Peter Parker stood next to the grave of his dead girlfriend, Gwendolyn Stacy. He had tears running down his face as her coffin was lowered into the six foot deep hole. (This scene would be accompanied by the following voice over by Peter, "My life seems to be crumbling around me. My girlfriend is dead, my uncle's dead, my aunt's in the hospital, and my best friend is addicted to oxycodone. What's worse, my girlfriend's death was my fault." then the following flashback scene would follow.) Peter thought back to the night she died. He was fighting the Green Goblin atop the George Washington Bridge. The Goblin threw her off. He grabbed her hand, but couldn't hold on. He shot a web down and caught her, but according to an MRI scan they ran on her the whiplash effect from that snapped her neck, killing her.
(the flashback ends here.)
"I really hate murderers." said a man behind Peter, "I'm just glad this one was brought to justice." Peter turned around and say the face of blind lawyer Matthew Murdock, whom he recognized through media coverages of his cases.
"Matt," said Peter, "I'm Peter Parker, I was Gwen's boyfriend."
"I'm sorry."
"Hey you're a lawyer, could you have it notarized that I want to be buried next to her?"
"I'll see what I can do."
"Thanks." Peter said, and Matt walked off.
"Peter." he heard someone call. He recognised the voice as that of his friend Harry Osborn's ex-girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, who broke up with him upon hearing about his addiction.
"MJ." he said.
"I'm so sorry to hear about Gwen."
"It's okay."
"She was a nice girl."
"You didn't even know her."
"I did, actually. You talked so much about her at World Unity Day that I decided I would go and pay her a visit."
"Are you here for her funeral, too?"
"No, I'm here for Norman's funeral. Harry found his body washed up on the bank of the Hudson River." Peter knew that was a lie and that Norman was actually the Green Goblin, but he tried not to show it.
Peter was at a nearby subway station, waiting for the train, when suddenly a black hand pushed him onto the rails. Had he not discreetly used his spider-powers he would have been flattened. (That scene would be accompanied by this voice over, "And my spider-sense has also been failing me, for the past week I was attacked twice and my spider-sense didn't warn me.")
(The voice over continues into the next scene with "My life may seem miserable, but it does have more advantages than just helping people.") Peter felt something in his pocket, a little piece of paper with ten digits on it, the only other thing on it said "MJW". Peter immediately knew what this was.
"I'll text her later."
The scene then cut to a shot of a room with a silhouetted figure. He looked out the window and saw Peter walking down the street. "That boy!" said the man in an odd sounding voice, which sounded more like two people talking than one, "He sickens us! But we shall soon exact our revenge!" He raised his fists and put his knuckles against each other as they are covered with a black substance.
