Fifteen minutes seemed like more than enough time to quickly deal with whatever rogue decided to rip up Wall Street and then swing over to a nice little cafe in Soho that MJ had picked out. Maybe pick up some flowers from Mrs. Li on the way to help smooth things over. That couldn't hurt, at the very least. After all, Mrs. Li did insist on paying Spider-Man back. Pete slipped the phone back into a small pocket on his waist and zipped it up, whipping around the corner of the building with a webline to get a clear line of sight down Nassau to the Stock Exchange. His lenses narrowed as he made out a familiar gray figure hulking over the nearby cop cars. Aleksei Sytsevich, known by most as the infamous Rhino, chuckled as the police let loose a wave of bullets from behind their patrol cars at the supervillain. Despite doing this dance for nearly a decade now, the cops still hadn't quite grasped the idea Rhino's skin was now bulletproof. Ignoring the gunfire, Alecksei turned his back to the police barricading The intersection of Wall and Broad to approach an iconic statue of a girl and a bull. Rhino wrapped his hands around the metal bull's legs and ripped it from its base, turning his body and throwing the statue with a lateral swing. The statue flew through the air with tremendous speed towards one of the police cruisers, and the cops were tripping over themselves trying to dive out of the projectile's path. Luckily for them, they didn't need to dive out of the way. For a certain spider-themed hero landed a couple yards in front of the police cruiser, and braced his arms to catch the statue. Spider-Man's feet began digging into the cracking asphalt as he was slid a few feet from the impact, his body straining slightly before setting the bull statue to the side. Pete took a moment to catch his breath as he patted the bull's back, before turning his gaze back towards the Rhino. [color=ff212a]"This your cousin, Alecksei? I can see the family resemblance."[/color] Rhino shook his head and grunted as he took a few steps towards his adversary. [b]"You have come again to jest, [i]Pauk?[/i] How predictable."[/b] Rhino began to hasten his steps, lowering his head to initiate a charge towards the Spider-Man. Spider-Man rushed forward to greet Rhino, jumping up into the air at the last second well above even Alecksei's reach. As the brute charged underneath, Peter lifted his wrists to fire several webs towards Rhino's horn. As soon as the Spider landed, he yanked back on the webs with all his might to pull Alecksei's head back and slow down his charge. [color=ff212a]"Predictable is a pretty big word for ya, Alecksei. You break out of prison to finally finish the eighth grade?"[/color] The Rhino turned around as he slowed down, ripping the webbing off the horn protruding from his forehead and giving it a pull in return. Pete tried to quickly disconnect the webs, but was uncharacteristically slow on the draw. He was pulled forward a few yards, only to be grabbed by the throat mid-air. Spider-Man was choke-slammed into the pavement, asphalt cratering underneath as the Rhino leaned in close. [b]"We have spent the last year preparing for this, [i]Pauk[/i]."[/b] Rhino began to lift Spider-Man up, but Peter responded by quickly flicking his wrist upwards to fire a tangle of webbing over Alecksei's eyes. The villain grunted and let Spider-Man go, desperately trying to remove the webbing before it got into his eyes. Pete did a backwards handspring once freed to give him some distance, before rushing forward and firing a webline past Rhino to launch a flying kick into the supervillain's face. The foot impacted against Alecksei's jaw, jostling his head a little as the Spider flew past Rhino. [color=ff212a]"We? You working with someone now, or do I need to take you to the Asylum once I'm done with you?"[/color] Rhino roared in response, turning around to charge Spider-Man again. The latter of these two, however, anticipated this. It was a dance they had danced a dozen times by now. Spider-Man rushed towards Rhino and slid along the asphalt under the big guy, turning to deliver a glancing blow to the side of Rhino's knee with a quick punch. Peter bounced back up to his feet while shaking his sore hand, and the big guy collapsed as his leg gave out. Spider-Man followed up by firing a few blasts from his webshooters at Rhino's downed leg, just enough to force Alecksei to struggle against the restraints for a few moments to try and get to his feet. Pete turned away from Rhino and quickly rushed towards the nearest building, jumping up to run perpendicular up the wall for a few moments. Just before reaching the roof he pushed off the wall, pirouetting in midair over Alecksei. Spider-Man began to extend his arms out, intending to fire off two weblines to pull himself towards his adversary for a powerful kick. As Peter was setting up his brutal attack, he felt a tingling sensation crawl up his spine. He was confused and turned his gaze to his right out of pure instinct, only to see a familiar set of green-tipped wings rocketing towards him. He had no time to react before Vibranium slammed into his ribcage and knocked him flailing through the air. Peter clutched his side just as a large metal claw wrapped around his torso and dug into his flesh through his suit. The Vulture took off with great speed further into Manhattan while Peter struggled against the claws digging into him. Adrian Toomes looked down through his advanced flight helmet towards his prey. [color=39b54a]"Why don't we go for a little ride, just like old times."[/color] Peter let his head fall back to look towards where Vulture was flying, and saw a familiar set of four mechanical tentacles pulling a man up the side of the Empire State Building. Spider-Man wiggled his fingers between the vibranium talons and his suit to get the leverage to pull himself free, firing a quick webline to pull himself towards a nearby rooftop. Peter tucked and rolled into a classic three-point landing as he looked up towards his two adversaries as they circled the nearby landmark. [color=ff212a]"Great... Rhino's working with the rest of the animals..."[/color] Peter quickly unzipped his pocket to quickly shoot off a text.
