That night, Peter Parker and Mary Jane stayed at Aunt May's house.
"Thanks for letting us stay here, Aunt May," Peter said.
"It is very dangerous with that wolf thing running around out there," she replied.
"Are you sure that it is John?" Mary Jane asked.
"I'm positive. I could not find his body on that shuttle. Plus, that thing was wearing part of an astronaut's outfit. I am worried that he would be after you."
"Right. I imagine it must have been hard for him when I left him for you. If I were you, though, I would be more worried about yourself. Maybe he thinks that, with you out of the picture, he could 'win' me."
"The lengths that love can drive a person," May said. "I just hope that that poor boy can find a way to change back to normal if what you are saying is true, Peter."
"I wish I knew how to help him," Peter said.
"What about Doctor Connors?" Mary Jane suggested. "He's a smart guy. Maybe he will know something about this."
"Doctor Connors has been through a lot. I don't want to drag him into something that he may not get out of. He barely made it back to his normal life after he turned into Lizard."
"But he was able to create a chemical that cured him. Maybe he can cure John."
"I am not sure if the change is chemical, though. I've been watching the replays of the footage on the news. It looks like some red moon rock got into his neck. I think I may have seen a lump in his neck when he attacked me."
"I suppose the solution would be to get it out," May said. "If it has to be you who does it, Peter, please be careful. And remember that there is a young man within the monster. He could have a future if he is given another chance."
"You're right, Aunt May. I don't think that he would do the same for me, but I feel like I owe him. The least I can do is save his life. Helping that plane get the shuttle was not enough."
Peter let Mary Jane sleep in the guest room. He slept on the couch. That night, he had a dream. Uncle Ben was present in this dream. A white light was behind him. He walked up to Peter.
"You may be facing more than you think. There could be others out there who are trying to do the opposite of what you are trying to do. Be weary of that."
"I will, Uncle Ben. I know that there are people who may be after John Jameson. But I cannot promise that I will get to him first."
"Then promise that you can save him."
"I promise that I will save him if he is captured by anyone else."
"Remember, Peter, that there are hunters out there. Don't let them kill him."
"I won't. He has become my responsibility."
