The Many Loves of the Amazing Spider-Man

Shades of Black (Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat)

Felicia Hardy waved at the black van that was leaving the parkade. She had a sad smile on her face as she watched the van get smaller and smaller as the van gained distance between them. She felt her heart throb at the actions that the couple had taken just to be together. She never had imagined going to such a length just to be with the one that made her heart skip various beats.

She lowered her hand slowly, her smile turning into a grimace as she moved her left hand towards her right shoulder. She had never fallen in love that deeply, except for one man that had been in her life for a long time. She had been with various men but she could never forget him.

"We did a good thing today, Spider" She said, glancing to the side a bit. She was looking the other way, but she was talking towards the man that had stolen her heart ever since they started their run-ins together. Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, was and will always be the love of her life. She didn't care about other men, most men in her life came and went as often as she robbed museums and jewelry stores. But Spider-Man has always been the one constant person in her life that made her want to be better. "We gave those kids a life..."

"It... It was a good plan" Felicia smirked as she remembered Peter questioning her plan to get the couple together. She turned around and began to walk slowly towards Spider-Man, moving her hips sensually as she had come accustomed to. She could see him and all she could think of was the many things she had done to him, things that she regrets doing to him. But she can't turn back time, if she could... She would be better, just for him. "Crazy, but then everything with you always is, isn't it?"

"It was good though, wasn't it?" She chuckled a bit, jumping a bit until she was sitting on the little opening that the parkade had. She was right next to Spider-Man, who was reclined to the same wall that she was sitting on. She enjoyed moments like this with him, and she couldn't help but remember the moment when she remembered everything she had done with him. Her memories were blank for quite some time, all because Spider-Man wanted everyone to forget about Peter Parker being Spider-Man. But now she remembers, and all she wanted was to spend time with him. Because even she knew that he was taken by the red haired model.

"Yeah... We've always been a good team" Peter said, a hidden smile on his face. He remembers quite well all the team-ups that he and Felicia had done in the past. Their adventures together had brought them even closer, from the good ones to the bad ones. Each one making their connection even deeper than before. But Peter knew that it was never going to be the same, and it was all thanks to Otto Octavius. "Though I still got a scar from the last time you asked me to marry you"

"Ha!" She couldn't help but laugh, making Peter smile at the white haired female in his life. He definitely could feel his connection to Felicia getting stronger ever since he revealed his identity to her once more. He still felt something for the woman right next to him, something that he would never forget, same as the love he still felt for Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson... Though the civilian girls had betrayed his trust. A trust that he would never re-establish again, because Gwen was dead and Mary Jane was concentrating on her career as an actress. "That was a good one, right" Peter hated to admit it, but he had to give credit when it was due. The strategy Felicia had used to distract him was very convincing, more so with the kind of relationship the two of them had at the time. He still remembers watching as Felicia got on one knee and proposed to him with a ring she had recently stolen from a jewelry store. Though the event made Peter realize a bit about how Felicia really saw him, it didn't quell the feelings he had for her. "Nice moments we both shared..."

"Yeah..." Black Cat glanced at Spider-Man, wanting to stare at the man that still had her heart in the clutches of his hands. She was aware of the fact that she had let him down on various occasions. Some of which any sane person would leave her alone and not want to see her ever again. But it was not the case with him, she knew that she could always trust in him for anything she may need. And it was because of that that she felt even worse about everything she had done to him.

"I'm taking the boys out to dinner for all their hard work..." Felicia started, gaining the attention of Peter. Felicia needed to tell him, even if she deep inside knew that he was not going to accept. She still had a ray of hope. Hope that she still maintains after many years of knowing each other. "Maybe you could come along..." But she saw his shocked face, face she was unable to decipher because of the mask he was wearing. She thought the worst when she saw him, crushing all of the hope she had inside of her. She saw how Peter was about to ask, but she really didn't want to hear his excuse. She didn't want it. She just wants to be with her boys and enjoy the third bag she had for herself. "But that is not-"

"Sure, Cat... I'll go" Felicia suddenly stopped talking, her eyes widening in shock and hope as she moved her sight towards him. She could see the soft facial expression he had as he stared at her, making her eyes tear up in happiness and her heart to skip various beats. "I have nothing better-"

Felicia had immediately closed the distance between the two and gave him the biggest hug she could give him. She wanted to kiss him so badly, but she still felt in her heart that for everything that had happened throughout their story together, that she needed to wait a bit more. Though the more time she spent near him, the less awkward it felt for her and she really was tempted to kiss him... Which she ended up doing in the end.

The kiss was short, a peck on the lips over the mask of the arachnid hero, but Felicia didn't care. She was ignoring everything around her, even the two men that were in her crew. All she wanted was to be with Peter and stay closer to him for as long as she could. Maybe what people say was true... Third time the charm, she and Peter would have to gain their third proposal after all... And she will be waiting for that moment to arrive. And she would make sure to not make the same mistakes over again.

Time Skip

"Dad! Vulture and his granddaughter are causing trouble again!" Peter could hear the distress voice of his daughter with Felicia Hardy. He loved Felicity, the name of his daughter, with all of his might and it came to a surprise to find out that she not only inherited his powers, but her mother's as well. "Is mom going to be fine here on her own?"

"Of course, dear... Your mother can handle herself" From the chair near Peter, sat Felicia Parker-Hardy. She had a smile on her face as she was rubbing gently her stomach. Felicia had yet to give Peter and Felicity the news and was about to do so, but Vulture had ruined her plans. Though it didn't mean that she couldn't tell them after that. "Now go along my little kitten... Go help your father"

"I'm already ready, mom! Dad is the-"

"Go ahead, Felicity. I'll catch up with you!" Peter said as he stood up. Pressing two times the watch he currently had on, making the technology the watch was built with to create him his newest costume, a red a black Spider-Man suit. He looked at his wife, already being married for about fifteen years, and gave her a kiss on the lips. A kiss he felt that she reciprocated instantly. "Wish me luck, babe..."

"You don't need it. You will always stand on top. I know it" Felicia stated, making Peter make a cheeky grin, before exiting through the door and following his daughter. Felicia was now there alone, though if she was being technical... She had someone with her. She was happy that Mary Jane made that fatal mistake. A mistake that led Peter straight to her. The red haired actress knew what she was getting into when she decided to trust in Mysterio and not tell Peter about what was really happening. And she took advantage of that situation. No more was she going to stand aside and let everyone else try to take her Spider. Because they were meant to be together and together they would stay as long as she could help it. "Isn't that right, little one?"

Felicia really could say that she was blessed beyond belief. Even after all the mistakes she had made in her life, she was happy to know that she managed to set things straight and amend every error that she had caused in the past against her husband. And she couldn't wait to tell him and Felicity the news about yet another family member arriving in the near future.
