The Bat and The Spider
As Batman watched Spider-man web-swing away he reached for a remote control and pressed a button. The batmobile came from around the corner stopped in front of him and Commissioner Gordon. "What do you think about our red and blue clad friend?" The commissioner asked asked as the black car opened up for it's owner. Batman got in and said "I don't know yet. But I intend to find out." The top closed and the car drove off.
As Batman drove he looked at a screen on the dashboard. On it was a layout of the city. Also there was a blinking light that kept moving around the screen. Finally it stopped at a what the computer described was a hotel. "Let's find out who you are Mister Spider-man." He said as he drove toward Spidey's location.
Meanwhile Peter had removed his costume not noticing the small bat transmitter placed in a tear and quickly jumped into the shower. When he turned off the water his spider sense went off. He put on his mask and ran into the bedroom and saw that it was empty and dark yet his spider sense was still going off. It was directing him to a huge shadow in the far corner. He raised his right hand and clenched his middle and ring fingers to his palm suddenly a webline shot at the shadow and snagged something. "It's not nice to sneak up on people Count Dracula." Peter said with a bit of anger in his voice.
Out of the shadows Batman revealed himself with his right hand held in front of him, attached to it was Peter's webline. "Most impressive. How…" "The gift of having a built in radar. Now why…" "Just wanting to know what side you're on." Peter scoffed and said "You read that shit from the Bugle too? Damnit the lie-spewing bastard has marred my rep for life." Peter then leapt to the ceiling and crouched on it. "I should just go back to New York and break his damn jaw." He mumbled."Actually I don't read tabloids." Batman said as he strained his neck. "Listen just don't do any bad things in my city and I won't be back." "Oh I'm so scared." "You should be." Batman then disappeared through the window. "Hey wait a minute …" Peter had started to say but decided to not finish the sentence. 'How the hell did he find me?'
Meanwhile in a warehouse at the docks Shocker, Rhino, and Killer Croc were sitting around a table playing poker while discussing tonight. "So you think Spiderman's worm food?" "Of course. Soon Batman's gonna join him." "I heard he's inhuman." "I heard he can fly." "I hear he can disappear."
"And I hear youse guys yakking about some clown in a costume. You just whacked that so-called Spider-man with no problems. Batman will be no problem what so ever. So what if he can disappear and fly. Once we face him we'll see if he can die. Ha ha ha! No if youse mugs don't mind I'm going to bed" Their boss said as he left the room.
