It has been almost a month since Phantom's battle with the Chameleon and his first battle with the Black Cat and no super villains had shown up since that time and through he got both the Huntress and Plasmius off his back, the big man had increased his attempts of getting to him and ending him. Yet, every time that Daniel took on the mantle of hero for the city, he won time and time again.

Well, that's a wrap. Phantom thought as he finished wrapping another three robbers that happened to attempt to rob a place nearby his store and home. He then flew up and grabbed his camera.

He smiled as he pulled it out of the web and then floated up onto the roof as he saw a cop car pull up to where he left the robbers with that he floated back into his home and phased back into the lab and found Fixit still working.

"Fixit, give it a rest for tonight." Daniel said turning human. Fixit sighed,

"I guess I should. Good night, Daniel." He said as Daniel turned the lights off and locked the door behind him.

The next day Daniel was flying towards Midtown hoping that for once he would have a normal day. Harry was still gone, somewhere in Japan with his mom. At least that's what his spies told him yesterday. He shook his head, he didn't want to spy on Harry and his dad but he had to make sure that Harry was getting the help he needed and that Norman wasn't trying anything. He landed in the alleyway in front of the school and turned human and then slowly walked out heading towards the school. However the second he entered the school, a limo pulled up in front of it.

Daniel cocked an eye-brow at that. He knew that Harry wasn't back so who was that. "Hey, Gwen, any idea if we're getting a new student or anyone like that?" He asked sitting down next to her on the fountain.

"To my knowledge, no" Daniel nodded at that as a white haired girl wearing a white shirt, and a black skirt. Isn't that Ms. Hardy? Daniel thought as she walked past them and headed into the school building. This might be interesting.

After school, Daniel was heading back home on his bike when he saw the limo from before right behind him. He looked back during the whole day Ms. Hardy hadn't talked to him, but she did look at him from time to time, but she didn't say anything about it. If she thinks that I will be willing to talk to her at her home, she is mistaken. He thought as he then changed lanes in the street. The limo followed him.

Daniel arched an eye-brow at that, but then got into the turn lane and immediately took the turn right when the light turned red. He smirked, until he saw the limo running the red light and coming up next to him. Daniel shook his head at that.

Ms. Hardy is crazy and hot, and I might like her. Daniel shook his head again at that to clear his thoughts about that. He knew he couldn't be in a relationship with anyone else. With that he stopped at the red light with the limo right next to him. The driver's side window lowered to show a white man wearing a black suit with black sunglasses to Daniel.

He cocked his head to point for Daniel to follow them or pull over. Daniel glared at him and activated the comlink in his helmet.

"Hey, Fixit, I got a limo chasing me, should I follow or show them what I can do?" Fixit was watching the store when he heard Daniel's voice in his head, but he then said "It is up to you, but who is it?"

"I think it's Ms. Hardy," Daniel smirked as he rev his cycle and activated the ecto-engine on the bike. After that was done, he turned to the limo as the limo rev his engine. Suddenly, the light turned green and Daniel slammed on the accelerator, speeding off the second it turned green, leaving a trail behind him.

"After him," Felicia yelled as the limo gave chase. Daniel smirked when that happened as he leaned forward on the bike to increase the air follow of the bike. Suddenly, he turned sharply and turned down a narrow street with the limo far behind him, but heading towards him.

Because the street was only two lanes, the limo was separated from Daniel by at least two cars. However, Daniel had to turn around to head home. So, once he saw an opening, he moved into the opposing lane of traffic and got in ahead of the two cars in front of him.

"Hurry up or we'll lose him." Felicia said as her driver got ahead the car in front of them. Daniel smirked at that, he knew that the street dead ended very soon with it hitting another two way street. Once, he saw another opening right in front of the intersection, he turned the bike on a dime and then headed back the way he had just went, right past the limo, which he did a mock bow to when he did past it.

The limo attempted to follow him, but it turned too sharply, hit the sidewalk and then almost caused someone to hit them in the back. Daniel smirked at that, but didn't do or say anything as he then turned again on a dime and drove into an alleyway and away from then. With the limo struck, Felicia looked at where Daniel went and what he did and purred "Meow,"

Using his intangible and invisibility, Daniel arrived at his store and drove into the garage, finding Fixit waiting for him. "What took you?"

"There was a robbery that I had to bust and then I had a bad case of Black Cat, who got away again, but empty handed so I guess that's good." Daniel said sadly.

"What about the whole Hardy thing?" He asked.

"I made them crash a little, no injuries though." Daniel said slowly. Fixit arched an eye-brow at that, but didn't say anything as he followed Daniel into the story to find it somewhat busy.

"Any new pics through"

"Yes, but any new leads on what Plasmius was talking about?" Daniel whispered to him.

