Spider-man: Christmas with Two Hawks

Natural Predator

"Jesus Christ, kid. How long were you back there?" Clint questioned as he tore through his tape bindings and leapt off the unicorn, and immediately kicked the nearest tracksuit. Another tried to hit him with a baton but Clint blocked it and elbowed the guy, causing blood to begin pouring out.

"However long it's been since Kate fell through the skylight," Spidey answered as he blocked a kick from a furious-looking Maya Lopez.

So maybe, just maybe, jumping in without thinking wasn't the best idea. Now they were being surrounded by all the tracksuits. Spider-man was glad that Clint could break free from his bindings to help him. Even without his signature bow and arrow, Clint was a formidable opponent. The trained S.H.I.E.L.D. agent effortlessly knocked them aside whenever a Tracksuit tried to rush him. It was like watching a tired teenager fighting off an army of little cousins.

"Mind telling me how the hell you did that?" Kate demanded as she desperately tried to rip her hands out of her own bindings. 

Clint chose to do the default option and ignored Kate. Instead, he kicked a thug to the floor and instructed Spider-man, "Keep them busy. I need to get our stuff!"

Spidey gave the archer a thumbs up, signalling that he understood.  Maya didn't appreciate being ignored so she did the only reasonable thing that she could think of. She pulled out her gun and tried to shoot Spider-man point blank. Spidey dodged by tilting his head to the side and then slapping the firearm out of Maya's hands.

Maya didn't like that one bit. Her eyes scanned the room. After a second of looking, she ran after Clint. Her partner immediately ordered some of the guys to follow them, with a few of them responding with "Got it, Kazi!"

"Kazi? For real? That's your name. It sounds like your parents wanted your name to sound unique but were too lazy to come up with something good. Kevin would've been better." Spidey stated as he webbed one of the Tracksuit's feet to the floor, causing him to crash to the floor. Spidey added some more shots of webbing to make sure that he stayed down. Not even a second later, he leant back to avoid a swinging pipe and sweeped the guy off his feet.

Spider-man was barely even paying attention to his other senses, relying solely on Spidey Sense instead of the rest of his senses. He developed a habit after the Battle of the Statue of Liberty. During prolonged fights, he would let his instincts take over, wanting to avoid any mistakes he usually makes while conscious. However, anyone with a habit of blacking out can tell you how confusing returning to consciousness can be.

So when his Spidey Sense stopped ringing, Spider-man was left perplexed. He was surrounded by a few dozen semi-conscious thugs, some pinned to the ground and others simply in too much pain to get up. There were still a small handful of guys in the room still in fighting condition, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack him.

"What's wrong? Did you idiots finally grow some brain cells?" Spidey mocked, his mask hiding the fact that his eyes were trained at a stunned and adorable Kate Bishop. 

The Tracksuits didn't respond in any way beyond smirks and glares. It was a rare case of good luck that Spidey decoded the meaning behind the sudden widening of Kate's eyes and the opening of her mouth. As if on queue, his Spidey Sense began to ring but the hero was already twisting his body into an unnatural position to avoid the sudden attack from the ceiling.

A dark green metallic limb similar to the arms used by Doctor Octopus, but also completely different. Instead of the tip being a claw, it was home to what looked like a large pod with a sharp end. The limb itself looked smoother. While the doctor's arms looked like an endoskeleton to an 80's animatronic, this looked similar to Iron Man's later armours, right before he perfected nanobots. Mark 40 - 47 specifically.
