Ava disembarked her train at the BludHaven station with only a gym bag slung over her shoulder she packed light under the impression that she was just going to bring Peter home. But first she would have to find him in a city only slightly smaller than Gotham and almost as crowded as New York. People pushed and forced their way through the crowds even if it meant shoving one another from each-others path, Ava quickly found out it was easier to take to the roof tops as White Tiger.

Despite all the bright lights of the clubs and restaurants the roofs were well consumed in shadows allowing White Tiger to move freely and swiftly. The damp air of the night clung to the fibers of her suit as a gentle mist showered the city and Ava soon felt a chill sink in she was alone in city she wasn't familiar with and possibly getting sick.

Elsewhere just beyond the city limits towards the city transit junction Spider-man and Nightwing were waiting at a train crossing in a black and blue stripped vintage dodge challenger. The car was built from Batman's blue prints of the Batmobile the vintage car was fitted with state of the art weapons and navigations, bullet proof glass and triple laired reinforced armour under the body panels with chameleon camouflage abilities to blend into civilian traffic and a classified borrowed prototype engine from Wayne industries producing 5000 horse power and leaving a jealous Spider-man in the shotgun seat. "How is this fair you do this alone and still have a Nightwing mobile and S.H.I.E.L.D won't even spot me a Spidey mobile?" Spider-man whined as he continuously scowered over the car crawling over the seats and playing with the buttons "you guys believe this? He has his own car and motorcycle…Fury and I need to have to a talk about my toy allowance"

"kid will you settle down and try to act professional" Nightwing growled "and it's called the night bird" the train passed by and the car roared its way over the tracks splashing through mud puddles as it entered Haven transit Junction. A run down and degrading neighbourhood "so where did your on again off again girlfriend say this creep was hiding out?" Nightwing asked pulling the car to a stop just at the entrance to an apartment building with boarded up windows.

Spider-man peeked out the window and started looking for signs of Deadpool which was easier to find then they thought, there was a giant painting of Deadpool's face plastered over the front wall "yup, definitely Deadpool" (Chibi Spidey is standing in front of sign with Deadpool's face on it with the word bad written across the top "oh that's a bad sign")

"Well I think that's our guy's hideout" Spider-man pointed to the painted wall "big obnoxious theatrics"

Nightwing shut the car off and the two young heroes exited the car "alright kid you said you know this guy what are we walking into?" he asked.

"Expect a lot of crazy but other than that nothing really to expect this guy will pull C4 from his pants just to blow up a toilet because he finds funny… expect nothing but prepare for everything" Spider-man finished.

"Great insane and skilled" Nightwing sighed as he popped the trunk of his car and pulled out a belt similar to his other one "we'll be needing stronger toys".

Nightwing used his grapnel gun and Spider-man started climbing the walls to the top room the one with the katana stuck into the door lock. "well at least he left the door unlocked for us" Nightwing reasoned as he and Spider-man cracked the door open and swiftly moved across the messy pizza sauce stained walled room, bullet holes riddled the headboard and a blow up doll was tied to the closet hanger "ok yeah this guy is seriously out there" Nightwing stated.

Spider-man searched the rest of the room when he found a blank DVD with a sticky note labelled "Webby", curious Spider-man played the disk and a familiar lunatic in a red and black body suit came on screen. "Hiya Webby! It's me your hero you know the guy whose suit you ripped off? Anyway I heard you were in town and I can only assume it's because you know I helped send the big dude after Coulson in New York…and let tell you something amigo, I did I admit it but still I'm offended you came straight to me first it hurts my feelings but to show there's no hard feelings I'm throwing a surprise party for you and the guy in the rubber suit but it's not ready yet so just enjoy the preshow fireworks" Deadpool picked up a detonator and began clicking the button but had no effect. Spider-man and Nightwing hesitantly opened their eyes when there was no fiery boom, "hey what gives? Hold on Webby. Stupid cheap Chinese piece of junk" Deadpool muttered.

Spider-man and Nightwing stared at the screen as Deadpool kept clicking the button. After 10 minutes of nothing the door came flying off its hinges and a man in a green suit with claws like Wolverine came clawing into the room shredding the walls and furniture. He was roughly Nightwing's build but his suit was green and black with 2 long blades fixed to each wrist and goggles covering his eyes.

Nightwing suddenly stiffened up and his fists tightened up, it was almost as if he knew this man…and wasn't fond of him. "Hello Raymond" he greeted, his voice was cold and lifeless maybe even laced with fear.

"Murder" the stranger scoffed.

