Suggested by johnmaximus

Miles arrives in Harlem, where he defeats Undeground and Roxxon. He finds Rio and Ganke. The reactor is activated. Prowler appears and tells Spider to go. They begin the evacuation, while Miles makes his way to the plaza, where he confronts Phin. She doesn't believe about the reactor being modified, and they start fighting. Krieger does a broadcast, where he taunts Tinkerer. They continue fighting, but Miles defeats her. The reactor causes the building to plummet, and Phin falls. Miles jumps in and saves her. Phin apologizes before they hit the ground. Even very injured, Miles wakes up and goes to the reactor. With difficulty, he manages to absorb the energy. Phin remembers his brother's last moments. She uses her programmable matter to carry Miles and take him to the sky, where Miles can safely release the stored energy. The released energy causes an explosion, killing Phin. Miles crashes into the Plaza, where Rio, Ganke, and the citizens arrive. Reporters show up, but the citizens of Harlem protect Miles' identity, allowing him to flee. Prowler turns himself in to the police, and delivers evidence of Roxxon's crimes, leading to Krieger's arrest. Miles goes to Trinity Church, where he leaves the science trophy won by him and Phin, paying his last respects to his best friend. Miles meets with Peter, and they go to fight crimes. In the post-credits scene, Norman tells Curt Connors that Harry has been in the container too long, and that it's time to release him.
