They swing around the city. They swing past the World Trade Center where, on the WTC Tower A's rooftop crouches a creature not from this world. A creature far more advanced. The creature is in cloaking, somehow bending light to make himself invisible, but he can still be seen sort of. The alien watches the Spider-Men swing past, not knowing of any human like that. The Spider-Men see a cop-gang war suddenly breaking out below them, right by the World Trade Center towers. The creature looks down at all of the humans. He sees all of the humans' body heat signatures except for some that lay on the ground, who are all green, apparently dead. The Spider-Men land on their feet on the cops' side of the street. "What's going on here?!" asks Peter to a cop. "Oh, thank god you made it, Spider-Man. Who's this?" asks the cop, looking at John. "This is the Steel Spider, my partner," says Spidey. "Ok, a gang war broke out between us and the gang and now the gang wants some stuff. We said we'll get it but we're not. We sent a SWAT team into the building and they haven't reported back or come out yet," says the cop. The creature somehow gets into the building, not being seen because of it's cloaking device. After the cop says what's going on to the Spider-Men, two SWAT members fly off of the rooftop of the building, landing right in front of the cop and the Spider-Men. "We're goin in," says Peter. With that, the Spider-Men duck into the alley and start to scale the side of the building. Using their spider sense, the two dodge some bullets from the gang. They climb into an open window where the gang's headquarters is located at the top floor. Blood is everywhere. Some bodies hang. The Spider-Men look up and see the hanging bodies. Three of the bodies have on the SWAT gear, two are gang members and another three are skinned. The two make their way up to the rooftop where they suddenly see the alien creature, still in cloaking though. They stop in fear, not knowing what the thing is. And the creature looks at them then jumps away. "What the hell was that?! You did see it too, right?" asks John. "Yes, I did see it but I don't know what it is," says Peter. "Let's get to the mansion," says John. With that, they swing away. They arrive at the mansion and swing into an open window. The two run to Professor X's office. They run into the office. "Professor! You'll never guess what we saw! We seen this thing and it was like kinda tall and it was almost invisible but I can see these like four lines!" says John. "I'll have to check into it. Who are you?" says the professor to John. "I'm The Steel Spider," says John. "I'll get going. I'll be back tomorrow. Bye Steely. Bye Professor," says Peter as he runs off. Later that night, in the garage of the mansion, John is making modifications to his suit. John thinks about the thing he seen and wonders if he'll see it again. At Peter's apartment, Peter lays in his bed, also thinking about the creature.
