Recap[]

Miles Morales: Up until about a year ago, my life was pretty normal. I lived in the greatest place ever—Brooklyn, represent! Had two cool parents. And loved all things science and superheroes. Everything changed, though, when my dad was killed in the City Hall bombing. ...I I couldn't believe he was gone. But Peter Parker and his Aunt May, they were there for me. And so was Spider-Man... who I later found out was Pete. Crazy, right? Then when the Devil's Breath Crisis started, things got intense. Seemed like all of Spidey's villains were on the loose. I managed to do my part to help him out. And, after all that—believe it or not—a spider bit me and I started to... change. I didn't want to worry my mom, so I went to Pete. And now? We're officially Spider-Bros! He's been training me up, and I'm actually getting pretty good with this whole web-swinging thing... I'm still learning to juggle this responsibility with everything else in my life: school, friends, a new home—I moved to Harlem a few weeks back. but I'll tell ya—I can't wait to see what the future holds!

Hold Onto Your Web-Shooters[]

Subway P.A: Now arriving: 125th Street. Be advised: unscheduled service disruptions are affecting the Harlem line. This is the final train to Harlem today.

Neighbour: (Thanks, kid.)

Miles Morales: (No problem) That is so cool! I got you—

Mural Painter: Hey thanks.

Miles Morales: No problem. Hey uh, you think you're gonna add that new Spider-Man, too?

Mural painter: The kid? Yeah. Maybe. Original's just... my guy, you know?

Miles Morales: Yeah. I know. Hey, is Teo's Bodega around here?

Mural Painter: Yeah—bright yellow sign, down the block. Can't miss it.

Miles Morales: Thanks. Beautiful work, by the way. Maybe leave a little room for the new guy— just in case. The convoy...

(After the cutscene.)
On-screen: Hold to swing.

Miles Morales: Woooohoooo! Let's go!

(Upon completing a swing.)
On-screen: Release to detach.

(While swinging.)
Miles Morales: Hey Pete—headed your way! Did I miss the convoy?

Peter Parker: Not yet—they're still securing a couple inmates.

Miles Morales: Bet it feels good, seeing the guys who escaped last year going back to the Raft.

Peter Parker: Real good. The Raft's an eyesore, but it's secure. As long as the octopus related flaws have been fixed...

Miles Morales: Let's hope. OK—closin' in on you. Be there soon!

On-screen: While holding , press to jump and gain speed.

(After landing.)
On-screen: Press to jump, then hold to swing.

(While swinging.)
On-screen: Press to Web Zip.

Miles Morales: Should let Mom know I'll be late.

Rio: Miles, (what's up?) Did you get the shopping list?

Miles Morales: Hey Mom. Yeah. But, uh, the bodega was out of coconut milk. Gonna check a store downtown.

Rio: Oh thank you—but avoid Midtown! That prison convoy is making traffic a nightmare.

Miles Morales: Oh yeah. Good call. See you at dinner, Mom! (hangs up) Man, how does Pete do this secret identity thing? Completely stresses me out.

Miles Morales: OK. Be cool. Helping Spider-Man protect a giant prison convoy. You can handle this. Breathe in. Breathe out. Be cool.

Miles Morales: Pete? You here?

Peter Parker: Just downin' some rocket fuel.

Miles Morales: How are you... drinking?

Peter Parker: Very very carefully. OK: Go Time!

Helicopter Pilot (radio): Helix 2 en route with heavy payload.

Police Officer (radio): Copy, Helix 2. We've got you on scope.

Miles Morales: This is... a big operation.

Peter Parker: It's gotta be. Hundreds of felons escaped from the Raft last year. Now it's time to move 'em back in. Police aren't taking any chances. Especially not with our guest of honor.

Helicopter Pilot (radio): Getting a lot of interference here.

Miles Morales: One of those guys who helped Doc Ock is in there?

Peter Parker: Think so. Could be Vulture, could be Scorpion... Could be... someone bigger. OK... We got a problem.

Peter Parker: Hold back, Miles, let me ta—

Miles Morales: I got this Pete, don't worry—

Miles Morales: Miles no—

Miles Morales: It's secure!

Police Officer: You're drifting, Helix 2.

Peter Parker: Miles!

Helicopter Pilot: We have a weight imbalance.

Police Officer: Correct to two-three-six—

Helicopter Pilot: Rudder's unresponsive. Brace for impact!

Police Officer: Helix 2 is going down.

Helicopter Pilot: Brace brace brace—Helix 2 is down. No casualties. Payload compromised.

Police Officer: Response team dispatched. Sit tight, Helix 2.

Miles Morales: Pete I'm so sorry man I... I didn't mean to —

Peter Parker: It's OK. We got this. Just need to contain it before —

Peter Parker: ...before that happens...

Rhino: Hello, tiny spiders.

Peter Parker: Miles: I've got Rhino. But you have to contain the escapees.

Miles Morales: Right. Contain. I'm on it.

Miles Morales: Pete's never gonna trust me on a mission like this again...

Prisoner: Nice work with the helicopter, kid. Real heroic stuff.

Miles Morales: Hey guys, how about we call a time out, talk this through? Please? No? Alright then.

Peter Parker: How's it looking out there?

Miles Morales: Good. Almost contained. Nearly almost contained...

Prisoner: Look out for his webbing!

Miles Morales: Can't let Pete down. Need to get this under control.

Peter Parker: Rhino wait wait—Whoa hey! Great arm! You ever pitch? Seriously: you're triple A, easy. Whole new career, just waiting for you!

Miles Morales: Man... he's too good...

Peter Parker: How're the streets, Spider-Man?

Miles Morales: Honestly? Kinda terrifying.

Peter Parker: Christmas in New York. Love this town.

Prisoner: Never seen the big guy up close like this—freakin nuts!

Prisoner: He's a work'a art, alright.

Miles Morales: Not the phrase I'd use...

Peter Parker: Aleksei—favorite holiday music—nothing post-1965: go! Love that one. Mine's—line's Fa la la la la, la la la laaaaa!

Prisoner: Guy's a freakin' acrobat!

Miles Morales: Wow. Just wow.

Prisoner: I got the keys, let's move!

Prisoner: Hurry up, we gotta get out of here!

Peter Parker: Miles... I'm gonna need a hand up here—you free? Your holiday spirit's a little overzealous this year, Aleksei.

Miles Morales: Aw man... Hang on Pete, I'm comin’!

Police Officer: You wanna grab take-out?

Police Officer: Holy crap!

Police Officer: That's not good.

Miles Morales: Oh-hey-sorry-happy-holidays! Uh, Pete: scale of 1 to 10, how we doin’?

Peter Parker: 10 for generating spectacle, 1 for minimizing destruction. Tomorrow's Bugle headline's gonna be a doozy.

Miles Morales: Worst thing outta this is a bad headline, I'ma count us lucky... Oh crap crap—the Winter Bash! Pete, this is starting to feel real bad man.

Peter Parker: Don't think like that. We're going to stop him, as long as we work together. Speaking of, mind giving me a hand up here?

Miles Morales: Yeah. Yeah! I got you. OK Pete—ah! I got this.

Peter Parker: Take it away, cowpoke!

Miles Morales: Oh whoa whoa wait not the mall!

Rhino: Hang on tight, tiny spider.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man hey, need a little help—whoa oh hey whoa whoa whoa!

Peter Parker: Comin' in hot! Got you! And you're safe. You too!

Miles Morales: Do you have any non-destructive hobbies?

Rhino: Fly Fishing on the Valga.

Miles Morales: That sounds... nice.

Rhino: The power over life and death... excites me.

Miles Morales: Oh, baby! Less nice. Gotcha!

Mother: Thank you!

Miles Morales: You're welcome!

Miles Morales: Don't! Scare! Babies!

Miles Morales: Hey, uh, you know you're ruining Christmas, right?

Rhino: The last six Christmases I was locked behind 30 feet of steel. I intend to enjoy this one.

J. Jonah Jameson: "He's a MENACE"... Eh, too soft. "He's a LOW ENERGY menace"... Too easy... maybe: "He's a WEAK MINDED-" OHH!!

Miles Morales: Hey Jonah, looking good!

Peter Parker: Very festive.

J. Jonah Jameson: JARED! HE WAS HERE! RIGHT HERE! RIGHT HERE JARED!

Rio: (Son, where are you?) It's getting late.

Miles Morales: Hey. Mom. Yeah. Coconut milk. Still trying to find it. Been kind of uhh... an adventure.

Rio: Are you... running?

Miles Morales: Yeah, uh, sorry. Trying to catch a train.

Rio: (Hey now, don't be a liar.) Grab the milk, and hurry home, please.

Miles Morales: (Yes, Mom. I love you.)

Rio: (I love you, too.)

Peter Parker: Now or never Miles—We gotta stop him!

Miles Morales: On my way!

Peter Parker: We gotta bring him down, fast.

Miles Morales: Yeah. Yeah, what do we do?

Rhino: Let us raise temperature.

Peter Parker: Oh bad bad very bad...!

Miles Morales: Pete, are you OK?

Miles Morales: Oh no. Oh no no no—

Peter Parker: I'm okay. I've got him. Headed your way. Be ready.

Miles Morales: Okay. Yeah. Might, uh, need a minute.

Prisoner: You're a dead man.

Miles Morales: Tip for the police: maybe don't bring RPGs to the prison convoy, next time. Maybe don't bring RPGs anywhere...

Police Officer: Get outta here Spider-Man, you're making things worse!

Miles Morales: Man, I'm trying to help you!

Police Officer: Focus fire on the platform!

Miles Morales: More guys up top...

Prisoner: He's movin’ fast—don't lose him!

Prisoner: RAAHH... rush him!!

Prisoner: I'm not going back inside.

Miles Morales: Pete: it's getting hairy out here. Police and escapees are shooting it out.

Peter Parker: Back up the police. I can hold out... a little longer...

Prisoner: He's in the air—get him!

Miles Morales: Pete's counting on me. I gotta stop these guys.

Prisoner: Say goodbye!

Miles Morales: They're all over that bridge!

Rhino: (shouting) Tired, Spider?

Peter Parker: Just need a quick NAAAAAAP!

Miles Morales: Pete can't lose! He never loses...

Prisoner: Pain train, pullin' in!

Peter Parker: Miles... need your-

Miles Morales: Pete? Pete! Hang on man, hang on! Spider-Man, you good? Pete... Pete! Pete, wake up. Wake up, wake up, man! Wake up, man!

Rhino: This Spider-Man is broken. I would like to exchange for new one. Ah. This one will do.

Peter Parker: Miles... get out of here...

Miles Morales: Bro. Back. The Hell. OFF! What... was that? How'm I even doing this? Electrocytes? Some kind of field induction?

Rhino: You survive while your mentor perishes. How unexpected.

Miles Morales: And you're using words longer than "CRUSH" and "SMASH." VERY unexpected. You're not gonna keep pushing people around, Aleksei! I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone else.

Rhino: I am excited to see you try, small one. Two Spiders, squashed at once. Like poem...

Miles Morales: Whoa hey whoa—

Rhino: Get... OFF!

Miles Morales: Hey, in the future? Just do the time, man. No more breakouts. Please. Flattery's not gonna get you out of this, Aleksei. You've hurt a lot of people today, Aleksei. Too many. You know man, chasing you through the city, kinda felt like a wild, uh... What's the word? Wild GOOSE chase.

Rhino: Wild... goose? No. NO! I HATE CHASE OF GOOSE!

Miles Morales: You alive?

Peter Parker: Kinda.

Simon Krieger: Guys. Wow. Just wow. Simon Krieger. Head of RED at Roxxon Energy. Pleasure to meet you.

Peter Parker: You too. Uh. Sorry—think our ball landed in your yard.

Simon Krieger: No, you actually did us a favor. We, uh, just bought the place. We're planning to tear it down for a build, but, uh, looks like you beat us to it. I wanted to thank you... ...both of you. Taking down Rhino... solo? You are going places, bud.

Miles Morales: Thanks. But he—he's still dangerous—

Simon Krieger: You know, I always think these super troopers are overkill until... something like this happens. Oh, duty calls! Hey, uh, really great to meet you both—Haha. Future's looking bright!

Peter Parker: He's right. Let's clear out, let the police do their job.

Miles Morales: Yeah... yeah OK.

Peter Parker: Bio-electricity. Wow. Gotta be honest: little jealous.

Miles Morales: Hey, look, I got nothin' on the OG. Think we should run tests tomorrow? A little voltage analysis?

Peter Parker: Ohh... Man. Yeah. Sorry, I've been meaning to tell you: I'm not gonna be around... for the next few weeks.

Miles Morales: ...this some kinda Pete joke I don't get?

Peter Parker: No. MJ's headed overseas for the Bugle and requested me as her photographer. Kind of a working vacation for us.

Miles Morales: Oh man. Look, I dunno if I'm ready to fly solo. I screwed up today big time with the helicopter.

Peter Parker: But then you delivered big time. You saved my bacon, Miles.

Miles Morales: I got lucky...

Peter Parker: Hey, I did this gig for 8 years without back-up, and you better believe I screwed up LOTS of times. But that is how you learn.

Miles Morales: What's this?

Peter Parker: Christmas present. But first, you gotta take the oath.

Miles Morales: Oh. Um... OK.

Peter Parker: I promise to do everything in my power to protect this city.

Miles Morales: I promise.

Peter Parker: That's it.

Miles Morales: That oath a real thing?

Peter Parker: Totally. Definitely didn't just make it up. See you in a few weeks, Spider-Man. New York's ONLY Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: I'm New York's only Spider-Man...

Miles Morales: I'm New York's only Spider-Man! Please don't screw this up.

Parting Gift[]

Miles Morales: Yo Ganke!

Ganke: Dude! Rhino?! WHAT?!?

Miles Morales: Haha yeah. Where you at? You get into the apartment OK?

Ganke: Yeah—your mom let me in. Unpacked-slash-dumped my stuff all over your floor. Now I'm in the park, grabbin some air.

Miles Morales: Oh perfect—dip over to the amphitheater. Got something to show you.

Ganke: Dude is this spider-related? Please tell me you got a piece of Rhino's horn or something. Pics I've seen of the fight are straight up nuts.

Miles Morales: Ha. Definitely spider-related. And definitely better than a horn.

Ganke: Ohhhh—loving the suspense. I'm there!

Ganke: I will never get used to you doing that.

Miles Morales: Hey look, check it: Christmas present from Spider-Man!

Ganke: Open it! Dude. Put it on. I'll cover you.

Ganke: What? Never seen a guy change clothes in Central Park?

Miles Morales: Okay, how's it looking?

Ganke: Whoa...

Peter Parker: (cheesy horn noises) Miles Morales—congratulations and welcome to your very first Super-Suit! Head uptown for part two of this amazing gift...

Miles Morales: This is only half of the present!

Ganke: What's the other half?

Miles Morales: I'll let you know when I find it!

New Thwip[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Welcome to Just the Facts, with me, your truth-slinging host with the most, J. Jonah Jameson.

Miles Morales: What? Does Pete set his suits to auto play Jameson's show? Guy's a masochist.

J. Jonah Jameson: Sad news, listeners: my Christmas charity spectacular was canceled due to—MASKED VIGILANTE MAYHEM!

Miles Morales: Gotta be something better on. Ooo— been hearin' good things about this one.

Danika: Hello! I'm Danika Hart, and this is "The Danikast," where I spotlight the people making a real difference in our city. Today's topic? Oh... you know stockbrokers, for profit colleges, maybe the people who make internet videos auto-play? (laugh) No. OBVIOUSLY we're covering the Spider-Men's INCREDIBLE takedown of Rhino!

Miles Morales: Subscribe. Danikast: new favorite podcast.

Miles Morales: This is the place. Looks like Pete set up a lot of gear...

Holo-Pete: Miles—get ready for your first holographic training challenge! These challenges are spread throughout the city; each one focuses on a new move or technique. This one focuses on acrobatic improvisation. Get into position to start!

Miles Morales: Holo training? Oh I am so down.

Holo-Pete: First up: air combat. Fighting the enemy on your terms is a great way to gain the advantage. Now, follow up with a mid-air attack. And now a personal favorite: the swing kick. This holo-tech is next gen. With the right parts, bet I could make it portable...

Holo-Guy: Combat simulation: running.

Holo-Pete: Another key Spider-Skill: disarming. Disarmed opponents are far less dangerous, AND it's crazy satisfying to knock guys out with their own weapons. Total two-fer.

Miles Morales: Alright, yeah. This is dope. Bless Peter Parker.

Holo-Pete: Now, let's combine these two moves. Web yanking airborne enemies is a great method of crowd control.

Holo-Pete: Plus the sounds they make are hilarious. "Waaaaah! SPLAM." Classic.

Holo-Guy: Combat training: running. Melee attack sequence: active.

Holo-Pete: Surprise round—think fast!

Miles Morales: Alright I'm feeling this!

Hole-Pete: More guys incoming—heads up! Time for some free form practice. Use air combat and disarming to eliminate these enemies! Yeah Miles nice! Get 'em! LET 'EM HAVE IT! BRING THE—Whoa. Sorry, sorry—too much excitement. Um, y'know... keep up the good work.

Hole-Pete: And that's a bi-bi-bi-bingo

Miles Morales: Blue screen of death.

Criminal: —Tons of high tech gear we can sell—aw crap, Spider-Man! Take him out, then grab the gear!

Miles Morales: Y'all trying to catch some hands? Yeah? OK, let's go.

Criminal: Take the spider out, then grab the tech gear!

Criminal: Gonna make BANK selling this stuff off...

Miles Morales: Just so you know, this is official Spider-Man tech. Y'all are NOT authorized to re-sell.

Holo-Pete: Super Spider Entertainment System: Online. Beginning pre boo-b-b-boot-che-chec-ch-check—

Criminal: These guys are see-through. HOW ARE THESE GUYS SEE-THROUGH???

Holo-Pete: We-l-c-C-C-ome to Advanced Quip Tr-ain-ing-ing. R-Remember: SPECIFICITY is the heart o-f every gr-eat qu-ip-p-p. For example, instead of: "hey ugly!" Try: "Whoa, nice mask! Wait, th-that's you're f-ace-ace? Eugh!"

Miles Morales: That's not a quip. That's a straight-up burn.

Holo-Pete: Keep practic-ing. Soon you'll b-be quip-ping like a pro-pro-o—System err-e-error.

Miles Morales: That's it for the tech thieves. Now to fix the training sim... Kernel panic... let's try a BIOS reset... Nice, that did it. Looks like Pete made stealth, swinging, and combat challenges... Gotta check these out when I get a chance.

We’re Here For You[]

Ganke: Hey dude, I think you should check out Roxxon Plaza on your way home. I just walked by, and I'm pretty sure someone's breaking in.

Miles Morales: Uh, yeah, I'll look into it.

Ganke: Hey, so I want to hear more about your new spider powers.

Miles Morales: I think it's some kind of bioelectric discharge; or supercharged static electricity?

Ganke: Ooo, we gotta name it. How about "Venom Power!" Y'know, 'cause it stings?

Miles Morales: Okay, that's not bad. I'm gonna run—Plaza first, then home.

Ganke: Remember, "Venom Power." Trust me, it's gold.

Simon Krieger: Hi there! I'm Simon Krieger. And what you're standing next to is a Nuform reactor. Once activated, this reactor will supply enough energy to power all of Harlem. Now, I'm sure you're thinking: "Simon, how is that possible?" And the answer... is Nuform. Just one canister of this revolutionary fuel source is enough to supply Harlem with clean, safe energy for the next five hundred years. Soon, we'll be opening reactors throughout Manhattan, and then worldwide. Get ready for a planet powered by Nuform.

Roxxon: We're here for you.

Miles Morales: What was that?

Miles Morales: Hm. No sign of anybody. They broke a bunch of stuff— maybe they were looking for something... Huh—they did a search for 'Nuform.' What were they gonna do with—

Miles Morales: Man, this night will just not quit. Their tech is unbelievable! But Venom totally wrecks it... Yeah, Ganke's right. Venom's a good name.

Underground: Get him out of the air!

Underground: We'll hold him here— everyone else get upstairs!

Underground: He's moving too fast!

Underground: We're gonna need backup!

Underground: Gonna wreck you, Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Haven't seen you guys before. Nice glowsticks!

Underground: We'll kill you!

Miles Morales: More of 'em up on the balcony. What are these weapons? Memory metal?

Underground: Knock him down!

Underground: Gonna mess you up real good!

Underground: He's hurt, push harder!

Underground: Get him out of the air!

Underground: You're dead!

Underground: We want info on Nuform, ignore everything else!

Underground: C'mon-c'mon, find those shipping routes!

Ganke: Hey, you at the plaza?

Miles Morales: Uh-huh. You were right; it's a break-in. Sounds like they're after Nuform?

Ganke: Nuform? The stuff in the reactor?

Miles Morales: It's not installed yet. They're talking about shipments.

Ganke: Weird. Super weird. Hey—I did that grocery shopping your mom wanted, but she's wondering where you are. Dinner's almost ready.

Miles Morales: Crap, okay, I'll try to wrap this up. Thanks, man.

Underground: They're moving the Nuform into the plaza— find out how!

Underground: How many spider people are there?!

Underground: I'll make this hurt!

Underground: He's trying to get away!

Underground: Stay away from us, Spider-Man!

Underground: Stay away from his shock attack, or whatever it is!

Underground: Hurry up— Spider-Man's here!

Underground: I'm trying to get a pic — hold on!

Underground: You can't stop the Underground!

Underground: I got a hit— Nuform transportation routes!

Underground: Found it! Delivering to Tinkerer, hold him off!

Miles Morales: The Tinkerer? Who's that?

Underground: Fighting us was a big mistake. Huge!

Miles Morales: They were talking about Nuform shipments. I need to figure out what they found, so I know where they're gonna hit next. They were tracking Nuform shipments... but why?

Miles Morales: Roxxon security... They can take it from here. Gotta look into this later...

La Nochebuena (The New Year's Eve)[]

Miles Morales: I gotta get home. Christmas dinner's sounding pretty good right about now. I'll look into that group... and the Nuform shipments, tomorrow.

Miles Morales: It's too cold to change out here...

Miles Morales: Yeah. Fresh. Lookin' good.

Ganke: Mmm... This guava sauce is great.

Rio: What was that?

Ganke: All good. Little spill—Get it cleaned up real quick. All good!

Miles Morales: It's alright, man.

Rio: (Oh no... My son! So handsome!)

Miles Morales: (Thanks, Mom.)

Rio: I invited a guest tonight. Can you get the apartment ready? Maybe put on some music, set the mood?

Rio: Ah—Nadja.

Miles Morales: Really? Your campaign manager? On Christmas Eve?

Rio: Oh, tomorrow's rally isn't going to plan itself. Thanks for getting the apartment ready, mijo! Hello? (Hey, Nadja, have we already gotten the permit for tomorrow?)

Miles Morales: Glad Dad's tree survived the move.

Rio: Me too. He loved that little guy.

Miles Morales: "Ain't no Christmas like a Brooklyn Christmas." Miss hearin' him say that...

Ganke: (from another room) Clean... guava... priceless... heirloom...

Miles Morales: Guess Mom's not done unpacking, either. Heh, that wallpaper just screams "Abuela." What's that? Huh. Must've gotten mixed up in the move... One of Dad's old case files. Who's "the Prowler?" Wonder if Dad ever caught the guy. Dad's favorite album; he put this on every Sunday while he made coffee. Mom ordered, like, a hundred of these, 'cause the article mentioned Dad. "Who is the Spider-Man?"... If only you knew, ma'...

Rio: What's the pick, DJ?

Miles Morales: The greatest record ever...

Rio: This is perfect. Low-key, classy.

Miles Morales: You didn't like jazz when I was little.

Rio: (One second.) You know I don't want him coming around here. That doorbell's been broken for years—

Miles Morales: I just thought... never mind.

Rio: Miles, could you get that?

Miles Morales: Of course.

Rio: Wow, that's amazing. I'm glad you decided to stay in the city. It's fun having you in the house.

Miles Morales: Phin?

Phin Mason: Hey. Fixed your doorbell.

Miles Morales: It's so good to see you! How are you? It's been like...

Phin Mason: Months. A lot's changed.

Miles Morales: Yeah, it really has.

Rio: Is that our guest of honor? Come on in, you two. Dinner's almost ready. Phin, I'm so glad you could make it.

Phin Mason: Thanks for inviting me, Ms. Morales.

Rio: We missed you. Well, this one especially

Ganke: Uh, hi.

Miles Morales: Phin, this is Ganke, my friend from Brooklyn Visions Academy. Ganke, this is Phin, my best friend. My other best friend.

Ganke: Oh yeah, you guys won the middle school science fair at county, right? You made a, uh...

Phin & Miles Morales: Energy converter.

Miles Morales: Jinx!

Rio: The wiring in this building is such a mess...

Miles Morales: I'll check the circuit breaker.

Rio: (Thank you.)

Ganke: So... Christmas by candlelight?

Phin Mason: I promise I didn't break it when I fixed your doorbell.

Miles Morales: No good, breaker doesn't have power.

Rio: Looks like the whole block's out.

Miles Morales: Let me check if I can see anything from the fire escape.

Miles Morales: Definitely can't get to the transformer from here... unless you're super sticky.

Miles Morales: People on the roof; can't go up there.

Neighbor: Can you see any other buildings out?

Neighbor: Yeah, got the whole block.

Neighbor: Wish Roxxon's reactor would open.

Miles Morales: Reeeeally hope no one can see me up here...

Miles Morales: Don't look out the window, don't look out the window....

Phin Mason: Think Miles is having any luck outside?

Rio: I hope so. Hot plates are only going to get us so far in salvaging this dinner...

Miles Morales: Bioelectricity can take down Rhino, but can it save Christmas dinner? Come on. It worked! Oh man those lights are bright. Did not think this through. I gotta get back inside ASAP.

Neighbor: You said it.

Neighbor: Gorgeous. Never been so happy to see lights turn on.

Miles Morales: Keep 'em distracted, Ganke... Come on Ganke...

Rio: Is Miles still outside?

Ganke: Actually—what about a photo?

Rio: Right now?

Ganke: Yeah! You know... precious moments—you gotta capture 'em.

Phin Mason: Shouldn't we wait for Miles?

Ganke: No—he hates photos. Alright. Everyone squeeze in. Ready? Great photo, great photo—Oh. Hey, Miles.

Miles Morales: You guys sit down; I got this.

