I walk up the stairs and to my apartment. I open my door and see Felicia making out with some dude on the couch. I roll my eyes and have the door slam behind me. They both jump and pull there lips away from each other. "Hey Stel," She says putting her white blonde hair behind her shoulder. She pushes her dude off the couch.

"Oh you don't have to," I stop as she keeps pushing the guy out.

"Uh, I'll call you?" He says. She smiles politely and shakes her head.

"Yeah don't," She says shutting the door. She turns around and sighs looking at me. "How was your first day of school?" She asks with a smile that seems less annoyed than the one she gave her guy.

"It was fine," I say making a cup of hot chocolate in our kitchen. "Why do you bring these guys over if you don't like them?" I ask Felicia. She shrugs.

"I don't judge you and your decisions," Felicia says simply throwing her hair up in a high ponytail.

"I'm not judging you," I say. She raises her eyebrows.

"Good, I'm going out," she says grabbing her big black purse from the doorway. "Don't wait up," She says with a light smile. A phrase a know all too well coming from her. I nod lightly and shake my head as she goes out the door.

"It's amazing that girl hasn't gotten herself pregnant," I say mostly to myself. I sip my cocoa and walk over to the couch. I set the mug down and grab disinfectant spray from the side table spraying the couch more than I should. I sit down and start watching some random tv show that I don't care about this is how I spend most of my nights since Felicia always seems to have something to do. She claims she either works or goes out. I look through the guide and see a documentary about the Avengers and roll my eyes. I shut the tv off and look around sighing loudly. I get up. Maybe I should consider going with her to the club sometime. I'm sure it's more fun than watching tv alone.

I look out the window and sign as I see the bridge to Queens off in the distance. Sometimes I do miss it there, but then I'm reminded of what I was like before and what I'm like now. I'm less popular for sure. Most people don't like the weird girl who had a fit of screaming on her first week of school. That sort of caused me to be claimed as a loser, which really I should've been pitied for a health condition, but I guess New Yorkers are pretty tough and don't care that much. I sigh to myself and watch the city go by. I start to wonder what the world look like from up on the tallest building. "I could," I say to myself. "But, I won't," I add. What was this Frozen 2? I roll my eyes at my own self.

What was I thinking? I can't just go jumping on rooftops. I mean I did do it every now and then throughout school when finals were bad or I had a break up, but I was really trying to cut back. Then why was I crawling out onto the fire escape to start on my roof? I sigh to myself as my feet and body move without my brain wanting it. I smile a bit as I run and jump across rooftops in the city. I stop as I find a nice roof that is able to see every bridge in the city. I have this new thing where it makes me feel safer if I see all 21 at the same time. Make our island feel a little better. As if to get rid of my safety I hear sirens and a large breeze kicks in. The sirens  zoom passed the building I'm sitting on as I hear some footsteps behind me. I turn and look at a large ac unit the hides the other side of the roof. I can hear voices.

"Alright Black Cat," I hear a very familiar voice say. "What'd you do with the painting?" Spider-Man asks. I get up quietly and peak around the corner. Spider-Man has a very attractive girl trapped in some webs around her wrist. She's tallish with white blonde hair high in a ponytail and a black mask around her face with a white and black suit to match. She kind of reminds me of Felicia, but it must be a coincidence. She looks down at her wrist that has her webbed to the brick.

"You know, most guys take me to dinner before tying me up," She says smugly. I try not to gasp out loud. That is Felicia! Why is Spider-Man after Felicia?

"I'm not in the mood for your games today," Spider-Man replies sounding a little annoyed.

"It makes sense that you'd be into it though," Felicia continues ignoring his remark. "I mean you do cover your face I mean it's not your typical rubber man suit but hey it's a start," her smile gets a little bigger showing her extremely white teeth. She really was one of the most beautiful girls I'd ever seen.

"My sexual interest is none of your business," Spider-Man says clearly uncomfortable. Felicia laughs a little.

"Do you want them to be?" She asks her foot getting closer to Spider-Man. I can sense Peter wanting to speak.

"She's playing you idiot!" I think to myself as I watch Felicia glide her foot across to cause Spider-Man to fall. She rips the webs away and jumps up on the air conditioner I'm hiding behind.

"Sorry Spider, this really has been fun. Same time tomorrow? Pick me up at say, the Smithsonian?" Felicia smiles lightly as Spider-Man gets up holding his head a bit as she climbs away basically flying and gliding through the air in a sneaky cat like fashion. I watch her leave as does he. He sighs to what he thinks is himself and takes his mask off. Peter fixes his hair and throws the mask on the ground.

"Damn it," he says angrily leaning on the unit. I look down debating on weather or not to say hi, Why was this always the biggest debate? I decide against it and figure he has better things to do. I want to move but I'm afraid he'll hear me. "Stella," he says suddenly. I jump a little, how does he know I'm here? "Stella I can sense you either come out or go away," he says. He really didn't sound pleased with the encounter. I sigh still debating if I should give in and show myself. "Fine," He says simply. "I got a cat to catch anyway," he says putting the mask back on and swinging quickly away.
