The Cat and Mouse Arc #3

You worked day and night against the clock. Everyone did what they could and they did it well. Kamala and Sam through out ideas while Viv, Riri, Nadia, and you worked together to do what you could. Miles, Gwen, and Danny stayed outside on patrol to make sure AIM didn't get near the house, or the neighborhood. Widow was making sure everything stayed clean and that Felicia was comfortable.

Or as comfortable as one could be with a bomb in their neck.

You worked well into the night until you were one of the last ones standing. You ended up taking over patrol for Miles and Danny so they could rest while Riri and Viv kept working.

By the time the sun came up, everyone was passed out in the living room with Widow doing patrol. You and Felicia were stacked on each other on the floor while Sam and Miles were passed out around the chair that Danny had claimed as his own. On the couch was Nadia and Riri who were cuddling while Gwen and Kamala were both half way in the kitchen using cardboard boxes as pillows.

The only one still awake was Viv who was still working on a machine that could potentially help.

You were all running out of ideas.

And the clock was still ticking.

Monster:
Year 1

Knock knock knock

Y/N: Zombie hamburger!

Venom: You really need to sssee a therapisssst about thessse dreamsss, kid.

You shook your head and looked around. Everyone was still asleep except for Viv.

Knock knock knock

You made your way out from under Felicia who just groaned and rolled over as you made your way to the door. You suddenly stopped. What if that was AIM?

You popped out one claw and took a deep breath before you cracked the door open.

Matt: Y/N?

Y/N: Oh, Mr. Murdock. Morning.

You opened the door and found the blind lawyer himself standing there.

Matt: Sorry for the intrusion, kid. It's just, I tried calling but it seems like everyone turned off their phones. Is there a....has someone been welding in there?

Y/N: Yeah. Uh, we had, uh, a bit of a sleepover last night. Everyone turned off their phones.

Matt: A bunch of teens without their phones? I can't even get them to put them away in court.

Suddenly, Nadia poked her head out from behind you.

Nadia: Mr. Murdock! Did we have an appointment today?

Matt fixed his shoulder bag and shook his head.

Matt: About that, I got us a preliminary hearing this morning. I've been trying to reach you since last night.

Nadia: Oh. Well, that'll have to wait. Come on in.

You and Nadia walked back into the house while Matt stood there for a moment. He just sighed and followed you inside.

Matt: "Have to wait"? Nadia, I don't think you understand the importance...

Nadia: No, I do. But that will work out. We're dealing with something more important right now.

You entered the living room where you found everyone waking up and getting back to work while Sam got eveeyone coffee. Danny spotted Matt and waved tiredly as he pulled his mask back on.

Matt: What could be more important?

You got a cup of coffee and turned back towards Matt.

Y/N: My friend's head is going to explode in roughly 12 hours.

You then held out the cup.

Y/N: Coffee?
----------
Matt rubbed his temples after you explained the situation to him. Danny and Miles headed out to find Widow and bring her back to validate your claims even further, though Matt was convinced.

Matt: So, an extralegal organization is attempting to kidnap you. They sent your best friend/childhood friend after you with a bomb in her neck. Do you have more coffee?

Gwen: Yes!

Y/N: What do you think?

Matt took the coffee from Gwen and sighed.

Matt: Why didn't you call the Avengers?

Felicia: I'm being tracked. If they think I was going to expose them, they'll detonate the bomb.

Matt: If I had more time I could call some people. What do you plan on doing?

Kamala: We're working to try and disarm it.

Matt: And if you can't?

You shook your head.

Y/N: I won't let that happen.

Venom: Kid, cool it. You're losssing control again.

Suddenly, everyone's phones started to go off. Everyone looked at the table where they were sitting.

Matt: I thought you said your phones were turned off.

Nadia: They were.

You all moved to the table as Matt leaned against the wall. Suddenly, he felt his phone go off. He felt for it in his breast pocket.

Matt: Who's calling me?

Matt answered.

Matt: Hello?

You looked at your phone but realized there wasn't even a number. Matt turned to you and held out his phone.

Matt: It's for you. Said he wants to talk. Said he was your father.

Everyone looked at you as you clenched your fists. You marched over and grabbed the phone.

Y/N: Listen here you piece of shit! I'm not playing your fucking game!

???: Now, is that anyway to talk to your creator? That last time we spoke, I thought you would be destroyed in that base.

Wait, this voice. You heard it before. He was the one who called you a Godslayer.

???: You'll do best to respect me, boy. Or the girl will blow her top.

Y/N: Don't you threaten her!

Everyone took a step back as your voice became almost feral. Every word now had a growl to it. An edge.

???: Threaten?

Suddenly, Felicia's neck began to beep she backed herself to a corner and kept everyone away.

Felicia: No, no, no, no, no! Everybody get back!

Nadia: Felicia?

Felicia: Stay back! I don't know how big it'll be. I don't want to hurt anyone.

