Set a few hours after my last story, Spidey is rescued by Sable International after washing up nearby. When the Sinister Six find out that he's still alive, Adrian Toomes, Mac Gargan and Herman Schulz are sent out to interrogate Peter's loved ones, having blackmailed the recovered Felicia Hardy into giving them his identity. During said interrogation, Toomes accidentally shoots and hospitalises Jean DeWolff. When Spidey finds out whilst recovering at a Sable base, Silvija Sablinova has her team prepare a new suit for him, but an attack on the base forces her team to send them both on a jet back to New York. Together, they attempt to stop the Sinister Six, ultimately being assisted by two of its members... This is based on stories such as Back in Black, Ends of the Earth and Insomniac's Silver Lining. Peter is horrified by the Six's systemic attack against his loved ones, attempting (but ultimately failing) to kill multiple members. Silvija takes a new role in attempting to reason with him like he did with her previously.
