Summary: With Felicia's anxiety regarding the recent attacks, Miguel takes her out to destress, but ends up going way worse then he hoped.
co-author: @jedijesi
A/N: Been a while... whoops... anyhow, its almost the one year anniversary of CCW
“What are you doing?” Miguel sighs, finding Felicia pacing around the living room in the early hours of the morning.
“Thinking.” She sternly replies, her brows knit together as she mumbles to herself.
He sighs and enters the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee. He already knows there's no chance of them going back to sleep. After fixing his cup, he settles down in the arm chair, watching Felicia, his head moving as if he were watching a tennis match.
“Alright, what’s going on.” Miguel’s free hand reaches out to grab her arm, pulling her to sit on his lap.
Felicia huffs in frustration, “I’m trying to figure out who’s stealing the tech. At first I thought we had been infiltrated by someone who didn’t have powers, but we would have sensed that. So, it has to be a Spider-Person. Unless… It's Margo Kess. We can’t sense anything about her, she's a projection. It would make sense, but what's her motive-”
Miguel pulls her closer, “You're spiraling.” He whispers, pressing a kiss to her temple.
Felicia looks at him with eyes full of sorrow. “In New York, I could easily pin which villain committed a crime or did the heist, but this… There are thousands- maybe millions of us. It’s going to get more dangerous, I can’t just sleep comfortably at night knowing they’ll make their next move at any moment.”
“I know,” he sighs. “I’ll tell you what,” Miguel rubs his hand up and down her arm. “Let’s have a lazy morning. Then you get changed into something special, there’s an event in New York tonight you’ll like.”
Felicia narrows her eyes at him. “What event?”
“You’ll see.” He smirks.
—————————————
Their destination remained a mystery, right up until Miguel swung them to a smooth stop across from the grand entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The towering stone columns and sprawling steps gleamed under the city lights. Felicia raised an intrigued eyebrow, her lips curving into a smile as she noticed the banners promoting a small charity event inside.
Miguel offered his arm, and together they strolled through the museum’s grand halls, the rhythmic click of Felicia’s heels echoing on the polished marble floors. He wore a sleek black suit, perfectly tailored to his muscular frame, and she, draped in her favorite black dress, looked effortlessly stunning. Heads turned as they passed, but neither of them noticed, lost in their own world.
As they moved through the exhibits, Felicia’s eyes gleamed, a spark of joy lighting her face. Her love for art came alive in these moments. She pointed out paintings, sculptures, and tapestries, sharing little-known stories and fascinating bits of history with a passion that left him captivated. He listened, but more than the art itself, he was mesmerized by her—by the way her face lit up with every piece she described, her voice soft but animated, as though the weight of the world had slipped off her shoulders.
For the first time in a long while, she wasn’t burdened by their complicated lives or the ever-present threat of another attack. Here, among priceless works of art, she was free. And Miguel? He didn’t care about the paintings—at least not in the way she did. His focus remained on her, soaking in the way she looked tonight. He silently vowed that he’d do whatever it took to keep her in this state of happiness.
They paused in front of a particularly striking painting of a woman—rich, dark hues layered with golden accents, the brushstrokes alive with movement. Miguel squinted at it, something about it felt oddly familiar, pulling at the corners of his memory.
“Why does this one look so famili-” He broke off mid-sentence, his eyes catching the word “Reproduction” on the small brass plaque below the frame. He blinked, and the pieces snapped together in his mind. He turned to Felicia, whose lips were now caught between her teeth, a guilty look in her eyes as she avoided his gaze.
“Gatita,” Miguel began, a teasing edge in his voice, “you have this exact painting in your apartment.” He raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. “Wanna share how that happened?”
Felicia groaned, “Alright, fine!” She let out a frustrated whisper, unable to stop a small smile creeping up. “I stole it, okay? A few years back.” She gave a dramatic sigh. “You happy now?”
Miguel chuckled, shaking his head, though amusement danced in his eyes. “So, let me get this straight,” he mused, leaning closer to whisper in her ear. “They had to get a copy because you’ve got the real deal hanging in your apartment?”
