Felicia Hardy wasn't a bad person by heart. Just a victim of circumstances. Or at least that's what she always used to comfort herself with.

She didn't chose to be a cat burglar, that's for sure. Nor did she have any alternatives when it came to working for Kingpin. She was helping a gangster build his empire and be his accomplice as he committed several unspeakable crimes, but.... she didn't have a choice. She always used to calm herself with those words. Survival of the fittest, after all.

And then, a vigilante comes in her life, which makes her question just about everything she was otherwise so sure about. She is bested and caught multiple times, but is always let go because the captor doesn't want 'a young bright soul to rotten behind the bars'. She is much better than being a cat burglar and Kingpin's henchwoman, she is told. Really? In her entire life, she had never even considered to be anything else that being a burglar, a skilled thief, and potentially a crime boss someday. And here is this total stranger, who is seeing some 'hidden' qualities, 'deep rooted' goodness in her that she herself thought she had long lost.

Kingpin, meanwhile, plans to use her impression on his foe to form a trap. For the first time, Felicia doesn't feel like she wants to do the job. She doesn't want to lure her savior in trap, knowing full well what Wilson Fisk is capable of doing, and will certainly do. And yet.... she does. Fisk's plan works to perfection, and the hero is soundly captured, and ridiculed for being foolish enough to trust the Black Cat, of all people. The hero was a thorn to his side for a long time, so Fisk is elated. Felicia, not so much. She looks at the captive, and the look of sincere kindness in their eyes just unsettles her further. The young cat who had long stood tall without letting any of her actions taint her confidence is now finding herself unable to even make an eye contact.

Kingpin isn't bothered. He quickly detains his foe in his dark lair, and begins to torture his captive. Brutally, mercilessly. Aiming to extract as much information as he can, before dishing out a long, painful, merciless death that would serve as a grim warning for anyone who'd want to cross paths with the Kingpin in future. But the hero's spirit remains unbroken, the determination to not give any information to Fisk only strengthening with every blow, every torture thrown at their way.

And finally, Felicia has enough. She can't sit back. She can't whine about circumstances if she's letting the one person who believed in her succumb to such gruesome end because of her. No. Today, Black Cat will take a stand, and orchestrate a daring escape.

Will she succeed though? Or will her heart revert back to the evil ways inadvertently? Your choice.

Of course Peter Parker / Spider-Man is the obvious choice, but I'm keeping it vague so you can pick any other personality you want. Third person bot, so you can also pick Felicia, Fisk or anyone else.
