Chapter 1:

Spider-Man:

He jumped straight up shooting a web to the nearest building and swinging to arc away. There were seven of them which was all he was able to observe before his spider-sense started sounding off - LOUD! The line went slack…

Young Justice:

"Its Black Spider, Artemis, take out his line," Kaldur ordered through M'gann's telepathic link.

"Where did he come from?" Robin

"Got'em." Artemis. Her arrow went and hit its mark cutting the line Black Spider was holding onto.

Spider-Man:

He let go of the now useless web-line and let himself fall. Was that an arrow! He shot another line regaining control and turned himself to see his attackers. The freaks were dressed like they were ready to go to comic-con or something…"Like I should talk," he said to himself. The blond in green was knocking another arrow - was that the right word, knocking or notching? Firing another line he changed direction.

Young Justice:

"In coming!" Wally yelled.

Black Spider came in fast and before anyone could react Artemis was skidding to plow into the roof mounted air vent. Low to the ground Black Spider laughed, "Did anyone not warn you shooting arrows was dangerous."

Spider-Man:

He let go of the line letting his momentum take him straight to the blond girl with the arrows. POW, his outstretched feet hit her. But not too hard Peter hoped.

He gave his quip then spider-sense went off again.

Young Justice:

Agualad dived for Black Spider but missed as the Assassin side-stepped and swung around grabbing Kaldur by the belt and redirecting him into the floor. "Dude, you got webbed feet!"

Spider-Man:

He dived to the right after dropping webbed feet guy and then came up on the edge of the roof. Spider-sense wasn't turning off: Two down, five to go…whoa ah! He was rising from the ground. "What they heck, when did the Wizard get here?" A tall guy with a black shirt and a red S was coming at him. "This will hurt."

POW! He was right. Peter got the sense he was falling again. Man that guy hit hard…like really hard…spider-sense shut up please, I know I'm falling…"FALLING!"

His hands went out and clung to the wall. Catching himself and crouching he looked back up.

Young Justice:

"Where did he go?" Robin

"Sorry, I couldn't hold him after Superboy hit him," Mrs. Martian

"I didn't hit him that hard." Superboy

They all ran to the side looking over hoping that Black Spider wasn't splat on the pavement. He was an assassin and a member of the league of shadows but still splat was a ugly way to go.

"Did anyone notice that the costume was kind of different?" Robin

"Now that you mention it.." Rocket

"Hey, what are we looking at?" everyone turned to their left where Black Spider in his new Red and Blue costume was looking down over the edge with them. "Yah, hi!" Superboy staggered back as a grey/white sludge slatted him in the face blinding him. Black Spider gave two gut punches, wrapped him in more of the goop and threw him over the edge. "Your turn! Hang around a bit."

"SUPERBOY!" Megan lost control of the link breaking their silent communications. She flew over the edge to catch him. Robin, Rocket and Kid Flash were left. "Take him, KF." Robin said pulling a batarang from his utility belt.

Wally charged the villain faster than anyone would have seen accept he missed. Spider leapt up and rolled over Wally who had to catch himself before he fell off the roof. "Speedy Gonzales, Andale, Andale, Arriba!"

Robin threw his batarang at Spider's feet but before it let its sleep gas loose he was up in the air and firing a web at HIM. Robin dived left then right pulling out his twin sticks and spinning them around wrapping up the next line of what he guessed were webs.

His opponent leapt at him and Robin wasn't able to avoid it so he turned it into a role which was supposed to end with him on top but Black Spider somehow twisted it and was looking right down at him with his fist raised back ready to punch Robin's lights out…"Hey you're just a kid…"

Robin used that moment of hesitation and kicked out landing a perfect kick right above Black Spider's groin. "OH!" The spider rolled off clutching his lower half. "Okay, I got it…that was unprofessional of me…age discrimination I'm a victim too."

Robin got clear and spun back with a hook kick which the Spider blocked then fell back rubbing his arm vigorously, "Owowow." They would have gone on but Spider somersaulted back and then jumped off the roof as Rocket started shooting her beams at him.

