SPIDER-MAN SWUNG TO the Alexander Hamilton Bridge. He wore his Iron-Spider suit since his red-and-black one was still stained with green paint from an altercation with a Mysterio supporter weeks ago.
There was bumper-to-bumper traffic through the bridge and Y/N tried to scan each car for the MIT vice-chancellor, but it was no use since EDITH and any other AI once programmed in his suit was offline.
Y/N ignored the news helicopter following him around. He dropped down from the highway sign and deactivated his armor, unveiling his suit and tie that he put on to look professional for the representative.
He walked through the stalled traffic until he reached a van with what looked like the woman he saw in the photo he got from Flash. He knocked on the window and the lady lowered it.
"Yeah?" She asked and got off her phone.
"Hi. I'm Y/N L/N."
"I know. You do know you're in the street, right?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I just really needed to talk to you and I know you're on your way to the airport."
"Uh-huh."
Y/N breathed out. "MJ Watson, Ned Leeds, Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, they're the smartest and most remarkable people I've ever met in my entire life. I'm the dumbest person because I got them involved and let them help me...but if they didn't help me then millions would've died, so please, don't let MIT be dumb like me."
"MIT is dumb?" She asked.
"No! I'm saying, don't let MIT be dumb. I mean, like, the dumber version of me that wouldn't have let them help." He replied nervously then smiled.
"You didn't rehearse that did you, Y/N?"
The teenager let out another sigh. "Basically, what I'm trying to—"
He suddenly heard the familiar high-pitched sound between his ears. Y/N honed in on his spider-sense to detect what exactly was coming, but for some reason, it was going haywire and got louder than usual.
Y/N jumped onto the lady's car and looked around the highway. He saw a few people getting out of their cars and running the opposite way.
"Why are you running?" He called out. "What–?"
Suddenly, there was rumbling and he saw the road ahead breaking apart. Y/N crouched down and got in position as he reactivated his Iron-Spider suit.
"Uh...ma'am? You should get out of the car." Y/N said and then shouted at the running civilians. "Everybody get off the bridge!"
Metal actuators protruded from the ground and pulled cars through the holes. They tore apart the tarmac and let their user through the opening. One final tentacle slammed onto the floor and the man emerged from the smoke.

He stared directly at Spider-Man and smiled menacingly.
"Hello, Y/N."
The web-slinger confusedly waved. "Um, hello there. Do we—? Do I know you?"
