Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:
treyalexander63917: Yeah but it'll go a bit differently since Spider-man will be there to annoy- I mean fight Gotham and all that
Harbinger of Kaos: Yeah, Natasha is a pretty complicated woman, and I am surprised that there aren't many stories with either of those women on this site
The Authverlord-X: Yes
Karlos1234ify: Oh he's going to troll the hell out of Batman
kitsune of darkfire: You aren't wrong, people who rival Batman and surpass half the Justice League in raw power alone have tried to take on Spider-man and lost
Jestalnaker94000: Yeah that's the beauty of it, they dislike each other now but eventually form a strong bond of friendship. As for what I think of Amadeus Cho as Hulk and Riri Williams being Iron Lady or whatever…I think they should have made Skarr the Hulk of the ANAD Marvel, makes a helluva a lot more sense since he's the man's son and all and he's a gray half human half alien child, can't get much more diverse than that really, and Riri I barely know anything about her since I don't read Iron Man comics
gunman: Yeah he's still recovering from his fight from Doomsday and the suit itself as well. And Peter will be staying in Gotham and taking the sort of day shift like you mentioned, but he'll also operate at night to since there isn't really anything to keep him distracted at the moment aside from waiting for the mysterious person that Mephisto wants to show up

"You had one job!" Batman growled at Cyborg and Aquaman as they and the rest of the Justice League were in the monitor womb of the Watchtower
"Well in our defense, Flash should have been able to stop him" Cyborg said pointed towards the scarlet speedster
"Hey how was I supposed to know that he was in the middle of a jail break? I just came up to relieve Aquaman for monitor duty" Flash said
Batman then turned towards the Flash "The fact he was in his suit and near the teleporter should have clued you in that he was trying to possibly escape!"
It was then that Wonder Woman stepped forward "Batman I think your making this a far greater issue than it really is"
Batman than turned towards her with a glare that didn't so much as faze her "And I think your letting your school girl crush for him blind you to the possible issues of him running around in our world unsupervised could bring"
"I've been running around here without any of you knowing for years and nothing bad ever happened" Superman said with a raised brow "Look Batman I get it, you don't like someone you know next to nothing about running around, in your own city no less, but I think you're being a little unreasonable. Besides you make it sound like he's an adrenaline junky looking for trouble"
"Superman's right Bruce" Diana nodded "He's been there for what an hour? How much trouble can he get in?"
…
A lone armored truck was racing down a deserted road out by the docks. In the cab were three terrified men, one armed with a shot gun.
The one driving spoke first "Anyone see him?"
"No" the man in the center seat said as he looked out the windshield "I think…I think we're good!"
It was then that Spider-man landed on the hood of the truck with his glowing lenses narrowed
"No…you punks are anything but good!" he growled out before shooting several web lines out from each wrist on to some of the passing shipping containers and attaching them to the hood of the truck before covering the windshield in a thick coating of web fluid and shooting off the vehicle
The driver panicked and tried to hit the brakes but the web lines went taught before he could and caused the truck to lurch forward and flip in midair before landing on its back. The only reason the men didn't go flying out the windshield was because of their seat belts that barely was able to hold them. And the reason they were cut by any glaas from the windsheild was because the webbing absorbed the impact of the truck and kept it from shattering, the ones on the doors however, not so much
"Gah shit I think I have glass in my ear!" the man with the shot gun said as he tried to get out of the truck before the door next to him was torn off and a black armored hand grabbed the screaming man and tore him out
"Freddy!" the driver yelled before his door was torn off and a black tendril wrapped around his torso and ripped him out in a similar fashion
"Oh god, oh god, oh god" the final man said in terror as he looked both ways to make sure he wasn't grabbed by anything before the web covered windshield was torn off and he was greeted to the sight of a crouching black armored figure with a glowing white spider in his chest
"Hey, I know I'm asking a lot right now but could you maybe pass out in fear- oh wait you just did. Never mind!" Peter said with a grin as he tore the now passed out man from the truck and carried him over to the other two passed out and webbed up men
"Thanks for the fun time guys, so same time whenever you get out of prison and decide to do this kind of thing again?" Peter said as he webbed up the men and had his suit make a call to the GCPD to come pick them up
He made sure to check the cargo they were holding, it was a bunch of counterfeit toys with weapons smuggled in them, before he made his way to the nearest rooftop and kept an eye on the scene until the police arrived
…
Half an hour later Peter was crouched on a rooftop that over looked the area known as Crime Alley "Well that was fun, but the night's coming to an end, so that means I have one more crime to bust. Maybe I can even take on one of Batman's rouges and beat them. That's sure to drive him up the wall!"
