A military research base

Black Cat had once been asked to steal some things from a military research base. However, the employer wasn't willing to pay the amount she asked to do it. But now, so long as they were still here, they would be perfect for her plan.

Ardour landed on a rooftop overlooking the military research base, watching carefully, observing the movements of the guards, and looking for her prize. Normally she'd case the place at least one or two times before trying to infiltrate it, but she had to act faster than normal so that she could have Spider-Man sooner. She also felt more confident in herself thanks to her new symbiotic powers. After some time, she saw her opportunity.

Ardour dived off the roof, shooting a symbiotic web and swinging herself onto the main research building. Now, holding onto the side of a window, she used one of her new, even sharper claws, to cut a whole in it. She slid the glass out and slipped inside, replacing the glass behind her to avoid suspicion that someone broke in, at least while she was still inside.

She climbed onto the ceiling, heading towards her goal. On her way, she webbed any cameras that she couldn't avoid. Then she saw the central lab, a single guard standing at the door.

She shot a web at his face, blinding and gagging him, before leaping down and kicking him in the head, knocking him out. She took his swipe card and used it to slip inside the lab.

After going through a decontamination room, that she ignored using, she entered into the main lab room. It was cool, the walls were lined with various glass-front fridges containing various test tubes of liquids, and benches filled the centre of the room, each with various lab equipment on them. She walked along the fridges, looking at the labels. Then she saw it, a small label with only a few test tubes behind it. It read 'MSC-X.'

She opened the fridge and took all of the MSC-X serums, she pulled out a compact cooling pack from her symbiotic suit and slipped each serum in it, before hiding it back in her suit.

She quickly left the main lab, ignoring the decontamination procedures and stepping over the **** guard. She crawled back onto the ceiling, to remain as hidden as possible, and headed for her second prize.

She went down to the lowest level; the storage room. A few guards were walking around, doing various jobs. Part of her wanted to see if she could take them all out, but she had to remain as stealthy as possible. She slowly climbed along the ceiling, looking at the labels of the various crates in the room, hoping it was still there. A crate with caution stipes on it caught her eye, she got closer and sure enough, it was what she was looking for. It read 'Caution: Prototype. EXS-5.'

She looked around, and couldn't see any guards that would be able to see her. She dropped down beside the crate, and cracked it open. Inside was a black suit of armour. She grabbed it out, and held it under one arm.

She shot a web onto the ceiling and pulled herself back up. She climbed towards the open garage door, and when no one was looking, she slipped out the door and climbed back to the top of the building. Then, she swung away and headed home.

She placed the serums in her refrigerated safe, and hid the suit in her regular safe. Once everything was safely locked away, she swung away into the early hours of the morning, the earliest signs of the sun starting to rise beginning to show.