Felicia shot him a sideways look, clearly trying to deflect. “Perhaps,” she said with a shrug, already turning on her heel to walk away, hoping to slip out of the conversation. “You better not be mad, ‘cause that was forever ago, and I haven’t stolen anything in—”
Before she could finish her sentence, Miguel’s hand shot out, gently grabbing her wrist and pulling her back toward him. In one smooth motion, he wrapped his strong arms around her from behind, holding her close. “Hey, hey, hey… relajate, gatita,” he whispered softly into her ear, his voice like velvet. “I’m not mad at you.”
Felicia let out a long, slow breath as she melted into his chest, the tension unraveling from her body. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as she tilted her head slightly back to look at him. “Good,” she murmured, a playful spark returning to her eyes, “because I’m not giving it back.”
—----------------
Felicia’s gaze lingered on a statue, her eyes tracing the intricate marble curves and exquisite craftsmanship. The statue’s delicate form seemed almost alive under the soft museum lighting, and for a moment, Felicia let herself get lost in its beauty.
“Ugh,” she sighed softly, crossing her arms. “I’ve always wanted this one. I planned a heist and everything.” She rolled her eyes. “Got my stupid powers right before I planned it and, suddenly, I felt too guilty to do it.”
Miguel turned to her, his brow raised with a playful gleam in his eye. His gaze briefly dropped to the delicate string of pearls around her neck, fingers brushing the smooth, lustrous surface as he teased, “Yeah? And these pearls? They seem new. You sure you’re the saint you claim to be?”
Felicia shot him a mischievous look as she turned, leading them into the next gallery. “What can I say? Old habits die hard.” Her smirk widened, but before she could finish the thought, she accidentally bumped into someone walking by.
“Oops! Sorry ‘bout tha—" Her voice faltered as she looked up, her words turning cold as recognition hit her like a punch to the gut. Staring back at her with those all-too-familiar, vibrant emerald eyes was none other than MJ Watson.
"Oh!" MJ’s eyes lit up, though her smile was laced with a smugness that made Felicia’s jaw clench. “Felicia.”
“MJ.” Felicia’s tone turned sharp, the warmth draining from her expression. Her previously apologetic demeanor vanished as quickly as it had come.
Miguel stiffened beside her, instantly recognizing the shift in Felicia’s posture. His eyes flicked between the two women, his body unconsciously moving closer to Felicia in a protective stance, though he remained outwardly calm.
MJ’s grin widened, clearly relishing in the awkwardness. “You’re looking better since I last saw you,” she commented, her faux-cheerful tone doing little to mask the passive-aggression beneath her words.
Felicia didn’t miss a beat. “Wish I could say the same for you,” she shot back, her voice dripping with venom as she gave a mock frown, eyes scanning MJ up and down.
MJ’s smile faltered, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. But before she could respond, she threw out another blow. “Petey’s around here somewhere,” MJ said in a sing-song voice, waving her hand nonchalantly. “I’ll call him over. It’ll be like a cute little reunion, won’t it?”
Felicia’s jaw clenched, a flash of panic behind her cold exterior. “That’s not necessary,” she replied firmly, her voice sharp, almost pleading.
Before the tension could thicken any further, Miguel, sensing Felicia’s discomfort, spoke up, his deep voice calm but decisive. “We actually have to go,” he said, scanning the crowded gallery for a quick exit. He wasn’t keen on this situation escalating.
But MJ wasn’t listening. “Nonsense!” she chirped, waving into the crowd. “Petey! Come over here!” Her voice carried through the gallery, and Miguel’s hand instinctively tightened around Felicia’s, offering silent reassurance as she tensed beside him.
Seconds later, the crowd parted, and Peter Parker emerged. His easy smile fell the moment his eyes landed on the scene in front of him. He looked first at MJ’s smiling face, then at Felicia, whose eyes had turned into steel, and finally at Miguel. Peter’s shock was almost comical as his gaze lingered on Miguel, struggling to process what he was seeing.
Peter’s mind raced, trying to make sense of it. Miguel O’Hara—his boss—was here, standing next to Felicia in a suit instead of his classic blue and red molecule suit. His hair, normally disheveled from his Spider-Man mask, was styled casually, letting his dark curls frame his face. But what truly stood out was his towering height—6 feet, 9 inches of pure, intimidating presence. He’s known no one that had this tall and demanding presence—except Miguel.
