Karen opened the door to Nelson and Murdock's law firm to see Matt and Foggy sitting at their desks having a conversation.

"So I got Miss Hardy's requests finished, the money has been donated to F.E.A.S.T and the May Parker foundation has been setup and will launch once we find a suitable location. It will start in the United States and then expand to the rest of the world." Said Foggy with a smile as Matt sat there, staring into thin air as he listened to Foggy.

"That is great, but did you notice something strange about Mr. Parker?" Matt asked as both Foggy and Karen looked at each other.

"No... did you?"

"That's the thing, I don't know. There is something there but I simply can't put my finger on it. I just got a strange feeling is all." Said Matt as he shook his head and took a sip from his now cold coffee.

"Should we be worried?" Asked Karen as she placed fresh coffees on all of their desks. Matt placed his hand on hers and smiled at her in thanks before speaking again.

"No I don't think so, I wasn't getting anything negative from him."

Unknown Back Alley in New York City.

"Why does she always have to throw a tantrum and kick me out? I mean come on, I was just out having a drink with the guys and I have to come home to that crap" Sighed a civilian named Anthony. He had just come back from a get-together with his friends when he got home and his wife started to yell at him for coming home so late. He tried to smooth things over but she told him to go stay at a hotel. Now here he was taking a shortcut to the hotel through an alleyway while he was contemplating if his marriage was over.

"Am I not allowed to have fun?" He asked himself.

Suddenly he heard a noise behind him. He turned quickly and saw a trash can in the corner with its lid now on the ground. He sighed with relief before falling to the floor in Fright as a cat came running out from behind the trash can and ran away into the night.

"You stupid cat! I hate this city..." Anthony stood up and dusted himself. As he finished cleaning the grime from his pants he suddenly felt something dripping onto his shoulder. He looked at it and noticed large amounts of drool as well as breathing against his neck.

"What the hell" He turned around and came face to face with a sick smile.

"Hello there..." Was all the thing said before he grabbed Anthony by the face, causing the man to scream out into the night.

The Raft

Harry sat in his cell, staring at the wall in anger. He had failed, he failed to kill Spider-Man... He failed his father.

"Osborn stop staring at that wall, we have some things to discuss."

Harry turned to see the doctor had entered his cell accompanied by several guards. She sat down on a small chair beside his bed.

"Osborn, I have some information I need to give you." She said as she finally got his attention.

"Tell me then, I don't have all day..." Harry said with malice.

"Watch it, Osborn, talk to me like that again and I will not treat you again." She said with a stern look. "So your results came back, the disease you were fighting has gotten worse."

"How can it be worse? I am already dying." Harry Snapped

"Well it's escalated, it's escalated quicker than I thought it would. With my updated calculations, you have about 6 months to live... I am sorry Osborn."

"Get out!"

They all did as he asked and left the cell, leaving the man alone with his thoughts.

"If I ever see you again Spider-Man... I am going to kill you." Harry said to himself before his emotions got the best of him and he started to bawl, with the news that no matter what, he was going to die."

Peter & Felicia's Apartment

"So where do you want to get married asked Felicia as she and Peter sat on their sofa watching tv. Miles was currently on patrol duty so Peter had some time to relax.

"I don't know.. I was kinda thinking of getting married where my Aunt and Uncle got married but it's honestly up to you Felicia. I want you to have the wedding you deserve."

"Peter we could get married in the sewer and I wouldn't care. As long as you are groom, I am happy." Felicia said causing Peter to crack a smile.

"I mean the sewer would be a lot cheaper..." Said Peter causing Felicia to hit his arm.

"You and your jokes, do you want to sleep on the couch tonight instead of our comfy bed?"

"No Ma'am" Said Peter Sheepishly.

"Good... So" Felicia was cut off by Peter's phone going, it was Miles so Felicia told Peter to take it.

"Peter.. you gotta get down here man, there has been a murder and the guy... the guy has been really messed up. I am at the alleyway just off 5th."

"Okay Miles I am on my way... call Captain Stacy through the app."

"What's wrong with Miles asked Felicia with worry on her face.

"He found a body and it's pretty bad so I am gonna go check it out and make sure he is good... I love you" Said Peter as he pulled on his mask.

"I love you too.. Please be safe" Said Felicia as she placed her forehead on his masked one.

"I will, be back later okay?"

"Okay.."

Felicia let him go and watched as he swung out to help Miles.
