6: 55 P.M
Spidey's H.Q
"WE JUST LOST OUR TEAM'S FLYER," yelled a furious Spider-Man as he paced the floor in his lighting-singed suit trying to think of a plan.
"Yeah so," said Captain America in a unconcerned tone as he sat in a chair polishing his shield and applying first aid to the cuts and bruises from Robin's attacks.
"SO," exclaimed Spider-Man. "Now that cross-dressing Batman wannabe has the freedom to launch an aerial assault! All because Sparky got himself turned into a spark-cicle!" Cap merely shrugged.
"A good soldier doesn't need fancy sky tricks to win a war," he replied.
"Did you just call an aerial assault 'fancy sky tricks'," sighed Spider-Man with a face-palm.
7:20 P.M.
Robin's H.Q
"Everyone rested up," asked Robin staring out of the window of her H.Q.
"Yeah," said Storm. "I'm fine I suppose."
"Feelin' as fit as a fiddle oh dark and mysterious one," remarked Flash in his usual overly confident tone.
"Good," said Robin with a nod. "Now about the new strategy. One word... sewers. Oh and Flash, we need to talk."
7:35 P.M
Times Square
"They're killing us out here Cap," yelled Spider-man as he barely dodged a Robin-rang. We've been retreating since the battle alarm rang, though Spider-Man. But birdbrain should've hit us with an aerial assault by now..Or at least used her strength in numbers. What's she- ZZING! As his spider-sense went off, Spider-Man flipped and dodged a charging Flash. "Any suggestions?"
"Not really spider," replied Cap as he barely blocked Robin's jabs and kicks with his shield.
"Just a little bit more you two," said Robin to Cap with a smile. "And I'll have you all to myself."
SMACK! Flash's sends Spider-Man flying into the centre of Times Square with a kick to the ribcage.
"Heh," Flash smirked as he walked up to a slowly standing Spider-Man. "Your 'spidey sense' only helps so much. I'm still like fifteen times faster than you."
"If you're so much faster," quipped Spider-Man. "Then why haven't you taken me out yet?"
"Dude," began Flash with confidence. "There's this thing called strategy. Maybe you've heard of it? Trust me, we've got you right where we want you." Hearing this, Peter couldn't help but smirk under his mask.
"Cap," he yelled, "They're planning something, stay away from the centre of the square!" A surprised Flash turned to Robin and gave her an apologetic glace that was met with an icy stare.
Damn it, thought Robin. "Well then ," she said dodging a punch from Cap. "Looks like I'm going to have to continue playtime downstairs."
"I don't think so, " replied Cap. He attempted to give Robin a leg sweep, but Robin leaped into the air and somersaulted over his head. She landed behind him, and before he could react, grabbed his head, and flung him into Spider-Man. "Stormy, " she yelled into the sky, "Take them under now!" Suddenly, and earthquake erupted in Times Square. and cast Spider-Man and Captain America into the NYC sewer system.
"Ow, " moaned Spider-Man as he emerged from a pile of rubble and found himself in the sewers. He looked up and found that in the earthquake, Storm block the hole. He stood up and examined his reflection in the dimly lit sewer water. "I'm probably gonna need a new costume before the day's over... Cap," he yelled "you there?"
"Yeah I'm here," said Cap as he emerged from a separate pile of rubble. "A little beaten up but-" In the blink of an eye, Robin emerged from one of the sewer's many shadows and tackled Cap into a different sewer area.
"CAP," screamed Spider-Man. "HANG ON!" Quickly gathering his strength, Spider-Man sprinted down the sewer line headed toward where Bap was taken but before he could get far, a red fist knocks him to the ground.
"Not so fast bug boy," said Flash with a smirk as he adjusted his glove, "you have a date with a couple of exterminators."
"Weird," said Spidey rising to his feet and taking a fighting stance. "I only see one of you."
"Hi," said Storm, smirking as she emerged from the shadows. "I' m really sorry about this."
