"No," she didn't hesitate as she smiled right at me, "this is my life...I refuse to leave my daughter for such a selfish reason."
"Heh, if only your father was the same," I snorted.
"I know he isn't the best father in the world, but he is still your Felicia's father, remember that Pete."
"I know...doesn't change the fact that if I get my hands on him I'm breaking his fingers for selshifly endangering his family like he did," I growled.
"I won't like that," she said.
"Then? What should I do?"
"Well...if you do find her-"
"-If she wants to be found."
"Right, if you do...hug her and kiss her and don't let go until she pushes you back. And then….well, everything else can wait until after that," Felicia smiled, once again scratching her eyepatch.
I groaned, damn Richard Fisk, that bastard. I wish I tracked him down and gutted him. Last I heard he managed to gain immunity in exchange for rating out all his partners and employees. That's going to make him a lot of enemies, I personally hope he dies in the gutter.
I noticed the bruising around Felicia's eye was slowly darkening, it must mean the blood vessels was flooding her damaged capillary tubes. I could...theoretically, I could use my body's energy to heal the tubes, feed them energy to speed up the process. But...I never could before, hell, I couldn't even summon a magical circle before.
"What's the matter?" Felicia asked with a smile, "you've been staring at me for sometime now."
I smiled, "I just realised how lucky I would be if I could grow old with my Felicia. If she ends up looking like you I would never grow bored of having sex."
"Ha-ha," Felicia rolled her one visible eye, "I know I'm old Peter, you don't have to rub it in."
"I'm serious Kitten," I smirked.
"I'm sur you-" she winced again, rubbing her iching wound. Immediately my mind was made up.
"Here, let me," I said as I reached for her eyepatch.
"What are you doing?" she asked as my fingertips touched her face, feeling the warmth of blood flowing underneath her skin.
I focused, gathering up whatever energy I could, remember how I felt when I channeled m electric powers, and pushed them forward, imagining the way I wanted the energy to move.
I felt it slowly move, I opened my eyes and there it was, a wisp of golden energy coming out of my fingertip and into Felicia's skin. Immediately I saw the size of the bruising reduce. Felicia gasped as it happened, I dropped my hands, exhausted from the simple act.
"H-how did you do that?" Felicia asked.
I smirked as I wiped the sweat from my brow, "I'm learning a few tricks from Dr. Strange."
"Okay...you're so not the Peter Parker I'm used to."
"And the Tigers win!" the announcer cried out, ending the match in Midtown's victory. We turned to see Felicity and May cheering with the rest of their friends, all together, all happy.
"Thank you," Felicia said drawing my attention to her just in time to feel the touch of her lips on my forehead as she laid a gentle kiss on me, "that helped."
"N-no problem," I replied.
"Don't worry Peter," she got up, managing to hold herself up despite the cast, she looked down at me and smiled, "I'm sure she's just waiting to come back to you. Just don't give up on her."
I nodded, "I won't...now, do you need help climbing down?"
Felicia chuckled, "yes, kind off!"
That night I spent it with Felicity and the rest of the women's basketball team in a dinner. I did promise to pay for dinner and a promise is a promise. May offered to chip in, but I refused, it was my treat, they earned it.
The Next Day:
Stange watched from one corner as I went through the kata's he taught me. At this point I knew it was pointless, but I did it anyway, and now I wasn't even focusing on what I was doing, no, I was too busy remembering my Kitten.
Last night stirred something in me, I kept her buried away, refusing to recall her to mind, but now I did.
I remembered her smile, her laugh and the kissed she planted on my lips. I remembered it all, like a clear picture reflected off off a still lake. Memories, reflections of my life.
My body moved on muscles memory alone, moving through the various gentle movements Strange drilled into my head, but my mind was elsewhere, all the other things bleed out. All this time I was stuck here, all this time, I never once thought about her, I thought it would hurt, but….it didn't. It was like seeing a picture of the sun after a long time.
My arms began to slowly glow, I could hear the sanskrit chant inside my head playing like a hymn in the background as memories of our first date came up. Strange got off his chair and on his feet, watching me with interest.
I brought both hands up, I remembered her laugh. I put one palm up and one down, I remembered her chuckling at my stupid jokes. As my arms moved in a perfect circle, a fiery red circle appeared in its path.
I felt the power seep out of my body and into the structure before me. Felicia's smile melted away, the slogan took over my head as I opened my eyes and stared at the perfect magical circle I had made.
