The film started playing.

The camera zoomed in on a city reduced to rubble. The words "Ixtenco, Mexico" appeared on the screen.

"What the hell. . ." Tony said quietly. What happened there?

Hill: Nick, this was a tragedy, but its not why we're here. What, are we fighting the weather now?

Nick: Locals say the cyclone had a face.

Hill: People see things when they're under stress. That does not mean that
this is the start to some other, big, world-ending...

Something hits the ground, covered in green smoke. Hill and Fury immediately pull out their guns, pointing at it.

"What is that?" Tony looks at Peter. Peter simply gestured toward the screen, as if saying

See for yourself.

It is revealed that there was a man in the smoke. He looks at them, confused.

Mysterio: Who are you?

A huge monster that appears to be made of stone erupts from the ground behind them.

"What the hell is that?!" Peter turned to see that Flash was the one who yelled.

"Just watch the movie, and you'll see." Peter responded simply.

Mysterio: You don't want any part of this!

He shoots green gas at the monster, and the screen goes black.

(A/N: I'm not going to add the Marvel intro because that would not make any sense, because in this book Edith made the footage.)

The words "in memoriam", flashed onto the black screen and the song 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston began to play in the background.

"Oh shit." Peter said. "Edith, pause the footage."

Edith listened. The movie paused on the black screen, waiting for Peter to say unpause it. Everyone looked at Peter, curiosity and confusion on their faces.

"Okay." Peter sighed. "A lot of people died in the attempt to bring everyone back." He looked down. "But remember, this has not happened yet. After we watch this, I will show you what went wrong, and you can fix it. They will not die, because you will know what's coming. Okay?" He looked up. He was greeted with a lot of nodding, and he turned to look at the screen. "Edith-" he hesitated, glancing at Mr. Stark. "Unpause it."

A picture of Tony Stark appeared on the screen, indifferent to the shock that was caused in the audience at the appearance of his picture.

Tony stared at his picture on the screen. For some reason, he wasn't panicking. It didn't seem real, or it seemed like a very far away obstacle, that he could easily overcome. He glanced at Peter. He was staring at the screen with a look that Tony couldn't quite understand.

The next photo that appeared was of Steve Rodgers, standing heroically in his Captain America suit.

Everyone stared in shock at the screen. Both of them? Tony and Steve? How?

But then Peter spoke up. "Actually, he's not dead. Everyone just thinks he is."

He looked back at the screen, not offering any further explanation, but it was enough. A few people had a look of confusion on their faces, but they didn't question Peter.
