EXT. MILLENNIUM GATE MUSEUM - ATLANTA, GEORGIA - NIGHTTIME

A few friends who didn't listen to the warning to stay inside takes pictures with the gate

FLASH
(Taking pictures of his friends)
3..2..1..

Flash takes the photo of the group

BETTY
(Having fun)
How did the picture turn out?

FLASH
(Looking at the photo)
I think the photo came out good--

All of the other friends looks at something in the air behind the guy who took the photo

FLASH
(Continued, looking at the friends)
Wanna see it? *Confused* What do you see?

Flash turns around and sees Goblin hovering over him

GOBLIN
Boo.

MARK
(Scared)
Run!

Goblin pulls out another pumpkin bomb to kill the group but spider-man takes it out of his hand then throws it before it explodes

SPIDER-MAN
You know I'm getting tired of those things right?

Spider-man starts attacking Goblin giving the group a chance to run away. As spider-man dodges the attacks Goblin lands to fight him as well

SPIDER-MAN
(While fighting)
You know, I never should've underestimated that karate class you took in high school. Hell of a right hook.

GOBLIN
(Responding while fighting)
And where did you learn to fight?

SPIDER-MAN
(Thinking)
Uhh mostly the Mortal Kombat video games and karate movies, so in terms of training I have no experience.

Goblin bear hugs Spider-man then flies off again

INT. PARKER RESIDENTS - LIVING ROOM - NIGHTTIME

MJ is pacing back and forth in the living room watching the news

JAMESON
(In the background)
As the chaos between spider-man and goblin grows and property damage increases the taxpayers are thinking about one thing.. their money! Because who knows the amount of money it will take to rebuild our broken buildings and roads, this is one reason why we shouldn't have a spider-man!

May turns off the TV, to calm her nerves about everything she starts a conversation with MJ

MAY
It's pretty nerve wracking to know that the person out there saving us is someone we know personally huh?

MJ
All of this is a lot to process, you seem so calm in all of this, aren't you just as worried as I am? He might die out there!

MAY
As an auntie I don't want him to do any of this, I just want him to have a normal life and be happy but he can't so it's not up to me. All I can do now is support him while he's Spider-man and I think you should do the same but on your own time when you're a little less scrambled.

MJ
I just wished I had seen the signs earlier. Peter showed up to my house when I called him, leaving early in the morning, getting taken at the park? I just need time to think.

MAY
Take all the time you need, If you need us to talk to when Peter gets back Ben and I will be in Peter's room.

MJ
Okay, I'll be out here for a little bit.

May leaves the living room to go back into Peter's room

INT. PETER'S ROOM - NIGHTTIME

May walks into Peter's room, Ben is on Peters laptop at his desk observing what's going on through peters lenses

BEN
You okay?

MAY
Conflicted and confused but I'll be fine. How's Pete doing?

BEN
He's doing good, he just stopped another car with his body again.

MAY
And that's normal to you?

BEN
Well it wasn't back then but it is now.. Is MJ okay?

MAY
She's ok. But her mind is jelly.

BEN
Guess she didn't take the whole Peter is spider-man situation thing lightly?

MAY
Let's just say both of your childhood friends getting superpowers and don't tell you about it then one trying to kill the other isn't something that flies over somebody's head.

BEN
Is it that bad?

MAY
Peter just needs to talk to her, who knows she might be understanding.

BEN
And what if she doesn't? Things were going so well for them.

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHTTIME

MJ hears the conversation from the other side of the door

MAY
(Inside Peter's room)
At least she'll be okay.

Instead of going into the bedroom MJ walks away

EXT. IN THE AIR - ATLANTA, GEORGIA - NIGHTTIME

Spider-man swings around the city to find a safe place to fight Goblin while he chases him

SPIDER-MAN
(Swinging)
Gotta get Goblin out of the city! *On the phone* Unc any suggestions!?

BEN
You'll have to take him to SkyLine park. It's closed due to the mayor's evacuation warning. Knock him out and get him to Oscorp.

SPIDER-MAN
Thanks Unc.

Goblin catches up to spider-man to try and hug him but his spider sense kicks in just in time. Spider-Man let's go of his web line

SPIDER-MAN
(Swinging away)
Follow me!

GOBLIN
With pleasure!