Rio: Phin, tell us everything you've been up to. You still in robotics club?

Phin Mason: I had to quit, but I've been studying biotech on my own.

Miles Morales: Nerd.

Phin Mason: Says the guy who has to wear an ascot to school.

Ganke: Hey! Only on Tuesdays.

Rio: Does your brother Rick still work for Roxxon?

Phin Mason: I don't know how anyone could work there after seeing your last campaign ad. You went for Simon Krieger's jugular.

Rio: That reminds me. Ganke, you have a certain flair for social media. Could you spread the word about tomorrow's rally?

Ganke: Yeah! We'll be trending by midnight.

Rio: Sometimes it feels like Simon Krieger's my real opponent. Roxxon has so much influence here, but they don't answer to anyone except their shareholders. Harlem needs someone to fight for the community.

Miles Morales: That's Mom's campaign-speech voice, in case you couldn't tell.

Ganke: Uhh... you wanna proofread these before I post 'em?

Rio: YES. Do not hit send! (runs to him)

Miles Morales: So, what's going on with you?

Phin Mason: What do you mean?

Miles Morales: You seem, I don't know, distracted. Wanna talk about it?

Phin Mason: Not tonight. It's Christmas. Hey, how're you handling the move from Brooklyn?

Miles Morales: I mean, it's fine.

Phin Mason: You hate it.

Miles Morales: Nah...

Phin Mason: That's your I-hate-it-but-i'm-too-nice-to-say-it voice.

Miles Morales: No, it's... I don't know anybody here. And I'm always having to ask for directions.

Phin Mason: You need to find a good restaurant. A barbershop, somewhere you can shoot hoops. You'll settle in.

Miles Morales: What if we hang out tomorrow? Just the two of us?

Phin Mason: You're not too busy?

Miles Morales: It's winter break. I can put off homework for at least another week.

Phin Mason: Okay, I'll text you.

Miles Morales: It's a date. I mean not a date, you know, a friend date.

Phin Mason: Still as smooth as the last time I saw you.

Harlem Trains Out of Service[]

Ganke: Miles!

Miles Morales: What.

Ganke: You awake?

Miles Morales: No.

Ganke: So I stayed up last night and designed an app for your new suit. Thing's got a crazy custom OS, nothing I've ever seen before, but I ran it through a disassembler so I could reverse-engineer the plugin architecture and...

Ganke: ...you just fell asleep again, didn't you? MILES!

Miles Morales: I'm up, I'm up.

Ganke: It's almost done compiling— Thank you. Ready to try out my app?

Miles Morales: Yeah man let's do this!

Ganke: I'm connected to your analytics. Let's test-drive this baby!

Miles Morales: Alright.

Ganke: I can see everything you see! How are you not puking all the time?

Miles Morales: Looots of practice.

Ganke: Welcome to Friendly Neighborhood 1.0. It lets New Yorkers directly request your help AND report crimes in progress.

Miles Morales: Nice UI.

Ganke: Thanks— oh look, someone just made a request! Request came from a guy named Aaron Davis.

Miles Morales: Wait, what? That's my uncle.

Ganke: Does he know you're Spider-Man?

Miles Morales: No. It's gotta be a coincidence. I'm headed to the subway stop.

Aaron Davis: Ugh... what is going on...

Miles Morales: Uh... hey there. You needed some help? I'm Spider-Man, by the way.

Aaron Davis: Yeah, I know — Aaron Davis. I think somebody's messing with the sensors— I'm getting bad data from the main relay, up top of Grand Central—

Miles Morales: On my way!

Aaron Davis: Wait—wait!

Miles Morales: Yeah?

Aaron Davis: Where's the other Spider-Man?

Miles Morales: Oh— he's on vacation. But don't worry, I got this.

Miles Morales: He definitely didn't recognize me. Oh, he's... calling through the app? This is Spider-Man.

Aaron Davis: Hey, forgot to mention: there was a break-in last night, right next door, at Roxxon Plaza. Group called "The Underground." Caught 'em hanging around my stop this morning,

Miles Morales: The Underground... You know anything else about them?

Aaron Davis: They think of themselves as a "young mafia." They've been around awhile, but now they've got a new boss. "The Tinkerer."

Miles Morales: Tinkerer. Thanks for the tip. So uh, you call Spider-Man often? Like for help?

Aaron Davis: Heh, didn't really have a way to get in touch 'til this app thing. But I saw you on the news last night taking down Rhino. Figured you were the right person to call.

Miles Morales: Heh, cool. Have you, uh... been working at the subway long?

Aaron Davis: Naw. Took the job last year, after my brother— Well anyway, I was trying to make some changes, decided this job was a good place to start. The trains going down on my watch doesn't exactly paint me in a good light. The trains going down on my watch doesn't exactly paint me in a good light.

Miles Morales: Well, when we fix 'em, you can tell your boss you showed initiative by using the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man app.

Aaron Davis: I'll do that. Good luck with the sensors.

Miles Morales: There's the sensors. There are way too many wires on this one. It's gotta be messing with the signal.

Miles Morales: Where do these cables go?

Underground: Hey!

Miles Morales: Hey yourself!

Miles Morales: Signal relays are being jammed by something... This is crazy tech. Hate to do this, but...

Aaron Davis: Sensors are back online. What did you do?

Miles Morales: Took care of the guy messing with it. And it looks like they left some of their toys behind. Hey I'm gonna have to call you back.

Miles Morales: Whoa... Bet I could use this to make those holo-drones Pete designed! This tech has a pretty unique RF— wonder if I can track it. Huh— looks like there's a bunch more of these around the city.

Miles Morales: Perfect time to try out those new holo-drones.

Holo-Guy: Hello. Please let me assist you. Target: damaged.

Underground: Dude's got holo-tech, look out!

Underground: I've got a lock on Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Hey, Underground! We gotta stop running into each other!

Holo-Guy: De-spawning combat companion.

Underground: This was never about you!

Miles Morales: This yours?

Underground: Keep him grounded!

Underground: Hurry up and ground him!

Underground: How many spider people are there?!

Underground: You can't stop the Underground!

Miles Morales: Okay. Hope the trains are running again. Should check in with Uncle Aaron.

Aaron Davis: Yeah?

Miles Morales: Hey Mr. Davis, how are things looking now?

Aaron Davis: I've got a signal, but no trains on the tracks. Something must've gone down at the yard.

Miles Morales: It was the Underground messing with your sensors. I'm thinking... Does Roxxon ever use the subway to ship Nuform?

Aaron Davis: Roxxon? Uh, the subway system was designed to carry people, not freight... but this line got some updates when Roxxon Plaza went in.

Miles Morales: So they could be using it under the table... Hm. I'll follow up on it. So, uh, you mentioned your brother. You got other family?

Aaron Davis: Haven't seen them in a while. I had to make some changes, like taking this job... but I miss 'em. Especially my nephew. We used to mix beats together.

Miles Morales: Well, maybe now you can see him again. Them. Your family.

Aaron Davis: Hope so, kid.

Miles Morales: Yeah, uh, I should go... fight Underground. Bye!

Miles Morales: Underground's wrecking everything. Maybe I can stop them quietly. Gotta split those guys up.

Underground: Hurry it up— Tinkerer told us to get in and out quick.

Underground: This stuff takes time, man.

Underground: What was that noise?

Miles Morales: Another one bites the dust.

Miles Morales: Don't look at me don't look at me... Good time to try out Pete's visor tech. Nice. Now I can track them. You're done. One down.

Underground: Hurry up, before the cops get here!

Underground: Someone's taking us out! Start a search!

Underground: The crew at Grand Central got jumped by that new Spider-Man—everybody hurry it up!

Underground: Everybody look around!

Underground: Someone there?

Underground: Look out gang, Spider-Man's around here somewhere!

Miles Morales: Siesta time.

Underground: Who's here? This a prank?!

Underground: Stay ready—Spider-Man's nearby

Underground It's Spider-Man; don't hold back!

Miles Morales: Didn't even see me.

Underground: He's got some kind of... gadget thing!

Underground: Firing on Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: I've got a theory: you're trying to intercept Nuform. Am I close?

Underground: Got a shot!

Miles Morales: That's all of 'em. Now to get the trains back on the tracks. Controls are probably in the office.

Miles Morales: Tinkerer... Unc said that's their leader... Oh, man, they wrecked the controls. Gonna have to get the trains back on the tracks by hand. Or web. I can use that turntable. That works! Almost there. Yeah, that's good! Now for the others. Underground looks up Nuform shipments, then kills the subways. Maybe they're trying to stop Nuform from reaching the city? Or... what? Yes! Okay, one more. That's right. It worked! We've got trains on the tracks! Now they need power. Hm. They busted the controls here, too — but not the generator. Okay, I can use that to power the trains... probably. My webs are conductive... C'monnn, frusty New York subway... Yes! Hey Mr. Davis, did anything change on your end?

Aaron Davis: Panels just lit up like Christmas. Good job, kid.

Miles Morales: Glad to help. If anything else comes up, just post a note in the app.

Aaron Davis: Wait a sec. I got a little something here for you. It's not much, but...

Miles Morales: For... for me?

Aaron Davis: It's the least I can do for the guy who just saved my job.

Miles Morales: Cool, cool. I'll head back now.

Peter Parker: Hey Miles! Just landed in Europe. How's day one of solo Spider-Manning?

Miles Morales: Pretty good. I stumbled on a conspiracy in my neighborhood.

Peter Parker: Classic. You have a plan?

Miles Morales: I'm sorta making it up as I go.

Peter Parker: The mark of a true Spider-Man. Well, If you need me, I'm a phone call away. And a cross-Atlantic flight, but it's fine.

Miles Morales: Sure man. Oh, and thanks for the gift: it is awesome!

Peter Parker: You earned it. On— MJ needs me, gotta go. Bye.

Ganke: Dude!! Fixing the subways made the app blow UP. You have so many requests! Like uh... on! This one's from Tee's. That guy rules...

Miles Morales: Oh, I should definitely check that out now that the whole city's counting on me...

Ganke: We're like the number-one app in NYC right now! Check it out as soon as you're done with your uncle. He still doesn't know you're you, right?

Miles Morales: Had a couple near-misses, but I kept my cover, I'll check the app soon as I'm done here. Later.

Miles Morales: Gotta hit Phin back when I finish helping Unc... Oh hey, Mr. Davis. I'm almost there.

Aaron Davis: You gotta hurry. Spider-Man, Underground's here. Putting bombs on the tracks.

Miles Morales: Bombs? For real?

Aaron Davis: Guess they didn't like you fixing things.

Miles Morales: I'll get there as soon as I can. Hang fight—and don't go outside.

Miles Morales: Gotta stop this, quick!

Underground: Get him outta the air!

Police Officer: We don't need you here, Spider-Man!

Underground: Go up there and get him!

Underground: We'll kill you!

Aaron Davis: They're gonna blow the whole line!

Miles Morales: Not if I can help it.

Underground: Can't fight us without the real Spider-Man!

Underground: What the hell — look out!

Miles Morales: Hope webs work. Okay, bombs are down. Now for these guys...

Underground: You can't beat all of us, not alone!

Underground: You never should've put on that mask!

Aaron Davis: There's more on the upper tracks!

Miles Morales: I'll get 'em!

Underground: Give up, you can't beat us!

Underground: We're the strongest!

Underground: You can't stop us, Spidey!

Underground: Get him down here!

Underground: You can't stop the Underground!

Underground: Get out of our way!

Underground: He's in the air!

Aaron Davis: Across the intersection, another one!

Miles Morales: On it! One more. So last night, you learn Nuform's getting shipped by train. Then today, you ATTACK the trains. Why? To stop Nuform? To steal it?

Underground: This was never about you!

Underground: You're weak, and we'll crush you!

Underground: Spider-Man's taking us out!

Underground: Look up, he's in the air!

Underground: Don't let him stay airborne!

Underground: Fighting us was a mistake, Spider-Man!

Aaron Davis: You did it, kid! Trains are back, Underground's done. You do good work.

Miles Morales: Underground did a number on my suit. Could do a patch job...

Miles Morales: You okay Mr. Davis?

Aaron Davis: Yeah. Thanks to you. Oh hey, here you go— One year unlimited subway pass. Did I get the name right?

Miles Morales: How did you—?! Um... okay, gotta go.

Aaron Davis: Hold up, Miles. I kinda suspected when I saw the news yesterday... ...watching your moves on those escaped cons. Juking guys left and right. Coulda sworn I was back at the park playing pickup with you and your dad. You were quick then— a lot quicker now. Don't worry, I won't tell your mom.

Miles Morales: Promise?

Aaron Davis: Promise. Look at you. If your dad could see you now.

Miles Morales: He'd probably freak out.

Aaron Davis: He'd definitely freak out. So you taking over for the other Spider-Man?

Miles Morales: Nah, like I said he's just on vacation.

Aaron Davis: Right. And he left you in charge.

Miles Morales: Yeah.

Aaron Davis: Lotta responsibility for a kid your age.

Miles Morales: I can handle it.

Aaron Davis: Hope so. But listen, you get in over your head, you give me a call.

Aaron Davis: I'm here for you. Got it?

Miles Morales: Got it. Thanks, Unc.

Miles Morales: Ganke said the app's blowing up... City definitely needs a Spider-Man. Should patrol for a while. Looks like Teo's bodega was robbed. Hope I can help. Can't feel too bad taking from the Underground.

Looters!!![]

Teo: Spider-Man? Spider-Man where ya at?

Miles Morales: Hey, I'm... right here?

Teo: What? Not you. My cat. Named after the real Spider-Man. Bunch'a jerks broke in here and robbed my place. Think they took Spider-Man, too.

Miles Morales: That's awful. You see where they went?

Teo: Overheard 'em say they're hitting the power substation. Couple blocks over.

Miles Morales: I'll find them. And your cat.

Teo: Sure, kid. Guess it can't hurt.

Miles Morales: Should probably call Ganke when I get there. Why would these dudes go to a power station? There's my way in.

Miles Morales: Ganke, I need help. Some dudes robbed Teo's bodega, then headed to the closest power station.

Ganke: Weird. You've got my full attention, watching through your livestream.

Miles Morales: They're shooting transformers? 'Kay...

Criminal: How many of these we gotta break?

Criminal: Do I look like an electrician? Just keep shooting and cutting wires, get the job done.

Criminal; Pft. Wasn't lookin' for orders, macho man.

Criminal: You sure it'll knock out the whole block?

Criminal: Reasonably sure.

Criminal: Hey, if we knock out more than one, it'll take the cops longer to catch on.

Criminal: Harder and harder for an honest criminal to make a buck in this town...

Criminal: Must've been nothin'.

Criminal: My turn!

Criminal: He can't take all of us!

Miles Morales: Lights out!

Criminal: Stay outta my business, freak show!

Ganke: This station's output is down to 64 percent. Maybe you can find a backup.

Miles Morales: Good thinking on the backup systems. You're good at this hero stuff.

Ganke: Heh, nah. I'm just a spectator.

Miles Morales: Just need to find Teo's cat...

Miles Morales: Spider-Man! Wait-Wait! Spider-Man went down that elevator shaft... Got it. I'm comin' for you, Spider-Man. Hang tight. Spider-Man—Wait!

Ganke: I think I know what these dudes want. There's a bank on this block. No power means no security.

Miles Morales: So if we fix the power, we're preventing a bank heist?

Ganke: Stopping crime before it begins. (in a cheesy voice) In a world where only two men can see the future, only they can stop it...

Miles Morales: Alright alright... gotta focus.

Miles Morales: Another win for Spider-Man!

Criminal: Look outside. Harlem's a mess right now. Boss knows an opportunity when he sees one.

Criminal: Crap, this was a mistake!

Criminal: I'm not gonna go out like that!

Miles Morales: Sounds like someone's paying them. Any idea— ?

Miles Morales: Wha...

Ganke: Sooo... Output's at zero.

Miles Morales: I got that.

Ganke: Pulling up emergency lights... okay, you can restore power if you charge the other backups.

Miles Morales: On it. Man, how many people does it take to bust a power station?

Criminal: You bring up the emergency lights?

Criminal: I thought you did.

Criminal: Nah.

Criminal: Could be one of the station workers. Keep an eye out

Miles Morales: Lights out for you.

Criminal: Power's already out, why we gotta keep cuttin'?

Criminal: To make sure it's done.

Criminal: You wanna half-ass a job for this guy?

Miles Morales: Here, take five.

Criminal: Good point.

Miles Morales: What's up! Who's your boss? Anybody I know?

Criminal: This ain't gonna end well for you!

Miles Morales: Need to find the backup systems. OK. Gotta push ahead. Find the main generator... and hope I can fix it. These guys keep talking about their boss. Any idea who it is?

Ganke: Dude, a lot of people want to rob banks.

Miles Morales: It was worth a try. There's the main breaker. Gotta clear out these guys, then figure out how to fix it.

Criminal: Stay sharp, boys! Someone's trying to undo our good work!

Criminal: Ain't gonna be small time forever, I got ambitions.

Criminal: 'Course there is. The boss, he's got too many enemies.

Criminal: Yeah, but he beats them every time.

Criminal: Not all of 'em. There's Spider-Man.

Criminal: Guys—we got a man down!

Ganke: Sounds like whoever planned the heist knows Spider-Man, and not in a good way.

Miles Morales: Has to be the other one.

Ganke: Yet.

Miles Morales: Great optimism, bro.

Criminal: Told Jimmy not to eat that yellow snow...

Criminal: Man, I shouldah gone to dental school.

Criminal: Once we get our cut, you can go to seven dental schools.

Miles Morales: Out for the count.

Criminal: New Spider-Man's really got zappy fingers? ...naw

Miles Morales: Another win for Spider-Man!

Criminal: Harder and harder for an honest criminal to make a buck in this town...

Criminal: Nothin'.

Criminal: Spider-Man's here—stay alert!

Miles Morales: Wish it was always this easy...

Criminal: Someone back me up!

Miles Morales: Time to check the breaker.

Miles Morales: Connection's solid... Let there be—

Derek: What the hell was that noise?

Derek: Here kitty it's okay.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man?

Derek: You can't have him! Don't you know it's rude to interrupt THE BONDING PROCESS?

Criminal: You don't stand a chance, kid!

Criminal: Ground him!

Miles Morales: Tell me who planned the bank robbery, give me the cat, and I'll let you go. Deal?

Criminal: No deal! Don't let him leave here!

Brute: Picked a bad day to mess with us!

Miles Morales: Seriously guys, give up your boss. I'll figure it out eventually.

Criminal: Ha! You think we're scared of you? He's ten times worse!

Brute: You're in for some pain!

Miles Morales: What do you mean your boss is worse? I'm mopping the floor with you!

Criminal: You don't kill people. Boss does.

Criminal: Just like target practice!

Brute: You're not walkin' away from this.

Brute: Got you now!

Miles Morales: Let's get outta here, Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: Hey man. Power restored, bank heist stopped, Spider-Man the Cat saved.

Ganke: All in a day's great work. I'm posting in the FNSM app about these guys and their boss—maybe we can get leads on who we're dealing with. Call ya soon.

Miles Morales: Hey Teo, got a surprise for you—

Teo: Oh yeah, what's that? SPIDER-MAN! Did you have an adventure? Oh. You almost gave daddy a heart attack! Oh yes you did! Oh yes you did!

Miles Morales: Yeah. Course.

Miles Morales: Hey man. Any leads on who our cat thieves were working for?

Ganke: I'm chasing down a couple problems that might be connected: robberies on Harlem's commercial strip, and something going down at F.E.A.S.T. North. I'll post in the app when I know more.

Miles Morales: Cool, thanks dude.

My Car's Gone![]

Miles Morales: Guy can't find his car. Maybe it was stolen...

Miles Morales: There's the dude that needs help. Hey man. Your car's missing?

EMT: Yeah, just finished a double shift. Came out to grab my car, but it's gone. I'm back on in twelve hours, and all I want to do is get home and sleep.

Miles Morales: I can make that happen. You have your key fob on you?

EMT: The beep boop unlock thing? Yeah, got it right here.

Miles Morales: Awesome. One lost car, soon to be found.

Miles Morales: Okay, I can track the signal from the key fob to find the car... Stealing a medical tech's car in the dead of winter. That's cold man. Literally and figuratively.

Miles Morales: Oh man, this place reeks of chop shop. The car's definitely here.

Criminal: Ain't that, like, ethically suspect?

Criminal: Could be like a nurse saving a life, or a family visiting their dying mother or something.

Criminal: We're stealing cars, man. Ethics left town a loooong time ago.

Miles Morales: This place seems to be full of "lost cars."

Criminal: Let's hurry up with strippin' that car from the hospital.

Criminal: I gotta get home an' get some sleep.

Criminal: You an' me both.

Criminal: Pulled a double today.

Criminal: Oh I am TIRED.

Criminal: Sleep's the A Number One thing, man. Good work comes from good sleep.

Criminal: You said it.

Miles Morales: Guys: you stole an EMT's car after he worked a double shift. That is beyond uncool.

Criminal: Aw man, we're just hard workin' Americans here, tryin' to earn a buck! Give us a break?

Miles Morales: Are you trying to guilt trip me into ignoring your grand larceny?

Criminal: He can't take all of us!

Criminal: You're smaller than the other guy!

Criminal: Get 'im!

Criminal: Got somethin' for you!

Criminal: Come on kid, let's play.

Miles Morales: Thieves down. Now I can use the fob to find the car.

Miles Morales: Hey there! I found your car—texting you the location.

EMT: Incredible! Hey—cops finally showed up here; I'll see if they'll drive me to you. Thanks again, Spider-Man. Gonna tell everyone to use your app! After I get some sleep!

Miles Morales: Glad I could help. Alright. Think my work here is done.

Reconnecting[]

Phin Mason: (calling) Miles, we still meeting today? Never got a text back from you.

Miles Morales: Oh—yeah! Sorry. Been wrapped up in my own stuff. But I'm free now-where?

Phin Mason: Sweet—78th and West End.

Miles Morales: 78th... by The Science Center? Why there?

Phin Mason: You'll see—don't be late.

Miles Morales: 78th and West End... guess I'll find out what she means. Better hustle over.

Rio: Hola, m'hijo. I wanted to tell you: my favorite food truck will be at the rally tonight. Look out for a logo with a giant gyro.

Miles Morales: Oh, heh, okay thanks for the tip. Oh, Mom, I wanted to ask— since you know everything going on in Harlem right now— have you heard of the Underground?

Rio: Ahhh, yes, they've been vandalizing Roxxon property. And I think they've been recruiting kids around the neighborhood. Why? They didn't try to get you involved in their mess, did they?

Miles Morales: No, no, Uncle Aaron told me about 'em. Uh... oh, yeah... I, uh, ran into him at the subway stop by our house. Did you know he's working there?

Rio: No. You know I don't want you around him.

Miles Morales: But you and Dad never told me why I wasn't allowed to see him anymore. He used to come by our place all the time,

Rio: That's for Aaron to explain. Give me one second! Sorry honey, we're still setting up.

Miles Morales: It's all good. Go save the world Mom, one vote at a time.

Rio: Have I ever told you you're my favorite son?

Miles Morales: I've got steep competition. Love you, bye.

Phin Mason: Hey molasses— up here! Fire escape's shakier than it used to be careful on the way up.

Miles Morales: So this is why you wanted to meet here.

Phin Mason: Almost bailed, you took so long. Gimme a hand, it's stuck...

Miles Morales: Time capsule's seen better days.

Phin Mason: You remember the combination?

Miles Morales: Yeah it's uh... man it's uh...

Rick Mason: You kidding me? Y'all gotta start remembering this code. Not always gonna be around to tell you.

Phin Mason: We'll remember, we'll remember.

Rick Mason: "We'll remember," yeah, yeah... Good. Now, uh, what're you gonna put inside this bad boy?

Phin Mason: Secret time capsule. Only Miles and I know.

Rick Mason: Boom! That's right. Keep it secret, keep it safe.

Miles Morales: Hey Rick, you gonna take that job at Roxxon, or what?

Rick Mason: Why, you gonna take it if I don't?

Miles Morales: Maybe. Waiting to see the offer.

Rick Mason: OK... competition, eh? Well, they're talkin' a good game. Want me to lead their clean energy group. And you know me—

Phin Mason & Miles Morales: Clean power'll save the world!

Rick Mason: I love my nerdy fan club.

Rick Mason: Oh... speaking of the devil—Roxxon. Back in a sec.

Phin Mason: You remember the code, right?

Miles Morales: Um...

Miles Morales: The Fibonacci sequence.

Phin Mason: Nice. Our award!

Miles Morales: I mean, our energy converter was pretty fire.

Phin Mason: Truth. You think it's still on display at the Science Center?

Miles Morales: Hope so.

Miles Morales: Wow. Look at us. Goober central. Rick lookin' suave as ever, though.

Phin Mason: Yeah...

Miles Morales: Something going on with him? You guys fight or something?

Phin Mason: No... no fight.

Miles Morales: Phin...

Phin Mason: It's fine.

Miles Morales: ...why did we really lose touch?

Phin Mason: Crap. Now I'm late. I gotta go.

Miles Morales: Hey: I feel like we both have stuff we're not sharing. Next time we hang... no secrets, OK?

Phin Mason: Yeah. Hmm... maybe. If you're on time. See you soon, short stuff.

Miles Morales: You know I'm taller than you now, right?

Phin Mason: (points to her head) Not in here.

Miles Morales: Middle school graduation was bittersweet. Phin went to Midtown High, but I got into Brooklyn Visions. Said we'd stay in touch... but man, high school's like a whole new world. Man, it was so good to see Phin. I should find the other time capsules we hid. But... a little later. I gotta get home for Mom's rally. Good time to use this unlimited ride pass.

Time to Rally[]

Ganke: Phone, check. Subway card, check. You got the house key?

Miles Morales: Yeah, I got it.

Ganke: Come on, we're gonna be late! Hey! Oh, dude, I am so filling your suit with snow. Are you still wearing your suit?

Miles Morales: Yeah, you know, just in case.

Ganke: It's gonna be fine. See, this is my favorite part of living in Harlem. Pop-up street fair, best food in the city, awesome music.

Miles Morales: Yeah, this is pretty cool.

Miles Morales: That looks really cool.

Hailey: (in sign language) (Thank you.)

Miles Morales: (in sign language) You're welcome.

Miles Morales: Oh — sorry.

Ganke: I should take ASL with you next semester. I've basically already mastered español.

