I put my headphones in, listening to music whilst strolling through Queens. I told Happy that I had this and didn't need him to drive. Besides he already had a lot on his plate from Dad and I wanted to give him a bit of a break.

I walked to the address Peter sent to me beforehand. I climbed the stairs searching for apartment 187, Bingo.

I knocked on the door, plastering a smile on my face. I soon felt a burst of wind coming my way, then there he was in all his glory. "Parker!" I greeted. "What's up?" I said entering his house.

"Give me your jacket." He offered. I politely obliged and gave it to him. He then directed me to sit by the dining table near the kitchen. This place is so small, but so homey. It looks sentimental and like it's filled with memories and love. Just like the tower, but smaller.

I sat down, taking out my stuff and setting it on the table. He sat down next to me, Even though this mission was purely professional; It didn't hurt to mess with him. So I scooted a bit closer.

"So, I feel like we should start by explaining Boyle's Law and it's formula, then we can solve some problems." He said. I nodded.

He opened the textbook to the required page and started explaining the figure on it. "So the molecular structure corresponds to the example." He explained. "Oh um, I can't quite see." I scooted even closer and then ended up inches away from his face.

I could feel his breath on my neck getting closer and closer. His eyes shifted from my eyes to my lips. "Where's your restroom? I need to use it." I said, breaking the tension.

"Down the hall, to your left." He faltered.

"Thanks."

I walked away smirking, and entered the bathroom.

"Friday, I need you to set up a mic in Peter's room for tonight, then I need you to send the data recorded to my watch." I whispered.

"Of course, Y/n." Friday replied.

I sneakily left the bathroom, then proceeded to go into Peter's room to see if he was hiding a suit or anything.

Old tech, bunk bed, crowded messy floor with disgusting empty takeout boxes. Man he really needs to clean up.

I scanned the room seeing through the ceiling, wait a minute, there seems to be something stuck in between the tile of the ceiling. I quietly took down the tile and saw the disaster he calls a suit. He really needs an upgrade.

I took pictures, then I snuck back into the bathroom.

After that I sent the pictures to Happy and Dad.

I left the bathroom abruptly. "Sorry, did I take long?" I asked innocently. "No, no. Not at all, sit." He reassured.

For the next hour or so he proceeded to teach me things I already knew. "Hey Peter, thanks for offering to tutor me." You made him, idiot. "Anyways, this has been really fun, but I have to go." I smiled.

"Sure, did you understand anything though?" He questioned. "Yeah, yeah don't worry. With your master teaching skills how could I not?" I laughed. I shouldn't hate him, he doesn't deserve this.

"Alright, well see you tomorrow." He smirked handing me my jacket. I bid my goodbyes then left, walking back to The Avengers tower.

The elevator doors opened and I stepped out groggily, tired from the useless teaching.

"What did I tell you? I know my daughter's a superstar!" Dad came hugging me.

I melted into his hug, thanking him. This nightmare is finally over. I don't have to be a stalker anymore.

"Okay so when are you going to recruit him?" I asked. "Tomorrow after school." He replied. "I don't have to stalk him anymore, correct?" To which my Father nodded.

"But." Uh oh here it comes. "I do need you to stay in school." He commanded. "WHAT? HELL NO! What's wrong with you!? I'm already much smarter than these kids, and you know it." I threw a tantrum, I was honestly over this whole high school bullshit.

"For how long?" I asked furiously. "I don't know, but it's too risky to drop out now and I can't afford anymore risky moves." He pleaded. "You're a billionaire, Dad you can afford anything." I said rolling my eyes.

"I can't afford losing you." He guilt tripped. "I hate it when you do that." I mumbled. As much as I was angry at my Dad for making me stay in school, I couldn't imagine what would happen if I lost him one day.

"I hate when you manipulate me." I sniveled. "I'm not manipulating you, think of it as, being cautious." He consoled. "Being cautious my ass." I rolled my eyes once more.

"Hey everyone." I greeted The Avengers situated in Dad and I's living quarters, I got several greetings back from each.

For the rest of the night I watched some TV with Nat and Vision, then we ordered pizza.

Soon it was about 11 PM "Alright everyone, it's time for me to hit the hay." I said yawning.

I groggily walked to my room, trying not to fall asleep right on the ground.

