"We say it is to mock Venom, we could in fact change to any color we wanted, but Venom must be mocked...We insist!"
Greed busted out of the webbing finally and took great triumph in how easier it was to do this time; last time Rhino strained himself trying to break that webbing. As Greed took a look around, he didn't see any red, blue, or webbing pattern guy lying around, so Greed assumed Supergirl must had made off with him since she was absent now. There was really no point in fighting bleu spider, but in fact Greed thought of something Rhino never would have thought of, not in a million years.
"We almost forgot to ask your name! Silly us always forgetting, you'll tell us right? We want to know what to put under our trophy!"
Aleksei was still getting use to the whole 'we' thing, knowing Venom did it a lot and now Aleksei knew why; the host and the Symbiote were one, the same entity and spoke together. Not saying 'we;' was like disinclining a whole other person, it was respect for the Symbiote. Aleksei liked the concept since it made him sound creepy; that also could be the same reason Venom liked doing it. The number two reason Greed wanted to find Spiderman was to be mistaken as Venom; the Symbiote so wanted to hear the insult Spiderman had for a pink Venom.

Sapphire's headache subsided slightly as she cut her control to her sapphire strands, letting them fall where they were. Holding him like that wasn't going to be a possibility without help. She'd have to go with a different plan.
She moved to a better stance and stared at him a second. "Well, since you actually asked rather than comparing me to Spidey, I guess I could. (Though I'm not sure how I feel about the whole trophy thing.)" she replied, forming some more of her sapphire strands around her. "It's Sapphire Spider."

Hearing the sounds of Batman grasping at straws, Kara glanced down at Spider-man and jostled him a bit. "Time to wake up, now..." she murmured nervously. She still couldn't see anyplace safe to put him... Her eyebrows went up as she noticed something glinting under the sleeve of the Spider's costume. Hesitantly, she pulled back the material, and studied the hidden device for a second. Then she smiled...
Seconds later, Spider-man was webbed up to the top of the cave, his arms and legs secured with thin strands of webbing, in case he needed to get loose once he regained consciousness. A thicker mass of the stuff secured his torso. Kara had appeared next to Batman once again, her expression bordering on smug. "Miss me?" Without waiting for him to answer, she zipped over to the attacking fire-ninja-person...thing... and blew out, sending her ice breath shooting toward him. She didn't care what kind of fire he had; that was enough to freeze anyone solid.

((Thanks!))
"We like it! More original then just adding your gender to the end of what you are related...There are enough of those around to last us a life time!"
Greed took a stance as well, placing both of his hands forward to point in front of him so he would be ample for clawing at anything in his way. Originally Greed didn’t have claws, but the changing of his skin texture at the figure tip gave him claws, though they were more like gripping spikes due to their small size; nothing like the claws of other Symbiotes. Greed wanted to try to climb the walls like Venom, but the Symbiote warned Aleksei the Venom look was only for show; he didn’t have any of Spiderman’s powers. It was still possible to climb walls by make his hands have grip to them, though that would be risky due to Greed’s large weight. When it came to it, Greed knew what usually worked for him; charging at the wall to get the target down. This would be good too since enough broken walls and support areas could cause the cave to collapse, effectively killing or at least injuring everyone inside; that would be wonderful. Greed changed his fighting position to having his right shoulder sticking out like a foot ball player and charged, his speed slightly increased form his time as Rhino. As Greed charged, the skin on his shoulder turned rigid and sharp along with the other shoulder to match. It seemed like Greed was a math equation; what you do to one side, you must do to the other.

"Erm...thanks?" Sapphire replied. That was a first...she'd never had someone compliment her title...let alone someone who wanted to fight. She watched him start to charge at the wall and instinctively lept towards another area. Yeah, this seemed familiar, though having him make a mess in here was probably a bad idea. Once her feet touched something solid, she spun to face Greed and shot her already formed strands to his legs, hoping to trip him before he could reach the wall. Though he seemd much stronger...him simply breaking though them was a possibility as well.

Greed felt a tug at his foot as he ran forward and this time the Symbiote immediately took effect and caused him to stop in his tracks, looking at the webs attached to his legs. Greed got a really good idea from this and turned to face Sapphire Spider where she now was on the wall, web still attached to his feet. Greed reached down and grabbed the webbing, getting ready to tug on it to get Sapphire Spider over to him. If she was like Spiderman, she would have some super strength backing her up, though not enough to stand against Greed. Aleksei didn't know why, but the sight of Batman fighting that ninja guy made Greed really want to say something as he tugged on Sapphire Spider’s webbing.
"Come over here!"