Spider-man looked from the green intruder back to Nightwing he could feel the deep rivalry and hatred between them radiate in the air "hi guys, sorry to interrupt but could one of you fill me in here?" he asked.

The Stranger lashed out at Nightwing narrowly missing him as Nightwing dodged his blades, the stranger was fast maybe even faster than Nightwing showing by how he clipped Nightwing's suit leaving a straight cut blood trial across his chest. Nightwing retaliated with a roundhouse kick creating an opening for Spider-man to strike, his first hit slammed the Stranger into the closet door causing it to buckle on him.

"oh batteries!" came Deadpool's voice from the TV as he clicked his button once more triggering a tingle in Spider-man's head, seconds later the apartment blew outwards in all directions sending shards of glass and chunks of debris raining onto the ground below. Followed by the two heroes who crashed like falling asteroids into the complex pool. they floated there motionless bobbing in the water like floating logs as the apartment building continued to burn in a reddish orange blaze lighting up the night sky.

Nightwing was the first to recover splashing himself awake gasping for air and dragging Spider-man over to the edge of the pool "Saiko of all assassins in the city Saiko is the one I'm up against and he's got a psychotic friend who likes bombs! Yeah, going to be a good hunt" he irritably mumbled to himself as he pulled Spider-man up onto the deck "Oracle, Spider-man's lead just blew up in our faces. Run a line on a guy named Deadpool" he ordered into his comlink.

"Say please" came Barbra's playful taunting voice.

"Pretty please" Nightwing replied.

"Sure soon as I'm at the lair"

Spider-man slowly started coming back to life despite being waterlogged and the feeling of a full body sun burn he managed to sit up right "ugh" he groaned cracking his neck and back "so who was the green dude?" he asked.

Nightwing pressed his fingers to his mask and began scanning the burning building top but there were no signs of a human body in the wreckage "still able to cheat death" he mumbled. They returned to the Night bird soaked to the bone Nightwing threw his belt into the trunk when he got to his seat he found Spider-man playing with a holographic screen from his watch. "What are you playing with kid?" he asked.

"When I knocked your green friend into the closet I tagged him with a Spider tracer, a tracking device"

"So a bug from a bug?" Nightwing taunted.

"Hey! Spiders are not bugs they're arachnids!" Spider-man snapped back

"Whatever, so where is he?"

Spider-mans eyes quirked as he zoomed in on the screen "uhm…this thing must be broken because it says he…" before Spider-man finished he felt his Spider sense start blaring. Out of nowhere a series of small rockets came soaring towards the Night bird blowing up around the car forcing Nightwing to flip away and Spider-man to duck under the dashboard.

"Behind you!"

As the smoke cleared there were blast holes in the ground, scorch marks against the paint "you missed Phsyco!" Spider-man yelled from within the car as he pulled himself out through the door flopping onto the ground.

The names Saiko, I'd tell you not to forget it but I don't think you'll be around long enough to remember it" Saiko replied brandishing his claws "Greyson run off without you?" he scoffed before grabbing Spider-man and raising his claws to his neck

"Well you know birds they like to fly" Spider-man joked. Saiko however didn't find his response very funny and proceeded to wail on Spider-man 3 quick body shots with his claws and powerful roundhouse knocked Spider-man to the ground before he even knew what happened with blood rushing from the six stab wounds. Saiko was fast indeed, "ok you're one of those guys who don't like jokes" he groaned. Saiko went to kick him again but this time Spider-man was ready, he pushed himself up and away from Saiko shooting globs of webbing at his goggles blinding him. Spider-man quickly struck a powerful punch throwing him against the building wall followed by two bird looking disks pinning Saiko by the shoulder of his suit.

Spider-man turned to the direction of the thrown disks to face Nightwing "thanks for the help pajama man!" he snapped "Phsyco over there was going to gut me like a fish!"

Nightwing walked up next to him but there wasn't his usual grin, instead he looked stone cold serious "stay focused we're not done yet" he ordered.

How right he was, Saiko yanked his arms free and tore the webbing from his goggles. He then quickly jumped against the wall and kicked off like a spring with his claws out front narrowly missing the heroes as they back flipped to the sides, Saiko quickly recovered turning and fired more rockets into the air blasting a part more sections of the complex. Nightwing landed unscathed by the explosion and drew his batons ready for Saiko who came flying out of the flames clawing at Nightwing like a rabid animal. Saiko was faster and more agile than Nightwing, so much more that Nightwing was barely able to defend himself and Saikos claws dug in and tore through his suit and skin carving Nightwing up like thanksgiving turkey. Blood trickled and streaked down the black backdrop that was his suit and the cold twinging feeling of his wounds shot through his body and up his spine.

