Somethings wrong, that's something I've been slowly realizing with Felicia during her time here. She's been flirty with me, very flirty which is normal for her but not this much. Especially when it's aimed at me. Then there's the dance, it felt magnificent. Even though she was the one taking the lead with me following it dug up some old feelings. Feelings I'm not going to act on because as I've said before I want to go back but at the same time don't. There's one thing I've learned very clearly now: I've hurt a lot of people due to my asshole behavior. Way more than I thought.

Jumping onto the side of a building I tried to think of a place I could find her. When I told her we would talk later the look of disappointment on her face told me all I needed to know. Seeing her swing away also told me she needed a quiet space to be by herself. Oh god I'm such an idiot. It was our favorite place to watch the city at night. The empire state building.

Thankfully I wore my suit to the party just in case something happened and it wasn't too far from the empire state building too. Climbing the side of the building I got to the top quickly. Pulling myself up I already saw Felicia sitting on the ledge one leg hanging over the edge and hugging the other close to her chest. Looking at her I could tell she didn't have a smirk or smile like she usually does. Walking over I sat down next to her looking out over the city with her. We sat in silence deciding I'll let her talk to me first when she wants to.

"Can we take off the masks?", she suddenly said. I reached up pulling my mask off while she took her domino mask off.

"What's going on Felicia? talk to me"

"I left them Jack. My parents", Felicia started with a sad look. This surprised me since I knew she didn't get along with her parents but to completely leave them was unthinkable.

"How long have you been on your own?", I asked, earning a smirk.

"Five months, been using the things I've stolen to fund my endeavors which included that nice penthouse"

"Seems to be doing well then", I commented. Her smirk soon vanished.

"I left because they wanted to wed me off to some other well known rich family. Of course I told them how I disagreed with it but they didn't want to hear it. The longer I stayed with them the longer I felt like I was caged. Cats don't like being in cages Jack", she said tears forming in her eyes. Seeing the pain in them made me realize why she came to New York.

"you came for me"

"....yeah"

"You want me to come with you"

"Yeah", she said with a tear running down her face. Turning my body to her I wiped the tear away as she nervously chuckled, wiping her eyes herself.

"Thanks. I came here because after a few months I was having the time of my life but then I got lonely. I started thinking about the time we had together and how happy we were. You told me about how your parents were killed and I saw first hand the anger you had from it. When we were together I saw it beginning to slowly go away. Other than your aunt you don't have anything here Jack. We could travel the world together and be happy! you want to be happy don't you?", she said with tears running down her face. In one night I've made two girls cry. Real nice Jack, Real nice. Looking at her I let my head hang before letting out a long sigh. She just turned back to the city not liking my reaction.

Deciding to be bold I slid next to her wrapping my arms around her waist with my head resting on her shoulder. She always liked it when I did this. She found it calming being in my arms. She leaned her head into my chest calming down. Cuddling up we sat there for a while enjoying each other's company before I spoke.

"If you asked me a week ago if I would go away with you, I would say yes. You were the best thing to come into my life Felicia and it hurt when you left. Those scars still linger but instead of using the same reason of things have changed to why I'm saying no let me explain what happened recently"

So I told her everything. My trip to another dimension similar to ours where a superhero called Spider-man protected New York City. The other Spidermen I met and how they had powers like mine. How we stopped a collider from destroying the city taking on an evil mob boss along with other strange adversaries. I also told her about the Gwen from another universe and how she helped me through a tough time along with how I discovered things about myself during my time there. How I found what I wanted to do with my powers and how I wanted to be a better person. After I finished my story there was silence between the two as I rested my head on top of hers.

"I can't blame you then. Going through all of that of course you wouldn't come back the same. Though I still see the reasons I fell in love with you", Felicia said now smiling. She looked up at me as I looked down at her. She reached up, catching my lips with hers. The kiss was gentle but told me how she felt.

(Music Ends)

"Your heart belongs to someone else now it seems. I may have not gotten the answer I wanted but I did get closure", she said smiling before standing up. She stretched before putting her domino mask back on. Standing up I pulled my mask back on standing next to her looking over the city again.

"I have to say Jack, I do like this new you. It's nice to see you healing. I especially love the suit, it makes you look very sexy and intimidating. It's been nice seeing you Jacky", Felicia said. Though she couldn't see it I had a sad smile. Then I remember what she just said.

"Wait, what do you mean my heart belongs to someone else now?", I asked confused.

"You'll figure it out", she said with a playful smirk. I couldn't help but chuckle at her mysterious nature, just like a cat. Looking out at the city a thought came to me.

"Let's go get that painting. For old times sake"

"Really!?"

"Really"

-----------------------------------------------

"You would think they would have beefed up security after your first try", I said as Felicia hung up her new painting in a secret room of the penthouse. There were other paintings and statues in the room all stolen of course. She took a step back admiring it before turning around walking out with me in tow.

"right!? I was even able to hack into the cameras and play the same loop!", she said with a laugh. We walked out entering her living room to see trash scattered about from the party.

Thankfully when we got back everyone seemed to have let themselves out so we didn't have to worry about walking in in costume. Got a little worried though because I didn't see Peter here at all. One quick phone call I found out MJ was keeping an eye on him and brought him home after he had a little too much to drink. Thankfully Aunt May hasn't called me, she actually lifted my grounding hearing Peter was coming with happy to see me making friends. I warned him about drinking too much. Poor guy is about to have his first hangover experience.

"Happy your friend's ok by the way"

"Me too, I warned him about drinking too much. Though I do still feel bad about abandoning him. He did end up getting some one on one time with MJ his crush so maybe he won't be too mad"

"Go him, let me walk you out", Felicia said, leading me to her front door. Opening the door I walked out but stopped sharing a look with Felicia.

"See you around Felicia"

"See ya jack. You do know, you could stay a little longer", she said with a smirk. She thinks she's sly but I know what she was getting at.

"Not this time Felicia. Also if you're ever back in New York or need help. Don't be afraid to call"

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind and the same of course goes for you. Also don't worry, if I'm in town you'll know. Stay safe, spooky", she said, closing the door. When she closed the door I just let out an annoyed grunt.

"Great, now that's a nickname", I said before heading to the elevator to make my way home.

Standing in the elevator I played tonight's events back through my head. This led to me thinking about all the trouble I've caused over the years. Thinking about how much I unintentionally hurt Gwen which led me to think about the people I've hurt alongside her. Well the ones not deserving. Though there had been one I made sure to never hurt during that time and it was Aunt May. Woman's done so much for me, it's the least I could do. On top of that I also had feelings I was unsure of for multiple things. It was to a point I felt like I needed to talk to someone about this but I didn't want to talk to a shrink. They make me uneasy and I don't trust them. So I went for someone who may be able to help. Reaching into my pocket I called a number I never thought I would use.

"Hope he's awake", I said worriedly. If he's not awake I'm sure he's going to kill me for waking him. That's if he remembers me.

"Who is it?", a gruff voice answered. Good, we're at a good start.

"It's me Jack"

"Don't know a Jack'

"It's spook jackass", I said annoyed.

"Spook? well I guess you did use that number. Didn't actually expect you to give me a call. What can I help you with kid?"

"I've had some events come up in my life that have me asking questions, life questions along with "Heroing" questions. Questions I was hoping to ask you in person. you free sometime this week?", I explained really hoping he said Yes. If anyone could help it would be him. Guys got years of experience. 

"A lot had to happen if you decided to take that path. Lucky for you I'm free Thursday, you?"

"Works for me"

"Good, meet me where we first mat at say 4pm? Sure your still in school so should work out for you"

"Perfect"

"Be seeing you bub"
