The Cat and Mouse Arc #1

The Monster had met the Wasp and the Pink Warrior. He found his world growing more and more everyday.

But he had no answers to his past or what he was. But for the time being, he was okay with it. He had taken it upon himself to help the Wasp earn the approval of her peers.

Maybe he can get their approval himself.

Monster:
Year 1

You weren't new to sleeping at a girl's place. You and Felicia shared the same space, after all. But you didn't have ticking devices that did God knows what scattered everywhere. And you and Felicia slept on different ends of the room.

Not piled on the couch with foot in your face. Your jacket was acting as a black for Nadia while you had your ever burning fire inside you to keep you warm.

Ring! Ring!

Somewhere in the house, a phone rang. Not yours, since you didn't have a phone.

Y/N: No, Felicia....don't cry...I'm sorry...

Ring! Ring!

Nadia: Fluffy....clouds...and...donuts....*snort*

Nadia sat up suddenly wide awake.

Nadia: Phone!

Not wide awake.

Nadia rolled off the couch and began to move her hand around to try and find her phone while you just rolled over.

Ring! Ring!

Nadia: Phone? Where are you? I was slept and then you....aha!

She picked up her phone and tried to look at it with her tired eyes.

Nadia: Hello? Whose ring is this? I've never heard this ring!

Ring! Ring!

Nadia tapped the phone screen but nothing happened.

Nadia: You're not ringing. You're not even on! Liar.

She tossed the broken phone aside and contiued her search while you groaned. Venom woke up and appeared on your shoulder to look at Nadia.

Venom: Hurry up and anssswer that phone!

Nadia: I'm trying!

Suddenly, there was a click.

Hank: Hello and thank you for calling Pym Labs. Dr. Henry Pym is likely either out of the lab or currently too small to preceve sound.

Nadia looked at the landline which the sound was coming from.

Hank: If this is a world-ending threat, hang up and call the Avengers. If this is Janet, I'm sorry for what I did or what day I messed up.

Nadia: Is that my dad's voice?

Hank: If this is Scott, you already owe me roughly fifty-thousand dollars, so don't ask.

Nadia: It is! How do I answer you? Do the buttons do anything?

Venom just sighed and began to shake you awake.

Y/N: Felicia...let me...sleep.

Venom stopped shaking you and instead slapped you. You sat up disheveled with your hair a mess and drool running down your cheek.

Y/N: Demon monkey!

Nadia fumbled with the phone before a new voice started talking.

Janet: Good morning. Or, it's actually afternoon. It's Jan. I was just calling to make sure you were awake but it looks like you were up all night doing God knows what again.

Nadia: Janet? I can hear you! Can you hear me? Janet? Hold on, it's a handle.

While Nadia struggled with the phone, you got up and walked to the kitchen. You turned on the sink and splashed your face with water to clean up a bit.

Venom: Ssssorry for waking you up, but you didn't sssseem like you were having a good dream.

You sighed as you dried your face off with whatever you found on the counter.

Y/N: It's nothing. Just, dreaming of another time.

Venom: Well, clearly you aren't that upssset. You already moved on.

Y/N: Huh?

Venom took the piece of fabric from your hand and showed you what it was.

A pair of yellow panties.

Your face grew red as you grabbed them back and threw them across the room in shame.

Nadia: Janet is here!

You walked out of the kitchen while Nadia opened the front door to find Janet standing there, already dressed for the day. Oh, it was 1:32 PM.

Janet: Nadia. You're not dressed?

Nadia: I have a shirt on. And socks. It's easier to think without pants sometimes.

Janet shook her head at her stepdaughter's appearance before Nadia pulled her inside.

Janet: Word of advice, Nadia, people wear clothes when they see a lawyer. And when they open the door in the middle of the day.

Nadia: Lawyer? Oh, yeah. Your lawyer friend.

She pulled Janet into the living room where you were sitting on the couch.