Peter quickly scanned through the caped crusader's rouges gallery that his suit was able to 'borrow' from the Justice League's computer system and from the GCPD's database and he had to admit the man's villains rivaled his own in a lot of cases. Granted almost all of them were just plain old bat shit insane but they made up for it in brutality and insanity. Peter also couldn't help but notice that quite a few of Batman's villains were very similar to his, like how Joker was like Carnage in that they like untold slaughter and find some sort of sick amusement out of it, or Man-Bat was like the Lizard in that he was just a scientist with a rather tragic disability that he was trying to fix, not for just him but millions everywhere but only ended up turning into a animal monster human hybrid thing
"Meh, must be a coincidence" Peter shrugged as he continued to scan the area until he heard the sound of an alarm going off not too far from his current location
Peter grinned underneath his helmet "Show time!"
He shot a web line out and quickly swung off towards the sound of what was likely a crime in progress. It didn't take him long to come across a bank that was being robbed
"Gasp! A bank robbery?! That's like my favorite type of crime!" Peter gushed as he quickly scanned the building for any signs of the robbers
He made out two guys hanging around out front who were both armed with small SMG's and wore what looked like a Nixon mask with the left half of the mask burned or scarred. It didn't take Peter long to realize that these men were part of the infamous Two Face's gang. A man that had a rather unhealthy obsession with duality and 'chance'
"Wonder if he flips the coin to decide if he should go to the bathroom or not" Peter said to himself as he cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders before he shot off towards the two armed men and landed before them in a crouch
The two men were taken back by his arrival and before either could react Peter had shot a web line at each man's chest and pulled them towards him. He quickly extended both fists and smashed them both in the face, knocking them out with a satisfying crack
Peter quickly covered each man in a thick cover of web fluid before turning to the bank's broken down door "Well boys, you were fun. Let's see if your boss and the rest of his goons can make my night"
Meanwhile inside the bank, Two Face was watching his men clean out the vault they blew open earlier. He was flipping his coin absent mindedly as he scanned the dark corners and ceiling of the bank, seeing if Batman had shown up yet
"Boss were almost done here" one of the thugs said as he was dragging a heavy bag of money towards the pule they had set up
"Good, hurry it up!" Two Face growled "I want to be gone before the Bat or the cops show up"
"On it boss" the thug nodded and quickly ran past another thug dragging a bag of money to fetch more inside the vault
Two Face looked over at the twelve bags that held a collective amount of almost thirty million dollars with a dark grin "Too easy…"
"I know right? It's like the Batman had finally given into his pity for you and said 'Yeah I think I'll give this to him, with those looks he needs a win'" a voice said from behind the former DA of Gotham
Two Face quickly turned around to see a man in a black armored suit with a large glowing white spider on his chest. He narrowed his eyes at the man as he backed away and drew one of his pistols and aimed it at the man
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
Spider-man quirked his head to the side as an idea began to form in his head "Tell you what gruesome Twosome, why don't we flip a coin to decide. Heads I tell you, tails I don't"
Two face growled at the man as his men came running out, their guns trained on the unknown man and surrounded him. Spider-man didn't take his eyes away from Two Face the whole time
"Well Harvey, you gonna flip that coin or do you want me to?"
Two Face growled as he looked at his coin before he flipped it in the air, it was than that Peter made his move
He shot a web ball at the infamous form of currency while simultaneously jumping over the Hench men surrounding him and landing on a small desk
"On second thought with my luck, it'll land on heads" Spider-man said with a hidden grin
"Waste him!" Two Face yelled as he and his men opened fire on the surprisingly quick and agile man
Peter easily waved through the storm of bullets with almost no effort at all. He quickly shot several web bullets at several thugs who were armed with shot guns and pinned them to the ground or in one's case, to a pillar.
