章 68: Chapter 67

"I'll also be teaching you how to operate as an agent, not just training you to be a fighter. I'll teach you to be a spy, to infiltrate a gang and disable it from the inside out."

I raised an eyebrow, "read my file have you."

"What gave you that idea?"

"You mention fight a gang from the inside, obviously you know about GST, trying to draw my attention to your usefulness."

Natasha raised an unimpressed eyebrow, "good, you'll need those observation skills of yours. Though next time, don't reveal all your cards."

The lift doors opened revealing a darkened room. Natasha snapped her fingers and the lights came on. I gaped, it was an underground command center with a conference table in the middle, computer monitors to one side, an old fashioned filing cabinets to the other, a locker with guns and other weaponry near the back and a sofa with a small kitchen further away.

"Welcome to the Queens safehouse. SHIELD gave it to us for training and mission purposes, we'll have other agents drop in from time to time, but other than that it's only going to be us. Come, I'll show you around," Natasha walked off.

"This is the main room," she pointed to room we were in. She went through a hallway near the back, we passed by several rooms with transparent walls, "gym, data hub, lab and supply closet. Any questions?"

"Do you live here?" I asked.

"The floor below."

"Okay...when do we start?"

"Now, follow me," she took me back to the main hall. She pressed a button, the wall opened up revealing a closet filled with SHIELD uniforms. She picked up a pair of tracks, shirt and shoes, "put this on and meet me at the gym."

I did so and walked into the gym. I could see weights and gymnastic equipments further away, but in the middle of the room was a giant training mat. I looked around but no red head in sight. I was about to drop the matter when my spidey senses went off.

She was going to jump me from the back. I turned and grabbed her in the last moment, throwing her away clumsy. Natasha landed on her feet and narrowed her eyes, "how did you know?"

"So SHIELD doesn't have a record of all my powers huh?" I grinned. Natasha didn't say anything, simply raising a single eyebrow. I sighed, "it's like precognition. Every time I'm in danger my brain goes into hyperdrive and allows me to react faster than normal."

"So you're psychic?" she asked.

"No, I don't think so. I think it's something to do with the spider that bite me, it could sense danger as well, I'm not exactly sure how it works, but it does."

"Maybe you should research your powers, it could prove useful."

I raised an eyebrow, "isn't SHIELD already doing that for me? I assumed you already got some DNA from me," I really didn't like that idea, but it was a fact. No spy agency worth their salt would not take measures to control an unknown factor.

"We don't experiment with our agent's DNA without their permission," she lied through her teeth.

"Woah, that's amazing, you going to teach me how to lie that good? Or is it more like a natural thing?" I asked.

Natasha raised an eyebrow before smiling, she got into a fighting stance, "let's see what you got Spider."

I grinned, "bring it Natty."

The next hour was pain and bruises for me. My reaction time was good, great even, but like I have found out time and time again, people with enough skills, like Felicia, can get the drop on me. And Natasha took joy in pointing that out.

Bam!

She slammed me into the floor once more, pinning me down with her foot on my chest, "you're still reacting instead of leading Spider. Your instincts are good, but they should only be used as a last resort, nothing more."

"So you keep saying," I growled getting back up, "again?"

"No, that's enough for now. I need to figure out what best to teach you," Nat pulled out a phone and typed away into it, "you can use the weights and gymnastic equipment until then. Don't hurt yourself."

I nodded as I moved to the weights, I picked up a 20 pound dumbbell easy and began some basic curls "so Nat, what types of martial arts do you know?"

"Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Boxing, Aikido, Savate, Ninjutsu, various styles of Kung Fu and Kenpo. Just to name a few."

I stopped and whistled, "damn...remind me never to get on your bad side."

"Sure," she gave a half smile, "every day you'll have hand to hand training with me for a hour. I'll give you a hour break in between for you to complete your homework and such before going into other details such as tactics and how to be a field agent. You'll have to spend at least three hours with me in this bunker everyday. Got that?"

"Three hours in a bunker with a beautiful woman everyday? Other than my girlfriend getting jealous I don't see a problem," I shrugged.

"Good, you have free time now, don't waste it," and with that she left.

After working out for a bit I went and finished all my homework for the day, relaxing for the rest of the time. Natash then made me sat down at the conference table and slammed thick 2,000 page book in front of me.

"The SHIELD manual, read it, memorise it."

I whistled, the font was small, really small, "is this really necessary?"

"Yes."

"Do you follow every word in this?"

"Yes."

"Again, you really have to tell me how you can lie so easily," I scoffed pushing the book to the side. "So what's first teach?"

She put down a book in french, "you need to learn new languages if you want to fit in."

"I know a little bit of french, I think we can skip this part," I told her in my best french.

Natash's eyebrows actually raised up in surprise, "I didn't know you spoke french."

"There's a lot you don't know about me Nat. For instance I love vanilla ice cream. Put that in my file would you?"

Nat rolled her eyes, "fine, what languages do you know?"