"I don't think this is Black Spider," he said but at this point no on was listening.

Rocket charged up and was airborne. Boom, Boom, boom, her blasts kept missing as the Spider jumped and bounced then was off the room moving to another one yelling, "Come on and catch me, your aim stinks worse than Speedy's."

Robin ran to Artemis and Aqualad. "Are you two alright?"

"Yah, but when I get my hands on that guy he won't be," Artemis said getting her bow.

Spider-Man:

He dogged blasts as the Nova wana-be kept firing them at him. Sparing a look behind him he noticed how annoyed she looked. Yah, I have that affect on the lovely ladies. A blast hit the ground right where he had been a split second ago putting him back out of his head and into reality. Back flipping he landed, "Okay, you shoot beams, I get it, but can you surrender quietly."

"AHHH!" the girl screamed and shot both her hands off at the same time. The minor explosion sent Peter rolling and took out two of the struts that were holding up a old fashioned water towers that the city still kept for some public safety reason or another. Staying down he turned to see the rocket girl coming in close to finish him off. "One question before you blow me away. Is your power based on electricity?" The girl gave him a confused look, "taking that as a no." He kicked with all his strength at one more of the supports. Its weight caused it to tip and the dirty city water contents splashed out over Rocket-Girl.

"Wow, you look angry." Spider-Man said. "Something tells me that's bad." His spider sense was going off louder again but it hadn't stopped this whole time so he kept his attention on the threat right in front of it. Epic Fail. "

"ARAHH!" The roar of rage was what saved Spidey before being flatted by a pair of size 12 combat boots. The entire building shook as S landed creating a creator. Spidey was surprised to see he didn't go through the roof . Gulp, "Okay, now I'm scared."

S charged Spider-Man smashing his fist into the ground right where Peter had been but missed. He swung wide and missed again. More of the webs coated him, but before anything could happen he ripped them off. And kept coming after Spider-Man. "Are - you any relation to - the Hulk." S got a single hit that hurt but did more to get Spidey clear as he flew back. He jumped up to get clear of the raging psycho trying to tare his arms off.

He felt the air change as something came in from above. Without looking Spider-Man jumped up to the top of the toppled water tower. "I mean come on, how do you guys expect to beat me?" From his vantage he saw webed foot drop from some kind of pink ship, arrow girl right behind him. S was move to get behind him and the Rocket chick was airborne again. "Good answer."

Webbed Foot pulled hilt like things from his back and to Spidey's amazement the water he had dosed Rocket Girl in moved and combined. "Oh that can't be good." He man now had a whip and a sword made out of water. "Dang it!" He flipped back avoiding the water whip but out of nowhere the PrePubesit Ninja showed up. Spidey spun to avoid him but felt the kid tap his back. That wasn't a good going Spidey, glad to meet ya tap. Reaching back he pulled a disk free and looked at it in his hand. A timer went, :03, 02, 01...BOOM!

A combination of gas and kinetic energy sent Spider-Man back and he fell, on hit butt. His head was feeling weird.

Young Justice:

"I got him, that gas should put him out for a few minutes." Rob said.

"Good work, Robin," Aqualad said moving in. "I'll alert the league."

"What was that light right before." M'gann asked decloaking.

"Not sure," Kaldur admitted. "We'll have to find that out as well." Black Spider was still laying sprawled on the ground. "Red Tornado, this is Aqualad we've capture…"

"So sorry but none of that sounded good to me." Black Spider said from the ground revealing that he was still conscious. A web like line shot from his hand and he pulled. Kaldur and Robin narrowly avoided a piece of the water tower swing at them.

Black Spider was back up and punched Superboy in the face sending the superman clone back two steps. He then clutched the fist, "OW, Bad idea."

Spider-Man:

S's jaw was made of steel or something. Maybe he was an android. It didn't matter. Spider-Man jumped off the edge and stuck to the side of the building 20 ft below. He needed to catch his breath. This way he hopped archery girl wouldn't be able to shoot at him. But Rocket would be another issue.

