Brooklyn, New York. Three Years ago.

There was a thunderstorm brewing in the Big Apple, as a blackout had occurred in one of the Five Boroughs, two linemen were seen working on the power lines connecting to a property owned by Oscorp. One of them had a name tag which read Max Dillion.

Max: (Is seen at the truck) Alright, let's try again!

Lineman: Okay! (Works on a fuse) Did that work?

Max: (Sees a lightbulb flickering) Barely, but that's progress!

Lineman: Alright, well that's good!

Max: (Turns to the lineman) Hey, can you hurry this up? I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be!

Lineman: What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?

Max: Oh, haha! Very funny! Seriously, I got a girlfriend waiting for me to get her takeout!

Lineman: A girlfriend, huh? What's her name?

Max: Francine.

Lineman: Francine? That's a nice name! Something the kids might-! (His foot slipped, causing him to fall) AHHH!

Max: (Sees his coworker in trouble) Whoa! (Moves to catch him) Gah!

Lineman: (Gets caught by Max) UGH!

Max: (Fell to the ground) OOF!

Lineman: (Gets his head up, looking up at the ladder and then back to Dillion) You saved me...

Max: Yeah, no kidding! (Gets up, extending a hand) You alright?

Lineman: (Gets his hand, getting up) Yeah! Thanks, man! I really appreciate this!

Max: Hey, it's no problem! I'm just glad to help out!

Lineman: (Smiles) Hey, you should be really happy right now! Because once we back, I'm gonna be talking a lot about how you saved my ass! Maybe it'd get you a promotion!

Max: Yeah, that'd be nice! (Looks up at the sky, seeing lightning roaring in the skies) You know what? It's getting too nasty out here! (Turns to the lineman) Maybe we can have someone else take care of this!

Lineman: Oh, that's damn right! (Turns to leave) Hey, you and I should hang out next week! Drinks are on me!

Max: (Smiles) Sure man!

As the two walked to their van next to an Oscorp truck filled with chemicals, Dillion checked out his phone for messages, revealing three missed calls and one text message.

Unknown: (The user's message is seen on Max's phone) They know! RUN!

Max: (His expression turns into fear as he read the message) Oh god.

Lineman: (Turns to Max) Hey, Max! You alright? (Isn't aware of a red dot pointed at his chest) You don't look so good-!

Max: (Turns to the Lineman, seeing a red dot on him) LOOK OUT!
