Man285: Thank You

Ben 10: I appreciate your enthusiasm to see what will happen in my story and you will find out what happens soon.

New York City

The city is ever restless, people all over the city are running all over to get to their jobs. The Daily Bugle was broadcasting its daily messages, even though it was mostly slander about Spider-Man. The S.H.E.I.L.D Tricarrier was hovering in the sky seeming invisible to the public eye.

There was a cop car that were on patrol, the policemen inside of the car were talking about New York's Webslinger. "Com'on Frank you got to admit that he is half the reason the city's in danger, he causes damage to the city and it cost a lot to pay over, he works outside of the law, and he's makes most of the villains. "

His partner was just drinking his coffee and said "You've been reading too much into Jameson messages, Spider Man helps people, not put them in danger. Besides even if he does make a problem, Spidey always fixes it in the end, plus he doesn't need to work with police he has Shield and he has improved since he went there" His partner however wasn't connived.

Their radio went off "All units, we have a bank robbery down at Grand Avenue. The suspects there are Fred Meyers, Herman Schultz, Mark Raxton, Frances Louise Barrison and one unknown suspect wearing what looks like a pumpkin on his head they've sealed themselves inside and are holding hostages" The first officer answered the call "This is Officer Wesley, were heading there now"

A few minutes earlier

standing on top of an edge of a building was the web slinging Spider Man who was sitting next to the gargoyle, who he named Bruce.

(Oh, hey guys. It's just your ever loving webslinger taking a day off. If your wondering why is because my friends at the S.H.I.E.L.D academy suggested I take some time off. Well...I say suggested, what I mean is that my friends wanted me to get out and enjoy myself. So I thought I just sit down next to Bruce here and take in the view...And if i try and go back to the academy White Tiger would threaten to tear me up and...well this story doesn't have a m rating so I can't go into detail. Still it's nice to take some time to myself, without Fury's cameras on me. But not only that but I haven't got a day off in a long while so I'm enjoying it while I can)

Spider Man then felt a grumble in his stomach. He looked around for something to ea. He then saw a hot dog vendor, he web bungie down and grabbed and grabbed a hotdog and left some money there while the vendor was faced backwards and when he turned back, he was left confused and wondered how that money appeared.

Spider Man then lifted his mask to his nose and was prepared to eat it. He turned his head left and right to see if anything was going on. "Usually when I try and eat something I instantly get interrupted by a super villain or an intergalactic threat that could very well destroy the earth. Well not this time, this time I'm eating this damn thing" He thought to himself. He then took a bite out of the hot dog. "Alright! I can finely eat in peace" He was then going to take a second bite until he saw police cars driving fastly by buildings. Spidey groaned at this.

(God damn It)

Spider Man got up and webbed the hot dog into a small web cocoon and webbed it onto the side of the building. "I'll be back" He then jumped off the building and started following the police.

New York Bank

The police car drove off to head for the bank. It drove fastly past other cars. After a while they where there at the bank, there were other police cars there as well. The two officers got out of their car and went to the nearest police sergeant. "Hey boss what's happening?"

"Well if you two got here in time you would know. There's currently a robbery but we got all exist covered, but seeing as their all super powered criminals they might just ram straight though us to get out of here"

The captain was was waiting for S.W.A.T to arrive and give them a extra hand. But he knew that there would be another person that could help them out with this.

Inside The Bank

the super powered criminals are collecting the money and gold from the vault, Shocker was helping Shriek collect the gold from the vault, while Molten Man was melting all the covers the police could get in though. Boomerang kept and eye on the hostages pointing his boomerangs at them if they moved. The man known as the Jack O' Lantern just stood in the middle of the room, talking to someone with a communication device.

"And your sure this will draw out the arachnid?" Asked an unknown person on their other side of the device.

"We holding one of the biggest banks in New York hostage. I'm very sure you'll get what you want as long you pay us of our cooperation"

"You will as long your able to bring him to him alive...If you can"

"Don't you worry, you just stay there in your little hiding hole, while the big boys take care of this" he said after shutting off the communicator.

Shocker and Shriek was having trouble lifting the gold bars. Shocker shouted over to Boomerang "Hey Boomer, come over here and help us load this up!" Boomerang didn't move from his spot and replied " Oh please, that's not even hard to carry, besides I already have something else better to do"

"Oh yeah, I'm sure you sitting there on your ass is really important"

"I have to guard these guys so we have leverage for the cops and we need them to lure out the bug"

"Well then ask pumpkin head" Boomerang then gave up trying to argue and went over to Jack.

"Hey uh...Jack could you give us a hand with this, the loot ain't gonna haul it self" Jack just looked at him coldly, Boomerang just shivered nervously.

