Captain America VS Batwoman

Inspired by the debate if Captain America could beat the Caped Crusader.

Captain america POV


I see the dark mansion and cautiously I move towards it.
The mansion is enormous and build in Goth style, with stone Gargoyles looking down at me from the rooftops.
Accorcing to my intel this is where Batwoman will be this night.
I open the door and enter the large hallway.
The hallway is huge and I realize this mansion must be worth a fortune.

As I step forward I suddenly feel an almost barely noticeable change in the air around me.
In a swift motion I propel myself forward in a carthwheel and a split second later a person lands on the spot where I had been standing.
The woman is dressed in dark bodyarmor that tightly covers her athletic frame. A red and dark cape whirls around her and her head is covered by a bat shaped cowl, while leaving enough space to let her fiery red hair hung free over her shoulders.
Clearly I just avoided a sneak attack from non other than Batwoman herself.

“Captain America, you walked into the wrong hall. Surrender yourself without a fight and I will keep you tied up untill I have taken care of my business. If you do not I will be forced to take you captive by force and I will make you pay dearly for the effort of doing so.“ She speaks with a menacing yet feminine voice.



“I never surrender. And I am here to bring you in. You need to answer for what you have done.“ I reply confidently.
As a result of the supersoldier serum I am a supersoldier with nigh supernatural pysichal abilities.
More durable, stronger, faster and agile then even the finest Olympic athletes. Besides that I can process information way faster and can formulate tactics in split seconds.
I know that with her mastery of martial arts, astonishing intellect and technology the Dark Knight is a dangerous fighter in her own right, however I am nothing like the regular hoodlums and criminals she usually faces.

Batwoman looks like she gives my reply some thought and then opens her mouth like she is about to speak, but then she suddenly moves at me.
If not for my enhanced reflexes I doubt I would have been able to avoid the swift kick aimed at my stomach.
Just in time I block the kick with my arm, only for her to follow up with a knifehand aimed at my throat. I raise my arm to block the chop and at the same time collide a hard punch to her side.
The punch makes her grunt and I see a look of surprise in her eyes as she is clearly taken aback by my enhanced strength and speed.
I prepare to follow up with another punch to the face to quickly put her down. However in a fluid motion she steps to the side and dodges my punch. Before I can reply she connects a hard kick to my right leg, hitting me right above the knee.
The impact knocks me a bit off balance but I manage to stay on my feet.
She spins around and just in time I raise my arms to block a whirling roundhouse kick aimed at my head. I manage to catch her leg and in a swift motion I throw her though the air.
She somehow manages to turn in the air and land on her feet.
However I am already upon her and land a cracking hook across her face that makes her stumble backwards.
The masked vigilante seems to stagger like she is about to fall over but then she suddenly throws something on the floor.
A loud explosion and the next moment the hall is engulfed in smoke.
Unable to see anything beyond arms length I look around confused looking for my opponent.

There is not a single sound to warn me as suddenly a lead lined fist crashes into my lower back. The kidney punch makes me grunt in pain and I instinctively turn around and swing a strike. However my attacker is already gone.

“I know that you are a legendary soldier. However I doubt you are well versed in the art of Ninjutsu.“ I hear her voice through the smoke, mocking me.
I try to locate the origin of the voice but suddenly I notice a whistling sound and just in time I step to the side and a bola whirls through the air where my legs had been half a second ago, clearly aimed to tie my legs together. I turn towards the direction where the bola was thrown from. However it seems she already changed her position because I again get attacked from behind. I take a hard kick to my leg that knocks me to my knees. I turn around again but only just in time to see a figure disappear into the smoke.
“They said you are the greatest soldier of all time. However here you are getting outmaneuvered by a woman with a smokebomb.“ Her mocking, feminine voice sounds through the thick smoke.
She is clearly trying to taunt me in an attempt to make me do something reckless.

I realize that I am unable to fight that what I cannot see. I take my shield and fling it in a whirling motion towards where I remember the window is. I hear a cracking sound and my shield moves back in my grasp.
The smoke disappears through the broken window and I am able to see again.
Batwoman is standing on the other side of the hall and looks at me, almost seizing me up.

In a blink of an eye she throws a small shuriken like weapon at me and I immediately block it with my shield. As it falls on the floor I notice it is shaped likea a bat.
She throws three more of them, one high and two low. I block the first with my shield and then perform a perfect side flip to dodge the other two, as I land I throw my shield at her. She dodges it with a gracefull duck and the shield ricochets against the wall right back in my grasp. I want to throw it once more but she is on her way with a leaping kick towards my chest. I quickly dock my shield and manage to avoid the kick with a swift sidestep.
Once she moves past me I seize her arm and try to twist it behind her back. However in a fluent motion she performs a perfect front flip and spins out of the hold.
As she lands on the floor she replies with a swift roundkick at my head. I block it with my forearm and immediately respond with an uppercut to her gut.
She lets out a big gasp of air and I take advantage of my momentum. I follow up with a spinning side kick which connects right on her chest. She stumbles backward and I can tell she is struggling. She is still breathing heavily but the scowl she has been sporting these past few exchanges is still present. I jump in with a flying cross and see her spin her cape at me. However a millisecond later I notice I fell right into her disguised spinning hook kick which connects right against the side of my head.

