Chapter 8: Some Fun

(New York City, Manhattan, SHIELD Academy, the next day)

Spider-Man stood watching Nova, Iron Spider, Power Man, Iron Fist, Dagger, Cloak, Agent Venom, and Rhino training. He'd been trying not to think about Harry…about Norman…about the possibility of the return of his greatest enemy.

"Hey itsby bitsy!" A voice grunted.

Everyone turned to see White Tiger walking towards Spider-Man and started laughing.

(Oh no…)

"Director Fury wants us to go on patrol." White Tiger said, pointing her left thumb behind her over her shoulder.

"Huh? I thought it was…" Spider-Man started to say.

White Tiger glared at him, crossing her arms.

"Ok…" Spider-Man sighed.

"Tell me: Who's leader again?!" Nova called out.

Suddenly his mouth was completely shut by webbing. Nova's screamed angrily, but it was muffled by the webbing.

"There's a reminder Bucket Head." Spider-Man growled, eyes narrowed.

White Tiger grabbed the scuff of the back of his neck and dragged him out of the academy.

"Why is The Big Cheese wanting us to go on patrol? And could you let go of me? Please?" Spider-Man asked.

"To get your mind of Harry & Norman. Your sulking isn't helping anyone Spidey. You need to get your head in the game." White Tiger grunted, letting go of Spider-Man.

Spider-Man dusted himself off while White Tiger crossed her arms, glaring at him.

"Ok…let's go." Spider-Man sighed.

(Manhattan)

Spider-Man was web-slinging through the city while White Tiger raced across the rooftops.

"So how's your week been kitty cat?" Spider-Man asked.

"Call me that again and you'll experience what it's like to be disemboweled by a tiger." White Tiger snarled.

(*Gulps*)

"Uhhh…um…how's your week been?" Spidey stuttered fearfully.

"*Sighs* Not good. Learning that the Green Goblin might be making a comeback does not sound good at all. You know how much horror he brought. I do not want to go through that hell again." White Tiger snarled.

Spider-Man then landed on the building directly in front of White Tiger.

"He's not going to return White Tiger. Doctor Connors is checking to see if there is anything left of Goblin and plans to free Norman of it. He won't hurt you or anyone else ever again." Spider-Man said, putting a reassuring hand on White Tiger's shoulder.

She looked up at him, and was about to say something. Suddenly there was an explosion. Both looked down to see the smoke coming from a bank.

"Wanna have some fun?" Spider-Man chuckled.

White Tiger grinned under her mask.

"Heh heh, oh yeah." White Tiger chuckled.

(Chase Bank, Manhattan, minutes later)

A dozen men or so in gray suits and wearing Scream masks had blown a hole in the bank's vault. They are filling bags with loads and loads of cash. Some of them have their machine guns on their backs, the straps to them around their arms & necks. A few stood at the entrance of the vaults with their weapons in hand.

"Come on boys! Hurry up! The cops will be here soon!" One of the guarding robbers shouted.

"Why are you in such a hurry fellas! Why don't you just stick around! Haha!" A voice laughed as both of the robbers guarding the entrance were suddenly incased in webbing and were thrown against the wall above the vault's entrance.

"No! Not that insect again! Not now!" One of the robbers growled.

"Insect?! Spiders are arachnids!" Spider-Man growled, landing at the entrance of the vault with White Tiger.

"Oh get over it Web Head." White Tiger growled.

"Haha! Web Head!" One of the robbers laughed.

All the robbers started laughing, mockingly pointing their fingers at Spider-Man.

(This is so not funny.)

"You guys won't laughing long! Let's take 'em down!" White Tiger snarled, punching her right fist into her open left palm.

"Sorry sweetheart! Not happening!" One of the robbers growled, raising his gun.

Spider-Man quickly fired off several shots of his webbing, covering the barrels of the guns.

"Ah sh…" One of the robbers started to say, but was quickly knocked away by a punch from Spider-Man.

"Shame on yourself! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?!" Spider-Man playfully mocked.

The robber flew back and hit the wall with a thud. The other robbers growled as they dropped their guns & bags full of money. White Tiger face-palmed herself, shaking her head in her hand. Spider-Man laughed as he dodged the punch from one of the robbers then grabbed and threw him into another charging at him.

"See you next fall! Haha!" Spider-Man laughed as both men fell to the ground with thuds.

"What do we have for pest control around here?!" One of the robbers growled, fists clenching.

"A foot full of this!" White Tiger growled as she leapt at the robber and kicked him in the face, sending him skidding across the floor.

White Tiger & Spider-Man were then back to back, facing off with the rest of the robbers surrounding them.

"Bet I take down more of them than you do." Spider-Man chuckled.

"You're on." White Tiger replied, grinning.

They both then leapt at the robbers. Spider-Man quickly punched one of the men, sending him flying. He then webbed another then threw him, sending him to stick against the wall. The masked teen then dodged a punch from another, then tripped him and webbed him while he was down.

(Already three without breaking a sweat. Ha! Tiger's not going to beat me!)

"So how we doing back…there?" Spider-Man said, but heard several blows landing and pained grunts then turned to see the rest of the robbers lying in broken heaps at White Tiger's feet.

"Looks like I win." White Tiger chuckled with a grin.

"Seriously? How?!" Spider-Man groaned in despair.

White Tiger chuckled, approaching Spider-Man. She moved in close and moved her head close to his. Spider-Man's eyes widened in surprise, sweating nervously under his mask.

"I'm just that good." White Tiger whispered in Spider-Man's ear.

She then started to walk away.

"Web them up. The police will arrive shortly." White Tiger said.

"Y-You got it!" Spider-Man said, then webbed the rest of the robbers up.

(Did I just…Who really is the leader?...)

Later both were on a rooftop watching the police lead away the robbers away.

"That was fun. Thanks White Tiger." Spider-Man said.

"Yeah…it was." White Tiger replied, smiling.

"Well I guess our patrol is over…gotta go report it to The Big Cheese. I'll contact him. Hope the rest of our patrols are like the ones we've had so far." Spider-Man said, then walked to another part of the roof while working his comm link to connect with Director Fury.

"Yeah…me too." White Tiger said, pulling out and looking at the white flower that Fury saw in her hair days ago, smiling.

To be continued…
