The Bat and The Spider

A few hours later

Gotham's finest were clearing rumble as Comissioner Gordon inspected the crime scene. 'What happened here that caused all this damaged?' He thought as he walked through the place. Suddenly he heard a shout. "Comissioner we found somebody under the rubble!" Gordon quickly walked towards where everyone else was gathered. Suddenly the rubble moved by itself and out came Spider-man rubbing his hurt shoulder and some of his costume torn up. "Thought I'd never get out." He then turned to find himself surrounded by police officers. "Would you believe I didn't do this?" "Maybe if you can tell us who really did it." Gordon said as he stepped forward. "Really?" Spidey said as he looked at him in shock.

Gordon nodded and motioned for Spidey to follow him. He did so and he was led outside where Gordon stopped in front of an alley. "Okay you can start talking. First let's start with your name." Spidey shook his head and said "First you tell your friend to come on out. I know you're there." His reflecting eyegear looking into the alley. He could only stare in shock as what appeared to be a man dressed up like a bat from the darkness. On his chest was an emblem of a bat surrounded by a field of yellow.

"Listen Count Dracula, I already gave at the blood bank so don't try taking a bite out of me." Batman could only stare at him with a cold dark look that said 'Don't try being funny.' "Tough crowd tonight." "Well now as I was saying before who are you." "Spider-man, hero and/or criminal from New York City. The product of much controversy. So what brings you to Gotham City besides the bank robberies?" Batman asked as he watched Spidey shoot a web from his hand and hang himself upside down from a lamp post.

"Well I was moving here since most people seem to hate me in New York and also there were other superheroes who can do the job I can do with getting arrest warrants on themselves. I just found out about the robberies when I got here." Batman walked up to him and asked "Do you know who's commiting the robberies?" Spidey chuckled and said "Boy you're a take charge kind of bat guy aren't you." Batman grabbed Spidey's costume and growled "This is no time for jokes." Spidey grabbed the arm that clutched his costume and said "If you can't say something nice then be quiet?" He then removed his hand from Batman's arm. Batman resisited the urge to rubbed his arm. Even through the rubber padding he could feel the strong grip.

"Can you two stop fooling around so we can find out who is doing this?" Gordon asked as he grew impatient. "Four guys at least. I can describe three of them. A fourth stayed away in the shadows but from the sound of his voice he sounded like he was in a cheap gangster movie." "What about the ones you saw?" "One guy they called him Killer Croc and for good reason. He had green scales all over his body and rows of teeth. Now that I think about it I don't remember him having a nose. Looked like something out of a B-movie. The other two were my old buddies Shocker and Rhino. I'm sure you can get their criminal records somehow but right now I have to swing home now. Bye." Spidey then web-swinged out of there before anyone realized he said bye.