"Do you need to be reminded of why were here Mr Meyers?" O'Lantern said in a cold and somewhat demonic voice. Boomerang was a bit nervous too speak

"Well...were here to cause a distraction so we could lure out the bug biter"

"Exactly why our paying customer wanted us to do, stealing everything here is a bonus, Go help the others Meyers, and if any of the police decide to come in, kill them. That'l draw out the spider and then we'll get him"

"Okay" Boomerang said, he moved back to his spot until Jack stopped him grabbing his shoulder.

Boomerang then went back to help the others while Jack'O Lantern stood in the middle of the room waiting for the Web-Slinger

Outside of the bank there police were devising a strategy to get inside and apprehend the criminals. farther away from them was Spider Man on the ledge of building in front of the bank.

(Well this I haven't seen for a while, I mean I've been caught up with intergalactic threats and mad scientists. It's rare of me to actually stop a bank robbery from a few criminals. I'm gonna make the best of it)

He then used his communicator to contact his team. but it was on the fritz and couldn't get it to work. "Hmm...weird this thing never goes out" He then took another look at the bank and thought "I can still do this without backup, besides this will be a piece of cake" Spider Man then leaped from the ledge and started to websling on top of the bank. He silently climbed inside the vents on the back of the building without alerting anyone to alert his position.

He crawled inside the vents having stealth on his side, he looked outside the vents and saw molten man melting the doors. He silently jumped out of the vents and walked to Molten Man's side

"Hey what are you doing?" Spidey asked jokingly

"I'm melting all the entrances and exits so Spider Man won't go coming in and...WHAT THE" Molten Man then jumped up away from him and noticed who he was "Spider Man!"

That's me! do you want an autograph? who am I making it out to bobby, Joey or little Greg?" Spider Man mocked him. Molten Man then got angered and started to fire lava at him, Spider Man easily doge this leaping all over the room. Spider Man then started to fire web shots at him, put they had no effect has they burned up as they went anywhere near him. Spider Man then attempt to hit him, but when he tried to punched him in the face Molten Man grabbed his hand fiercely. Molten Man laughed at his attempts to fight him. "you think your puny little webs can harm me"

Maybe not, but you didn't count on the sprinklers didn't ya?" Molten Man was confused on what he just said. What sprinklers?" Spidey then pointed up and he saw them. "I know their not working now, but a little shock can give it a chance" He then fired two web grapples at them and active his electro webs. The sprinklers then became active. Molten Man started to winced in pain. "Damn it that stings!"

"Don't worry I have something for that" Molten Man looked up and saw Spider Man leaped him in the air and kicked him in the face. Molten Man was then unconscious. "Me kicking you in the face, now you have something to distract you from the other pain" He started to web him to side of the wall. "Stick around, he he" Spider Man joked.

In the other room, Shocker and Shriek were nearly done loading up the money and gold, Boomerang however was curious about something. "Hey, have guys noticed that there's been less of a burning sound?"

"Shocker and Shriek noticed this, but they discard it and said" He probably lost his breath or something... besides, all the entrances and exits are melted down no one can get in"

Spider Man then proceed the next room. He then saw Jack 'O Lantern faced backwards in front of him, Spider Man quickly web zipped to the celing. He then noticed to the other side of the room Boomerang was standing near the hostages "How I'm I going stop them without putting the hostages in danger?" Spider Man thought, He then came up with an idea. He quietly wall crawled across the room without gaining the notice of the villains. Jack then looked behind him to see if anything was their, he then left to go find Shriek and Shocker.

He managed to find a terminal for the lights, he jumped down and quickly rerouted some wires.

Jack then came back with the two criminals. "So boss what should we do while were waiting for the wall-crawler? how about he off one of these stooges" Boomerang said while holding one of his boomerangs to one of the hostages neck.

"No, not yet we need to be patient and wait for him to come to us" Boomerang then got annoyed at this "Oh, come on boss let's just off and then he'll notice besides we don't know if he'll even..."

He was interrupted as the lights suddenly went off. "Well our guest as arrived. Pleasure you could make Spider Man, I was hoping you would come, I mean after that whole incident with those giant aliens, I would think that you would forget about crooks like us, besides none of those other heroes in tights don't have the same style as you" Jack said grimley

Spider Man moved quickly around the room, he then noticed that none of them were near the hostages he quickly grabbed them and put them in the other room. He webbed the doors so the villains wouldn't get them. This didn't go unnoticed by them, they saw that the hostages were gone and the door was webbed.