"No, our spies haven't found anything in the zone or on the planet yet and I haven't found anything myself, I have told Robin and Cyborg though, but they haven't found anything either."

"Ok, then we'll continue, but I have this bad feeling in my gut again." Daniel said.

Later that night, Fixit was in the story reading the paper again with Daniel downstairs practicing again. He was about to head out to patrol over the city after his scheduled training section that Fixit had forced him to start was finished. Fixit sighed as he finished the paper and was about to close the store when a black limo pulled up to it. Fixit cocked an eye-brow at that as a white haired girl walked out of the dented limo.

Felicia Hardy, He thought as she and two muscular men followed her into the store. "Hello, may I help you?" Fixit asked. Felicia looked at him as the two men left after she nodded to them.

"Depends"

"Depends on what?" Fixit asked confused. He still didn't understand humans, though Daniel wasn't the best source for help in that subject.

"Depends if Daniel is home, I want to see him." She smiled.

"And he knows you?" He asked.

"We go to school together now and I do want to meet him." With that, Fixit activated the intercom and said

"Daniel there is someone here."

Daniel was downstairs in Phantom form hitting training dummy after training dummy with his ecto-fists, which are when he filled his fist with ecto-plasma to increase its strength and power. Every training dummy was a droid with a hologram showing him thugs, old enemies, even Sandman. However, every one that he punched as completely destroyed, either losing their head or their chest fell to pieces. He continued, but when he saw the last droid was the Black Cat, he threw his fist but suddenly stopped mere centimeters from her face and sighed.

He wanted to hit it like he did all the others, but found that he couldn't. The robot hologram smiled just as the Black Cat did and then kicked him in the face. Daniel groaned as he was kicked into the air, spinning, until he hit the wall. He looked up to see the robot walking towards him. "End training program now!" He yelled as the hologram disappeared and the robot shut down. With that, he changed into his human form and slowly stood up.

Why couldn't I hit her? He thought, I have never hesitated in a fight, other than with Undergrowth, but that was a different situation. I was suffering from my powers, but I did fight him. He then picked up a chair and threw it to the wall, breaking it. I'm not attracted to her, am I? He asked himself as he thought over the times they have fought and everything.

I mean she is hot, but so is Ember, Desiree, Kitty and Spectra and I'm not attracted to them at all. But then why couldn't I hit her. He groaned as he fired an ecto-blast at the shutdown robot destroying it like a sore loser. Why did I do that? I am not attracted to anyone…but I have never felt like this since… His eyes went wide as he shook his head. "No, I am not getting into a relationship with anyone for their sake."

"Daniel, there is someone here." Fixit's voice came from the intercom. Daniel walked over to it and said

"Do I even want to ask?" He asked.

"I doubt it," Fixit said.

Back upstairs, a buzz voice came from the intercom as Fixit looked annoyed at that as Felicia looked confused by that. Must have broken the intercom again… He looked over at Felicia.

"He should be down soon, so tell me who are you and what do you want?"

"Why do you care?" Felicia asked confused.

"Because I am Daniel's godfather, young lady and after he lost his family and his right leg, I will not allow something to happen to him again." Fixit said glaring at her.

"Don't worry, I won't, but he shouldn't have run from me." She smiled.

"So, you were the one in the limo that was chasing me, I thought it was someone else." A voice said as Daniel came into the store. Felicia smiled at him and Daniel knew he saw that smile somewhere else.

"So, what do I owe this pleasure?" He asked.

"Name's Felicia Hardy and I just wanted to meet you and to thank you for giving my driver a workout. You have a sweet skill set, well, I'll see you at school, bye," She said as she left and soon the limo left.

Phantom was flying around the city thinking about Felicia and Black Cat. Fixit had searched them both and after finding only rumors or thefts that the Black Cat might have gone and the story about her attempted theft of the alien life form, he searched the name Felicia Hardy and found that she was the daughter of Lydia Hardy, the CEO of the Hardy Foundation, a tech company and medical company that rivals the A.I.T Alliance but not OsCorp or Tricorp, so there weren't any underground crime that was corrupting their company, but his research also showed that Felicia's father was 'The Cat', a world-renowned cat burglar who was arrested due to his various acts of burglary some time ago and was actually incarcerated in NY, being the first crook that Phantom took down. If Black Cat is Felicia and she hears about that, she will hate Phantom and will actually fight against him. All the times they had met so far, she just played with him. Phantom growled at that.

Suddenly an alarm went off and Phantom looked down to see three thugs running from a store, each with a bag of money. Phantom shook his head and then using his telekinesis picked the three up into the air and set up his camera to take pictures. When the three started to glow green and then float in the air, they gasped and shouted out in fear. Suddenly Phantom appeared in front of them and smirked.

"PHANTOM" The ring leader yelled.

