The two of them, both dressed in their costumes, landed in the lobby of the city hall, seeing the back wall having been blown up and several security officers lying dead from varying injuries.

Spider-Man looked at the hole in the wall before turning around to look at the door.

"Does nobody use doors any more?" he asked in confusion.

"Of course not Spider" Cat said with a wave of her hand "Doors are last era's technology"

"So you're telling me that doors are changing?" Spider-Man asked "Are you telling me that they're going through a brand new form of existence, that they're re-evolving?"

"Don't you dare finish that joke" Cat glowered furiously.

"I believe you could say that they are... revolving doors" Spider-Man said.

Black Cat put her hands to her face and growled angrily, walking away from him and following the trail of dead bodies to a set of closed doors.

"Alright then, let's see what's behind door number one..." she said, taking hold of the handles of the double doors.

A second before she pulled them they were booted open by an enormous man dressed in black, standing nearly six-foot-six, with two smaller men behind him.

Black Cat was thrown backwards, Spider-Man leaping after her, catching her in mid-air and landing softly on the wall, activating his adhesive powers and remaining firmly planted.

"Huh" he said with a nod "Apparently it was pain"

"Ow" Cat said, pressing a finger to her head looking at the blood from the cut she'd just won.

"Indeed, apparently doors are evolving to replace us at the top of the food chain" Spider-Man said in a faux-fear tone "Spooky"

He dropped down onto the floor and let go of Cat, the taller woman getting into a fighting stance as the other three stood in an arrowhead formation.

"Alright, three against two" Spider-Man said "Can we handle that?"

"I handled worse working for Naughty America" Cat said, cracking her knuckles and her neck.

Spider-Man lowered his fists and turned to look at Cat with his head cocked.

"I... explain that later?"

"Explain it?" she asked with a wink "Honey I think I've got the video at home"

"Well, that's me evening-"

He was cut off by the smaller of the three men throwing himself at him at incredible speed, Spider-Man ducking under the swing he launched and retaliating with an uppercut to his stomach before crossing him in the jaw.

The small man went flying across the room with an audible cracking sound from his jaw, making Spider-Man flinch.

"Right, maybe I shouldn't hit normal people that hard" he said, squaring his stance as the middle-height man came rushing over to him with a baton "So pal, what do I call you?"

"You can't call me nothin'" he said in a thick southern American accent "But I can call you an ambulance if you want"

Spider-Man caught the blow from the baton on his arm and ducked to the side, sticking his foot out and causing the southerner to trip over it and slam headlong into the floor.

Spider-Man didn't miss a beat, leaping forward and, while the man was still skidding, slam his fist into the back of his head and knock him out in one.

"Cat, move on the big guy!" Spider-Man barked.

"Already doing that!" Cat snapped angrily, Spider-Man turning around to see her ducking and dodging from the surprisingly fast swings of their larger foe.

"Good job" Spider-Man said, only to see Black Cat get kicked square in the face and have the impact sending her flying backwards and skidding across the floor "And you blew it"

"I don't see you doing anything!" she yelled furiously.

"Fine, I'll give it a shot" Spider-Man nodded, sprinting forward and opening the fight with a jump kick, the large man catching it on his arm and pushing back against him, Spider-Man back flipping off his thick arm and landing in a low crouch, performing a basic coffee grin move to try and sweep his legs out from underneath him.

This soon turned out to be a mistake as the man lifted his foot up and brought it down on Spider-Man's leg, the red and blue hero snarling in pain.

He tried to bend his leg to pull himself towards the larger man only to have the beast-like man to slam his foot in the for of his legs.

A feminine squeak echoed from Spider-Man's mouth as the brute bent down and picked him up, swinging him around by the leg and throwing him into a wall, the thick bricks cracking under the force of the impact.

"Ugh..." he moaned in agony "Where are my save states when you need them?"

"How is that joke even relevant?" Cat asked, hauling him back to his feet while he remained protective of his crotch.

"Sorry, it's kinda hard to think when my balls are now swimming around in my skull" he grunted, moving his hands away from his groin before shaking his head to try and clear the pain "Holy fuck... I don't think I'm ever getting an erection again in my life"

"I'll fix that hun, don't worry" Cat winked before turning back to face the large man who was charging towards them "Move!"

The two of them threw themselves to the side, and by some divine intervention, used their grapple-slash-web to catch the man's feet, using their strength to trip him over.

"Move up!" Spider-Man yelled, the two of them launching forward from the tension on their lines and landing on top of the large man, Spider-Man using his webbing while Cat fired as many wrist-mounted cables as she could to try and keep him down.

"I think we got him!" Cat said with a grin.

The man began to try and lift himself up, yelling loudly before Spider-Man stamped on the back of his head, his nose breaking loudly as he was knocked unconscious by the blow.

The hero and thief looked at each other with tired expressions, both of them having been injured in the scuffle.

"Well... I think we can congratulate ourselves on a job-"

"Somebody help, they stole the safe with the city's security codes in it!" the Mayor yelled "The three were a distraction from some SWAT team thing, get after them!"

"Uh, some direction would be nice" Spider-Man said.

"They were heading towards Midtown when I saw them!" she said, pointing out the door "They left in a chopper, please hurry up and follow them!"

"Right, Cat?" Spider-Man asked his partner.

"I'm not really that bothered but, hey, another few fights and a little more time with you?" she asked with a grin "I'm up for it"

"Good then, let's get going!" Spider-Man said, the two of them leaping out of the blown up wall and heading after the chopper they could barely see on the skyline. Next Chapter: Job Done, Time for Fun Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 56 Minutes
