Peter ended up crashing at my place, after slipping back into his house to leave a note for his aunt that he'd gotten up early. He took the fast way, so I barely had enough time to get my dick sucked again before he got back, but barely was still enough, and Felicia was happy to tempt me a little further. Sadly, he was back all too soon, and we all passed out on the couch watching movies after a night bonding as a team, which was much easier to focus on after the second blowjob.
In the morning, Felicia and I woke up to find Peter cooking pancakes for us, which was nice, and as we sat down to dig into the hot breakfast, he finally brought up the elephant in the room. "So. We're going to be going after Fisk." Felicia froze, her expression becoming complicated, but eventually she nodded, forcing herself to keep eating. Peter took a bite, chewed thoughtfully, and asked. "What do you know about his operation? Billy came to me to ask about it, but I'm assuming you already have a firm idea?"
Felicia swallowed heavily. "Somewhat. I can tell you the basics of course. Fisk started out in the drug trade, kidnapping mutants to harvest a special hormone from them to create super soldiers. After he built up some steam he recruited a few locals to help him bounce Turk Barrett, one of the local crime bosses, out of town so he could take his place. He flipped one of Barrett's men, Jefferson Davis, and between him and his own crew of monsters he calls 'The Enforcers' established an iron grip on the city's drug trade."
Peter made an interested sound. "I knew about The Enforcers. Never heard of Davis though. He must have been killed or something. These days the enforcers are just four guys. Ox, Montana, Fancy Dan, and Mr. Big. There was actually a break in the Kingpin's operations for a few years after he took down Barrett, from what I can tell he got picked up by the cops and did some time, not that it seems to have loosened his grip."
"It hasn't." I agreed. "No clue when he got out, but Hector the dug dealer was terrified of the guy, and made it sound like he'd always been the one in charge. Seems crazy he was able to arrange all that so quickly if he was away for a few years. Any idea how he managed it?" I directed that question at Felicia, leaving her to answer as I took a bite of my own. These pancakes were really good.
She looked unperturbed. "Of course. He was still running things from prison. Fisk's operation was massive, even being behind bars didn't do much to limit it's scope. Especially since most career criminals have loved ones in prison. He essentially had an entire penitentiary full of hostages. It made keeping control easy." She sneered belligerently. "Fisk is a big fan of those kinds of intimidation tactics. He likes to pretend he's a civilized mobster and a gentleman criminal, but he's never been anything but a vicious, brutal, thug."
Her eyes snapped to me, wide and shining with some indefinable emotion. She licked her lips hungrily, and I had to fight not to laugh at the obvious scheming. She wanted me to beat him for her, that much she'd been up front about. But it was more than that. She didn't just want him beaten. She wanted him broken. Destroyed. She wanted me to crush him. I still didn't know what Fisk had done to her, but it had been personal. She hated him to her core. No wonder she'd been so willing to do whatever it took to get me on board.
Peter just nodded. "I've heard the same. Fisk is a freakishly strong monster about the same size as you, Billy. An inch shorter and about the same weight, he wears it with a bit less...style, than you." Translation, he was fat because he didn't have super condensed muscles, but he was a giant bastard and could still throw his weight around. I wasn't worried, no one my size would be a match for me unless they had superpowers. "The question remains though, what exactly do we do to him? We could just bust up his drug dens and stuff, but that's just ant bites on an elephant. I assume you have some kind of plan?"
For the first time since she'd arrived, Felicia focused fully on Peter, eyes leaving me. "I do." She said grimly. "Specifically, I have a target. It's why I've been scrambling to put together some backup and why I've been so busy the last few days. The Kingpin has a shipment coming in. Something big and important he's keeping hush hush. I don't know what the hell it IS, but I know that if he wants something this badly I don't want him to have it. That's why we're going to bust up his shipment and steal it."
