INT. UNCLE AARON'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
TIME CUT: PETER'S POV -- he opens his eyes.
PETER (V.O.): What was that? Kid electrocuted me... with his hands?
Peter, so GROGGY, is tied to a punching bag. The punching bag is tied with many many many many ropes. And computer cords. Like a homemade spiderweb. Miles sits opposite him.
A FLASH OF SPIDER-SENSE. Peter realizes what Miles is.
PETER: You’re like me.
Miles puts up a tough front. He nearly pulls it off...
MILES: (tough voice) I got some questions.
Peter LUNGES erratically. Miles startles, frightened.
MILES: Why do you look like Peter Parker?
PETER: Because I am Peter Parker.
MILES: Then why aren’t you dead? Why is your hair different? Why are you older, why is your body... a different shape?
PETER: Pretty sure you just called me fat.
MILES: No, no you just--
PETER: Hey listen, you don't look so hot either kid. Most superheroes don't wear their own merch.
Miles looks at his outfit and frowns. Why is this dude throwing shade at him?
MILES: Are you a ghost?
PETER: No.
MILES: Are you a zombie?
PETER: Stop it.
MILES: Am I a zombie?
PETER: You’re not even close.
MILES: Are you from another dimension? (Peter is quiet) Like a parallel universe where things are like this universe but different? And you're Spider-Man in that universe? But somehow traveled to this universe, but you don’t know how?
PETER: Wow. That was really just a guess?
MILES: Well, we learned about it in physics.
PETER: Quantum theory.
MILES: (realizing) This is amazing. You can teach me just like Peter said he would--
PETER: Before he died.
MILES: Yeah, exactly.
PETER: Yeah, alright.
MILES: Look I made a promise to him.
PETER: Here’s lesson number one, kid. Don't watch the mouth. Watch the hands.
Peter holds up his UNTIED hands. Miles is flabbergasted. Peter stands up.
Before Miles can react, Peter leaps, kicks-spins the punching bag toward Miles, knocking him over HARD!
MILES: Peter, seriously--
Peter WEBS HIS MOUTH SHUT.
Peter BOUNDS to the window. Turns back... feeling guilty.
PETER: Trust me, kid, this'll all make you a better Spider-Man.
Peter LEAPS FROM THE WINDOW but his powers GLITCH, he FALLS. We hear him SCREAM, then hit the fire escape.
