- Do I see a future with Odessa Drake, the beautiful woman with her own obsessions? No. Not with our lives being what they are, with us being who we are. But we saved the city today. The two of us.
- —Felicia's monologue about Odessa as they kiss passionately.
Black Cat x Odessa is the femslash ship between Felicia Hardy and Odessa Drake from the Marvel fandom.
Canon[]
Both of them have an on-again-off-again relationship.
Black Cat (2019)[]
When Odessa kidnaps Felicia's mentor, the Black Fox, Felicia goes to retrieve him. Meanwhile, Black Fox torments Odessa by bringing up Felicia. He says she's mad she can't have Felicia only to herself. And also says the two of them are so similar, yet total opposites. Then, he claims Odessa is jealous of Felicia's freedom and independence. Finally, he says there's nothing in the world Odessa wants more than Felicia, because she "stole" Odessa's heart.
As Odessa tries to avoid listening to his statements, Felicia comes down from the roof, demanding Odessa to release the Black Fox. After the two of them have a short argument, Odessa lets Felicia go. But as she does so, she says that "this will mean war." Felicia just reiterates Odessa's words in her mind, not really convinced of them.
Black Cat (2021)[]
After Black Fox reveals he's immortal, much to Felicia's dismay, Felicia goes directly to Odessa. She is greeted by all of Odessa's security guards, which Felicia ends up taking down. When some of the security brings Felicia to Odessa, they joke a little bit about Odessa's choice of words ("look what the cat dragged in"). And then, Odessa directly asks Felicia what she's there for. When Felicia replies "I need you," this catches Odessa's attention immediately. Felicia tells her that Black Fox sold the city to the Gilded Saint and that she needs Odessa's help. So Odessa agrees to work with Felicia, on the condition that she takes down the Black Fox.
Now, with the help of Odessa, Felicia gets to the vaults and changes the deal. She refuses her immortality and destroys the deed of Manhattan. Gilded Saint pulls Black Fox into the vaults as an exchange. And once the city is saved, Felicia and Odessa meet again at a bar in the city to discuss how their relationship will keep developing. Odessa brings back the "war" thing she mentioned the last time they separated, but this time as a joke, saying they'll take this war "to bed." After this, they kiss passionately and go on to have sex that night.
Fanon[]
Black Cat x Odessa is a rare pair in the Marvel fandom. However, when the kiss was revealed, this ship trended and became really popular. Mainly due to the fact that many people didn't know Felicia was queer. The fact this was revealed in Pride Month too was a big impact to fans of the ship and fans in the fandom in general.
