Spiderman and Chun Li swung all over the city seeing the nice views of New York City that night. Spiderman landed on another building taking as the two took a breather from traveling.
"The city looks so nice and peaceful at night when there is no crime activity going on." She admired.
"It comes with the job." Spiderman replied.
"By the way, I've heard that you left for a year, what happened?" she asked with bitter concern looking at an old Daily Bugle paper saying Spiderman is no more.
Spiderman took a deep breath not wanting to remember the past. "It was because I lost someone I could not protect. I faced off with a very powerful foe and he discovered my identity. He used the people I care about the most against me and I was at the end of my rope. In the end I manage to save her, but I was too late. I was completely devastated it reminded me of how much I let my uncle Ben down." Spiderman reminisced.
"We now have undeniable proof that Spiderman is no hero. He is a law breaker, a web slinging troublemaker and to add to that list attempted murderer. Do us all a favor and don't do us anymore favors. That is why I'm offering a one million dollar for anyone to bring in Spiderman." Jameson announced as Peter remembered the time he failed to save someone.
He remembered the time he threw his costume in the ocean giving up Spiderman for good. He then left on a train leaving New York City as his friends and family seen him off.
"Ever since I stop being Spiderman, I even wanted to give my superpowers and just lived my own life without worrying about what the bad guys were up to and let the police handle it. I even continued my education by going to a different state university. I needed a break from the constant everyone blaming me for things. I wanted to get away from it all." he said.
He remembered all the reports of Spiderman being gone from the city.
One guy set up a crime scene of three fake thugs mugging a lady trying to lure Spiderman into a trap. "The web head should be coming at any given moment to respond to this cry for help." One guy said. Spiderman never came to the ladies aid as the two thugs mugged her.
"What's the use, we got to face facts Spiderman is really gone or else he would have been here by now." second thug figured.
"Guess Jameson's millions is totally meaningless now." third one said.
A random person came in with Spiderman's costume in his hands to Mr. Jameson. "Hey sir looks like Spiderman heated your words this time. I manage to find this in the ocean while diving for treasure." He said.
Jameson held Spiderman's costume in surprise. "Robbie, print out a new report. Spiderman is gone from the city." Jameson ordered now realizing Spiderman is nowhere to be found. A newspaper boy tossed a paper by the Daily Bugle saying No more Spiderman.
"Attention everyone, it has come to my attention to confirm that Spiderman is no more and that I must regretfully withdraw my million dollar reward." Jameson announced.
Chun Li sat down by Spiderman side looking down at the city in empathy. "I can't say I really blame you. I too lost someone special to me that I was willing to give up my duties as a cop. It devastated me deeply." Chun Li replied grasping her heart.
"I'm sorry to hear about your loss." Spiderman apologized.
"What made you want to come back as Spiderman?" she asked.
"While at the university I was far away from my friends, and even after graduating with honors I was feeling very homesick. While sleeping my uncle Ben came to me in a dream and I remembered his words he gave to me before he passed on. With great power comes great responsibility. That is where I realized how much I have not lived up to my responsibility. I realized that I haven't been taking a break, but instead I've been running away." Spiderman explained.
Chun Li placed her hand on Spiderman's hand to ease his pain. "Not many people would forsake their hero just because of one mistake or two. No matter what the city still sees you as a hero unconditionally and they never give up on you. Not everyone is perfect." She said.
"With the way things are now, I now know that the city needs Spiderman more than ever. If I knew things have gone this way when I was out of town I would have come back sooner." Spiderman said looking at Daily Bugle paper from one year ago saying Crime has increase 100%.
"Looking back I remembered all the good Spiderman had done for the people and perhaps I've been living in the past for a long time. So I created a new Spiderman suit of my own and go back to New York moving forward." He continued.
As the two watched the city that night Spiderman's spider sense begin to tingle alerting him of danger that caused him to get on guard. A pumpkin bomb flew their way as Spiderman easily dodged the attack.
"Get ready, we've got company. We're not alone anymore." Spiderman alerted.
Spiderman grabbed Chun Li and flew off the building trying to get away from danger eluding the Goblin as he continued to search for the targets. A sinister laugh echoed in their location similar to the Green Goblin which caused Spiderman to grow with suspicion related to Harry Osborn. The two hid inside a building getting away from the attacker.
"I know that voice anywhere." Spiderman thought.
Spiderman and Chun Li and checked the mental institution and found Harry Osborn still incarcerated seeking the help he needs.
"I assure you folks that Mr. Osborn has been here this whole time, and his condition hasn't gotten any better, since he is still out of it. His mind is still wrapped." The doctor assured.
"I can't do it he is my friend, No, Spiderman must be destroyed!" Harry exclaimed. Harry struggled through split personally disorder where one personally was trying to fight for dominance over his sub conscious as the doctors rushed in to try to calm him down. Liz Allen feared for his condition as she constantly watched over him hoping he'll get better.
"Harry was originally Peter Parker's friend; his father was the Green Goblin, but then his father's influence most have rubbed off on him and right now it is fighting with his mind trying to gain control while Harry is suffering with his sanity. " Spiderman said.
"That poor kid." She said.
"Whatever the Goblin is up to, it's really big trouble." He thought.
"Boss, I've came here with information on the female that was with Spiderman." Hob Goblin arrived in the Kingpin's lair with data information on Chun Li.
"Excellent Hob Goblin, Smythe examine this." He ordered.
Smythe looked over the information on the disk. "She is Chun Li, an agent from Interpol. She has helped put away many, many international crime lords. She is also very skilled in combat. Our dealings with Shadaloo and S.I.N somehow must have traced back here which may explain why she is onto to us." Smythe explained.
"Really, doesn't this little girl know who she is up against, everything is under my power not even Spiderman can stop me now anyone who cross me will end up dead?" Kingpin inquired.
