[3rd person POV]
Spiderman pried open the elevator and webbed down to floor 32 while Sue went to secure the main vault. According to her, this attack might be a distraction to lure in the security forces while the assailant's main target might be the main vault, which holds everything that Baxter Industries is working on.
And if the assailant was able to trick the entire system, she wouldn't have a hard time opening the vault and getting what she wanted. With Reed in Shield's base working on his research and Johnny out at the North Pole, overseeing a new case, there are only Sue, Spiderman, and The Thing in the building along with the guards.
The first thing Spiderman noticed was the unconscious people present on the floor. He quickly used his magic to scan the room and noticed that none were dead, just injured and unconscious. His visor showed that there was a strong knockout gas in the air.
As he moved closer to the floor, he noticed the robots patrolling the floor. He quickly webbed up to the ceiling to hide from those annoying scanners those robots were equipped with.
His spider sense tingled...
The robots stopped in their tracks and turned their attention toward him. The turrets also turned to him.
Oh, shi-
'Beep beep beep! Hostile detected. Initiating Protocol 13'
The robots started to fire at him.
Spidey quickly jumped off the ceiling and rolled on the floor, dodging the shots. There were civilians around the floor, and if he moved without thinking, they would get caught up in the fight. Then it would become the same situation that he had faced in his past life. Innocent people are getting caught up in the fight between heroes and villains. He hated it more than anything. To stand in the same place Hulk and the other heroes were standing that day... He felt rage bubbling in his heart.
"How dare you put me in this situation?" Spiderman yelled as he threw a web line at the first robot and rushed toward it. He swung around the robot, wrapping it up with his new webs, which are strong enough to hold back a super-soldier. He then quickly flipped up, dodging the oncoming energy bullets, and threw solid needles toward the two turrets in the narrow hallway, destroying them, then he pulled back toward the elevator.
He knew that fighting them with the civilians around would be dangerous, so, he'll destroy them in that narrow hallway.
"Time to see how far I can push this new suit. Initiate reverse hacking. Hack the robots and the security system," Spiderman ordered. The nanomachines and AI quickly went to work, scanning the first robot's data and trying to find an entry point. Then, the AI followed the signal back to its source.
<Reverse hacking initiated. Please standby>
The robots began firing at him, forcing him to keep moving. He flipped and somersaulted through the air, narrowly avoiding their bullets. He wanted to use his magic to end this fight as fast as possible, but revealing such a trump card when he knew nothing about the enemy's identity or if this new suit was bugged or not was a stupid idea.
He needed to buy time.
So, he did what he did best.
Spiderman switched his web shooters to web bomb mode and shot off two web bombs.
'Web bomb: A sticky web-like substance that covers a large area and traps targets inside.'
The robots tried to move out of the way, but the bombs exploded before they could move. He took this chance to pull the first two robots toward him, destroying them with hard punches. His suit protected him from the explosions that occurred after the robots were destroyed. More robots began to walk into the hallway.
Spiderman did the same with them too. He simply wrapped them up using the web bombs and destroyed them one by one.
After his fifteenth victory, the reverse hacking was successful.
<Hacking successful>
"Great, disable the robots and security measures," Spiderman ordered as he rushed forward and punched the robot in front of him, sending it flying into a wall and destroying it. 'No one will miss another one...'
<Robot disabled. Disabling security measures>
The robots stopped moving. The turrets shut down instantly. The floor was secured.
"Peter," Sue's voice rang through the earpiece. "What happened?"
"I'm done here. I managed to disable all the robots and security measures on this floor. No one died, everyone is just unconscious," He explained.
"That's good, I managed to secure the main vault, but I couldn't find the assailant. She might still be on that floor. Check the security room," Sue ordered.
"Alright."
Spidey dashed to the security room, but the door was locked. He tried to use hacking, but someone locked the door from inside and cut off the power supply. So, the door won't open unless someone from inside opens it.
"Well," He smirked under his mask as he clenched his fist and punched the door.
Baaamm! The metal door flew off its hinges and crashed into the wall. Spiderman walked in and saw a familiar figure standing with her back toward him. She was wearing a black glossy suit and her long platinum blonde hair was flowing in the air.
"Haaa... Really?" Spiderman sighed as he shook his head. "Black Cat. From jewelry theft to breaking into Baxter Building, isn't that too big of a career leap?"
"Hello, Spiderman. How was your day?" Black Cat turned around with a sly smile across her face.
"Not bad. Blasting robots, dodging bullets, trying not to get others killed. You?" Spiderman shrugged.
"Nothing special. Just a small heist," Black Cat giggled.
"So, what are you trying to steal here? And why do you need to do it in such a grand manner? This isn't how you work, Cat. You're more of a silent assassin type."
"I'm hurt, Spiderman. She flipped over the desk and landed gracefully on her feet, "I can be pretty loud and rough when I want to or feel like it."
"And I don't even want to know how you make those puns sound dirty..." Spidey sighed.
Black Cat just giggled.
"So, what's your story? Heard you died in an explosion almost a year ago and here you are, in flesh and blood. Care to tell me how you did it?" She asked with a smile as she raised her arms in the air and stretched them. Her tight suit hugged her hourglass figure tightly, and it showed off her toned legs and chest. She knew that this body of hers was very attractive to a certain someone, so she used it to her advantage.
Spiderman noticed the USB drive blinking in the port, right next to Black Cat.
'Ah! Buying time with her usual tricks, I see...'
"Humm... How about we do some information exchange? You tell me what you are after and I'll tell you what happened that day," Spiderman offered as he raised his hands and webbed the USB drive.
But to his surprise, Black Cat kicked under the desk. The CPU flew up in the air as she jumped up in the air, trying to grab the USB stick. Spiderman moved fast. He threw a web bomb at her and threw a web line at the USB stick, pulling it toward himself. But before the web bomb could explode, Black Cat took out her grappler and grappled a keyboard, then threw it at the bomb.
It was so fast that no normal person would have been able to follow her movements.
The bomb exploded, scattering sticky webs everywhere.
Black Cat landed on the floor and rushed toward Spiderman. Her eyes were on that USB stick. She quickly closed the distance and just when he thought that he finally got her, she swooped down the floor, slipped past him toward the door, and pulled out another USB stick from the computer behind Spidey.
Just when she turned her back for a moment, Spidey took that split second and put a tracking rune on her back. All it took was a simple flick of his finger.
"It was nice meeting you, Spidey," She gave him a wink as she blew a kiss and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
But with his new visor, the smoke screen is useless.
He chased after her.
[Clank!] Black Cat took out a small bomb from her pocket and threw it at the reinforced glass wall. A shrill sound wave swept over the floor, making both Black Cat and Spiderman stumble. The glass shattered. She quickly regained her balance and leaped through the shattered glass and grappled onto a jet waiting just outside the building.
