Disclaimer: I do not own neither Batman nor Spiderman

"Hey ugly, I didn't say you could leave."After saying this spidey shot two web lines at the hulking reptile's shoulders and pulled, sending croc stumbling towards him and kicking him in the face. Crocs roared in anger and moved forward to grab Spiderman but the hero simply back flipped and shot a web into the beast's eyes.

"First you punched me and then you want to give me a hug. I think you may have a bipolar disorder" Croc bite at the place the voice was coming from but the hero had already ducked and punched him at the gut. "Or maybe you just want a snicker, who knows?"Croc pulled the webs from his eyes and lunged at spidey swiping his razor sharp claws at him but to no avail as Spiderman just dodge every blow with ease while faking a yawn."Stand still!" croc screamed in rage as he simply couldn't touch the red and blue hero. "Wow you can talk! That's a new one. I always tough you reptile-people weren't great conversationalist" The beast roared again and continued its assault. "And again I'm proved right."

Despite the fact that he was teleported to who-knows-where and that he was immediately attacked by a Lizard wannabe, spidey had to admit that he was rather enjoying himself. It was always fun to fight new villains (even if the lacked the basic intelligence to form complete sentences). But he still needed to find where he was, so he decided to end the fight already and start looking for answers. He jumped over croc and landed on its back sticking himself at it with his feet. Then he shot two webs to a wall and web-zipped at it crushing croc between his feet and the aforementioned wall. When croc felled to the ground knocked out cold and spidey secured him with his web the crowd of people watching the fight roared and applauded, spidey turned to them and said in an awful imitation of a TV celebrity "Crickey, it looks like we got ourselves a big fat one." He shot a web to the nearest building and disappeared into the city.

Nightwing was perched on top of a gargoyle brooding (After all his mentor was like the world champion at this) and looking at the city he grew up in, he hadn't been in Gotham since Barbara was shot a couple of months ago and he felt like a jerk for not being there for her. Truth be told since their breakup things hadn't been the same between them (In fact it was one of the main reasons he went to Bludhaven and started his solo career in crime fighting) and the fact that she and Kory were such good friends just make things all the more awkward. He only came here because Batman asked him to come help him discuss some issues with the league and he'd been avoiding Barbara ever since. What could he tell her anyways? "Sorry for being such and a-hole to you, oh, and also for the whole you being paraplegic deal."No he didn't now what to say an thus he was brooding and hoping some criminal would be stupid enough to try something tonight. He was pulled from this train of thought when he received a call trough his secure line.

"Nightwing here" he said.

"Nightwing we have a situation" a female voice he knew all too well said on the phone.

"Barbara?"

"It's Oracle now." She corrected him.

"Look, I'm…" Nightwing started.

"Don't…; we have more pressing matters to attend." She interrupted. Her voice was cold and distant.

"Batman's missing"

"What?"

"He just disappeared, went off the grid."

"That doesn't sound like Bru…Wait a minute. That totally sounds like him."Nightwing said.

"Have you tried contacting the League?"

"I have, they don't know where he is either:"

"What was his last known location?" Nightwing asked.

"Just outside Ace Chemicals"

"On it." He said and leaped from the roof.

Now that the cold breeze filled his lungs as he swung above the street Spidey felt like he could address the problem at hand. Where was he? And how did he got here? He glanced at the city trying to spot a Landmark that would tell him where he was. "Wayne Enterprises" he muttered "Never heard of them." Gotham's Gazette? Gotham? He hadn't heard of that city before, but his strong suit was science not geography. As he continued to swing aimlessly from building to building he spotted a man wearing a black suit of armor with a blue bird logo on the chest and a domino mask covering his face. The man was signaling him to come down, he dropped down on the roof right in front of the man and greeted him.

"Hi there, huh, hum…bird…dude?"

"It's Nightwing. Who are you?"

"I'm your friendly neighbor Spiderman, but most people just call me Spidey… or Annoying."

A slight smile formed on Nightwing's lips. "You must be new. How on earth did you convince Batman to let you operate in Gotham?"