His hand was throbbing and his balance still felt off. "Who are these guys?"

Spider-Sense told him to look down which he did just in time to see a red and yellow blur smack him…he lost hold and felt two feet before clinging to the wall again. "Okay, maybe I bit off more than I can chew."

Young Justice:

Kid-Flash ran up the side of the building giving a good punch in to Black Spider before making it to the top. "Okay, we got him on the ropes. Now what?"

"Robin, Rocket go over the side."

"Got'cha" Rocket was over and Robin shot a line of his own and repelled over the side.

Rocket went wide and saw her target sticking to the side of the wall. "You're going down Bug Boy." Shot her blats off.

With a mix of acrobatically impossible skips and flips all while vertical to the ground Spider shot back, "Spiders are arachnids, different category all together. You're such a girl."

"What!" She fired again.

Robin tied off his line then swung another mini explosive in hand but Spider must of seen him or something because the assassin turned just in time to catch Robin's arm and send the small device flying away. "Nice try Dude but I like to think I'm a fast learner." Then he jumped wripping Robin's free of his line to land another 3 feet down. "And I'm the only wall crawler here." He held Robin like a human shield between him and Rocket. Black Spider grabbed Robin's utility belt and with one hand crushed the buckle breaking it free. "Oh no, not god," Robin said as the belt started to beep. Spider threw the belt up and away then spun around shielding Robin from the flash of several minor explosives and other gadgets going off. "What the heck were you packing?"

Robin didn't get a chance to answer because his mouth was sealed shut and Spider fell away leaving him stuck to the side of the wall.

Spider-Man:

He had to end this. It was getting harder to move…more like slower like he was drunk or imagined being drunk would be. And if any more of these looney toons had stuff like what Ninja kit did than he needed to get out as painful as it was to admit, he couldn't win this.

"I need some distance." Rocket Girl was coming in again. He jumped again but this time at her instead of away. They collided butting heads and free fell. Spider-Man, used to this kind of beat down recovered and holding the girl under his arm shot a line saving them from being pancaked on the cement below. He felt her wake up and charge up…without knowing what else to call it. Letting go of his line he twisted till he was riding on her back.

"What the hell?" She said.

"I know, I don't have any good jokes at this moment either." he grabbed her head and pointed it down. Something he learned from fighting vulture, flying guys always have to follow where their heads point. At least when they are flying and not like hovering. Hovering was a different thing.

And like the rule Rocket Girl propelled them the direction Spider-Man pointed her head, DOWN.

Young Justice:

"AHH!" Rocket screamed. Her hands shout out to protect herself but before hitting the ground she was yanked up and went sky way. Another moment before she was in control of her flight and then she realized, her passenger wasn't on her back anymore.

"Where did he go?"

The Bio-Ship pulled up along side her. The hole opened and Aqualad came out looking around. They stared at one another and then back at the ground and surrounding buildings. Black Spider, if it had been Black Spider was gone.

NOTE:

Okay, this was something I put together in about 2 hours. Saw the last episode of Young Justice and this popped into my mind. I think I will continue with it but I got several other projects that need my attention, one of which is also a spider-man crossover.

I tried to get all the Young Justice guys a moment but it was hard, and the fight started to drag on. I think I gave Spidey enough of a hard time to do the team justice but I'm not sure. This was not meant to be Spider-Man all powerful etc. I wanted to show off as many strengths as possible but had to give a bit of the edge to Spider-Man, first because he has a bunch of cool abilities and If they beat him senseless than there would be few ways to continue the story. But I think I balance that out with Spider-Man swallowing his pride and running instead of the Team. The idea was that even though one on one in a situation that favors heights and closed spaces, Spider-Man was a opponent to be reckoned with but despite that against the overwhelming powers of Superboy, Kaldur, M'gann, and Rocket, with Robin's wits and Airtimes' arrows he had little chance of winning unless he started doing something drastic.