"Well, I'm glad THAT I'm your favourite hero. I mean there are a lot of heroes but you find me the best out of all of them, you can tell all your friends when I send you to jail after this Jacky boy, you know public opinion isn't really in my favour but I'm glad that even my villains find me interesting"

Shocker, Shriek and Boomerang were on their guard but they were panicked as well as angered. Jack however was calm as ever, he knew that Spider Man would arrive in a matter of time, It just takes patience. Shocker then quickly noticed that on one side of the wall was a quick movement. "FOUND HIM!" he started to fire at the walls hoping to kill the spider. Shriek started to scream and boomerang began to fire his boomerangs.

Spider Man managed to doge all of their attacks , except for one of the boomerangs that managed to make a small cut on his arm. He then activated his night vision in his mask, he quiet went behind Shocker, he tapped him on the shoulder. Shocker turned around and saw him, he was about to fire at him, but Spider Man then fired webs at his gauntlets. They went off causing him to be flung across to the side of the room. Shriek then started screaming at him while Boomerang activated his jet boots and started to brawl with Spider Man. Jack still stood standing in the middle of the room, seeing if his reaming collages can handle him.

Shriek was finding it difficult to hit Spider Man as he and Boomerang were fighting in mid-air. "Boomerang get out of the way, I need a clear shot of him and I don't need your big head in the way!" He ignored her and continued fighting with Spider Man, managing to get a few hits on him. She eventually got annoyed and started to use her screaming power on Spider Man, not caring if Boomerang was in the way. Spider Man saw the sonic blast, he leaped over boomerang and instead Spider Man, Boomerang got stunned "YOU DID THAT ON POURPOSE!" Boomerang screamed at the top of his lungs in pain and angered at the same time.

"You wouldn't move you idiot! if you started to listen instead of..."

Spider Man just watched as the duo argued with each other. "These guys aren't the brightest light bulbs in the lamp are they?" Spider Man jokingly asked. "Maybe, but they make good fodder" Jack replied coldly.

Spider Man then interrupted the two "Um, are you two forgetting who your fighting, are you really so forgetful that you have to fight yourselves?"

The two stopped arguing started to contuine their fight with Spider Man. They continued to fire projectiles at him. they didn't even come close to hitting him, he made a few jokes along the way."Ya 'know these Screamerangs aren't very affective even with you two numbskulls, Have you ever tried different carrier options. Sherik, how about you go into yodelling while Boomerangs becomes a baseball player!"

Boomerang then tried to fly fiercely towards him, Spidey leaped up in the air and webbed one of his boots causing him to fly madly. Shriek then attempted to use hand to hand combat on him. it's was going well in her favour as she was fighting him she used her scream power during points of their fights.

Spider Man then webbed her mouth and webslinged to the other side of the room, he was also behind Boomerang who was struggling to get down as he tried to turn off his jet boosters "Didn't your mother said if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"

Shriek then was building up a gigantic scream that could surely give him a heart attack. Boomerang managed to get up he saw Spider Man right in front of him facing backwards. he evilly grinned at this. He then pulled his last boomerang and started to give it an electric power up. He waited of an opportunity to strike.

Spider Man noticed this, he waited for the perfect opportunity to act. "Wait for it" he muttered under his breath. Boomerang then let go his boomerang and Sherik let her screech out. "Now!" Spider Man the webslinged on the celling. The duo saw their oncoming attacks at each other "Oh shit" they both muttered. The Screech them knocked boomerang out of the building and the boomerang hit Shriek, electrocuting her in the process and knocking her out.

"Spider Man then jumped to the ground "Ta Da!" Spider Man shouted happily. He then heard a slow clapping in the room. it was Jack. "I have to say I'm impressed, now I understand why my contractor wants you" They both heard the police about to come inside of the bank." I wish I could have the chance to have my go in fighting you but I'm afraid our time is short, but don't worry we will have this little interaction again" He then got on a disk glider and picked up Shocker and Shriek while leaving Boomerang and Molten Man behind. He flew up in the air. leaving Spider Man's eye sight.

Spider Man couldn't get to them in time, he decide to cut the webbing of the doors and guided the civilians out of the bank and take to safety. they exited the bank the police got the people to safety. One Officer attempted to arrest Spider Man. "alright buddy your coming with..." He was interrupted by the captain "That won't be necessary son, This Man just save the lives of these good people" He looked at Spider Man "Were lucky to have heroes like you giving us hand"

"No problem captain, just doing my job"

Spider Man then left the scene by webslinged out of their. he web sling for a while, trying to find his spot where he was eating. "okay now were is..oh, wait there it is!"

He then leaped to his spot, but he couldn't find his food. "I don't understand where is my..." He then looked to the ground and saw that the webbing had dissolved and had ended up on the ground and was being eaten by birds.

(Well, I still had fun, well I'm going to websling around the city to see if there's anything else I can do)

Spidey then left his ledge and continued we swing around in the city. Meanwhile in the sky of New York there was a glinting blue light, finding it's objective