Y/N: Hey.

Janet: Y/N? Oh, did she rope you into helping her?

Nadia: I got him to use his powers to help. Did you know he can also cook food with his flames?

Venom: He can do a lot of thingsss, ladiesss.

Venom winked at Janet who just stood there.

Janet: This place is a mess. Go get dressed so we can go meet the lawyer.

Nadia: Oh, I'm not doing that today. I have another thing I need to do. It's important.

Nadia dissapered to the other room where various pieces of clothing were thrown out.

Janet: More important than staying in the country? You need citizenship.

Y/N: That's what I said.

Nadia: No one's going to arrest me for being in the country today, Jan. I have to earn the approval of my fellow heroes before I can join the Program.

Janet looked at you for answers. You just shrugged. You were more or less here for the ride.

Nadia: How do I look?

Nadia stepped out and struck a pose. You held up a sign that said 7 while Venom held up one that said 8.

Venom: I like that sssshade of yellow.

Janet: You look nice, dear. But you really do need to see that lawyer.

Nadia: And I will. Tomorrow! Me and Y/N are gonna go and find everyone in the Program today and earn their respect.

Y/N: Actually, she is. I think I kinda already have it.

Nadia started out the front door to which you and Janet followed.

Nadia: So we're doing the lawyer thing tomorrow?

Janet: Wait, where are you going?

Nadia: On an adventure. Right, Y/N?

Janet looked at you as you awkwardly rubbed the back of your neck.

Y/N: I'll make sure she stays out of trouble.

Janet: In case you haven't noticed, you're typically the one in trouble.

Venom: Damn sssstraight. And don't you forget it.

You shrugged and held up a pinkie.

Janet: What's this?

Y/N: A pinkie promise. To keep her safe and to have her back here early enough for her to get some sleep to meet that lawyer tomorrow.

Janet looked at your pinkie for a moment before she locked hers with yours.

Janet: Fine. Go be kids today. Tomorrow, though, no matter what, she'll be meeting that lawyer.

You smiled.

Y/N: Of course.
-------------
Y/N: Alright, here we are. The apartment of Miles Morales.

Nadia and you stood in front of the apartment building that Widow had listed on his file.

Did you go through everyone's files?

No.

Venom did.

Nadia: Cool. Let's go in.

You stopped her and pointed to the nearby lot. There, Miles and Sam were playing street hockey against some other kids. You and Nadia looked at each other before you headed over.

Miles passed the puck to Sam who hit it towards the goal. The goalie went to block it, but he was too slow and the puck went in.

Sam: Goal, bitches!

The other boys groaned and began to leave which allowed Sam and Miles to celebrate.

Miles: Yeah! But, we seriously have to Y/N next time. I think he would love this.

Sam: Definitely. Plus, that guy is a massive powerhouse.

Y/N: I'm glad you guys think so highly of me.

The two boys turned around at your voice. You waved and Nadia smiled.

Sam: Hey, speak of the devil. Where have you been?

Miles: We tried to stop by the tower earlier but Widow said you weren't there.

Nadia: He was with me.

The two boys looked at her, at you, at each other, and grabbed you to pull you aside. They pulled you down to talk to you.

Miles: Are you and her, a thing?

Venom: He wissshesss.

Sam: Did you spend the night at her place?

Y/N: Y-Yeah? I was helping her with some experiments.

Miles: Dude, nice.

He gave you a fist bump and returned to Nadia.

Miles: So, Baby Wasp, what's up? How's life in the great country of America?

Nadia: It's great! I already fought a bunch of robots!

Sam: Haha. Getting revenge for your old man?

The three of you looked at him with blank faces. Even Venom creeped up to stare at him.

Sam: Too soon?

All: You think?

Sam just shrugged and skated off to fix the net.

Miles: So, what brings you guys to my part of town?

Nadia looked at you and you nodded. She then stepped forward.

Nadia: I'm going to join the Program.

