Batman and Spiderman
"Bat in the Web"
By: Ian Butler
Chapter 1: "Meet New Friends"
A dark night in Gotham, the lights of car in traffic filled the streets, the moon was a light blue color. Tonight was a perfect night, for the Batman to emerge from the shadows and take crime wherever it may surface. Batman looked down into the streets below on the top of Wayne Tower while he listened in on the police scanner. Within moments, a suspicious person was identified on Crime Alley wearing a tiger pelt as clothes while being covered in knives from head to toe. Batman leaps off the building and makes his way to Crime alley.
As Batman arrived at the entrance to the alleyway, policemen surrounded the alley on both sides. "Stand down, drop the weapon sir!" Said Jim Gordon, holding a handgun to the madman. As soon as Batman arrived, the police cleared the way and allowed Batman to speak to the crazed hunter. "Drop the knife Kraven." Said Batman.
"Batman, Finally we meet. I've been awaiting your arrival." Said Kraven.
"What are you doing away from the Amazon, Kraven? Plenty of prey to be hunted there." Replied Batman.
"Don't try to bait me, Batman. I came here to claim the head of the Bat. So are we going to talk or fight like men!" Said Kraven.
"You don't want to do this Kraven." Answered Batman, raising his fists.
Before Batman could strike, Kraven leaped up the fire escape and stood on the roof of the left building. The policemen began to fire at Kraven, Batman lowered Gordon's gun and said, "He's mine." Batman then grappled up to the roof of the left building, only to meet Kraven's foot to his face. Batman shouted in pain and landed on the edge of the other rooftop. Batman quickly got back to his feet and threw three batarangs with surprising speed. Kraven dodged the batarangs with ease and slammed into Batman with relentless fury. He wanted the head of the Bat, his collection would soon be completed. Batman fought back, equaling his strength but not his animalistic fury. Kraven pulled out his two best knives and tried to land a blow on Batman, yet he remained unsuccessful. Kraven aggressively jabbed at Batman, desperately trying to get a single blade through his armor. Eventually, Batman disarmed Kraven and threw him into a air conditioner, crushing the many machinery inside of it into pieces. Blood began to run down from Kraven's lip, he looked up at Batman as he said, "It's over Kraven." Kraven got back to his feet and said, "No it ain't, I just need a hunting party…" Kraven lept off the rooftop and into the sewers below. Batman, dived down into that same sewer drain, but once he made it down there, Kraven was long gone…
"How was Kraven in Gotham? Why did he give up hunting Peter, he never gives up on his prey?" Thought Batman in Crime Alley. Batman needed to get to the bottom of this, "What did he mean by a hunting party? He must be planning to bring more of his savage criminals into his city."
"Batman!" Said Gordon for the third time, Batman was lost in thought.
"What is it Jim?" Replied Batman.
"What happened here? Who was that?" Asked Jim impatiently.
"His name is Sergei Kravinoff, he's a hunter. He came here for me." Explained Batman.
"That explains why he did something so cliche as to be robbing a bank, he wanted your attention. The question is why?" Said Gordon. Batman turned and peered at the open sewer entrance and said, "I'm about to find out."
Meanwhile, Back in New York city, Peter Parker was busy getting ready for his day at school. He put his planner in his backpack, zipped up his school laptop and pushed his lunchbox into his backpack. He threw on his shirt and pants, he also made the preparations to put his Spidey suit in the bag as well, just in case. He ran downstairs, saying, "Morning Aunt May!" He thought it strange that Aunt May didn't respond so he check in Aunt May's room to see if she was there. When he entered her room, he could see the covers covering her body, her snow white hair poking out from the top. Peter let her rest and walked into the kitchen. He put two pieces of toast in the toaster and went into the bathroom. He took out his toothbrush from the cabinet and began brushing his teeth. Once he had finished, he walked out of the bathroom and made his way out the door, toast in hand. As he stepped outside, in front of him was a strange man in front of him, he had bright green hair, red lips and twisted smile and a bleached white skin. This was no circus clown he had ever seen, however all that really mattered was the person the clown held a gun to. The clown began to laugh hysterically, hand trembling with excitement. The person the clown held in his arm was none other than Aunt May…
"What is going on here?!" Said Peter, raising his hands above his head naturally.