Steff: Honey, you're worrying too much. We've done all we could.

Miles Morales: (Oh yeah? Since when?)

Ganke: Ha. Ha.

Miles Morales: (sees a graffiti) Underground tag. What d'you think they'll do next?

Ganke: Hopefully: realize fighting Spider-Man is too much trouble and decide to go home.

Miles Morales: Heh, if only.

Civilian: Good luck, Ms. Morales.

Rio: Thank you, Tim.

Ganke: Look. Roxxon's really into the "constant vigilance" thing, huh?

Miles Morales: For real.

Rio: (Good evening, neighbors.) Do you remember what we lost, when Roxxon bulldozed this block?

Ganke: Hey, you okay?

Miles Morales: Yeah. It's just, last time we did one of these, my dad..

Rio: That was Paulo's Creamery, home of the best hand-rolled ice cream in New York City. And Junipero's Daycare.

Ganke: It'll be okay, man. Your mom's got people looking out for her

Rio: St. Thérèse's Church, whose choir...

Ganke: Plus, now you're Spider-

Miles Morales: SHHHH. Hey!

Rio: Even now... Roxxon is transporting Nuform, its "experimental fuel," across the city... But they won't tell us the risks.

Mysterious Figure: This message is for Roxxon. The man you answer to, Simon Krieger, is a killer. This plaza is a monument to everything he's done. I won't let it open. The Underground will stop it.

Roxxon Security: We've got a situation here.

Underground: It's time!

Rio: Everyone stay calm!

Roxxon Security: Stay back!

Underground: Nowhere to run!

Roxxon Security: Weapons up!

Underground: You know what to do!

Underground: Let's do this.

Underground: Remember why we're here!

Ganke: They need you! I'll help your mom!

Underground: C'mon!

Roxxon Security: Stay back! I mean it!

Ganke: I got you.

Underground: The Tinkerer said focus on Roxxon!

Underground: This isn't about you, Spider-Man!

Underground: Don't let Spider-Man leave!

Underground: Go after Roxxon!

Miles Morales: You attacked the wrong rally! I stopped you at the subway; I'll do it again!

Ganke: Miles, we made it home. Nadja's driving your mom to the hospital.

Miles Morales: What?! Is she okay?

Ganke: She hurt her arm when she fell. Don't worry, we're taking care of her. What about you?

Ganke: What's the Underground doing?

Miles Morales: This attack doesn't make sense. I thought they wanted Nuform, but there isn't any here. I have to figure out the Tinkerer's next move.

Ganke: Okay. I'm logging into your analytics. I'll help how I can.

Miles Morales: Good idea. And Ganke? Thanks for helping my mom.

Ganke: Anytime, man.

Miles Morales: Gonna stop you and your glowstick guns!

Miles Morales: What was that...

Rio: Miles! (Oh thank God) — where are you?

Miles Morales: I'm... at home. But I can come to the hospital.

Rio: No, stay where it's safe.

Miles Morales: But you're hurt! What if something happens to you while I'm not there?!

Rio: M'hijo, this isn't like City Hall. We're all okay. You stay where it's safe, (understood)? I'll be back soon, and I'll even let you sign my cast.

Miles Morales: (OK, Ma. See you at home.)

Rio: (I love you.)

Aaron Davis: Miles, I saw what just went down at your mom's rally. You okay? Where are you?

Miles Morales: I'm headed to Braithwaite Bridge. There was an explosion.

Aaron Davis: Alright, but if Roxxon shows up, you run, got it? They'll look for someone to blame for all this, and it won't just be the Tinkerer.

Miles Morales: Okay. I'll be careful.

Miles Morales: That explosion looked bad... I gotta hurry.

Ganke: Looks like the plaza was just a warmup.

Miles Morales: Or a distraction.

Roxxon Security: Go go go!

Miles Morales: Whoa whoa whoa! Let's not shoot each other, alright?

Tinkerer: We're after the Nuform. Ignore everything else.

Tinkerer: Get rid of him. Then grab as much as you can carry.

Tinkerer: The hell are you doing?!

Miles Morales: Phin...? No...

Tinkerer: He's destabilizing it. Get down!

Tinkerer: Keep him busy.

Underground: He blew up the whole truck!

Ganke: Miles, I saw the explosion. Are you okay?!

Miles Morales: I'm fine, but— Did you see? The Tinkerer, it's Phin.

Ganke: Oh my God...

Miles Morales: I saw her today. If I'd just... if I'd just put everything together...

Ganke: This is not your fault, man.

Miles Morales: I was so happy to see her, I wasn't paying attention. I have to pay attention.

Underground: Can't fight us without the real Spider-Man!

Underground: The Nuform's gone! He destroyed it!

Miles Morales: The bridge is coming down...

Underground: Come down here and fight!

Miles Morales: I have to stop this...

Underground: You wont stop us!

Underground: The explosion was your fault! That wasn't our plan!

Underground: Oh my God, the bridge is falling!

Underground: We need to leave, now!

Underground: This is gonna hurt, Spider-Man!

Underground: You're no match for us!

Miles Morales: People are trapped over there— I gotta finish this so I can help those people...

Ganke: Oh my god.

Miles Morales: No, no! I gotta get people off the bridge. Before it comes down. The fire—! The bus!

Civilian: We can't get off!

Miles Morales: Everybody get out!

Civilian: Oh God, thank you!

Miles Morales: Don't worry! I got you!

Civilian: Oh God!

Miles Morales: No!

Civilian: Thank you.

Ganke: Those people; they're trapped!

Miles Morales: I've got an idea.

Miles Morales: Stick stick stick! I need something they can cross... Oh, no, no, no. I can stop this!

Miles Morales: Just... a little... closer...! Just a little... No!

Civilian: Spider-Man... thank you.

Miles Morales: I did this. My powers... I made it explode.

Miles Morales: Everyone's safe. After the explosion, the bridge started to—

Roxxon Security: We've got eyes on the other Spider-Man, please advise.

Ganke: What's going on?

Miles Morales: I have no idea.

Roxxon Security: Copy.

Miles Morales: No! No, I'm not your enemy.

Civilian: What're you doing?! He saved us!

Civilian: Hey, leave him alone! He's just a kid!

Civilian: I'm recording this!

Civilian: We're watching!

Civilian: Leave him alone!

Roxxon Security: You! Put that phone away, now!

Civilian: Yeah, I'm talking to you!

Roxxon Security: I said put that phone away!

Civilian: You guys are just bullies!

Civilian: Hey, get your hands off her!—

Civilian: Give him some space! C'mon!

Civilian: You can't kill Spider-Man!

Civilian: He saved us!

Roxxon Security: Leave now. This is your last warning.

Miles Morales: I saved them!

Roxxon Security: What the hell?! Where did he go?

Civilian: Oh my God.

Civilian: Did they push him?!

Civilian: What happened to him?

Miles Morales: What happened to Roxxon being "here for us"?! They were gonna shoot me! They didn't even listen!

Ganke: Are you okay?

Miles Morales: I don't know.

J. Jonah Jameson: Here today is Simon Krieger, discussing the destruction of Braithwaite Bridge.

Simon Krieger: Look, I want to root for the new Spider-Man but his— wh-what did you call it, bio-electricity?—-well, that cost us Roxxon property, and it destroyed a bridge! Roxxon had nearly dealt with the Underground when—

Ganke: This is messed up. That's not what happened!

Miles Morales: Phin's the Tinkerer. She stole the Nuform. No idea why... and it's my fault the bridge blew up.

Ganke: No, it's not—

Rio: I'm headed to the campaign headquarters. You boys need anything while I'm out? I could pick up dulce de coco.

Miles Morales: I thought you'd quit after last night?

Rio: Why would I quit? I said I'd fight for my home; I meant it.

Miles Morales: You could've... You could've died.

Rio: Our family doesn't give up. You know that.

Miles Morales: Mom! Dulce de coco (Coconut candy) would be great. If you don't mind.

Rio: I don't mind.

Miles Morales: When I got powers, I thought I'd be able to fix anything, do anything, that Spider-Man does.

Ganke: Whenever you say "Spider-Man," you always mean the other one. You're Spider-Man. You can fix this... your way.

Miles Morales: What's up New York!

Ganke: Hey man, things are big time now, huh? Feels like people need Friendly Neighborhood now more than ever.

Miles Morales: We've gotta think of a shorter name. All the good apps are one word. Alright.

Peter Parker: Finally got through...

Miles Morales: Oh uh, hey Pete. What's goin' on...

Peter Parker: I saw the news. It was in Symkarian, so either “a bridge exploded” or "a bagel was fumigated," which doesn't make any sense in context... either way, I'm looking at flights. I can be back tomorrow night.

Miles Morales: No, don't do that! It's OK. I've figured out who's responsible and I'm going to stop them. I promise.

Peter Parker: Okay, I trust you. But if you need help. I'll be on the first plane home/ Otherwise I'll see you when I get back in a few weeks, okay?

Miles Morales: Yeah, okay. Thanks. And good luck learning Symkarian.

Peter Parker: Why are there seven different words for "bathroom?"

Ganke: OK boss, what's the plan?

Miles Morales: Phin's family has a repair shop in Midtown. She used to do all her work there—if I'm lucky, she still does.

Ganke: Wouldn't it be easier to just call her and... talk?

Miles Morales: I don't think so man. Seeing her on the bridge.. I don't know that person. I need to figure out why she's doing all this.

Ganke: Aight man. Do what you feel is right. Keep me posted.

Someone Left the Lights On[]

Miles Morales: Shop's all boarded up. Sad to see it like this... Should find a low profile way in.

Miles Morales: Don't wanna draw attention...

Miles Morales: OK. THIS is a secret room... Phin must've designed all the Underground's gear... Funny how we've both started wearing masks... Video file... from six months ago.

Phin Mason: Running a test upload...

Rick Mason: Half my team is sick, but Krieger still won't admit it's Nuform. We need to do this tonight.

Phin Mason: Let me. You sure we're ready?

Rick Mason: We have to be. They broke ground in Harlem today, ahead of schedule.

Phin Mason: Poisoning the city to make a buck...

Rick Mason: They keep cutting corners, ignoring safety reports. I can't let them pervert my work like this, Phin.

Phin Mason: Okay. First we flush the core, then we wipe all data. You're sure they can't just make more of this stuff?

Rick Mason: No, no, as long as we take out the backup supply in Jersey, too. But without me, they'll have no idea how Nuform works. Project'll be DOA.

Phin Mason: I'll record us. Things go wrong, video uploads straight to the Bugle.

Rick Mason: Perfect.

Rick Mason: You ready to save New York?

Phin Mason: Ready.

Miles Morales: There's a second video...

Phin Mason: Ugh, damnit. No uploads. Phone must've been damaged... I won't let tonight be for nothing. (cries) I promise, Rick.

Miles Morales: They were trying to shut the Nuform project down, but something went wrong... Last known location of her phone. If I can track it—

Underground: He cloaked! He can cloak?

Miles Morales: Straight up vanishing really freaked these guys out... Can't get the drop on 'em til they calm down.

Underground: Don't let Spider-Man near the computer!

Underground: Not gonna make this easy for you, Spider!

Underground: Spider-Man's still here!

Miles Morales: Must've tripped a silent alarm or something...

Underground: I saw something...

Underground: Spider-Man! It's Spider-Man!

Underground: Hey, get back down here!

Miles Morales: More friends joining the fun...

Underground: Stay sharp, he's in the air!

Underground: He's moving too fast!

Miles Morales: That one felt good.

Underground: Stay out of our way, Spider-Man!

Underground: Guys, over there!

Underground: Just give up already!

Miles Morales: OK. Back to that computer. If I can find Phin's phone, maybe I can understand what happened to Rick... and why she became the Tinkerer... there—got a location.

Miles Morales: I should call Ganke, fill him in.

Ganke: Hey. Did you find anything in Phin's shop?

Miles Morales: Yeah. I know why she's doing all this. Something happened to her brother—something bad.

Ganke: Oh man.

Miles Morales: Rick was working at Roxxon. He was their lead scientist on Nuform.

Ganke: Whoa...

Miles Morales: And it looks like Nuform was making him sick.

Ganke: Simon Krieger's been telling everyone how safe it is...

Miles Morales: He's lying. Phin and her brother tried to shut down the prototype reactor, prevent further development.

Ganke: What happened?

Miles Morales: Don't know. Yet. Phin recorded the whole thing on her phone, but then she lost it inside the lab. I'm on my way to get it.

Ganke: Listen, I'm right here. Call if you need me.

Miles Morales: Will do.

Corporate Espionage[]

Miles Morales: Roxxon research labs. This is where the whole Nuform project got started. Phin's phone is in there somewhere.

Miles Morales: And I think I just found my way in... That vent has high voltage shielding. Wonder what powers it?

Roxxon Security: Hey!

Roxxon Security: Putting him down!

Miles Morales: Okay. Now to get into the building. Absorbing energy fried the generator... can't believe that actually worked... And I'm in. Got it. Breaking into a lab full of armed guards—Christmas break sure is different this year. I should be at home, taking naps, playing a ton of videogames, and eating like a hundred Christmas cookies. Which way... The tracker said the phone was pretty far below ground level.

Miles Morales: Uh-oh.

Roxxon Security: We got a report of a breach through the outer exhaust system— if it's Underground, kill them. Spider-Man or Tinkerer, detain them.

Prowler: Hey, kid.

Prowler: (laughs)

Miles Morales: What's so funny?

Prowler: Damn, Miles. For a skinny-ass kid— You hit HARD.

Miles Morales: Uncle Aaron? You're the Prowler?! My dad had a file on you.

Prowler: I know. And I bet you got a lot of questions right now, but we need to get out of here. You picked the wrong place to break into.

Miles Morales: I'm not leaving till I find what I came for.

Prowler: Listen, I did some work for Roxxon a while back. You don't want to mess with these guys. If we get caught in here...

Miles Morales: Then help me.

Prowler: Argh... stubborn as your father. Alright, but we do this MY way. I know a place I can access a security terminal, let you know what's coming. Remote mines. Use them if you get in a jam. Don't. Get. Caught.

Prowler (radio): See that vent with the laser shielding?

Miles Morales: How'd you do that?

Prowler (radio): I've worked with systems like this before. Now focus.

Miles Morales: Looks like a good time to try out those remote mines.

Roxxon Security: Initiating sweep.

Roxxon Security: What's going on with the cameras? More power outages?

Prowler: So what is it you're looking for?

Miles Morales: A phone. I tracked the signal—it's coming from somewhere deep underground.

Prowler (radio): Lowest point in the building is at the bottom of the reactor silo.

Miles Morales: Then that's where I'm headed.

Roxxon Security: Stay out of this, Spider-Man!

Prowler (radio): Should be a vent in that room. Leads to a lab, then the reactor.

Miles Morales: Like a Nuform reactor?

Prowler (radio): S'what these schematics say, yeah.

Simon Krieger: Hey! Where's the Nuform I asked for?

Roxxon Lab Tech: Uh... We're trying to make more, but Mason didn't leave behind any notes.

Simon Krieger: And...

Roxxon Lab Tech: Well, I had heard that one canister of Nuform survived the, uh, incident on the bridge. Now, if we had access to that, I...

Simon Krieger: Don't you think that if I had it I would give it to you?

Roxxon Lab Tech: Yes, Mr. Krieger. I just want to make it clear that without that canister it will be impossible to hit the deadline, I—

Simon Krieger: SHUT UP! I am doing everything in my considerable power to find that canister. However, right now, it would help me for you to go back to your lab... ...and do your damn job!

Miles Morales: Krieger's on a deadline...

Prowler (radio): So you gonna tell me whose phone you're looking for?

Miles Morales: The Tinkerer's. You gonna tell me why you're stalking me?

Prowler (radio): To protect you. You should feel honored. I came outta retirement to watch your back.

Miles Morales: Can't believe my uncle's the Prowler...

Prowler (radio): And I can't believe my nephew's risking his neck for a phone. Let's get on with it.

Roxxon Security: Think we're secure...

Prowler (radio): You're close to the reactor prototype. Need to take these guys out.

Roxxon Security: Huh? Heard something move. Standby, I heard something. Code red—man down!

Roxxon Security: Hey!

Miles Morales: They look so peaceful knocked out.

Prowler (radio): Nice work.

Miles Morales: Thanks.

Prowler (radio): Silo's just on the other side of that blast shield. Use that terminal to open it up.

Miles Morales: With a Nuform reactor in each one. Nuform made Rick sick... I need to shut these down.

Prowler (radio): Focus— get the phone and get outta there. Reactor's below. Powers this whole facility.

Miles Morales: Phone's all the way at the bottom. Looks like I need to figure out a way past that fan... ...and all those guys, too.

Prowler: Remember what I said—don't get caught.

Roxxon Security: We don't get paid enough for this.

Miles Morales: Shhhhhh.

Miles Morales: (I liked that.)

Roxxon Security: We need another perimeter check.

Miles Morales: Another one bites the dust.

Miles Morales: Gotta watch out for spiders, man.

Miles Morales: Hi Ganke.

Ganke (phone): Just calling to make sure you're not hurt or, y'know, dead.

Miles Morales: Ha. Thanks. Actually, I've got my Uncle here helping me,

Ganke (phone): The subway worker guy?

Miles Morales: Yeah... turns out he's also The Prowler. Long story.

Ganke (phone): Wait... THE Prowler? The thief who runs around in purple?

Miles Morales: Former thief. We're not partnering, it's just a one-time thing.

Ganke (phone): Your uncle's the Prowler.... that's a lot, man. Like a LOT a lot.

Miles Morales: I know. I gotta go, Ganke— I'll fill you in later.

Miles Morales: Here, take five. That'll leave a mark.

Prowler (radio): Be quick about this, nephew. I'm trying to shut down cameras and alarms to keep more of them from coming.

Miles Morales: Now for the wires.

Miles Morales: Nice. Battery needs a charge.

Miles Morales: Please don't explode... Nice. Okay— camera. Video. Here it is.

Rick Mason: OK. Core dump's a two-person job. You start the override here. I confirm it there. Step one in wiping Nuform from existence.

Phin Mason: Any regret, destroying the thing you made?

Phin Mason: Ready?

Rick Mason: Ready.

Phin Mason: Triggering override in 3.... 2...

Rick Mason: Phin?

Phin Mason: ...that wasn't me.

Simon Krieger: Industrial sabotage, Rick, really? No one's gonna care about a few sick people uptown... or a dead engineer. You're just the cost of doing business.

Phin Mason: No! No no!

Rick Mason: I can stop it, I can stop this!

Phin Mason: No! Ugh! Rick! Rick, no!

Rick Mason: Phin, don't look!

Phin Mason: (sobbing)

Simon Krieger: Someone else is in there—find out who!

Miles Morales: Rick was trying to save people—and Krieger killed him. I have to finish what they started. Uncle Aaron, can you unlock the reactor shielding from where you are?

Prowler (radio): Why? You got your phone now let's leave.

Miles Morales: That reactor killed my friend. It needs to be shut down. Permanently. I need your help, Unc. Please. Uh, Uncle Aaron...?!

Prowler (radio): OK. Stand back.

Miles Morales: Thanks, Unc.

Miles Morales: Just like the generator outside... only... huge...

Prowler (radio): What're you doing?! Miles!

Prowler (radio): You alright? You gotta get out of there, man. Can you move?

Miles Morales: Y... yeah...

Prowler (radio): Go down that hallway, now!

Miles Morales: I feel... real bad... right now... like it's... tearing me.

Miles Morales: Argh... the phone... I can't hold... the energy...

Prowler (radio): Miles. Talk to me, kid. You alright?

Miles Morales: Ugh. I feel like I just got dropped out of a plane, but at least the reactor's disabled.

Prowler (radio): You're almost out.

Miles Morales: Ugh. I really needed that phone. Now what am I gonna do?

Prowler (radio): C'mon kid, I can't get to you before Roxxon does.

Roxxon Security: Stand down! We're taking you into custody!

Prowler (radio): They've got orders to capture you.

Miles Morales: Why? What do they want?

Prowler (radio): Study you, interrogate you?

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Take 'em out!

Roxxon Security: Stay out of this, Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: We're authorized to use lethal force!

Prowler (radio): Ah, dammit!

Miles Morales: What? (You ready?)

Prowler (radio): Miles, I just got booted from the system. Gimme a minute—I'll get you out of there.

Miles Morales: Got it!

Roxxon Security: A few more and he's finished!

Prowler (radio): Let's go—before more of 'em show up.

Miles Morales: Whoa... that was super-cool cloaking tech, how does it—work?

Prowler: You take the left, I'll take the right. This is bad, Miles. Real bad.

Miles Morales: Don't worry, we can take these guys.

Prowler: Oh, I ain't worried about that. I'm worried about AFTER we get out of here. We're both on Krieger's short list now... Damn kid, you're making me look bad!

Miles Morales: Not hard to do!

Roxxon Security: Got him in my sights!

Prowler: Man, look at you go!

Roxxon Security: Put down your weapons!

Roxxon Security: Neutralize Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Get clear!

Miles Morales: What does that matter?

Prowler: You'll see. Just keep fighting! Okay, train's almost here— get ready! Through the hole— hurry!

Prowler: You need to lay low. Don't trust anybody, and don't take off that mask. Wait til Roxxon finds a better target.

Miles Morales: I can't lay low. I still need to find Phin...

Prowler: Your friend's the Tinkerer... no wonder you care so much about this.

Miles Morales: It's not just that! I'm—protecting New York is my job.

Prowler: Use Phin. Tell her you want to join the Underground.

Miles Morales: You just told me don't take off the mask.

Prowler: Don't tell her you're Spider-Man! Go to her as a friend.

Miles Morales: No, she's too smart for that.

Prowler: You'd be surprised. People get stupid when they care about someone. Like you're being stupid now.

Miles Morales: If I told her the truth...

Prowler: I told your dad the truth. Thought he'd have my back, I hoped he would be my brother and all. Instead he cut me out. If I'd kept my mouth shut, maybe I'd still have a family. You know what you have to do.

Miles Morales: Okay, I should... call Phin? No, no, I've got time to... check on the city. Yeah.

Ganke (phone): Miles! You know how many followers you've gained since the app went live? It's crazy. I've been running some numbers, and I know you said no to ads before, but maybe we could reconsider—

Miles Morales: No.

Ganke (phone): Right. No. Of course not. I'm just saying. So, did you find Phin's phone?

Miles Morales: Yeah, but uh... it melted after I absorbed energy from a Nuform reactor.

Ganke (phone): What?! How are you not dead?

Miles Morales: Felt like I was for a minute there. But then I released all the energy in a kind of a mini-explosion. Luckily I didn't bring down the whole lab.

Ganke (phone): Man, I gotta start taking notes on all your new powers. So what's the plan now?

Miles Morales: Uncle Aaron thinks I should tell Phin I want to join the Underground. Then I can take the Nuform so she doesn't use it for... whatever.

Ganke (phone): Whoa, like lie to her face?

Miles Morales: Yeeeeah. But I don't have any other leads.

Ganke (phone): You know what we need?

Miles Morales: Don't say a pros-and-cons list—

Ganke (phone): A pros-and-cons list, exactly.

Miles Morales: I gotta make a move, man.

Ganke (phone): I guess. Well, good luck. Call if you need me.

Miles Morales: Unc said I should tell Phin I want to join the Underground... but I don't know. Man, I can't think about this. I gotta go on patrol. Okay. I gotta do it. Call Phin, get her to let me in the Underground.

Phin Mason (phone): Hey, Miles. You okay?

Miles Morales: Okay. I gotta do it. Call Phin, get her to let me in the Underground.

Phin Mason (phone): Hey, Miles. You okay?

Miles Morales: Uh yeah, why would you say that?

Phin Mason (phone): Oh, uh, I saw the news about your Mom's rally.

Miles Morales: Hey Ganke, I'm at another Roxxon lab.

Ganke (phone): Cool, let's shut down another reactor!

Miles Morales: Yes! I'm inside. How about you?

Ganke (phone): Just got through their security. Their firewalls really are garbage.

Miles Morales: How do I get in?

Ganke (phone): Door's down the stairs. Same deal as before you power it and I'll open it.

Miles Morales: Powering up things is my specialty.

Miles Morales: Almost there.

Ganke: That did it. Overriding the lock... done.

Roxxon Security: Man, I thought that environmental impact report was gonna kill us.

Roxxon Security: We've got friends on city council.

Roxxon Security: Bet Roxxon's elite are nervous about the election coming up.

Roxxon Security: You wanna watch a bunch of heads explode, walk into a board meeting and mention the election.

Miles Morales: They look so peaceful knocked out.

Roxxon Security: No, what happened?

Roxxon Security: Bet Krieger didn't like that.

Roxxon Security: All quiet so far... What was that?

Roxxon Security: Wonder if those contractors are gonna show up today.

Roxxon Security: Hang on, I got something. Code blue! Spider-Man is here!

Miles Morales: Ha! Knew I could do it!

Roxxon Security: Code Blue, secure Spider-Man immediately!

Roxxon Security: Someone get eyes on him!

Miles Morales: Lights out for you.

Roxxon Security: Keep moving—stay ready to engage!

Roxxon Security: Taking aim!

Roxxon Security: Did you feel that? What is that thing?

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: You're authorized to use lethal farce—figure out what's going on!

Roxxon Security: Copy, captain.

Roxxon Security: Got a bead on him!

Ganke (phone): Oh man, so this lab is all about manufacturing research to "vet" Nuform and cover up how dangerous it is.

Miles Morales: So people keep thinking Nuform's safe.

Miles Morales: Man, how do people like Simon Krieger sleep at night?

Ganke (phone): Probably has one of those machines that plays sounds of the ocean. To drown out his conscience.

Roxxon Security: Neutralize Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Spider-Man's here! Don't let him walk out!

Miles Morales: This yours?

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Roxoxon Security: Stay out of this, Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Look out!

Roxxon Security: You'll pay for that!

Roxxon Security: Grenade out—get clear!

Roxxon Security: Weapons free!

Miles Morales: Okay. Have to keep the reactor from hurting anyone else and shut it down for good.

Ganke (phone): You've absorbed a lot of Nuform... this isn't gonna give your kids three eyes or something is it?

Miles Morales: Never... gets easier...

Ganke (phone): Lab's powered down. Upstairs is your way out.

Miles Morales: Might be something useful on that computer...