“There you are, Petey!” MJ’s voice cut through the tension, her usual bright cheer masking the awkwardness as she skipped over, grabbing Peter’s hand with casual ease.
Felicia’s irritation was evident in the sharpness of her tone as she tried to brush past him. “Yeah, hi, we gotta go,” she snapped, her eyes narrowing, ready to flee this uncomfortable situation.
But before she could move, Peter’s hand shot out, gripping her arm just enough to stop her in her tracks. Felicia froze, her eyes flashing in surprise, and for a split second, Miguel’s blood ran cold. His eyes darkened, turning a glowing shade of red, and his fangs—normally hidden—began to push through, his primal instincts threatening to take over. The sheer audacity of Peter touching her had every protective instinct in Miguel firing on all cylinders.
Peter quickly released his hold, his eyes darting nervously to Miguel’s now predatory gaze. The flash of fear was unmistakable, but instead of backing down, Peter’s signature mischief kicked in. His lips curled into a sly grin, a glint of faux innocence shining in his eyes as the situation suddenly clicked in his mind. “No way!” Peter exclaimed, his tone feigning surprise. “This must be the ‘new lover’ Aunt May was talking about.”
Felicia’s expression hardened, her patience already thin. She glared at Peter, silently daring him to keep pushing. Before either she or Miguel could respond, MJ, always one to steer the conversation, cut them off with a chipper, “Wait, Petey, does Felicia know?”
Now it was Peter’s turn to falter, his cool façade cracking as MJ’s words caught him off guard. “Oh, um, well—”
“We’re married!” MJ declared excitedly, holding up her left hand triumphantly, the gold band glinting under the museum’s soft lights. She clasped Peter’s hand, flashing both rings with a satisfied smile, clearly enjoying her moment.
Felicia’s stomach twisted, an uncomfortable knot forming as she processed the news. 8 months ago, she and Peter were together and happy, but now… married? The word echoed bitterly in her mind. “Wow,” she muttered, her voice flat and devoid of the typical sarcasm. It was more a word spoken out of shock than any true reaction.
Miguel, sensing the emotional storm brewing inside Felicia, tried to defuse the situation. “Congrats, but we really should go,” he interjected, his tone clipped and direct as he reached for Felicia’s hand, eager to whisk her away from the past that clearly still haunted her. But Felicia didn’t move.
Her eyes locked onto Peter’s, searching for answers. “When did you two tie the knot?” she demanded, her voice steely but calm, though the hurt beneath it was evident to anyone paying attention.
Peter shifted uncomfortably under her gaze, his usual confidence faltering. “Uh…”
“Three months ago!” MJ chimed in, far too gleeful for the situation. She turned to Peter, practically glowing as she looked up at him with adoration. “Can you believe it? We hadn’t dated since high school, but somehow, fate brought us back together. We reunited, and… well, our love was just so powerful, he couldn’t wait to marry me.” She beamed, squeezing Peter’s hand as if sealing the statement with a gesture of affection.
Felicia’s jaw tightened, her teeth grinding in silent fury as she watched Peter squirm, clearly uncomfortable with MJ’s overly enthusiastic retelling of their whirlwind romance. Her mind raced. Less than a year after their breakup, he was already married. Married. It felt surreal. She swallowed down the bitter taste of betrayal, eyes still boring into Peter.
“Must be a canon event,” Felicia muttered under her breath, the words slipping out before she could stop them. The sarcasm was thick, masking her pain with biting wit.
MJ blinked, clearly not understanding the reference. “Huh?”
“Nothing, just seems like a real-life love story,” Felicia replies, her voice thick with irony as she eyes Peter and MJ, her lips curling into a sardonic smirk. “Look at you, keeping secrets from Aunt May.”
Peter huffs, crossing his arms. “She’d never approve.”
Felicia scoffs, the derisive sound escaping her lips before she can stop it. “I wonder why.”
Before the tension could build further, MJ, seemingly oblivious or uncaring to Felicia’s rising irritation, giggles with a saccharine enthusiasm that makes Felicia’s skin crawl. “Well… we’ll tell her after we give her grandbabies.”
