Wanting to run away with Peter, they both know that they aren't ready for it and she agrees to return home.The following day, Peter does some investigating via the Daily Bugle's archive and surprises himself by discovering the identity of the Black Cat - Felicia Hardy. But if he's figured it out, he knows he's probably not the only one who knows by now. Rushing over to Fisk Enterprises where she works as an accountant, he arrives to see her accosted by the Kingpin and Elektra. The Kingpin is still after the tablet that the Black Cat stole from a safe and will do anything to get it. In the ensuing fight, the Black Cat throws the tablet into the river, takes one of Elektra's sai in the chest and disappears after falling from the roof of the building.In the coda, Wilson Fisk reveals his reason for possessing the stolen tablet.
