Nightbird and Rudy Panther- who will win? Who will lose? Who will choke on the fluff that's in this story?

A Hero and His Nemesis
Blaine is sulking.
Blaine never sulks; not since he got to New York, at least. Kurt was always able to make him feel better about running out of his favorite ice cream, or a bad day, or miss July's class.
Until now, that is.
"Why are you sulking?" he asks, sitting down on the couch next to Blaine and wrapping his arms around his tiny waist.
Blaine shrugs.
"B. What's wrong?" Kurt nuzzles his neck. "I'm here for you, you know. It's okay," he whispers gently.
"It's just stupid," he says, moving to sit in Kurt's lap, pouting as he lays his head on Kurt's shoulder. "Nevermind."
"It's not stupid if it makes you upset, baby."
"Fine, fine," he sighs. "ImissNightbirdokay?"
Kurt frowns. "What was that?"
"I miss Nightbird! I miss being a hero, even if it's just for a little while. And I miss doing amazing things, and wearing my costume, and sneaking places, and climbing roofs, and… and I miss him, okay? I just do."
"Aw, honey," Kurt strokes his face. "He'll find his way back to you, I promise."
And so he does.
A week later, Blaine's almost forgotten all about their conversation- until he comes back from work to an empty apartment, a yellow Post-it note waiting for him by the coat rack.
It reads,
If you ever want to see your fiancé again, Nightbird, come face me on the roof at dusk.
-The Ruby Panther
Blaine just smiles so big it hurts his cheeks, and goes to get dressed.
Not ten minutes later, Nightbird is climbing onto the roof; he notices Ruby Panther immediately, wearing a red latex suit and a cape that's moving with the soft, hot breeze. His bright red mask is hiding his true identity, and Nightbird awed by Panther's stunning appearance. He jumps over the low railing and approaches Panther, who smirks at him.
"Does little Nightbird miss his fiancé?
Blaine's heart flutters with playful joy, but Nightbird goes into a fight stance and demands, "give him back!"
"Maybe. Don't worry, I won't hurt him, I just want to have a little fun! I know your fiancé loves having fun… but he seemed rather upset when I took him away. And told him he'd never see you again…" Ruby Panther cocks his head to the side, a knowing grin on his face.
"You can't keep me away from him!" Nightbird snarls.
"You want him back, don't you?" Panther teases. "Then face me like a man!"
"Oh, I will," says Nightbird and jumps at Panther, tackling him down and pushing him against the concrete; once their eyes meet, they both break into careless laughter.
Blaine looks at his fiancé's smiling face and can't feel anything other than pure happiness. "Thank you," he says, and kisses Kurt softly; but then Kurt's face turns dark again.
"What for? Getting you to give in?" he says in a low voice, and starts tickling Blaine, making him cry out with laughter.
"I-I'm not giving in!" calls Blaine and fights back, tickling Kurt through his latex outfit, and they rolls around for a while, laughing and tickling and yelling out things like "It's not over yet!" and "You will never win!" until they get tired, and then just lie there, gasping for air and smiling, kissing each other on every bare space of skin.
