I tapped my foot repeatedly against the New York concrete. The line outside my favorite coffee shop was stretched for miles. I knew I should've woken up earlier. I sigh, pulling out my phone to scroll through social media to make the time pass.

As I scroll, I feel a whoosh of air above me. I look up, seeing Spider-Man swinging above the city, a natural occurrence this time of day. Nobody else pays him any mind. I go back to scrolling on my phone, when the loud voice of J. Jonah Jameson rings throughout times square.

"There you have it folks. Conclusive proof that Spider-Man was responsible for the brutal murder of Mysterio." He says.

There's a few murmurs around me, people pulling out there phones to record the scene. I look up to see Spider-Man sitting atop a light pole a few feet to my right.

"But that's not all, folks. Here's the real blockbuster." Jonah states. "Brace yourselves, you might want to sit down."

The screen cuts to footage of Mysterio on the bridge in London.

"Spider-Man's real-" Mysterio looks over his shoulder. "Spider-Man's real name is P-" He's cut off by the corrupted tape.

"Spider-Man's name is Peter Parker."
