REUNIONS AND GOODBYES

The next day In the Batcave, multiple Talons, including Richard Parker Jr slowly wakes up, strapped inside a machine. He looks over and sees frozen Talons beside him, then sees Peter standing infront of him. The crazed Parker laughs and smiles wickedly at his little brother.

"So this is where you trapped my brothers."

Peter nods.

"Extreme colds seem to be the only way to stop you all." Peter replies.

"That or a bullet to the head... oh I forgot... you don't kill, because mommy and daddy cry up in heaven when people die." Richard says, mocking Peter.

"Something like that." Peter replies.

"Why am I still awake, little brother? Wanted to plead for your life?"

Peter stays silent for a moment.

"I wanted to offer to help you."

Richard is shocked.

"I had... no idea that it was even possible for me to have a brother. And you might be out of your damn mind... but you're still family, and our father wouldn't want this for you. Please, big brother... let me help you." Peter says with compassion in his eyes and voice.

Richard is genuinely shocked by Peter's offer, so much so that he actually considers accepting it.

"There is no helping me, Peter. It's too late... our paths were chosen, the day we were born. There's no changing what I've become. Just like there's no changing what you've become."

Peter sighs, then reluctantly presses a button to start freezing Richard.

"This won't hold me forever, Peter! I'll be free, and I'll finally end both Peter Parker and Spider-Bat!" Richard says before becoming fully frozen.

Peter just stands there and stares at his so called brother, feeling conflicting emotions about him. Ben soon joins him, wearing a coat and ear muffs.

"It's so bloody cold in here." Ben says.

"It's a freezer, Ben." Peter replies.

"Very true, sir."

Ben then notices the distant stare Peter gives to Richard and sighs.

"You couldn't have known, Master Peter."

"I know. I just... wish things were different. It's not entirely his fault, he ended up the way that he did. Besides, I- always wanted a brother." Peter replies.

Ben puts his hand on Peter's shoulder and the two share a smile and leave.

Meanwhile, in Arkam Asylum, Harry is in his cell, staring at his coin. As he starts to wonder what it would have landed on back at the Parker Mansion, he hears familiar laughter in the cell across from him.

"One bad day HAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh kiddo, you have done your papa proud." A voice says.

Harry slowly turns and sees the White Goblin.

"You're like your old man, just like I said! I mean blowing up a city block? That just screams Goblin! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Harry becomes saddened when he's reminded about what he's done.

"Oh cheer up sport. You should be relieved. I mean look at you! Now you're the spittin image of me. Who would have seen that coming?"

A scowl appears on Harry's face.

"There's no going back now... might as well embrace it." Harry says.

Norman laughs.

"That's the spirit, son! Now all we need to do is come up with a name, something that matches your new appearance. How about... Half N Half? No, that's not it... split down the middle? Nah, too wordy....half Goblin?"

"No." Harry says.

"Yeah, you're right, you should be your own man."

"Two Face... call me Two Face."

Norman's smile gets even bigger.

"I like it! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Meanwhile, Felicia is preparing her motorcycle in a dark alley to leave the city again.

"You're leaving for real this time." a voice says behind her.

Felicia jumps and quickly turns around to see Peter standing behind her.

"Jesus. Don't you ever just say hello?"

Peter smirks.

"Where will you go?"

Felicia sighs looking out in the distance.

"I don't know. Hells Kitchen maybe."

She then turns to Peter and smirks.

"What? You're not gonna ask me to stay this time?"

Peter chuckles, stepping closer to Felicia.

"That didn't work the first time. Plus, you came back in the end anyway."

"I wanted to finish what I started with the Court. Don't go thinking I came back for you."

Peter smiles.

"Never even crossed my mind." He replies.

As the two share a smile, Felicia turns away with a serious look on her face.

"You know this place is never going to change, right? It's just going to get worse for you. It's going to get bloody." Felicia says.

Peter stays silent for a moment.

"I know. But this city can change."

"It won't."

"I have to try."

"It's gonna kill you eventually, you know that." Felicia says, with a tear in her eye.

Peter doesn't say anything as Felicia wipes her tear away, grabs Peter by the hand and puts her hand on the side of his face.

"Come with me... We can get into some trouble, run across rooftops, mess up some headboards. It'll be fun... You don't owe these people anymore. You've given them everything."

Peter grabs Felicia's hand on the side of his face, secretly wanting to accept her offer, knowing that he can't.

"Not everything... not yet. I made a promise. With great power- comes great responsibility."

As Felicia sighs out of disappointment, they both look up at the sky and see the Spider-Bat signal.

"I guess... You're already spoken for anyway."

The two stare into each others eyes for a moment, and when Peter leans in for a kiss, Felicia pulls away.

"You should go." She says, walking away and getting on her bike.

"Felicia." Peter says, stopping her in her tracks.

".... Take care of yourself."

Felicia smiles and nods, then puts on her helmet and drives away.

Peter sighs but knows he can't wallow for long, taking off his shirt to reveal his Spider-Bat suit.

As Felicia drives away, she looks at her rear view mirror and sees Spider-Bat swinging towards trouble in the City he vowed to protect, with a smile on her face.

"Goodbye, Spider."
