Kaine Parker has posed:
    A red shoed foot flashes out of the darkness of a shadow into the poorly lit rooftop only to find a jaw that's covered in a black ninja mask. The jaw and the mask both give way as the owner of the jaw twists his head hard from the kick and falls unconscious, dropping his nunchucks with a clatter as he sprawls in the open air.

    The red foot is followed by a reflective red lens in the shape of a large compound bug eye, where just above a black masked man brings his head down onto another ninja into a sort of flip/cartwheel over the ninja he's head butting to avoid the bo staff being swung at the Spider-man's back. "Whoa you guys. I mean, ninja's are cool and all, but damn. You guys are so 60's." Kaine says as he quips his way onto his feet, the ninja now at his back crumpling down unconscious from the headbutt and the staff slamming into his ribs.

    "1860's, but I don't have to clarify that with you all. Right. ... Right?"

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Ninjas were the worst. Usually in how they fought, but sometimes just by how annoyingly tenacious they could be. This wasn't Gabby's first rodeo running into them but the fact that they had mistook her for her sister in this case? Well, that just proved she had grown up quite a bit over the years she supposes.

From behind the roofotp utility building in the opposite side of the roof from where the red-clad spider-person had just landed comes the sound of fighting from Gabby herself. She was still a bit on the small side height-wise so uses that to her benefit to get in beneath the arm reach of one such ninja carrying a sword to grapple, and backbend to slam him face-first into the ground. It was an effective Kung Fu move one might often see used in wrestling matches these days.

"You guys are really getting on my nerves! I was just out for a nice evening stroll-" Across the rooftops, sure, but sometimes that was the best way to avoid traffic! "And now this!"

Leaving the swordsman she'd just concussed most likely she darts around glancing toward the sound of another fight with surprise. "Hey Spider---Guy!" She was about to say spiderman, but that suit did not look right. And he was a bit more muscular... Not quite the same.

Not that there's long to dwell on it as another rushes her, and she does a very Bugs Bunny-esque step to the side at the last moment tripping him right over the edge of the roof. What kind of ninja couldn't survive that?

Kaine Parker has posed:
    Spider-man would have THWIPPED the falling ninja to prevent his death, but this Spider-Guy? instead is busy with his own fight, bending backwards only to end up on the tips of a single hand, legs both snapping out from under him as he cartwheels backwards with toes curled back and balls of his enhanced feet slamming heavily into the jaws of another attacker. Lifted off his feet, the ninja starts to sail back and up before webbing catches his chest and pulls him hard to use the living man as a wrecking ball into the back of the sword weilding ninja bearing down on Gabby.

    "Maybe don't with the spider-guy. It's not like I called you..." He pauses to look at her from behind the red lenses and cants his head before suddenly crouching down onto his hands and feet in a single spot. "Badass." He says finally, smirking behind his mask before his muscles spring out, fist going up as he "Shoryuken!"-s a bad guy and he spins slowly to land back on his feet and faces Gabby before using his webbing at her shoulders to pull her away from an in coming attack that she could have easily dodged, but he wants to show off a bit for some reason.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"To be fair, you've kind of got the motiff going on," Gabby calls out just as her head turns to face the one coming up behind her. She'd already tensed ready to react when that thwipping of webbing catches her shoulders and she's literally pulled out of range. An amused look flashes back to Kaine as she lifts an eyebrow with a quick laugh. "Nice. I'm Honey Badger," she informs, "Or just Badger. Seems to be easier to say at times like this."

Suddenly she leans forward to plant her own fingertips on the ground while letting a single leg kick back into the ninja that attempts again, hitting him square in the--Let's not talk about it. It's super effective.

Kaine Parker has posed:
    "Nice to meet you Badge." Kaine says, cutting her name even shorter, before he drops his webs that had rescued Gabby to spin and bring the back of his heel up into the jaw of another ninja, causing the man to spin several times before hitting the ground with a meaty THWACK!

    "Did you ever see that ninja movie with Jackie Chan as a rabbit man?" Kaine asks idly towards Gabby as he drops down to his right, almost pressing his covered mouth against the ground to dodge the swing of a razor sharp sword and pressing it fully into the ground with his hand, to set up a heavy full body kick into the sternum of the ninja. "This feels like that crappy old ninja rabbit movie. Only ... y'know, it's night, and neither of us are rabbits. And only one of us is in red. And there's two people kicking ass on the roof." He does start to ramble, maybe it's the way he flirts?

