sure, the additional heat of the nypd wasn’t what the hero wanted at this very moment, but who was felicia hardy to not put on a good show ? the thief had flashed the cameras a cheerleader grin --wide and fake-- and gave a small flirty wave of her claws ; even blowing a little kiss to the boys in blue and media outlets alike who flooded the streets below. after all, she had to ensure they got her good side ! though, it really didn’t take much to rile up the pigs in uniform, and that’s exactly why she did it.
❛ taunted? honey, i’m giving them exactly what they want --- a chance to catch the infamous 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝘁 ! ❜ its purred dry, a rather half-hearted attempt to sound like the headlines her alias adorns nightly, but she just couldn’t help that tug of matte black lips into something mischievous. a hand tightens around the bag of stolen goodies, ❛ --- well, almost catch~ ❜ with sirens closing in, she races to the end of the roof and dives off the ledge into a freefall with no hesitation. of course she’s giving the paparazzi one final shot - one she was sure she’d see decorating the headlines in a few hours. downward she goes, platinum white locks whip past her head as she falls down, down, down, before she whips her grapple from its white fur sheath and swings back up and in tow with ghost spider. always the entertainer.
felicia knew the pigs would lose their scent soon if they kept this pace, but this pesky little amulet ? ( the one currently stuffed away nice and safe in her bag ? ) had half the city’s criminal underworld at their tail, and now the entire police force too ! oops. a fact that doesn’t phase the cat burglar, but could maybe cause the little spider to sweat. ❛ you can try stopping them, but there’s better use of my time. ❜ granted, a little harsh, but felicia wasn’t trying to fight her way out of new york city tonight. cat finally lands on the fire escape and takes her place next to the hero, managing a little more humility this time. ❛ we can shake the cops, trust me, but 𝗞𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘𝗡 ? it’s not an if he catches us, spider --- but when. ❜ cat’s playful tone losing all light in lieu of something darker, something much more informed.
❛ you’re a good kid. i’d hate for you to wait around here and see what happens when you don’t run in this city . ❜
