- Goin' Straight! · 22 pages
Both Spider-Man and the Black Cat have conflicting emotions about their new status as lovers. Spider-Man wants the Black Cat to go straight, even going so far as to ask Captain Jean DeWolff to get her a pardon. The Black Cat, on the other hand, has a hard time kicking old habits and wants the two of them to use their abilities to become thieves. Spider-Man tries to immobilize the Black Cat with his web, but rather than ending up in prison, she jumps in the river. Believing her dead, Spider-Man is even more sad to receive the news of a full pardon for the Black Cat.
