"So wait you're dating Cat woman—?" Peter two asked quietly, leaned forward on the science desk.
"—not mj or gwen?" Peter one finished with a whisper.
Her Peter lifted his head with surprise, "Wha- no, me and mj are strictly friends."
"But isn't cat woman like super into gunplay, robberies and double crossing people?"
"Don't forget armed robberies and russian roulette!"
"Hold on, wait, you guys got it all wrong." Peter waved his hands to clarify, "I mean she did kinda sell me out to the Vulture once—"
"Sounds about right." Peter one remarked.
"But she gave all that up for me. For a chance of us. And besides,"
He looked up to see his girl hold up her long braided hair with a hair tie between her lips.
Once she got that out the way, she secured her goggles repairing the lizards stabilising device with a soldering iron. Also sharing offhand banter with MJ that had Ned gaping.
"I really like Seline. I'm like.. really into her." He nodded his brunette hair, expressing as best as he could in his awkward yet loveable manner.
His fingers unknowingly toyed with the ring Aunt may gifted him before her untimely passing.
The peters shared a look.
Once the other-side of the lab, the braided girl turned to the curly haired girl with a 'friendly' smile, passing her the soldering iron.
"Just so you know, Mary-Jane. If you ever think about taking my boyfriend from me, I'll stick my heels so far up your ass and ask you what it tastes like."
MJ narrowed her eyes not shying from the debate, "I'm not surprised he chose you. Spiderman has to be charitable, unfortunately it meant taking in the strays, Seline Kyle." she sneered, screwing in a few bits.
Ned gawked at the exchange holding up his hands, "Wait, Ladies maybe we shouldn't fight—"
Seline cackled lifting up her goggles to her head, "Aww your funny as fuk, forget pete i want you!" Her eyes creasing at the corners as she laughed pulling at her single dimple.
"You're hot." Mj blurted out feeling her cheeks get hot, amusing the newly antihero.
"It's a facade." She brushed off, grabbing the girl's hand with smoothness that caught the light-skin teen off guard.
"Hey, Seline." The girl hummed, responding to Ned after complimenting Mj's black dahlia necklace.
"Peter told me you're a secret nerd." Ned looked up at the girl, clasping his hands together. "Prove it."
She simply tossed him a small tube for him to catch, "That's a pym particle, stolen by me, from ant man in the avengers 'civil war' if you may. It uses subatomic particles to harness energy, magnifying or shrinking an items overall atomic mass before doing it on a physical level. Harnessing it, along with vibranium also makes heists or i guess fighting crime, a breeze"
She lifted her sleek gloves from the table to show her claws were made from said material, looking between the two with a serious look in her eyes.
"Before i go further, what do you know about quantum physics..?"
Peter watched with a fond and dopey smile on his lips, ".. yeah, she's amazing."
With the battle with the peter's villains taking up-till the early morning it was only in the destruction the group all reunited.
"Are you guys okay?" Their peter wrapped his arms around MJ and Ned, feeling them nod. The two overall unharmed except for a cut on MJ's forehead.
"You're bleeding." his thumb pad brushed over the cut, with girl reassuring him she was fine.
"Have you seen, Seline? Is she okay?" He asked with slight panic.
"Yeah she's good. She's with Doctor strange, wow that feels weird to day." Ned pointed over at the girl, who handed over his sling ring after trapping the magician in mirror domain with her boyfriend earlier.
"Seline!" He called out to her, getting her attention as she turned in his direction. The couple acted on impulse stumbling towards each other after a tiring battle.
They met in an embrace, where the boys arms curled around her waist. His head dug into her neck. Her arms around his neck, fingers running through his hair tenderly. Their breathing in sync like they finally found their rhythm.
"I'm so glad you're safe." She closed her eyes in relief.
"I was so worried about you, you know?" He expressed hugging her close, "I'm not holding you too tight, am I?"
She shook her head, wishing to melt into him. "No, it's perfect." her voice slightly shook with overwhelming dread. "Peter, If we had that chance, the one we spoke about, to leave all this behind. All this fighting, and conflict. I would."
"You can, I'll fix this I promise. We'll get strange to fix the spell and—"
"No, Peter, With you. I won't leave without you. It's either us or it's nothing." She pulled back to look at him. Her hands caressing his face with so much profound love.
Her eyes softened at the sight of her love. His lips tugged at the sight of her despair, thumb working a shape into her suit that only made her stomach churn.
"It's always going to be us. When he fixes the spell, I'll come find you like i always do. We'll be Cat and Spider, and fall in love all over again."
