Spider-Man, Volume 1, Issue #9: The Cat, The Claw, and The Talon, part 2
Leaping from wall to wall, I follow Black Cat. She's dashing through these long hallways pretty quickly. I lose track of how many lefts and rights we've taken, as I come across these big wide doors. They are already wide open, as I land on the ground and start walking through. Where'd she go? As I start scanning the room, my spider sense starts to ring. I'm not able to react in time, as she gets the drop on me. As I'm turning around, her foot collides with my face, and I fall down to the ground. No surprise here, but she does a backflip, and lands on her feet. She pulls out a canister, and sprays around her. Lasers appear, and one is an inch from my face. I leap up and onto the wall nearby. Black Cat leaps up onto the second level, and through the laser field, and grabs a set of files.
"I'll be taking that.." With a thwip, I pull the files towards me. My webs narrowly miss the lasers, and I grab the files with my right hand.
"Awwh don't be like that.. What if we split the take? Could be a force to be reckoned with if we teamed up."
"As tempting as it is with current money problems, I'm afraid I'll have to decline. You know how it is.. With great power, comes great responsibility. Or maybe you don't. I don't know."
"You sure like to ramble on and on. Fine by me though, as it makes things easier for me." She nimbly makes her way through the lasers, and jumps at me, with what looks to be claws extending from her fingers. I raise my feet up, but she uses the opportunity to bounce off my feet, grabbing the file in a quick instant, and pulls out a gun. She fires it at the wall furthest away from me. The rope retracts into the gun as she propels herself to the wall. It's then that I hear a loud crashing sound. Looking up, I see the glass of the skylight roof fall down to the ground. The alarm sounds, and a figure repels down to the ground, and disconnects from the wire. The figure moves up the stairs to the second level of the room, and notices the files aren't there.
"Where are they?" I hear the figure yell out. This voice is also feminine.
"Man, another one? What is it? National stealing day?"
"Looking for these?" Black Cat waves the files as she lands on the ground.
Other Thief: "My employer is paying me a lot to get these files. Hand them over Kitty Cat. Otherwise, things will turn ugly."
BC: "Yeah, that's not gonna happen."
"Another competitor of Roxxon? But who?"
"Like I would tell you, hero boy." She pulls out something from her belt, and throws it at Black Cat. That side of the room illuminates, as the flash bang goes off.
"Hero boy? Really? That's the best you can come up with?"
"Aghh!" Black Cat drops the files, and I shoot out a web, pulling it towards me. The other thief quickly pulls out a knife, and cuts the line before it reaches me. I leap off the wall onto the ground. Weaving through tables and chairs, she and I dash for the files, as Black Cat regains her senses. I just got to buy some time before the authorities show. Shouldn't be too hard. She just barely reaches the file, and runs for the door. Leaping over her, I attach my web to her helmet, and pull down as I land. She catches herself before she falls flat on her face, but it was enough for her helmet to come off. Not shocking, but I have no idea who she is. She sweeps my legs, and makes a break for it. Black Cat tackles the other girl, and grabs the files. They exchange blows, each getting good hits off. They seem to be evenly matched. Suddenly, the thief tries to get up, and slips, much like I did earlier tonight. Hmm, one time, ok sure whatever.. But now it's happened twice. Maybe the Cat actually has powers of some sort? Black Cat takes the opportunity to grab the files. She ends up doing some weird parkour like movement to get up to the second level, before shooting her claw gun up and over the skylight, on the roof. She seems to be making some sort of face at me, as I can see movements in the mask. The other girl grabs her helmet, and puts it on. She then attaches herself to her repel wire, and repels up, as the police come through the doors.
"Why is it that I'm the only one left for them to see.. Now they'll think I'm the criminal.." I jump on, and then off the wall, towards the ceiling. Attaching my swingline, I swing myself up and over, onto the roof. The police shoot at me while I'm doing this. They being terrible shots, miss me each time. Once I land on the roof, I notice both of the thieves diving off the side of the building, with Black Cat in front. I run to the side they're on, and go into diving position before I dive down. I see Black Cat attach her clawline to a different rooftop, making her getaway. The other thief uses her wire line. As I get to the perfect height to attach my swingline, I go to press the trigger. Nothing's happening. C'monn.. I just here this clicking sound. Out of cartridges? Can't be, I restocked before I left.. Must of jammed. Really has the worst timing in the world to screw up on me.
