Summary
Peter rocks up on Nelson and Murdock’s doorstep looking every bit the part of a drowned rat. He tells them he is nothing but a young man with a dead family and a suspicious claim to a fortune left behind by Tony Stark himself. The letter clenched in his fists tells them he is a liar. A cheat who manipulated an ailing billionaire into giving him everything he wanted.
Peter’s heartbeat, however, tells Matt that he is terrified. That somewhere beneath the corrupted records and missing memories and Peter’s carefully constructed lies there is an unmistakable truth that Matt has heard before.
Peter Parker is Spider-Man. And Peter Parker needs his help. If only Matt could remember the last time he apparently did this exact same thing before.

Or, the story that explains how Peter could afford that apartment in Brand New Day. And how he almost lost it.
