Night, a shade of darkness that falls upon the steaming city after the seventh hour has passed. Life is found in the darkness, however, the city truly coming alive and bustling as lively as ever. The loud music, the lights, the sirens, the voices all made up what was this city. His city. This was the Big Apple, this was New York City, Manhattan to be precise. He being Peter Parker, but right now with costume dawned and at the ready to break up any trouble he was the Amazing Spider-man. A watchful gaze over the bright Times Square from atop the center building, watching those below in the darkest place he could find he waited. It was a Saturday, his main patrol night, where petty criminals ran rampant...and often major villains made their weekend paycheck.
Peter was rather impatient, he had homework he planned to get done tonight for a free day with MJ on Sunday, but it was already half passed ten. The city looked calm, as though the other heroes work over the week had yielded good results. He started to turn when he heard a familiar sound of a sonic boom. He jumped slightly before peering over the edge. Over at the Toys R Us Shocker, Herman Schultz, was on the attack. His laughs enveloped the sky as his goons started to file out from various stores with arms filled with sacks of cash.
Peter's eyes narrowed before making a dive off of the building, his momentum building, shooting a quickly line a foot from the ground and using the momentum to kick two goons then land in a stance. "C'mon, did you have to ruin a good Saturday night, Captain Pin-Cushion?" he taunted the foe whom snarled toward him. "It's the Shocker! You got that bug brain?" Peter rolled his eyes and facepalmed. "Because the arachnid mind is capable of forming conversational thought in the English language, have you talked to spiders before Quilt-man?" this angered Shocker further, whom gestured to the four remaining goons to get him "Don't just stand there you idiots! Get'um! " Peter smirked behind his mask, getting ready before smacking the knife out of the first man's hand, grabbing his wrist and spinning him around to throw at another goon, whom took the impact but spun out of it back on to his feet. Another came up with a punch, Peter's spider sense doing the trick as he leaned back dodging it and kicked upward into the man's chin, sending him onto his back. The third man came and Peter unloaded several punches into his gut, counting aloud the while for a little fun before uppercutting him. He turned quickly with a readied fist at the last man who had recovered from having a goon thrown at him. The man release a yelp and turned to run quickly, turning straight into a stop sign and holding his nose. Peter shot quick webs and pulled them all together, knocking them out from the collision, and webbed them to the streetlight post. He turned to see Shocker finishing loading the money into the truck.
In a quick move Peter shot a web to the end of the truck as Shocker started it up and sped down the road, narrowly missing cars as Peter was lifted off the ground from the velocity. He slowly started to pull himself closer on the web-line, one hand after the other against the wind. He held on tight as he was whipped on a turn into a news stand, almost losing his grip in the pain. He shot another web and yanks himself at the truck when a blast from Shocker fully connected with Peter, sending him flipping backward. Suddenly, he bumped into something and didn't fall, but the wind was still hitting him. It felt solid, giving reason to why the contact with it hurt, but metallic solid. Almost...like a motorcycle.
