Sometimes patrols weren’t the most exciting things in the world. It was probably for the best, it meant that the world as a whole was safer than normal, but Peter also kinda loved the thrill of heroism. He’d gotten used to always being busy, hunting down robbers and drug dealers and whoever else crossed his path. It was like a never-ending game of cops and robbers!
Except for tonight.
Right now, he was hanging upside down from a web, reading an Intro to Chem textbook for uni. Yawning, Peter looked around his book and noticed a person striding towards him. “‘Sup?” Peter greeted, dropping the book so he could wave. “How’s it hanging?”
Felicia could recognize the scarlet suited hero anywhere, given that the two had a history of swinging through the city’s skyline on nights like this. She could tell all was quiet by the fact that he was reading, a slight smirk forming to her lips at the sight. “Dunno, spider. You tell me.” She inches closer to him, enough to make out the title of the book. Carefully, Felicia’s fingertip guides the book upward and out of her view of him, grin growing as the cogs in her head begin to spin. “I know this book must be riveting stuff, but I think you and I could have a lot more fun if we take advantage of just how quiet it is tonight. What do you say, hm? Up for an adventure?”
( dua lipa / 23 / she/her ) – hey, have you noticed BLACK CAT around lately? rumor is they’re from NEW YORK CITY. out of costume, i think they go by FELICIA HARDY !! their EXPERT THIEVERY, OLYMPIC LEVEL ATHLETICISM and MARTIAL ARTS SKILLS make them a perfect fit for the DEFENDERS / SPIDERMAN.
felicia is an only child to a wealthy family in queens
her dad was a “traveling salesman” so he was away a bunch on business trips and such, leaving felicia’s mom to do most of the parenting
her father always told her that if she’s going to do something, to strive and be the very best at it. however her mother was never satisfied with her “best” and often pushed felicia further when she took up an interest in activities such as cheerleading and gymnastics
when felicia was 13, she was told by her mother that her father died in a plane crash over the andes mountains in south america tho this was a cover up for him being in jail. she later finds out that her father was an infamous cat burglar (via the newspapers) which made her put 2 and 2 together and realize his “business trips” were bullshit
after being mugged felicia learned of the “excitement” that comes with her father's career, leading her to then learn self defense and enroll in martial arts classes where she was trained in the okinawan art of goju ryu. in this time, felicia also took the time out to learn how to pick locks and crack open safes
when felicia was a freshman in college, she was date r*ped by her boyfriend at the time. she was horrified and angered beyond belief that he stole her life from her, despite the consequences felicia decided to murder him. she put aside her studies to learn different styles of fighting before seeking him out, only to find that he died in a drunk driving accident.
she was angry she couldn’t get her revenge ( and to this day, it’s still something that affects her from time to time ) but ended up channeling all of that into following in her father’s footsteps, becoming the black cat
again her father’s teachings of being the best at whatever she puts her mind to resonated when she took up the title of black cat, becoming the self proclaimed QUEEN of crime :~)
she’s super charming and charismatic and knows exactly what to say in order to get whatever it is she wants.
