I apologize for the reception, ladies. After all, it was I who invited you here while the borders between our worlds are so porous. Because, while the... pudding-woman is a charming bonus, it is a thief I require. And Belasco gets whatever it is that Belasco requires.

Synopsis for 1st story
As New York City goes to Hell (again) Black Cat finds the silver lining in that this isn't her fault this time. From her gathered intel, Chasm (Ben Reilly) has caused events in the city along with a redheaded accomplice, which reminds Felicia to seek out Mary Jane after immolating several newspaper demons hounding her. Although not a choice, Felicia does so for Peter's sake; and because she never really learns from her past experiences, she cares about what he needs all over again. Recalling their last adventure,[1] Felicia likes Mary Jane and they're good friends now, but Felicia was content with Peter being with Mary Jane, yet the roles are reversed. Felicia still aims to help Mary Jane because Peter would want her safe as she doesn't have super powers, only to find Mary Jane with super powers protecting Paul and his kids from demonic appliances from her sister Gayle. Once finished, Mary Jane is startled by Black Cat's arrival and orders that she saw nothing, while Black Cat did see something and is curious if Mary Jane held back when they went against Tombstone.[1]
However, a demonic water tank grabs Mary Jane with water tendrils, so Felicia orders Paul to take the kids to the basement for safety as she'll save Mary Jane. Calling Iron Man to send security drones, he capitulates when Felicia elaborates on Mary Jane's involvement before he hangs up. As the water tower demon climbs a building, Mary Jane calms down to activate her device to spin for a new power. Reaching out to grab some form of energy, she pulls it and earns three slot icons: Horse Shoe, Seven, and Bell. With flame wings and a fire sword to fight the demon, Felicia arrives and inquires if Mary Jane is an Avenger or a Mutant, the latter being a hot topic now. Mary Jane refuses to discuss this any further but asks if Felicia won't simply accept that it's her business, and Felicia reminds her about cats and curiosity. With the water tower demon defeated, Felicia informs Mary Jane that Tony had sent a drone to check up on Paul and the kids. Felicia also tells her that Ben Reilly is back and the cause of the demonic disturbance like what happened years earlier, so a concerned Mary Jane asks her for a lift back to her family.
When asking who knows, Mary Jane admits that Paul knows but not Peter, wishing to keep it so, trusting Felicia can keep the secret. Feeling guilty since she's dating Peter now, Felicia fails to change the subject as Mary Jane asks about Peter's well-being. Felicia mentions his tussle with Tombstone,[2] but is distracted when a portal to Limbo opens, blaming herself for forgetting to consider that the channeled magic could flow both ways. Upon landing, they are met by native demons, perplexed by more Earth girls showing up in their domain. Not wanting to stay any longer than they want, Mary Jane spins for a new power and gets Cherry, Skull, and BAR. With a bad spin, Mary Jane becomes a pudding person, elaborating that her wristband works like slots with a new power per activation. When reminded of the demons staring them down, the two women fight said demons, not attentive to the man aside from the skirmish calling their attention. Blasting away the demons, the man has their attention and elaborates that it was he who "invited" them to Limbo while the borders of reality were so porous. Because while a pudding woman was a bonus, Belasco needed a thief for a matter and Belasco gets whatever Belasco requires.

Synopsis for "The Mask of Doctor Doom"
Recounting her theft of Doctor Doom's mask, Black Cat escaped by using his Time Platform. She tells of crossing paths with the pirates of Captain Fate, Moon-Boy and Devil Dinosaur, having a passing kiss with Angel (Thomas Halloway), fighting Nazis with the Invaders, to visiting an ancient jungle, and even besting Kang the Conqueror in combat. Now, she's playing poker and concludes the story by presenting Doctor Doom's mask, calling a bet, and adding to the ante. Eugene Judd, Ben Grimm, and Jake Lockley stare quietly in doubt, only for Mary Jane to break the silence when she points out that the mask was made in Mexico. As Felicia tries to joke that Doom outsources, the men boo her for the time wasted, forcing her to fold with a busted bluff.
