Summary
"What if everyone forgot who I was?"It's been three days after Peter Parker was erased from everyone's memories. He found a small, cheap apartment on the far east side of Queens. He's living off what Aunt May had saved up and his own earnings from his past part time jobs. It's the middle of winter and his apartment's heater is broken and everything in his life is a mess. He's afraid to find MJ and Ned again, and second guessing himself entirely, wondering if they are better off without him. And yet, the New York still needs Spiderman, no matter what Peter Parker's personal issues are. Peter uses crime fighting as a way to avoid the harsh reality that nobody on Earth knows he exists. One night, while handling an illegal arms deal in Brooklyn, Peter's helped by a man with a metal arm. Extremely strong, fast, and clearly experienced, his appearance and fighting technique seems vaguely familiar to Peter. An old memory jogs Peter's mind: "You have a metal arm? That is awesome, dude!"