I walked home from school. Dad told me he needed Happy, so he could go to Peter's place and recruit him. Instead of making him go through the trouble of finding another driver I insisted on walking home.

I assured him that I would be safe and if anything happened I can always have my suit right out of my nanotech watch.

For a couple of hours I had nothing to do, so I went into an alleyway nearby, I pressed the secret morse code I had for my suit activation, and soon my body was covered by my suit.

"Good Afternoon, Black Cat. How may I help you?" Ocith greeted. Ocith is my suit's AI, and it stands for "Of Course I'm The Hero" My Dad always sticks to abbreviations and I wanted to keep the tradition.

"Ocith I told you a million times to call me Y/n." I laughed. "My apologies Y/n." "Okay I need you to show me a map of New York, today. Have there been any assholes that need taking care of?" I asked.

"I can sense something on my radar. It looks like a human body swinging around Queens." You've gotta be shitting me, he's late! My dad's waiting for him. I shot my grappling hook to an apartment complex. Then I jumped from building to building until I reached Queens.

"Hey, Spider-Thing." I yelled from across the building. He turned around cluelessly, then traced down my voice. "Hell—woah." He exclaimed. He swung over to me. "And you must be...?" He asked taking my hand into his then kissing it. I snatched my hand away from his grip.

"First of all, consent is key. Second, I'm Black Cat." I grumbled. "Alright, sorry then." He lifted his hands up in defense and backed away. I could probably sense the smirk on his arrogant face.

"That's quite the costume you've got there, halloween's not for another 2 months." I mocked. "Excuse you, but this is not a costume, it's my suit." He defended. "Yeah sure." I laughed. "How can you even see through those goggles?" I gibed. I went to touch them but he backed away almost instantly.

"Shouldn't you be somewhere, Wall crawler? You shouldn't be called a superhero if girls distract you that easily." I teased. I knew I was making him late, but teasing him was so much fun.

I was faced with seconds of silence, in order for him to come up with a witty response. "I don't know, kitten. Maybe you're attracted to me, and want to distract me." He asserted. Excuse me? Parker, where's all this confidence coming from?

"Woah, woah, woah, let's not jump to conclusions here, Spidey. You're the one who flirted first, if anything, you're attracted to me." I rolled my eyes.

"Anyways, I gotta bounce." I said winking. "No! Wait!" He shouted. I shot my grappling hook at a nearby building and left him dumbfounded.

I was home waiting for my Dad to come bearing the spider news, and so he did. The Parker mission was officially concluded. Or at least I thought it was.

Friday said Dad needed me in his lab for a talk. Which never meant anything good for me.

I walked into the lab anxiously, playing with my fingers afraid of what my father will request next.

"Listen to me Y/n and you need to listen to me carefully." He spoke sternly.

"3 Days from now is the fight between Cap and I. Obviously you'll be on my team." I knew what was coming, this is why he wanted Parker isn't it? Please let me be wrong.

"That Parker kid is on my team too, you'll be fighting alongside each other, as partners. He's Spider-Man." He informed. Oh you've gotta be shitting me, Tony.

"This is why you wanted Parker!? To replace me!?" I asked furiously. These past few days I have been getting angrier and angrier, all because of a certain new member joining us. Dad's never welcomed anyone this fast, not even me.

"I'm not gonna replace you sweetie, you need to calm down." He consoled. "CALM DOWN!? OLD MAN YOU DON'T TELL A TEENAGE GIRL TO CALM DOWN!" I yelled angrily.

"Friday, Jesus! Friday! Initiate intruder lockdown alert!" My Father yelled frantically. I could tell he was afraid to face the wrath of a hormonal teenage girl, but that's fathers for you.

I soon was; quite literally, kicked out of the lab into the hallway. I ran to my room and slammed the door shut, locking it.

I screamed into my pillow, angry tears dampening the cotton fabric. I screamed until I almost passed out. I started kicking and screaming some more, I've never thrown a tantrum, but this, this was something so infuriating that I couldn't even stand to keep in anymore.

"Hey Hap, please let Dad keep my identity a secret from Spider-Man. I don't want Peter to know I'm Black Cat or Tony's daughter." I warned Happy to tell Dad because momentarily I was angry at my Father.

Peter Parker, I resent you.
