Spider-Girl and American Dream investigate a series of robbery attempts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The two discover the thief is Spyral someone Spider-Girl had a run-in with a while ago. The superpowered thief tangled with the two heroines. In the end Spyral opened a portal and send both through. However Spider-Girl had enough strength to pull Spyral with them. Where they landed we find out.

Spider-Girl: (coughing) Oh man. Shannon! Where are you! Where our we?

The young heroine searches for her friend.

Until something catches her eye.

American Dream: Wow ,what a rush but I'm okay hope May is alright as well. Did I land in a junkyard? May! Please answer,girl.

Spider-Girl: Shannon! Over here.

American Dream races to her friend until she sees Spider-Girl looking down at something.

Spider-Girl: You okay?

American Dream: Yeah. How are you?

Spider-Girl: Got a headache but fine . Look.

American Dream: Oh my God.

The two look down and find Spyral.

Spyral: (coughing) Well..Well guess we all made it.

Spider-Girl: You piece of crap where are?

Spyral: (laughing)

American Dream: From what I can tell we're in a junkyard.

Spider-Girl: But where?

Spyral: I guess that's for you to find out,heroes.

American Dream: And why is that?

Spyral reveals something he was hiding from the two. He was impaled through chest with a sharp metal stake.

Spider-Girl: No! Stay with us,man. Shannon help!

Spyral: (laughing) Looks like I win in the end. You two are trap here...suckers.

Spyral hands drop and the thief departs.

Spider-Girl: (shaking Spyral) Damn you wake up! I said wake up!

American Dream: May ,he's dead.

The two looked in silence and ponder.

American Dream: May are you okay?

Spider-Girl: No.

Out of anger Spider-Girl picks up a car and tosses it.

American Dream: May,my friend please focus. That's not helping.

Spider-Girl: You're right,come on let's bury him first.

American Dream: Agreed.

The two bury Spyral.

Spider-Girl: Now let's find out where we are,Shannon.

The two search the junkyard until they come to a sign.

American Dream: Carlo's Junkyard.

Spider-Girl: Brooklyn,New York?

American Dream: We're still in New York.

Spider-Girl: Maybe ,but is it our New York?

American Dream: I got another question for you. What do we do now?

Spider-Girl: I guess we start over a new beginning.

American Dream: We do it together .