Simon Krieger (recording): Roxxon rockstars! How cool does it feel to be building the future every single day? Huh? Well, it'll feel a lot less cool if we get shut down because of an ill-timed leak. Information security is vital to our survival. So, from here on out, I'll need all employees to surrender phones, laptops, any other communication devices upon entry. Cool? Good. Remember, we're here for you.

Miles Morales: Oh whoa, glad I didn't land in the middle of that.

Ganke (phone): Y'know, I figured you'd have enemies as Spider-Man.

Ganke (phone): I didn't think Roxxon would be one of them.

Miles Morales: Yeah, they're way more corrupt than I thought...

Ganke (phone): We'll figure out a way to expose Roxxon. Without going the Underground route. Couldn't take on an evil conglomerate without you. Thanks, man. Talk soon.

Miles Morales: OK, I'm back. Whatchu got?

Phin Mason (phone): Oh, uh, I saw the news about your Mom's rally.

Miles Morales: We're fine. Do you have time to get coffee, maybe?

Phin Mason (phone): I can make time. There's a place on Edison, near Fisk Tower. They don't do foam art, but people don't take pictures of their lattes, so... worth it.

Miles Morales: Okay. Meet you there. (sigh) Okay, halfway into infiltrating a dangerous group of criminals. Cool cool.

Underground Undercover[]

Phin Mason: I was really glad you called. I needed a break.

Miles Morales: From what?

Phin Mason: Oh, just... stuff.

Miles Morales: So, uh, I went to your folks' old shop. Thought you might be there. Looked like there might have been some kind of fight just before I got there... I went inside, looked around. Found out about Rick. I'm so sorry.

Phin Mason: What else did you find out?

Miles Morales: I want to help you. But you gotta talk to me.

Phin Mason: I'm really sorry your mom got hurt at her rally. If that new Spider-Man hadn't shown up everyone would have been fine. Please don't try to talk me out of this.

Miles Morales: Okay.

Phin Mason: Good.

Phin Mason: So. That's my big secret. That's why I've been so busy. What's your excuse?

Miles Morales: Uh... Well, school... Volunteering at F.E.A.S.T.

Phin Mason: Pft. You're always busy with stuff like that. What's the real reason?

Miles Morales: The real reason is... I've been taking on a lot more responsibilities than I can handle lately. Made me push my friends away. But I'm here to fix that. Maybe I could join your... club? Crew? Team?

Phin Mason: Uh, I don't know...

Miles Morales: Y'know, Rick was—he was the best. I get why you're doing this. If you want my help, I'm all in. If not, no worries, your secret's safe with me.

Phin Mason: You're a good friend, Miles.

Phin Mason: Okay, let's go.

Miles Morales: Where? You know I'm not good with heights.

Phin Mason: You'll be fine, I'll be watching. You'll need to prove yourself to the Underground, I'll show you how when we get to Fisk Tower.

Miles Morales: You're set up in the Kingpin's office space?

Phin Mason: After he went to prison, the feds seized his property. They haven't gotten around to selling it, so we moved in.

Miles Morales: How'd you get involved in all this? The Underground, the Tinkerer...?

Phin Mason: "Tinkerer's" a nod to my role. I built everything: the masks, the weapons...

Miles Morales: Programmable matter.

Phin Mason: Right. The Underground tried to rob my granddad's shop and saw what I was working on. We made a deal.

Miles Morales: I know you're after Krieger, but what do they get out of it? Besides guns.

Phin Mason: Notoriety. They want to be so well-known, they can get away with anything.

Miles Morales: And you're good with that.

Phin Mason: I can't take on Roxxon alone. Come on. You need to jump from the crane to the balcony. Show them you're fearless.

Miles Morales: They're watching?

Phin Mason: Through the windows. You have to do this. Come on. You'll be fine.

Miles Morales: (to himself) Gotta do this without giving away I'm Spider-Man. C'mon Miles... make it look good.

Phin Mason: Gotcha.

Miles Morales: So am I officially in the club now?

Phin Mason: Sure. But watch your back. These guys take a while to warm up to new people.

Phin Mason: Here it is, where the plan comes together.

Miles Morales: So, your plan. How does Nuform fit in? Krieger's saying you stole a shipment.

Phin Mason: I stole one canister. I'm making some adjustments—don't worry about it. Take today to settle in.

Miles Morales: Right.

Underground: Good. You're back. Gavin needs you.

Phin Mason: Not now. We've got a new recruit.

Underground: Tch. Fine.

Underground: Wonder how strong these weapons really are.

Miles Morales: Oh man. You built all these?

Phin Mason: Yeah. Long as the new weapons keep coming, the Underground stay loyal.

Miles Morales: Is that a programmable matter sword?

Phin Mason: New enemies, new solutions.

Miles Morales: You mean Spider-Man, right?

Phin Mason: This week's most unwelcome surprise.

Underground: She's not gonna show him downstairs, right?

Phin Mason: How many times do I have to explain it to him. Miles, I need to deal with something. Hang here, OK?

Miles Morales: Oh yeah. Sure.

Underground: After Roxxon goes down, nobody will mess with us...

Miles Morales: (to himself) Now's my chance. Gotta figure out where she's keeping the Nuform. Might be able to find some clues in here. This stuff from... Martin Li's gang?

Underground: Yeah. Trophies. Hard to believe we were nobodies a year ago... Gotta establish dominance, if we're gonna replace Fisk and run New York. Finally getting the respect we deserve.

Miles Morales: These guys are well-trained if they took down the Demons. Wonder where they train...

Miles Morales: Hoo—Fisk would not like this...

Underground: Heh. Guy had secrets and trap doors all over this place. We cracked 'em all. We own Fisk Tower now.

Miles Morales: Secret rooms... good place to hide a deadly fuel source... Bridge attack's getting the Underground a lot of press...

Underground: Gotta grow that rep. Ask me, we should be focusin' on PR, not lugging around this Nuform crap.

Miles Morales: "Lugging it around..." maybe they brought it here... That's a lot of cash...

Underground: Even more downstairs. Old man's basically funding us, whether he likes it or not.

Underground: We're gonna change the game in this city...

Miles Morales: More downstairs... that sounds promising. Hmm. They might using Fisk's secret rooms, on the ground level...

Underground: Break time's over, kids. Group 2, head downstairs for training!

Miles Morales: Sounds like where I need to go.

Underground: Feel like I've seen this guy somewhere.

Miles Morales: Gotta update Ganke...

Miles—I'm inside...

Ganke—What's your plan?

Miles—¯\_(?)_/¯

Ganke—Dude. Time to suit up.

Underground: Can't wait to see that place burn...

Underground: Stupid bridge.

Phin Mason: Who are you texting?

Miles Morales: Uh, my mom. Yeah. She needs me at home.

Phin Mason: Right now? Really?

Miles Morales: Yeah. Her wrist is in a cast—I need to help with dinner.

Phin Mason: Did you tell her I'm...?

Phin Mason: Thanks. You can head out that way. See you back here soon?

Miles Morales: Definitely.

Miles Morales: Let's see if they keep their secrets downstairs. Ganke, I'm in the vents.

Ganke (phone): Nice! Did you find out where they're hiding the Nuform?

Miles Morales: Not yet, but I saw Phin head toward the basement, so I'm gonna try and follow her.

Ganke (phone): Hey, when you're crawling through vents, do you ever feel like you're in a movie and start humming suspenseful music to yourself? And then think about getting caught and put into a cell suspended over an alligator pit, and then making a bomb out of gum wrappers to escape?!

Miles Morales: Wait, what? No!

Ganke (phone): Cool. Just curious.

Miles Morales: Okay. I'm in the atrium. Need to shut down some Underground training exercises; then I'll look for a secret room.

Miles Morales: Another one bites the dust.

Underground: Guys, pay attention!

Miles Morales: Wish it was always this easy...

Underground: Webs—has to be the new Spider-Man!

Underground: It's that new Spider-Man! Get him!

Underground: Stay on him!

Underground: What are you waiting for—ground him!

Underground: We'll kill you!

Miles Morales: Take... that!

Underground: Get him on the ground!

Underground: Gonna wreck you, Spider-Man!

Underground: Ground him!

Underground: You're gonna regret that!

Underground: He got one of us!

Underground: Not gonna lose to you, Spider-Man!

Underground: Goin' down, Spider-Man!

Underground: You can't beat all of us, not alone!

Miles Morales: Okay. Still no sign of Phin.

Ganke (phone): She must have gone somewhere. I read this interview with Fisk where he said he loved 'art with a purpose.'

Miles Morales: What does that mean?

Ganke (phone): I don't know. But they also found a bunch of secret passages in his house hidden behind art. So...

Miles Morales: ...yeah, gotcha... I'm looking...

Miles Morales: Hey, I think I got something. Whoa—secret stairs! Goes deep.

Ganke (phone): Lots of mob bosses have secret exits like this. Wonder if Fisk planned to use it when the other Spider-Man came for him.

Miles Morales: He should've built a faster elevator. Maybe he would've gotten away.

Ganke (phone): Let's not start giving the supervillains ideas, cool?

Underground: You just hear all that noise in the atrium? Must be a hell of a training exercise today.

Underground: —I know you don't wanna talk to her about it, but three people got sick after the bridge. Three!

Underground: We know how dangerous Nuform is—

Underground: But if we're getting sick, too...

Underground: You can't hack it, you can get out. The doesn't have time for weaklings.

Miles Morales: You hearing this? Nuform's making the Underground sick, too. They're so... callous about it.

Phin Mason: You moved the Nuform? Safely?

Miles Morales: (sigh) Ganke. They moved the Nuform.

Underground: We're not sure if the canister's safe. It was hot, buzzing, like it's unstable.

Phin Mason: It's that new Spider-Man; his powers messed with the structure. Tell everyone not to touch it.

Miles Morales: Their hideouts. Nuform's gotta be in one of them.

Ganke: I need a clearer picture; then I can narrow it down.

Underground: We don't know enough about this stuff! What it is, where it came from—

Phin Mason: My brother created Nuform. Chief chemist. And Roxxon killed him.

Phin Mason: I won't stop until Roxxon's gone. Are you with me?

Underground: You know we are.

Phin Mason: Good.

Tinkerer: I need power. Generators, car batteries, whatever you can find. Bring them to the theater...

Underground: Spid—

Ganke (phone): Whoa! Is that a new move?!

Miles Morales: Man I don't even know what I did... but it worked!

Ganke (phone): OK—you do you, I'm gonna research the map you found, see what dots I can connect.

Miles Morales: Cool. I'ma keep shocking guys.

Underground: He's weak, keep on him!

Underground: You wont stop us!

Miles Morales: I can finally check "fight in a mob vault" off my bucket list.

Underground: You're no match for us!

Underground: Don't just hide! Fight me!

Ganke (phone): I cleaned up that photo you took of the map. Looks like the Underground are squatting in old Fisk construction sites.

Miles Morales: What about a theater? Phin mentioned one.

Ganke (phone): A theater, huh? That's...

Miles Morales: Don't say it, Ganke...

Ganke (phone): Dramatic.

Miles Morales: You said it.

Ganke: That'd be the Gem Theater.

Miles Morales: Sounds like that's where she hid the Nuform, so that's my next stop.

Ganke (phone): If you're headed to the theater, I'm all in. If you're gonna check out those Underground hideouts first, I know someone who can help.

Miles Morales: Cool. I'll add the hideouts to my to-do list and hit you up when I get to the theater.

Ganke (phone): I'll be here, trying to figure out why Speed Nonagon keeps crashing.

Miles Morales: Phin's not meeting the Underground at the Gem 'til later tonight. I probably have some time to check the app, or whatever else needs doin'.

(tbv when) Miles Morales: I should get back to lookin' for the Nuform. Time to hit the theater.

(tbv when) Miles Morales: Okay. I should see if Phin hid the Nuform in the Gem Theater.

Curtain Call[]

Miles Morales: You were right, Ganke. Underground are everywhere.

Ganke (phone): You might say they're... overground.

Miles Morales: Ooof. Keep working on that one.

Miles Morales: Barrier's electrified... OW! And not friendly.

Ganke: Your suit says that was THREE HUNDRED kilojoules—how is that just "ow"??

Miles Morales: Benefits of bioelectricity, I guess. Power can't be supplied all locally...

Ganke (phone): Any sign of the power source?

Miles Morales: Several. Bet these cables lead the way.

Ganke (phone): Electrified barrier is next-level. Maybe they got nervous after someone infiltrated Fisk Tower.

Miles Morales: Who'd do thaaaaat...

Underground: Underground's really hit the next level...

Underground: Standing around isn't what I signed up for.

Underground: I know for a fact he didn't train with that hammer.

Underground: And our caches keep going missing.

Miles Morales: Another one bites the dust.

Underground: Can't believe we had to abandon Fisk Tower.

Underground: Security totally fell apart.

Underground: No idea how Spider-Man got in.

Underground: Allan, what's your status?

Miles Morales: If you give me the Nuform, we can skip this part! Got 'em. Now I gotta drain that generator. Alright, drained it, feeling good. Now for the others.

Underground: You remember what it was like before Tinkerer showed up?

Underground: Disorganized, always fighting to survive.

Underground: We've gotta stop him!

Underground: What the heck?!

Underground: Gonna wreck you, Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Cool cool, chipping away.

Underground: Did you really blow up a club last night?

Underground: Crappy little bar near Braithwaite Bridge.

Underground: No one was inside.

Underground: Lot of Roxxon guys go there or something?

Underground: No, but Tinkerer wanted a diversion while you all hit that Roxxon truck.

Underground: Nice. Yeah, the truck was stuffed with cash. Fresh from the bank.

Underground: Spider-Man's around here somewhere—call out if you see him!

Underground: What's over there?

Underground: What is that?!

Underground: I'll find Spider-Man, just give me a minute,

Underground: What's over there?

Underground: Hello?

Underground: Come on, Spider-Man! Fight

Underground: Quit hiding, Spider-Man!

Underground: Hey, I need some help!

Underground: I'm gonna find you, Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Bet you didn't see that coming.

Underground: Hello?

Underground: Who's there?!

Underground: I'll find Spider-Man, just give me a minute.

Underground: Hey Jayna, how's it look?

Underground: Jayna? Crap, someone make sure she's alright.

Underground: Keep him grounded!

Underground: Got it, I'll check it out.

Miles Morales: You're done. No more Underground, soon-to-be no more generator. Should be one more...

Underground: You remember what it was like before Tinkerer showed up?

Underground: But now we got Spider-Man and Roxxon against us.

Underground: Don't know if we can survive it.

Underground: What was that?

Underground: Keep him on the ground!

Miles Morales: (Go ahead, try it.)

Ganke (phone): That did it. Barrier's fresh out of power.

Miles Morales: And primed for smashing.

Ganke (phone): That... was the way to the main auditorium. Now it's blocked.

Miles Morales: Oops. Maybe there's a staircase.

Ganke (phone): Hey man, I'm thinking, what if you told Phin you're Spider-Man?

Miles Morales: "Yo Phin, not only did I lie about joining your club, but I'm also the guy trying to stop you?"

Ganke (phone): Okay yeah, we can work on the delivery.

Miles Morales: Giant armored silo looks promising.

Ganke (phone): Really feeling like my gaming rig is underpowered right now.

Miles Morales: Yeah. Phin's going full supervillain lair, here. Are you seeing this giant armored container thing?

Ganke (phone): Totally not suspicious. Think the Nuform's in there?

Miles Morales: I got a hunch, yeah. Container's got cables running away from it. I wonder... Rick's invention. Krieger doesn't understand Nuform well enough to make more, but Phin does. She mapped out how its reactivity works.

Miles Morales: That's one. Need to power the others. So, why do you think I should tell Phin I'm Spider-Man? Don't you think she might react... badly?

Ganke (phone): Let's make a pros and cons list.

Miles Morales: (annoyed sound)

Ganke (phone): Pro: She's your best friend. Besides me.

Miles Morales: Con: She's the Tinkerer.

Ganke (phone): Pro: Talking to her is easier than sneaking around behind her back.

Miles Morales: Con: the other Spider-Man was super clear: don't tell anyone who you are.

Ganke (phone): You told me. Maybe if she knows it's you she's fighting, she'll rethink the whole Tinkerer thing.

Miles Morales: Maybe you're right. Nice! Clear line of sight to the generator. Hooked up; just need to power it. That sounds promising. Gotta check Phin's super-computer.

Miles Morales: Alright, what are you up to, Phin? Phin's pumping energy into the Nuform. Making it unstable, like my Venom did.

Ganke: Which exploded the bridge. So what, does she wanna blow up the theatre?

Miles Morales: Not the theatre. Roxxon Plaza.

Ganke (phone): Whoa, what?! That's— how could she—

Miles Morales: It's not open yet, so there'd be no casualties. But I can't let her do this. I'm taking the Nuform.

Miles Morales: Come on, come ON! Crap crap crap.

Underground: Spread out. He's here somewhere.

Miles Morales: I need to get the Nuform. After I deal with her glowstick army.

Ganke (phone): Just to put it out there: what if Phin's right, and this is the best way to beat Roxxon?

Miles Morales: Phin's not just talking about throwing a rock through a window; she wants to blow up a building on my block.

Underground: These new weapons are something else...

Miles Morales: If any part of her plan goes wrong, people will get hurt. I can't let her take that chance.

Ganke (phone): You're right. Let's get that Nuform outta here.

Underground: These plans just keep getting better.

Miles Morales: Wish it was always this easy...

Underground: Don't think I've forgot about when you broke my frickin' eye socket last year.

Underground: War to get to the top.

Underground: Yeah well, just 'cause Tinkerer is making us all play nice now doesn't mean it'll last.

Underground: Why?

Underground: You gonna become the next Tinkerer?

Underground: Maybe I will.

Underground: All I need is her tech. which you'll never get.

Underground: Screw you.

Underground: Can't believe one person made all this gear...

Miles Morales: Here, take five.

Underground: Somebody go check on her.

Underground: I'll take a look.

Underground: Have you seen our weapons? You can't win this!

Underground: He's not leaving here alive!

Miles Morales: You're done.

Underground: Guys, pay attention! Get after him!

Underground: Hey, come watch my back!

Underground Brute: Even Spider-Man's not ready for this.

Miles Morales: Whoa! Venom tears it apart!

Ganke (phone): Good! Keep doing that!

Underground: Lay this guy out, before he gets the Nuform!

Underground: Get him down here!

Underground: Get him out of the air!

Underground: Gonna peel that mask off you, kid!

Miles Morales: Okay. Now for the Nuform.

Miles Morales: OK, easy... Aw no.

Tinkerer: Can't let you take that.

Miles Morales: Hey hey hey—

Tinkerer: Seriously...?

Miles Morales: I just want to TALK! Ph— Tinkerer! Stop!

Tinkerer: So you can steal my Nuform? Not a chance in hell!

Miles Morales: Hey Ganke, ran into Phin!

Ganke (phone): What's happening?

Miles Morales: She grabbed the Nuform. I'm chasing her across Manhattan.

Ganke (phone): Oh crap, okay. How're you gonna stop her?

Miles Morales: Step one: Catch her. Step two: Uh... I'll get back to you. Ohhhh move move move...!

Tinkerer: Back off! This is between me and Roxxon!

Miles Morales: How 'bout... we use our words?

Tinkerer: How 'bout—you stop being so clingy.

Miles Morales: How is she not tired yet?

Miles Morales: It is not! Going! Well!

Ganke (phone): Where are you?

Miles Morales: I don't know! I'm dodging explosions! I need a new strategy. Gonna do what you said.

Ganke (phone): Tell her the truth?

Miles Morales: Yeah. Soon as I catch her. Tinkerer, I gotta tell you something! Slow down!

Tinkerer: Do you think I'm stupid?!

Miles Morales: You'll wanna hear this! I promise!

Tinkerer: Step OFF, Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Oh crap, not good, not good — Hope the ship's okay...

Tinkerer: I said—STEP OFF!

Miles Morales: Whoa! Why did she invent death wheels?!

Tinkerer: Give me one good reason not to end you.

Miles Morales: My mom would be very upset.

Phin Mason: ...Miles?

Miles Morales: Can we just—

Police Officer: You two on the roof—freeze!

Miles Morales: That... could have gone better. Think she cracked a rib. Or three.

Ganke (phone): Hey, how'd it go with Phin?

Miles Morales: Not great. You still at my place?

Ganke (phone): I'm actually at home. My parents get back next week, so I thought I'd clean. But I can come back.

Miles Morales: Nah, it's okay. I'll call you later. Now what? Hey, Uncle Aaron. I need, um, I need some advice.

Aaron Davis (phone): About what exactly?

Miles Morales: Just, everything. Are you free?

Aaron Davis (phone): I can wrap up what I'm doing. Call you in a few.

Miles Morales: Thanks, man. Talk to you soon. (to himself) I have no idea where Phin is, or the Nuform... Guess I should kill some time 'til Uncle Aaron's free.

Breaking Through the Noise[]

Aaron Davis (phone): Hey nephew. Meet me at the docks in Hell's Kitchen.

Miles Morales: I'll be there. (to himself) What am I gonna do about Phin? Try talking to her again? I could meet her somewhere... the science center, or Trinity Church... No, she knows I lied to her now; she won't wanna see me...

Prowler: ...I gotta call you back... Aight Miles. Spill it. Give me the whole situation.

Miles Morales: Phin... Underground. It's just... a lot, you know?

Prowler: You're seventeen, you're stressed, and you're a super hero. You gotta cut yourself some slack. You still making beats?

Miles Morales: Not much since I started... this.

Prowler: Work life balance, kid. Most important thing. Here—Little project your dad and I started back in the day. Our mixtape. Had rhymes ready and everything.

Miles Morales: (laughs) How come I never heard about this?

Prowler: 'Cause we never finished. We sampled street noise around the way, wanted the city to be our beat. But your dad had the masters, and after things went bad between us... But you can finish what we couldn't. Plus, it'll take your mind off work.

Miles Morales: Yeah... Yeah. OK. What do I do?

Prowler: Load that up; I'll walk you through it.

Aaron Davis (phone): I set up holograms to guide you. Scan the source.

Miles Morales: Holograms, huh? You stealing my moves? Okay. Don't think about Phin. Focus on sounds, clear my head.

Aaron Davis (phone): Scan the holograms, and it'll unlock files on that drive I gave you. Help you figure out which sound you're looking for. Now try and find the original sound, and grab a clean sample. There you go. Yeah, yeah... yeah, that's it! Rest of the sounds you need are spread across the city. I left a few messages for you, too, to help you get a feel for each location

Miles Morales: Oh dope!

Prowler: Not now. (to Miles) Heyyy—Get something you like?

Miles Morales: Yeah. Really unique dynamics.

Prowler: See? Old man still knows his stuff.

Miles Morales: (laughs) And you were right about clearing my head, too. I know what to do about Phin. I gotta see her, try to talk her out of all this.

Prowler: In person? Where?

Miles Morales: Trinity Church, tomorrow night. Why so interested?

Prowler: Cuz you got a target on your back the size of Jersey.

Miles Morales: You don't have to protect me.

Prowler: Someone should.

Prowler: It was complicated. We were too similar, and... too different. (Sigh) Finish the tape, get all the samples, and you'll hear the whole story. Promise.

Miles Morales: Alright. Thanks, Unc.

Prowler (radio): Trinity Church. Remember, Tinkerer's yours, but leave the boy alone.

Miles Morales: Man I needed that; I was beat. Okay, gonna call Phin.

Back to the Beginning Danika (phone): Hey, so, I've been checking on the hideouts you shut down. Those areas have seen big decreases in crime and jerks waving around glowy swords. The Tinkerer's still a problem, but the Underground's numbers took a serious hit.

Miles Morales: It was a team effort. And I hope your series helps just as much.

Danika (phone): Listen, if you ever need anything, not like a rescue, but a-a break from all the fighting, text me. I know a cafe that makes great matcha lattes.

Miles Morales: (laughs) I'm picturing sitting in a cafe in the mask, and it's weird.

Danika (phone): But cool, right? (laughs) Okay, bye.

(After completing some activities.)
Miles Morales: Alright. Time to call Phin. Hope she answers.

Phin Mason (phone): Hi... Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: Phin. Hey. We need to talk. In person.

Phin Mason (phone): So you can lie to me again?

Miles Morales: So I can make this right. Please. Meet me at Trinity Church. No more lies. I promise.

Phin Mason (phone): If you're screwing with me... Fine. I'll see you there.

Miles Morales: At least she's willing to meet. OK. Trinity Church. Let's go

Tinker Tailor Spider Spy[]

Tinkerer: That was a hell of a way to tell me you're Spider-Man. What if I'd killed you?

Miles Morales: You want me to feel bad because you almost killed me?

Phin Mason: I want you to stop lying to me! I let you in the Underground because I thought you understood.

Miles Morales: I do understand. What Krieger did to Rick... Roxxon needs to pay. Not like this.

Phin Mason: This is the only way I can beat him. I need you to look the other way. Please.

Miles Morales: I can't. I made a promise.

Phin Mason: So did I. Why'd you pick here?

Miles Morales: My dad brought us. To that concert. Seven choirs from seven countries. Remember? Ghana was my favorite.

Phin Mason: Ghana wasn't there. You're thinking of Guinea.

Miles Morales: I know, I'm pretty sure it was Ghana.

Phin Mason: Guinea, Belize, Poland, Cuba...

Miles Morales: ...South Korea, Thailand, Venezuela. You're right.

Phin Mason: I usually am.

Miles Morales: Usually.

Miles Morales: What— ?

Simon Krieger: Gotta say, I'm disappointed, bud.

Miles Morales: Krieger?!

Simon Krieger: Yeah... See, Ms. Mason... I kinda knew she was gonna be a handful. But you...? I guess I was hoping that you and me would see eye to eye.

Miles Morales: Where are we?

Simon Krieger: You're behind the curtain, bud! This is our most secure facility. In here: the sausage gets made.

Phin Mason: You're a real prick, you know that?

Simon Krieger: Y'know when her brother and I were developing Nuform.

Phin Mason: All you did was put your name on the patent. He said the only thing you knew how to do was sell other people's ideas.

Simon Krieger: Yeah, well at least I still got a pulse, babe.

Simon Krieger: But let's not dwell. Right?

Simon Krieger: The first thing we're gonna do, is I'm gonna—mmm...