???: Now do I have your attention?

Venom: Kid, calm down! He'll blow the bomb!

You took a deep breath and let it out.

???: Good. Because I'm going to offer you a deal, and only once. In return to you returning to us voluntarily, I'll let the pretty kitty walk free. But if you refuse, let me know and I'll reclaim the girl by my own terms. Of course, you'll want to get to cover. Bones can do some serious damage when propelled by explosive force.

You clenched your fists and lowered your head. Turn yourself over to the very men who forced you through hell for the first 10 years of your life, or have Felicia die.

???: So, what is your decision, Y/N?

You looked back to Felicia and the others. You then grabbed the phone.

Y/N: Fine. You win.

Everyone watched as you took the phone off of speaker and listened to the man's demands. You agreed to them and he hung up. You clenched the phone before you tossed it aside.

Viv: Why did you agree?

Kamala: Now you're going to be taken back to that lab!

Y/N: I know.

Nadia: They're going to hurt you.

Y/N: I know.

Felicia: Y/N...

Y/N: I have a plan. But I need everyone to listen.

Danny and Miles also walked in with Widow who immediately noticed the tense air in the house.

Widow: What happened?

Y/N: The man who made me what I am wants me to turn myself over to him in exchange for Felicia. I'm supposed to meet one of his men on a rooftop in the city. From there, they'll take me away by helicopter.

Danny: What...

Y/N: It's safe to assume he has a collar like the one Felicia used on me. I won't be able to use my powers and Venom is even powerless against it. So I'm going to walk right up to him and turn myself over.

Widow: Are you crazy?

Venom: Abssssolutely.

Y/N: I don't want any of you to talk me out of this or stop me. My imprisonment verus Felicia's life? That's not a choice. What the rest of you are going to do is work to take that damn bomb out of Felicia's neck. I'm going to take an earpiece with me. I'll buy you every second I can.

You grabbed your jacket and started heading towards the door.

Y/N: If you get her freed and I'm still not captured, let me know and I'll run. But if this is the last time I see you all, I'm sorry. Don't ever stop saving lives. Keep the Program alive. And for the love of God, keep being amazing heroes.

You walked out the door as everyone watched.

Y/N: Monster, out.

Before anyone could stop you, you were in the air flying off toward the city. Everyone watched you from the front yard, only a trail of flames to tell where you were.

Felicia clenched her fists as her eyes shifted.

Cat: Everyone, I don't care what you have to do or how bad it hurts. Get this thing out of me so we can call him off!

She marched back into the house.

Nadia: I think I can do some basic surgery but I'm not going to hurt anyone.

Riri: Me neither. There's always another way.

Viv: I will hurt her.

Everyone looked at her.

Miles: Dude.

Viv: She is important to Y/N. If that is what it takes to save her and protect him, then I will do what I have to.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They all filed into the house while Widow and Matt were left alone.

Widow: I'm not a science expert, but I need to be here for the kids. You want some tea, Matt?

Matt shook his head.

Matt: But I think I should, take a walk around the neighborhood.

Widow nodded.

Widow: Suit yourself.

Matt just smirked.

Matt: You got it, Nat.
-------------
You reached the building that the man on the phone said would be the meet up spot. You landed on the roof and found a man standing there looking at the setting sun.

???: Hmmm. The sunsets in New York are just magical, aren't they?

You just stood there with clenched fists as the man turned around. Your eyes grew wide at who it was.

Taskmaster: So, Y/N, the Godslayer. It's so good to meet you again. Last time, well, you couldn't even walk yet.

You tried your best to keep calm. You had to.

Y/N: Let Felicia go.

Taskmaster: You don't get to make demands. Now, come to your big brother.

Y/N: You're not my brother. You're not my family.

Taskmaster laughed as he walked over to you. He stopped laughing and punched you in the gut which knocked the air out of you. You dropped to your knees before he kicked you in the face.

Taskmaster: You'll learn to shut up and take orders before long, Godslayer.

He grabbed you by your hair and punched you again before he dropped you on the ground. He walked away for a moment before he sighed.

Taskmaster: Why do you even care about what happens to the broad? You're not supposed to make attachments. Unless that moron never got to the programing.

You spat out some blood as you tried to push yourself up. Suddenly, something landed in front of you. A collar.

Taskmaster: Put it on.
-----------
Meanwhile, back at the Pym Household, everyone worked as fast as they could to get the bomb out. Finally, it came to one decision.

Riri: We have to let Viv phase in her head and pull it out.

Nadia: That's our only option at this point.

Felicia: Fine! I don't care! Just do it! Do it and call Y/N back here!

Widow watched this happen before she sighed.

Widow: Do it. Now. Someone get me the coms.

Miles tossed her the mic that was hooked to your earpiece. Meanwhile, Nadia and Riri sat Felicia down on the chair.

