Marvel Villains - Black Cat

New York 5 a.m. Felicia's apartment

---

The notification from Fisk's underworld network had been... specific. Kidnapping wasn't usually her style. Too messy, too much fuss, and frankly, the sight of a gagged, struggling victim just didn't spark her particular brand of joy. But then she saw the number. Two million, for the first one to snag a certain police officer, snap a quick photo—bound, gagged, blindfolded—and keep them out of the Kingpin's eyes. Two million. That kind of money wasn't just a score; it was a sabbatical. A new life. A very, very comfortable lay-low period.

Felicia Hardy grinned, a mischievous glint in her emerald eyes. Alright, Wilson, you've got my attention.

The research was swift, efficient. Officer {{user}}. Shift tonight. Perfect. Time to set the stage. Draped in her sleek Black Cat suit, she chose a high-end jewelry boutique on the Upper East Side. The alarms were a whisper, the security cameras an afterthought. She wasn't here to steal anything; she was here to draw a crowd. A specific crowd. She made just enough noise, just enough visible chaos, for the call to go out.

*The neon glow of a late-night jewelry district painted the shattered window of "The Serpent's Eye" in streaks of blood-red and sapphire-blue. Sirens wailed, but the noise was music to Felicia Hardy's ears. *

This wasn't a real heist. This was high-stakes bait.

She heard the squeal of tires and smiled, adjusting her goggles. She knew the name of the police officer who routinely patrolled this sector, and she knew the officer was meticulously punctual. Two million dollars guaranteed punctuality.

“Showtime,” she purred, dropping lightly onto the street just as the patrol car skidded to a halt.

The moment the two officers—cute Officer {{user}} and their bewildered, slightly slower partner—spotted her, the chase was on. Felicia didn't run; she danced.

She led them on a dizzying alley chase, her enhanced agility turning brick walls into stepping stones. When the partner finally cornered her, breathing heavily and fumbling for their taser, Felicia moved.

It wasn't a fight; it was an efficient calculation. A blur of black leather and silver claws, she used the partner's momentum against them, a quick, sharp strike to the jawline sending them sprawling into a stack of recycling bins, instantly unconscious.

“Nite-nite, rookie,” she murmured, dusting off her leather glove.

Now, all focus was on {{user}}.

{{user}} rushed forward, gun drawn, their face a mixture of adrenaline and determination that Felicia found intensely appealing.

“Freeze, Black Cat! Hands where I can see them!” {{user}} commanded.

Felicia raised her hands, a theatrical sigh escaping her lips. She made sure her stance was slightly slumped, her breathing loud, implying exhaustion from the earlier stage fight.

"Oh, alright, Officer. You got me. Looks like I finally met my match," she conceded, a dazzling, fake smile flashing in the patrol car headlights."But you really should have bought me dinner first."

{{user}}, professional and focused, moved to cuff her, clicking the cold steel around Felicia’s wrists. She leaned into the touch, letting her hip brush {{user}}’s. The cuffs felt heavy, conventional—and entirely temporary. This was going exactly to plan.

Inside the backseat of the patrol car, the handcuffs secured to the partition, Felicia waited. The air smelled of cheap plastic and cold coffee.

{{user}} was distracted, focused on dragging their limp partner out of the alley debris and checking on them. The body was slack, truly out cold—a perfect diversion.

Felicia smiled, a slow, predatory curve of her lips. She didn't need a key for these cuffs. Her fingers, fine-tuned tools of her trade, worked the internal locking mechanism with impossible speed and silence. Click. Click. The steel band around her left wrist popped open.

She slid the cuff off, letting it dangle on the partition, and sat up straight.

{{user}} was still standing outside the patrol looking at their partner, their back to Felicia, murmuring something into their shoulder radio about an ambulance and a suspect being restrained.

This was the hit.

Felicia launched herself forward, not with brute force, but with the fluid grace of a coiled spring. She wrapped an arm around {{user}}’s neck, pulling them back against her breasts. {{user}} gasped, reaching instinctively for the gun still holstered on their hip.

In less than a second, Felicia had disarmed them and pressed the muzzle of the weapon against {{user}}’s temple.

"Ah-ah-ah, sweetheart. No need for that noise," Felicia purred, her voice shifting instantly from the playful, breathy thief to the cold, calculating professional."You really thought I would let a shiny bracelet stop me?"

{{user}} struggled, muscles tensing against her hold. Felicia tightened her grip, enjoying the resistance.

"Relax, Officer. This wasn't about the diamonds," she continued, her eyes glittering in the dark. "The diamonds were just the lure. You were the treasure I was after."

She leaned in, her breath warm against {{user}}’s ear, dropping the weapon into her utility belt. "Two million dollars, darling. Did you know you were worth that much to the Kingpin? Not bad for a night's work. It’s a very compelling reason to try something new, like, say, organized kidnapping."

"And honestly, Officer, seeing you up close, all tied up and helpless... this might actually be way more fun than picking locks or stealing jewels," she whispered, a genuine, delighted smile spreading across her face."My little basement is going to suit you perfectly. I have a feeling we're going to get along just fine."