Simon Krieger: WOW! (laughing). That is awesome! Are those involuntary defenses? Oh man, that's hot. You see, I'm gonna get that mask off you... And I'm gonna find out what makes you tick. Because you just... smell like next level bio-engineering and you know what that smells like to me kid? That smells like money. Okay! I'm gonna hit the gym. Leg day. Can't skip it. Get her to tell us where my Nuform is, huh? Can't really open the plaza without it. Oh, and, ah—use him.

Roxxon Security: Time to finish what we started on the bridge.

Roxxon Security: No cameras now.

Phin Mason: No!

Phin Mason: Whoa. Are you OK? They were gonna kill you. Holy shit.

Miles Morales: Tougher than I look.

Phin Mason: Let's find a way out of here.

Miles Morales: Roxxon kept Rhino instead of giving him to the police. That's crazy.

Phin Mason: Nothing... about Roxxon surprises me anymore.

Miles Morales: You okay?

Phin Mason: I will be, once we're out. I'm shutting off security cams. Can you check that computer? What did you find?

Miles Morales: There's the exit, through this office. We have to lift the base lockdown first, from the control room.

Phin Mason: First we need to escape the security wing. I'll go down to the floor, see what we're dealing with. Door's locked.

Miles Morales: Venom worked in the cell; should work on the door.

Miles Morales: He-llo...

Phin Mason (phone): It's unlocked. I'm headed to the floor.

Miles Morales: Right above you.

Roxxon Security: Shift's almost up.

Roxxon Security: Don't know why Spider-Man's after us, of all people.

Phin Mason: That security door is our way out, but I'll have to hack a few terminals to disable the alarm.

Miles Morales: I'll handle the security goons.

Roxxon Security: Security cameras are down in the south wing.

Roxxon Security: Rhino probably turned them off. Heard he wanted to question the prisoners.

Roxxon Security: Bet that other guy could get even Spider-Man to squeal.

Miles Morales: Lights out for you.

Phin Mason (phone): There's two more ahead.

Roxxon Security: How'd we even find those two? Did Rhino track them?

Roxxon Security: No. He's just a fool-point and shoot. An outside agent gave us their location.

Roxxon Security: All units, I've got a man down.

Miles Morales: Huh. Easier than I thought.

Roxxon Security: Word of advice: watch what you say around Krieger. He seems relaxed, but he's got a short fuse.

Roxxon Security: I noticed.

Roxxon Security: Seen him go through three different assistants in less than a month.

Roxxon Security: We've got an intruder, let's flush him out!

Miles Morales: Wish it was always this easy...

Roxxon Security: Don't really see the point of holding Spider-Man and Tinkerer. We should just get rid of them.

Roxxon Security: Krieger's always working an angle. He thinks they're more valuable to the company alive.

Roxxon Security: Man down—we've got an intruder!

Roxxon Security: Keep moving—stay ready to engage!

Miles Morales: Bet you didn't see that coming.

Roxxon Security: Yeah I'm on rotation coming up.

Roxxon Security: Seems like the whole future of the company's staked on that place.

Roxxon Security: Keep searching—he's here somewhere!

Miles Morales: Gotta watch out for spiders, man.

Miles Morales: Way's clear.

Phin Mason: Running a cipher. Okay, ready for another computer.

Miles Morales: Phin Mason: we gotta talk. Blowing up the Plaza is a bad idea.

Phin Mason (phone): So is poisoning the city with an unsafe fuel source.

Miles Morales: Yeah, but there has to be a better way to deal with Roxxon.

Phin Mason (phone): Sometimes strategies are imperfect. OK—I'm shorting the maglock; I need you to trigger the override back there.

Miles Morales: On it. Looks like some kind of record archive. Hey—Roxxon's stealing your stuff.

Phin Mason: From what I hear, you are too. Thanks for that, by the way.

Miles Morales: Notes about Roxxon "independent contractors"...

Simon Krieger (recording): We need an outside partner to track Tinkerer and Spider-Man for us. Tombstone's off the grid... Black Cat's gone straight... ish. What about the guy in purple, what did he go by? What was his name? Oh oh yeah—yeah. Yeah, he'll do.

Miles Morales: "Guy in purple?" That can't be... no. No way. More info on Rhino....

Simon Krieger (recording): I know he SAYS he wants out of that suit, but let's face it: the metal onsie is the only reason anyone gives a damn about him. Just upgrade his armor; if we help him smash Kid Spider, he'll forget all about wanting out.

Miles Morales: There's nobody this guy won't manipulate... Triggering the override! There's a voice memo on here—

Roxxon Security (recording): Sir, the police are asking about Rhino. What do we tell them?

Simon Krieger (recording): Our man at the Raft is setting up a special "work release program." Tell the police Rhino's doing... a little community service.

Miles Morales: Can't believe they got away with this...

Phin Mason (phone): Door's unlocked, but I need you to force it open.

Miles Morales: Can do. Another voice memo from Krieger.

Simon Krieger (recording): I liked Rick Mason, I did, but... Bleeding hearts don't survive this business. Maybe we should set up a plaque in his memory, or, uh... Oh, oh! Uh, name a bench after him. Ha! Yeah, I bet he'd love that.

Miles Morales: Simon Krieger: bastion of compassion.

Simon Krieger: I can't let them go until I have my Nuform.

Prowler: He shouldn't even be here. Your muscle was only supposed to grab the girl.

Rhino: (grunts)

Simon Krieger: Yeah, he didn't like that. Here's the deal, bud. Spider-Man's the best leverage I've got against Ms. Mason. I mean, you caught them together. Well, I mean, you caught them, but it was thanks to your intel, so. Clearly, there's something going on there.

Prowler: You agreed to leave the kid alone.

Miles Morales: Uncle Aaron?

Simon Krieger: Aw, "the kid." I love how you say that. It's just... so paternal.

Prowler: Let Spider-Man go, and I'll get your Nuform, feed you Underground intel, whatever you want.

Simon Krieger: See? Leverage. Works every time.

Phin Mason: Mi—Spider-Man!

Prowler: Here's leverage for you: I've seen things. Nuform making people sick, what you did to Rick Mason. If I went public—

Simon Krieger: Yeah, but you won't. Here's the deal: you're a wanted thief. Plus all the jobs we've done together? Bud, you'd be in the cell right next to mine. And we both know you're a little too self serving for that. So, we're gonna head in and check on Ms. Mason and Spider-Man, uh, but it's kind of an invite-only party. Yeah, bye.

Miles Morales: Uncle Aaron... no...

Phin Mason: Wait... do you know that guy? Is that the reason we got captured?

Miles Morales: No, it's... I knew he worked with Roxxon, but I didn't think he'd... he'd sell me out.

Phin Mason: I can't believe this... you led me into a trap. Why do I keep listening to you...

Miles Morales: Phin no. There has to be an explanation. I didn't know this would happen.

Phin Mason: Just... save it. Let's keep moving. (via phone) They initiated a lockdown. That's the control room we have to get into.

Miles Morales: So we'll need past those security shutters.

Phin Mason (phone): Got a maintenance panel here, but it needs power.

Miles Morales: Lemme see what I can do. There! You've got power.

Phin Mason (phone): Accessing... (Sigh) I can't hotwire the shutters, but I can move machinery. Like that crane.

Miles Morales: Maybe we can use that. I'll look around.

Phin Mason (phone): They build engines for their APCs in here...

Miles Morales: Hey—crane's over this engine thing now.

Phin Mason (phone): Engine thing... I've got an idea. Can you move the crane back to the assembly line?

Miles Morales: Yeah... think I know where you're headed...

Phin Mason (phone): OK, this laser should activate the engine... Crap. Laser shorted out.

Miles Morales: Think I can re-route power... You're good; use the laser!

Phin Mason (phone): One laser coming up.

Miles Morales: Perfect. If lovercharge the engine, it'll be explosive.

Phin Mason (phone): And explosive is just what we need to destroy those shutters.

Miles Morales: Get down!

Phin Mason (phone): Let's go! Almost out.

Phin Mason: That's our way out. Give me a few minutes to get it open.

Miles Morales: Looks like they guessed our plan.

Phin Mason: Not hard. There's only one exit.

Miles Morales: Alright, I'll take care of those guards. You get that door open.

Phin Mason: One thing... Did you ever think about calling me? To tell me you were Spider-Man? You know, after my parents died, Rick basically had to become my dad. I thought I'd miss having a brother, but I had you.

Miles Morales: Phin, I—

Roxxon Security: Get this door open!

Miles Morales: That won't hold forever.

Phin Mason: Go. I'll be fine, just go!

Phin Mason (phone): Those guys with the lights on their helmets can spot heat signatures. They'll see you if you try to go invisible.

Miles Morales: Wonder how much of their RED department is dedicated to fighting us.

Phin Mason (phone): Probably millions of dollars in untaxed money. You clear the floor, I'll work on overriding security so we can get out. I can still access machinery if you need me to move anything.

Roxxon Security: Keep your eyes open.

Miles Morales: Naptime, bro. You good in there?

Phin Mason (phone): Yeah, those webs are holding the door. Whole base is on alert though, so be careful.

Roxxon Security: There's only one way out of the base; they've gotta come through here.

Miles Morales: They look so peaceful knocked out.

Roxxon Security: It's Spider-Man! Open fire!

Phin Mason (phone): They know you're here. They're calling reinforcements.

Miles Morales: Guess I'm doing this the loud way.

Roxxon Security: He's airborne!

Roxxon Security: Taking you down, Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Listen I know you don't trust me.

Phin Mason (phone): You're right. I don't.

Miles Morales: What can I do to change that?

Phin Mason (phone): Stop going behind my back. And stop acting like I haven't thought this through. No one'll get hurt when I take down the Plaza. No one except Roxxon. You know they deserve it.

Miles Morales: Just... promise to talk it through with me, OK? I promise to listen. Really listen.

Phin Mason (phone): I've made up my mind, Miles. You need to start accepting that.

Miles Morales: Then... I'm gonna have to stop you. You need to start accepting that.

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: You guys take returns?

Roxxon Security: Quit moving!

Roxxon Security: You have orders-capture Spider-Man!

Phin Mason (phone): I'm through. Meet me in the show room on the far side of the assembly line.

Miles Morales: See you there.

Phin Mason (phone): You coming?

Miles Morales: Looks like they locked the doors—I'll find another way.

Phin Mason: Do you have proof? Cause I don't think the word of two vigilantes is gonna convince people.

Miles Morales: There's gotta be a way...

Miles Morales: Think that's the exit. Hey—Lost and found.

Phin Mason: Thanks. I know this place... this is Krieger's lab.

Miles Morales: Krieger has a lab?

Phin Mason: Mostly for show but yeah. Rick showed me a photo once...

Miles Morales: Krieger's lab... wait...

Miles Morales: All the current Nuform project data's on here... toxicity reports, failed safety reviews... and Krieger's name's on everything. This would destroy Roxxon.

Miles Morales: Crap.

Rhino: You like my new color? Immune to your little... zappy pops.

Miles Morales: Zappy... pops? Come on, man.

Rhino: (screams) Now we finish this.

Tinkerer: You handle Rhino; I'll take the guards!

Miles Morales: Let's go for a ride—

Roxxon Security: Engaging hostile!

Miles Morales: We need to break his armor!

Rhino: You are... worthy foe. I will give you good death.

Miles Morales: A "good death"?

Tinkerer: I think that's his sick version of a compliment.

Miles Morales: Gotta damage his armor... You keep getting up, and ml keep knocking you down.

Rhino: Oh but I only need to knock you down once.

Roxxon Security: Stop resisting!

Roxxon Security: Take 'em out!

Roxxon Security: Keep up the pressure!

Rhino: You cannot survive this!

Tinkerer: Keep him down! Oh my God. He's throwing a tank!

Miles Morales: Maybe if I charge the engines—Guess Roxxon didn't plan for exploding engine blocks when they designed your new armor.

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Tinkerer: You need to put him DOWN—permanently.

Miles Morales: I'm not gonna kill the guy—that's not how we work.

Rhino: And that is why you will lose.

Miles Morales: That fancy armor's lookin' a little shabby, Rhino!

Roxxon Security: Stay out of this, Spider-Man!

Rnino: GET OFF OF ME!

Miles Morales: Making progress—his armor's wearing down.

Rhino: These are only... surface wounds.

Tinkerer: Then why do you sound so tired? His armor's falling apart! His Roxxon armor's disabled—you're up!

Miles Morales: On it. Ready for some zappy-pops, big guy?

Rhino: I do not... like you...

Tinkerer: Don't stop—we're gonna break him!

Rhino: This woman is...

Miles Morales: Wait. Just... make sure he doesn't do anything. I'll be right back.

Miles Morales: Krieger's data will shut Roxxon down. The right way.

Rhino: You know, Krieger told me how your brother died. Very amusing.

Phin Mason: Shut up.

Miles Morales: Krieger updated the reactor... tried to supercharge it to make his deadline... If Phin goes through with her plan... Oh my god. Harlem.

Rhino: You watched him die. Helpless. (laughs) (pained coughing)

Miles Morales: No no no—

Phin Mason: Go to hell.

Miles Morales: Phin what the hell were you—

Phin Mason: You screwed up the BRIDGE. Destroyed my LAB. Got me KIDNAPPED.

Miles Morales: Phin... Phin... the reactor...

Phin Mason: Come near me again, I'll kill you.

Miles Morales: But... we're family...

Phin Mason: My family's dead.

Miles Morales: Ganke... I need help...

Ganke: I'm gonna go grab a washcloth, and some antibiotics....

Miles Morales: Alright.

Rio: Miles? Where have you—

Rio: (What happened?) What are you wearing...

Miles Morales: I have to tell you something.

Rio: Phin's attacking the plaza...

Miles Morales: Yeah...

Rio: So that was you chasing her through the city... as Spider-Man. You could've died. (I can't believe it.) Why didn't you tell me about any of this? All those talks we had... how to keep yourself safe... but this...

Miles Morales: I didn't want you to worry. And the other Spider-Man's gone; I just keep making things worse and worse. And now I screwed up things with you.

Rio: Miles. There is nothing you could ever do or ever be that would make me stop loving you. (Nothing.) You give me strength, Miles. That's all a hero really is. Someone who's brave for the people they love.

Miles Morales: Just a guy who doesn't give up...

Ganke: Gloria's handling F.E.A.S.T., and Teo's gonna help us go door to door.

Rio: Perfect. Let's get this evacuation started. I'll meet you outside?

Rio: You remind me more of your father every day.

Rio: You stay safe.

Miles Morales: I will.

Ganke: Hey. I'm telling people in Harlem they need to evacuate, before me and your mom go door to door.

Miles Morales: OK, cool.

Miles Morales: I wanted to say: thanks for always having my back, man. Hey — I could use your help before you go.

Ganke: You've got it.

Miles Morales: I wanna cross-reference Underground activity with buildings that could store Nuform. Maybe you could hack Oscorp surveillance towers or...

Ganke: I'm in. It'll take a while to narrow down...

Miles Morales: That's alright. Thanks, man. Gonna stretch my legs a little... then head out...

Miles Morales: Got some time while Ganke tracks down Phin... I should check the app, see if people need help.

Ganke (phone): Hey, I found Phin's setup: the Oscorp Science Center. It's closed for renovations.

Miles Morales: Oh my g—our energy converter, that won the middle school science fair. That's how she's gonna finish making the Nuform unstable enough to blow up Roxxon Plaza.

Ganke (phone): Whoa. It's like she picked it to get back at you.

Miles Morales: Maybe she did. Thanks, Ganke.

Ganke (phone): It's my job. Speaking of, time to help your mom evacuate Harlem. Later.

Miles Morales: Okay. Oscorp Science Center. Phin needs to know what'll happen if she goes through with her plan. And if she won't listen... I'll take the Nuform. Destroy it if I have to.

Thicker Than Blood[]

Prowler: Sorry about this, nephew.

Prowler: Can't let you go back out there. Let Krieger and the Tinkerer kill each other. Go back to being Spider-Man when the heat dies down.

Miles Morales: And what, just hide down here? I don't get to pick and choose when I'm Spider-Man. I gotta stop Phin.

Prowler: No, you gotta survive. I've been trying to teach you that, but you don't listen.

Miles Morales: You want me to survive so bad, why sell me out to Krieger?

Prowler: Wasn't a sellout.

Miles Morales: Yeah...

Prowler: I'm serious. You were never supposed to get caught. Krieger broke our deal.

Miles Morales: You wanted back in the family, and that's the best you could do?

Prowler: I saved your life.

Miles Morales: You threw me in a cell!

Prowler: To protect you!

Miles Morales: Like this is protecting me?!

Prowler: Dammit Miles, I'm not gonna lose you too!

Miles Morales: And I'm not gonna let people die just to save my skin. You underestimated me.

Prowler: Dammit, no! Don't fight me on this!

Miles Morales: I don't want to! But I can't stay down here.

Prowler: Then I'll do what I have to. Keep you safe!

Miles Morales: His cloaking tech. Need to short it. This isn't about me at all. It's about you. You're afraid.

Prowler: Don't you turn this on me.

Miles Morales: When're you gonna understand that I have to fight for this city?

Prowler: When are you gonna understand you can't do that if you're dead?

Miles Morales: If my dad could see us now...

Prowler: He'd understand that I gotta protect you. You don't realize: I'm the only one trying to save you.

Miles Morales: And I'm trying to save everyone else.

Prowler: You think you can beat the Tinkerer, Roxxon. You can't.

Miles Morales: I have to try.

Prowler: Didn't your mentor teach you about picking your battles?

Miles Morales: He taught me to put other people ahead of myself. What the?!—

Prowler: You got tricks. Roxxon countered 'em. Stay back, nephew!

Miles Morales: He can't counter every trick.

Prowler: You don't get how the real world works. Dog-eat-dog.

Miles Morales: Not if we make it better.

Prowler: You throw yourself at enemies you can't beat! Know who else did that?

Miles Morales: Don't say his name.

Prowler: You want your mom to bury you, too? I won't let you.

Miles Morales: Holograms? More tech from your buddies at Roxxon?

Prowler: I adapt. You can't keep up! You're naive, nephew. Still the kid lookin' up to Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: No, I'm the kid who knows people're looking up to me. You were never gonna accept me as Spider-Man. The risk I gotta take.

Prowler: I know I messed up. I let you down. But we're family.

Miles Morales: Family? That didn't stop you from lying to me, manipulating me, fighting me. Being "family" isn't enough anymore.

Prowler: Doesn't have to be like this. You, me, hating each other. That's how it happened between me and your dad. I don't want to repeat that.

Miles Morales: I don't either. But I can't be the person you wanna turn me into. I can't turn my back when people need me.

Miles Morales: I have to be better than that.

Miles Morales: Ganke... my uncle just kidnapped me. Locked me up...

Ganke (phone): What?! Dude, are you okay?

Miles Morales: I had to fight him. Then I said... I told him we're done. For good.

Ganke (phone): I'm sorry. That's... that can't have been easy.

Miles Morales: It's what I had to do. I'm headed to the science center; call me if things get bad in Harlem.

Ganke: I will. Good luck, Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: C'mon, Phin...

Phin Mason (recording): It's Phin. Leave a message, and I'll listen to it eventually.

Miles Morales: It's Miles. I know I'm the last person you wanna talk to right now, but you need to listen. Krieger updated the specs on the reactor. If you plug unstable Nuform into it—

Voicemail: The length of your message has exceeded this user's limit. Please hang up and—.

Miles Morales: I'll call her later.

Like Real Scientists[]

Miles Morales: Museum closed for renovation, and the Underground moves right in. Phin's gotta be inside. Alright, let's see what kind of security they've got.

Miles Morales: Same kind of barrier they had at Gem Theater. Need to drain the generators... ...in those shacks. Which are locked. And powered down. Need a new power source. Yeah, this'll work.Oh yeah, this'll work. Need to wire it to the shacks. Yeah, that doesn't line up. Got it! Sticky and conductive. That's one. Feelin' good. This is gonna work. This is working. Couple more. Yes! I saw one more. Can't believe how well this is working...

Miles Morales: Sweet. Time to break the Underground's toys.

Miles Morales: Phin? You here? Phin! C'mon, we need to finish this. You and me.

Miles Morales: She's gotta be with our project. Down that hall.

Phin Mason: C'mon, molasses. I wanna see our project. While we're still young!

Miles Morales: (laughs) I'm coming, I'm coming. Hey, where'd they put us?

Phin Mason: I've got the museum map on my phone. Our project's in a special exhibit, on the top floor. Can't wait to see our names on the little sign, like real scientists.

Miles Morales: Today the Oscorp Science Center, tomorrow every major museum in the world. Special exhibit's upstairs. There's the elevator.

Phin Mason: We've got time to look around first.

Curator: Do you have tickets for the special exhibit?

Miles Morales: Oh, um. Our project is on display: didn't think we needed tickets.

Curator: You do, and we're sold out. Can't let you go upstairs.

Phin Mason: Thanks anyway. Sooo we need another way in.

Miles Morales: She said there's no more tickets.

Phin Mason: Right, but see that door? The hallway behind it wraps around to the elevator.

Miles Morales: We can't just break in!

Phin Mason: We have to! They're taking down the exhibit tomorrow, and then we'll never see it!

Miles Morales: Locked.

Phin Mason: I recognize that kind of lock; if you shine a light at it, it'll open.

Miles Morales: The flashlights on our phones would work, but they won't reach.

Phin Mason: They will if we find a way to slide something reflective under the door.

Miles Morales: Something reflective. It'd be nice to find something mutable.

Phin Mason: Mutable, you mean changes shape? Look at you breaking out the fancy vocab.

Miles Morales: Pffft, shut up.

Miles Morales: Oh look! Solar mirrors and sticky on the back.

Phin Mason: Perfect for tricking a light-sensitive lock.

Miles Morales: Now we need something we can slide under the door.

Miles Morales: Shape-memory alloy! I can change the shape on the museum app. This stuff is crazy. Think it's a metamaterial? That's it! Take it. Don't let anyone see...

Phin Mason: Got it, let's go!

Dr.Octavius: Oh!

Miles Morales: Whoa man, sorry.

Peter Parker: All good.

Phin Mason: I'll attach the sticker. Let's get that door open!

Peter Parker: Look how the external tools interface directly with the command module's computer. We could recreate the idea, but with a neural interface.

Dr. Octavius: It would overload our central power.

Peter Parker: Not if we integrated it over the entire mesh, from multiple entry points.

Dr. Octavius: Hmm. Do you think you can handle it?

Peter Parker: With enough time and a lot of coffee? Absolutely.

Dr. Octavius: (laughs) I'll supply the coffee. Well done, Peter. I couldn't do this without you. We should probably head back to the lab. We've overstayed our lunch break.

Peter Parker: I've gotta take the afternoon off. It's an emergency.

Dr. Octavius: Again? Peter, is something bigger going on, perhaps at home? You know you can talk to me about it.

Peter Parker: I-I'm fine but... I'm sorry to run out on you again.

Dr. Octavius: Not at all. Work will be waiting when you get back.

Peter Parker: Thanks, Doc.

Dr. Octavius: (to himself) Integration over the mesh... that boy's mind never stops.

Miles Morales: This is either genius, or really really stupid.

Phin Mason: If we open our own research lab someday, that's what I'm naming it. I've got the light. Tell me when the sticker's pointed at the sensor, and I'll turn it on.

Miles Morales: No one's looking at us yet... gotta hurry.

Phin Mason: That worked! We did it! C'mon! Our project awaits. That was awesome. I'm gonna miss doing stuff like this with you.

Miles Morales: What're you talking about?

Phin Mason: Uh, hello, you'll be at Brooklyn Visions next week. I won't.

Miles Morales: I'm not gonna vanish off the planet. We'll still hang out.

Phin Mason: You'll be busy.

Miles Morales: Not that busy. I'm gonna make time for us. Seriously.

Phin Mason: Okay. This is getting mushy—c'mon, let's head upstairs.

Miles Morales: Hey Dad—

Dad: Hey, Miles.

Phin Mason: Hiii, Mr. Davis!

Miles Morales: Phin says hi.

Dad: You kids having fun? Make sure to get a picture of your project!

Miles Morales: Dad, it's not a big deal.

Phin Mason: It's totally a big deal!

Miles Morales: Okay, okay, we'll get a picture. Love you Dad, bye.

Phin Mason: This is it! Our project's in the back.

Miles Morales: Think they've got our converter all hooked up?

Phin Mason: Otherwise what's the point? They'll need to feed biomass in, though. Maybe hook it up to a trashcan. Our project!

Rick Mason: Would you look at that? Genuine award-winning scientists.

Miles Morales: No one told us we were in the special exhibit. Ticket-only.

Phin Mason: How'd you get in?

Rick Mason: Uh, I bought a ticket. How'd you get in?

Phin Mason: Not important.

Rick Mason: (laughing) Hey, huddle up. We need a picture.

Miles Morales: You gotta be in it too! You helped us get it working.

Rick Mason: OK, OK, fine fine fine. Scoot over... alright!

Miles Morales: Say "alleeeeeeeles!"

Phin Mason: I am not saying that.

Miles Morales: Phin, you need to know—

Tinkerer: I'm done listening to you.

Miles Morales: I have to tell her what'll happen to the reactor!

Underground: Don't let him follow the Tinkerer!

Underground Brute: You can't stay up there forever!

Underground: Give up, you can't beat us!

Underground: Taking you down, Spider-Man!

Underground: You can't beat all of us, not alone!

Miles Morales: Oh, c'mon! This is my favorite museum!

Underground: Get him outta the air!

Ganke (phone): The Underground just showed up, and I saw a Roxxon tank. All the roads out of Harlem are blocked.

Miles Morales: Where are you?

Ganke: Near your apartment, trying to find shelter.

Miles Morales: Get to Teo's bodega. I'll be there soon.

Ganke (phone): We'll keep everyone safe as long as we can.

Underground: Last warning: go home!

Miles Morales: Gotta take care of them before I head back to Harlem.

Underground: Stand still!

Underground: End of the line!

Miles Morales: Actually, you take this.

Underground: He's cutting through us!

Underground: We'll kill you!

Miles Morales: Hoooly...

Underground Brute: You're not stronger than us!

Underground: You wont stop us!

Underground: Can't wait to rip that mask off!

Underground: Get out of our way!

Miles Morales: I need to get to Harlem, now, before Phin destroys the reactor. Ganke, talk to me. How's the evacuation going?

Ganke (phone): Bad. Roxxon and Underground are all over. It's like a warzone.

Miles Morales: Are you safe? My mom?

Miles Morales: You're breaking up. Where are you? Ganke? If you can hear me, I'm on my way. Hang fight, man. Please! I've never seen a storm this bad...

