Chapter 199

"What? No!" Felicia threw her head back and laughed, "no you stupid boy!" She cupped my cheeks and looked at me dead in the eye, "look at me Peter, I'm not going to leave you so don't plan on getting depressed any time soon, okay?"

I couldn't help but smile, I leaned forward and pressed my lips on hers giving it a gentle kiss. I pulled her close as we snuggled together. "So what do you want to talk about?"

She took a deep breath and sighed, "my...my father. I figured out how to get him out."

I felt the world come to a halt, whatever she was going to say I didn't think...I didn't expect this! I turned to her and looked seriously, "what?"

"I….I found out where they are keeping him."

I felt fear drop into my stomach like a hot ball of lead, "how?"

"He...he told me where they were keeping him, it's a facility in Texas, it's not there in any maps, but I found it," she smiled, "Peter, I found my dad."

"How? SHIELD isn't a small time police department Felicia they are the best of the best, how did you find it?"

"I had help," she whispered, "an agent who said he's an old friend of my dad's. He found where he worked."

"What's his name?"

"Rumlow, Brock Rumlow," she spoke and immediately I had a face for the name.

It was the face of the man who killed Captain America, in the comic books at least. He was...he was...he is going to be the villain known as Crossbones. A man who I know for a fact works for HYDRA, meaning he didn't just give this information to Felicia.

"You can't trust him," I told her immediately, "he's a double agent."

Felicia looked confused, "I'm sorry? What?"

I looked around, no one looked like a spy, then again I doubt there would be, stupid paranoia. I looked at Felica, "someone got the list of all the HYDRA bases that I got from Wyndham, they made sure each base was empty when SHIELD came in. Fury told me about it yesterday, he said that he suspects moles, several of them and..." here came the little white lie, well not a lie, more like a well placed guess, "I know for a fact that Rumlow is one of those people."

Felicia narrowed her eyes, "that's….not possible."

"No, it kind of is," I sighed as I quickly came up with an idea, "think about it, you're looking for your dad, anyone would know that. Rumlow gives you this information, we go to break your dad out and he tips of SHIELD getting us caught. We are both out of the field and whatever plans HYDRA has...we can't stop it."

Felicia shook her head, "Peter, are you crazy?! You sound like a conspiracy nut job!"

"No I'm not, because if I was in HYDRA's place that's exactly what I would do," I told her, "this is a trap Felicia, we can't afford to fall in it."

"Peter, it's my dad, I can't let him route in prison for the rest of his life!" her voice raised.

"I know that, I do, but all I'm saying is give it some time, I'll tell Fury what happened, I'll tell him it was Rumlow and he'll catch the guy red handed."

"And probably transfer my dad somewhere even harder to get!" she snapped, I could see pure fury in her eyes, "I'm not letting him go Peter, not again!"

"Why can't you get this Felecia?!" I could feel myself getting angrier, "they are using you, using us. We stopped their plans and now they want us gone so that they don't have to worry about us coming after them!"

"Us? You mean you," she got up and walked up.

"Felicia!" I called after her, following her outside. I ran to her and grabbed her wrist pulling her around, "please Felicia, it's a trap!"

"No!" she pulled away, "it's not Peter! It's this crazy idea you have in your head! Whatever it is! It's just me going after my father!"

"But HYDRA-"

"-Doesn't care about me! I'm nothing, just a thief! You're the amazing Spider-man," she whispered with a hiss, "they want you. So you know what, you don't have to come, I'll do it myself, you can just stick to being a good little hero looking down at me like a judgemental prick!"

My eyes went wide as she ran away from me. Did she really think that? That I...that I look down at her? That she was somehow not important to me?

"Felicia!" I call out running after her. She slipped into an alley and tried to lose me, but I managed to jump over her and landed before her, getting in her way, "I never once looked down on you Felicia. Believe me, please. I don't know where this is coming from!"

She looked at me, I could see tears slowly welled up, "when you told me your aunt and uncle were kidnapped I didn't ask questions, I didn't ask a thing. All I did was ask you what I could do to help. And now? When I need your help saving my dad? You make these stupid theories….you don't need to lie to me Peter, I can do this on my own."