Felicia’s eyes widened, her stomach churning at MJ’s words. “Grandbabies! Wow!” She feigns an over-the-top gasp, her hand dramatically flying to her chest as her voice drips with mock excitement. “I thought you didn’t want kids, Peter. Always said it was too dangerous.”
MJ’s eyes narrowed slightly, her voice taking on a condescending tone as she interjected with a bright smile. “Well, Felicia, some people grow up and realize what truly matters in life. Maybe one day, you’ll figure that out too.”
Felicia’s jaw clenches, her hand balling into a fist as her patience finally begins to unravel.
“Or perhaps its the matter of the right person.” MJ smirks.
Felicia was mere seconds away from launching a biting retort, her heart hammering in her chest. But before the words can escape her lips, Miguel’s voice cuts through the tension like a blade.
“Alright,” Miguel says smoothly, his tone firm and authoritative as he steps in, placing a protective hand on Felicia’s lower back. “We best be going. See you at work, Peter.” His crimson eyes briefly flicker toward Peter, narrowing just enough to send a shiver of unease down Peter’s spine. Miguel’s gaze was cold, calculated, carrying the silent message: Don’t push her any further.
Peter nods quickly, clearly eager to avoid further confrontation. “Yeah, uh, we should go too, MJ.”
The two women exchange one last icy glare, the silent battle of wills raging between them, before Miguel gently but firmly takes Felicia by the hand and begins to lead her away from the couple. His grip is steady, offering silent reassurance as they navigate through the crowd together.
As they slip through the backdoor, the cool night air hits Miguel’s face, cutting through the tension that had clung to him like a second skin. He feels it eases, only slightly. But Felicia… Felicia is still a storm of fury, her body radiating barely contained anger. He tosses off his suit jacket and rolls up his sleeves, knowing they’re too restricting. Then he takes her by the waist as his web shooters materialize on his wrists. The webs shoot out of his wrists like a red bolt of lighting. He swings them through the city before stopping, finding themselves atop the black and gold American Radiator Building, the cityscape sprawling before them.
“Fuck!” Felicia lets out a raw, frustrated groan, pacing to the edge of the rooftop, her heels clicking against the concrete with each furious step. “That son of a bitch!” Her voice quakes with emotion. “He’s found the perfect woman to spend the rest of his shitty life with. Those two fuckers deserve each other!”
Miguel watches in silence, his chest tight. He’s used to Felicia’s fire, her venom, but there’s something deeper in her words tonight—a wound that runs too deep for simple anger. She moves to the ledge, her power surging as she sticks to the side of the building. With a cat-like grace, she dangles from the edge, looking down at the blur of people below, tiny ants scurrying through their insignificant lives.
He walks to the edge to look down at her. “Whatcha doing?”
“I’ve never been up here before. Thought I’d check out the view.” She shrugs, her voice distant.
He walks to the ledge, gazing down at her, his heart beating faster. He can’t stick to walls the way she can, so his web-shooters hum to life again. A thin, electric-red web shoots out, wrapping securely around a nearby spire as he lowers himself next to her.
From this angle, the city glows like a distant galaxy, its golden lights shimmering against the dark canvas of the night. “It’s beautiful from here,” Miguel says quietly, his voice layered with meaning. He looks at her, hoping for some kind of response, but she remains silent, her eyes focused far beyond the civilians below.
Minutes pass like hours, the silence thick and heavy. And then, finally, she speaks, her voice breaking through the quiet like a confession.
“I wish Peter and MJ didn’t get under my skin the way they do,” she whispers, her voice raw with vulnerability. “They know exactly how to hurt me.” A tear slips down her cheek, catching the faint light, shimmering like a raindrop before falling into the darkness below. “You’re the one goddamn thing I genuinely care about, and Peter’s gonna strip it away from me.”
Her words hang in the air, sharp and jagged. Another tear falls, and this time, she swipes at it furiously. “God, this is so fucking stupid,” she growls, frustration thick in her voice. “The last thing I ever wanted was for him to have control over my life again.”
Miguel exhales, his heart aching for her. He moves closer, his hand gently tilting her chin so she’s forced to meet his gaze. Her eyes, usually fierce and defiant, are softer now, haunted by a pain she rarely lets show.