The Battle For Harlem[]

Miles Morales: Ganke? Can you hear me? Ganke?! Hang on, guys. I'm coming.

Miles Morales: Hope Hailey's safe...

Underground: Open wide, Web-Head!

Roxxon Security: Cease and desist!

Underground: We've got to hold the park—stop them here!

Roxxon Security: You'll pay for that!

Miles Morales: Pana Fuerte and the barbershop look OK, but I need to push the fighting away from here.

Miles Morales: Camila—are you with Caleb? Are you OK?

Camila (phone): (Yes.) We're with Gloria. But kid, this is bad. It's the Crisis all over again.

Miles Morales: It won't get that far. I won't let it. Keep your heads down til I secure the streets.

Underground: Spider-Man's hurt! Keep going!

Underground: Keep him on the ground!

Underground: Don't let him stay airborne!

Roxxon Security: Initiating sweep.

Underground: Don't let him stay in the air!

Roxxon Security: Intruder alert—it's Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Need backup on 123rd and Ortiz; we're losing men!

Roxxon Security: You kids are outclassed.

Underground: This is gonna hurt, Spider-Man!

Underground: Keep him outta the air!

Roxxon Security: Neutralize the Underground, but take Spider-Man alive if possible.

Miles Morales: More guys on the rooftops... they're fighting everywhere...

Underground: I've got a lock on Spider-Man!

Underground: He's taking us out!

Underground: We need help by F.E.A.S.T. Someone, get over here!

Roxxon Security: Keep him on the ground!

Miles Morales: Gloria! You safe? Is F.E.A.S.T. clear?

Gloria (phone): Yeah—everyone made it out. Sounds like you didn't though; where are you, Miles?

Miles Morales: Near 125th. Looking for my mom.

Underground: Get him on the ground!

Gloria (phone): Word is new Spider-Man's on the case. He'll protect them, you protect yourself, OK? Get out of there.

Miles Morales: OK. Yeah. I'll leave it to him. Stay safe, Gloria.

Gloria (phone): You too, kid.

Roxxon Security: Locked and loaded!

Roxxon Security: You shouldn'tve come here!

Underground: How many spider people are there?!

Miles Morales: That's our apartment building... please don't burn down... Getting lost in the blizzard; need to head toward the gunfire...

Miles Morales: Ganke! I'm headed east. Where are you?

Miles Morales: They're in Teo's bodega. I'm close, but I need to take care of Roxxon and the Underground before the streets are safe.

Roxxon Security: Got a bead on him!

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Teo's bodega's up there... man I hope Spider-Man's OK.

Roxxon Security: Neutralizing Spider-Man!

Underground: Get him outta the air!

Underground: Now I'm really pissed off!

Roxxon Security: Knock him out!

Underground: Hurry up and ground him!

Underground Brute: He'll bleed just like any of us!

Underground: I've got a shot at Spider-Man!

Underground: I got a shot!

Underground Brute: You're done!

Underground Brute: Won't take much to end you!

Miles Morales: Ganke?! Ganke, where are you? Can you guys make a break for it?

Teo: Who's that? Someone there?

Miles Morales: Guys, guys, listen, hey! We need to get out of here, but I can only carry some of you.

Miles Morales: She's started already.

Roxxon Security: Spider-Man sighted!

Prowler: Get outta here, young blood!

Ganke: Whoa!

Prowler: You've got more important things to do.

Rio: He's right. Go. We'll get people clear.

Miles Morales: I'll be back.

Rio: I know.

Rio: OK people—check every door! We don't leave anyone behind!

Miles Morales: NO!

Miles Morales: You don't know... what you're doing.

Tinkerer: They deserve what's coming to them.

Miles Morales: No, the reactor— Krieger changed the specs. You're not just going to destroy Roxxon Plaza, you're gonna vaporize all of Harlem!

Tinkerer: I'm not gonna let you lie to me again.

Tinkerer: You're too late!

Miles Morales: I can't let you do this.

Tinkerer: I can't let you stop me.

Miles Morales: Don't you see what the reactor's doing?!

Tinkerer: Destroying the plaza! Tearing down Krieger's monument!

Miles Morales: If the plaza melts down, it'll take Harlem with it!

Tinkerer: Who fed you that? Krieger? I ran the numbers! Just get out of here—leave! Please! I don't want to do this!

Miles Morales: I'm not leaving Phin. You can help me stop this, or you can kill me. Your choice.

Tinkerer: Krieger couldn't change the reactor. He's not that smart.

Miles Morales: He's smart enough. Let me stop this!

Miles Morales: I don't... want to fight. We'll talk—After I disable the reac—

Rio: Miles...

Miles Morales: Phin—look! The reactor's still going critical. Soon we won't be able to stop it!

Tinkerer: NO! I am not running away again.

Tinkerer: You were the one person I needed on my side!

Miles Morales: I am on your side! We can take down Roxxon with what we know about Nuform.

Tinkerer: It won't work. No one cares!

Miles Morales: I don't want to do this, Phin!

Tinkerer: Then stop—leave! Get away!

Miles Morales: Did you feel that? We have to stop the reactor!

Tinkerer: You can't beat me. Stay back! Ugh, aren't you tired yet?

Miles Morales: The more weapons you build, the more I'll destroy!

Tinkerer: Oh I can keep this up all day, Miles.

Simon Krieger: (via loudspeaker) Oh, hey, battle royale, my favorite. Uh, just wanted to chime in and let you know, so you won't worry: we're gonna be just fine if this building blows. Hell, we'll be fine if all of Harlem blows. I mean do you have any idea what kind of insurance we've got? Oh, and the optics of being the victims of a terrorist attack? Forget Roxxon Plaza. Coming Soon: Roxxon City. Alright, later kids.

Tinkerer: No... I have to stop him...

Miles Morales: Not like this!

Tinkerer: I've beaten you before—I'll do it again!

Miles Morales: Not this time.

Tinkerer: Keep dodging. See if it helps.

Miles Morales: Did you feel that? We have to stop the reactor! I know about the promise you made to Rick, but he wouldn't want—

Tinkerer: Don't say his name!

Tinkerer: I gave you EVERY chance to leave!

Tinkerer: Don't make me kill you. You can't win. Why do you keep fighting?

Miles Morales: Because... I'm... Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: Death wheels. Okay.

Tinkerer: Argh, quit moving!

Miles Morales: Need to... dodge those... Gotta keep moving...

Tinkerer: How do you move so fast? You can't hide forever! Gotcha! I'm done listening!

Miles Morales: You never started!

Tinkerer: Not gonna be that easy! You won't stop me!

Miles Morales: Then I'll go down trying!

Tinkerer: This shouldn't be happening...

Miles Morales: I can stop it—

Miles Morales: Phin!

Tinkerer: I'm sorry.

Miles Morales: It's okay.

Rick Mason: No... Phin, don't look!

Phin Mason: Miles...

Miles Morales: Get them far away. I can't hold this in much longer.

Miles Morales: What are you...

Miles Morales: I can't...! I can't...

Tinkerer: It's okay. Just let go... Let go...

Rio: No, no, no, no please. Miles! Oh god, say something.

Miles Morales: Is everyone... okay?

Rio: We're safe. All of us.

Miles Morales: Phin...

Rio: Oh...

Construction Worker: He's so young...

Mural Painter: Hey—get outta here, kid. We'll take care of them.

Reporter: Did you see his face?

Rio: You did good... Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: Thanks.

Reporter: Who is he?

Mural Painter: That guy? He's our Spider-Man.

On-screen: Four weeks later

Simon Krieger: c'mon—those are clearly deep fakes. They're DEEP FAKES! You understand me? Do you have ANY idea who I am? I will OWN you! I will—

Police Officer: Yeah yeah, we know who you are.

Simon Krieger: Ow! I will own you! Do you hear me!? (shouts)

On-screen: Roxxon's Krieger Arrested, Awaits Trial

Danika: That's right, friends: Simon Krieger is in PRISON. Aaron Davis, AKA the Prowler, flipped on him and Roxxon. Davis will serve time but could get a reduced sentence, I think we can all learn something from what happened in Harlem: together, we're stronger. And that having your own neighborhood Spider-Man is pretty great.

Miles Morales: Lookin' good, Hailey.

Peter Parker: Man, still can't get over that suit. So cool.

Miles Morales: Gotta be me.

Peter Parker: Yeah. You do.

Miles Morales: Pete, does this job ever get easier?

Peter Parker: Some of it, yeah. Some things never get easier, though.

Miles Morales: Roxxon did this uptown 'cause they saw us as disposable. Me. Rick. Phin. All of Harlem. I think part of our job's making sure they can't get away with it.

Peter Parker: We'll add it to the Spider-Man oath.

Peter Parker: Go time?

Miles Morales: Go time.

Post-Credit[]

Newscaster: —residents of Harlem are still feeling the effects of the recent citywide uprising of the group known as "The Underground." While the Roxxon Corporation deals with a rash of lawsuits, newly elected city councilwoman Rio Morales addressed the media yesterday to make a plea for additional public funds to assist with the—

Curt Connors: Vitals are good. Circulatory system healthy. Um. Brain activity normal—

Norman Osborn: He's been in there long enough.

Curt Connors: Mr. Osborn, I understand he's your son.

Norman Osborn: I want him out, Curt.

Curt Connors: But his disease could— But we may be underestimating the potential danger of—

Norman Osborn: I said, GET HIM OUT! NOW!

Miles Morales: Goodbye, Phin.

Time Capsules[]

Roxxon Labs[]

Miles Morales: This looks like one of Roxxon's secret labs. Should text Ganke.

Miles Morales: Yep, this is it.

Ganke (phone): Hey, got your text. Good news: I can access Roxxon's security through the signals your suit is picking up.

Roxxon Security: Jerry, you there?

Ganke (phone): I'm in! Roxxon security, you're mine. I can open that door for you, but it needs power. Got it. I'm opening the door. Hey, I found something while I was poking around security. This is the lab where they noticed people were getting sick around Nuform.

Miles Morales: Did anyone say "hey, maybe we should rethink this whole Nuform thing"?

Ganke (phone): Yeah. Rick Mason.

Miles Morales: Oh... Good thing we're shutting this place down.

Ganke (phone): And not a moment too soon.

Miles Morales: What's in here? Looks like... security? Where they dumped stuff they've confiscated.

Roxxon Security: He just...

Roxxon Security: Take 'em out!

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Neutralizing Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Keep him grounded!

Roxxon Security: That hurt him!

Roxxon Security: Quit moving!

Rexxon Security: We're losing too many men—dig in!

Roxxon Security: Detain him!

Roxxon Security: Ground him!

Roxxon Security: Stay out of this, Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Taking aim!

Roxxon Security: Head to the main floor!

Roxxon Security: Copy!

Miles Morales: You all need to get out of here! The reactor's not safe!

Roxxon Security: We're authorized to use lethal force!

Miles Morales: I gotta shut down this lab. Whatever it takes.

Roxxon Security: Our orders are to detain Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Put Spider-Man down, now! Use everything you've got!

Roxxon Security: Get clear!

Roxxon Security: Surrender—now!

Roxxon Security: Hostile's in the air!

Roxxon Security: Target is hostile!

Roxxon Security: You shouldn't’ve come here!

Roxxon Security: Stand down, final warning!

Roxxon Security: We're in trouble here!

Roxon Security: Keep him out of the air!

Roxxon Security: Need a medic! Unit down!

Miles Morales: Here, catch! That's everybody. Time to drain the reactor.

Miles Morales: That... will never not suck.

Ganke (phone): That powered the lab down. You should probably get out of there. Through that office.

Miles Morales: Could see if there's some Roxxon dirt in that computer before I head out...

Simon Krieger (recording): Hey Roxxon, there is a rumor going around that Nuform makes our people sick. Now c'mon, guys, of course that's not happening. And if it were, we would take care of you. Without you, nothing gets made. No Nuform, no plaza, and no future. I gotta tell you guys, that future, right now, is at risk. So before you decide to spread what's really just a malicious lie, think again. We cool? Remember, we're here for you.

Miles Morales: Sometimes it feels like Krieger's competing on "America's Most Evil".

Miles Morales: Thanks for your help in there. Fighting Roxxon's no joke.

Ganke (phone): I don't know. The Underground made it their favorite pastime.

Miles Morales: Heh, true.

Ganke (phone): Seriously though, what kind of a friend would be if I didn't help shut down the occasional toxic fuel reactor?

Miles Morales: Ganke, I'm at the Roxxon lab in Chinatown. Can you access their security?

Ganke (phone): You betcha.

Miles Morales: Got it.

Miles Morales: Down there. I'm here.

Ganke (phone): And I'm on their network. I can see what you see and all the wiring in the lab.

Miles Morales: Nice. Let's shut this place down. Might be something behind that door... Let's see what we've got here... Ganke, you ready to pop this door open once power it up?

Ganke (phone): Ready and waiting.

Miles Morales: Did that do it?

Ganke (phone): Yup, and I got it unlocked.

Miles Morales: There's a Nuform reactor powering this place. Just gotta drain it.

Ganke: You should be able to find it on the ground floor straight ahead.

Roxxon Security: You see the latest quarterly report?

Roxxon Security: I don't read that stuff, and I don't know why you do.

Roxxon Security: I want evidence, in case the Nuform... you know. Makes me sick. I've read about Chernobyl, Three Mile Island. It's not that different.

Roxxon Security: I wouldn't say that while I was on duty, if I were you.

Roxxon Security: Standby, might have something. Spider-Man's here—engage on sight!

Roxxon Security: Eyes up, I found webs!

Miles Morales: Lights out for you!

Roxxon Security: Cover my six.

Miles Morales: Huh. Easier than I thought.

Roxxon Security: Hang on—I heard something. Think I've got movement. We'll flush him out!

Miles Morales: (I liked that.)

Roxxon Security: Man down!

Roxxon Security: Got visual on Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: He could be anywhere!

Roxxon Security: Engaging hostile!

Roxxon Security: Got eyes on target!

Roxxon Security: Target is hostile!

Roxxon Security: Ground him!

Roxxon Security: Check on bravo team and see what's the problem!

Miles Morales: The problem is your nasty Nuform reactor. The solution is me wrecking it.

Roxxon Security: Taking you down, Spider-Man!

Ganke (phone): Hey man, found some heavily-redacted-but-still-legible files.

Miles Morales: Nothing we could use to expose them, right?

Ganke (phone): Nope. It's a bunch of tests confirming Nuform gets explosive when exposed to electricity.

Miles Morales: Like my Venom.

Ganke (phone): Like any stray spark. I mean, it makes gasoline look like lemonade. Uh, that simile worked better in my head.

Miles Morales: I got it. Once again, Nuform's way more dangerous than Roxxon wants to admit.

Roxxon Security: You shouldn't’ve come here!

Roxxon Security: It's Spider-Man! Lay him out!

Roxxon Security: Stand down, final warning!

Roxxon Security: He's in my sights!

Roxxon Security: Need a medic!

Roxxon Security: Get him back down here!

Roxxon Security: Engaging Spider-Man!

Roxxon Security: Detain him!

Roxxon Security: Bring him down!

Miles Morales: Cleared out the guards. Now for the reactor.

Miles Morales: Not... that... bad. Ugh.

Ganke (phone): Security shutters are open. You know what to do.

Miles Morales: Hm, probably worth looking around here.

Simon Krieger (recording): Dear Roxxon employees, as thanks for your hard work, we put together a little gift package. So get ready to look cool in some killer Roxxon swag. Oh, wait ‘til you guys see these sunglasses. We got tickets to our holiday gala, and even, wait for it, complimentary enrollment into our coaching program. Boom! Hey, maybe I'll see you in class. Remember, we're here for you.

Miles Morales: Yeah, "we're here for you, unless Nuform wrecks you."

Ganke (phone): Can you imagine telling yourself a year ago that we'd be taking down an evil energy company together?

Miles Morales: Honestly... no.

Ganke (phone): We've gone from making batteries in chemistry to you becoming a human battery.

Miles Morales: It's wild, dude. Can't wait to see where we go from here.

Underground Hideouts[]

(Upon approaching a base for the first time.)
Ganke Lee (phone): Hey Miles, remember when I said knew someone who's looking into the Underground? She's on the line.

Danika Hart (phone): Hi, uh, Spider-Man? I'm Danika Hart. I'm planning a podcast series on the Underground and your, uh, your tech guy said you needed help with them?

Miles Morales: Oh! Wow. Um. I'm a big fan. I'm actually at one of their hideouts right now. Any advice?

Danika Hart (phone): You're a fan? Wow, okay. (clears throat) Sorry. There are radio dead zones, so police can't coordinate a raid. If you disable the jammers, I can alert the police and get 'em shut down.

Miles Morales: I'm on it. Thanks for the help, Danika!

Greenwich

(Upon approaching the base.)
On-screen: Defeat the Underground

Miles Morales: Hey Danika, I'm at another hideout.

Danika Hart (phone): Oo! Awesone. I just reorganized my notes for my podcast series, and I am ready to dig in. Go find that jammer.

(Partway during assaulting the base.)
Danika Hart (phone): Hey, so I checked this location against local crime reports, and guess what. A while back, the Maggia and an unidentified group, obviously pre-Tinkerer Underground, got into a shootout here.

Miles Morales: Underground went after the Maggia? Like, the crime families?

Danika Hart (phone): They wanted respect. Makes sense they'd try and jump ahead by gunning for the ruling class.

(Partway during assaulting the base.)
Danika Hart (phone): Hey, question. Where'd the "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" thing come from?

Miles Morales: Uhh, my mentor came up with it.

Danika Hart (phone): I like it. I mean, at first I thought it was kind of cornball, but now I like it.

Miles Morales: Uh... thanks?

(Upon defeating everyone inside the base.)
On-screen: Find and shut down the jammer

Miles Morales (varies?)

• There, now to find the jammer. I should be able to track the wires with my suit.
• Okay, all that's left is to find the jammer and shut it down.

(While looking for the wires.)
Miles Morales: Wire runouts are a good place to start.

(Upon spotting the crates blocking the entrance.)
Miles Morales: There's a pulley over those crates.

(Upon finding the entrance.)
Miles Morales: As Pete would say: "that's a bingo."

(Upon entering the building.)
Miles Morales: Wow, it's a Maggia trophy room. Found the jammer.

(Upon investigating the counterfeit bills.)
Miles Morales: Green's a little off on these bills. Guess the Maggia never nailed down their counterfeiting operation.

(Upon investigating the poker chips.)
Miles Morales: Poker chips. Definitely the old crime families' style.

(Upon spotting the jammer.)
Miles Morales: Found the jammer.

(Upon breaking the jammer.)
Miles Morales: Guess I can head out.

(After the cargo falls.)
Miles Morales: Crap!

Miles Morales: Hey, uh, the way out's blocked.

Danika Hart (phone): Should I call someone? Like—like backup?

Miles Morales: I'll... figure it out.

On-screen: Find a way out

On-screen: Use Venom to power up the generator.

Miles Morales: That old elevator could be my ticket out of here. Just needs some juice.

(Upon powering up the generator.)
Miles Morales: Okay, now to wire that to the elevator

On-screen: Connect the generator to the power relays.

(Upon connecting the elevator.)
Miles Morales: Man, I'm good. Their cunning trap has failed.

Miles Morales: Hey, consider the jammer jammed.

DJ: Perfect, now I'm just gonna give the police an anonymous tip. And... boom! No more hideout.

Miles Morales: Appreciate the help. Did you get what you needed?

Danika Hart (phone): Yep. I'm gonna dig some more into this turf war between the Underground and the Maggia. Smells like a story.

Miles Morales: Sounds good. I'm looking forward to hearing the podcast.

Upper East Side

(Upon approaching the base.)
On-screen: Defeat the Underground

Miles Morales: Hey, Danika, I'm at the Underground hideout on the Upper East Side.

Danika Hart (phone): Cool. You look for the jammer. I'll start pulling records for what the Underground's been up to here.

(Partway during assaulting the base.)
Danika Hart (phone): Hey Spider-Man, I ran a custom search of this address with some Underground-specific queries. This used to be a Tombstone hideout.

Miles Morales: Whoa, what's the history there?

Danika Hart (phone): The Underground and Tombstone's crew did a few jobs together: robberies, hits, carjackings. There was a falling-out when a member killed one of Tombstone's guys. The Underground were outgunned.

Miles Morales: Until the Tinkerer came along.

Danika Hart (phone): Yeah, and by then Tombstone was in prison, so they were able to sleep in here no problem.

(Partway during assaulting the base.)
Miles Morales: So, uh, this may be off topic, but do you have like, a sound guy? To write your intro music?

Danika Hart (phone): Ah, I dated a guy for lik,e half a minute, and he was nice enough to write my stinger before we broke up.

Miles Morales: Oh. If you ever need someone who mixes beats I uh, I know a guy.

Danika Hart (phone): That would be amazing, because I am totally tone-deaf.

(Upon defeating everyone inside the base.)
On-screen: Find and shut down the jammer

Miles Morales: There, now to find the jammer. I should be able to track the wires with my suit.

(Upon approaching the patched wall.)
Miles Morales: Shouldn't be too heavy.

(Upon entering the building.)
Miles Morales: And it wasn't.

(Upon spotting the jammer.)
Miles Morales: There's the jammer. They kept trophies from their fights with Tombstone. How sentimental.

(Upon investigating the drugs.)
Miles Morales: Grave Dust. Makes your skin nearly invulnerable. Pete ended up creating a counter-drug to stop it. Hope the Underground aren't getting into this.

(Upon investigating the motorbike.)
Miles Morales: tbv

(Upon spotting the mannequins.)
Miles Morales: Did those mannequins... move?

Underground member: This place is ours! You're not taking it from us!

(After defeating the Underground member.)
Miles Morales: I never want to see another mannequin.

Miles Morales: Hey, hideout should be back on the grid.

Danika Hart (phone): Okay! Tipping off the cops.... cool, I'm going to chase the Tombstone/Underground partnership lead for my series.

Miles Morales: I should head out before the cops get here and cover everything in crime tape

Upper West Side

(Upon approaching the base.)
On-screen: Defeat the Underground

Miles Morales: Hey Danika, I'm at an Underground hideout.

Danika Hart (phone): Perfect. You handle the jammer and I'll see what I can dig up.

(Partway during assaulting the base.)
Danika Hart (phone): Hey, so, despite the dead zone, I was able to ping an IP address, and it led me to an online Underground forum, and it is gold.

Miles Morales: Really? Have you found anything good? Like how they started?

Danika Hart (phone): They were wannabe mafia, started with assaults and robberies, and then went after bigger groups so they could earn a reputation, like—Oh, the Inner Demons.

(Partway during assaulting the base.)
Miles Morales: Hey Danike, so after they'd made a run at the Inner Demons, how'd things go? When Devil's Breath hit, enough of the Underground got sick that they went into hiding.

Miles Morales: And Martin Li going to jail ended the Demons.

Danika Hart (phone): Yeah, the Underground took over the Demons' territory kinda by default. Not very dramatic.

(Upon defeating everyone inside the base.)
On-screen: Find and shut down the jammer

Miles Morales: Alright, time to shut down the jammer. Let's see where it is

(Upon entering the building.)
Miles Morales: Demon stuff. Spoils of war, I guess.

(Upon investigating the sword.)
Miles Morales: Hard to imagine a sword and shield holding up against the firepower the Underground has now.

(Upon investigating the masks.)
Miles Morales: Yeah... I prefer my mask.

(Upon approaching the jammer.)
Miles Morales: Need to shut down the jammer.

(Upon destroying the jammer.)
Miles Morales: Hey, hideout's back on the grid.

Danika Hart (phone): Nice to be in the cops off now. Oh I can't wait to write up this Underground/Demons conflict for my podcast series. Thanks, Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: That's my cue to leave

(Upon completing all Underground hideouts.)
Danika Hart (phone): Hey, I've been checking on all the hideouts we've shut down—recruiting's tanked and those blocks have gotten way safer!

Miles Morales: That's great! Thanks for calling them in. I wouldn't've found the jammers without you.

Danika Hart (phone): SO, I was looking through my files. It seems like the Tinkerer was working on some big secret project in Hell's Kitchen.

Miles Morales: Is it Nuform-related?

Danika Hart (phone): No, it looks like... programmable matter?

Miles Morales: I've faced that stuff before. Maybe I should take it off her hands.

Danika Hart (phone): Oh hey, there's a code referenced here; 2658. Maybe try that if you find something, you know, locked?

Miles Morales: 2658, got it. Thanks again, Danika, for doing your podcast. Those tips at the end of your episodes have been life-changing.

Danika Hart (phone): Oh! Well—well, I'm glad! Thanks. When my Underground series is out, let me know what you think.

Miles Morales: Sounds good to me. Talk to you later?

Sound Samples[]

(While completing the Harlem sound sample.)

Aaron Davis (phone): Your dad and I fell asleep listening to this sound every night when we were kids. It's got a good beat.

Miles Morales: Okay, something rhythmic that was around when Dad and Uncle Aaron were little.

Miles Morales: Yeah, that's it!

Aaron Davis (phone): You probably don't know this, but your dad and grew up not far from here, before we moved to Brooklyn in high school. Hearing the clatter of the wheels, the squealing when the trains turn or stop, always makes me think of me in your dad's late night talks. Mostly about what we wanted to be when we grew up. I wanted to be a space alien. Your dad's dream changed—doctor, firefighter, social worker, but he always wanted to help people.

Miles Morales: Heh, yeah, that sounds like Dad.

(While completing the Upper East Side sound sample.)
Aaron Davis (phone): Your mom lived here right after college, you know that? She and your dad were dating; three of us spent a lot of time here. We got used to this soft, steady beat.

Miles Morales: A soft beat... Yeah, it's subtle, but a good beat.

Aaron Davis (phone): Things were good back then, felt like they'd be good forever. Your mom got her first gig as a teacher; your dad, was new to being a cop and I'd just started calling myself "the Prowler." I figured we all kept secrets about our jobs. Couldn'rlast, though. Your dad's job and mine crossed paths too often.

Miles Morales: Man, Uncle Aaron, if you would've been anything else, my mom and dad would've supported you all the way.

(While completing the Central Park sound sample.)
Aaron Davis (phone): This one was all your dad's idea. You need something that's always in this park. Quiet on their own, loud in a group.

Miles Morales: Loud in a group? Uh... hm...

Miles Morales: How did Dad record this? Was he a pigeon whisperer?

