"What the-" the man looked confused for a second, he turned around when suddenly Matt's fist collided with his jaw throwing him flying backward.
I landed in front of him and threw the knife aside. I looked him over, "I don't like it the costume."
He smiled, "it's a work in progress."
"Sure," I looked around and found Claire Temple peeking from behind an air vent, "hello! If you please miss, we are two highly professional heroes! It would be best if you went back inside."
"She's with me," Matt replied as he grabbed the criminal and pulled him to the roof.
"She is?" I asked.
"I am?" Claire replied before she turned to me with wide eyes, "you're Spider-man," she turned to Matt, "you know Spider-man?!"
"It's a long story," Matt replied.
"I broke into his house," I told her with a shrug, "he didn't like it. Kicked my ass all over the floor."
"How did you find me?" Matt asked.
"I was looking around for a kid, names Stephen, I was looking for you to get some help, since this your territory and all," I shrugged.
He smiled, "didn't realise I made a name for myself."
"Yeah, never did get your code name thought, what is it? Night man?" I chuckled.
"Cute," Matt slapped the man awake. He grabbed him by the collar and pulled him on the roof's edge and pushed him, holding him tightly, "where's the child?!"
"I-I don't know man!" the mobster called out, "I swear!"
"You're lying!" Matt punched him across the face.
Claire winced, she turned to me, "can't you stop him?"
I sighed, "it's either this or let a child die. What do you think?"
Mat went on and on, slowly breaking the man. He finally admitted where the kid was and Matt pushed him off the roof. I gasped, jumping over the roof, throwing a web line just in time to catch the man before he hit the garbage can under him.
I laid him down gently and checked on his vitals. Other than a very erratic heartbeat and a sprained ankle and a dozen other problems, he was alive.
I went back up and glared at Matt, "what is your problem man?!"
"What? He's alive," Matt shrugged.
Claire looked at me, "is he always like this?"
"Honestly? You know him better than me," I sighed before turning to him, "you got a place at least?"
Matt nodded as he moved to the fire escape, "are you coming?"
"Sure! Unless you don't want me too."
He sighed, "it's a free world."
"Yay! Our very first team up!" I chuckled as I followed him from rooftop to rooftop, parkouring the shit out of the neighborhood.
We reached a run down looking building. Matt pauses for a while before pointing at the third floor, "can you get us there?"
We were across the street, "no problem. You want to go stealth or make some noise?"
"Noise," Matt replied, "I want to make a statement."
"Good," I shot out two web lines handing him one, "it's straight ahead, just give it a running start if you're nervous."
"Right," he said. We jumped off the roof and swung across the building. We crashed into the window feet first landing in the middle of a giant poker table.
The men around us got to their feet and reached for their guns. I leaped up and socked two of them in the jaw before kicking another between the legs.
Matt was taking on three at a time as a fourth snuck up behind him. I held up one hand and fired a bio-bolt at him, zapping the man unconscious.
Matt looked at the attack, nodded to me and then knocked out two men, throwing the third through the room door.
We walked out into the hallway as slowly Matt and I walked inside each room and beat the gangsters to a pulp. He and I worked together so effortlessly it was almost magical. I jumped over him and he ducked, he threw a chair at me and I grabbed it and smashed it over a bad guy, best team up ever!
We reached the final room, inside was a scared little boy. I waited outside as Matt went in and picked the boy up, walking outside.
I followed behind him and looked at the beaten bodies we left behind, "oddly enough this isn't the bloodiest battle I have been in this weekend."
"Really?" Matt snorted.
"Yup, just yesterday I was fighting with this guy named Blade. Freaking vampires man, scared the shit out of me!"
"Vampires?" Matt asked.
I nodded, "vampires."
"Huh….neat."