"SPREAD OUT!" Two Face yelled out to his men who began to spread out and make themselves harder targets for Spider-man, at least that's what they believed
In reality they just made Peter's job a bit easier as he formed several waldoes on his back and had them shot several web nets and web bullets at the scattered men and pinned them to the ground. Peter felt his spider-sense tingle and he looked to see Two Face pulling a grenade out of his pocket and pulling the pin from it
"What, you're not going to flip your coin for it old Harvey? Was kind of hoping that taking it out of the equation would render you useless or something" Peter said as he scratched his head and watched in almost slow motion as the grenade approached him
He quickly shot a web line at the lethal device and yanked it up towards the ceiling where it detonated
KABWOOOOOM!
Several chunks of concrete fell from the slightly damaged ceiling and forced some of Two Face's remaining men to scatter or risk being hurt by the falling pieces. Two Face let out a roar of rage as Peter landed before him
"Aww don't be like that Harv, if anything you should be honored. You're my first Gotham Rouge!" Peter said as he punched the deformed man in the face and sent him flying into two of his men
Peter was about to move when he saw that the last three men were aiming their rifles at him. He simply stood still as the projectiles impacted against his form and ricochet off him. He quirked his head in amusement as he saw the three men look at him in surprise. He then held up his hand and blasted the three men back with a very low powered blast from his suit's repulesors before covering them in a thick blanket of web fluid
He then turned his attention to Two Face who was slowly climbing to his feet, glaring at him with his half deformed face
"Okay I'll admit, that whole flesh exposed look does look pretty scary…for a B rated horror movie. Dude I know a guy who has a burning skull for a head and if you look into his eyes it'll burn your soul or something. This, ain't gonna do much be have me question how you wash your face in the shower or sleep with one of your eye lids burnt off" Peter said before he shot a web net at the binary themed villain, pinning him to the wall
"GAAAAH!" Two Face yelled in rage as he tried to free himself from his sticky restrains "What the hell is this!"
"Webs…you know because I'm Spider-man and spiders spin webs…you'll get it eventually" Peter said as he approached the man and leaning in close and examined the former district attorney "Question, how the hell haven't you caught some sort of infection with all this exposed flesh and bone?"
Two Face glared at Spider-man "When I get out of this, I'm going to-"
"Hunt me down, make me pay, kill my loved ones, good luck with that last one by the way, yadie yadie yadda" Peter said in a dry tone as he leaned back "Like you're not the first guy to say that to me since I threw common sense to the wind and decided to fight bad guys in thin skin tight spandex and when the occasion calls for it, kick ass armor"
He quickly slammed his fist into Harvey's face, knocking him out before turning to cover the two men he was thrown into in web fluid before he had his suit make an anonymous call to GCPD.
Several minutes later Peter was standing on a rooftop that was overlooking the bank that was surrounded by seven police cars, their lights flashing as they arrested Harvey and his men
"Well I was hoping for something more epic for my first fight with a Gotham baddie but oh well. Always tomorrow…and the next day…and the one after that" Peter said to himself
"Who the hell are you talking to?" a voice spoke up behind him
Peter looked over his shoulder and was greeted to the sight of a young red head dressed in a purple suit with a yellow bat symbol on her chest, a short black snap on cape, yellow gloves, yellow boots with black laces, a yellow belt that had a led punch strapped to her right leg, a cowl that exposed her bright green eyes, and her shoulder length red hair
She looked to be in her early twenties and was currently looking at him in confusion as he remained crouched on the ledge
"Hmm let me guess…your Batwoman?" Peter guessed
"Batgirl actually" the now named Batgirl said with a sigh as she crossed her arms "What are you doing here? Batman doesn't like other's working in his city"
"Yeah well old sour puss can say it to my face!" Peter said as he stood up and hopped off the ledge "Well he actually kind of did earlier but I gave him the proverbial finger and then took off and eventually came across Two Face down there"
"I heard" Batgirl said "Impressive, Dent's not an east person to beat"
"Have you tried asking him to flip the coin on wheatear to surrender or not?" Peter asked with a quirked head "I did it just to distract him and after that webbed the little sucker up tighter than a rubber band around a small kitten in a washing machine"
Batgirl gave him a slightly disturbed look "…Uh"
"New York around Halloween gets messed up" Peter said before he clapped his hands together "Welp it's been a rather productive night so far, I helped Batman save a plane from crashing, with some help from these weird Superman and Supergirl looking people, took on some guys transporting some weapons in stuffed animals and I took down a major Gotham rouge"
"Wow that is a pretty productive night" Batgirl said in slight surprise
"Really? Back where I'm from that doesn't even count as a slow day" Peter said
"And just where are you're from, I've never even seen you before, let alone heard of you" Batgirl inquired
"From an alternate earth and ended up here after an epic one sided beat down with Doomsday and was saved by one of the most badass women I've ever seen" Peter said with a shrug before he yawned "See ya tomorrow night Batgirl"
"You think Batman is going to let you roam around Gotham?" the red head asked with amusement
"Yep, mostly because he wouldn't be able to stop me without actually killing me…I'm not joking on the last part by the way. He will have to literally kill me, stop my heart and make sure all brain activity is at zero to stop me from coming back here and being the hero that this city really doesn't want and annoying the hell of out a guy who looks like might have a stroke if he so much as smiles!"
