"Well how about that?" Spider-man said, reading the latest Daily Bugle issue. "Save the city a dozen times by myself and get nothing. Save the city once with the Avengers and they replaced 'Spider-man terrorizes city' with 'Spider-man saves city'." He grinned under his mask. "Oh I bet this just eats at J. Jonah Jameson."

A child cried from somewhere below. Spider-man tossed the newspaper aside and jumped off the ten story building, then shot out a web and swung towards the sound. Sticking to the side of a building, he assessed the situation. A single boy crying on the sidewalk, his mother's arms around him. Try as he might, Spidey couldn't find any sign of trouble, not that he really expected there to be any at three PM on a Friday.

Suddenly he saw the red balloon drifting slowly upwards. "Hm, it's not much," Spider-man said, "but it's the most action I've seen in days." he turned and sprinted up the side of the building, then jumped and flipped, grabbing the string and falling. He shot out a web to stop his descent and slowly lowered himself until he was level with the crying child.

"This yours?"

"Spider-man!" the boy's eyes lit up and he could barely contain his excitement. Spidey handed the kid his balloon. "Thanks Spider-man!"

"Thank you." The mother reiterated with a smile.

"Not a problem for your friendly neighborhood Spider-man." Said the Web Head. He was just about to pull himself up when he heard the applause. All around him the people on either side of the street had stopped to clap and whistle their cheers.

"Nice going web head!"

"We love ya Spidey!"

All this for saving a kid's balloon? He had held up burning buildings and received less praise.

With a huge grin under his mask, Spider-man pulled himself up his web and waived to the people below.

"Wish I could stay to bask in this long overdue appreciation," he said as his stomach grumbled. "But even us superheroes gotta eat." he swung his way two city blocks over to his favorite hotdog stand. "Hey Mack." he said, descending from another web. "The usual, if you'd please."

"You got it Spidey." the man said.

Spider-man reached into his belt. Web fluid, web taser, web dissolvent, spider tracers. "Aww." he groaned. "Hold off on the dog. I left my wallet in my other suit. I only have two. How can I not keep track of them?"

"Not a problem Web Head." the man said, offering him the hotdog. "This one's on the house."

"Seriously?" Spider-man asked.

"Absolutely." the man said. "You know that school bus you saved last week? My niece was on it. Far as I'm concerned, you got free hotdogs for life."

"Well, I can't take advantage of you like that, but this is shaping up to by my lucky-"

There was a purple flash a street over followed by tires screeching and a woman screaming.

"I should have learned not to say that kind of stuff aloud a long time ago." Spider-man said. "Hold onto this, I'll be right back." Pulling himself up, he was on top of the building in a matter of seconds, then jumped over the street and surveyed the commotion from the edge of a building. A car had skidded to the side of the street and knocked over a traffic sign. That was about it until he noticed the girl in the middle of the street.

She had blond hair that almost came down to her shoulders, and was covered in a long red cape with a golden shield and S on the back of her shoulders. Struggling to stand, she glanced back at the car and revealed knee high red boots and a blue leotard that came down to her wrists.

"People loving me, free food, and now beautiful girls just appearing in the middle of the street?" Spider-man said allowed. "Did I switch luck with Johnny Storm?...or...anyone other than me really. Hm, mayhaps this is a dream?"

He dropped down to the sidewalk below. Cars had stopped on either side and all around people stared at the girl as she took a step and fell to her hands and knees. Being New Yorkers, they all had experiences with super villains, and this girl didn't look the type.

"Um, excuse me miss?" Spider-man said as he approached her. "What exactly is going on here?"

The girl didn't respond. She just put her hands on either side of her head and stayed hunched over.

"Um, are you alright?" he reached out a hand to touch her shoulder. The moment he made contact, his spider sense flared up, but before he could think to react, the girl snapped around and backhanded him with tremendous force. He slammed into the building, bricks cracking under the impact.

"No, I didn't mean-" Supergirl said. All around her the people screamed and yelled, the sounds overwhelming her. It was like her first day on Earth all over again as her super hearing picked up everything for miles.

"Ouchie...well, not dreaming." Spider-man said. "That or my subconscious is telling me I'm into some weird stuff." He pulled himself up and shook his head. "Always trust the spider sense."

