Summary
Peter Parker was a ghost.
He was an outsider looking in at the world and having no real place within it. He was the shadow at the back of the lecture halls at MIT, the quiet oddity that no one thought to look twice at.
He’d learnt how to separate his life, separated Spider-Man and Peter Parker until they were just two beings existing in the same vessel. Spider-Man was extraordinary; Peter Parker was unremarkable. He left New York behind, left the Avengers behind and existed within a world that no longer knew his name.
But when an internship opportunity at Stark Industries was presented to the students as a surprise, Peter finds himself shoved back into a world he left behind.
But there’s something odd happening in the streets of New York. Something rotting, a pestilence sweeping in silently in the form of strange criminals and even stranger weapons. Spider-Man, delving deeper into this unravelling web of corruption, realises that perhaps nothing is how it seemed, perhaps nothing about his life was ever truly his.
After all, how far does free will go, if everything about his life has been dictated by another?
