Swallowing The Spider

[After Transition]

Turning around so I am facing the ocean, I squat against the cliff then using all my strength like a spring I pounce off the rock face downwards towards the ocean. This is the only way I could see that would allow me to catch up to her even though it risks more of the cliff crumbling but I don't want to do a Gwen Stacy and snap Selina's neck. Honestly Selina is an experienced person and might survive falling into the sea and that has a better probability than me catching her with my webs.

I hear the cliff crumbling behind me and some chunks of rock tumbling down behind me, I hope it's only some debris and no massive rock or else I'm kinda screwed. I can see that Selina has seen me coming for her and changed her posture so that she will fall more slowly and make time for me to get closer, I don't think I'll reach her in time tho- F.U.C.K THAT HURTS! Goddamn it a f.u.c.k.i.n.g BOULDER JUST CRASHED INTO MY BACK, where the f.u.c.k is my spider sense warning me about this shit. As soon as we are done here and I've got my memory stick back I am gonna do some F.U.C.KIN' tests to sort this shit out!

Though this does have a silver lining, the boulder hurt but it hasn't really impeded my abilities. I will have a nasty bruise later but my bones have already started to mend and I am kinda glad that it got me. As the boulder goes past me after hitting my back I quickly manage to snag my right hand onto it and then proceed to press my entire self into it and stick to it. I don't know whether I would have made it to Selina before but now with the heavy boulder dragging me down I will make it to her with time to spare.

The boulder is getting faster and faster every second and it won't be long before I catch up with Catwoman, suddenly I hear her squawk. "MOOOVVVEEE THHHEEE FUUUCCCKIING BOOOUULLLDDDERRRRRRR!!!" Move the boulder? I start to manouvere myself around the boulder and get a clear view down and I suddenly realise why she's complaining. The boulder is heading straight for her and it's getting faster by the second.

Thinking quick I walk crawl around the boulder so I am underneath it with my back towards the ocean, I angle myself slightly to the right and then proceed to press my entire being into it. I gather all my strength and push away from the boulder while making sure to disengage my sticky fingers. Due to doing this by angling to the right I am pushed further towards Selina and the boulder is pushed further away so that it would miss us both, I turn around, straighten out and head for Selina.

I have caught up with her and suddenly hit her from behind, taking a few seconds to adjust myself and make sure I am holding her secure I stick my arm out towards the left making sure to angle it upwards and press down into the middle of my palm with my ring and middle finger. And a strand of webbing shoots out which connects with the rock face, I grasp it with my entire hand and we are still heading downwards. Then the webbing pulls taut and we begin to swing with full momentum, at that exact moment another wave hits the cliff and a spray of water shoots up at us. It sprays onto us and onto the web and I can't help but worry that it will make the web dissolve.

Gravity takes affect and the water starts to head back down towards the ocean while some droplets stick to the cliff and to us. Thankfully the web is still strong and we are starting to head upwards, as soon as we are at the peak of the swing I release and jump further up so that I won't be landing on a wet rock and risk slipping. At the very peak of my jump when my inertia is mostly gone my left arm and leg shoot out and connect to the cliff and they stick to it. Taking a moment to breath in I just hang there from my left arm and leg with my right arm wrapped tightly around the Captivating Catwoman. Huh, I think that works. I guess you've got to have an alliteration and good adjective to make a good name and 'Captivating' is a pretty apt description.

"T-Thanks for catching me, not many people would risk their life for someone like me, especially not someone I was blackmailing..." She looks up at me and I can see the gratitude within her eyes. "Blackmailing, huh? Well I can't let you fall to your death, after all you would take the secret of where my memory stick is to the grave with you." I smirk at her but I don't think she can tell because of my Kakashi mask.

She looks pensive for a moment. "Well, I'm sorry about that but I still can't give it you till we're done here. That way I will have dirt on you and you won't reveal my identity but I am willing to give you a cut from the first robbery I commit using the security blueprints but that's it."

"Wow, the 'Klepto Cat' is giving me some of her spoils of war, I feel so honoured!" I comment sarcastically but she just sniffs at me. I guess I'm not the only one who needs a breather after that butt-clencher of a fall. Hey 'Klepto Cat', I'm getting really good at naming stuff, maybe I can make a useful but unassuming invention that I can name something cool and sell that. There are surely some stuff I picked up from my time with 'The Fantastic Four' that I can sell commercially and make a boat load of money for the rest of my time here. Food for thought.

After we both get a sufficient moment to calm down Selina starts to wrap herself around me again and then takes a moment to make sure she's holding on tight. This has the added effect of being more enjoyable for me but I shrug it off a moment later when she signals to me that I can start climbing again, I don't want another incident like that to happen again.

We are directly under the Wayne Manor now and I don't want to have anymore incidents so I make sure to take my time and crawl up while checking each of the places I put my limbs is stable. Selina doesn't seem to be complaining so I guess that she would rather avoid falling again as well.

We are now approaching the top of the cliff and I am making sure to look out for any traps or surveillance, after all even if this is just a cliff, it's the Batman's cliff and most of Batman's stuff is ten times cooler and deadlier than anyone else's, even a cliff.

I have not spotted anything but I suppose that it makes sense. Why would Bruce Wayne need serious security on a cliff, it's not like he has anything to hide or has any enemies. Look underneath the underneath. Batman might need security like that because he's paranoid but Bruce Wayne is a happy go lucky playboy, the mansion will have some defences but not as many as there are in the Batcave. We are not breaking into Batman's house, we are breaking into Bruce Wayne's house. Some times the best defence is pretending that you have no need to defend.

I pull myself up the cliffs edge and proceed to stand on the grass while Catwoman pulls herself of off me and looks towards the mansion. "C'mon lets go, it's easy sailing from here!" I f.u.c.k.i.n.g hope so but some how I don't think it will be.

Does Bruce Wayne have Batdogs... Maybe one of the Robins are home... Maybe I'm just trying to stall...

Well.. Lets get this show on the road...