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Nope. I'm woefully behind on most pop culture stuff. Spent too many years in a lab as a science experiment," Gabby supplies conversationally in spite of the fight. The rambling doesn't seem to bother her at all, really, nor does the fact that she's fighting. She doesn't seem TOO out of breath--Though this was a more decent workout than she's had in awhile. Usually it was one big bad or something attacking her with psychic magic whatsis. Ninjas were delightfully mundane.

"So what should I call you, then? Tight pants? Because those are very... Yeah. Not that I'm complaining," She adds in with a laugh right before hauling back to just punch a nunchucker right in the nose. It does end up with her taking quite a few hits to the ribs, and she hops back after lifting her hand to gingerly feel the area. There was no cry of pain or other reaction though and the nunchucker is very much out cold.

"... I think that's about it."

Kaine Parker has posed:
    "Oh, you too?!" Kaine says as he dodges a sword swung at his neck by falling backwards onto his shoulders, knees pinned to his chest before uncoiling with tremendous power, with both heels up into the jaw of the swordsman. An unhealthy crack as the ninja soars across the rooftop to land on his head likely worse off than many of the other ninja that are unconscious or at the bottom of the street.

    "Clone. Met the real me a few times. Seems cool. Way too much of a goodie two shoes." Kaine says, surprised at his own openness with this girl he's JUST met.

    "Hey, these pants are ... yeah, tight and prone to chaffing." He says with a shrug as he watches her bounce back and hold her ribs. "Nah, that ain't cool." He snaps a webline out following his quip to pull that ninja back up off the ground and with the man yanked towards the two, Kaine shoves his fist forwards to slam into the man's jaw like driving a motorcycle into a brick wall.

    "Call me spider for now. We'll figure out the rest later."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney watches with a little surprise when he yoinks the guy who had nunchucked her over to give him a good jaw cracking punch. A little sympathetic wince comes only for her to crack a grin over it none the less. "I'll be fine," she assures with a pat to her ribs, "Can't feel pain, and I heal real quick. Gimme like ..." She pauses glancing down at herself again, going so far as to grasp the neckline of her t-shirt to tug out and peer down INSIDE at her own body. "Uh, five to ten minutes should do." The shirt is allowed to snap back in place again.

"Yeah, I'm a clone, too. Of a clone. Stolen DNA olympics or something, but at least my sister is cool about it being in the same situation." Or close to the same.

Being told to call him 'Spider' is met with a thumbs up, and a rather broad grin as she offers, "Sure thing, Spy! Nice to meet you too. Thanks for the assist there." If he could shorter her name, she could do the same to his.

Kaine Parker has posed:
    Kaine coughs real hard real fast before turning away abruptly when Gabby looks down her own shirt and he blushes deeply within his own mask. Feeling the heat in his ears even. "You can't feel pain AND you heal quick..." Spy says to the sky as he keeps his back to the raven haired woman.

    Crossing his arms and lifting one to his chin, "Aren't you worried about that Xerox paradox or something? Copy of a copy of a copy loosing - Nevermind. I don't want to make you think about something shitty like that." Kaine says, frowning behind his mask and squinting his eyes and those lenses real small. "Spy. Heh. Clever girl." It HAS to be genetic. He hasn't even seen Jurrasic Park.

    The two standing around unconscious and moaning ninja, gives Kaine pause to look back at Gabby, still unsure if he's allowed, but he does sneak a peak anyways...

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Hey, *I* didn't clone myself. Can't do anything about it now that I'm here. Plus, I was the last out of a batch of ten so the labs weren't really all that concerned either. Though I was the only one out of my sisters that got the whole healing factor x-gene thing," Gabby rambles a bit as she gazes over the ninjas around just to make sure none were playing possum to get in any last hits. Ninjas were sneaky like that.

Glancing back toward Kaine she notices that little akward look away a bit baffled by it. At least until she looks down at herself a bit only to grin. Ah, well, maybe he could have gotten embarassed over that. Maybe.

"Yep. Though to be fair I still don't want to be around and healing while these guys might wake up. Mind if I caught a lift to some other rooftop with you?" Never hurt to ask... and he was definitely quipping like the Spiderman she'd known in the past. "Promise I won't try to unmask you or anything."

Kaine Parker has posed:
    "Fair fair." Kaine says, holding up his hands as a surrender to her back story vomitting all over the rooftop. He snorts at his own interal monologue and then steps closer, holding out a hand before slipping it behind her back and waist and holding her to his chest. "Sure. Anywhere specific you want to swing off to?" He asks before the wind picks up.

