A gentle breeze blowing I once again found myself standing atop the Chrysler Building, now dressed in my newly revised original costume.
Gwen and Felicia right by my side, the pair also wearing their costumes. Gwen sporting her original and not her armored one.
"Okay, explain to me again why we're standing up here?" Felicia asked.
"So you can make your superhero debut with style." I said, striking a pose.
"Don't worry it's actually not that bad once you jump." Gwen added.
Leading Felicia to look at her. "He seriously made you do this?"
"Like I said once you jump it's not that bad." Gwen repeated, shrugging her shoulders in resignation.
Seeing this Felicia turned her gaze back to me. "Parker, are you by some chance a sadist?"
"Nope." I replied. "Just a slight adrenaline junkie. Now stop stalling and jump."
"Ugh, fine." Felicia replied. She then turned her gaze forward and took a deep breath. Then after exhaling it she ran forward and jumped.
Gwen and I following her lead.
After we three took the plunge Felicia fired off one of her grappling hooks, while Gwen and I each fired off a single web line.
Then in the next instant all three of us were swinging through the city, and so fast people barely noticed us.
Felicia now sporting a grin on his face.
"See, I knew you'd like it once you tried it." I said to her.
"Okay, yeah. I'll admit you were right on this one Parker. Thus feels so amazing." Felicia said. Firing off her other grappling hook to continue swinging.
"I know right." I replied. "I mean try and tell me there's something better? Go on, try?"
"Guys, sorry to interrupt your conversation but we've got trouble." Gwen said, pointing down below.
Looking in the direction Gwen was pointing Felicia and I saw a gang of five thugs standing in an alley near a store, bandana's over their faces, and pipes and chains in their hands as weapons. One of them even had a gun.
"Okay Cat, go show them just how sharp your claws are."
"With pleasure." Felicia replied.
She then swung down towards the group of thugs.
Meanwhile Gwen and I landed feet first onto the side of a building making up the alley they were hiding in, adjusted our position, and then began to watch.
Ready to jump in and assist Felicia at a moments notice.
If she needed it.
But for now we'll let her do it alone. Given a heroes first take down is special, and we wouldn't want to ruin her precious first time.
Landing on the ground behind the thugs, Felicia got on all fours, just as the thugs turned around to face her.
The one with the gun in his hand immediately tilting his head in curiosity. "Who are you?"
"The names Black Cat." Felicia immediately retorted. She then did a form flip, got right in front of the thing with the gun, extended her claws, and then slashed his weapon, leading the barrel of the gun to fall apart into pieces seconds later. "Newest hero on the block whose going to be the one arranging your trip to Riker's Island today. You ready boys?"
"Screw you!" The man with the destroyed gun screamed. "Boys, ge-" He started to say, only to be silenced as Felicia delivered a punch directly to his throat, before black flipping and delivering a kick to his jaw, sending him flat onto the ground, out cold.
Seeing this display the other four thugs became momentarily stunned.
Taking advantage of that Felicia grabbed hold of the arm of one of them and then threw him over her shoulder, slamming him into the ground. Taking out her second enemy in as many seconds.
"Oh, come on now boys, don't tell me that's all you've got? I'm not even close to finishing and most of you are already done. What's the matter, never had to handle a real woman before?" Felicia spoke, a smirk on her face the entire time.
"Well, that's certainly one way to banter." I murmured.
But given Felicia's personality her banter being sensual in nature doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
"You can say that again." Gwen replied.
Meanwhile on the ground the remaining three thugs all attacked Felicia.
The one carrying the metal chain swung it at her, while the two holding the pipes charged at Felicia from either side.
Despite this she still kept a smirk on her face.
Backflipping Felicia dodged the chain strike. She then ducked back at just the right moment when the thugs with the pipes swung at her, leading the two of them to hit each other.
"Ow!" They both cried out in pain a second after this happened.
Ignoring this Felicia straightened up. She then grabbed the thug on her left, and threw him over her shoulder, directly into the thug on her right. Taking them both out in an instant.
Seeing this the man with the chain dropped it, turned around, and began running.
Or at least tried to.
But before he could go anywhere Felicia shot one of her grappling hooks at his ankles, wrapped them, and then pulled. Leading the final thug to trip and fall flat on his face.
When this occured Gwen and I jumped off the side of the building and landed right in front of Felicia. We then quickly webbed up the thugs.
"So teachers, how did I do?" Felicia asked us.
"A" Gwen replied.
"B." I replied. "You're quipping wasn't up to par." I explained.
"Well that's not my fault. It's was the thugs. I mean they didn't even get me slightly close to release,so there's no way I could've given them my best."
"Hey, phrasing." I said.
"What? I'm just talking about the fight Spider. Or do you think I mean something else?" Felicia said, a grin on her face.
"In a rare moment I'm not going to touch that one." I replied. "And you know exactly what you're doing."
"Oh, I certainly do." Felicia literally purred back to me.
"Okay, that's enough. I think it's time we all go on seperate patrols for a bit." Gwen spoke up, stepping in between me and Felicia.
"Fine by me." I said. "But remember, call if you need backup."
"Should you really be the one saying that?" Gwen asked me.
"Touche." I replied. "Then it's a good thing we have Spinner also looking out for all of us." I said.
"That you all do." He spoke through our comms.
Once he did the three of us went off to conduct separate patrols.

(3rd Person: POV)
As Peter, Gwen, and Felicia split up, across town, in an abandoned building, Jason Macendale Jr. was staring at his reflection in a mirror.
Tables littered with various weapons, gear, and technology surrounding him.
To say nothing of ten outfitted and reinforced Jeep parked in a corner of the room.
Why?
Because this building was one of the numerous safehouses Jason had set up around New York.
The man having worked to make his way to the place after the disaster he faced at Oscorp Industries while infiltrating Norman's private lab.
And now because of that Jason's human appearance was gone, and the thing that looked back at him in the mirror was a tall orange-skinned monster with glowing yellow eyes.
"I'm...a freak." Jason muttered.
An angry expression appearing on his face in the next second.
"Agh!!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
Jason then unconsciously punched the mirror on front of him, shattering it in an instant.
Then after he did bright flames suddenly appeared on his fist.
"What the hell?!" Jason shouted. Pulled out of his anger by his now flaming fist.
"I'm on fire, yet I feel no pain from the flames on the slightest." Jason muttered.
He then cautiously began waving his flaming fist around, the flames jumping from his first snc hitting a wall on the room the second after he did.
Punching a hole clean through it.
Seeing this Jason raised his other feet and then pictured it aflame a second later. When he did his other fist lit on fire.
Seeing this Jason grinned.
"Incredible. The power, it's wonderful!" Jason happily spoke.
He then began laughing hysterically, raising his flaming fists into the air.
No one in the outside world yet aware the Hobgoblin has just been born into existence.
