Peter took in his situation as the world around him slowed to a  crawl. He had a broken leg, cracked ribs, and a man in a faster then  light suit barreling towards him.

Well that could have gone better, Peter thought as the vulture zoomed toward him for one final attack. Looks like this is do or die time.

The  boy lifted his hand toward the billboard that the Vulture hit and shot  his web strand. Zipping out of the way, peter felt tombs talon graze his  back throwing him of course and making the boy roll into a ball landing  on his shoulder with a sickening crunch.

The boy turned to see  his foe lying face first, a huge dent on the wall. Bits of circuitry  scattered around Adrian's body. The boy let out a sigh of relief picking  himself up but his wobbly legs force him back to his seated position.

Gumming up the wings… actually worked. Peter thought between breaths.

The groans of his enemy stirring force Peter steady himself on his elbows.

"Oh great, looks like round 3." Peter said watching as tombs rose to his feet then… feel onto his back.

"Nope,  i'm done." The man said also leveraging himself on his elbows. "Damn  hammer, couldn't make a proper helmet to save his life. What's the point  of a faster then light suit if the helmet doesn't protect from crashes  of equal force… agh, my head fucking hurts."

"Was it all worth it. Tombs."

"Not  a second of it." He groaned grabbing his head. "I wanted to quit more  times then I could count but if hammer knows anything its how to make  people do what he wants."

"I promise to protect your family just like i'll protect all of canterlot city."

Adrian chuckled then coughed like his lungs were gonna come out. "You mean that don't you?"

Peter nods his head.

"Alright bullet junior, i'll turn myself in." The man said picking himself up using his hand to lean against the wall.

"Thank  you tombs. For a second there I thought we would have to fight again  and I don't about you but every part of my body feels like its on fire."

"Wait  until you get older kid," The man chuckled more then hacked up spitting  blood on the ground. "Take care of trixie and if anything happens to  her I will take care of you… got it."

Peter nodded his head. "I promise."

Sirens  hovered in the distance as tomb took labored steps toward peter. The  men fell to his knees then offered his hand. "Let me help you up."

Peter took his hand then with the leverage picked himself on his own two feet.

"You got any web left?"

"Enough to get me home."

Adrian nodded his head. "good, now get out of here and leave the flash drive."

Peter placed the drive in Adrians hand then turned around.

"I'm trusting you tombs."

"That was your first mistake… just like your dad." Adrian laughed.

Peter shot some web then soared high turning his head to Adrian. "It was a nice battle tombs, you were a worthy enemy."

Peter  could make out through the half destroyed mask a smile from a man who  was more then an enemy, he was a family friend, and a victim of the true  villian… justin hammer.

I swear on uncle ben's grave I will bring down justin hammer.