Aaron Davis (phone): This was way back, before high school. We were hanging in the park one day, and someone dropped a hot dog. You know how that goes: place was swarming with pigeons. Your dad stopped cold. He said "Aaron, man, that's music, listen." Next day we were crawling all over Manhattan looking for beats like you are now.

Miles Morales: I remember the first time they showed me how to sample. Uncle Aaron had the gear, and Dad had the ear for music.

(While completing the Upper West Side sound sample.)
Aaron Davis (phone): This is a good one. Me and your dad used to hang around here, listen while the whole station came alive. That's what you need.

Miles Morales: Something at the station...

Aaron Davis (phone): I think hanging around here's how your dad got the idea to be a cop. I said, 'man, you're not uptight enough for that job' but he wanted to make things better from the inside. Pretty sure he died trying.

Miles Morales: You did make things better, Dad. And so will I.

(While completing the Midown sound sample.)
Aaron Davis (phone): Times Square. Easy to find someone in a crowd here, or lose 'em. Sound you need's like an electric current.

Miles Morales: A current? Could cheat it with Venom. Heh, nah.

Miles Morales: Oh that's cool, love how alive that feels.

Aaron Davis (phone): After I started calling myself the Prowler, met my first client right under this sign. Neon flag's hard to miss, and the crowd makes it easy to blend in. She wanted me to steal a painting, I looked across the square and saw your tad lookin' back at me. He never said anything, just turned and left. He didn't know everything, just that I was a thief, but that was enough. I think he saw where we were headed long before I did.

Miles Morales: If you'd tried to act right sooner... he would've forgiven you. I know he would've.

(While completing the Greenwich sound sample.)
Aaron Davis (phone): This sound always feels like someone's celebrating, even when it's just telling time. Your dad thought so, too, so we had to include it.

Miles Morales: A sound that tells time. Okay...

Miles Morales: Oh, that's good.

Miles Morales: That's it! Ringing on the hour.

Aaron Davis (phone): When I hear those bells, I remember the last time I was here. Your dad had just graduated from the police academy. I didn't go to the ceremony, so I met him here after. Bought us milkshakes: strawberry for him, peanut butter for me. Don't know why I remember that. He said he couldn't cover for me anymore, if I got in trouble. I told him I was done with that life. I was lying, but he believed me for a while. Or at least pretended to.

Miles Morales: Man, things got complicated between them.

(While completing the Chinatown sound sample.)
Aaron Davis (phone): This plaza and the blocks around it are alive with sound. One you're lookin' for is light, distinctive.

Miles Morales: Light, huh? Okay...

Miles Morales: Yeah wind chimes, that sounds good.

Aaron Davis (phone): This plaza's where I had my first job. I was fresh out of high school then, didn't have the gear or the mask. Guy paid me to mug his boss: rough him up, take everything in his wallet. Your dad found out. He stood under those wind chimes yelling at me for an hour. But he never told our folks. He made me promise I'd stop stealing. Wish I'd kept my word. He deserved better.

Miles Morales: I wish you had, too. Maybe you and Dad would've stayed close. I can't imagine ever turning my back on my family.

(While completing the ferry sound sample.)
Aaron Davis (phone): Have fun with this one. I had a repeat client I always met here. Got real used to waiting, listening, hearing this sound running on a tight schedule.

Miles Morales: A sound on a schedule...

Miles Morales: Oh yeah, that's cool.

Aaron Davis (phone): Client I met here used to take the ferry over from Jersey. Working for him was good money, 'til he got busted. He's how your dad found out about the Prowler. Not that it was me, but that a thief was making it big in New York, and your dad volunteered for the case. I could feel him closing in. Had to try and guess which'd be worse: if I told him, or if he caught me.

Miles Morales: If that'd been me... ...I don't know what I'd do. But that can't be the only reason Dad cut him off, not if he fessed up. Just wasn't Dad.

(After collecting all sound samples.)
Aaron Davis (phone): Hey young blood, you got almost everything you need for the track. You just unlocked the spot where you can find the last piece. Hope it works for you.

Miles Morales: Spot in Harlem. Wonder what the last piece is. I gotta admit, Harlem's got a pretty dope vibe. Not Brooklyn... but dope. Abandoned subway tunnels. Guess a good thief needs a good hideout.

(Upon reaching Aaron Davis' hideout.)
Miles Morales: (Looking at the table) Always making upgrades. I definitely got my suit-patching skills from Uncle Aaron.

Miles Morales: (looking at the computer) Uncle Aaron's got tabs all over the city. He must've been building his network for years.

Miles Morales: (looking at the golden dragon statue) My mom bought him this at a flea market. It was a joke about... can't remember.

Miles Morales: (looking at the music set) Sequencer, sampler, vintage. Has to be him and Dad's equipment. He was always way better at guitar than me...

Miles Morales: (looking at Chinese food boxes) He used to come to our place for dinner all the time. Guess he never learned to cook...

Miles Morales: (looking at a punching bag) Maybe I should take a few swings. Nah, I'd probably break it.

Miles Morales: "Use the sounds"... Frequency lock?

Miles Morales: Something new every day...

Aaron Davis (phone): Hey kid, hope the suit fits. You asked why me and your dad stopped talking. He was investigating the Prowler. It led him to my clients, people like Simon Krieger, Wilson Fisk. Your dad couldn't afford to make enemies like that, not with you and Rio in the picture. So I told him. Hoped he'd back off, and he did. For good. He didn't want me around, didn't want you to turn out like me. Hope this suit helps you be better. Take care, Spider-Man.

Miles Morales: Thank you, Uncle Aaron. For everything.

Side missions[]

Final Test[]

(After starting the challenge.)
Peter Parker (hologram): ESU. Hallowed halls. My alma mater. Have I ever told you what happened when I started school here? Step up to the prompt and live the story for yourself...

Miles Morales: This is gonna to be fun...

On-screen: Prepare for a serious fight.

On-screen: Head to the prompt

(Upon entering the prompt area.)
Peter Parker (hologram): On the very first day class—

Vulture: Mwah! I'll smash you into bird seed, Spider-Man!

Peter Parker (hologram): (clears throat) Sorry. That's my best Vulture.

Miles Morales: Oh, Pete had fun with this...

Peter Parker (hologram): Vulture's old research partner, Greg Bestman, taught at ESU. Vulture tried to take Bestman out, I tried to stop him. I'll tell you what, Miles: this fight was hard.

Miles Morales: Love Pete's stories.

"Vulture" (hologram): Always meddling, Spider-Man! Why won't you let me commit my senseless, overly dramatic crimes in peace?!

Miles Morales: Feel like Pete's working out some stuff with this Vulture imitation.

"Vulture" (hologram): I'm old! I'm old and I hate youth! Get off my lawn! Early bird specials! Casual racism that it's not worth it to challenge me on!

Miles Morales: (chuckles) Too real.

On-screen: Beat Pete's final challenge

(Upon taking too much damage, at this point.)
"Vulture" (hologram): (shouts) No! No!

(If not yet.)
"Vulture" (hologram): Have I told you I like Shakespeare? I do! I love him! But I misquote Hamlet every time we fight, and refuse to admit it! "To be or, like, not. That's a question!"

Miles Morales: Spider-Man villains have got some issues!

(Upon taking too much damage, at this point.)
"Vulture" (hologram): I'm melting, I'm melting! Oh, what a world, what a world...

Peter Parker (hologram): It was a tough fight, but he was weakening. Then, just as I thought I might actually win...Vulture's evil-er twin brother showed up to help! No. Actually, he rope-a-doped me. I was exhausted; he was barely winded. But man, it felt like two Vultures.

Miles Morales: Two?! This fight's no joke.

"Vulture" #1 (hologram): How does it feel to be a metaphor for youthful inexperience, Vulture #2?

"Vulture" #2 (hologram): Great, Vulture #1! I love being used to illustrate the importance of pacing yourself during a battle!

Miles Morales: How long did Pete spend making this?

"Vulture" #1 (hologram): Hey Vulture #2, when should you buy a bird?

"Vulture" #2 (hologram): When it's going cheep! Hah!

Miles Morales: I've been waiting for the bird jokes to come out!

"Vulture" #1 (hologram): Why are we so evil, Vulture #2?

"Vulture" #2 (hologram): Because of society! Society is to blame! ...Also overinflated egos combined with an inability to achieve success through normal avenues... but mainly society!

Miles Morales: Heh, roast 'em, Pete!

(Upon being defeated first.)
"Vulture" #1 (hologram): Avenge me, brother!

"Vulture" #2 (hologram): No! You've defeated my metaphorical brother! I'm metaphorically pissed, Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: And I'm metaphorically loving this!

(Upon being defeated first.)
"Vulture" #2 (hologram): (coughs) Out... out... brief candle...

Miles Morales: Pete, what?

"Vulture" #1 (hologram): No! You've defeated my metaphorical brother! I'm metaphorically pissed, Spider-Man!

Miles Morales: And I'm metaphorically loving this!

(After defeating one Vulture.)
Peter Parker (hologram): What kept me going? Seeing MJ and Harry in the courtyard, cheering me on. They believe in me... so I did too.

Miles Morales: I see what Pete's doing. Fight with a message. Good thematic structure!

(Upon defeating the other Vulture.)
"Vulture" (hologram): No! I'll be back, Spider-Man... I'll be back!

(Upon defeating both.)
Peter Parker (hologram): That fight taught me I'd always be a kid from Queens at heart, but I could carry that strength anywhere. To Manhattan, to the west coast, heck, even even to Symkaria. Weird to think, but I owe it all to an old man in a bird costume. I should really write him a thank you note... Anyway, nice work, Miles. Holographic Spider-Training: officially complete!

Miles Morales: That was some great training! Kudos to Pete on super clean combat design.

(During the fight.)
(Sometimes, upon being hit with melee.)
"Vulture" (hologram): Ah! Curses!

(Sometimes, upon being hit with a returned ranged attack.)
"Vulture" (hologram): You'll never not manage that again!

(Sometimes, upon using a ranged attack.)
"Vulture" (hologram): Catch, Spider-Man!

(Sometimes, upon returning a ranged attack.)

Miles Morales

• Here, catch!
• Got something for ya!
• ¡Aquí tienes! (Here you go!)

(Upon failing.)
Peter Parker (hologram): And yer dead. Vulture destroyed Manhattan. Sorry. Wanna try again?

Miles Morales: Too much damage. This guy's pretty dang tough.

Matter Up[]

Miles Morales: Whoa! Hm. 2658, right?

Miles Morales: Programmable matter. I could make this into anything...

Miles Morales: Oh, I'm digging this... Think that'll do it.

Memory Lane[]

On-screen: Head to the apartment.

Miles Morales: Hey ma', you busy?

Rio Morales (phone): Not too busy. What's going on?

Miles Morales: I just left Trinity Church, and I was thinking about Phin and...

Rio Morales (phone): Tell me about it.

Miles Morales: She saved my life, and yours, everybody's. But she's the one who put us in danger in the first place. But seeing what happened to Rick, I get why she did it...

Rio Morales (phone): People are messy. Take your Uncle Aaron: He's the reason Krieger's in jail, and he helped us get people out of Harlem. But every time I looked at him... I think of all the pain he put your dad through.

Miles Morales: Yeah...

Rio Morales (phone): You don't need to make a judgment on Phin's life, m'hijo (my son). Or her death. Just remember who she was and why you loved her.

Miles Morales: You always know what to say.

Rio Morales (phone): That's my job. Call me back if you need me, entiende? (understood?)

Miles Morales: Si, te quiero. (Yes, I love you.)

(After returning home.)
On-screen: Get some rest

Miles Morales: Really need to sleep.

(Upon going to sleep.)
Miles Morales: Just a quick... nap... (snores)

Miles Morales: From mom... it's a clue for a scavenger hunt. Dad and I used to do these... did she make a new one?

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
Postcard: Happy Birthday Miles! Ready for the best scavenger hunt ever? Here is the first clue: facing the park, with the world on our shoulders, we guard the next clue.

Postcard

• Miles Morales
• Apt #128
• 151211 123rd ST
• New York, NY 210027

(Upon putting it down.)
Miles Morales: I'm gonna check this out. See what mom put together. Should get out of here; check out the Natural History Museum.

On-screen: Leave the apartment

(After exiting the apartment.)
Miles Morales: Haven't been to the Museum in forever. Think the last time was with Phin and dad. Those trips were really fun. It's weird to think about, now...

(Upon arriving at the Natural History Museum.)
Miles Morales: Okay, Natural History Museum. Clue on the postcard said "Facing the park, with the world on our shoulders, we guard the next clue." Hm. There's a statue of four guys holding a globe at the Central Park entrance; might be what that clue means.

(Upon finding the second postcard.)
Miles Morales: Another postcard under here. This one's of the Empire State Building.

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
On-screen: High atop the Empire State, you'll find a pair of blind eyes.

Miles Morales: "High atop the Empire State, you'll find a pair of blind eyes."

(Upon putting it down.)
Miles Morales: There's a flash drive attached...

Jefferson Davis (recording): Hey big man, happy birthday!

Miles Morales: Oh my God... Dad...

Jefferson Davis (recording): Scavenger hunt seemed like a fun way to celebrate sixteen. Tour down memory lane. Remember that summer you and Phin forced me to take you to the Museum every weekend. Here's a secret; I loved those trips. Used to be I felt guilty you didn't have any siblings. Things with your uncle are tough now, but I would have never made it to eighteen without him. Anytime I'd see you with Phin... I'd feel less guilty. You have a sister. Her. With Phin, and now Ganke... you'll always have family in your life. Love you lots big man, see you at the next clue.

Miles Morales: Wow. Haven't heard his voice in so long. I hope he left me more messages with the rest of the scavenger hunt.

Rio Morales (phone): Hey sleepy head. Did you find my note?

Miles Morales: Yeah. I followed the clue and just... heard dad. Did you do all this?

Rio Morales (phone): Just the setup; your dad made the clues last year. I know it's been tough since the move; thought hearing from him could help.

Miles Morales: It does. Gracias, mom. (Thanks, mom.)

Rio Morales (phone): De nada. (You're welcome.) Have fun with him. And remember; I'm here if you need me, Miles. You can tell me anything. Te quiero (I love you).

Miles Morales: Te quiero (I love you).

(Upon climbing the Empire State Building.)
Miles Morales: Empire State Building, let's check the clue. "High atop the Empire State, you'll find a pair of blind eyes." Maybe the clue's about the binoculars on the observation platform...

(Upon finding the third postcard.)
Miles Morales: Modern Art Museum in Greenwich. I remember that place...

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
On-screen: Find the fossil hiding among the modern. Don't forget to look up!

Miles Morales: "Find the fossil hiding among the modern. Don't forget to look up!" Hm.

(Upon putting it down.)
Jefferson Davis (recording): Fifth grade field trip. Empire State Building. I chaperoned. (chuckles) Never agree to wrangle a bus full of ten-year-olds, son. Took us three hours to get here, and when we did, who showed up? The Web-Head himself; battling Vulture. Soon as we stepped off the elevator, we had to turn right back around again and evacuate. Thing I remember most though: you wanted to stay. Told me "Spider-Man needs our help, dad." You're born hero, Miles. Don't ever lose that fighting spirit. See you at the next clue.

Miles Morales: "Born hero." Think I learned to be a hero from watching dad. I miss him, especially now.

(Upon arriving at the Modern Art Museum.)
Miles Morales: Okay, here's the Modern Art Museum. "Find the fossil hiding among the modern. Don't forget to look up!" Hey... doesn't the Museum keep a fossil on the balcony facing the river? Worth a look.

(Upon finding the fourth postcard.)
Miles Morales: Next clue. Looks like I'm going to C.O.D.B.'s...

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
On-screen: Where money is king, you'll find great tunes, hanging among the lights.

Miles Morales: "Where money is king, you'll find great tunes, hanging among the lights."

(Upon putting it down.)
Jefferson Davis (recording): Had to practically drag you and Phin to the Modern Art Museum the first time we came. "What do we care about splotchy paintings?" But your mom and I knew: we had to show you kids there were different ways of looking at the world. Sometimes radically different. When I saw you two in front of that psychedelic Angela Davis portrait, heads craned up in awe, I knew you got it. All that orange and gold, don't think you ever realized the world could look that way. That you could look that way. Like... royalty. Proud of you making it this far. Let's see how you do with the next one.

Miles Morales: Phin and I talked about that trip for months afterwards. Mom and dad really knew how to inspire.

(Upon arriving at C.O.D.B.'s.)
Miles Morales: Aight, C.O.D.B.'s. Let's hunt. "Hanging among the lights..." Hm. Maybe it's between the lights and that speaker...

(Upon finding the fifth postcard.)
Miles Morales: Lobster Bill's! Dad's favorite restaurant.

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
On-screen: Nestled beneath Stuyvesant lives a monster of a good meal.

Miles Morales: "Nestled beneath Stuyvesant lives a monster of a good meal."

(Upon putting it down.)
Jefferson Davis (recording): Spent half my youth at C.O.D.B.'s. Every musician we loved played at this cramped little stage. Aaron even got up there once himself; didn't do half bad either. When he finally told me about his... night job... this is where he took me. To soften the blow. But it poisoned the place for me. Never took you here because of it. I regret that. You'd love it, just like I did. So how 'bout this: find a show you wanna see, anything—my treat. We'll come out here, and your old man will show you how he used to bust a move. (chuckles) Next clue's all yours, Miles.

Miles Morales: Dad was gonna bring me a to a show... man, I need a minute after hearing that.

(Upon arriving at Lobster Bill's.)
Miles Morales: Lobster Bill's. Holy ground for dad. "Nestled beneath Stuyvesant lives a monster of a good meal." Pretty sure I know which monster he means. Next clue must be on Bill the Lobster. Guy is pretty monstrous.

(Upon finding the sixth postcard.)
Miles Morales: I know this place! The Artspace on the Upper East Side.

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
On-screen: No letter enters this artsy castle without stopping at the gate.

Miles Morales: "No letter enters this artsy castle without stopping at the gate."

(Upon putting it down.)
Jefferson Davis (recording): Hoo boy. Lobster Bill's. Home away from home. Always reminded me of your gram's kitchen down south. Took your mom here on our first date, and just about every date after that. Even once she was pregnant with you... and she went into labor right before dessert. I blame the Cajun shrimp. She was less of a fan after that. But, I'm not gonna lie son: some of those nights working late? Oh yeah. I'm stoppin' in for some fried okra. Don't tell your mom.

Miles Morales: Mom totally knew he was stopping here. "Let him have his secret." They were a good team...

(Upon arriving at the Artspace.)
Miles Morales: There's the Artspace. Okay... "No letter enters this artsy castle without stopping at the gate." Should check the gates around the building...

(Upon finding the seventh postcard.)
Miles Morales: Next clue! Nice! C.J. Walker Park! I know this place: up in Harlem.

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
On-screen: Beneath the hoop where you learned to fly, your journey comes to an end...

Miles Morales: "Beneath the hoop where you learned to fly, your journey comes to an end..." Man... Not ready for this to be over.

(Upon putting it down.)
Jefferson Davis (recording): Middle school graduation. You and Phin joked it felt like a royal coronation when you saw the Artspace building. Your mom and I were so proud. Our son and our almost-daughter, graduating at the top of their class. I know it made you sad, both of you, to go to different high schools, but Miles, I'll tel you: the friendships you make when you're young, the eal ones? Those last. You and Phin will find each other again. Maybe a few years down the line, maybe a few decades. One clue left. Bet you can't wait to get to the end. One can't wait to get going and I did want each other again.

Miles Morales: Phin and I did find each other again... just not the way dad thought...

(Upon arriving at C.J. Walker Park.)
Miles Morales: This is it: C.J. Walker Park. "Beneath the hoop where you learned to fly, your journey comes to an end..."

(Upon finding the eight postcard.)
Miles Morales: This is the last one... man... so many memories.

Jefferson Davis (recording): And so we come to the end—C.J. Walker Park. Remember when we played ball here in the summers? Your uncle showed you how to take it to the rack, while I demonstrated how to throw it down with authority. Don't think I'll ever forget watching you and Phin trying to alley-oop to your mom. This place reminds me that as crazy as life gets, only one thing really matters: the people you love. You, your mom, Phin, Ganke... even your uncle. Keep the folks you care about close to your heart, and you'll never go wrong. Happy birthday, big man. You are my reason for being brave.

Miles Morales: Oh man... I was not ready for that.

(Upon turning the postcard over.)
On-screen: Happy birthday, Miles! Congratulations. You made it to the end! You are the reason that I'm brave. Love, Dad

Miles Morales:

(Upon putting it down.)
Rio Morales (phone): Hey Miles, what's up?

Miles Morales: Hey mom. Just finished the scavenger hunt. Thank you so much for putting it together. For a little while it was like... he was back.

Rio Morales (phone): He never left, mijo (darling). I love you.

Miles Morales: I love you, ma'.

Miles Morales: Gotta check this place with Ganke sometime. Smells mad good.

JJJ Archives[]

Rhino Rant[]

J. Jonah Jameson: They tried. They tried to silence me. Tried to kill me! Who? Whoever engineered Rhino's escape and sent him careening through my studio—right in the middle of recording my charity Christmas special! Think of the children! And think of me! Because J. Jonah Jameson refuses to be silenced. So in my tireless mission to bring you Just the Facts, I'm holding my nose and broadcasting from my producer Jared's disgusting hovel of a studio apartment that he shares with—how many others? Five? Good Lord Jared, when I was your age I owned a two-bedroom on the Upper West Side. Your generation, (laughs) I swear. (laughs) Anyway, if you are wondering who arranged Rhino's escape, and pointed him right in your favorite truth speaker, witnesses on the ground are saying both Spider-Men showed up at the exact moment Rhino broke free. Coincidence? I think not!

Roxxon Plaza Caller[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Ho, ho, ho! We've got our first caller coming down the chimney. You're live and festive on Just the Facts with J. Jonah Jameson!

Caller: Season's greetings, Jonah! I just want to get your thoughts on Roxxon's new development in Harlem. Great for jobs, or just wiping out small businesses?

J. Jonah Jameson: So glad you asked, called: without question Roxxon Plaza is American ingenuity at its finest. Green energy for the tree huggers, groundbreaking new tech for Wall Street, and jobs for the locals! Look, we faced a terrible tragedy with last year's Devil's Breath crisis. It's taken time to rebuild. But Roxxon stepped up to the plate: invested millions creating a state-of-the-art facility in a neighborhood that, uh, let's face it—wasn't exactly booming. The way I see it, Roxxon Plaza's a Christmas gift for the people of Harlem, and all of New York! I understand some folks fear change, but it's a good thing. Take it from J. Jonah Jameson. Jared! Not three sugars! Not one sugar! Two sugars! For forty years it's been two sugars! Never do this to me again!

Harlem Subway[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Now I know many of you "brushheads" love to listen to the show on your subway commute. I personally do my best to avoid setting foot in those feces-infested death tubes, but Jared informs me that a major outage recently stopped all trains going through Harlem! I'm happy to report that service to the area has since been fully restored, but it should come as no surprise to learn that the new Spider-Man was seen futzing with transit authority equipment during the outage. Now I can already hear the zealots among you whining through your phones, "but Jonah, obviously Spider-Man fixed the problem! Bluh-blah bluh-blah bluh-blah." Let's just stop right there and unpack that: why would a guy who can swing through the skies and ignore Manhattan gridlock entirely need to even think about what's going on with the subway? If you just follow the threads, they take you right to the inevitable destination... the corner of Spider-Man Street and Menace Avenue!

Just The Facts[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Merry Christmas. Despite Spider-Man and his sidekick's best to come to ruin the holidays. I'm here to unwrap the best present you'll get all day: me, J Jonah Jameson. Now isn't that better than an overweight septuagenarian breaking into your home? Caller lines are open, so dial in and spend the Yuletide with Santa Jonah, ho ho ho, as I sip on this hot cho—wait a minute. Jared, where are my marshmallows? Out? How could they be out? (sigh) Friends, the War on Christmas is brutal and relentless... but we soldier on. Call now.

Bridge Collapse[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Folks, here we are again. A major disaster in our city. Explosions, a bridge collapse, weapons discharged amid rush-hour traffic. Thank heaven no lives were lost, but we can't be that lucky every time. What if this attack had happened a few days later, during the so called "Storm of the Century" the five o'clock news won't stop jabbering about? From disaster to bedlam in a snap. Now there's plenty of blame to go around, including to these Underground thugs. That being said: it'd be a dereliction of my duty if I didn't point out that the Underground's attack was little more than an armored car heist until Spider-Man's bratty little sidekick showed up and try to "handle" things all on his own. What happened next? He made things worse! This new kid wants to be Spider-Man? Well he sure is living up to the name! Speaking of which, anyone notice that the original Spider-Man hasn't been seen lately? I think I know why. He's like the parent pretending that the kid melting down in the cereal aisle isn't theirs. But we know the apple doesn't fall far from the web! We know it! You're the apple. Spider-Man!

Disappointed Parent[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Friends, today I'm gonna have to be the disappointed parent. Not because of Jared. He's actually doing a fine job for a change. No, I'm disappointed that once again some of you have allowed yourself to be convinced that it's okay for a complete stranger with zero legal authority to parade around in a Halloween costume, pretending to be some kind of savior. And once again, that misplaced faith has resulted in an unimaginable disaster. The truth is, it doesn't matter if you think Spider-Man is good; it doesn't even matter if he thinks he's good. What matters is, that every time something gets destroyed in this city, he's there. Or now, his protégé is. Ask yourselves :with all these crises we faced. Can we really afford to deal with twice as many? And where will it all end?! Spider-Woman? Spider-Punk? Spider-Pig? Oh, while I vomited that thought, enjoy these important messages from our fine sponsors. Oh!

Krieger Interview[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Today I have the honor of welcoming Roxxon Energy's head of R&D, Simon Krieger. Mr. Krieger, you've been out promoting the benefits of your "Nuform" reactors, the first of which is set to open in Harlem soon. Yet you've had some critics.

Simon Krieger: Hmm. Well, first off, Jonah, let me say what an honor and a pleasure it is to be on your show.

J. Jonah Jameson: Oh, well, I'm blushing.

Simon Krieger: And yeah, you're right, we've had some resistance, most notably from Rio Morales, who uh, looks to be a new city council member in the upcoming special election. And I have a—I have a lot of respect for Ms. Morales; she's smart, she's a great role model for young women—but, I think she's putting her energy in the wrong place. Our Nuform reactors will make this a better city, a better home for New Yorkers. But I—I... I guess some people just have a hard time with change.

