Fallen Friend

Bank Raid

The calm atmosphere that afternoon in New York, or at least one as any New Yorker might call it, was suddenly shattered with large-scale bank heist being undertaking. What was most fearful for the innocent civilians was that these criminals weren't simply the usual stereotype criminals that many would think of first, these criminals were not only well organized but were armed with some truly fearsome weapons that even the police force could do very little to stop them. No prizes as to guessing whom these senseless folks were and where the weapons had come from.

It was of great relief when the citizens looked upwards and saw New York's two crime fighters swinging overhead and making a dive towards the under siege bank. However, even the two heroes were stunned by the overwhelming number of criminals raiding the bank, clearly this was without question to Spider-Man and Black Cat the most well organized raid, even so their professional nature in all this was startling.

What was more amazing to the spandex clad hero was that the bank they had arrived at was the very same bank in which Doc Ock had attacked and briefly taking Aunt May hostage. Surely this couldn't be coincidence, right? With the memories coming back, he had to quickly shake them away and concentrate on the criminals currently raiding the place, though he couldn't help but think in the back of his mind if the reason why the criminals were raiding this certain bank was coincidence, or something else in mind...

"Don't let any escape!" Spider-Man called out to Black Cat as they landed near of group of looters and began battling them. "We have to find out why they're doing this for!"

"But there's so many of them!" Black Cat replied as she fended off one such thug and made him hot the ground. "How are we going to stop them all?"

Despite the vixen's major doubts, Spider-Man felt the situation was in their grasp, despite how overwhelming things we're stack against them. "Just do as I say! The more we can take down then the cops will be able to bring in more reinforcements to help us."

"They better be damn quick then," Black Cat retorted as she looked over seeing a mob of about ten guys heading inside the bank with those dangerous weapons and firing at the large vault. "...They better be damn quick indeed..."

Just then Black Cat was caught out of her thoughts when he heard of the gangsters barked out orders. "It's the webhead and the crazy cat bitch, get 'em!"

With seemly a quarter of the mob there, they all turned their attacks on the vigilantes. Once more Spider-Man and Black Cat were fighting back-to-back trying to fend of the criminals. "God damn these cops better be here soon," Black Cat muttered to herself as she prayed to hear the sound of police sirens heading their way, an irony considering her original cat burglar lifestyle.

Not surprisingly with their impressive fighting skills, they were putting on a great show in fending of the thugs. It only took a short while for them to defeat the criminal mob before the two heroes turned their attention at the criminals that were heading inside the building and towards the vault.

As they headed inside, they were greeted with the sight of chaos. To say the whole bank had been turned upside down was saying it too lightly. Never mind that the alarm was blaring out, most of the criminals were trying to break down the vault while some were covering their backs by firing at the security guards, but most frightening of all, some criminals had members of the public held at gunpoint.

Spider-Man looked over to Black Cat. "Forget the vault, get the hostages out to safety."

Black Cat nodded and replied jokingly to herself, "Pity I'm not getting a peak what's inside the vault though..."

In a matter of seconds, the pair pounced on the captives while they somehow managed for the hostages not to get injured. At this point, Spider-Man had just managed to take down one such thug, knocking him out with a single punch to the face, before he gazed towards the vault, the criminals had surprisingly managed to cause a lot of damage to the vault. The large steel door look so badly beaten that it could've fallen off its hinges at any moment.