Saiko then dug his claws into Nightwing's leg and twisted the blade. Nightwing screamed through clenched teeth he could feel the cold surface of the steel cutting into his muscles. But it didn't diminish his fight, ever since the age of 9 he was trained to ignore the pain to work through it, to use it as a weapon which he did when he slowly started pulling Saikos blades from his leg "tell me something Ray…did you ever get your suit insulated?" Nightwing asked tightening his grip on Saikos arm simultaneously pressing a button on his belt sending 200 volts of stored electricity from his suit into Saiko.

"AAAH!" Saiko screamed with dire intensity feeling his heart beat spike radically and his muscles started pulsing causing his knees to buckle "nnot gggoing too work this time Dick!" he growled through stammering and chattering teeth, Saiko slowly raised his claws summoning what strength he could he drove the blades into Nightwing's ribs sending the electrical current back into him. Nightwing keeled over from the puncture wounds luckily his suit was diluting most of the charge avoiding serious damage.

"anytime here bug boy!" Nightwing hollered.

A powerful engine fired up and revved at high RPMs followed by screaming tires catching Saikos and Nightwing's attention "that's my car"

The night bird roared across the lot slamming into Saiko launching him into the air to the pool with a huge impact splash. Spider-man staggered from the driver seat clutching his wounds ignoring the blood flowing between his fingers shaking from the possible nerve damage "shoot that with your rockets Pshyco" he chuckled.

But his triumph quickly diminished when Saikos hand sprung from the water surface "you have got to be kidding me! Does this guy not go down?" he gasped.

Saiko sprung from the water like an acrobat and came sprinting across the lot quickly closing the gap between himself and the heroes but this time Spider-man was ready. Saiko jumped through the air bringing his claws down on top of heroes when Spider-man fired 2 web lines at his chest and swung him around like a ball and chain releasing electrical current from his shooters before throwing Saiko towards Nightwing who charged at Saiko and slammed him to the ground with a flying hammer kick driving him into the ground.

Saikos suit was smoking as he lay there at Nightwings feet and a very drained Spider-man "is that it? Is he down this time?" asked a winded Spider-man.

Nightwing turned his gauntlet and a holographic targeting system appeared immediately followed by a dart shooting into Saikos neck "that should do it" Nightwing replied. They then strung Saiko up in a snare and net using Spider-mans webbing and returned to the car "hey kid, if you've screwed up my car in anyway with that stunt you pulled I'm going to kick the crap out of you"

After returning to the lair and shedding their suits Dick proceeded to hook himself up to anesthetics while Barbra stitched him up "are you ever going to grow up?" she sneered at him "honestly Dick you have nothing but utter contempt of your own mortality, you are not immortal as much as you believe you are you can die if you keep being reckless boy wonder!" try as she might to cover it Barbra was showing signs compassion as she wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and throwing the cloth into the pile of blood stained bandages.

"Boy wonder? HA!" Peter yelled from his spot in the laboratory down below. Dick very casually picked up one of his wing dings and threw it at Peter "OW! That hurt!"

Barbra finished stitching Dick up and left him to get dressed while she tried to find info on Saiko since Dick was keeping that connection very quiet. But a red flag on the monitor caught her attention. A woman in a white cat suit with grey stripes was poking around of what remained of Deadpool's apartment. "Uh boys! You should see this!" Barbra called back "looks like Selina traded in her skank suit for something more concealing" she scoffed.

But as Peter glanced up at the screen he dropped the beaker he was holding letting it shatter at his feet, and a pitted feeling started eating away at his stomach…the gut wrenching feeling of unmatchable fear "oh dear god no" he squeaked "Dick, any chance you have a safe house with reinforced titanium walls, doors and super sensitive automated stun turrets?" he thoughtlessly blurted "you guys are laughing but we all know how this is going to end…she's going to skin me and hang my pelt on her wall"

(Cutaway- Chibi white tiger is sitting quietly reading a book in front of a little fire with Chibi spidey pelt mounted over the mantle "I love our quiet reading time together spidey you're such a better listener now")

Dick slid down the stair railing from the medical landing to the computer level checking out the woman in the cat suit with a familiar investigative expression causing Barbra to shudder in her seat. "That's creepy Dick very creepy" she whispered,

"That's not Selina. This girl is just that a girl maybe 17, and she's not as balanced as Selina…a copycat at best" Dick replied.