"Cool." I said happily. "That sounds like a fun time." I paused. "It's not tonight is it? Because I kind of have plans I can't get out of." If I canceled on Gwen again I'd probably lose my chance with her, and she was pretty sexy. Felicia gave me a suspicious look, but finally rolled her eyes. "No. Two days from now." She pouted at me. "Though I hope your plans aren't going to extend into tomorrow. I was hoping we could spend some time together."
On valentines. I'd have been offended at the obvious attempt to get more influence over me if I wasn't pretty sure it would involve sex. As it was I was down for that. I'd probably have blue balls after wining and dining Gwen all night anyway. "Sounds like fun. We can do dinner tomorrow." I winked at her. "We can eat here, do you want to cook or should I?" I wasn't a bad cook actually, though hardly at Peter or Aunt May's level.
Felicia's wide grin was almost feline. "I can cook for us. I think I can guess exactly what you'll enjoy most." Her soft purr left little to the imagination about what she meant.
Peter cleared his throat. "Guys? Can you maybe not be openly pornographic at the breakfast table? Some of us are trying to eat." We both snickered at him and he rolled his eyes. Peter gave off serious little brother vibes, and even Felicia was catching some of it I think. "Now, you don't have any ideas what this thing could be?" He asked our platinum blonde teammate. "Because I'd prefer not to just rely on grabbing whatever item seems the most heavily guarded. What if he brings in a decoy? We would have no clue we were grabbing the wrong thing."
Felicia slumped. "I've been trying to find out. Whatever it is, he's being insanely secretive. I wouldn't be shocked to hear he was killing anyone who knows. The closest I got was a minion who works one of his distribution centers. They overheard someone in the chain of command mention the word Zodiac. Sadly I can't follow THAT person because they're dead now. Fell out a window later that same day."
I whistled at that. "Well damn. Seems like he really doesn't want anyone finding out what this thing is." I paused. "That makes me really want to know. Peter, can you like...cross reference the term Zodiac with incoming shipments to find out what it is?"
The little punk actually rolled his eyes at me. "Oh, sure. I'm positive the secret weapon Kingpin is willing to kill to keep hidden is definitely listed on the shipping manifest. Maybe I should try searching for the term secret weapon directly. He might just have used that as short hand." His tone was dripping with sarcasm. Not in a dickish way, but just in a ribbing each other sort of way.
I still flipped him off. "No shit sherlock. But I didn't say to check the MANIFEST. If he's killing people to keep this thing's name quiet then it's clearly something someone would recognize. Those shipments may not list WHAT is coming in, but I bet you can dig up from where. Just cross reference the term Zodiac with the original shipping location of every shipment incoming on the 15th. Maybe it's been mentioned in the news or something, or local history."
Peter and Felicia were both staring at me like I'd grown a second head. I just glared back. "What? I'm not an idiot just because I'm big and tough. I DO have good ideas." I was the leader of this team gods damn it, I would not be relegated to the role of dumb muscle.
Clearing his throat, Peter held up both hands. "Hey no disagreement here. It's just not something I'd considered. Forest for the trees or whatever. It's a good idea though. Hell, we might want to check local folklore too. It might be some kind of magic artifact or something. If he's so convinced that just having this thing is important, it's probably either that or some kind of advanced superweapon."
That one I hadn't considered, and I grimaced. I wasn't a fan of magic. Shit didn't make any sense. Some kind of cosmic force you could tap into? Superpowers should be pulled out of your ass in complete defiance of god and nature, not floating around in the air like invisible gasoline for crazy spells. I admitted some of that was just annoyance though. I had no natural knack for magic, despite having tried a few times. I just had to punch my problems until they went away.
Felicia however, looked excited. "I hadn't even considered that. I have a few contacts who can tell me about magical stuff. Zodiac is pretty broad, I think there are literally whole schools of magic dedicated to stars and shit, but if you Peter can figure out exactly what this thing is I might be able to narrow that down. I might even be able to USE it. My powers kind of come from that side of things. Oh right, I have minor bad luck abilities. Nothing big."