"French, Spanish, a little German, and I began to read up on Japanese but I stopped half way."

"Okay then, let's test your language skills," she said before asking me GK questions in different languages. After I answer a question correctly in the same language she would switch to a completely different one.

章 69: Chapter 68

She stuck to the languages I knew, but she made me work for it asking more and more complex questions.

At the end of my first training session I was exhausted mentally and physically, but I knew it was worth it.

I made my way to the Baxter building by 7 or so and spent two hours with them helping Reed and Sue out on their projects.

By that time Felicia had called me two times, one when I was in the bunker and once at the Baxter building. She was just checking up on me and I had to lie about the bunker thing, telling her I was just at the Chikara dojo.

We chatted for awhile until she hung up, telling me she had to go. It was gooey and romantic, but I liked it just the same.

At around 9 in the night I returned home and ate. I told Ben and May I was going to be putting in more hours at the Baxter building from now on and they understood, though May was a little reluctant.

At around 11, when I knew they wouldn't disturb me, I swung out into the city as Spider-man, I still had a job to do after all.

As I swung down Hell's kitchen I stopped by Matt Murdock's place. The rookie lawyer had now made a name for himself and his firm with the handling of the GST case. Of course he wasn't allowed to represent the state, that was the DA's job, but he did get credit for bringing in the evidence to the case.

I swung by his house and noticed him sitting in his living room reading a book. He paused for a moment and turned out the window. I guess his hearing was so good he could hear my heartbeat from across the street.

He waved at me and I waved back, though I later realised that was a stupid thing to do when dealing with a blind man.

I stopped a ATM robbery and two muggings that night. And just when I was about to call it a night I saw a figure in a black track suit running towards the banking district.

I rolled my eyes, 'so that's what she was busy with,' I swung by and landed before her, "heya Cat! Fancy running into you here!"

"Great, you again," Black Cat sighed, "seriously man, you are totally bumming my style. Can't a girl rob rich people blind in peace in this town?!"

"Well...no," I shrugged, "anyway, how about instead of being a thief tonight and me stopping you and you eventually getting away, we skip the whole deal and get something to eat? I'm hungry and I doubt you had something this late in the night."

Cat snorted, "hate to break it to you Spider, but I have a boyfriend."

I gasped in surprise, "really? You? You don't...you don't seem the type," my acting must be Oscar worthy cause she bought it.

Black Cat shrugged, "I didn't think I was either, but...well, things change."

"Ah, is it that hero guy who saved your life? I remember mentioning him before," I scratched my head, "never did get his name."

"And you're never going to," she narrowed her eyes dangerously, "and who I'm dating is of none business of yours!"

I rolled my eyes, lady you have no idea, "well okay sheesh, just curious. So have you told him yet? About," I pointed at her costume up and down.

"No, of course not!" she hissed, "I'm not stupid! He would freak out!"

I shrugged, "I don't know, from what you told me he seems like a pretty sweet guy. Plus I mean, starting a relationship with secrets is….well it's not healthy. Trust me. My girlfriend is awesome, but she likes to hide things."

"Wait, you have a girlfriend?" Cat sounded surprised.

"Yup! What? You think with a body like this I didn't have one?" I laughed.

"So...is she like a spider or something?"

I blinked, "ah...no, she's human."

"Really? Does she live in Canada?" she teased.

I sigh, "why would I lie about having a girlfriend to one of my arch rivals?"

"I'm your archrival?"

"Well it's either you or Electro. Honestly I'm glad you're the closest thing I have to an arch rival, I do not need that kind of stress in my life."

Cat hummed as she leaded on the roof, "so...you think I should tell him?"

I nodded as I stood next to her, "definitely. My girl tried to hide something from me and I found out. I think she thinks I would freak out, but I honestly didn't care, it was part of the reason I liked her. But I don't want to push it, we're just starting out and I don't want to seem….pushy?"

"So you know her secret, but you're just acting dumb?" Black Cat asked.

"Yup. I want her to trust me enough to tell me off her own accord, only then can our relationship move."

"Does she know about...well, the whole super hero thing?"

"Nope," I chuckled.

"Then why don't you tell her? If you want your relationship to mature can't you just tell her your secret and push her to reveal hers?"

"Not really, I know her secret Cat and I accept that. But….but I don't know how she'll react to me dressing up and fighting crime. Honestly I don't want to lose her."

Cat gave me an understanding smile as she rubbed my hand, "give it time. I'm sure she'll come around."

"And you? Are you going to tell your boy toy who you really are?"

"I...I think so," she shook her head, "not right now but soon. We just started going out yesterday and I...I don't want to scare him off."

"Well whatever you do I hope you succeed. Oh, and one more thing," I grabbed her hand currently trying to pick one of my pockets, "please don't try to rob me while we're having an emotional moment, it's really a dick move."

"He-he, sorry Spider, old habit," she got on the building ledge and threw a grapple line across, swinging away, "see you Spider!" she cried out as she swung away.
