"Unlock 17-A." Tony orders. A pod launches from the upstate Avengers headquarters and curves up to the accelerating circular ship. "Pete, you gotta let go. I'm gonna catch you."

"No, I need to save her!" Peter says, gasping from lack of oxygen. He pulls off his mask "I can't breathe!"

"You're too high up. You're running out of air." Tony says

"Yeah! That makes sense." Peter passes out, free-falling, but not for long before the pod reaches him. It attaches itself to him, becoming the Iron Spider suit. Now being able to breathe, Spider-Man lands on the bottom part of the ship, standing up heroically. "Mr. Stark, it smells like a new car in here!"

"Happy trails, kid. F.R.I.D.A.Y, send him home."

"Yep." FRIDAY responds. A large parachute extends from the new suit, snatching Spider-Man free of the ship's hull and him spiraling back to Earth.

"Oh, come on!" Peter shouts. Iron Man latches onto the hull and cuts a hole to board the ship, looking for wherever Stas, Strange, and Ebony Maw went.

"Boss, incoming call from Miss Potts."

"Tony? Oh, my God. Are you alright? What's going on? Where's Stas?" Pepper asks worried

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just think we might have to push our 8:30 res." Tony replied

"Why?"

"Just 'cause I'll... probably not make it back for a while." He says looking around

"Tell me you're not on that ship."

"Yeah."

"God, no. Please tell me you're not on that ship."

"Honey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but they got my daughter and I need to save her"

"Come back here, Tony. I swear to God...."

"Pep...."

"Come back here right now! Come back!" Pepper glitched

"Boss, we're losing her. I'm going, too...." FRIDAY says


Spider-Man is revealed to have managed to shoot a web to the outside of the ship, foiling his parachute, and clambers inside a slowly-closing chamber.

"Oh my God! We should have stayed on the bus...." Peter says, referring to him and Stas. Ebony Maw, hands engaged in the ship's steering mechanism, accelerates into hyperspace.


Ebony Maw interrogates Dr. Strange. Dr. Strange is floating horizontally, face down, and is surrounded by dozens of glassy needles, each about two feet long. While Stas lays unconscious in a chair.

We see Tony who is watching, hidden, from above. The Cloak of Levitation taps Stark on the arm. He raises his hand to it, ready to shoot, but he sees what it is and stands down.

"Wow you're a seriously loyal piece of outerwear, aren't you?" Tony asks

"Yeah, uh, speaking of loyalty...." Peter says. Tony and the Cloak turn to face Peter, dropping down from above

"What the--" Tony asks shocked

"I know what you're gonna say."

"You should not be here." The Cloak moves to "stand" at Tony's side

"I was gonna go home--"

"I don't wanna hear it."

"But it was such a long way down and I just thought about you on the way..."
