Bat Signal
Rooftop Of Quahog's Police Headquarters

Joe, Mayor West, Peter, and Brian were heading up toward the roof of the Police Headquarters. Peter is now sporting a yellow and red Robin-esque superheroes outfit, complete with mask and cape.

"You're lucky, my faithful new sidekick. My old chum had a spare outfit he never got to wear," Mayor West says to Peter.

"Oh wow, and it fits perfectly too. Geez, the old Robin must have really let himself go during his later years," Peter comments, getting cozy in his new outfit.

"So tell me again, Batman, why are we heading up to the roof?" Joe questions, as Brian, who seems to be struggling a lot, was carrying him up the stairs on his back.

"You know…I have no idea…why are we heading up toward the roof?" Mayor West questions.

"You'll see," Peter says, opening the door leading outside to the rooftop.

Everyone stops and gazes at the giant strobe light sitting in the middle of the rooftop.

"What the…where did this come from?" Joe questions, raising an eyebrow. Brian finally got Joe out in the open, when he finally collapses from exhaustion.

"Isn't it neat? It's a Bat-Signal! I ordered it off of eBay last year but never used it," Peter says, walking up to it and showing it to the others.

"Excellent. With this, the Police Station will be able to signal me whenever that crook strikes again. Then we'll zoom into action and bag that baddie in no time," Mayor West contemplates out loud.

"Amazing…" Joe says in awe.

"See? Aren't I the resourceful one?" Peter responds slyly to Joe

"Actually, I meant amazing in the sense of 'how the hell can you afford these things?" Joe corrects.

Brian got up and walks over toward the others. He got up onto the light and looks down at its symbol.

"Um. Peter, about this Bat Signal…why does it have a picture of a spider on it?" Brian questions.

"What are you talking about, Brian?" Peter says, flipping on the device. Everyone looks up toward the sky to see the picture of a spider shining into the night sky instead of that of a bat. "Oh…that's what you mean…uh oh…heheheheh…" Peter laughed nervously.

Suddenly out of nowhere, Spider-Man swings down from above and lands in front of everyone.

"What seems to be the problem?" Spider-Man asks the group.

"Oh…um…well…you see, it was kinda a false alarm…" Peter responds a bit hesitantly.

"Oh. Just perfect. I get called out from my dinner date with Mary Jane, ready to propose to her, all for a false alarm. Nice going, fatass," Spider-Man says in a frustrated tone, punching out Peter before swinging away from vicinity.

"Well…I didn't see that coming…" Brian says, rolling his eyes.

"Well fellas, how about I just call you when we receive more information on this criminal?" Joe says to the group.

"Good idea. I need to make a trip to the Bat Cave to stock up on supplies anyway," Mayor West says. "To the Bat Cave!"

Mayor West runs off toward the edge of the building and jumps, hoping to land in his Bat Mobile, but completely forgets to call it toward their location, and crash lands on top of Peter's car instead.

"Idiots…all of you..." Brian mutters before walking away from the area.
