Peter walked down the hallway of the motel after leaving his room, his hands inside his pockets. He wasn't sure what to think of everything that has been going on. The halls were empty, for it was late at night.
He wandered over to the soda machine, putting in 75 cents immediately to hear a thud. The soda seemed to make a plop sound down to the bottom. Bending over to take the drink, he found a note under the soda, entitled 'Spider-Man'.
Peter took the soda in one hand and the note in the other, looking around for anyone who might have left the note. He opened the note and read it over to himself. Taking one final look around the area, he walked back down the hall until he reached his room.
Dirty white eyes opened in the shadows down from the soda machine as they formed into the eyes belonging to someone who would be grinning.

Leaping out the window of his motel room, Peter Parker (as his alter ego Spider-Man) fired a web-line to a nearby building and swung down the street.
This is all too weird, and greatly timed at that! Spidey thought to himself as he continued to web-sling down the street towards the bay area. Let's recap, in case some of you weren't here. My wife's missing (presumed dead!), my clone (which I thought died over a year ago) has returned, there's a new female Goblin out to get me, and my apartment just got trashed! He couldn't help but add a few maneuvers to his swinging to try and rush it all out of his mind.
It could be coincidence then, I guess. He continued, I hear all the planets are supposed to be aligned this week.

Spidey was on top a ferry towards the Statue of Liberty, which he really couldn't help but find something odd about. As the ferry docked at the Statue of Liberty Island, Spidey leaped off with tremendous force, throwing himself onto the lower body of Lady Liberty.
Our hero continued on his way towards the top of the Statue until he reached the very top, where he climbed through the open sections at the top. He walked around the dark room cautiously, where only the moonlight lit the room. Spider-Man was in a spider-stance, waiting for anything.
"Heellllooo... Mr. 'Anonymous.' It's your friendly neighborhood wall crawler..."
Spidey's eyes darted around the room, when suddenly he was struck from behind. He'd been tackled! The first thing that came to mind was that his spider-sense didn't react. He thrusted away from the person, throwing his feet onto a nearby wall to cling. He looked towards the person with angered eyes.
"And just who do we have here today?"
"Hello Spider-Man. We are Chaos..." They walked out from the shadows into the moonlight in their own type of spider-stance, grinning evilly.
"Oh, I don't believe this!"
Chaos' grin remained, leaping towards Spider-Man, who simply kicked off the wall and struck Chaos in the jaw with a powerful spin crescent kick. Chaos was thrown into an office table, and crashed through it.
Spidey simply dropped to his feet, standing ideally with one hand on his hip and the other pointing a finger to Chaos.
"You're supposed to be an offspring of someone like, Venom or Carnage. Personally, I
expected better... 'Chaos.'" Spidey smirked.
"Grrrrowl... don't believe I know the two you mentioned."
Chaos leapt towards Spidey once more with it's vicious claws. Spidey instinctively leapt over the oncoming Chaos and delivered a kick downwards into her back, throwing her into the ground hard.
Spidey flipped backwards, landing behind the fallen Chaos.
"This is sad."
Chaos rolled over in anger and threw their foot into Spidey's stomach, quickly darting up with tremendous speed, slashing upwards into an uppercut. Spidey went flying backwards into a great stumble, nearly falling to the ground.
Man, I really underestimated her. I should have known better then to underestimate
someone with the powers and abilities of Venom and Carnage! A lot things I should have
known, especially that this was obviously a trap! Spider-Man thought.
Spidey paced around Chaos for a moment, ready for the oncoming fight. Their eyes met, each with two different appeals. Chaos', a grin. Spidey's, a look of trying to intimidate his opponent.
"So who set you up this?"
"Pretty lady, goes by the name Rose Goblin? We think you know her.."
"Oh yeah, we go way back."
Chaos jumped forward, slashing and clawing at Spidey, who simply pulled back and to the side of the oncoming blows, his spider-sense still not kicking in. In anger, Chaos darted towards Spidey, but was surprised to be flying out of the window behind our sneaky hero. Spidey had dodged to the side with tremendous speed.
Chaos went head first down the Statue of Liberty, unable to keep herself from stopping and struck the grass below her extremely hard. Spidey darted down the statue with great ease to the kneecap area of it, looking down to the unconscious Chaos.
"I think it'd be best if I took you with me, lady."

Spidey finished webbing up Chaos in a tight web-caccoon. Surprisingly, she was still unconscious. Firing a web-line around it to use as a strap, he put the Chaos filled cocoon around his back and leapt towards the ferry; which was about to leave.
"Next stop, Reed Richards!"

Scarlet Spider landed atop the Daily Grind's edge, looking down to the people entering in and out. He knew that he probably couldn't ever go back to his life in New York, because everyone believed him to be dead.
As he looked down to his former employer through the window, he shook his head slightly and fired a web-line to a nearby building, swinging off towards the moonlight. He knew that he didn't belong here, and he knew he needed to start all over, once again.