"Got that right," He said as he threw them, gently, to the building's wall and then fired his webs at them leaving each one of the thugs in a huge green web of their own separated from the other and unable to even more. With that, Phantom floated up to where he had set his camera and grabbed it. After checking to make sure that the police had arrived, Phantom disappeared, smiling, having removed the Black Cat thoughts from his mind. However, when he did, new thoughts entered his mind, like what were the plans for Thanksgiving?

The next day at school, Daniel sat down next to MJ and Gwen on the fountain in the center of the courtyard as Felicia's limo pulled up to the front of it and she walked over to them. However, she was wearing a black shirt with Phantom's emblem on it. Phantom had decided to add his emblem to his new clothes on his black suit under his jacket, but he didn't know that someone had seen that because of the jacket. I guess I was wrong, He thought as Felicia asked

"May I sit here?" MJ, Gwen and Daniel shared a look, but then shrugged,

"Why not?" With that Felicia smiled and sat down right next to Daniel. Actually she was almost in his lap, but didn't do anything. It was like she was toying with him, just as the Black Cat had done. Gwen, MJ and Liz saw that and gasped and then glared at her. Felicia either didn't notice them or didn't care as she continued to sit next to Daniel, looking at him hungrily. However, before anything else could happen the bell rang.

After school, Daniel was heading towards his bike when Gwen ran up to him. "Dan,"

"Yes,"

"Do you have any plans for Thanksgivings?" She asked.

"No, not really," Daniel said sadly,

"It's just going to be my godfather and me, why?" He asked.

"Well," She started shyly. "My dad and I wanted to invite you for thanksgiving dinner." She finished. Daniel looked at her confused, so she continued.

"MJ is going to be there too,"

"Or you all could come over to my house for thanksgiving dinner," A voice said. Gwen and Daniel looked to see Felicia leaning against her limo.

"Really" Gwen asked.

"Oh, yeah, my mom wants to meet the friends I've made here, if we are friends," She said. Daniel looked at Gwen, who sighed,

"Fine, I'll tell my dad and MJ. Give me your address." After Felicia did that, she turned to look at Daniel who was gone.

"How did he do that?" She asked.

Daniel had arrived at the bugle to see Johan yelling again at Robbie. He sighed as he shook his head and headed towards them. He didn't want to leave Gwen and Felicia hanging like that, but he had to give Johan the pics he got last night and he needed to know if Robbie or Foswell knew anything about the Cat. "I want a new layout in 4.3 seconds, now." Johan yelled as Daniel walked up to them.

"Parker finally gives me those." He said grabbing the pictures out of Daniel's hand and started to look over them. "Ha, front page head-on, the Demon vs. the Black Cat." He smiled as he left them and headed into his office. Daniel shook his head at that as Robbie smiled at him and Betty cut his check for him. However, before he left he asked

"Robbie, do you know anything about a crook known as 'The Cat' or anything about the Hardy's?"

"The Cat'" He asked, "The first crook that Phantom took down and is actually Walter Hardy and that he is still in jail and his wife has a restraining order on him?"

"Yeah, is there anything else?" Daniel asked.

"No, not really, other than the companies that Lydia is the CEO of or the many grants and awards her company has won," Robbie said.

"What about The Black Cat before she attempted to steal the Alien from Connor's lab?" Daniel asked as he took the check from Betty, who smiled at him. "Thanks," He smiled back.

"There are many rumors about her, such as many robberies that some believe she committed, but there's no evidence for it at all to support any of those. Other than that there is a rumor that she is either an apprentice of 'The Cat' or might be his daughter, but again no evidence for that either and Lydia Hardy has said that no one else in her family had any dealings with her ex-husband." Daniel frowned at that. "Why do you ask?" Robbie said catching that frown.

"Because Felicia Hardy is now going to my school and unless I am completely mistaken, I think she likes me." Daniel said.

"And that's a bad thing?" Betty asked smiling at him. Daniel muttered as he left in a huff.

Soon, Phantom was sitting on the same roof that he had met Black Cat many nights ago, thinking about everything that he had learned since he had first fought her. He sighed as he suddenly flew off and attempted to get the cool November air to calm him down. Every time he thought of her and their battles, he found something else he liked about her. From her costume, to her hair, to the way she fought and everything else and that her suit even showed off every one of her curves.

Phantom shook his head at that as he flew right pass the Hardy's house that Fixit had found for him. It wasn't as tall or impression as Osborn's was, but still it was a mansion. He couldn't go in without any proof about Felicia being the Black Cat and what would he say anyway. He sighed as he turned invisible and then continued to fly through the nigh trying to forget about her. He sighed again; he seemed to be doing that a lot as he continued looking for any crime and knowing that he still had to convince Fixit about the dinner.
