just enough for him to be leaning up. god, his head was fucking throbbing.

"pathetic."

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

he puffs out heavy breaths while staring at the hero from down his nose.
two feet step around nightwing's sides. it feels good to look at him like this. one hand peels his mask up just enough for bleeding lips to smirk before thwipping center of his chest and pulling

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝔓𝑅𝑂͟𝐷͟𝐼͟𝐺͟𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝘖𝑁 ֵ @frstvow]

falling backwards , palms flatten against the ground. for a few seconds he writhes in pain , feeling fragments dig deeper into his back following the collapse. one arm raises in anticipatory defense while the other lays across his midsection.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

spider-man grips the wrist on his chest and raises it so he can't defend himself properly before driving his fist into firm abs once. he pushes off the wall after releasing nightwing's wrist with a shove, jaw circling as the soreness rises.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝔓𝑅𝑂͟𝐷͟𝐼͟𝐺͟𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝘖𝑁 ֵ @frstvow]

black seeps from the corners of his vision following the two-tap. a deafening ring floods his ears as he drops to his knees. head slumping against the abdomen that he was pulverizing moments ago. there’s a weak attempt to pry the webbing off , while his other hand (&.)

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

the impacts are lessened, albeit still punishing, but he's able to uppercut this close without much room for dodge, before webbing dick's recoiling face and yoinking him back down to his rising knee.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

the second vase shatters next to spider-man against the wall. and he barely has enough time to use his other hand to web the man crashing into him by the foot once they connect. venom coagulates at his core, where the majority of nightwing seems to be focusing.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝔓𝑅𝑂͟𝐷͟𝐼͟𝐺͟𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝘖𝑁 ֵ @frstvow]

ceramic chips shatter against his back. embedding themselves in the thin material of his suit. although painful , it does little to impede the acrobat. he crouches in a low pose seamlessly avoiding the makeshift projectile before boldly breaking into a sprint. (&.)

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

superior in all ways.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

enhanced. improved.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

nightwing and pulling.

spider-man doesn't move from his spot, but moments later a vase reeled in by elastic webbing is about to strike nightwing, then another.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

his face turns back to nightwing the same time his jaw is struck. spider-man's head then recoils and his grip loosens enough to allow the hero to slip away after the second strike.
he darts away, mask shifting underneath in an obvious grimace before tethering behind

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝔓𝑅𝑂͟𝐷͟𝐼͟𝐺͟𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝘖𝑁 ֵ @frstvow]

within the vice like grip , he can feel his muscles strain. bones threatening to crack. it forces him to suppress a low groan. even his failed attack creates a new opening as he releases his grip on the escrima before catching it with his other hand. with spider-man (&.)

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

while his focus is forced to instead used to nail the other baton used as a projectile to the wall with a web in a clear display of pin-point accuracy.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

after landing, his eyes hone on nightwing creating distance from his sudden intrusion.
spider-man is about to step forward when his upper body is forced to contort completely sideways to dodge the strike to his shoulder. he grabs a wrist to keep nightwing from swinging again

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝔓𝑅𝑂͟𝐷͟𝐼͟𝐺͟𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝘖𝑁 ֵ @frstvow]

it’s only when nightwing hears the telltale sign of shattering glass does he realize his tactic failed. forearm raises to shield against sharp debris before performing a hasty backflip for much needed distance. the expanse of the manor meant his own agile prowess (&.)

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

》even better.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

》that's better.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

he's cautious to approach closer.

chances are, nightwing is prepared to swing at him from around the corner of the entryway, so he instead leaps from his own entrance, before promptly crashing through the first floor window alongside the front door and looking around.

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

he's prepared for a strike that never comes. as he re-opens his eyes, he sees nightwing's figure disappear into the rest of the maze-like building.
spider-man aims a web at his back that barely misses and flies past, and only then does he leap to his feet, annoyance building.

[ᵗʰᵉ 𝔓𝑅𝑂͟𝐷͟𝐼͟𝐺͟𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝘖𝑁 ֵ @frstvow]

satisfaction spreads across features still sporting faded bruises from previous altercation. reluctantly , nightwing quells the impulse to deliver another violent assault on the downed hero. far too aware of just how dangerous the black spider was when punishing missteps. (&.)

[𝙏𝘩𝘦 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙎𝘱𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳-𝙈𝘢𝘯 @upgradedspidey]

》this faceclaim has been my profile picture for years.
i'm going to swap it soon.
