I can't help falling in love with you (again) | PeterMJ

I stood there in total confusion, I was expecting some sort of gang who is wanting me for Spider-Man's identity or something, but it wasn't.

Ahead of me looked like some sort of superhero. Long white hair blowing in the wind, and wearing a suit as if it was a knock-off black widow. She was sat looking into the distance, as if she was waiting for something, or someone.

"Excuse me?" I ask closing the roof door behind me. "You're not who I expected to meet."

The girl cracks her head around, a wide smile plastered on her stereotypical superhero Masked up face. "Aren't I?"

"No." I state, looking at her.

"Well," The woman spoke, before holding up a phone - smashed, up into view. "I'm the one you've been texting, you've been really eager for this date."

"Who are you?" I tilt my head to the side as I try to figure out who she was, the heavy makeup, wig and mask didn't help at all with the identification.

"Call me Black Cat," She spoke inching closer, while I move back closer towards the door. "This is where you wanted the date, beautiful scenery." She looks around, "but on top of a school really?" I could feel her eyes judging. I stayed silent as she continued to inch closer. "I like your hair, Red. Can I call you Red?"

"Um..." I stutter, unsure what to say.

"Hey, it's a cute nickname. MJ is pretty boring."

"Im just gonna leave, I dont know why I am here, you've probably got the wrong person, I'm sorry," I turn around and go to open the door but she closed it shut before I could even open it 3 inches. I look above me as something catches the corner of my eye as it glistened in the moonlight. Sharp nails on the end of her gloves. She was definitely going all-out with the cat persona. I turn around, our noses barely touched.

"You have pretty eyes, has anyone ever told you that?"

I Shake my head, "They're just brown? There's nothing special about them."

"Really? They're one of your best features."

"Look," I begin, rolling my eyes in the process. "I'm not interested. I expected to meet someone else not you." I try to push her away, but she stayed close.

"But I'm really interested in you, Red." She glanced down at me, it was clear that she was checking me out, I didn't know if this act was fake, if so she was a great actor, I will give her that.

"I'm not." I say. "You seem cool, like a super hero or villain whatever you want to call yourself, but I'm not interested. Don't you think it's a little creepy to still expect someone to go on a date despite leading them on acting as someone else." I say shrugging, I try to hold my cool. "This is the biggest try at a catfish."

"Exactly." Black Cat says, finally pulls away slightly. "'Cat' fish. It's in the name."

"You're trying really hard to be one of those 'attractive supervillains everyone loves' aren't you? I read, you act just like them."

"I'm not so much a villain."

"I don't know what you do, is it some cool cosplay of your own character? I'm not going to say it isn't cool."

"Look Red, you're cute." She says leaning in close once again, but I barely listen when I see some red and blue swing onto the roof at the corner of my eye, I focus on him, and he puts his finger to his lip. "...I like girls who are a little ha- I know you're they're spider."

"Hmm? What no! Carry on with your date." He spoke, sarcastic, perching himself on the wall.

"Leave."

Then Black Cat was pulled, and spun away from me. Of course now I know who's behind the mask, and certain of. A twang of jealousy came over me. "Never." He spoke. "Come on leave the girl alone. She wasn't here for you."

"What? And she was here for you?"

"You two know each other?" I ask.

"He's my partner." Black Cat responds.

It felt like something broke, my heart skipped. "Partner?"

The spider fell frantic, "No, no, no! No we're not partners. She's been stealing things, and I've been trying to stop her we've met up a few times. We're not partners."

"Awe." Black Cat taunts, "Really? But you helped me with with something last week."

"Yeah, where I was left having to take a break for a week, because you stole something and the police was chasing you down, and I had to help you, and practically took the fall for you."

"You still helped me."

"You would've died otherwise."

"That still means helping, spider."

As the pair conversed I gradually headed towards the door, to leave, those two had been dealing with some stuff and I didn't want to get into that.

"Red, I know you're trying to leave." Black Cat spoke.

"Well you two seem to have something going on, and I really don't want to intrude by just standing here, so I'm going to leave."

"Witout saying goodbye?"

"Please, just let her go." Spider-Man spoke, practically face palming.

"This is the goodbye..." I grab th3 handle of the door slowly opening it. "Bye." I rush through the door, and once I'm through I crash and lean against the closed door.

What the hell just happened?

I shake my head, I felt like I just had one of the weirdest interactions, ever. I soon get home safely, I sigh as I close the door.

"You weren't out long. What happened." My dad speaks.

"He didn't show up." I say, "It's fine, people get busy." I smile, shrugging. "I'm going to my room."

I dismiss myself and make my way there, throwing my bag on my bed, and my coat on the back of my chair. I look up at the mirror ahead of me, and my heart just breaks, something was missing, the necklace was missing. I look around, I was pretty sure I wore it. But, frantically I began looking for it,  turning my room upside down in the process.

Had it fallen off somewhere I the middle of New York and is just laying on the ground? Could it be sat on the roof glistening in the moonlight because that's where it fell off? Did Black Cat steal it? Somehow.

After about twenty minutes of searching I laid on my bed. Looking up at the ceiling, it was bound to happen at some point, but boy was it disappointing.

[I never do authors notes but I feel it's needed. It's been a few months since an update due to my mental health hitting a low, I want to continue this as I know a lot of people like it and I thank you for that. I was going to end it at a mere 15 chapters and it was going to be a short story however, I decided to continue it and make the story longer, I don't know how long for, however I can assure you it's not ending soon! I love this story as much as you do, so while I've had my little break I've been adding to the plot to make it longer, and doing my research on some characters. I assure you you will enjoy it! Thank you for being patient! If you dont know who black cat is give her a google :)) ]