For a moment stars explode in front of my eyes and I feel blood trickling down my cheek.
Excellent setup and form. Like me the woman is clearly highly trained in the martial arts.
If not for my durability I would have been knocked out cold by that kick.

Out of nowhere I suddenly take a vicious punch to my stomach that hits me in the solar plexus and makes me double over as the air gets knocked out of my lungs.
As I am in trouble she immediately follows up with a hipthrow that flips me through the air and makes me crash hard onto the concrete.
Dazed from the fall I realize that Batwoman’s reputation as a master martial artist is legit.


I lay on my back pretending I am more hurt than I actually am and as she comes down with follow up punches intending to finish me off I suddenly shoot my legs up and manage to secure a triangle lock around her neck and arm.
She realizes her mistake and counters by headbutting me with her cowl.
It feels like I get struck in the face with a hammer and I am forced to let go of the hold.

She takes the change to back off and I quickly get back to my feet.
“You cannot beat me Batwoman. I know you are doing this because you think you are helping Gotham, however this has to end.“

Batwoman smiles, her teeth with drops of blood smeared across them.
“And I know that you are doing this because you think you are somehow honoring Peggy Carter. Don’t worry it will soon end when I have you defeated and tied up at my feet.“

I am shocked that she knows about Peggy. Clearly she has access to secret files.
Not wanting to give her any more options to use her tricks I decide to attack and finish her quickly.

I move at her with a swift kick that hits her just below her ribs.
The kick is a bit off but I succeed in setting up my rising elbow towards her head.
Considering her chin is the one place her armor is not providing protection I think this woman is about to collapse. Suprisingly she doesn’t. She is not fully aware of her surroundings but she is still standing.
I follow up with two swift punches at her head.
The punches might hurt my knuckles a bit considering that cowl is made from tough material. However she is the one with the most pain at the moment.

Batwoman still is not down for the count, so taking advantage of our close proximity I jump vertically in the air and execute a spinning back kick, a strong technique to both create distance and inflict a solid hit. She flies back, but surprisingly enough, still lands on her feet, one hand on the ground and the other near her ribs, no doubt holding them in pain. She looks up at me with the eyes of a woman who will never stop fighting, but I have to change that.

I undock my shield at throw it at her but in the blink of an eye I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my quadriceps. The pain becomes unbearable and my entire thigh locks up. I collapse on the floor.
“Ahhhh, what did you do to me?“ I ask surprised as I hold my numb leg.

“It is called a pressure point.“ She calmly states. She then stands up.
“Specifically to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. Repeated impact to the areau right above the knee will incapicate your leg.“

“How?“ I mutter out.
She takes out one of her batarangs.
“I already kicked you in that spot above your knee twice before during this fight. I studied your habbits and way of fighting and I knew that you open a brief window for a counterattack each time you throw that shield. So once I made you think I was done for, I knew you’r reaction time would be even slower. I waited till you exposed yourself with that shield throw and one batarang throw later you are down on the floor with a disabled leg and I am the only one standing.“

I look at her in disbelief as I realize she held her hands near her ribs to throw her batarang as soon as I wanted to throw my shield. She slowly walks towards me while calmly explaining herself.

“I knew you were stronger and faster then me and incredibly skilled. So I had five plans in place to take you out. The first one was the smoke and the second one was to systematically target your leg throughout the fight to incapicate you.“




An amused smile appears on her face as she looks down at me.
“You will find out the other three plans when you are foolish enough to ever stand in my way again.“
I want to say something but her gloved fist hits me hard across the face.
For a moment I am dazed and I can taste blood in my mouth.


“Perhaps now that I beat Captain America people will understand that I am not to be trifled with. “ She says and then connects a hard kick to my side that rolls me to my stomach.

I feel her kneel down on my lower back and she then pulls my wrists behind my back and uses a cable to tie them crisscrossed behind my back.
“I personally designed this cable to bind individuals with enhanced strength so there is no way you get out of this.“
More cable gets tied around my sides to keep my arms pinned against my sides.

She then ties my ankles together as well and rolls me to my back.
With a victorious smile on her face she looks down at me, defeated and bound.

“I believe I said something about making you pay for my effort to take your by force. “ She says with a sadistic look on her face.
She raises her feet and stomps down hard into my stomach, knocking the air out of my lungs and making my cheeks puff.
As I desperately gasp for air Batwoman places her boot on my throat and presses down, closing my airways shut.

My lungs begging for oxygen I feel like I am suffocating.

“Now Captain. I hope you have learned your lesson and in the future you will stay out of my way.“

My lungs are burning and I gasp and wheeze while she keeps pressing down on my throat with her boot.


“Because next time I might be a lot less gentle with you.“ She speaks softly as she clearly enjoys the situation.

As I feel like I am about to die she removes her feet and leaves.

“Have a lovely evening Captain.“ She laughs.
A whirl of her cape and then she is gone, disappeared into the night.