Miles: Dope.

Nadia: But, I want to get everyone's approval first.

Miles looked at you but you didn't say anything. Miles then looked at Nadia.

Miles: Uh, I mean, you're always welcomed. The whole point of the Program is for us to get along and learn to work together. Plus, you're really cool. You'll blend in with the rest of us weirdos easily.

Nadia shook her head.

Nadia: Nope. I need to earn it.

Sam heard this and immediately appeared next to Miles.

Sam: In that case...

Venom: Ssssay sssomething perverted and I will go over there and talk to you.

Sam: We could use two teammates for our game.

You and Nadia looked at each other.

Y/N: Come again?

Miles: Oh yeah. We have a game with some kids up the block.

Nadia: That sounds like fun! I will like to play soccer.

Sam: Hockey.

Nadia: Hockey!

Miles looked to you.

Miles: You in?

You just shrugged.

Y/N: Why not?
-----------
You soon found yourself in rollerskates with a hockey stick in your hand. Nadia had a helmet like Sam did, you and Miles didn't really need them, and you got the basics of using your new shoes.

You skated around mindlessly while you waited for the other team to show up.

Miles: Are you sure you never skated before?

You nodded. You didn't even know what rollerskates were before this. But you did seem to get a hang of them pretty fast.

Nadia: It's like ballet. You have to be light and move with purpose.

Sam: Lady, it's just street hockey.

Finally, the other team showed up. But you were quick to notice that you were outnumbered 7 to 4. Seems unfair.

They should have more people.

Sam: Alright, pendejos. Ready to get your asses kicked?

Player: Ha! We've beat you the last five times, dude. Bring it.
-----------
25 goals later, you skated backwards with your stick behind your head.

Y/N: 25 to nada. Looks like we win.

The other team groaned while yours cheered. Sam high fived Nadia while you stuck your tounge out at the other team as they sulked away. Miles smirked.

Miles: That was crazy.

Sam: You guys were awesome! We seriously have to do this again.

Nadia: Then does that mean I have your approval to join the Program?

Miles and Sam smiled.

Miles: Totally.

Sam: I'm disappointed you thought we wouldn't.

Nadia smiled brightly while you kept skating.

Venom: I'm getting sssick.

Y/N: Haha, this is fun!
------------
You and Nadia made it to a house that was located in Midtown where you learned Gwen lived.

At least, you hope so.

Gwen: Friends!

You and Nadia were suddenly pulled into the town home with the door closing behind you.

Yep.

This was the right place.

Gwen let go of Nadia but hugged you while lifting you off the ground.

Gwen: I missed you, baby cakes. What brings you to my humble home?

Venom: Sssstop ssshaking usss!

Y/N: Please?!

Gwen let you go and you stumbled as you fought to not throw up. Gwen then noticed Nadia.

Gwen: And my love rival?! Or....

She then slid next to Nadia.

Gwen: Our third participant?

Y/N: Don't touch her, you fucking monster!

Gwen just laughed while Nadia looked at her confused. You sighed and nudged Nadia.

Nadia: O-Oh! Um, I'm going around and talking to everyone in the Program. I want to get everyone's approval before I go and join the Program.

Gwen smiled.

Gwen: You and me were introduced in the same arc. As far as I'm concerned, you belong in the Program just as much as I do.

Nadia: Really?!

Gwen: Yep!

She then suddenly got really serious and leaned towards her.

Gwen: But I will not back down in my conquest for Y/N's love and affection.

You and Venom both shuttered at her voice. However, the entire thing was interrupted when you heard screaming.

Gwen: Huh. That's weird. The gangs shouldn't be out yet. It's still day.

The three of you moved to the window and looked out. A giant rat was attacking the neighborhood.

Gwen slowly closed the curtains.

Gwen: Welp, that's New York, folks.

Y/N: We need to help.

Nadia: Definitely!

