The Bat and the Spider (A Batman and Spiderman Crossover)

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

Peter walked through the streets of Gotham, still wearing the clothes. He felt pretty bad about stealing them, and he'd remembered where he'd taken them from so that once he got the money, he could put them back. He had thought about taking a picture or two for the local newspaper, but then thought better of it. He didn't want to steal a camera too. 

He walked down the streets with hopelessness. A second later, his spidey senses went crazy. He looked around, trying to see where the danger was coming from. A second later, the building across the street went up in flames. Without thinking about it, Peter ran to the nearest alley, taking off the clothing and placing the gloves and mask on. He put the clothes behind the dumpster, and let out a rope and flung into the building. When he got there, he was definitely not expecting to see Otto Octavius, better known as Doctor Octopus. 

"Whoa, what are you doing here?" Peter landed down on the ground in front of him. 

"Hello, little spider..." Otto gave him a smirk. Out of nowhere, one of his arms sprang at Spiderman. He dodged, thanks to his spider sense, swinging the arm to hit Octavius. He staggered backward a little, but other than that, was unfazed. "Oh please, you're off your game." 

His spider sense went off again, but before he could turn around, he felt talons grab his arms. He was lifted up before he even had the chance to do anything, and flown out of the building. He didn't need to turn around to know that it was the Vulture who had grabbed him. That much was obvious. Where he was taking him, now that was the true question. 

Once he got to the harbor, he realized pretty quick. He was planning to drop him off into the ocean. Good thing Tony had reinstalled his parachute for him...

That was it! Why had he not thought of it before! He could contact Tony! Maybe Tony could figure this thing out. But at the moment, he needed a plan. Vulture let go, and he started plummeting. "KArrEn! DepLoy tHe ParAcHutE!" He shouted as he came closer and closer to the water. 

"Right away sir." Karren responded. Not a second later, the parachute formed out of the webbing, slowing the fall as he slowly descended towards the harbor.

Same Time as when this chapter began-

Dick Grayson, AKA Nightwing, was on patrol duty with Jason. Jason had tried to insist that he could do it alone, but Bruce had said he wanted Dick there to make sure he didn't kill anyone, which to be fair, was a pretty good argument. Now he was stuck watching Jason as he was cleaning his guns. 

"You realize-" 

"I'm not gonna shoot them in any vital organs." Jason frowned, cutting Dick off before he could finish his sentence. Before much else could be said, they saw a building explode. Without a word, both of them raced towards the building. Just as they got there, some sort of flying dude had lifted a kid in a red suit out, but there was still some other guy with a bunch of arms. 

"I'll go after metal arms, you go make sure the kids safe." Dick whispered to Jason, who nodded. As Jason ran behind flying dude, Dick shot out towards the guy with the arms. 

"Ah, a new contestant! What? Shield decided the Avengers weren't dangerous enough?" The man gave a cruel smirk. 

"What's shield?" Dick asked, genuinely curious.

"Oh, so you aren't affiliated with the spies. Oh well, guess I'll have to kill you anyways." The man shrugged, one of his arms flying straight for him. Dick easily dodged, mocking a yawn.
