Spider-man au question of the day!

What's your version of spider-man's relationship with black cat?

Wwverse spidey and cat have some...complications. at first, their relationship was fairly playful. Felicia may be a cat burglar, but she onoy really does it out of desperation to get by.

She and spidey's interactions are fairly lighthearted...until...

See, felicia's dad, walter "the cat burglar" hardy was the man responsible for killing uncle ben, though it was more of an unfortunate accident than hardy actually trying to kill ben. Unfortunately, that didn't exactly matter to a grief-stricken peter who accidentally cuased walter to fall out the window when he confronted him.

When felicia finds out peter got her dad killed...she is not happy. The two have been bitter for a while, with felicia thinking of peter as a self-righteous hypocrite who caused the death of a man only trying to provide for his daughter(felicia) and peter thought felicia a selfish crook who didn't care about the consequences of her actions. Eventually, the came to terms with what happened that night. They came to terms with the fact that their anger with eachother was driven the grief of losing someone that was family to them and raised them. They realized that going at eachothers throats would only make things worse. They decided to bury the hatchet, with felicia trying to reform her cst burglar ways, and peter offering support so that felicia would not have to resort to criminal activities to survive.

Now how about you?

The Avengers #24

[heckcareoxytwit]

What began as an inconspicuous heist has escalated into an all-out war as Kang the Conqueror’s armada fires upon the Grandmaster’s space-faring casino in a display of strength and ego. The Space Casino is under attack and Kang gloats at the Avengers before teleporting away with Black Cat. As the Avengers and the alien civilians are left behind to die, both Black Cat and the real Walter Hardy become disgusted with Kang for not caring about the lives on board of the space casino in the middle of a crossfire. Soon, the tables are turned when Black Cat uses her luck power to make Kang's ship malfunction. Also, the Avengers managed to teleport themselves and the civilians away from the crossfire. The Avengers defeat Kang and his soldiers as well as they take back the stolen item from Black Cat. Then, Grandmaster and Myrddin come in to declare that their game is over so their players - the Avengers, Black Cat, Walter Hardy, Kang and his army must return to their respective places. Kang yells at Grandmaster but he and his army are teleported away to wherever timestream they are from. Black Cat and her father, Walter Hardy, are teleported to the past while the Avengers are teleported back to the present-day only to find that things had changed when Doom is in charge.
