Norman sits in his cell with a straight jacket on, watching the news about Spider-Bat holding up a building and saving thousands of lives. At that moment, the lights and TV cut off and Spider-Bat appears behind him.
"Well, it's about time I have a visitor. Do you know that my own son hasn't been here to visit me once? Talk about ungrateful." Norman says.
Peter doesn't say a word and just stares at Norman.
"The silent treatment, again?... fine, have it your way. If you're here about your little secret, don't worry I'm not gonna spill the beans." Norman says.
"Why?" Peter asks.
A big smile appears on Norman's face and gets into Peter's face.
"Because I don't care who you are under that mask. Or rather- who you pretend to be when you're not wearing it. See you- complete me. And if I tell people- it complicates this game that we're destined to play forever." Norman answers laughing.
Peter glares at Osborne.
"You still don't get it, do you? We both exist because of them! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
At that moment the lights come back on and Peter disappears as Norman continues to laugh in his cell.
Meanwhile at the Daily Bugle, Vicky Vale argues with J Jonah Jameson.
"It's my story J.J."
"It's my paper Vale!" Jameson yells.
"If I publish your version of the story then it would be a lie. Spider-Bat saved those people. He didn't cause the explosion, you saw it for yourself."
"Yeah? Have you watched the incredibles before Ms. Vale? What if this menace is pulling a Syndrome, huh?"
Vale sighs.
"Look. You either print the story like it is- or I walk. I heard the Daily planet is hiring. I hear Metropolis is really nice this time of year." Vale says with a smirk.
Jameson scowls at Vicky.
"You wouldn't dare." Jameson says.
"Try me." Vicky replies.
"Fine, fine. But we only praise this web headed, bat eared freak once on this paper. Ya hear me? Once!" Jameson says.
Vicky smiles.
"Thank you."
In the Batcave, Ben reads the newspaper while Peter tries to tie his tie to go Gwen Stacy's funeral.
"I do believe that this is the first time the Bugle has said anything nice about you, sir."
Ben looks over and sees a quiet and focused Peter struggling to tie his tie. Ben smiles and walks over to the boy.
"Let me help you sir. I always did help your father with this afterall."
A slight smile appears on Peter's face.
"Thank you Ben."
"My pleasure sir. Are you ready for today?"
Peter doesn't answer for a moment.
"No. But I have to say goodbye." Peter replies.
Ben nods and finishes tying Peter's tie. The young man grabs his glasses and leaves the cave.
At Gwen Stacy's funeral, everyone is there. From George Stacy, Jill Stacy(his niece) and his ex wife Helen who are crying in each other's arms. Bullock and Montoya who are standing behind the commissioner. And Harry Osborne who is crying beside Peter. When they drop her casket into the ground, tears start to flow down Peter's face, as it really sinks it that Gwen Stacy, the one that he loved, is really gone.
When the funeral ends, Peter stands infront of Gwen's tombstone, remembering every moment the two shared together. At that moment Commissioner Stacy stands beside Peter.
"She loved you, ya know? Ever since you two were kids." Stacy says.
Peter smiles, with sadness in his eyes.
"So did I. I don't know how to go on... Not without her."
George stares at the young man for a moment, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't. Take her with you." He tells him.
The commissioner then walks away and Harry approaches Peter.
"Hey man. How are you holding up?" Harry asks.
"I'm taking it day by day."
"I'm so sorry, Pete. I never would have thought that my dad would- do something like this. I should have stopped him when I first saw him." Harry says through tears.
Peter gives his bestfriend a hug.
"It's not your fault, Harry. You aren't responsible for your father's actions." Peter tells him.
Harry nods, wiping away his tears.
"Thank God for you Peter. You're the only family I have left."
The two share a smile between each other.
"So what are you gonna do now? Rebuild Oscorp?" Peter asks.
"No, that place can stay burned down for all I care. I want to do something for this city, something that matters. Something that will help avoid stuff like this."
Peter smiles.
"Well, I got your back in whatever that maybe." Peter says offering his hand.
Harry smiles and shakes Peter's hand.
"Thanks Pete."
The two walk with each other as Peter keeps looking back at Gwen's grave.
That night, Spider-Bat swings onto the top of the clock tower, the place where Gwen died. He takes off his mask and puts down a rose. He then looks up at the sky and smiles.
"I love you Gwen." He says.
At that moment, the Spider-Bat signal shines through the night sky, catching Peter's attention. The young man puts on his mask and jumps off the clock tower, shoots out a web and swings through the city, seeing that what he's doing matters. That he has had an affect here. Just not the one he intended. He knows that he'll have to become more. People need hope. to know that there's someone out there for them.
Like him, the city is angry...scarred. But he knows that scars can transform others. They can give people the power to endure. And the strength to fight. So he continues the fight. For New York. For his parents. For Gwen.
