As the security cameras swung the other way, Black Cat fired a grappling hook from the launcher on the glove of the suit. The hook caught and she swung over to land on a ledge by the roof of the art museum. She scrambled the rest of the way up.
She took out the laser cutter the Kingpin had acquired for her and began to cut through the glass. She removed grabbed ahold of the glass as it began to come free and set the circle of glass aside. Then she sprayed the air below, looking for invisible lasers that would trigger shrieking alarms if she came into contact with them. She smirked as the gas particles illuminated the lasers, then secured a length of rope to the building and began to climb down it.
She slid down the rope quickly and quietly, then looked around. Still no guards. Smirking, she headed over to a glass cage that housed a large gem. She quickly found the alarms on the display case and disabled them, then took her booty and began to climb back up to the roof. She pulled the rope back up when she was done.
She put the gem in her pocket and began to move across the rooftop, confident that no one would detect her and catch her.

Another night of fun-filled baddie spankin' action. He'd already broken up a couple muggings and even stopped a would-be house thief; all culprits were hanging about various street lights by some configuration of binding web, the Police usually got to them before the fluid dissolved...
Pausing on a rooftop, he took a deep hit of night air, gorgeous. That's when he caught a glimpse of movement, the shine of moonlight on something as a figure pocketed an object after immerging from a museum he knew to be housing one of the world's largest gems; he'd seen a poster for it at his school, the geo-geeks were freaking over it. Taking the distance between the buildings and the museum rooftop in one powerful leap, he landed stealthily and silently on the cold surface, his voice then jumping out to the unknown thief that would soon find himself hanging from one of the city's many esteemed street lights.
"Hey there bud, you know its REAL hard for a gem to be on display when its couped up in a body's pocket!" Without waiting for a response, he flicked his wrist towards the would-be-robber's body and sent out a stream of web to bind him up, "So i'm going to ask you to hand it over."

Felicia dodged and rolled out of the way of the sticky substance. "So you must be the Spider-Man I keep hearing about," she purred. She was careful to watch for more incoming webs. "Silly boy, don't you know that if you want to catch a cat, you have to chase it first?" Not that she was going to let him catch her, of course.
With that, she flicked her wrist, and a grapnel shot out of the launcher hidden on her glove. She heard it latch onto a nearby rooftop and swung off to the right, away from Spider-Man. She hoped he would be better at pursuing her than the lame cops.
She had to be careful of those webs. She didn't really have anything in the way of long-range weapons. One of the Kingpins thugs had offered her guns, but she had told him he didn't believe in using violence. He had doubled over laughing, and that made her nervous. Perhaps she had fell in with the wrong crowd? But had she really had another choice?

The figure threw itself out of the way of the webbing; nice. Surprised, but not angry at the least, he watched the figure straighten up and turn towards him; a woman! His eyes, ever so acute even at night, caught every detail of her revealing costume and he was thankful for the mask upon his face for surely he was beet red!
"Silly boy, don't you know that if you want to catch a cat, you have to chase it first?"
That...voice...it seemed familiar, but oh so alien. Luckily for him, the self-dubbed "cat" didn't leave him much time to respond as she set a hand into motion, causing Spidey to instinctively throw himself out of the way, but all that shot out was a grappling hook. Skillyfully aimed, the thing latched onto a nearby roof and she swung off to it. Hah, you'd have to be a lot faster than that, honey!
With a few pumps of his legs he set his body off at a ferocious speed, not even bothering with web-swinging or shooting at this distance he simply chose to push his body off with his legs, easily soaring the distance spanning the rooftop and landing artfully.
With another short leap and playful backflip, he landed not a hairsbreadth from the gem thief, a grin on his face as he couldn't stop himself from saying, "If you've heard so much about me, don't you realize that running is a bit...futile?"
If she turned to run, which he figured she would, he was determined to catch hold of her wrist in order to stop her... he was going to turn her over to the police of course, but he couldn't help succumbing to his curiosity; how had one thief managed to steal such a valuable object?

"If you know anything about me, you should know no one can catch the Black Cat. So maybe you should give up, Spider-Man." She was intrigued, though- no one had ever caught the Black Cat in the act, not since Fisk had caught her that one fateful day. Of course, there being caught in the act and being apprehended were not necessarily the same thing.
Black Cat flexed her wrist again, retracting the grappling at high speed now that Spider-Man was right in front of her. She cartwheeled over the edge of the building, letting herself fall over the edge.
The ground seemed to rush up at her with incredible speed, and Black Cat silently cursed that she had leapt off without resetting the grappling. She flexed her wrist and shot blindly. She heard it hit something solid- this was New York, after all, there were plenty of tall buildings, and began to soar away. Then her grappling hook slipped, and she flexed her wrist to shoot another one out. This one caught and held. She let the grappling line swing her along, and when she reached the height of her jump, leapt up onto another rooftop.
"Catch me if you can, Spider-Man," she purred. Damn, she was starting to like this.