Ahead of him the girl still clutched at the sides of her head and staggered backwards. Before he could think of a plan there was a second bright purple light to his left. As the light slowly dissipated, he could see another girl crouching in the middle of the street. Her skin was a light brown, her hair a darker pallet. She wore a tight blue muscle shirt and some type of fur around her waist and loose dark blue pants. There were what appeared to be tribal markings on the bands on her arm and in her hair, but what most concerned him was the girl's well built physique. If the skinny one could slam him into a wall, what kind of damage could this girl do?

Cautiously Spider-man approached her. Her face showed pain as she tried to stand, but she was obviously less distressed than the blond girl. "Excuse me?" he said, hopping on top of a car next to her. "You mind telling me what's going on?"

"I...what?" Korra said. She looked around in confusion. "What's going on? Where am I?"

"E...um. Isn't that your friend over there?" Spider-man pointed his thumb over his shoulder at Supergirl.

"N-no. Why do you think I know that girl?" Korra asked.

Every time Supergirl opened her eyes, she saw with a different type of vision. She had no choice but to keep them shut to avoid blasting whatever was in front of her with heat rays. Her hearing picked up everything for miles, every breath, every word, every car horn. This city was full of sounds, and it took a great effort to focus her hearing down to just her surroundings.

"-I know that girl."

Supergirl's eyes widened as she turned. That girl knew her?! She did this!

"Look out!" Spider-man yelled.

Korra turned, but before she could react, Supergirl had slammed into her with enough force to send her crashing into a car fifteen feet away.

"What the-! Is that how you say 'hello' where you're from?!" Spider-man exclaimed.

Supergirl grabbed his suit and pulled him closer. "Yeah! Now tell me who you are and what's going on or you'll find out how I say 'goodbye'!"

"I want to know those things too! Well, not who I am obviously. I'm Spi- look out!"

A car door crashed into Supergirl. She released her grip on Spider-man and stumbled a few feet backwards.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm putting an end to it!" Korra said.

Spider-man knew the look on the girl's face all too well. That was Hulk's 'SMASH' face. And to make it worse, the blond girl didn't look any happier.

"Hold on. Both of you. I don't think any of us full understand whats-" His spider sense kicked in as Korra stomped her foot into the ground and a five foot piece of concrete was ripped from the street. With another stomp and a kick, the concrete flew at Supergirl, who punched it, shattering it to pieces.

The Girl of Steel lifted off the ground and charged at a terrifying speed. Korra punched twice, sending the hood and rear door of the car behind her flying, but they barely managed to slow Supergirl down as she closed in and punched Korra into the brick wall behind her.

Korra landed from the attack, falling to her hands and knees. Her fingers tightened and she ripped up another piece of concrete and flung it. It smashed into Supergirl, sending her sprawling backwards.

Gritting her teeth, Supergirl charged as flames burned in Korra's hands.

"Wait! Wait. Holdit holdit!" Spider-man jumped in between them and held up his hands. "Stop fighting each other and think for a minute. Something's clearly wrong here and we need to-No wait!" His spider sense had flared, but trying to explain himself instead of dodging, both girls landed a punch to his face. He smashed through the windshield of one car, then slammed into the bumper of the truck behind it.

Eyes tearing and nose searing with pain, Spider-man got up just as flames shot out over the street. Before he could get back to the girls, a motorcycle was sent flying through the air. He jumped up and caught it before it could crash and hurt anyone.

"Alright, this is getting out of hand." he leapt up and landed on a traffic light to get a better view of the fighting.

Korra spun and a gust of wind shot out of her hands causing Supergirl to step back. Once her attack was over, Supergirl inhaled, then blew a powerful gale right back. Korra was blown off her feet, but she flipped and shot fire underneath her to get above the wind. As she descended, Korra brought her arms over head, then flung them forward as she conjured a powerful inferno. She spun and created a ball of air to soften her landing.

Before the flames could die down, a car suddenly came flying out of them. Korra barely had time to roll out of the way before it crashed into the building behind her. Supergirl was floating fifteen feet in the air, a street lamp in her hands. Throwing it like a spear, she nearly impaled Korra, who ducked as it split the fire hydrant behind her.

Water droplets now rained down on Korra, who thought up a new plan as Supergirl charged again. Moving her arms like a current, she bent the fountain of water and directed it straight at Supergirl. The Girl of Steel pushed through the blast of water, just like Korra expected, so she focused, clenching her fists and turning the water to ice.

Satisfied with her victory, she let her arms fall to her side and tried to catch her breath. Suddenly, Supergirl's eyes glowed red and the ice shattered as the girl roared her anger, the blast sending Korra tumbling down the street.

