Cat enjoyed the art that was on display while a man in the security room slammed his fist on the table.

Sonny: The Black Cat!

His partner looked up from his plate of food confused.

Kevin: Who?

Sonny: Felicia Hardy! The Black Cat! SHEILD sent out the notice for her!

He hit the button that connected the call to all the guards at the event.

Sonny: High alert. All points, eyes on female. White hair, black dress, 17-19. Gold necklace.

He released the button and rubbed his temples. This night was not going well. At all.

Kevin: Look, Sonny, relax. You think she's gonna rob the place in a little black dress?

Sonny: We don't get paid to relax.

Kevin: You're too intense, man. Have a Hors D'oeuvre.

Sonny looked at his partner with wide eyes filled with confusion. He looked at the plate then at him.

Sonny: How'd you get those?

Kevin: Ah, man. Catering staff is a mess. A bunch of them are down with E. Coli. They had to get some last minute replacements.

Sonny: What?!

He stood up straight.

Sonny: Why am I just now hearing about this?!

Kevin: Chill. How do you even know this Black Cat chick is here to steal something. Maybe she's here for a good time.

Sonny shook his head as he grabbed a radio and headed for the door.

Sonny: I know her type.

You and Laura leaped over the blast of magical energy that Hela fired out while Mysterio filled the area with green smoke. Loki summoned his daggers and threw them at the attacker, but he simply vanished.

Amora tried to get rid of the gas, but Mysterio suddenly appeared behind her and slammed a leg into her rib, sending her into the tree.

Wanda casted a spell that started to clear the smoke, but more simply took it's place.

You stopped using your flames, not knowing if the gas was flammable or not. You instead popped out your claws and charged at Hela.

She simply smiled as she allowed you to stab her in the gut.

Hela: How cute. You think you can harm the goddess of death.

She back handed you, sending you right into Wanda. With her spell interrupted, the gas began to expand even more. Mysterio took the chance to lift his arms up. A loud roar filled the area as you and Wanda got back to your feet.

Y/N: Wait a second. Is that...

You suddenly found a massive figure running full sprint towards you. You quickly ducked out of the way as the Hulk let out a massive roar.

Loki: Oh no. Oh no no no no no. Keep me away from that thing!

You scrambled to your feet and put your hands up as the Hulk walked towards you.

Y/N: Hulk? Bud? It's me. Monster. We're homies, remember?

Hulk didn't respond. He simply charged at you again, which you managed to avoid. While you were busy with what seemed to be the Hulk, Wanda and Loki made their effort to fight Hela while Laura and Amora tried to get rid of Mysterio.

You dodged another one of Hulk's hits, but your senses went off. Hey! Your senses were back and AHHHHH!

You went flying into the World Tree which ended up impaling you in the gut. You went limp for a moment before you coughed up some blood and looked down at the branch.

Y/N: S-Shit.

Laura: Stop running!

She charged at Mysterio again, but he managed to avoid her by disappearing back into the smoke. Laura looked around but Mysterio appeared behind her. He delivered a powerful chop to her neck, making her go limp and dropping her to the ground.

Mysterio: Too easy.

He was then suddenly hit by a ball of magical energy that sent him slamming into one of the nearby trees. He hit the ground and groaned as Amora helped Laura up.

Amora: Did you get his scent?

Laura grinned.

Laura: Yep. Watch my back.

Amora nodded as Laura charged forward. Mysterio stood up and created more gas to cover himself. Laura stopped and stood there for a moment before she took a deep breath.

Laura: To my left!

Mysterio jumped out of the smoke, but Amora was quick to catch him in her spell. She bounded him before she threw him against a tree then onto the ground then flying towards Hela.

He landed as Hela blocked another one of Loki's daggers. She was honestly surpised by how coordinated you all were. Wanda and Loki worked together flawlessly.

Which was nice, honestly. Means hours upon hours of training didn't go to waste.

Loki: Give it up, Hela. You cannot beat the Strikers.

Hela: Nor can you defeat the Cabal. We are strong in numbers. We have an army now.

Wanda: Army or not, you'll never be able to stand against us.

You popped out your claws and took a deep breath before you sliced the branch. You then pulled yourself off of it. And dropped to the ground. You slowly got back to your feet and looked around for Hulk.

He was gone.

Actually, all the of green gas started to lift. So, it was just a projection created by Mysterio, then. Crazy how it felt like the real thing.

Hela turned to Mysterio who was still on the ground in pain. Unlike the rest of you, he was a mere human.

Hela: This shall wait until the next time we meet, Strikers.

A black portal appeared behind her as she grabbed Mysterio. She looked at all of you before she vanished. The area went back to being calm as the five of you stood there.

You looked down at your wound to see that it was already healing. It was nice to see that you were slowly getting back to the way you were.

Wanda: What is happening?

You looked to her to see that she was looking at the tree. You turned and noticed that it was glowing. Bot only that, but your blood was being pulled into it.

Y/N: Woah.

Loki: Fascinating.

The tree began to react to your blood before smaller balls of light began to float through the air. You watched them for a moment before you reached out and touched one.

Your eyes grew wide when you suddenly found yourself floating. Your body felt weightless. Your pain was gone. You looked at your hand you see that it was glowing a beautiful light.

You looked around you and realized that you weren't in Burns anymore. You weren't anywhere, yet you were everywhere. You looked at the countless uniervese before you in awe and wonder.

It was just like what the other you showed you.

