Two fingers tap the side of his head three times. With a mechanical whir his mask retracts back, deep into his suit. Breeze hits his bare face, hair blowing ever so slightly. He tells himself it’s so her luck can’t mess with his vision. But maybe he just wants to see her with his own eyes, without oppressive heat and one way glass between them. She’d seen him before. Never a name to match, but to be quite honest? He didn’t think she minded much. Names were complicated. Getting her to admit she even had one besides Black Cat was a tougher task than catching her, most of the time.Good thing they were both hypocrites, otherwise she would’ve called him out far too long ago. “Awe, if you want it so much I can let you borrow one. I’ve got quite a few. This is actually the least impressive. Didn’t think I’d need much for you.” He’s just the tiniest lying. And perhaps even bragging? Not that he’d admit it. No, he knew he couldn’t bring any of his fancy toys. Honestly thought about bringing his homemade suit with him instead of this. Probably should have. Shouldn’t get so caught up in impressing common thieves. Only lead to potential problems down the line.The less he had on him, the less she could use on him. “There is no fun here, Fee. Fun is bowling. Fun is spending time with people you like. That’s what I never liked about you. There’s no fun on either side of the law. Of morality.” His mind jolts a little. He’s reminded of Thanos. Waxing poetically over the whimsicality of universal genocide. These types were really all cut from the same cloth, weren’t they? He knew well enough to realize she was trying to get a rise out of him. His body just didn’t seem to want to catch on. Could feel his heart beat just the tiniest bit faster. “Oh believe me. Nothing gets me going more than seeing a criminal in the back of a squad car. “ Tries his best to fire back at her. And… she’s gone. Challenging him to boot. Some things never change. Running start leads into a big leap. Can feel his hair blowing, wind smacking into his face. The lights below shine bright, and he has to shut his eyes. Disadvantages of going maskless. Everything else was far too sensitive. He flips in the air, landing in front of Felicia with a dull thud. At an in pass yet again. He doesn’t hesitate to make a move, however. Sends a web to her foot. Something small. Just enough to pass under her powers radar. Not big enough to cause her any trouble. Balls in her court again. “We really don’t have to do this.” He’s almost pleading with her. Even if he’s mostly loving every second.
There’s a freedom in the way it feels, the wind whipping white blonde strands about her face. The shivers it induces. Not so much caused by him so much as the thrill he seemed to cause. She always loved that part. It’s disorienting to see the same face from five years ago. Even if it's a brief glance, she can’t quite hold. There’s a lot of emotion in it and she’d rather not dwell on those nasty things right now. She doesn’t know the name but his almost comforting to see the face. Names were a commodity she could do without. MAde things personal and hurt worse. So she’d never ask, though it did make her itch to know. What would he really be hiding? She supposes it’s better left unsaid for now.
“Ohh keep talking, you’re getting me all hot and bothered just thinking about how expensive that must be.” She pauses to laugh. “You’re nose is growing, Spider.” She’s calling his bluff. She’d certainly worn her best suit in hopes that the newly returned neighborhood hero would come slinging her way. But now that he’s taunting it, dangling that string before her face, she needs to teach him a lesson. Strut her stuff wearing one of those fancy suits aught to do the trick. It’s a devilish plan forming in her head that fades most of what he’s saying out. Something about morality. Law. No fun. Well, he’s got that right. “Can’t blame a girl for looking out for herself, now can you?”
“Should definitely get that looked at. Though I’d care to wager, it’s not the only thing to get you good and going now is it?” First-hand knowledge was hard to beat and her best ploy. She’s moving along the roofing as swiftly as possible. It feels far too easy, and yet she’s doing that on purpose. Giving him a chance to catch up. It’s the thrill of it all, but the small glimpses with him now that seem to settle against her leather-clad skin. She skids to a stop careful not to barrel into him. But the distance is small, easily crossed. “Oh, but I think we do.” It’s a seductive whisper because she knows they could be doing other things in other places, but she doesn’t say that. That ship. Crashed and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. She rolls her eyes. Webbing was a nasty thing to wash out, a nuisance more than a deterrent. A little maneuvering of her hand and slice of her claw, the sticky solution was always a pain in her ass to get rid of, she’s wiggling her foot free the trendles still dangling from it here and there. She moves with feline grace, body beside him, finger drawing along with the symbol in his chest. “Don’t pretend you’re not loving this. Consider it my welcome back present,” her voice dropped into a husky purr, “from me to you.” Her lips are close, each syllable produced for clarity and effect punctuating her meaning, but she pulls back hoping to leave him dumbfounded. Her favorite look on a male to date. Without thinking she’s moving around him, the rush of adrenaline pushing her on as the click click click of her newest toy beeps from where her hand had been.
