As the sun rises above the New York skyline, the Kingpin and Black Mask sit around a glimmering swimming pool on the roof of one of New York's tallest buildings. Wilson Fisk and Roman Sionis are relaxing in pool chairs, each taking great joy from their imported Scotch and the scantily clad women playing in the pool. "Any word from the Sinister Six?" Sionis asks. Fisk simply shrugs. "Not yet, but I doubt we'll have to wait much longer. With the amount we offered for Spider-Man's head, there's no way they'll wait to deliver. Soon I'll have that web-slinger stuffed and mounted on my wall." "And then it will be Batman's turn." Sionis grins devilishly underneath his mask. "I can hardly wait to see that blood-soaked cowl presented to me." "It will be a good day." Fisk agrees, raising his glass. "Perhaps I'll even throw them some extra money to kill Daredevil. With the Sinister Six in our employ, we could start exporting them to kill crime-fighters all across the country." Sionis chuckles loudly. "We'll go down in history as the enterprising partnership that brought an end to the dark age of spandex and ruined profits." "Yeeeeah, so bad news about that." Fisk and Sionis sit there in shock as Spider-Man swings over and perches himself onto one of the stone archways that cornered the pool. The women in the pool scream and quickly scramble out of it, rushing for the doorway at the corner of the roof. "Spider-Man!" Kingpin snarls as he jumps to his feet and grabs his walking stick. He clenches it so tight that the handle begins to bend. "How can you possibly be alive?!" The wall-crawler just shrugs. "I had some help." "Hello, Roman." Sionis's eyes widen underneath his mask as he hears the voice behind him. He turns and reaches his hand beneath his jacket for his revolver, but Batman quickly grabs him. He lifts him above his head, throws him across the roof and into the pool. Fisk gasps at the sight and lashes out, trying to smash Batman over the head with his walking stick; but a strand of webbing sticks to the stick and wretches it out of Fisk's hand. Spider-Man jumps off the arc, spirals in the air and comes down with both feet right on Fisk's shoulders, knocking him to the ground. The web-slinger then casually tosses the walking stick off the roof. "Too slow!" Fisk growls and gets back up. He tries to grab Spider-Man, only to receive a punch to the face by Batman. Fisk stumbles back and trips on a line of webbing that was sprayed between two archways. He falls backward and lands in the pool with a loud splash. Spider-Man and Batman stand at the edge of the pool, glaring down at the two water-logged mob bosses. "You two did a great job on this plan. I mean, really, you should be proud – you've helped me and Batman become friends. Just imagine how good that's going to be for your business?" Spider-Man chuckles. "The Sinister Six are on their way to Riker's Island as we speak." Batman says. A great gust of wind blows across the rooftop as several police helicopters come into view, hovering above the skyscraper. "And you'll be joining them."
"I heard that the police found some hidden files on Fisk's computer that prove he was in cahoots with Sionis to hire the Sinister Six. I'm guessing you helped with that?" Spider-Man asks Batman. The hours had passed and while Spider-Man had swung away the moment the cops arrived, Batman had remained at the penthouse to tell them everything. Now the Dark Knight is perched on the edge of a rooftop, scanning Times Square below. The sun is setting on the horizon. "I did." Batman replies. "It may not keep Fisk in jail for long, though. He has a lot of money and a wide reach." Spider-Man shrugs as he walks and sits on the edge of the roof next to Batman. "True, but at least we did some good today." "We did." Batman agrees. "I was wrong about you. You did extremely well today." "Thanks, Bats." Spider-Man says as he slips his hands behind his head. Batman then stands up and turns around, slowly making his way across the rooftop. "I'll be leaving New York soon. Sionis is in jail so I have no reason to be here." Spider-Man walks over to the Dark Knight. "I hope this isn't the last time we meet. I also hope what I said to Fisk and Sionis is true. Friends?" Spider-Man says as he extends a hand. Batman turns towards him; his eyes narrowed into slits. "I don't make friends, Spider-Man." He then extends his hand and takes Spidey's, shaking it firmly. "But I do count you as an ally." "Well that's something anyway." Spider-Man chuckles. He then holds up a camera with his other hand. "By the way, mind if I get a picture of the two of us? It's for a… thing." Batman crosses his arms. "I don't do scrapbooks." "No, it's not a for a scrapbook." Spider-Man sighs, shaking his head and runs his hand over the top of his mask. "It's kind of a long story, but… oh you gotta be kidding me." As the web-slinger looks up, he realizes he's alone on the rooftop. Batman had seemingly vanished into thin air. Spider-Man just sighs and shrugs his shoulders. Well, I better go see how MJ is holding up. Spider-Man turns and runs for the edge of the roof and leaps off, sailing through the air for several seconds before launching a line of webbing and swings away through the city.
