Black Cat has posed:
Midtown, you can't go a block without someone's HQ being right next door, but welcome to NY right? The City That Never sleeps, Yada Yada. At least, Black Cat doesn't. She's been sort of quiet for a while, staying out of trouble. But Spider-Man's been out of town, and she and some other out of towners are still working on a /real/ big score - she's gotten bored. So bored! Which makes a High crime, medium wealth section of the island of Manhatten just the place to be to spice up a Monday night.
Honestly, she doesn't even need the jewelry. She's got stuff in her Penthouse that's worth 1,000x more. And the security was laughably easy to break into. Hardly worth the effort really. So why did she steal it all? The thrill of it we suppose. Sure it wasn't as fun as a real challenge, but you've gotta keep those skills sharp.
Which is why this Monday night finds Felicia Hardy in her Black Cat costume - more cleavage than the Comics Code would really approve of on that furlined suit, and black mask over her eyes as she rifles through the diamonds, gold, and precious jewels while she sits on the edge of a roof-top, boredly picking through her ill-gotten gains.

Spider-Man has posed:
Spider-man had just gotten back into town a night or two ago, but had just put the suit back on, and smiled to himself as he got back into it as he was swinging through the city. He was actually just getting back into the feel of movement again as he did a double flip spin off a catapult that brought him low to the ground then rocketing up slightly past the rooftops using his web to be the sling shot him in the air. As he flies by in the upside down part of his flight as he lost the upper momentum when he stops looking eye to eye with black cat. In a joyful voice he chuckles.

"Yank!" he says as he webs towards the gems in her hand to take them as he was pretty sure she had stole them, but wasn't sure from where yet. Though falls shortly after as gravity pulls him down with a "Ooh Shiney!" as he falls looking into the bag and grabing one that fell out to put back in before he closes it. Shooting out a web to catch himself before he falls he starts swinging low again, but Black Cat can see the building he is heading to. It is nearby, and Spiderman plans to stop there to get a better look of what it was or maybe if they were marked.

"Better luck next time!" he says as he swings thinking he got away from her easy this time.

Black Cat has posed:
"Cheap, cheap. The clarity on this one isn't good enough. This one's a fake...I'm doing the city a service, stopping people from getting ripped off by this guy." Felicia's talking to herself, pushing back her platinum blonde hair over one shoulder. And then, suddenly you're flipping over her from behind, having web-zipped your way up into the air and then yanking the bag away from her. "What.....Spider-Man?" If only she'd had some sort of Catty-Sense to tell her that was about to happen! She pops up to her feet with an athletic bounce, surprisingly limber and gymnastic for someone of her.... unbalanced build. "Oh come on!" She calls out, taking a run towards the edge of the building and taking a flying leap, extending her razor sharp claws from the suit to catch herself on the brick and start scrambling up the side towards the roof.

Oh yeah, the Jewelery's definitely all in bacgs from a local store

Spider-Man has posed:
Landing on the other rooftop, with just a walking landing he looks into the bag though when he looks back Black Cat has already jumped so he doesn't see her. He sighs a bit as he looks at the bag moving some around with a finger. "Really? I must be hard to be a catburgler anymore... now where did you come from?" he asked himself as he looked though the bag for a marking, or on the non-fakes for a serial number to check. Holding one up to the moon he smiles under his mask. "Lets see we can get you home huh? Away from the 'mean lady' in black!" he still chuckles, as he is doing his usual joking not worried as he thinks he lost her that quick.

"Humm.. no number." he frowns a bit as he had got the chance to look now. Wherever she had got them from must be dealing under the table as diamands are supposed to have a number. He sighed a bit, and held out the bag in two fingers.. "Great... so What am I going to do about you." no-idea that Felicity was climbing up on him yet.

Black Cat has posed:
She reaches just underneath the lip of the roof and then curls her claws into the concrete there, using it to propel and launch herself up onto the roof with an acrobatic flip of her own, landing on her boots with a soft landing - surprisingly stealthy even when showing off. "Well...." She trails off, "You /could/ just take me out to dinner sometime Spidey. You don't have to take my stuff and yank my pigtails everytime we're on the playground." She offers a playful flirtatious wink, starting to stalk forward slowly from the edge of the roof with a sway in her hips.....

Spider-Man has posed:
Spidy turns, and crouches looking at her with a smile under the mask, that can somewhat be seen as the mask shifts to show it. "I thought I might of lost ya back there. Should of known it couldn't be that quickly." he holds up the bag in two finges he swings it a little to hear the rocks hit off each other. "How bout this, you tell me where you got them, and I will be happy to return them for you" and grinned as he was curious where she picked them up as well. He doesn't back up though he does chuckle, "Looks like you are hitting on hard times, no cat motifs in town?" he asked a bit curiously.

He sighed and considered giving them back to her, and though they weren't supposed to be owned by really anyone so was it right to let her steal from a thief. He pondered it for a moment as he had to choose right here as he responds. "I can't help it.. I am just neigborly I guess!" and puts his hands under the face giving the puppy eyes with the Spidyr Mask. "Good to see you again though.. was getting tired of hairy old men in suits."

Black Cat has posed:
"Just a little bored Spidey. Just a little bored." She grins and moves both hands to the furline neck of her costume, framing her top-half with her elbows and giving a little shrug, "No one to keep me company on the lonely nights I guess. You could have told me you were back in town." Her eyes dart to the bag as you swing it back and forth, "You can't guess where I got them? The name is on the bag. Or do you think I'm devious enough to have switched the bags? Because you know I might be." She stalks her way closer even forward though no spidey-sense is warning of any danger as she takes a deep deep breath, "Who's gonna miss a few gems?"
