After the incident in London because of the late Stark Industries engineer Quentin Beck a.k.a. Mysterio, who revealed Peter Parker's identity to the world. Which ends up painting the picture of Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man looking like he was the one who killed Mysterio. Peter's life hasn't been subtle...

Peter got interrogated by the Department of Damage Control (DODC), but charges managed to get dropped by a certain blind lawyer from Hell's Kitchen. And Parker tried to get into colleges, but they all declined his admissions because he was still painted as the "bad guy" by Quentin Beck and J. Jonah Jameson.

PRESENT DAY, November 2024. 1 Year After Tony Stark's Sacrifice. The New York Sanctum, Dr. Strange & Wong's Base of Operations.

In 2024, the Rotunda of Gateways opened to Siberia during a blizzard, covering the Sanctum in snow. Strange advertised in The Daily Bugle for cleaners with ten years of experience, hiring two.

In November, Peter Parker visited the Sanctum. As he prepared to ring the doorbell, the doors opened to reveal the snowy interior. A young woman and man were shoveling snow when an Inter-Dimensional Portal opened, and Wong stepped through, greeting Parker. Wong explained the Rotunda incident when Parker asked if they were preparing for a holiday party.

Doctor Strange explained to Parker that Wong was now Sorcerer Supreme, as Strange had been dead for five years thanks to The Blip. Strange lit a fire and asked Parker why he visited. Parker explained that Mysterio revealing his identity had changed his life and asked if Strange could reverse it. Strange, hesitant due to the Time Heist, discussed with Wong about using the Runes of Kof-Kol, who had just left through a portal. Strange then began the spell, but it became unstable as Parker made requests for exceptions.