She slowly shook her head, "I want to meet you as Seline, Peter. Cry, laugh, struggle please let it be ours."
Their foreheads leaned against each-other as he promised, "It will be." His hand moulding around hers, compensating.
"I love you always, Peter."
And Peter parker was no longer known.
The following month, the brunette strolled into a coffee shop with nervousness stiffening his every step. MJ behind the counter conversing with an older customer lightly.
She turned, her brown hair swept out of her face and into a low messy bun. Peter stilled thinking she was waving at him, only for Ned to slide past heading to his usual seat.
The girl greeted him with an easy smile, "One sec," She turned back to her customer.
He stepped up, "Hi, I'm Peter Parker and I..would like a coffee, please." His words dying on his tongue as did his hope seeing how happy they were.
MJ sniffed in amusement, "'Kay, no problem Peter Parker." She shuffled around, providing her Filipino friend with a dessert.
"Doughnut for my fellow engineer." They conversed about the school they were accepted into, the boy only watching with longing as he was served his coffee.
Maybe somethings were better without him.
Days later, the teen had finally gathered his things moving into his apartment after meddling with door for a bit.
He set up his wardrobe and put things together. It was still empty, but it was now home so he had to make do.
Now all he was forgetting was food. He ran his hands down his face watching EV set up system preferences through his fingers, before getting up and throwing on a coat and hat.
The door shut behind him as he pocketed his keys, patting his coat for his wallet and searching up Delmar's deli on maps.
His shoulder accidentally bumped someone, with his mouth parting to spew multiple apologies but was left speechless.
The girl he bumped into had her head stuck in a book, brown and blonde french curls complimenting her soft face. Her cheeks light in complexion due to the cold but still brushed with its warm brown tone.
"..Cat got your tongue?" she finally looked up at him, with a teasing smile on her face.
He let out a weak laugh, "Was that a cat-joke?"
"I know, I'm sorry," she apologised with a light giggle, "It was that bad, huh?"
"It was— really bad." He chuckled, his eyes filled with so much admiration as she rebutted, "Hey, I could've been real mean about you bumping into me."
"Yeah, that's my bad. I'm sorry." He watched her take a step forward and felt he had to make the moment last longer,
She halted holding up the thick book, "Huh, oh the book. I wish. it's the 'Revised guide to advanced biomechanics.'" recited grandly from the front cover.
"Oh no way, I'm on that book too." He lied watching her lips tug in amusement.
"Mhm, what's your favourite part?"
"I don't know.. maybe the part where i got to know your name..?" He tried with a hand on the nape of his neck.
"You're the worst." was said with no real fire behind it, the two laughed at the obvious attempt.
"It's cute, but now imagine i had a boyfriend." She voiced which made his quirk a brow casually despite the churn of his stomach.
"Do.. you have a boyfriend?"
She played with the ring on her finger subconsciously, "..nope." popping the p, which made him sigh in relief, brown eyes lingering on the gold band.
"So If i asked you to go to maybe eat sometime?" He walked over to the elevator with her.
"I'd be up to it, neighbour. I'm just upstairs, number 32B." She clicked the button to haul the elevator for him.
His eyes widened, "You live here?"
"As of last month, yeah." she pursed her lips, "Left my aunts place in harlem, to do my own thing. Just got a job at the hospital as a student." she held up the book.
"I'm so proud of you." came out his mouth before he could register it, the girl reeled back with confusion, ".. You are?"
It finally clicked with him and he nodded slow, "Sorry, I meant like that's huge—! You know? what.. uh what were you doing before?"
She grimaced thinking about her old profession, and the call she got from the supposed new leader about 'doing good small potato' stuff'.
"Enterprising. It was very unconventional, but something told me I could do a lot better for myself, so i did." She nodded feeling a flutter in her stomach as the young adult smiled at her with something unspoken in his eyes.
The elevator opened and he stepped in, with the girl staying by the wall. "What college do you go to?"
"ESU, it's not MIT or anything but it's got my course."
"I go there too, you know when I'm not working." she smiled before seeing the doors start to close.
"I'm Seline, by the way. Seline Kyle."
The boy felt winded hearing her say her name, on the other side of the closed doors.
The black girl witnessed the familiar look on his face before turning away and sighing with the end of the conversation.
Fingers pried the metal doors open, with a grunt effort let out which made the girl turn on her heel.
"Oh my God, did you just pry that open?" She looked incredulously at him.
"Yeah, I never told you my name." He breathed out.
She perked up and he introduced himself , "Hi Seline Kyle.. I'm Peter Parker, do you wanna go grab some food, like now?"
"I would like that a lot, Peter Parker."
