A woman was climbing a building as the moon shines down on her.
She is an African American woman with shoulder-length black hair with purple highlights and lipstick. She is wearing a short-sleeve leather top that exposed her midriff, a metal backpack, elbow-length gloves, leather pants that showed a tribal tattoo on her lower back, and knee-high boots. She also has goggles on that are turned on to night vision.
She got to the top floor and pressed a button by her ear, having a green laser shooting out from between her eyes cutting a hole in the glass. She then jumped through and used free running to dodge the laser alarms and security cameras and then just used a rope attached to the rafters and swung over the floor alarms to a desk.
She picked up a diamond necklace before tossing it and looked to a nightstand by a bed. Smiling, she somersaulted over the bed and picked up a gold statue in the shape of a small tub of popcorn before reaching back and putting it in her backpack that opened up and closed as she dropped the award in it.
"Catch me if you can." She said shooting a grapnel out of the top of her glove and swinging back to the hole. Intentionally kicking over a piece of artwork setting off the alarm.
"What, no acceptance speech?"
As Talon was getting out, she looked up to see Shinobi sticking to the wall. "Didn't thank your manager, your agent, your assistant, your shrink, the Dalai Lama?"
"I'm a bitch, what can I say?" Talon fell as she hooked a rope around her waist on a D clip.
Naruto dived down and flipped past her before sticking to the wall, and slid a foot after Talon stopped.
"Do you need a paperweight or is there a market for cable TV awards?"
"OK, first of all; spandex."
Naruto looked at her before glancing at his costume. "Not everything's about money, sweetheart. If it's worth something to them, it's worth something to me. And third..." Talon then jumped over the ninja and swan-dived down before Naruto backflipped and followed after her.
Talon shot another grapnel and swung to a construction building and ducked under a kick from Naruto as he appeared in front of the thief. Naruto dashed over and tackled her, knocking her goggles off revealing her brown eyes. She flipped them over before grabbing her goggles and ran to the edge after blowing Naruto a kiss as she put her goggles back on.
She shot a beam at a crane holding a steel beam having it fall. Naruto then jumped on it, wrap ninja wires around it, and then threw a kunai up that wrapped around the crane having the beam swing onto a floor before the kunai unwound from the crane. Naruto looked to see Talon without her goggles blow him another kiss before backing into the shadows.
"(Sigh) OK, that was humiliating. And this is not freaking spandex!"
Morning, ESU A Week Later.
Naruto leaned back in his chair as Peter was reading a paper on Talon while waiting for M.J. and Felecia. Shuri, not coming stating that as she had to go to the embassy for business for several days.
"Who makes up these names? These guys read too many comic books." Peter said as M.J. and Felicia sat down each having a second cup of coffee for them.
"Where's Harry? I thought he was going to honor us with his presence this afternoon?"
"Don't know, must be taking a page out of Peter's book on being late," Felicia said as Peter shrugged.
"He's not home, said he was at the library or something. I didn't think he even knew what the library was." Peter replied just as Harry walked up to them.
"Where the hell have you been?" Naruto asked drinking his coffee.
"Worried that I was in a bar running up a tab as big as the nation's debt?"
"Not like you couldn't afford it," Felicia said sipping her coffee.
"Not like it's any of your business or anything but I met someone."
"Wow. Who's the lucky babe of the week?" Mary Jane asked before Peter spoke.
"It's like they have an expiration date on their forehead."
"Guys, I know this is hard to believe. Hell, even I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around this, but I think I actually like this one."
The others just stared in disbelief at that.
"He's not kidding."
"I don't think he is."
"You owe me money."
"What?!" Naruto spoke up after Felicia who sipped her coffee.
"Wait, if you're so hot on this girl, why haven't we met her?" Peter asked staring at Harry. "You embarrassed of us or something?"
"That's it, isn't it? We're not good enough for her." Mary Jane said leaning on the table as she drank her coffee.
"That's right you're not. But that's not the reason. I just wanted to take my time. Didn't want to rush into anything. Huh, go figure."
"Who the hell are you and what have you done with the real Harry Osborn?!" Naruto asked pointing at Harry.
"You keep acting like a jerk and you won't get to meet her."
"No, it's because she'll dump you once she sees me."
"I'll make dinner for the six of us," Harry said getting up from the table.
"You?!"
"Cook?!"
"Without burning everything to a blackened cinder?!"
"Yeah," Harry said to Peter, M.J., and Felicia.
"Whoa, you mean preparing food for human consumption utilizing heat?"
"Just shut up and be ready at 7."
Harry's And Peter's Apartment 6:30 PM.