Danny walked over but stopped when he saw something in the window.

Danny: Oh no. AIM'S here!

Everyone looked at the window to see men with rifles rushing towards the house. Widow pulled out a baton and turned to the girls.

Widow: Get that bomb handled! Anyone who isn't working on it, get outside and kick some ass!

Everyone nodded and hurried outside while Viv looked at the bomb.
----------
Taskmaster: Put it on, kid. I ain't got all day.

You looked at the collar and slowly started to reach for it. But you remembered everything. All the pain and suffering.

Taskmaster: Hurry up. Or I'll hit the button.

He held up the detonator.

Taskmaster: Five, four...

Y/N: Alright! Alright. I'll do it.

You grabbed the collar and sighed.

Venom: Don't do it, kid. There'sss ssstill time.

Y/N: No, there isn't, Ven. I have to do this.

You lifted the collar up and slowly began to put it on.
---------
Viv worked quickly and grabbed a hold of the bomb. She pulled it out as it began to beep rapidly.

She then threw it through the window where everyone was in the middle of a fight.

Viv: Bombs away!

Kamala: Was that joke?

Everyone looked at the bomb with wide eyes.

Gwen: Not a joke!

Everyone jumped out of the way as the bomb erupted. Widow quickly grabbed the mic and yelled into it.

Widow: Y/N...
----------
Widow: We got the bomb out!

You stopped and smiled slowly.

Taskmaster: Zero.

He pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. He did it again but the result was the same.

Taskmaster: What the hell?

You stood up with the collar in your hand. You lifted it up and crushed it in your hand with a smirk.

Y/N: Now, as much as I want to kick your ass, I got to go help my family kick your men's asses. But, you ain't off the hook just yet.

Before Taskmaster could react, you punched him in the jaw which sent him flying across the roof, disloacting it.

Y/N: The next time we meet, I will kill you for this.

You ignited your feet and blasted off to return to the house. This will have to wait for now.

But you'll get your payback eventually.
---------
You made it back to the house and found the entire neighborhood turned into a war zone. You dropped in and immediately sent several men flying with a flaming fist.

Danny: Monster!

You smiled as you grabbed an AIM soldier by the collar of his uniform.

Y/N: Thanks, guys. I definitely owe you a million.

Sam: You can start paying it back by helping us take these guys down!

He blasted some men while Riri showed up in her suit. She fired off rockets to the incoming drones before she blasted off to fight some more.

You ducked under a man's gunfire before you popped back up and sliced his rifle in two. You then kicked him into the armored vehicle which caused it to dent.

Your senses went off as one of the men aimed a gun at you from behind.

AIM soldier: You're coming with us...ack!

He found himself dropped when someone hit him from behind. You smiled at who it was.

Daredevil: I was in the neighborhood.

Y/N: Thanks, DD!

Danny: About time you showed up!

You froze a man before you used him as a weapon against his friends. You sent him to the tree.

Viv: They are evacuating. Radio chatter suggests they were ordered to do so.

Just as she said, everyone began to rush back to the vehicles in a state of retreat. Everyone else was left behind defeated.

Widow looked over to you and sighed in relief at your safety. You looked over to her and she just smiled.

Widow: Go. Check on her.

You smiled and nodded in thanks. Everyone watched as you rushed inside where you found Nadia helping Felicia to her feet. She was bleeding from where the bomb was, but she was safe now.

She looked up when she heard you enter. She rushed over to you and hugged you which you happily returned.

Felicia: You got away! Thank God!

Everyone made it back into the house as Matt called in a SHEILD cleanup crew. The police were already on their way but you didn't care about of that.

Felicia was safe. You were still freed.

Felicia: I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for hurting you.

Y/N: Nah, never apologize. You know I can't hate you.

Felicia and you separated and you looked at the blood that was dripping down her neck.

Y/N: Are you sure you're alright?

Felicia just shrugged.

Felicia: I feel lighter. But, I gotta say. You made some amazing friends.

You looked back at everyone and smiled.

Y/N: Yeah. I guess I did.

Venom: If you don't ssshut up and kisss her, I will lossse my ssshit.

You blushed at the comment. Oh, yeah. Venom was in your head and knew everything. Right. Well, oh, what the hell?

You grabbed Felicia and kissed her which caught everyone off guard. But, Felicia was quick to return the gesture.

Venom: Way to go, champ!

Widow: Aww~ Now I have to take in another brat. I better get paid more for this.

Kamala: FANFIC IDEA!

Everyone else smiled at the sweet moment, some nervously, as the sun began to set. You both separated and you blushed a bit.

Y/N: Sorry, I...

Felicia: I'll consider it payback. Thank....you.....

She began to sway which immediately got eveeyone worried. You caught her before she could fall as blood began to leak through her nose.

Y/N: Felicia?! Cat?! Somebody call the doctors! Somebody! Hurry!
