Chapitre 201: Chapter 201: Peter and Felicia
[Third Person's PoV]
Lizzy turned, glancing between Felicia and Gwen, and asked with a raised brow, "So… are you going to start dating Peter now, too? I mean, does he even like you back?"
Felicia sat cross-legged on the floor, hugging her knees as she rested her chin on them. "I mean, I don't know… This is all really weird and new to me. I've never even been in a relationship before. And as for whether he likes me… maybe? I can't really say."
"He does," MJ and Gwen answered in unison, both rolling their eyes in exasperation.
Lizzy raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "Have you guys ever questioned his love for both of you? I mean, I can't imagine Harry saying he loves me and then going off to love someone else. It would feel like he's lying about one or the other."
MJ and Gwen exchanged knowing smiles, shaking their heads. MJ held up a peace sign, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips. "Tiger's just got a big heart."
Gwen nodded with a confident wink. "Peter doesn't rely on words to show he loves us—he uses actions. And since actions speak louder than words, we hear him loud and clear."
Felicia glanced between the two of them, her expression flat. "At this point, you two are just bragging." Her eyes narrowed toward MJ and Gwen, who were both looking smugly satisfied.
"Oh, whatever." Felicia muttered under her breath, then sighed. "Just… warn me when Peter's on his way, since your Spidey senses are more developed than mine."
Gwen's eyebrow arched with suspicion. "What exactly are you planning, Felicia?"
Felicia merely shrugged and pulled out her phone, swiping through Instagram and double-tapping images of cute cats, seemingly ignoring Gwen's question.
The three shared an uncertain look, but before long, Peter and Harry arrived, both carrying bags filled with food.
"Ello, ello, mates!" Peter greeted, putting on a British accent as he entered with a stack of Italian takeout.
The second she saw him, Felicia's eyes sharpened, a mischievous gleam appearing as she tossed her phone aside and leaped at him like a lioness catching sight of her prey.
"Whoa!" Peter barely had time to react as Felicia tackled him to the ground, causing the bags of food to spill from his hands.
MJ's quick reflexes kicked in, and with her agility, she caught every falling container before any of them hit the ground.
"Huh?" Peter blinked up from the floor, Felicia straddling him as she held his face firmly. Without hesitation, she leaned down and kissed him.
"What the f—" Harry mouthed, stepping aside, clearly bewildered by the sight.
Lizzy mirrored his look of shock, her mouth agape, while MJ face-palmed with a groan, and Gwen massaged her forehead, exasperated.
Felicia savored the kiss, lingering for a moment before finally pulling back. She bit her lip and gave Peter a playful wink before glancing at Gwen and MJ. "You two brag so damn much, you left me no choice. This kitty cat wants what you both have, so I'm going to have a slice of that pie too. If I have to steal it to enjoy it, then from this moment forward, Peter and I are also officially dating. And no one's stopping that."
"Um, aside from the fact that I was just thoroughly ambushed, don't I get a say in this?" Peter managed to stammer, still reeling from the whole scene.
Felicia looked down at him, blinking innocently. "Are you saying you don't want to?"
She leaned closer, her voice dropping to a seductive whisper. "Surely that's not what I'm hearing… right?"
Peter, still dazed, looked over to Gwen and MJ. "Uh… Harry and I were only gone for a few minutes—how did this even happen?"
Felicia gripped his shirt collar and shook him lightly. "Because I love you, you stupidly charming nerd! These two forced me to admit it, and now they're going to live with the consequences."
She leaned down, peppering his face with kisses as she chanted, "I love you, I love you, I love you," each kiss soft but resolute.
Finally, her face softened as she pressed it against his chest, her voice barely a whisper. "I really do love you," she confessed, vulnerability replacing her usual boldness.
Peter, looking flustered and somewhat lost, mouthed silently to Gwen and MJ, 'What the hell did you guys do?'
'Us? We didn't do anything!' Gwen mouthed back with an exaggerated shrug.
With a sigh, Gwen placed her hands on her hips. "You know what? It's fine. Why even fight it?" She glanced between Felicia and Peter. "Besides, you two have, like, two kids together in the future. Felicia, welcome to Peter's harem."
MJ chuckled awkwardly, glancing between Gwen and Felicia.
Felicia's expression shifted to surprise, her eyes widening as she turned to Gwen. "Seriously?"
"Uh… didn't I get a say in this…?" Peter muttered.
"Oh, please." Gwen scoffed, rolling her eyes. "We already know what you're going to say."
"Yeah, Tiger, it's written all over your face," MJ sighed, shaking her head.
Peter sighed, finally smiling up at Felicia. "Uhh… Hey, honey, I'm home?"
Felicia's face lit up with a grin as she wrapped her arms around him, pressing her face against his.
A few minutes later, Felicia sat comfortably on Peter's lap at the edge of the bed, feeding him pieces of pasta with a radiant expression.
Across the room, Harry and Lizzy exchanged weary glances. Lizzy finally spoke up, casting a confused look at Peter. "One thing I don't get—how did she manage to catch you off guard? Aren't you supposed to have the best reflexes and can see a few seconds into the future?"
Gwen chimed in to explain. "Our Spidey-senses are incredibly useful, but they can be overwhelming. They warn us about a constant flood of information, including minor, non-threatening stuff that just gets annoying. So, we've been training to filter out the unnecessary bits. If something's not life-threatening, it doesn't activate."
Lizzy nodded in understanding. Then, leaning in closer, she whispered to Gwen, "How do you really feel about all of this?"
Gwen shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips as she watched Felicia nuzzle into Peter's neck contentedly. "I knew it was coming from the moment Felix appeared. And besides, it all works out in the future. I really can't complain."

Jameson Household:
Jameson sat on his worn leather couch, glasses perched on the bridge of his nose as he sifted through a stack of editorial papers. The late-night news flickered across the television screen, casting an eerie glow in the otherwise dimly lit room.
The anchor's voice crackled through the static: "An apartment complex has been set ablaze on Long Island, near 10th and 9th streets. Miraculously, all residents escaped unharmed, thanks to a local hero patrolling the borough, known as The Spider-Kat. Despite reports that she was critically injured earlier this morning, tonight she appeared in perfect condition. It seems super healing might be one more power on this hero's growing list of abilities."
"Dammit!" Jameson muttered, ripping his glasses off and tossing them onto the table. He slammed his fists down, rattling the papers beside him. "How's anyone supposed to see them for the frauds they are if they bounce back without a scratch! This makes our papers look like a joke!"
He began pacing across the room, hands raking through his graying hair, muttering to himself. "I need someone to expose them... someone to tear off those masks and show the world what they really are. These so-called 'heroes' need to be taken down... hunted..."
He froze mid-step, an idea sparking in his mind. A sly grin spread across his face as he whispered, "Hunted… yes. Who better to call than a hunter?"
Reaching for his phone with a newfound intensity, he dialed a familiar number. As the phone rang, he could barely contain his excitement. Finally, a groggy voice answered.
"Betty? Yes, I know it's late. I don't care. I need you to do something for me, and I need it done now. Find me a contact for Kraven. Yes, Kraven the Hunter."
