The next morning, Peter watched the news on the television in his living room.
"Four bodies have been found in this crime scene. There is no physical evidence of who did this. However, the same night, Cletus Kasady, who had recently gone missing from Ryker's Prison, was spotted on-camera. He fled as soon as he discovered that he spotted the security camera, and his whereabouts are currently unknown."
The phone rang. Peter answered it.
"Hello?"
"Peter. It's Doctor Connors."
"Doctor Connors!"
"Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you, but I have been working really hard trying to mess with this thing. I think I finally found a cure."
"That's great news! I'll get there as soon as I can."
Peter journeyed all the way to the Connors house. He rang the doorbell. Curt Connors' son Billy answered.
"Spider-Man!"
"Hey there!"
"Billy," Martha Connors said, "he really needs to talk to your father."
"Oh. Sorry."
"It's okay," Peter said.
"He is in his lab," Martha said.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
Peter entered Dr. Connors' lab and saw that he was holding up a chemical.
"This is it," Connors said. "After working inside and out, I have finally done it. Morbius may be smart, but I bet he didn't count on me living to help you. I am not just a physicist now. I'm also a biologist."
"Are you sure that it works?"
"I have run dozens of tests with your blood. They have all yielded the same positive results."
"Let's get it in me, then."
Doctor Connors injected the chemical into Peter's arm. He started to feel different. He remembered this feeling. He felt stronger than he had felt mere minutes earlier.
"Try it," Connors said.
"Huh?"
"Try shooting out a web."
Peter pointed his hand at a wall. He summoned the spider within him and released a web that landed on the wall.
"I'm cured!"
"What did I tell you?"
"Doctor Connors, I can't tell you how much this means to me."
"I owed you. What can I say?"
The two of them walked into the living room and saw that Martha and Billy were watching the news.
"Peter, there's something else I have to tell you," Curt said.
"Hang on," Peter said, focusing on the news.
"The Sinister Six have just reappeared, and it looks like they have a new member who has replaced the Sandman. This new member bears similarities to both Scorpion, who had recently disappeared, and the alien creature who, along with the Sandman, tried to eliminate Spider-Man three years ago. They are outside of the Daily Bugle building."
"Oh no," Peter said. "I have to go."
"Go save the day, Spider-Man!" Billy said.
Peter exited the house in his Spider-Man costume. He ran down the street and started swinging from building to building, ready to rise to a new heroic challenge after so long.