“Felicia,” he murmurs, his thumb brushing against her jawline, “you forget who you’re dating.” His lips twitch into a small, reassuring smile. “I’m the leader of the Spider Society, remember? Peter Parker’s nothing to me. An ant.” His voice deepens, the warmth of his touch grounding her. “I created the Spider Society. I built the technology that lets me travel across dimensions—just to be with you. Your pathetic ex isn’t going to change that. Not now, not ever.”
“An ant?” she scoffs, though there’s less bite in her voice now. “You don’t get it, Miguel. ” She runs a hand over her hair, pushing it back as if she’s trying to push away the memories. “He’s not just my ex. He’s this… constant reminder of everything I thought I wanted. And everything I couldn’t have.”
She turns, staring out at the city again. “Peter and MJ—they’re like this stupid fairytale I kept chasing. The hero and his perfect girl. And me? I was just the villain. The cat burglar turned hero… the other girl.”
Her voice cracks slightly, betraying her. She clenches her fists, digging her nails into her palms. “But now, you come along and tell me none of that matters. That I matter. And part of me wants to believe you, but…” She pauses, biting her lip hard enough to taste blood. “But what if he’s right? What if I’m always gonna be second place to someone like her? I mean, out of all the universes, I’m the only Felicia who’s ever become a ‘hero’... You know how many looks I get from the other Spider-people? Even in all the other universes, I’m considered a villain.”
Felicia spins back to face him, her eyes blazing with a mix of frustration and fear. “I don’t need to be saved, Miguel. I never did. I just—I don’t know how to stop feeling like he’s already won, like I can control my future and not be stuck in this cycle of shit.”
She swallows hard, her expression softening as she looks at him. “But you… You make me want to try. And that scares the hell out of me.” She scoffs at the absurdity.
There’s a long silence as her words hang between them. The tears she fought so hard to hold back slip through the cracks again, but this time she doesn’t wipe them away. Instead, she steps closer to him, resting her forehead against his chest. “You’re the only thing keeping me from falling apart right now,” she whispers, her voice barely audible.
Slowly, Miguel raises his hand to her cheek, gently brushing away a stray tear with the back of his fingers. His touch is warm, unhurried, as if he’s grounding her, pulling her away from the swirling storm in her mind.
“You’re not second to anyone, Felicia,” he says, his voice low and steady, each word carrying weight. “You never were.” He cups her face, tilting her head slightly so that her eyes meet his again. The way he looks at her is intense—like she’s the only thing that matters in this moment, and nothing else exists outside of it.
“I didn’t cross universes to be with you because I pity you. I did it because I- I… need you.” His thumb strokes her cheek, slow and deliberate. “You don’t have to chase after anyone’s idea of happiness. You’re not some villain in someone else’s story. You’re everything I want—right here, right now.”
The vulnerability in her eyes flickers, but there’s something else now too. The doubt that had gripped her begins to unravel, replaced by a fragile but growing sense of belief. She searches his face, trying to find any cracks in his words, but all she sees is sincerity.
Miguel leans in, his lips brushing lightly against her forehead—a soft, lingering kiss, as if he’s sealing his words into her skin. Then, his hand slides to the back of her neck, pulling her closer, their bodies flush against each other. His breath is warm against skin.
There’s a pause as he pulls back just enough to look into her eyes again. The tension between them shifts—no longer heavy with pain but charged with something else, something deeper.
Unable to hold back the flood of feelings and pent up tension, Felicia leaps forward, wrapping her arms around his neck, bringing him into a kiss. Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Miguel’s initial surprise gives way to a rush of desire. He responds eagerly, his arm encircling her waist as he pulls her close.
It doesn’t take long for the kiss to become heated. Miguel hastily pushes her against the building, finding footing in the golden ledge of the architecture. He groans into the kiss. She moans as his lips move to her jaw and then her neck. “You’re mine.”
Felicia hitches her leg around Miguel’s waist in an attempt to grind onto his cock that strains against his slacks. His hand moves to cup her ass, lifting her in his arms to grind into her clothed core.
“Fuck.” He groans. “I want you.”
“Please, Mig.” Felicia gasps, feeling him grind perfectly into her clit.
“I wanna taste your pussy.” He tugs her dress up.
Felicia’s eyes widened in surprise. “H-Here?”
