Peter Parker took his mask, deactivating the suit due to the full circuit being seperated.

"What was it this time?" Selina asked as she walked into her room and started getting dressed. Peter put the mask onto the table and began taking the web shooters off his wrists.

"Harvey's guys. They were smashing up a laundromat that had cash stuffed in the walls. I assume it's meant to be a front for money laundering from another gang," Peter replied as he took off his gloves and put them down next to the mask as he start pulling his arms out through his suit's sleeves.

"No one saw you change right?" Selina said as she came out in normal clothing. A black dress with a purple cat on a necklace, with black tights up to her thigh underneath the dress along with a pair of purple heels.

"Nope. I even hid my work clothes in the duffle bag. I can just swing back over and change into Peter Parker before anyone can recognize the mystery vigilante in an alleyway by the precinct," Peter said as he let the metallic fabric suit fall down his body, revealing his lean but muscled body. Peter hopped onto the ceiling, using his hands to hold him as he lifted his legs up and out of the suit. Selina could see the bruises on his body.

"You hit yourself again didn't you?" Selina said with a discouraging tone.

"If you know another way to properly catch a shotgun that you threw towards yourself, I'd love to hear it," Peter joked as he took the Spider-Man boots off.

"Maybe don't catch it and try to use the shotgun like a slingshot?" Selina suggested. Peter had this dumbfounded look on his face.

"I don't know why I never thought of that. I'll keep that in mind," Peter said as Selina yanked him to a chair and sat him down. She went and grabbed a roll of elastic bandages along with some menthol gel. Where the bruises were, she rubbed some menthol gel onto them and when she covered every bruise she starts wrapping Peter's torso in the elastic bandages. He winced a bit as the bandages pressed in on the bruises.

"Relax. They'll only hurt for a minute. The gel should numb the pain," Selina said as she pulled the bandages to bind them.

"You have another dinner date?" Peter asked, noticing how she's dressed.

"Yep. Don't stay up too late checking the police scanners. Get some rest, lay down and met yourself heal," Selina instructed as she left the apartment. Peter rolled his eyes and laid down on the sofa, turning on the television to try and relax.

Batman was heading back to the Cave, when the phone in the Batmobile started ringing. He saw the number on the screen, Selina's. He turned of the cowl's voice modulator and answered the phone.

"Hello?" Bruce said.

"Hey Bruce. It's Selina. I might be a bit late to dinner, my brother got into a fight and I had to patch him up before I left," Selina said. This caught Bruce off guard. He didn't know Selina had a brother...or any siblings for that matter. He decided to bring that up at the actual table instead of just over the phone. Alfred was trying to call in on another line.

"Don't worry Selina. Family is important. Call me when you get there," Bruce said as he and Selina hung up their phone. Bruce switched to the line where Alfred is calling on.

"Master Wayne, Commissioner Gordon has inquiries for you involving the Spider-Man case. Perhaps you could inform him of what you've learned in your encounter with him," Alfred said to Bruce.

"I'll head right to the precinct then. Thanks Alfred," Bruce thanked as he changed course to the GCPD precinct, turning the modulator back on. He pulled into the parking garage and leapt out of the parking garage and walked into the precinct.
