Miles - Tackles Starling through skyscraper window

I sprint to the far side of the roof and dive straight off. Down, down, down I go, the rush of cool air making my eyes water. I watch the building, looking through the windows, catching glimpses of red as Pigeon tears through floor after floor. Once I’m a few floors ahead of them, I shoot my web up to the roof and slingshot my way through the glass, tackling their massive red body through the windows on the opposite side.

We’re a mess of glass, black spandex, and red metal as we tumble out of the building, and I can barely see anything. Debris hits my face as we tumble, and I hear glass, and a wave of gasps from concerned citizens somewhere below us. Another grappling hook shings out of somewhere, except this one is bright red and latching onto one of the steel beams of the building, and they go flying right back in the direction we came in, but not before I can clamp both my hands around their shiny metal boot and hitch a ride back to the side of the building.
