Marvel: A Symbiotic Life

Felicia Hardy was in a tough position, but she was used to it. When King Pin mentioned The Hand organization, she knew that she was sold out to .so she did the thing she was best at, rebelling.

She tried to attack King Pin but was subdued with ease. She knew her life would end today. Rather than living as his slave, ending her life here and now would be better. Her bad luck had taken away her childhood, her happiness, her family, and her mentor, and it was going to take the last thing she held dear. That was her life.

Yet she lived; she was saved. Like in a fairy tale. A Princess in distress saved by her knight in shining armor. But she was no Princess; she was a thief, and the 'person' who saved her could give any Hero or Knight a run for their money.

With fierce predatorial eyes, long sharp dagger-like teeth arranged viciously in the beast's maw; it looked like a creature coming straight out of a nightmare. Yet the creature was holding her as gently as it could with its massive arms.

She was curious about the nightmarish creature's identity, that in seconds, not only took down King Pin but also the Hand Member. Even More so, when the said beast turned into a human.

Clearing his throat, Max brought the green-eyed girl out of her stupor. She blinked a few times to make sure she was seeing right and tried to push the man away. As she tried to stand on her own, she noticed her side ached, reminding her of the damage she took from the swordsman earlier. Leaning on the charming man, she winced as her side gave in yet again, though the pain reduced a little.

"Let me help--," Max said, all the while gently holding her in his arms. As he was talking, a thin layer of black goo appeared out of his fingers, slithering towards her. The girl looked curiously, not resisting like how she used to; She allowed herself to be weak just this one time.

Max soon finished healing her side injury, replenishing her energy along with it. They would have loved to stay in that 'overused dramatic position' but they were interrupted when a thug entered the room, forcing them to break apart from each other's embrace.

Max looked at the thug with so much hate and spite that he energy blasted him right there and then. Making him scream along the way as he fell.

Clearing his throat yet again, he looked at the girl. "By the way, I'm Max." He said. "Thanks for helping me out that night." He said, smiling and scratching the back of his head.

The girl was about to reply, only to be stopped yet again by a group of screaming thugs that wanted to storm into the room, Only to be Punched by a monstrous hand, landing several meters away on the ground, groaning in pain.

Max looked back, "You were saying?" He asked with a straight face, eager to hear her reply.

"Ah… Thank you." She said, genuinely happy. "Thank you for saving me." She ended with a giggle when Max looked visibly pissed, as he heard more thugs gathering outside the room with guns and rifles.

"I think we should continue this conversation in a more…quiet environment," Max said as he bolted out of the room and started bouldering over the thugs, tossing them left and right. He was careful not to use his webs; he didn't care if anyone saw his face, though. Because he didn't exist in the world, to begin with.

Tossing the last thug out of a Window, he dusted off his hands as he looked for Felica. She wasn't in that room, of course, she won't be. She left, making Max drop his shoulders slightly dejected.

"I am here, by the way." She said, standing behind him.

Hearing her voice, Max cheered up, stood straight, spun about, smiling. She stood there giggling at his antics, holding a bag over her shoulder.

Max snickered at the girl; she had cleared the King Pin's office of all the 'leftovers'

"So, you want to grab a…" his speech was cut off when he heard an alarm from his Kimoye Bead. Grumbling, he took the Bead out; it showed the location of a specific individual.

Felicia saw that and was visibly surprised, "That's my mother." She said quietly.

"Don't worry. She's near." He said as he started to walk, getting out of the factory. "Just try to keep up." He said, making the girl raise an eyebrow.

Max jumped onto a nearby roof and started running east from the factory. Occasionally, jumping over buildings to get there faster. Looking back, he saw the Black Cat follow him. It was tough for her to carry that heavy bag. And like the gentleman he was, he offered her a hand. "I can carry it if you want." He said only to be refused immediately.

Max chuckled wearily, trying to ignore the awkward interaction. He didn't need to wait too long though, as their destination came into their view. Jumping down with a crouch, he stood in front of a cargo container. He held the door and pulled it open forcefully.

In the container, he saw only one person, tied to a chair, blindfolded. Before he could do anything, the girl ran to her, "Mom," she said as she removed her blindfold. The middle-aged woman looked weak and frail; even her cheekbones were showing most probably from malnutrition.

The girl tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn't stop herself as tears started to pour down her eyes. When a hand came over her shoulder, and looking back, it was Max.

"Let me." he said as he pseudo-bonded with her, healing her. The woman opened her eyes slowly.

The woman recognized her daughter with ease, even while she had her silver hair on. "Felicia, is that you?" She asked weakly, smiling as Felicia hugged her.

As the girl wept from happiness, Max left; as it wasn't his place anymore.

Max stood atop a building, observing Felicia as she got her mother to the nearest hospital. She wasn't wearing her Black Catsuit any more. Either way to him, she looked breathtaking both with and without the suit.

As he looked at Felicia entering the hospital, he thought over their short interaction. Did he make a good first impression? Did he do something wrong? Various thoughts came into his mind.

Only when he heard a person cough did he break out of his daydream. Looking back, pissed, he saw Felicia. Blooming a smile on his face, he didn't know how long he was daydreaming and how the cat burglar got here. But he didn't care, for he was happy to see her glowing face.

She giggled, shaking her head as she leaned over the railing, close to where Max was sitting on.

"Thank you." she said yet again, looking over to the city. It looked beautiful this time, she thought, smiling. 'Maybe he is the reason,' she thought, taking a glance at him.

"You know, I just returned the favor." He said. "And all the formal 'Thank you' is getting awkward don't you think?" He said, doing a backflip to land on the rooftop.

"Anyway, I'm Max." He said, holding out his hand with a small smile.

Felicia smiled, shaking his hand, "I am Felicia, Felicia Hardy." She said. "Fancy meeting you here." She said, raising an eyebrow, smirking.

"Ah… I was just…"

"Stalking me?" She finished teasing, narrowing her eyes.

"No, no, of course not." He said, visibly sweating. "Just a big fan of your work," he said.

Felicia blinked at the response breaking into a laugh. "Fan, really? I am not a superhero, you know." She said in between her laughter.

Max just scratched the back of his head, not knowing how to respond. Now he knew how Peter felt; he was just blank in front of her. Maybe he did find his kryptonite.
