Chapter 7: Batman's Interrogation

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. I'm glad all of you were so excited by my surprise appearance by Batman. When he shows up everything gets scary and Spiderman is no exception. I hope you like what I have planned I also have a mention of someone who will be showing up in the future. Please Review and Enjoy.

Spider-Man was looking in shock as Batman made his way towards him.

"W-What are you doing here Bats? I thought Gotham City was your stomping ground?" Spider-Man said trying to remain calm.

"Just because Gotham is full of lunatics doesn't mean I focus all my energy there. Villains come from all over." Batman said.

"And you came to me why?" Spider-Man asks.

"I make it a point to figure things out like for instance there's a web slinging, wall crawling, vigilante that many say is a menace." Batman said.

"Geez so much for cracking a smile. Look what they say is wrong I'm not a menace I'm just someone trying to do the right thing. You know be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man." Spider-Man said turning around about to leave.

"If you were smart you wouldn't turn your back on me and with your grades you have decent intelligence… Jaden Cooper." Batman said.

Record Scratch.

Spider-Man turns around to see Batman smirking at him. "Oh, great now you're smiling." Spider-Man takes off his mask to reveal his face. "How'd you even find out? What am I saying you're Batman you know everything." Jaden rolls his eyes.

"Exactly, nothing gets by me and I make it my business to know these things." Batman said.

"Dammit, you know I was actually having a pretty good day today I beat up the bad guy, made it to school on time, my calculus test today nailed it." Jaden said.

"You know what I find interesting, your webbing." Batman said pointing to his web shooters. "Tensile strength is off the charts. Who manufactured them? OSCORP, LEXCORP, Wayne Industries, or is Fury at it again?" Batman asks.

"Fury?" Jaden said not sure who that was.

"Who made those shooters?" Batman said getting him back on subject.

"I-I did." Jaden said.

"Does anyone else know about your identity?" Batman asks.

"No, no one else does." Jaden shakes his head.

"Not even your friends or your mother?" Batman adds.

"What are you crazy? She found out she would freak out and I-I can't put her through that and as for my friends: Miles, Kitty, Harry, MJ or Barbara I'd never put them in danger." Jaden said pacing back and forth.

"And the fighting criminals? You know this city is famous for a school of heroes." Batman said.

"Yeah I've fought alongside a few of them." Jaden said.

"Yet you're not in the school. Care to explain why? Do you not trust them? Or are you scared of something more?" Batman said making his way towards him.

"It's…c-complicated." Jaden said backing away until his back was too the edge.

"What's your deal Jaden? What are you?" Batman asks getting into interrogation mode.

Jaden looks to see he had no way to escape and a look of panic appears on his face.

"I want to hear for myself right now what in the world gets you up in the morning and makes you tell yourself that you want to be Spiderman. I want know why even though many call you a menace I should think differently." Batman said in a serious tone.

"Because…because I when I first had these powers I tried to use them for my personal gain and I messed up, big time. Look when you can do the things I can do, but you don't and then the bad things happen, they happen because of you. And I have to live with the mistake I made for the rest of my life because with great power comes great responsibility." Jaden said.

Batman looked at him and saw in his eyes he was telling the truth and the look on Jaden's face reminded him of a memory about a little boy who was crying over his dead parents in an alley.

"Those are wise words to live by, whoever told that must have been a good man." Batman said.

"My dad was the best." Jaden said looking away.

Batman nods his head and takes a step backwards. "Alright Spider-Man prove it to me."

"Prove what?" Jaden asks turning to him.

"Prove to me you are a hero and not a menace." Batman said in a serious tone.

Jaden just looks in surprise before nodding. Putting on his mask Spider-Man swung away before Batman decided to have a change of heart.

"Geez rude much?" A female voice said.

Turning around Batman saw a woman in a black top and shorts that showed off her stomach walk over to him she had long black hair, a purple mask, purple heels, a black cape and a crossbow strapped to her side. This was Huntress.

"I had to be sure." Batman said.

"So, you have to make him nearly cry to find out. Just because he's not yet enrolled in our old Alma Mater doesn't mean he's as bad as the psychos we throw away in Gotham. I thought you were a detective you're supposed to look into these things." Huntress said walking over.

"I did, kid has lots of potential." Batman said.

"So why the scare?" Huntress asks.

"So that he doesn't end up like me." Batman said.

