Can you even cook?" She asked him.

"James Merrowoff can do it all, hunny!" He said before he went into the kitchen. She sat on her seat, waiting for him to freak out.

After a few minutes she hear very high pitched and loud screaming from the kitchen. She walked in and saw the pan on fire. She looked at him unimpressed and grabbed a tea towel and walked towards the pan and dropped the tea towel over it, the flames instantly disappearing.

"What was that about 'James Merrowoff can do it all, hunny'?" She asked him with a raised brow and her arms crossed over her chest.

"I'll just, Erm, leave and leave you to cook!" He said before he rushed out of the room. She looked into the pan and her brows furrowed.

"Pasta, James. Fucking pasta, not goddamn oats!" She yelled after him in frustration. She then began to boil the pasta and walked over to the cupboards, to see if there was any sauce.

When she was almost done Jared came in holding a letter. He handed it to her and her mother came in to take over the cooking. She went to her room after feeding her cats and opened the letter.

She rolled her eyes, she had to eat then get dressed. She hated it when they sprung it upon her suddenly.