"That's no copycat!" Peter shouted up "but her presence isn't exactly savoury for me. Her names white Tiger and if she's here then I am screwed"

Dick shot Peter a cocky smile with just a hint of totally going to screw with you vibe "you're scared of this girl? A guy with rockets and claws who nearly cuts us up like a couple of turkeys is no big deal but a girl in a cat suit freaks you out…you're a virgin aren't you?"

Peter dropped the test tube in his other hand to the floor and puckered his lips like he wanted to tell Dick off but Barbra beat him do it.

"Dick quit being a dick, besides if memory serves boy wonder you weren't much younger than he is when you danced with me between the sheets"

"Okay! T.M.I!" Peter cringed. "And for the record I've slept with plenty of women!"

"Well now that's smart in this day and age" Dick sarcastically replied.

"You met Felicia last night right?" Peter shot back.

"Ok boys put them back in your pants" Barbra ordered "Peter you know this girl yes?"

"Yeah, she's part of my team back in New York. I'm amazed she tracked me here" Peter replied

Dick pulled a shirt over his head and started down the stairs to the main floor "if she's looking for you how long before she finds you when were out looking for this Deadpool creep?" he asked assertively. A tone Barbra was used to just not from him

"Dick…I hope I'm wrong about you" she thought to herself.

"She'll find us sooner or later" Peter shrugged "look I'll call her and find a way to send her home" he finished.

Dick rubbed his ribs where Saiko stabbed him then looked at the frozen image of white Tiger, she looked to have claws and since they would at some point need Barbra on the streets again helping find the venom factory and lab another set of sharp eyes would be an asset "maybe she can help us, but on my terms until I say so she doesn't learn mine and Babs identities and gets blind folded when we come to the lair"

"Yeah he can try that one. Cleary he has no idea who Tiger is…this should be good"

The car fired up behind Peter causing him to slightly jump "does nobody say get in the car around here?" he asked running up to the slowly departing car.

The car sped along a short tunnel exiting into an old water city canal instantly changing from Nightwing's colors to solid black "dude I so want this car" Peter drooled.

"After that stunt with Saiko you're lucky you're not riding in the trunk!" Dick asserted "so how do we find your friend? Shake a pack of Whiskas cat treats?"

Peter tried to hold down a snicker but a couple small snorts escaped past his hands "oh please tell her that when you meet her I want see her kick your ass" he laughed. "But knowing Tiger she likely has her communicator which means…" Peter started dialing in on his tracking screen after a few seconds a red icon appeared "…I can track her. She's wow 6 blocks away, girls making good time traveling around an unfamiliar city"

White Tiger was free running through the city keeping high above the streets unlike New York BludHaven seemed like it was sculpted for the sport. So far all she had learned was that Spider-man was spotted near an apartment bombing followed by a fight between him, a man in a black rubber body suit and another one in a green suit. But now she was having trouble he didn't bring his communicator so Shield couldn't help track him and it was getting late or early she had lost track. "Come on Web head where are you?" she audibly asked with a heavy sigh she continued leaping across the building gaps. The wind rustled through her ponytail as she sailed across the gap to the next building but Tiger failed to see the broken ledge and lost her footing. She free fell back to street level quickly flipping in mid-air to land on her feet only tiger didn't land on her feet out of the dark came a black muscle car and tiger hit the hood with a thunderous crash causing the driver to slam on the brakes and throw her a few feet in front of the car.

Peter braced himself against the force of the brake but his eyes remained fixed on the white lump in the street "Tiger!" he screamed

"I swear I didn't mean to…she came out of nowhere" Dick pleaded following Peter out of the car.

Tiger lay there motionless when Peter rolled her over and lifted her mask to see her half lidded eyes, a wave of relief washed over him when he realised she was ok just severely dazed "web head?" Tiger whispered "you jerk" Tiger passed out in his arms and Peter carried her back to the car.

"Well she won't need a blind fold" Dick joked folding up Peter's seat so he could put tiger in the back

"Dude too soon" Peter deadpanned.

the heroes seem to be on the right path with Deadpool, despite the interference from Saiko.

Peter is jealous that Dick has his own franchise mobile.

and Ava's finally run into the web head or rather he ran into her (do not wanna be him when she wakes up do you?)

wonder how Ava and the D.C heroes will get along?

still to come:

the merc with the mouth has a run in with the guy with the fastest mouth.

an angry Tiger wakes up to a strange place and demands answers from a familiar face.

and 3 cats and a bat all with shared attractions with the bird and a bug (or arachnid whatever you wanna call him)
