Batman and Spider-Man

Chapter 4

Annoyed, the Penguin fired his gun attached to his umbrella. Spider-Man leaped in the air, shooting a web at the umbrella, yanking it upwards.

"Hey why do you need this?" Spider-Man asked. "It's not raining. Are you okay up there?"

The Penguin stumbled back, Spider-Man holding the umbrella. Spider-Man fiddled with it, causing it to fire and shattered a window. The crowd let out a gasp. Penguin's goons took it as a signal to start firing at Spider-Man.

Spider-Man started dodging the bullets, weaving in and out of the bullets crawling across the wall and leaping from side to side. Glass panes shattered, there were holes in the walls and the glass sculptures exploded into bits.

Spider-Man landed at the centre of all the goons. "Guys can we stop damaging Mr. Wayne's property." Spider-Man attached his web to one of the goons. "If Mr. Wayne sues I doubt any of you would be able to afford it."

He grabbed the goon like a featherweight and spun him around, the goon hit his fellow thugs across the face with his gun, knocking them down. By the time Spider-Man was done using him as a wrecking ball, he was unconscious.

It was at that moment, the crowd decided to scatter making Spider-Man's job even harder. The thugs started firing at them but Spider-Man was faster, darting across them like an acrobat, disarming them and knocking them out making sure they didn't kill anybody.

The Penguin took this distraction as an opportunity, gathering some of his thugs who dragged Brucie-boy away, knocking him across the face as he struggled against their grip. Bruce crumpled on the floor. Penguin dragged a gun from one of his men and fired wildly into the air in order to stir more panic.

"On no you don't," Spider-Man said. He swooped in from the air in order to try and get Bruce away from the Penguin but in a rare moment of co-ordination started aiming at him, causing Spider-Man to swerve away from them.

Penguin pulled out a walkie talkie. "Skinner, bring the truck and let's get the hell outta here."

Spider-Man swung towards Penguin but Penguin pointed his gun at him and fired. Spider-Man leaped out of the way as the bullet struck a chandelier causing it to plummet downwards. One unfortunate bystander was under it but before the chandelier could get to him Spider-Man swooped in and got him out of the way.

Standing in front of Spider-Man was an old man with greying red hair and long moustache whose face Peter saw in a lot of newspapers.

"You alright, Commissioner?" Spider-Man asked.

"Yes," Commissioner Gordon mumbled, mumbling something about how people in masks are popping up like flies under his breath. "Have you seen my daughter, Barbara? Red hair, green eyes."

"No, I haven't, Commish," Spider-Man said, in all the excitement he'd almost forgotten about Barbara and Dick. He wondered if they made it out safely but saving Bruce Wayne was his top priority right now. "But I'll tell you if I do."

Gordon nodded. "Thanks, Spider boy."

"It's Spider-Man," Spider-Man corrected.

"You don't act it," Gordon said, pulling out a cigarette.

Spider-Man swung away. Gordon took out his phone, calling Hennelly.

"Hennelly, call in SWAT," Gordon said. "Penguin has been sighted at the Wayne Manor. He has Bruce Wayne in his custody."

Gordon took another swig of his cigarette to calm his nerves and started looking around the manor for his daughter. This was looking to be one hell of a night.

...

Outside the manor, cars zoomed around in a panicked frenzy. People were screaming and shouting into their phones and crowding around cars, begging for rides home. Meanwhile Spider-Man saw Penguin amidst the frenzied crowd from his vantage point on the mansion, firing his gun into the air to clear people out. He sauntered towards a truck. Spider-Man immediately broke into a run, sprinting towards the truck to make sure it didn't get away.