I hummed thoughtfully. "That's good. I kind of assumed your powers were just have supernaturally jiggly tits. Seriously, it's like you're channeling anime physics or something." I paused. "Are you doing that? Is that some kind of magical titty jiggling spell that makes them irresistable or something? Titnosis?" I reached out to cover Peter's eyes. "Look away Pete, her magical mammaries are placing you under her sway, save yourself. It's too late for me."
"You aren't as funny as you think you are." Felicia said with an exaggerated pout. I could see a bit of sparkle in her eyes. "And no. My breasts do not jiggle because of magic. They do it because they're huge. And also because I may or may not have learned to flex my pectoral muscles in a specific way to get a certain effect." She shrugged when we both looked at her flatly, though I'd suspected that already. "What? Bouncing titties make boys dumb. It's a very real advantage in the field, and I need every one I can get."
That made me laugh. Peter just palmed his face. "I...am beginning to regret this decision. Anyway, I'll look into this for you guys. See if we can find out something concrete. Cat, can I get your number in case I need to get you the info?" She looked at him suspiciously, but seeing a complete lack of interest from him at her nearly overflowing cleavage just shrugged (in a suspiciously jiggly way) and held out a hand. When she got his phone she tapped out her number.
"No calling me for anything other than work." She shot me a sly look. "I don't want Billy to get all jealous." She typed the number slowly before stopping and raising an eyebrow. "Or maybe you wouldn't bother. I guess I'm not your type. You like a little spice in your pepper Petey?" She cooed delightedly as Peter's eyes went wide and he dove for the phone. He didn't use his powers, so she was able to snatch it away before he snagged it. "Who's this little fire crotch? She's a cutie. I'd hit it."
Peter's face was beet red. "Give that back Cat. Those are just some glamour shots I helped a friend take. She lives next door to me and wants to be a model, and she knows I take pictures."
Felicia giggled as she darted around the room, flipping through pictures I couldn't see too well. "Oh gosh, is our little Petey playing casting couch with the pretty neighbor girl? 'Gosh Peter, are you sure that directors will ask me to do this type of thing? I've never put one of these in my mouth before'." She was practically falling over with laughter, so he was able to catch her and snatch the phone back pretty quickly, not that it stopped her mocking giggles.
My buddy looked mortified. "It's not like that at all! MJ is a friend, she just asked for my help. I didn't take advantage of her or anything. That's terrible."
Felicia shot him a wicked grin. "Really? So you're completely platonic with this girl. Our boy genius never spanked his super monkey to these pictures? Hell, I'm not usually into girls and I'm tempted to let my fingers do the walking. That ass is tight." Her voice became malicious. "No one would blame you Petey. You're a healthy growing boy. Milking your meat hose to a beautiful girl who literally spread em' and asked you to take pictures is nothing to be ashamed of."
I was trying not to laugh myself, but I cut in anyway. "Alright Cat. Leave him alone." Our poor tech nerd was so embarrassed by all the crudeness he looked ready to faint. "And you." I said to him admonishingly. "She wouldn't fuck with you if you didn't react so easily. I haven't seen this girl, but if she's cute, ask her out already. Worst that happens is she says no. You're clearly interested."
Left unsaid was that he was a superhero with superhuman stamina, and if he couldn't deep dick miss copper top into a drooling sex kitten he should just swear off women forever. I wondered if Gwen knew about red head neighbor girl. Those two were friends for a while before I met them, even if Peter was pretty intimidated by the cop princess too. I'd have to ask her about the neighbor.
Peter looked less appalled and more thoughtful at that, and he was weirdly quiet until he left. I never got to see the pictures myself, but Felicia clearly liked them judging by the deep throating I got from her before she left. Either way, I was pretty happy with the team bonding day. Plus with my nuts drained so well I didn't have to worry about blowing my almost valentines day with Gwen. Now, to bust out some of that cash and go pick out a nice suit. Hoped I could find a nice bag and tall store. Nobody ever had my sizes.