J. Jonah Jameson: Let me give you some advice, one highly successful man to another. You know what I like to say to my critics? (beep) you and the horse your rode in on!

Simon Krieger: (laughs) Well, okay, I—I uh... I admire your conviction. You're a...—You're a man who is not afraid to pay a fine in order to make your point.

J. Jonah Jameson: Fine? What do you mean? Jared? How much? (beep) Do you editing thing, quick!

Fisk Tower[]

J. Jonah Jameson: You all remember Wilson Fisk, don't you? The so called "Kingpin of Crime"? I'm told he's getting five-star treatment in his cell—which is nicer than Jared's apartment—while his shark lawyers appeal his conviction. But it seems there may be some justice in the world after all, because a new Daily Bugle exposé reveals that his now-dilapidated Fisk Tower—which is scheduled for demolition in the new year—has been taken over by squatters. And isn't it just perfect karma that this garish monument to the ego of a guy who always felt he was above the law has been overrun by a bunch of freeloading bums? Next thing you know, Spider-Man'll turn the joint into his personal headquarters. So how does it feel to be hoisted on your own petard, Wilson? No, Jared, that is not an obscenity. Read a book!

Tinkerer Chase Aftermath[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Stop me if you've heard this before: "Spider-Man chases villain through city, millions of dollars of property damage follow." We're still tallying up the damage from Rhino's rampage, then the bridge disaster. And now it seems the junior menace decided to go over the hat trick with his new "frenemy" the Tinkerer. I say those two should get a room, preferably a prison cell, and hash out their differences in private somewhere very, very far from New York. And I don't just mean Jersey, I'm talking Oregon or even Alaska! Then maybe I could have one peaceful night at home, watching the Great Wakandan Cook-Ooff without getting interrupted by my fire escape being torn off the side of my building! Darn it, that reminds me..., Jared, did you set my DVR?!

Trinity Church[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Batten down the hatches, folks. The long presaged "Storm of the Century"—one heck of a blizzard—is blowing in. Make sure you're stocked up on supplies. My loyal listeners will already have plenty of Jameson's Jerky, guaranteed to last longer than radioactive fallout! Meanwhile, if you're planning on kicking the in-laws to visit Trinity Church, I've got some bad news: parts of this sacred local landmark are now rubble following yet another skirmish involving Spider-Man and the Tinkerer. Thankfully, Roxxon was able to secure the scene quickly. The current whereabouts of either masked menace are unclear, but right now that's secondary to the fact that Roxxon has generously offered to pick up the cost of Trinity's restoration, even though the damage was caused through no fault of their own. That's the kind of selfless giving we need more of this time of year, folks! Roxxon just made my "nice" list. I'll give you three guesses who's on the "naughty" list. And they all start with "Spider!" And end in "Man!"

Mea Culpa[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Listeners, you all know that I pride myself on truth, integrity, and facts. I've been tough on this new Spider-Man since the disaster on Braithwaite Bridge—for good reason! The kid screwed things up so bad, even the original model would've blushed rather than his costume... the classic one, not that ugly new thing. But today, I must also acknowledge that the city is rallying around this youngster and proclaiming him... (groans) a hero. (sighs) With an unstable energy source on the verge of wiping Harlem off the map, this youthful Spider-Man reportedly stepped in and saved lives. Or at least that's what his supporters want us to think. The real truth is that none of this would have happened if he hadn't donned a ridiculous suit and started swinging willy-nilly around the city performing reckless acts of violence! Hero? More like zero! Hah! Jared, open up the lines, I want to hear from those who agree with me. Jared, I said open up the lines! What do you mean, they're open? Well something must be wrong! Folks, we're having technical difficulties. Please stand by.

Special Guest Rio Morales[]

J. Jonah Jameson: On this very special episode, I'm joined by newly elected Councilwoman Rio Morales of Harlem, who has been instrumental in the effort to scale back Roxxon's expansion plans following the revelations that they endangered New Yorkers with their highly unstable energy source, Nuform. Welcome, Councilwoman.

Rio Morales: Thanks for having me, Mr. Jameson. I have to say I was surprised when you reached out to my office—

J. Jonah Jameson: My producer Jared was insistent that we have you on. Something about needing to broaden our demographics, especially after your a recent appearance on another, much less popular show.

Rio Morales: Oh yeah, Danica Hart was wonder—

J. Jonah Jameson: My listeners would like to know, how do you plan to bring prosperity to your community? I think I speak for everyone when I say it's an area that has struggled for quite some time.

Rio Morales: True prosperity isn't brought in from outside by huge, faceless corporations. It comes from sustained investment in the people that make our community so special. It's true that folks here have struggled, but that's only because they've lacked advocates in City Hall. I will be their voice. And my hope is with that suppor, the city and the world will see that we're a vibrant area full of brilliant artists, kind people, and now even our very own Spider-Man!

J. Jonah Jameson: About that. You are now a publicly elected official. You are obligated to serve according to a constitution, laws, and time-tested ethical requirements, wich I'm sure you respect. How can you reconcile that responsibility with your support of a vigilante who isn't bound by any of the same safeguards?

Rio Morales: Spider-Man is not our enemy. He's a New Yorker like the rest of us, and he's just trying to do what's right. And if you ask me, he couldn't be doing a better job. That doesn't replace my obligations to my community, nor anyone else's who serves in a public role. But I do sleep easier every night knowing that he's out there, helping us all pick up the slack.

J. Jonah Jameson: I'm happy to spend all day arguing why that sleep could easily become a nightmare, but we're out of time, and your approval polls are very high. So I'll just say thank you, Councilwoman. Jared will be sending you some lovely parting gifts, including my J. Jonah Java, the decaf substitute doctors like mine are insisting their patients of a certain age drink. If you down it fast, you almost believe it's real coffee! Jameson out.

Bienvenidos Camila[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Friends, small businesses are the backbone of America, and they have no greater champion than J. Jonah Jameson. But they have an enemy, too: Spider-Man. Apparently he's been disrupting their supply chains in Harlem. Here to tell us about it is the proprietor of local restaurant Pana Fuerte. Bienvenidos, Camila!

Camila: Ehh—And gracias, Señor Jameson, but there's been a misunderstanding. Spider-Man stopped the punks who were robbing us. I think your producer got confused. He kept wanting to talk to me in Spanish, don't ask me why.

J. Jonah Jameson: (groans) Jared is taking a course. Which he's clearly gonna fail. But having a Spider-Man in your neighborhood, fighting criminals in the streets—that can't be good for business?

Camila: Actually it's great. We've got tourists coming in hoping to see him. And when something gets damaged, my husband fixes it. His name's Jesus, he's a contractor. His business is called "Ya'll need Jesus." Anything gets messed up, he's your guy.

J. Jonah Jameson: Thank you, madam. I think we can all us Jesus right about now. Especially Jared, as soon as we cut to commercial... I said cut to commercial! Take your medicine like a man!

F.E.A.S.T. Pipes[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Folks, the F.E.A.S.T. Centers have had a rough go ever since their founder, Martin Li, turned out to be the mad bomber known as Mister Negative. But I believe in the F.E.A.S.T. Centers, because I knew May Parker, the brave woman who literally gave her life to keep them going. So I was distressed to hear the Harlem branch recently suffered a damaging flood. With us is Gloria, director of that Center.

Gloria Davila: Yeah, thanks. Anyone who wants to donate to the cleanup, check out our website, it's tax deductible.

J. Jonah Jameson: Wonderful! I'm donating 10% of my paycheck for this week. And half of Jared's. Now, I'm hearing Spider-Man may have been responsible for the flood?

Gloria Davila: No way! Someone was responsible, but it wasn't Spider-Man. Follow the money, who benefits from lower property values?

J. Jonah Jameson: And I'm going to stop you there because we have a strict policy of not saying anything that will get me sued. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure Spider-Man can't afford lawyers.

Gloria Davila: It wasn't Spider-Man!

J. Jonah Jameson: We're out of time! Thanks so much for joining us, Gloria. And remember, everyone, if you want to be a real hero, not like a certain masked menace, donate to F.E.A.S.T. Jared cut her mic before I end up in the poorhouse!

Conspiracy Theories[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Today I want to address some rumors making the rounds at the pool halls and sleazy bars: supposedly Wilson Fisk has been trying to destabilize Harlem in order to make it cheaper and easier for him to acquire properties. All from behind bars! Now, you all know my distaste for conspiracy theories. If there's proof, I will be the first to condemn malfeasance. But until that happens, it is poisonous, irresponsible, and wrong to repeat such baseless and inflammatory claims. That's the kind of behavior I'd expect from someone like Spider-Man, who several people have told me enjoys a destabilized neighborhood himself, because it creates more crime, and thus more opportunities for him to make himself look good. So let's be careful what we say and stick to the facts, okay, people?

Breaking and Entering[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Folks, I've heard differing opinions from my discerning listeners about Roxxon's security force. On the one hand, this is fair, there are some of the same concerns I have about Spider-Man: these are not law enforcement officers, and do not answer to the same standards. On the other hand, Roxxon has every right to protect its property and interests. And many of the skirmishes people are concerned about started because Spider-Man broke and entered into Roxxon's places of business! Now, I'm told these incidents have died down., but I ask you: if a stranger in a skintight suit burst into your bedroom at night, what would you do? No—no wait—that was rhetorical! Jared, shut down the comments! You people are sick!

Aftermath[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Good news, friends. My sources say Underground activity has subsided significantly, and the Tinkerer is officially presumed dead. We survived the "Storm of the Century" and our wounds are healing... but New Yorkers must remain ever-vigilant! This is the greatest city on Earth, which means there will always be lunatics trying to make a name for themselves by disrupting the tranquility of our daily lives. One minute you're washing down a delicious everything bagel with a fresh cup of Pana Fuerte coffee... the next minute, not one, but two masked menaces run by your window and you'll discover the hard way that scalding hot is great in the cup, but agony in your pants! Well, I for one, pledge to continue rallying the public against such crises, and anything worse that may yet come. After much reflection and serenity training, I am able to accept that there are now two... (vomits) two Spider-Men, but the rest assured I will continue holding them to the highest standard—and will be the first to call them out when they come up short! Which they will. Often. That is my promise to you. And this is J. Jonah Jameson, signing off... until next time.

The Season's Hottest Gift[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Some disturbing news has just crossed my desk. Spider-Man was recently involved in a nauseating act of depravity—stealing toys from children. Is there anything lower than that? Why, yes there is, my faithful flock. Do you know what was found in this stolen stash? Spider-Man toys! Not only does he steal from children, he bullies them into playing with toys they probably don't even want! The nerve! The Audacity! Which is why I'm announcing a new venture for the "Just the Facts" team—J. Jonah Jameson action figures! I have a prototype right here in front of me, and let me tell you, this is one handsome toy. Oh my goodness, what a specimen. Any self-respecting child—or adult, I won't judge—would be lucky to get their hands on this masterpiece! In fact... Jared, order ten for me, and ten for my wife. Get one for yourself too—it'll come out here next paycheck. You're welcome.

Crimes Against Nature[]

J. Jonah Jameson: Listen up people, I finally have scientific proof that Spider-Man is a crime against nature. Allow me to explain. A recent incident involving a construction crane, and a tiny bit of ice turned into a Spider-snafu when the masked menace decided to intervene. The result? A disaster the likes of which this city has never seen! We have yet to receive a body count, but I can assure you it will be—what's that? (clears throat) I'm being told no lives were lost, thank heavens, but the number of injured is likely significant, we're still awaiting word from local hospitals on just how many—seriously? (groans) I'm now being told there were no injuries. However! This doesn't change the fact that this tragedy could have been avoided if Spider-Man had just let nature take its course. Jared! Get me new fact-checkers! I know they're your roommates, get me new ones! Get rid of the one with the beanie!

The Danikast Archives[]

Why I Cast[]

Danika Hart: Hey friends, thank you so much for telling people about this podcast. We've jumped the charts from 136 to 87! Like, uh, wow! (laughs) Okay, okay, moving on. Today I'm doing a quick cast before I head downtown for my citizenship test, and I'm answering fan DMs! First one. Where ya from Danika? Well, I was born in Fuzhou, China, but we came to New York when I was six. Next question, what kind of mic do you use? Uhh, a purple one? I'm just kidding; the link's on my blog. Uh, okay, question three: what's the point of your podcast? Okay, so, once a week I get coffee with my friend, a journalist-turned-lobbyist. We talk about the news, and while we don't always agree, having to defend what I think makes me prep better. It keeps me informed and gives me a chance to revise my gut reactions. So I thought, what if everybody had that friend? What if I could be that friend for them? That's why I'm here. Oo, and I should head to the subway. Thanks for listening, and remember that being overly familiar on social media is not cool! Okay, bye!

Prison Break[]

Danika Hart: Hello! This is the Danikast with Danika Hart, where we talk about the news without screaming at clouds. Let's start with the most obvious news: prison break! Wait, that's not the right tone; let me try again. Prison Break. Okay, so, police were transferring prisoners back to the Raft; they tried to break out; the Spider-Men stopped them. We all know that much, but here's something weird, okay? Police say Aleksei Sytsevich, AKA Rhino, has been transferred to a "more secure, privatized form of work-release." Uh, what the heck does that mean? No one will say, so I'm gonna to keep digging. Although if it means Rhino is being held somewhere more secure than the R, I guess that's good news. 'Til next time, if you're walking on a busy sidewalk, step to the side if you're staring at your phone or need to slow down. Or I will run you over! Heheh, just kidding. Mostly. Okay, bye!

Who Are The Underground?[]

Danika Hart: Hey, Danikast fans. Give me your story that you just can't get out of your head? Maybe it's a scene from a movie, a headline you read on the back of someone else's newspaper, or your friends play-by-play of a no-good, very bad date. Well, for me, that story is the Underground. Who are they? What do they want? What's infuriating is that the question is so simple, but it seems impossible to answer. They steal, hurt, kidnap, and harass. They hit businesses and crime families alike. They have next-level technology and a grudge against everyone. (sighs) I'm going to keep looking into them, and if you have a tip, please send it my way. Until next time, remember not to put your coffee grounds in the garbage disposal, or they'll clog up your drain, like real bad. Okay, bye!

Roxxon History 101[]

Danika Hart: Hey, Danikasters! A lot of you have questions about Roxxon, such as: "Who are they?" and, "Why do they suck so much?" So, let me give you a quick-rundown. Simon Krieger took over after inventing "Nuform," Roxxon's super-secret fuel source. He shifted the company's focus to power, and now he's trying to build Nuform reactors around the city, starting in Harlem. Caught up? Cool. Now, here's the problem. Nuform has not been vetted by anyone. No government agency, no council of medical professionals, nada, zilch. Roxxon claims Nuform is a "corporate secret" and doesn't wanna give up the goods for review. Well, uh, too bad buddy? People need to know it's safe before they put it in their lightbulbs. Have more questions? DM me, and 'til next time, remember to drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water per day to keep you nice and hydrated. 'Kay, bye!

Rio Morales Interview[]

Danika Hart: Hello friends, and welcome to the Danikast. You may have heard that I endorsed candidate Rio Morales for City Council in the special election. So today I'm interviewing her@ For real! Thank you for being on, Ms. Morales!

TRio Morales: Thank you for inviting me! I absolutely love your show!

Danika Hart: Aw, thanks! So, you're running against the incumbent in your district? How do you think you can do better?

Rio Morales: Unlike my opponent, I live in the districts, and I listened to the people who call it home. I want Harlem to be as vibrant and safe as it was while I was growing up here. Roxxon Plaza was built on the current leadership's watch; that alone should make anyone think twice about voting for him.

Danika Hart: We agree on that. Switching gears a bit: you're a full-time science teacher. What made you want to jump into politics?

Rio Morales: It's really about loving my home and wanting to fight for it. During Martin Li's attack on City Hall, my husband gave his life to protect others. I want to honor his memory by fighting for my neighbors and friends, the best way I know how.

Danika Hart: Good luck in the polls, and thank you for being on the show. Danifans, you can join an AMA with Candidate Morales on my blog for the next hour. Until next time, remember to set one minute per hour aside for deep, meditative breathing. Helps you clear your head. Okay, bye!

The Real Underground[]

Danika Hart: Hey all, we're going to be a little bit more serious today. If you were hurt in the Underground's attack on Roxxon Plaza, physically or emotionally, please, please get help. There's a list of resources on my blog. Switching topics: I'm pulling together an exposé on the Underground, and I need your help. If you have any information you can share, it could help us shine a light on a group that needs to be taken down. 'Til next time, stay safe, and remember your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Goodbye.

Storm Of The Century[]

Danika Hart: Hey, my buds, my dudes, my gal pals. As if New York wasn't exciting enough during the holidays, there is now a tropical storm-slash-hurricane creeping its way up the coast. Oh yeah, just like that movie where the boat gets flipped over by a big wave. You know? Oh! Sorry, spoilers. Anyway, if this storm hits, a lot of people are gonna need help. So now's a great time to donate to your local shelter. 'Til next time, remember to check your credit score annually. You get one free report per year, so be responsible! G'Bye!

Jameson Wants To Debate Me![]

Danika Hart: Hey, friends. Apparently Mr. Jameson heard that I'm, and I am quoting his producer here, "a Spider-Man stan." So, now he's demanding I debate him. Jameson is a trained debater, and he's an accomplished journalist. So, even if I'm right, that doesn't mean I can win. Sometimes, it's not about the truth. It's about being the one who talks the most. Or the loudest. But look, this debate is going to happen. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't try. And, hey, maybe we'll all learn something. Next week, I'll post an edited version of the debate with Triple-J, with the full transcript on my blog. But until then, remember to invest in blue-light filters if screens give you headaches. Bye!

Debate Day with JJJ[]

Danika Hart: Hello, friends. This is the Danikast with our debate—

Jonah J. Jameson: That's your intro? Lame! We in the business call that "burying the lede." Hype it up! Let me ask you something, "Dani," do you ever think about what you're inciting? About your journalistic integrity?

Danika Hart: More than some.

Jonah J. Jameson: Because your campaign against Roxxon is baffling to an actual journalist like myself. You should be attacking the young, unproved vigilante who keeps causing problems in Harlem!

Danika Hart: What?! You=you twist everything Spider-Man does into something malicious, while simultaneously excusing everything Roxxon does wrong! All Spider-Man needs for you to support him is to get a better PR department!

Jonah J. Jameson: Uh-uh, uh-uh-, uh-uh. The only problem Spider-Man fixes are the ones he causes! I won't praise the arsonist for putting out his fire. Meanwhile, Roxxon built a beautiful Plaza in a failing neighborhood!

Danika Hart: By tearing down homes and businesses! Our new Spider-Man is proving that Harlem isn't the failure Roxxon makes it out to be. And you, Mr. Jameson, for someone who claims to love New York, you sure do seem to hate New Yorkers.

Jonah J. Jameson: You are clearly emotionally young lady, so I'm invoking the mercy rule on this "debate." Jared, shut it down! And whose idea was it to debate a teenager? There are no good optics to destroying a child! Get the car. I need a hot stone massage!

Danika Hart: Hello? Hello? Uh, yeah, he's gone. Well, thanks for the debate that you demanded, Mr. Jameson. To everyone else, remember to stand up every half hour while working at a computer. Bye!

We're Doing Numbers?![]

Danika Hart: Hey, Danikast fans. Um, my debate with Triple-J did numbers. Like, vaulted the podcast up the chart to number three. Three! That is above Mr. Jameson himself. Hah! Someone recognized me at the deli today and asked about my citizenship application. Like, that's weird, right? (chuckles) It's weird. Okay, so I'm kind of wondering if maybe it's time to class up the pod a little. Y'know? Talk less about me, talk more about the issues, include some ads, appear in public wearing a blazer, that kind of thing. What do you think? My DMs are still open, so let me know. And until next time, don't talk to women wearing headphones, okay, please? They don't like it. Bye!

Come Together[]

Danika Hart: Hey all, this cast could get a little maudlin, so, um, instead, I'm gonna phrase it as a call-to-action. Things are bad in Harlem. The Underground, Roxxon, the Tinkerer: it's—it's all coming to a head, with the neighborhood caught in the middle. City Council Candidate Rio Morales is organizing a full evacuation to the Bronx. So please, if you're outside Harlem and can offer a room, a bed, a couch, anything, you could save a life. I know you're afraid. I am, too. But this is our time to come together as a community. We are strong enough to survive this. Today's advice is to hold your loved ones close. Goodbye, friends, and... good luck.

Updates Galore![]

Danika Hart: Hey all, it has been a good week for Harlem. Spider-Man stopped the Tinkerer. Rio Morales was elected to City Council. Roxxon Plaza is closed for good. And Simon Krieger is in jail! Boom, ha! Bonus: I passed my citizenship test with flying colors! Still love you, China, gonna miss your candy. Okay, back to business: in an attempt to save face, Roxxon's board released all of Kriegers personal documents. Memos, emails, real fun stuff. While I'm combing through those docs, and, uh, waiting to hear Triple-J eat crow on air, I'll be playing unreleased, pre-recorded casts. Fresh material coming in a few weeks, and in the meantime, remember to sing to your plants while you water them. Seriously, they love it. Okay, bye, see you soon!

It's The Danikast[]

Danika Hart: Hey all, I realized something today. Ew, kinda sounded like an after-school special, hah, but I'm gonna soldier on. Okay, here it is: you listen to this podcast because I'm running it. You're not looking for someone more buttoned-up, professional, older, with like eighteen million credentials. You want to hear from and talk to me about what's happening in our city. So, I won't be changing how I do things. No trying to class up the pod, no ads, no blazers. It's just me and you. And you know what? I think that's perfect. Thanks, friends. And 'til next time, don't become someone's "reply guy" on social media, okay? It's super annoying. G'bye!

Spider-Man Hearts Local Businesses[]

Danika Hart: Y'all, I want to say that it is a damn good thing we have the new Spider-Man. That's right, no censoring, that is how real we're getting. Recently, a woman from Harlem was kidnapped. Before the PDNY had even tracked her as missing, Spider-Man found her. Harlem's going through a rough patch since Roxxon moved in. I hope that having Spider-Man on their side gives them a little hope this holiday season. Listeners, give Spider-Man a shout-out for me on your favorite social, and donate to Rio Morales's campaign, if you're into saving the neighborhood from corporate takeover. And remember: clean your dryer filter after every load. Goodbye!

F.E.A.S.T. North Closed?![]

Danika Hart: Hey friends, some news. F.E.A.S.T. North, the satellite branch in Harlem, is shutting down. Details on why are spotty, but I've heard that a flood made the building unlivable. If you're able to donate money, time, blankets, or food, it would really help the people who will be displaced by this. Today's advice: lining your trash can with paper will help absorb spilled liquids. I suggest using one of J. Jonah Jameson's books. Okay, bye!

F.E.A.S.T. North Is Back![]

Danika Hart: Good news,friends, F.E.A.S.T. North is back on its feet! And guess who we have to think? That's right, the new Spider-Man. Y'all, what doesn't this guy do? Okay, if you have pictures of Spidey cleaning up F.E.A.S.T., send them my way, and I'll feature them on the blog. 'Til next time, remember that a ten-minute nap will give you the energy boost you need. (yawns) That we all need, actually. Mmkay, g'bye!

Harlem Rising[]

Danika Hart: Hey, Danifans. For the last few weeks Harlem has had a series of bad breaks. The attack on C.J. Walker Park, to name one. Spider-Man intervened to protect the neighborhood, but he didn't do it alone. I'm here with Ganke Lee, the Harlem local who helped Spider-Man save the neighborhood.

Ganke Lee: It felt really good to help people out. Even better when we found out Wilson Fisk was behind it. Shutting him down is a career highlight for me and Spider-Man.

Danika Hart: (laughs) I bet! How did you guys stumble on the conspiracy?

Ganke Lee: By talking to people in the neighborhood. They were all looking out for each other, which helped us look out for them. Teo, Caleb, Camila, Hailey, Stef, Gloria, if you're listening, thank you.

Ganke Lee: I checked with Wilson Fisk's parole officer, who confirmed the big guy is under tighter security and will likely get some time tacked onto his prison sentence. Ganke, and everyone in Harlem, thanks for looking out. 'Til next time, friends, remember to change your toothbrush every three months. Goodbye!

Underground Exposed: Get Off My Lawn![]

Danika Hart: Hey, pod listeners, this episode is part of my series: Underground Exposed. Spider-Man recently took down an Underground hideout in Greenwich, and we found evidence that the Underground went to war against the Maggia. Yes, that Maggia, the old-school crime family. Back then, there was no Tinkerer, and the Underground considered themselves a new class of criminal. The "young mafia," if you will. They wanted respect, so they went after the crime families. The conflict sputtered out when Hammerhead staged the full-on takeover of the Maggia, which indirectly saved the Underground. Thanks for that, Hammerhead, you jerk. 'Til next time, if you're trying to change your habits, limit yourself to one change per month so you can stick to it. G'bye!

Underground Exposed: Partners In Crime[]

Danika Hart: Hey, Danifans, you're tuning into my four—part series: Underground Exposed. While Spider-Man was shutting down the Underground's hideout in the Upper East Side, I found evidence of their days partnering with Tombstone's gang. Yep, you heard that right. They work together off and on, until an Underground killed one of Tombstone's people. Cue, violent feud. The Underground were horribly, hopelessly outgunned. Then Tombstone was hauled off to prison, and not long after, the Tinkerer became their new leader and supplier. You can find more details on my blog. 'Til next time, try to tackle your hardest work between two and three p.m. Seriously, you're at peak attention span then. Bye!

Underground Exposed: Bad Reputation[]

Danika Hart: Hey, friends, this is part of my series: Underground Exposed. I'm looking into who the Underground are and what they want, with the help of Spider-Man. I had to pinch myself when I said that. Okay! So, the Underground used to have a major grudge against the Inner Demons, and not for the reasons everyone else did. This was before the Tinkerer took over, and way before anyone knew who the Underground were. They wanted respect, street cred, I don't know whatever you wanna call it. So they went after the biggest, baddest jerks in town: the Inner Demons. At least, 'til Martin Li, the Demons' leader, went to prison. Then the Underground needed a new target. Enter, the Tinkerer, who pointed them at Roxxon. 'Til next time, make sure to get at least fifteen minutes of sunshine per day. Bye!
