Later on, the young man wakes up in a bed at the Parker Mansion.

"Woah, where am I?" He asks himself.

He slowly gets out of bed and sees pictures of Peter and his parents.

"Is that... Peter Parker? But the last thing I remember, I was with.... ohhhhhh." Tim says, making the connection that Peter Parker is Spider-Bat.

He then looks over and sees a passageway leading down. Meanwhile in the cave, Peter talks with Andrea, Ben, and Jill about the kid.

"The boy has a high fever, but other than that he's fine." Ben says.

"Yeah, the same thing happened to me when I was bitten." Peter says.

"How is it possible that someone else was bitten by a radioactive Spider?" Jill asks.

"Well I think Jason proves that they're still around. I guess one of them found this kid recently." Peter replies.

"So, how long is he going to be out for?" Andrea asks.

"I don't know. When I was bitten was Out until the next morning, so it could be that. Could be longer." Peter says.

"Whoa!" A voice says behind them.

They all turn around and sees the boy fully awake and admiring the cave.

"This place is awesome!" He says.

"Or, shorter." Peter says.

"If you knew how many times I dreamed about this place." Tim says with a smile.

"Uh, kid? We need to talk." Peter says.

The boy then gets even more excited.

"No way." He says as he walks over to the Scarlet Spider suit.

"It's the real Scarlet Spider suit, isn't it?" He asks.

Peter smiles.

"Yeah, it is." Peter says.

"Hey, whatever happened to him?" The boy asks.

An awkward silence then passes by, confusing the boy. Peter then kneels down to him.

"Hey, what's your name?" Peter asks.

"Tim. Tim Riley."

"Tim, by any chance, were you bitten by a Spider recently?" Peter asks.

"Yeah I was. Bit me right on my hand. How'd you know?"

Peter smirks at the child.

"Because... the same thing happened to me."

Tim pauses for a moment then realizes what this could mean and smiles.

"Now hold on a minute." Peter says, not liking the smile.

Tim doesn't listen and starts running towards a wall.

"Tim, wait." Peter says.

Tim then runs up the wall and onto the ceiling.

"This is the best day of my life! I'm just like Spider-Bat!"

Peter sighs with a smile then webs up to the ceiling with Tim.

"Why don't we keep talking on the ground, ok?" Peter says.

Tim agrees and the two get off the ceiling and talk more.

'So, what did Two-Face want with you?" Peter asks.

Tim scowls when he hears the question.

"My old man used to work for that creep. But that was before he split town." Tim says.