"Okay, so muscle girl is elemental based and it looks like she needs movement to use her powers." Spider-man said. "If I can web down her limbs, that may shut her down. But then how do I take down blondie?"

Supergirl's red eyes turned and locked onto Spider-man.

"Oh shi-"

In a flash her hands were around his throat. "Take me down? The only one going down is you if you don't tell me what's going on!"

"S-super hearing, huh?" Spider-man struggled to say. He fished through his belt for the sonic chip. "That's really something. Tell me, what's the most knock-knock jokes you've ever heard at once?" he stuck the chip in her ear.

"What did you?" Another chunk of concrete slammed into the back of Supergirl's head.

"Hey!" Korra yelled. "Get back down here! I'm not done with you yet."

Supergirl gritted her teeth and she threw Spider-man aside. "I'm ending this now!"

"Wouldn't have it any other way. Now bring it!" Korra said.

Supergirl was about to unleash her fury when a dozen white balls suddenly began to pelt Korra from the side.

"Ah! What-hey!" Each ball exploded into a web until nearly all of Korra's legs and torso were covered.

Spider-man landed beside her and shot out his regular stream of webbing to completely encase the Avatar.

"RAH!" A plume of flame shot out of Korra's mouth.

"Shnikies!" Spider-man jumped into the air and shot out another web over Korra's mouth. "Alright girl with the dragon breath tattoo." he said as he landed. "No, wait, that was dumb. Just a little frazzled after nearly getting my keister roasted, you know? Lets see, um..."

"Alright, it's just you and me then." Supergirl landed a few feet away.

"What? Oh, no it's just me." He pulled out the sonic chip's trigger and pressed it.

Supergirl screamed in agony at the high pitched sound in her ear, clutching at her head before collapsing forward.

"Oh crap, are you alright?" Spider-man said. "I made that for Venom, I never thought to stick in someones ear!"

Grimacing, Supergirl pushed herself up, but Spider-man webbed her hands to the ground.

"Hold off on that for a second, I have a number of questions to ask." he said. "Most pressing is, uh, WHY ARE YOU DESTROYING NEW YORK!"

Both girls looked around at the fallout. Shattered glass and ice scattered all over the ground, vehicles bent and turned on their sides, the geyser of a fire hydrant, and everywhere the scared citizens poked their heads out to see if the battle was over.

"I...I didn't mean..." Supergirl said.

"Oh, I suppose if you're going to talk, you'll need your mouth." Spider-man said to Korra. He pulled out the web dissolvent. "But no using Flamethrower. It's super effective against us bug types. Try not to get any of this in your mouth, it's one of the nastiest things you'll ever taste. Don't...don't ask why I know that." He poured a drop of a green solution on Korra's mouth and in seconds the web turned to powder and fell away. "Now that we've all calmed down a bit, maybe we can figure out what's going on."

"I'm sorry about your city." Korra said. "But I didn't exactly have time to survey my surroundings while I was being attacked!" she glared at Supergirl.

"Hold on."

"Hey, you said you knew me!" Supergirl said, "I thought you did this!"

"Guys."

"I didn't say I know you!"

"Hey."

"Yes you did! I heard you!"

"Hold on! Find a happy place! Both of you!" Spider-man yelled. "You both just appeared out of nowhere in a bright purple light, so neither one of you is responsible. I guess I would be the next most likely person to blame, but...why did I just say that?"

"Did you bring us here?" Korra asked.

"No! Honestly, I have no idea who either of you are." Spider-man said. "Now-"

Sirens blared as the police closed in. Letting the NYPD take them in would almost certainly involve S.H.I.E.L.D, and that might not be the best call right now. No one liked to be taken into custody by secret government organizations.

"Alright, maybe we should go somewhere private and have a chat after I call the Avengers." Spider-man said.

Supergirl stood, ripping out two chunks of concrete where her hands were webbed to the street. She flung her right hand around, trying to get the sticky substance to give out.

"Was that necessary?" Spider-man said. "I...I have the dissolvent right here." He sighed, "I can already tell this isn't going to be easy. Oh! You know what'll help? Ice cream. Ice cream always helps." he jumped down the street and landed on the roof of an ice cream cart. "Three medium cups please. Ah! Never mind, I forgot I don't have my wallet."

"Ay webs, you caught 'dat motorcycle before it took out my stand." the owner of the cart said, "Yer three cups is on 'da house 'dis time."