“I can’t wait. I need it.” His eyes began to glow red with lust taking over.
Her heart began to race in anticipation. “O-Okay.”
Miguel extended the web, leaning back so he was parallel with the ground. “Sit on my face.”
“That's gonna be uncomfortable for you-” Suddenly, Miguel’s free hand grabs her waist, pulling her up and onto his chest.
His claws extend and rip her panties under her dress. Felicia gasps in surprise but it quickly turns into a moan as he leans his head up, attaching his lips to her clit.
“O-Oh, fuuuck.”
Miguel groaned, lapping her dripping pussy up. He loved worshiping her body. He loved the way she melted with just a flick of his tongue. “Such a good girl.” He mumbles into her pussy, the vibrations of his deep voice simulating her more.
Felicia’s eyes roll back, with all the pent up stress she's been having for the past several days, she needed to cum.
Miguel smirked at the way her legs quivered around his face and how her fingers tugged at his hair. As her moans grew louder, his mouth moved faster. She was getting close and he wasn’t going to stop until she was screaming for him.
His tongue trades off between flicking her swollen clit and delving into her throbbing cunt. Her taste and whimpers only made Miguel’s cock harder, straining against his slacks. If he wasn’t using his other hand to hold the web, keeping them from falling, he would have relieved the aching of his cock by now.
As her breaths grow quicker and sounds become louder, Miguel can tell she’s on the edge. “That’s it, cum for me.” His tongue becomes ruthless, desperate to make her cum. His free hand grips her hips, tugging her as close as possible.
With a cry, Felicia cums. Miguel was in heaven, lapping every drop up, enjoying the quaking of her body on his face.
“Fuck, Mig.” She sighed, regaining her breath.
“I’m not even close to being done with you.” He growls.
Miguel moves them to stand, against the ledge again with Felicia legs wrapped around his waist. He hastily undoes his pants with her help, freeing his aching cock from its confines.
“Fuck, I need you.” He groans, pumping his cock that leaks with precum.
He lines his cock up with her entrance and with a fast thrust, he bottoms out in her. They moan together, taking a moment to adjust. Although, it doesn’t take long before Miguel begins moving. Felicia’s moans mix with the sounds of traffic and sirens in the streets below. It was entirely irresponsible to be fucking on the side of the building. There could be crime happening that needs their attention, but the two were too wrapped up in each other to think about the world beyond them.
“God, you’re so tight.” Miguel pants as he picks up speed. His claws dig into the black concrete behind her.
Felicia whimpers, her fingers thread into Miguel’s hair, tugging on it. The sensation makes him growl and bite the sensitive part of her neck.
“You drive me wild.” He grunts between thrusts. “All mine.”
“Oh, Mig” She moans.
“I know, baby, I know. You’re doing so good for me.” He grabs her thigh and hitches it higher, getting an even deeper angle.
Felicia gasps and her body quivers with the surge of pleasure. “R-right there!”
“Yeah?” He pants with a cocky smirk. “Right here?” He moves relentlessly, causing the concrete behind her to crack. “I bet Peter never made you feel this good, huh?” He nips at her neck, watching as her eyes roll back.
She let out a series of moans in response. Miguel loved it when she was in so much pleasure, she couldn’t speak let alone think. It made him feral.
“That’s my good girl. I feel you getting so- ungh- so fucking tight for me. You’re so close aren’t you?”
Felicia whimpers and nods her head, causing Miguel to smirk again.
“I want you to cum hard for me, got it?” He groans as she throbs around him, teething on the edge. “I’m gonna cum so deep inside you if you keep that up.”
Miguel grabs Felicia by the neck, forcing her to look up at him through her heavy lidded eyes. “I need you to cum for me right now.” He growls.
The feeling of him pistoning in and out of her, paired with the tight grip on her neck was all she needed to cum. She came, throbbing around him, moaning his name like a prayer. It was too much for Miguel, he fucked her through her orgasm, filling her with his cum.
The two pant as they calm down from their high. Miguel slowly releases Felicia’s throat, his hand sliding up to her cheek, tilting her face up to look at him. “Fucking perfect.” He says between pants, his voice deep and raw from the moaning.
Felicia smiles weakly before leaning in for a soft and tender kiss.