Sapphire sat and watched him a moment. He stopped? And was going for her strands. Grinning a bit, she moved the strands away from her body and put her hands up in front of her. She released her mental hold on them and the strands shot away from her as Greed pulled on them"Ah-ah. No hands, see? Kind of telekenetic webbing." she replied with a bit of a smile. "Good idea though."//should I try and be more discriptive when she uses her sapphire strands?//

((No, its fine; Greed still wouldn’t have known about it.))
Greed clapped, greatly enjoying this fresh improvement on Web Head's powers; Spiderman couldn’t do that with his webbing. Greed was most interested in this fight; it was like fighting Spiderman, but with more twists that made it much more stimulating.
"We like it! It will make things harder for us! Now we want to see what else Sapphire Spider can do!"
This was of course the truth; if she had mental control over her webbing, who knows what other neat tricks she had up her sleeve that Greed desperately wanted to see. Aleksei was also affecting the Symbiote’s intelligence and in turn Aleksei’s was rising, while the Symbiote’s intelligence was falling. Soon they would both meet at the equilibrium and have matched intelligence and if time permitted, the Symbiote would probably lose itself in the fun and forget its true reason for acquiring Rhino as a host; to kill Venom.
Greed needed a new option for getting her down from that wall, so he walked over to a wall he was standing beside and took a nice chunk of it, about the size of his fist. The Symbiote increased Aleksei’s perception form last time, so the rock might have a better chance of hitting Sapphire. Even if the first didn't, Greed was surrounded by rocks to throw till she lost her footing and Greed would by after he like a shark after blood.

Sapphire relaxed slightly, not sure how to respond. He was actually enjoying this...she wasn't sure wether this was a good thing or bad thing. On the one hand...he wasn't ticked off and wanting to rip her head off. On the other hand...was he really that much stronger that this was just fun to him? Ah, crap, another chunk of rock to dodge.
Well, he wanted to see what she could do...provided it didn't come with too much force, she might be ablt to toss it back at him this time.

"Get ready! This thing is going to be a home run!"
Greed heaved back extremely far with the rock hand and readied to throw it, looking like he was going to use extreme force in order to throw it. As Greed's body moved forward, he launched the rock half heartedly and quickly was charging right after he threw the rock; right towards the wall Sapphire was above. This was a double assault the Symbiote had come up with in order to either get her down to be hit or to get hit by a rock. Either way, it seemed like a good idea except the rock had a head start before Greed. Wanting to make it at the same time the rock did, Greed put more effort into his running as he charged.

[I'm going to let you have one less foe to deal with....for now.]
Scorpion was blinded by the smoke, when he finally regained his sight he hit a wall that the grappling hook hit. That was it for Scorpion, all these heroes and that pink guy would be too much for him to fight all at once, he fell and passed out on the ground.
[I'll wake him up later.]

Sapphire tensed up agian and prepared to lunge away from the rock. It looked like it was going to have too much force for her to be able to catch it and stay where she was. He tossed it, with what looked like much better aim than the last time. She sprang forward, aiming towards the side of the rock to miss it. While in the air she glanced down and found Greed charging at the wall she had been on. She grinned a bit under her mask.
She had planned on landing on the ground and instantly springing to another higher location, but she was honestly starting to enjoy this as well. Maybe she would show off some of her other tricks. She formed some of her strands around the oncomming rock, and once it reached her, she spun both herself and the rock to move around her, altering it's path. She landed facing Greed, though kept herself crouched so that she could easily spring back onto the wall. She could play, but she still wasn't brave enough to stay on the same level as this thing. A few seconds becore Greed reached the wall, the rock bounced off his shoulder.
"Out." Sapphire replied with a bit of a smile, surrounding herself with a nice net of her sapphire strands.

Kara immediately stopped breathing out; freezing an unconscious man solid was not acceptable. She paused, glancing from Batman to the fight involving Rhino... or Greed, now, and then floated up to check on Spider-man.

"No fair! I want a do over!"
Aleksei didn't know what was happening to him; was he becoming even more stupid then before? That couldn’t be right since he said all those big words and even had a good plan going on. The only answer Aleksei could think of was the Symbiote was making him loony; making him smarter, but in a stupid way. Not necessarily lethal foolishness, but just plain absurdity and it seemed Sapphire was going along with it too. The more and more Greed met new heroes, the more he liked them; he must have got set with a jerk for a nemesis compared to all the other heroes he could have as enemies.
Greed hunched over Sapphire, his size being his apparent advantage, but at the same time she chose to be this close and Greed decided to accept that as a friendly gesture; after all, she wasn't his target. Greed leaned forward and met Sapphire face to face, the detail no doubt quite visible up at this close of view. As saliva dripped from Greed's face to the floor, he spoke slowly to add to the creepiness of the whole deal, making sure show off his teeth and the absurdity of his grin. Greed took note on how much bigger he was compared to Sapphire being at eight feet tall and decided to mention that while he spoke slowly.
"You're quite small, you know that?"