    Falling through the city, it's almost impossible to hear each other as he holds out an arm, snapping a webline to a near by building and they swing low over the road his feet touching the top of a moving van before the arch brings them back up into the air and they both experience weightlessness briefly before he uses the same hand to swing again.

    One last time and they're pulling up onto a roof as casually as can be, stepping up onto the lip of the building like they were stepping up off the street onto the sidewalk. "Here we are your madame." He gives a french twinge on the last word and tries to keep it up. "Anywhere specific you want to go no?"

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Swinging from rooftops wasn't something she was unfamiliar with having spent a good time in Gotham with those folks out there. She even had one of those grapple guns that let her do that herself--Though not on her currently given she hadn't been out expecting a fight. New York buildings were a bit closer together and easier to just parkour from for a nice run. However... swinging with SOMEONE ELSE as the one in charge of the movement was a bit more thrilling. It causes her to clutch a bit tightly to Kaine as they go on that first dip down out of habit, and the spike of adrenaline rushing through her that came with it.

Once they're finally on another rooftop she steps away with a little half-laugh, feeling the jitteriness that comes from an adrenaline rush without an immediate outlet to it--Like punching ninjas. She pauses breifly to flip her hair back out of her face. "Okay, I get the point of the full mask now. That is hell on long hair," she utters as she finds a tangle to tug at. It's given up on for now tossing it with the rest over her shoulder.

With the mock French accent given, she grins back in amusement and slips into her own best Southern Belle. "Why I do declare, I think I could go for a bite. Perhaps I could entice the gentleman into joining me to repay him for his earlier assistance?"

Kaine Parker has posed:
    Kaine starts to look around over his shoudler and elsewhere, "I don't see any gentlemen around here." He says teasing before he turns around and pats his back, "Then we'll have to get down from here and I know two- no three ways. Two acceptable ways." He corrects himself before pointing down at the deli across the street. "You like sandwiches or are you wanting something fancier, cause I left my bow tie in the other suit."

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"I could kill a Philly cheesesteak about now," Gabby states simply. "Or any other kind of sandwich, really. I'm easy." There's a pause as she considers that, and lifts a hand with a 'wait, wait' gesture. "Phrasing." Yes she could do that on herself having had some exposure to Archer at least.

With a grin she looks back to him, tilting her head to the side a but curiously. "Okay, you've got me. What are the acceptable versus unacceptable ways to get down? If 'throwing yourself over the side' is one I could survive it but I would make a huge mess."

Kaine Parker has posed:
    "Phrasing!" He says, trying to catch her at the same time with a spider-man point even. "Oh, well there's the jump and splat, but that's the bad one. The other is the elevator, and the last is upside down like a spider in an alley. Not sure if you've got the core strength to hold on upside down though." Kaine says with a look to Gabby and a finger pointed at her 'core', belly. "But you're an adult, I'll let you decide that on your own." He says as he steps up to the lip and splats a line of web onto the rooftop.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
"Not have the..." Gabby stares openly at Kaine a moment looking shocked. SHOCKED. A quick, warm laugh comes out at that, and she has to clutch at her stomach with one hand while taking a quick swipe of her eyes with her opposite. "I've been accused of MANY things, but that is a first! I work HARD for these abs, sir!" She blurts out with a rather hefty amount of pride.

While lifting up her t-shirt to show off her stomach. There is some bruising there by one of her ribs, likely that healing process she was going through, but she was definitely toned and muscular in her own right. Almost gymnastic.

"Lead the way! I'm up for anything!"

Kaine Parker has posed:
    "Then hold on." He says, patting his own chest and waiting for her to grip him before he walks off the side and slowly begins to spider-dangle down from the rooftop all the way down towards the alley below.

    It's a bit awkward once they get down, but he helps her down onto her feet first, hand holding if needed, but nothing nefarious. Once she's down he drops with a lazy half flip onto his feet and then guides/follows Gabby over to the deli to get a bite.

Gabby Kinney has posed:
Gabby Kinney takes a deep breath momentarily before stepping in closer to hold on for that upside down moment. The hair again becomes an issue, but... There were more important things at the moment. Like hanging onto him and ensuring her brag of her own strength doesn't fail her.

In retrospect she should have gone the easy way down given her still healing ribs... but what's a little tension when you can't feel pain? Once on her feet properly she waits for him to start heading for the deli.

"See, told you so," she teases quietly with a quick smack of his butt as she hurries up to match her step with his. A deli awaits!
