Spider Bat
Summary: Life can be a living hell if you're the daughter of both Spider-Man AND Batman. Set during Arkham Asylum and after Web of Shadows.
Author's Note: YES this is based during the Arkham Asylum video game and after the Web of Shadows video game, like WAAAYYYY after. Dick, Barbara, and the others are still young in this, instead of Oracle or Nightwing. This story goes more into how Sami became Batman's kid too. She goes into Arkham Asylum after She-Venom aka Miley Brock is transferred from Riker's to Arkham only to find that the Asylum has been taken over by some clown named Joker. To make things worse, Joker's "daughter" is also inside the asylum. This is going to be one hell of a night.

Prologue: One Week Earlier...
Sami walked with Commisioner Stacey as the guards of Riker's escorted She-Venom from her cell to the transfer boat. Miley thrashed and snarled at the guards, but they did not give her any response in return. She had been at it since seven in the morning when Sami had first gotten the call from the Commish. It was now four pm now. Sami rolled her eyes as she massaged her temples. Miley was beginning to get on her nerves with the snarling and growling. It pissed her off when Miley started to complain and brag that she was hot shit and could easily get out of the restraints. One of the rookies dared Miley to do so. Thanks to the rookie, Sami had to break Miley's leg and get a muzzle. The Commisioner and Sami stopped in front of the dock as the guards loaded Miley into the boat. Commisioner Stacey turned to Sami as the rain and unsettled ocean whiped through the air, the wind whiping at their faces,
"Thank you for coming here and helping with She-Venom's transport. I thought she was gonna kill Nelson, but luckily you stepped in. I only pity those poor fellows in Arkham that will be holding her. I can only imagine the headlines now. I trust that you'll go on the boat during her transfer?" he asked. Sami nodded as she looked at the unsteady seas and the darkened clouds. It was mid-July, but it felt as though it was mid-winter. The freezing cold wind and unsteady waters made it difficult for the guards to securely load Miley into the ship.
When they did, Sami bid the Commish a "Fair well for now" and stepped on to the dock as she approached the boat. She safely got on the boat and sat herself on a bench that was on the deck. She watched as New York City's lights faded off into the distance as they sail along the U.S. coastline to New Jersey. She looked at Miley, who was glaring at her from inside her glass holding cell. Sami again rolled her eyes and looked out at the seas. Four hours later, they had arrived at Arkham's loading docks. The Arkham Guards saluted her and she returned the gesture and helped the Riker's guards unload Miley on to the rolling glass case that had been awaiting her. She landed in the case with a thud and growl.
An old man with glasses and mustache approached her, the Gotham City Police Department badge shined on his coat. He held out a hand,
"Sami Parker, I presume? I'm Commisioner Gordon of Gotham PD. I'm sure Commisioner Stacey told you?" he asked. Sami nodded and shook his hand,
"He told me much. Are you sure Arkham is strong enough to hold She-Venom?" Sami asked. Gordon let out a short laugh as he took another drag of his pipe,
"I'm sure we can handle her. If we don't, Batman can." Gordon assured as they walked to the main building where the prisoners were checked in. It was actually kind of irritating to Sami when they had to walk through all the halls. She went with them into the weapon detector and accidentally set off the alarm. The guards shot Sami a glare, but Gordon just waved the guards off. Sami saw some pretty interesting baddies as she walked passed the cells. They were very hostile, but ridiculous looking. She passed what looked like a demented clown, whose cell was right next to Miley's new one. His hair had been dyed a toxic green, skin was bonechillingly white and he wore a messed up red smile that stretched up to his cheek bones. If Sami had worked here, she would install a curtain on the glass. As Miley was being taken out of her "Carrier", the clown tapped on the glass,
"Oh? Is there a new hero in town? Aren't you a little young to be running around the big bad streets of Gotham? Watch out, or else the big bad Batsy will getcha! HAHAHA!" the clown laughed. Sami shook her head as she just continued to watch the guards unload Miley into the cell. Surprisingly, Miley didn't put up a fight. Sami didn't like it. After She-Venom was settled, the Arkham guards had her left the area and headed back to the main part of the asylum. Sami gave a walk by salute to Warden Quincy Sharp and went to the front door. Gordon turned to her,
"You need a ride back to Middleton? I could get you one." Gordon offered. Sami nodded as they went outside. Gordon flipped open his phone and called someone. Who it was, Sami didn't know. He hung up a few minutes later and turned back to her,
"He said he'll be here in a few. Thank you, Ms. Parker. I'll be sure to tell my daughter that I saw you today. She'll probably be jealous of me." he said with a smile as he held out his hand again. She looked up at him and shook his hand again,
"You're welcome, Commisioner Gordon, but please do call me if She-Venom ever gets out. I trust that Batman is a good man, but I know how to take her down in a quick and painless way." Sami requested as she let go of his hand. Gordon nodded in response. Before he could say anything more, a black jet-like car pulled up in front of them. Sami looked up at Gordon, who just winked at her.
