Epilogue
"I appreciate everyone coming, I figured it would be better to do this here, rather than have it under some more volatile situations." Bullock said
"That's true, this is something I guess I should do than have it under the cover of gunfire and bad guys ready to rip me apart." Spider-man said
"You'll be surprised how often that can happen." Batman said
The three of them stood on the roof of Bullock's apartment. It was night as it always will be when he has his meetings. Tonight's was going to be different. He knew as did Spider-man that it would be best to get to know the local crimefighter. As to prevent misunderstanding and unnecessary violence.
"I've got to ask you something, Bats?" Spidey pointed to the belt. "How are you able to get those toys?"
"Trade secret" Batman said
"Uh-huh"
"So do you think you two will be doing anything together any time soon?" Bullock asked
"I don't think so." Spidey said to them. "I think the fact is we have two ways of going about duties. Sure I figure will be getting together time to time fighting a larger evil neither of us can take. But in the meantime I need to get more used to this city."
"In time," Batman said. "In time."
"I just wanted to let you know." Bullock said to Spider-man. "That you have me in case you need someone on the force to help you. Understand I've got limitations but I'll do what I can. Plus I can get Batman's help if need be."
"I appreciate that Captain, very much so. But the fact is I need sometime alone and besides I don't know if cops should have multi-superhero love triangles?"
"All right it's your decision and there are over 60,000 cops on the force. Maybe you'll find your own police connection."
"Maybe I will Bullock, maybe I will."
"What are you going to do about Kellison?" Batman asked
"Don't worry about it, I'll come up with something to satisfy him. Besides rumor is that he's going to resign and run in the city council race a few months from now."
"Back to the status-quo." Spider-man said
"I don't think you can say that." Bullock said. "For the fact is this is Gotham and nothing and I mean nothing can be called the status-quo. Sure maybe in Metropolis but not here."
"I'm starting to like this town already." Spider-man said joyfully
"Then check out Robinson Park sometime, it's quite nice."
"I will"
"Good"
"Now guys it's been grate meeting you but I need to get going so toodles." Spider-man then walked over to the ledge looked out into the city that lay before him. He studied the shining towers and darkened streets. Then he paused for that one mili-second before he reached out and fired a web-line. He then leaned back and then let the forces of physics and his own power take him through the streets of Gotham.
Batman and Bullock watched. Batman smirked
"I can't believe it but's he got me beat in that."
"Well look at this way he doesn't have the fancy plane nor large resources to aid him in this quest."
Batman looked at him. "How rich do you think I am?"
"That depends on your definition of 'rich'."
Batman smiled. "I think the kid is rubbing of on you."
"No that's one of the effects of being a cop. The humor just gets stranger and filthier as time goes on."
"Funny, I don't see us doing a comedy show."
"Yeah besides we'd fight on who gets top billing."
Batman once again smirked, he then turned his head towards the city.
"I see you need to get going."
Batman nodded.
"See you at there and be careful there's some crazy s&^* out there."
"Don't I know it."
Batman went over to the same ledge where Spider-man leapt. He stood there and then unfurled his wings. Then with just a slight pause he jumped and went back into battle on war for Gotham. As he flew through the city, he knew there was someone else out there with similar goals. He'd imagined that he and Spider-man would find themselves in situations that would require each others help. It was inevitable. And despite that, he looked forward to something like that with interest. For this war needed allies. At least tonight he knew he had one more.
The End