"Hello Peter my boy! Just thought I might take your Aunt and you for a walk… Hahahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Joker laughed uncontrollably, gun in hand. Peter begin to sweat, he said, "Wha… What?! I don't under…" Said Peter
"Listen kid. Come with me or your aunty ain't gonna have a good day. Hahaha!"
Peter did as he said, he walked in front of the Joker with his gun pointed at Peter's back. They slowly walked down the street till they arrived at a black van. Three man walked out of the van and grabbed Peter and Aunt May throwing them in the back of the van and locking the door. The Joker got in the van along with his men, they began driving down the street. Peter didn't know what was happening, "Who was this freak of a clown? I just have to wait till I have my chance to take these horrifying thugs down." Thought Peter as he sat in the back of the van, tied to the safety handles.
After a few hours, they arrived at an abandoned warehouse near the coast of New York. Joker's thugs took Aunt May and Peter out of the car allowed them to sit on the pavement. The goons held machine guns to the two of them while the Joker stepped out the car.
"Jeez, the traffic in the city! It's atrocious!" Said the Joker as he approached Peter.
"Anyway, now time for the big show. You ready my boy?" Said the Joker as he held up his hands to show what stood before them. In front of Peter and Aunt May stood four people he's never met before. One was a short man with a long nose and umbrella, another was a nine four crocodile man, another was a green colored woman with vines and plants growing off of her and lastly there stood an assassin with one eye.
The Joker walked up to the first person an introduced him, "This here is penguin, you may have realized he's not really a penguin, that's because… Hey, wait a minute. That something you two have in common! Hahahaha!" Peter looked at Aunt May as she said, "What is he talking about Peter?"
"Oh, sorry to spill the beans Peter. I thought she knew about that spider problem of yours! Anyway, moving on to our next contestant. This one here is Killer Croc, he may look like a horrific beast on the outside but trust me, he loves people. Hahahahahahaha!" Said Joker. Killer Croc growled at Joker just after he spoke. Joker moved onto the next person without hesitation. "And this lovely lass is Ms Poison Ivy. Talk about a green thumb am I right?! Hahaha!"
Joker, being the only person who laughed, said, "Just a bunch of sticklers ey? Alright, Anyway, Last but not least. This here is Deathstroke, loves guns almost as much as I love playing cards!... No… nothing… eh off day I guess…"
Peter then said, "What do you want with us!?"
"I'm glad you asked that my dear boy." Answered the Joker. "We have been having some trouble taking down the Batman and so we decided to combine forces with some of your good friends and take you both down with one stone. A very clever idea if I do say so myself." Said the Joker.
"Now enough with the formalities. Mrs May, could you come with me please?" Says Joker, grabbing Aunt May by the arm.
"Don't touch her!" Said Peter, struggling to get free.
"Oh, You've got some fight in you my boy! I like that! But don't worry... She won't feel a thing. Hehehehehe!" Replied Joker.
The Joker grabbed Aunt May by the arm and pulled out his gun again. "Now, we'd like to end our little show, with a bang! Hahahaha!" Said Joker, placing the gun to Aunt May's head. Peter ripped out of his restraints and charged towards the Joker. As he did, Deathstroke began to fire at him while Clayface launched his massive arms towards him, like a missile. Peter was able to easily dodge the bullets but Clayface caught him off guard. Peter was thrown back several feet away from the gang of villains.
As Peter began to stand, his spider senses began to tingle, he could feel the Joker pulling the trigger. He could feel the bullet rushing out the barrel, he could feel it rush through Aunt May's skull, He could feel her last breath leave her… He was too late.