The hood of the car opened up and a black figure hopped out. The figure approached closer and Sami had to look up the person. This guy had to have been six foot five inches, 285 lbs. He wore a black kevlar suit with a ton of padded material. He wore a cowl to sheild his face. On top of the cowl were two..horns? Sami really didn't know. She saw a black bat on his chest. He seemed like a pretty strong hero. The only two things she didn't like were the cape and the utility belt. Sami raised a brow, seriously, who wore a utility belt and cape anymore? Sami remembered being told that neither a cape or utility belt were safe during combat. She looked up at him as he stared down at her,
"Ms. Parker," Gordon introduced to the figure and then turned to her, "meet Gotham's own, Batman. Batman, this is Sami Parker from Middleton." Sami looked up at Bats again. Neither one of them said anything. Gordon cleared his throat. Batman turned to the commisioner,
"What is she doing here?" Batman asked. Sami kind of winced at the sound of the guy's voice. He had a deep rough voice that kind of reminded her of Tetrax, except Batman had a higher pitch than Tetrax. Bats actually sounded like that Kevin Conroy dude, who she had seen on television. She saluted Batman, but he didn't return the gesture and instead narrowed his eyes. She dropped the salute. Batman obviously didn't know the greeting either. Geez, Bats really needed to get up to date on the hero handbook, if there was one,
"You don't do a salute?" Sami asked awkwardly. Batman gave her a simple shake of the head,
"What are you doing here?" Batman repeated. Sami looked for the right words to say,
"I was here to transfer a new inmate at Arkham. Sorry if you're offended." Sami said. Batman just nodded and motioned to the batmobile. Sami looked from him to the batmobile and back to Batman. She said goodbye to Gordon and climbed into the vehicle. She waited a few minutes as Bats was speaking with Gordon about something, probably to confirm her story. He turned to the batmobile and climbed in. The hood closed above them and Batman started the car. The engine roared to life. He sped off. As they were leaving Gotham, Sami decided to try and engage in conversation with the Dark Knight,
"So...Arkham seems interesting." Sami said. The Dark Knight mmmm'd as he kept his eyes on the road. Sami tried again,
"So, there was a very awkward clown there. Would he be one of your enemies?" Sami asked curiously. Batman kept his eyes on the road,
"That's the Joker. He's a homicidial maniac who believes that he is funny. He uses something called Joker toxin, which is a mix of Nitrous Oxide and gaseous poison. If you ever see him, run the other way." Batman explained. Sami only stared out the window,
"A clown that uses laughing gas and poison? Seriously? I thought some of my dad's villains were pathetic." Sami said. Batman nodded,
"And why does he do that?" Sami asked.
"He does it all for a laugh or so he claims." Batman replied. Sami rolled her eyes. The dude really was crazy. He deserved more than a cell in Arkham. A small padded room in without any doors sounded about right.
On the way back to Middleton, Sami had nodded off to sleep and rested her head against the window. About three hours later, Sami had woken up. She felt something warm resting on her form. She looked around and saw Batman. He was still driving the batmobile. Sami glanced at the clock radio. It was almost twelve midnight. Sami looked on down and saw that she was under a black cloth. She looked at Batman and saw that his cape was missing. He must've stopped and put it on her while she was sleeping. She looked out the window and saw the outer limits of Middleton. The outer limits on the side of Middleton that she didn't live on. That took another hour.
'Geez,' she thought to herself, 'Middleton could be its own state.'
The city lights continued to flash by and Sami saw some bystanders staring in awe as the batmobile whizzed by in a blur down the streets. She glanced at the clock and made a mental note that they were about a half hour away from her home. She mentally chuckled as she remembered her mother saying that she wanted to live where there was more plants than people. So her father had moved them to a large portion of land that his father had owned. The mansion that used to belong to Uncle Tony's father. Well, it was smaller than a mansion, but it was by no means small at all. It was a house with seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two or three living areas, an attic with a large window with a view of the neighborhood, a large fifty foot by seventy foot backyard, blah, blah, blah, blah. That was when Sami stopped listening to the realitor. The only question that remained on the young brunette's mind was how her family could afford all of it. Must've been the fact that Uncle Tony and Harry Osborn had given her father money. And that fact that her mother, Bloom was still the Princess of Domino. Maybe that was it.
