(Y/n) (L/n) was not supposed to be the Black Cat.

She was supposed to be a young educator, wanting to change the system from the inside. But after a close friend gets into trouble, she decides to lend a helping hand in the best way she could. If that meant becoming a highly skilled thief for the past two years, that is what she would do.

Things start to get more complicated when she meets Miguel O'Hara, an attractive young geneticist she meets after an incident at a coffee shop. Even from the start, things are complicated as secret lives remain secret and in the way.

I do not own Marvel or Spider-Man 2099. All rights go to their respective owners.
This is a Fem!reader x Miguel O'Hara story. I will be using she/her pronouns.

You don't have to have watched "Across the Spider-Verse" to enjoy this story. For context, this is set way before any of the events of the Spider-Verse movies have occurred.
There will be some violence, steamy scenes, romance, and angst. Don't say I didn't warn you.