Batgirl chuckled at that "He's not that bad, but I see what you mean. And if you do happen to stick around- "I'm called Spider-man for a reason" – then I look forward to working with you"
Batgirl gave him a two finger salute before she approached the ledge and pulled a grappling hook from her belt and shot it off into the city before swinging away, her cape flying in the wind
Peter watched her go for a moment before nodding "And I happen to meet a cute red head, the only way this night can get any better is-"
Peter was interrupted by a Boom tube opening up and Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman walking out of it. Batman was to no one's surprise glaring at Spider-man who responded with a wave, Superman giving him a sympathetic smile and Wonder Woman who was grinning at him
"Staying out of trouble I hope?" Diana asked as she looked to see the police cars pull away from the bank
"Aside from saving an air plane and stopping two Face from robbing a bank, yeah" Peter said with a nod before turning towards the Dark Knight "You hear that bats! I not only came to your city and helped you advert a potentially horrible disaster, but I had the nerve to even take on one of your baddies…and win!"
Batman narrowed his lenses at Spider-man while Superman grinned "Guess you didn't get that break you wanted huh?"
"Nah, but hey I ain't complaining. Oh Bat's BTW's I ran into Batgirl and she sort of hinted she wants me to stick around so…I'm sticking around!"
"No you're not" Batman growled as he stepped right into Spider-man's face "You are going back to the Watchtower and staying there until we can figure out how to send you back"
Peter stared at the dark clad man for a long moment before speaking "That's not going to happen Bats…not anytime soon at least"
"And why's that?" Batman asked with a borderline growl
"Personal reasons" Peter shrugged, unwilling to diverging the real reason why he'll be staying around. Something tells him that the Justice League won't be entirely on board with what he'll have to do, hell he barley is "And no I'm not going to tell you what they are. And don't think you can have Wonder Woman there do it for you with her glowing rope that I kind of want too, I'll tear my own tongue out before I reveal anything that private to you"
It was then that Wonder Woman stepped forward "Spider-man, would you please come back to the Watchtower?"
Peter turned his gaze towards her "So you can lock me up?"
"No" Wonder Woman said before Superman, but mostly Batman could say anything "So we can begin to discuss where you'll be staying and what city you'll be operating in. Aside from the brief but harmless scuffle with Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg you've proven that you aren't a threat"
"Five minutes with a man named John Jonah Jameson will fix that" Peter said sarcastically before he let out a tired sigh "Fine I'll go, but only because you asked nicely. See bat's saying please does wonders. You should try it sometime"
"And you should try keeping quiet" Batman snapped, growing increasingly irritated with the man before him
Peter made a show of tapping his chin in deep thought before he looked towards Batman with a serious expression, or as serious as his suit can make "Yeaaaaah noooo…no. Sorry Bat's but if I'm not talking than I'm not living up to my infamous title…chatter box!"
Batman had to resist the urge to punch the now laughing man as he followed Wonder Woman into the Boom tube, leaving him and Superman on the rooftop
"I like him" Superman said with a grin "You don't meet too many guys like him whose gone to hell and back and are still so upbeat about everything"
"Good for you" Batman growled before he turned and made his way to the edge of the building "Keep him out of Gotham"
The then shot his grappling hook and swung off into the distance and heading back to the Batcave so he can further investigate the two other heroes that have appeared in his city tonight, leaving Superman on the rooftop for a moment before he too left and headed home to his wife and son
And done.
Next chapter Peter will return to Gotham, meet up with Batman again along with Gotham and Gotham Girl and meet a certain feline thief. We'll also look back into the Marvel verse and check to see how another certain cat thief is handling the news of Spider-man's 'death'
