PETER What?
Peter, May, and Happy turn towards the TV. The local news is live with helicopter footage of the outside of the apartment. The lower third graphic reads: "SPIDER-MAN'S IDENTITY REVEALED."
MAY (gasps) Is that--
HAPPY Is that here?
PETER Um...
The distraction is over. Peter sighs, slumps over, and pulls up the blind TO REVEAL...
INSANITY. HELICOPTERS. PEOPLE gathered on the streets and nearby rooftops, calling out Peter's name.
May and Happy join Peter at the window. Looking out at the chaos. Mouths agape.
PETER (CONT'D)
I mean, maybe it's not such a big deal?
Practically everyone in the theater look at him with a raised eye brow.
"Really no big deal?" Tony asks looking towards Peter. Peter sinks into the chair a nervous smile on his face.
"I wanted to think it was"
"Uh-huh, sure kid, it was no big deal"
NEWS BROADCAST: INT. DAILY BUGLE.NET NEWS DESK - DAY
"Ugh, I hate this guy" Peter sighed quietly.
J. JONAH JAMESON (V.O.) SPIDER-MENACE!
CLOSE ON a "WANTED FOR MURDER" sign with Peter's alarmed face. Over that, someone has given Peter devil's horns and graffitied in bright red ink: "CRIMINAL!"
"how creative" Natasha said chuckling at Peter's shocked face. Tony, had mixed feelings wanting to laugh at how shocked Peters face in, what appears to be his school photo, and silently plotting to murder J Jonah Jameson. Jeez even his name is Alliteration.
FLASH! The image turns black -- a photo-negative -- and slides towards the upper righthand corner of the screen to reveal J. Jonah Jameson at TheDailyBugle.net news desk.
J. JONAH JAMESON Governments around the world launch investigations into the murderer known as Spider-Man!
The onscreen graphic changes to Peter's school photo next to a pair of handcuffs and a headstone that reads: "MYSTERIO."
SMASH TO:
J. JONAH JAMESON (CONT'D) A.k.a Peter Parker! A.k.a. The Web-Headed War Criminal--
PULL WIDE to reveal Jameson's "news desk" is a cheap digital backdrop in a cluttered, conspiracy theorist's apartment.
J. JONAH JAMESON (CONT'D) --Who for years has been terrorizing the decent citizens of New York.
"By terrorizing you mean politely helping old ladies, returning bikes, saving the world, then yes it was a real terrorizer attack, we should all live in fear of him" Tony deadpanned, causing others around him to laugh.
Peter smiled, he missed Tony.
FLASH TO various newspaper and magazine covers:
-- THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: The school photos of Peter, MJ, and Ned have been photoshopped into mug shots under a headline that reads, "TRIO OF TERROR: PARKER'S CRONIES REVEALED!"
-- TIME MAGAZINE: An illustration of Spider-Man as a crying baby in a diaper under a headline that reads, "IRON MAN JR? HOW DID A RECKLESS TEENAGER BECOME TONY STARK'S HEIR APPARENT?"
"Heir apparent?, it all makes since now, Peter is his adopted kid!?" Bucky mocked gasping, earning chuckles with people who have heard Tony rave about the kid.
-- IN-TOUCH WEEKLY: Half of Spider-Man's mask over half of Peter Parker's face. The headline reads, "WORLD EXCLUSIVE! TWO FACED -- HOW PARKER MAINTAINED HIS DUPLICITOUS DOUBLE LIFE AND WHY HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED."
J. JONAH JAMESON (CONT'D) Well now this city, and the world, see him for what he truly is!
AMATEUR PHONE CAMERA FOOTAGE of Spider-Man being doused with green paint as someone yells:
people winced at the green slime that dripped on him, he didn't deserve this.
MYSTERIO FANATIC (O.S.) Murderer! Mysterio forever!
Peter sighed, he knew that people would believe what they would believe but he wished New York could've seen how it was truly like, how he had been tricked, betrayed and--In a flash he remembers Tony's corpse telling him it was his fault.
It was his fault. the words echoed in his brain and turning his stomach.
His Fault
HIS FAULT
"Kid? You okay?"
"Yeah, its no big deal"
