MLPU: Spider-Mare: Cat's Claws

by TheInvincibleIronBrony

Is it Worth it?

Diamond Tiara watched nervously as Silver Spoon looked from the news paper headline to the black suit in shock.

"Okay, c'mon Silver, say something. You're starting to freak me out," Diamond pleaded, when the tension became unbearable.

Silver looked away from the suit. "Say what? This is a lot to take in. I mean my best friend is a super hero and I guess that's cool," the grey filly began, trailing off.

"I'm sensing there's a but coming," Diamond pressed.

"But, this is extremely dangerous," Silver pointed out. "Is this worth it?" she asked, seeming unsure of the whole thing.

Diamond thought for a moment. She thought about the trouble she could get in if she got caught and about how much danger she'd be putting her dad in. Then she thought about the people she could help. She knew she couldn't tackle criminals the same way Spider-Mare does. Not having powers is kind of a drawback. Diamond was considering more of a stealth approach. If she could take away some of Fiscal's power by keeping him on his toes, he'd be too busy to try and bother Filthy.

"In the long run," Diamond began, looking her friend in the eye. "Its more than worth it."

"This is so not worth it," Scootaloo complained as she passed that days issue of the daily bugle back to Dinky.

"Spider-Mare and Black Cat working for the King Pin of crime?" Dinky questioned as she read the headline. "They didn't waste anytime naming her," she commented, turning her attention back to her brooding friend. "Any idea who she is?"

"Who?" asked a familiar voice. Both mares turned their heads in surprise as Featherweight joined them at their usual lunch table.

"Where have you been? We haven't seen you all week," Scootaloo asked, ignoring the stallion's question.

"I've been trying to get a job recently. Trying to save money for college," he explained. "Now who are we talking about and where's Babs?" Featherweight asked, not seeing the dark orange filly anywhere.

Dinky rolled her eyes. "She got detention for being unsafe with a Bunsen burner in chemistry," Dinky explained as she slid the newspaper to the colt. "And we were talking about her," she finished, pointing at the black figure that was riding on what looked like Scootaloo's back.

Featherweight squinted at the picture. "Who is she?" he asked, curious.

"Black Cat. Don't have any other name for her," Scootaloo answered. "Hopefully she helps me bring down the crime rate around here. I could use some down time," the pegasus said as she started to get up. "I'm gonna go get a little more to eat," she said, turning and immediately running into Diamond Tiara, who was carrying a tray full of food. Both fillies grunted as their heads collided, the paper tray crumpling between them and splattering mashed potatoes and salad on the pair.

Diamond growled at the accident, glaring at Scootaloo. "Watch where you're going loser!" she shouted as she pushed past Scootaloo and ran to the bathroom.

"What a brat," Scootaloo seethed as she wiped the potatoes from her shirt with the news paper.

Author's Note:

And that wraps this up. A round of applause please for Twilight Mercer for all the help he's given me. I hope we don't have a scheduling conflict when Amazing Spider-Mare 2 Comes around. I'm really gonna need ya then buddy.

Well until next time, Stay Tuned.

4076175 That was a great chapter. Though I'm confused as to how much time passed by between Fiscal pounding Black Cat and Spider-Mare talking out those 15 guards.

There could of been some nice room for at least a hundred or two words to break between the two fight scenes to show off some of those acrobatics of black cat and how mismatched she was to Fiscal at this point, before getting any of the powers she would later in the marvelverse.

So, she's still technically not super strong. Unless I missed some detain about the suit somewhere offering enhancements.

Aside from that, this was probably the best written chapter so far. Flowed fantastically and the action was very spot on Spider-Mare. Quite entertaining. And that ending was great. Looking forward to the closing chapter.

EDIT: Oh, snap. There's more added xD

EDIT2 UPDATE: Okay, you addressed the no powers thing point blank so that's cool. xD
I worry about Diamond's secret getting out. Shame we didn't get a final Fiscal foreshadowing to some future not to be named thing that can happen some day in the distant future at least.

Now slap it with a Complete Tag if this is truly complete unless you're gonna pull a Marvel credits preview after all. xD

Nice aftermath ending.

4077705 Sorry about that. Yeah that's the end of this one. To be honest I'm not sure if Diamond will ever get Super Powers for real. I aka huge fan of non super powered beings fighting crime.

Who will win in this game if Cat and Spider?

"Of" Also it really isn't good to have errors in the opening part (or whatever you call the part where the author gives a summary of the book). Just heads up.

[Nox Knock Jokes]

Oh god I'd love to see a side story where they both realize who the other really is.

Hmm...With your permission TheInvincibleIronBrony, I'd like to attempt a side story of just that.

[TheInvincibleIronBrony]

7287986 That would be called a summary.
7288498 I wont stop you writing a side story, but It will be treated as an alternate universe, "what if?" story and will not be canon to the MLPU. I'd totally read it though.

THANKS! And yea AU where they both find out who the other is. The only thing in relation to the two stories is the characters. I won't even add all the superhero fighting stuff because I'm not good at that kind of thing. And it's just a one chapter story so I won't steal your spotlight.

[TheInvincibleIronBrony]