The three of you hurried outside. Venom covered your mouth, Nadia activated her wings, and Gwen just tore off her clothes to reveal her costume underneath. Swords and all.

Gwen: Always prepared.

Nadia flew up while you ignited your fists and Gwen pulled out her guns.

Nadia: You don't scare me, giant rat! I grew up in an underground bunker!

Rat: SQUEEEEEEEK!

Venom: Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope nope! Fucking nope! Keep me away from that thing!

Y/N: She's kinda flying too close to that rat.

Gwen: Definitely.

The rat directed it's attention to Nadia and began to chase after her. You and Gwen stood there and watched to see what would happen next.

Then, suddenly, the rat jumped up and chomped down with Nadia in it's mouth.

You and Gwen stood there with open mouths and horrified faces.

Gwen: Well, at least I have less competition.

She put her guns away and instead pulled out a shot gun. She pumped it then walked towards the rat.

Gwen: I'll go get her.

You shook the horror out of your head and charged forward.

Meanwhile, Nadia opened her eyes.

Nadia: I'm alive? How did he not chomp me?

She looked around.

Nadia: Oh. He did.

She felt something drop on her shoulder and she realized it was the rat's spit.

Nadia: Ewwww!

She shook but noticed something in the back of the rat's throat.

Nadia: Where's that glow coming from? Hey! I know what that is!

Back outside, you and Gwen avoided it's massive paw which smacked into the nearby building.

Y/N: Gah! PEDA go to hell! I'm killing this stupid rat!

Venom: Do it! Kill it with fire!

Before you could, the rat froze up. You and Gwen watched as it pawed at its nose.

Gwen: Oh no.

Y/N: Oh no.

Venom: Oh no.

Kool-Aid Man: Oh yeah!

You and Gwen heard something smack against a wall somewhere behind you causing you to look. There wasn't anything there, but you think you heard glass shatter.

Gwen: Did the Kool-Aid Man just die?

The rat took a deep breath and sneezed. Massive boogers sprayed all over the street, including on you and Gwen. Along the way, Nadia also flew out of the nose and slammed into you which sent you to the floor.

Nadia: Not how I thought this day was going to go.

You stood back up with Nadia in your arms before you set her down. Gwen wiped the green goo off of her face and she looked around.

Gwen: Where's the giant rat?

Nadia: He's still here. He wasn't really a giant rat, though.

She pointed to a rat running across the way and towards the sewers.

Venom: Oh, ssshit! A rat!

You suddenly grabbed your belt with one hand, raised the other, and began to jump side to side.

Y/N: What are you doing, Venom?

Venom: Trussst me. Thissss isss hilarioussss.

You took back control and shook yourself off.

Nadia: Someone just stuck it with this.

She held up a red ring that was about the size of a plate.

Nadia: It makes animals huge and aggressive.

Gwen: Why would someone make that? Oh, wait, bad guys. Got it.

You took the ring and looked at it.

Nadia: And guess who made it?

You ran your finger over it before you found the familiar AIM logo.

Y/N: It's a radio.

Nadia: Yep.

Y/N: That means...

You zapped it with your electricity and it started to beep slowly.

Y/N: I can track the source.

Gwen: How did you know that?

You honestly didn't know, and you didn't care. You rushed off and followed the beeping while Nadia and Gwen tried to wipe off the rest of the goop off. You just brunt yours off and ran as fast as you could as the ring beeped.

Y/N: When I find you, there will be plenty of punching.

Venom: Fuck em up, kid!

You spotted someone duck into an alley which caused you to grip the ring tighter.

Y/N: I see you!

You followed them into the alley where they turned behind another building. You followed them, but stopped when you saw who it was.

You almost dropped the ring.

???: Hey. This isn't how I wanted us to meet again. I'm so sorry.

Venom: Kid, who isss thisss?

You shook your head trying to process what you were seeing. This can't be real. It couldn't be her.

Y/N: Felicia?