The Frontier.

Worlds where millions of stories were happening.

You looked around for a moment before you heard a voice. A voice you knew well.

You looked over to one of the worlds and it suddenly came towards you. You stood there, alone in a room. A warehouse of somekind.

You looked around and realized that it was a base of somekind.

Robbie: What a week.

You turned around as Robbie entered the room with slightly wet hair. He sighed before he stopped and looked up. His eyes grew wide.

Robbie: Y/N?

Y/N: Robbie? You're okay.

Robbie slowly nodded before he walked over to you.

Robbie: How are you...how are you here?

Y/N: I don't know. Where is here?

Robbie gestured to the room and shrugged.

Robbie: Champions HQ. A lot of stuff has been going on.

Y/N: But you've been fine?

Robbie nodded.

Robbie: I kept the Striker spirit going. But, things have been weird.

Cat walked through the crowd with a smile as she enjoyed the night. She looked at her watch and wondered how things were going so far.

Felicia: Uh oh.

Cat noticed what Felicia had seen. Another guest. But she just smiled.

Cat: Odessa! Darling! Imagine seeing you here!

Odessa looked over at the young thief as she made her way over to her. Odessa groaned while Cat smirked.

Felicia: Cat, that's Odessa Drake. The H.B.I.C of the New York's Thieves Guild. The one who probably wants to kill us for what we did a few days ago.

Odessa: Hardy.

Cat and her shared a formal greeting before Odessa sighed.

Odessa: So nice to see you here.

Cat: An accident, I'm sure.

Odessa: You know what kind of person I am, Felicia. There is nothing I do that is accidental.

Felicia: She's right. She either has to be here for us or to take that painting.

Odessa: I have terms. You will make this right with the Guild, Hardy. First...

Cat held up her hand.

Cat: Let me stop you there, darling. You can train a dog to heel, Odessa. But you're now dealing with a cat.

She flexed her hand, extending her prosthetic nails to sharpen and grow. She then stabbed the olive that was in Odessa's drink and ate it.

Odessa: A cat becomes more tractable when starved. Enjoy that olive. It'll be the last thing you'll take for a while.

Odessa walked away as Kevin chuckled in the security room.

Kevin: She even has claws? Awesome!

Cat watched Odessa disappear in the crowd before she smirked.

Cat: That went well.

Felicia: I hate you.
-----------------
You looked around the future version of New York as you and Robbie walked down the street. It wasn't winter yet in this world, but it was getting chilly.

Robbie: And then we formed the Champions. Saved a couple of girls from being trafficked, but we lost one.*

(*Read "The New Spider-Man" for the full story)

You looked at your friend as he sighed.

Robbie: She had died before we even had a chance to get to them. I nearly killed the asshole, but this world's version of you stopped me.

Y/N: He did?

Robbie: Yeah. Said, "We can serve justice without unjust force." Gave a whole speech.

You were impressed. This version of you, from what you had gathered from Robbie, seemed like he was just as motivated as you were. Maybe even more so.

Y/N: Well, it's good to know that this me isn't a tool.

Robbie: No. He's a good person. Though, it does get weird when no one says anything over PG. Like, super weird. I didn't even think sex was a thing here until...uh...forget I said anything.

You raised a brow before you heard something overhead. You both looked up to see two figures swinging through the city.

Robbie: There they are. The Spider siblings themselves.

Y/N: Mayday and Y/N, right? That one is me?

Robbie nodded. You smiled a bit, before you felt something weird. You looked down at your hand to see that it was fading away. You were being pulled back to your own world.

Robbie noticed this as well and frowned.

Robbie: Already? Damn. I was hoping for some more time.

You sighed.

Y/N: Me too. But, we will find a way to bring you home. I promise.

Robbie smiled.

Robbie: I know. And I'll be working to get back on this end, too. We just have to get that teleporter from Avenger's Tower.

You nodded as you suddenly remembered something. You quickly reached into your pocket and pulled out your Striker card.

Y/N: You still have yours?

Robbie nodded and pulled his out from his jacket. He handed it to you and you quickly messed with it for a moment before you handed it back to him.

Y/N: There. We should be able to communicate now, regardless of what world we're in.

Robbie looked at his card and smiled.

Robbie: Thanks, Y/N.

Y/N: Anytime, Rob. Hopefully we'll see you soon.

Robbie watched as you vanished completely. He chuckled to himself for a moment before he put his card away.

Robbie: Yeah. Hopefully.

He looked back up at the sky and watched as Spider-Man and Spider-Girl swung to save the day yet again.

Cat stood in front of a painting for a moment before Sonny finally found her. He walked over towards her, but she noticed him. She just shrugged and placed her glass on a passing tray. She then, simply, walked towards the exit.

Sonny stopped in surpise. She was just....leaving? Empty handed? Why?

Cat, however, wasn't empty handed. She smirked as she stepped out of the building and towards the street. There, a red car waited. She got into the backseat and grinned as it drove away.

Cat: Another job well done.

???: And you did very well, dear. Very well indeed.

Cat looked over at the painting that was sitting next to her. She grinned before she looked at out the back window to see Sonny standing there in awe. She simply blew him a kiss as they drove away.

Felicia: I can't believe that worked.

Neither could Cat. But everyone had their focus on her. Everyone was looking at her. No one was looking at the true thief.

Fox: You did splendid, Felicia, Cat.

Cat: Of course we did, dad.
