The NYPD are recovering the Hobgoblin's battle van from the Hudson River. Also on the scene is Spider-Man, who is taking pictures of the recovery operation for the Daily Bugle. Spider-Man recalls the battle that led to the battle van crashing into the Hudson and the apparent demise of the Hobgoblin. He also thinks about all the changes that have happened since that moment, particularly his time on Battleworld and his new costume that has strange abilities that he doesn't fully understand. Spider-Man decides to tag the battlewagon with a spider-tracer since he fears that it survived the plunge into the Hudson, perhaps the Hobgoblin survived as well. As the police load the van onto the back of a flatbed, an inconspicuous looking trucker observes the salvage and radios to his mysterious employer, telling him where the van is being taken.