Harry was cooking as Peter and Mary Jane were asking him questions about his mystery date as Naruto and Felicia were sitting on the couch watching TV.
Knock-Knock!
As soon as Felicia tried to lean against Naruto, there was a knock at the door.
Peter walked over and answered it revealing Talon who was wearing a purple shirt and a black skirt with matching boots.
"Hi, I'm Cheyenne."
(COUGH!)
Naruto coughed as he swallowed his soda at hearing the familiar voice having Felicia hit his back to help him.
Later, Peter, M.J., and Felicia were asking Harry and Cheyenne questions as Naruto mainly stayed quiet only speaking up when asked a question himself or speaking up when others talked about times when he was hanging out with Harry.
Soon, Cheyenne had to leave to catch a flight to go skiing with her friends and had Mary Jane and Felicia follow to share a cab as Naruto left for the subway.
A Few Hours Later.
Talon walked on a rooftop, throwing her goggles into her backpack as she stood at the edge of the roof.
"I know this is going to sound like a bad pick-up line."
She looked over to see Shinobi was on the top of the entrance to the building.
"But haven't I seen you somewhere before?"
"Hmmph! I thought we talked about that outfit."
Naruto then jumped in front of the thief. "Not all of us can wear leather. Isn't it chafing?"
"I never get that hot," Talon said before gesturing to her midriff. "Not with this on anyway. Listen, I don't mean to be rude..." She said walking past Naruto. "But you're irritating. So, what do you want? Didn't you get your ass kicked last time?"
"First: No I did not. You cut a steel beam to stop me from chasing you. Second: Not on my worst day could you beat me." Naruto said before walking along the edge after the thief. "That bitter and hostile routine is getting old. But hey, as long as we're getting to know each other… What the hell are you doing here?"
"You mean a nice girl like me?"
"Don't know if nice would be the word."
Talon rolled her eyes before grappling away, Naruto following by running along the walls. "But I'm writing for Crime Fighter Monthly on the inner psyche of the criminal element and I just wanted to pick your brain."
"You know what they say, 'It all goes back to the mother'," Talon said as they landed on a roof.
"That really your story? Don't have anyone that means something to you? If you get hurt or arrested..."
"Why do you care?" Talon said before Naruto could continue.
"Not every criminal is really the, 'take over the world and past saving type'. I don't believe you're one of them."
"Do you really think this Oprah moment will really turn me?" Talon asked before turning to leave.
"I was hoping. Come on, let's talk."
"Not interested. But I do need a date. Tomorrow night. Here. Nine o'clock sharp. It'll give you a chance to really see my skills." Talon then jumped off and pulled a parachute as Naruto just stared.
"… Great."
Morning Harry And Peter's Apartment.
The next day, Naruto was going back and forth on telling Harry and just avoiding him to keep from telling the truth about Cheyenne. He stopped by his and Peter's apartment, intent on telling Harry only to stop and see Cheyenne getting dressed on the upper floor. Peter obviously wasn't at the apartment.
'Damn.' Naruto thought. Knowing that if he said anything now, Cheyenne would know who he is due to her revealing her face to him under his alter ego.
"Did you ask him?" Cheyenne asked as she walked to sit on Harry's lap.
"Cheyenne is leaving tonight and wants us all to hang out. M.J. and Felicia are already heading over."
"Great, great."
Later, everyone was rock climbing, the women wearing leggings and t-shirts as the men wore shorts and sleeveless shirts. Naruto was ahead of everyone before looking to see Cheyenne grab M.J. who lost her footing before they reached the top and left.
9:00 PM, New York.
Shinobi waited for Cheyenne who dropped beside him.
"Sorry for being late. Couldn't do a thing with my hair."
"OK then," Naruto said as Talon grappled over to the next building. "So, why am I here? Oh, you've fallen for me, haven't you?"
"Nope."
"OK, this isn't what you want to do with your life, is it? Most of the people in this business are... idiots. You're smarter than that." Naruto said as he followed.
"You're right. I am smarter." Talon said before a police helicopter showed up, right before a S.H.I.E.L.D. one did flagging the police copter away.
"How about that? So am I," Naruto said as Rachel appeared at the door.
"Talon! You're under arrest!"
Talon cursed under her breath before throwing flashbangs around. "Cheyenne, come on! We just want to help!" Naruto yelled out covering his eyes.
"How do you know my name?!" Talon asked before a bullet grazed her leg and had her flip off the roof and blew Naruto a kiss before disappearing into the darkness.
The next day, Naruto visited Harry who was telling Peter that Cheyenne had to leave early and that she may not be coming back before Peter offered to take them all out for coffee to get Harry's mind off of Cheyenne.
