First Encounter
The night's cool air had settled down in Manhattan. It's sky was still pitch black but stars had started to shine. A breeze was flowing through the air and it seemed still. The thought of the events that had been occuring continued to file through. It had been a week since that day. Many had gone to analyze what had happened and were still searching for answers.
However, despite everything that was going on, crime was still being done. And who was better to take care of it except your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Swinging from web to web on a simple patrol he cruised through the buildings of Manhattan. Eventually, someone in fact did attempt a bank robbery. "Finally, something to break the uneasiness." the webslinger spoke as he went to make his appearance.
The thugs were making their way to the get away car, when suddenly one of them was pulled away and recieved an uppercut which sent them flying into the air. "Look! It's Spider-Man!" one of the thugs yelled as he went to pull out his fire arm.
"Aw, you sound so surprised." Parker replied as he spun a web taking out the thugs gun. There was five of them and he fought with them. Eventually, taking them out and emerging victorious. He had webbed them all up and hanged them from a nearby light post. "All in a night's work." Peter said to himself slapping his hands together.
He picked up the bags to place them back into the shop when his spider sense went off. He dropped the bags and quickly jumped onto the wall of the building. His eyes looking at the object that was flung at him. He examined it for a brief moment before he had to move yet again. However, he wasn't able to avoid the kick that was landed on him.
He landed on the ground sliding some distance away. He glanced up at the figure that had assaulted him. "Oh, great. Who are you and what's with the outfit?" Spider-Man asked.
The figure was that of a young man, who had a decent build. He had long black hair and his eyes were whited out. A mask covered the upper portion of his face, but didn't cover his forehead. He wore an outfit of black and had a blue bird of sorts on the front with it's wings spanning onto the shoulders. It was the one known as Nightwing. "That's exactly what I was going to ask you?" he replied, "But seeing as you were doing the robbery, I'm sure the police have some questions for you."
"The police?" the webslinger replied, "Look, pal. I don't have any business with them. Doesn't the blue and red outfit ring any bells?"
"Unless you're Superman, which you're not, I think I'm going to turn you in." Nightwing replied.
"Well, sorry to ruin your hopes, but I'm getting out of here." Spider-Man spoke. He then spun a web and took off into the sky swinging from building to building once again. "Man, what was his..." he was talking to himself but paused as his web line was cut and he had to create a new one.
He looked behind him to see Nighwing chasing him using a grappling hook instead. "You've got to be kidding me." Parker stated as he started swinging away at a greater speed. However, Nightwing was gaining ground on the webslinger. It was a matter of moments before Nightwing went to lay a punch on Spider-man. But the spider dropped to a lower roof top allowing him to dodge the attack.
Nightwing followed suit but went for a more aggressive drop kick. Spider-Man caught Nightwing's legs and then tossed him into the door of the ceiling exit. "Well, it looks like this isn't going to be avoided." Spider-man spoke as he dodged to projectiles that were thrown at him. Nightwing charged back at the wall-crawler after landing on his two feet with a skid. He landed a successful punch and then went for a roundhouse kick.
Spider-man countered with his own, his right leg meeting Nightwing's leg. Spider-man then used it to turn around and attempt to deliver a punch to his opponent's head. Which Nightwing blocked with his own arms. Nightwing, lowered his leg and grabbed a hold of Spider-man while he turned his body and threw the arachnid into the air. He then jumped into the air himself in an attempt to attack Spiderman, while he was air borne. However, Parker's spider reflexs allowed him to move while in the air and counter Nightwing's attack.
They both landed on the roof top and on their backs. Nightwing was the first to get up, but Spider-man got up faster than Nightwing did. Nightwing threw some more projectiles at Spider-man, who dodged them yet again. However, Nightwing tackled him and held him as they came back around and hit the webslinger from behind. They cut his skin and caused blood to flow.
Tackle caused both of them to go into a freefall towards the ground. Nightwing launched a grappling hook while Spider-man kicked free from his hold and spun a web to stop his fall. He then launched another web at Nightwing around his body and eventually wrapping up entirely into a cacoon like object.
As Spider-man was about to go and investigate who this individual was, the cops showed up and he left before any questions could be asked. As the spot light moved away from where Spider-man was at. It moved towards a cacoon that was cut open with one of the projectiles that Nightwing was using and no one inside.