Spiderman laughed. "Huh? Buddy I'm been doing this for ten years. Besides, who's that Batman? And why should I ask for his blessing."

"How can you not know about Batman?" Nightwing looked at the colorful vigilante in shock.

"He's a founding member of the Justice League"

"What's the Justice League?" Spidey asked. Nightwing was looking at him now with his eyes wide open.

"They're Earth's greatest heroes!" He was now shouting.

"Ah, you mean the Avengers. Though I've never heard anyone calling them the Justice League."

"What now?" Nightwing was thoroughly confused.

"You know: Thor, Iron man, Ant-man, She-Hulk?"

"Never heard of those guys before."

It was then that Spidey realized what had happened to him. "No, nonononnoononono...No! This can't be happening, not again."

"¡ WHY DOES THIS CRAP KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME!" He punched the wall leaving a crater the size of a manhole cover. Nightwing adopted a battle stance and slowly approached him.

"Dude, calm down. What's the matter?" Nightwing asked in a soothing tone. Spiderman looked at his eyes and said: "I think I'm from another dimension."

In a dark room, surrounded by monitors, Barbara Gordon was sulking and feeling useless. She was sick and tired of everyone she knew looking at her with pity: Bruce, her father, Tim, Kara, Kory. At least Dick hadn't said how sorry he was yet, and she wasn't going to let him. He'd been acting like a douchebag but she preferred he did that and not what everyone else was doing. Her legs weren't working and she knew there was no way she could return to fight crimes on the streets, but the least she could do was to provide tech support. She leaned forward and called Dick.

"Nightwing, there are people calling the police about a vigilante wearing red and blue spandex, they said he tossed killer croc around like a ragdoll. He apparently appeared just after Batman vanished. Be careful, he's probably a meta.

"Dude, did you seriously beat killer croc." She heard over the speaker.

"You mean that big, ugly, scaly designer purse. Yep, it was me" another voice said.

"Wait, you're with him?" Barbara asked.

"Yes, I'm taking him to the cave."

"You're doing what?" she yelled.

"Look, red, trust me, I'll explain everything when we get there."

"Fine." She said "But if Batman finds out…when Batman finds out, I'm throwing you under the bus."

15 minutes earlier

"OH MY GOSH! Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! This is so coooool!" The little being dressed in a batman costume was hovering all around Nightwing, poking him and taking pictures. Nightwing had heard of him before, Batman told him he was a real nuisance. That was definitely the understatement of the century.

"You're so cool. I mean you're not Batman but stiiill." The imp said.

"What are you doing here?" Nightwing asked gruffly.

"Oh right." The little being looked at Spiderman.

"SPIDERMAN! You're hereby informed that you had been selected to compete against *adoring sigh* Batman, in a test to prove which one of you is the greatest hero of all realities *cough*Batman*cough*. The winner will be decided upon completing feats of both heroic and daring nature."

"What?" Spiderman asked not believing what he just had heard.

"You mean to tell me that I was sent here to be part of a stupid game."

"It's not stupid." Bat-Mite pouted.

"Besides, once the winner is decided you'll both return to your respective universes, no harm done."

"OH, I get it's all right then, I mean it's not like I have a family, or a job, or a bunch of deranged lunatics trying to harm me trough the ones I love." Spiderman was at this point trying to keep his cool.

"Not my problem." Bat-Mite said and disappeared with a *puff* sound.

Nightwing approached to him "Hey, it's going to be alright."

"Come, I'll take you to the cave"

"Cave? What cave?" Spidey asked.

"The Bat-Cave" Nightwing answered his question with a wide grin.

A/N: I honestly didn't think I'd have the chapter ready by now, but it jus kinda wrote itself.

Again if you like this story or you have some constructive criticism that can help me improve please leave a review.

Next chapter won't have any fighting scenes, it'll just be Batman doing some good ol' fashion detectivying.

I just realized after posting this chapter that I've commited the most horrendous crime an author can: Deus ex Machina and also I went a little OOC with Spidey's tantrum.