Sami was brought back to the present when Bats had practically stomped on the breaks as he brought the vehicle to a screeching halt. Sami looked up and saw some dumbasses playing in the road. From the looks of it, it looked like her teammates from the football team. She rolled her eyes and Batman honked the horn. One of the idiots, Brick Flagg, the Quarterback, refused to move. He waved at them and looked as though he was speaking to them. Sami watched his lips and if she was correct, it looked like he was asking Batman or "Bat-dude" to jump out and show them a cool trick. The Bat revved the engine dangerously, as if warning the teenagers that if they didn't move, the Dark Knight would turn them into roadkill. The teenagers all nodded and stepped on to the sidewalk and allowed the vehicle to pass. Sami sighed in relief as they continued on to her house.
A half hour passed quickly as the batmobile pulled up in front of her house. She gave the Caped Crusader his cape back but waved a hand,
"It's cold outside. Keep it and I'll come pick it up another time." He said. Sami gave him a shocked and confused look. Did Batman really just tell her to keep his cape? She didn't get a mental answer as a gunshot was heard and a bullet bounced off of the hood of Batman's car. Both heroes turned their heads to the house across the street and Sami groaned,
"Hello, Mrs. Levinsky." She said in a dull tone to the seventy something year old lady that lived across the street. The old woman had a shotgun in her grasp as she waved a fist at the two,
"Ya damn kids! Turn that shiting car off or I'll shoot again!" the old woman hollered as she readied her gun again. Sami waved at her,
"Whatever, you bitter old bitch." Sami called back. A shot whizzed passed her head and hit the tree in her front yard. The old lady let out a cruel laugh as she readied again. Batman gave Sami a half salute as the top of the car closed and sped down the street. Mrs. Levinsky called to her again,
"I better not hear another damn car in your shiting drive way again, ya hear?" Sami rolled her eyes,
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now go back in your house and watch your shitty little shows and do whatever you old people do. Preferably going to sleep. Goodnight, Mrs. Levinsky." Sami called. She heard a brief, "Ah, shut the hell up!" before she went inside. Sami held the cape in her grasp, rolled up in a black ball in her left arm. She was about to head upstairs when the living room light went on. The girl turned, gun armed, to see a very tired looking Bloom standing in the kitchen,
"And where were you, young lady?" Bloom asked as she yawned. Sami let out breath of relief as she put the gun back in its holster and explained where she was as Bloom nodded in confirmation. Her mother looked at the black ball in her arm. Sami caught Bloom's stare and looked down at the ball. Bloom gave her a questioning look,
"What is that?" the red head asked as she pointed at the cape. Sami chuckled,
"It's the Batman's cape. He let me use it when I fell asleep in the batmobile. He'll probably come back to pick it up sometime either tomorrow or sometime this week." Sami explained. Bloom nodded as she let out another yawn. She waved to Sami and told her that she was going back to sleep. Sami nodded as she unrolled the cape and folded it into a neat square. She put the cloth under her arm and followed her mother up the stairs.
Once upstairs, she pressed the access code into the panel next to her bedroom door. The door slide open with a quiet swoosh. She heard Saber growl as he came down the seven or eight steps that seperated her living area from her actual bedroom. Saber stood tall, looking quite vicious with his teeth bared and head lowered. He looked ready to pounce at any moment, though he turned his half wolf instincts off the minute he saw his owner. He closed his mouth and wagged his tail,
"Aw, did you miss me, buddy?" Sami asked as she petted the black and white head. The husky-wolf hybrid let out a bark of happiness. Sami made a quiet notion as she pressed a finger to her lips. The dog nodded as he ran back to Sami's bedroom or sleeping area in another part of her room. Sami still couldn't believe that her parents agreed to let her put in two more rooms in her bedroom. One for her dresser and bed with an unnecessary walk-in closet that she used for the dresses she was given. The mirror in the closet had her lab behind it, but her parents didn't know that. The other room was used for her bathroom. The original bedroom was turned into her own small living room, which had a green sofa, a green recliner, a flatscreen, a glass coffee table and a mini frigde full of energy drinks and energy bars. She also had shelves for the awards she had gotten throughout the duration of her school carreer from pre-k to now. Pictures of friends and family also hung on the walls.
She let out a breath and collapsed on to the couch. She heard Saber's claws tapping against the hard wood floor as he came back into the living space. He tilting his head as if asking her why she wasn't in her bed. She patted the spot next to her. The black and white dog grabbed the remote off the coffee table and handed it to her before he jumped on to the couch next to her. She flicked on the television as the news came on, retelling the events that had occured earlier in Gotham. She listened until she eventually fell asleep, the darkness turning warm as it embraced her into a beautifully dark dreamland.
This is the end of the first chapter of my new story. I hope you liked reading it as much as I liked writing it. I'm sorry if I go into too much detail with things. I will also try to update as soon as I can. Reviews, favorites or messages would be nice. Peace out, girlscouts!
