Time has passed and years have gone by and everything is different now. From the years of protecting the city both solo and with the team Peter and Katarina are becoming unable to keep up with their demanding jobs. The hope the city once felt when they saw the team looking over them is slowly becoming fear as criminals are posing more of a challenge to stop. One day Peter stumbles into the front door and throws his mask to the ground. Katarina sees the torn suit and out of breath Peter and begins to cry. Peter ask what's wrong and Kat replies "You'll kill yourself trying to fight them!" Peter responds "Spider-Man won't die...not as long as the city needs me." Logan walks into the room and Katarina says "Not Spider-Man but what about Peter the man I love who has to come back at the end of the day beaten and broken? What about Logan who is constantly watching this?" As Logan walks up to the Spiderman mask still on the floor, Peter looks at his son and says "I'm doing this for him. For both of you." Katarina replies with a tear down her face. "If you are doing this for us then stop being Spider-Man." Before Peter could give an answer there was a knock at the door. Peter opens the door. Not too happy to see who it is. "Why are they here?" Asked Peter. "I invited them. Come in guys." Replied Katarina . Jett and Harry walked inside. "We need to talk, Peter." Said Harry. "You need to stop this Peter." Said Jett. "Stop What? Saving the city?" Asked Peter. Katarina looks at Logan and tells him to go to his room. "No! You need to stop acting like this. Said Jett. "Acting like what?" Asked Peter. "YOU KNOW WHAT!! Yelled Harry slamming his fist on the table. "This isn't good for you or your family." Said Harry. "Every time you stop a crime instead of the cops showing up it's the paramedics." Said Jett. "What about Goblin and Red Skull?" Asked Peter. "They were different." Replied Harry. "So please stop being Spider-Man." Said Jett. "Do it for us. Do it for Katarina. Do it for your son Logan. Do it for him." Said Harry. Peter didn't say anything. He then fell to his knees and started to cry. He then looked up at Katarina and looked back to see that Logan's bedroom door was cracked open. Logan was listening. Peter got up off the floor and walked to Logan's room. Peter saw tears rolling down Logan's face. "Everything is going to be ok son. Don't cry. I Love you" said Peter. Peter then hugged Logan. Katarina then came in and hugged them both. They all left Logan's room. Peter looked at Katarina and Logan then looked at Jett and Harry and said "No More." Jett said "We are proud of you bud." Harry replied with "We will protect this city for you." They all hugged it out.