"You know when the request came for you to come to Super Hero High you were hesitant at first too and did the whole lone wolf thing just like him, but I still remember whenever we were in trouble you came rushing to help." Huntress said.

"Which is why I need to keep an eye on him." Batman said.

"Aw you're such a cutie when you act like that." Huntress said batting her eyes at him.

"We've talked about this." Batman glares.

"If we followed the rules we wouldn't be the people we are today. Come on last one back to Gotham has to escort Joker to Arkham." She teases.

"You go ahead I just need to do one last thing." Batman said.

"Don't keep me waiting." She said running across the rooftops.

Meanwhile in Doc Ock's secret base he was going through multiple files when he brought up footage of Spider-Man's fights against Electro and the Beetle for Norman Osborn.

"Magnificent Otto he's exactly what I need to bring down all these Superheroes." Norman grins.

"Shouldn't we be worried? Those brats from Super Hero High keep trying to recruit him." Doc Ock asks.

"And each time Spider-Man has said no, besides you should focus on the task at hand. Once we figure Spider-Man's abilities. I'll market an army of Spider enhanced Super Soldiers. Waller is a fool to think Spider-Man would ever join that pathetic excuse of a facility she calls a school. I prefer him the way he is alone and vulnerable, when I'm done with him nobody will be my superior not Lex Luthor, not Bruce Wayne, not Fury, not even Superman himself." Norman grins.

"And soon he will be turned to our side." Doc Ock said.

"Exactly, now what's the status on bringing down Super Hero High?" Norman asks.

"I have already laid out the plans to eliminate the students starting with these six: Beast Boy, Hawkgirl, Cheetah, Catwoman, Vixen and Black Panther." Doc Ock said showing Black Panther, Beast Boy and 4 girls. One was dressed in a black leather suit, short black hair, and a whip, one had cheetah spots, long brown hair and a tail, one was dressed in orange, dark skin, black hair with a fanged necklace around her neck and one had wings growing out of her back, long black hair and a mace.

"What's so special about these ones?" Norman raises an eyebrow.

"They all are have something about them that's based off an animal and what better way to hunt an animal than with a hunter." Doc Ock said as a man entered the room.

Norman turns around to see a man with black hair, large mustache, orange jacket and large muscular body.

"Sergei Kravinoff, at your service." He said in a thick Russian accent.

"Very interesting I've heard you're quite the Hunter. People say there's not a living thing on Earth that you can't hunt." Norman said.

"You've heard correct Mr. Osborn." Kraven said.

"Let's see how you hunt these types of prey." Norman said pointing to the heroes. "Your pay will increase for each one you successfully defeat."

Kraven looks at all of them, but when his eyes landed on Black Panther he stopped in his tracks.

"The Black Panther of Wakanda, a Hunter's ultimate prize. You've got a deal." He grins.

Back at Jaden's House Jaden's hands were still shaking from his encounter with Batman. Looking over from the living room Maya Cooper was worried about her son.

"Jaden are you okay? Did something happen?" Maya asks.

"I just had a long day mom." Jaden sighs.

"Is that Zack boy still bullying you again? You know you can report him to the principal." She said.

"No, it's not Zack it's…something else." Jaden said.

Maya walks over and puts her hand on his shoulder.

"Jaden tell me what's bothering you. I want to help." She said.

"It's just someone questioned the things I do and now I'm wondering why I even do them in the first place." Jaden said.

"Jaden nobody is perfect, there will always be times when you doubt yourself and your abilities, but you keep going and do what you think is right." Maya said.

Jaden's hands stop shaking as a smile forms on his face.

"Thanks Mom." Jaden said. "I just wish dad was still here."

"Oh honey, so do I, but I know in my heart he wouldn't like to see you act like this. He loved you just as much as I do and whatever you have going on you'll be fine." She said giving her son a hug.

Jaden hugs her back before walking up to his room. On his desk he saw a package laying on his desk.

"Where'd this come from?" Jaden opens it to reveal a red device and note.

"This will give your web shooters an extra boost. I'm taking a chance on you, you better not waste it." Jaden read.

Looking out the window he sees a shadowy caped figure disappearing in the night. "Great now I have a member of the Justice League keeping an eye on me." He groans.

Jaden looks at the device and takes out his toolbox. Grabbing the device he attaches it to his web shooters. "Alright Batman, you want to play this sort of game well get ready because Spider-Man is gonna prove he does have what it takes to be a hero." Jaden said determined.
