Plot
At the sad yet hopeful home of FEAST, a massive number of workers and homeless people are either serving soup, eating, or slumped over and asleep on the many beds in FEAST's main hall as the night continues its course. At the back the building stands May Parker, who is serving her famous wheatcakes to the people, handing a tray to a scruffy-looking homeless man with a warm, almost motherly smile.


 * May Parker: "Hand these out to the people. Keep a few for yourself, okay?"
 * Homeless Man: "Thanks, Miss Parker. You're an angel."
 * May Parker: "No I'm not, I'm just doing what's right. Now, hurry on."

The man smiles and nods before heading out to serve the wheat cakes to everyone. In the meantime, May Parker begins making more wheat cakes, seeming to be almost at peace as she does. That is until she's snapped out of it by the sound of a scream. She rushes through the halls, finding a circle of people gathered around a hooded homeless man who is rocking back and forth being comforted by Randy Robertson, who is wearing the FEAST apron worn by volunteers. May approaches but keeps her distance.


 * May Parker: "What happened?"
 * Randy Robertson: "I don't know, he just started freaking out all of a sudden!"
 * May Parker: "Don't yell, it could set him off."
 * Randy Robertson: "Can you do something?"
 * May Parker: "Move out of the way, slowly."

Randy nods and slowly moves away from the man, who reaches out to him as if not wanting him to go. However, Randy's place is quickly taken by May, who crouches down and starts gently patting the man's back, his agonized whines turning into more relaxed, but heavy breathing.


 * May Parker: "You okay there?"

The man nods.


 * May Parker: "Good. Let's take that hood off, you don't need that on in here."

May tries to remove the hood but the man grabs it and makes an almost animalistic snarl, only to be immediately silenced by May smiling at him. Upon seeing her smile, the man removes his hood himself, revealing his oversized and deformed head.


 * May Parker: "(Examining him in shock) Good Lord..."

Randy suddenly tries to pull May away, horrified as if he has suddenly realized the man's identity.


 * Randy Robertson: "May, get away from that guy!"
 * May Parker: "What? Why?"
 * Randy Robertson: "That's Will Turner! He's a supervillain!"

Everyone gasps and starts whispering among themselves. May looks at Will, who is staring at the ground in shame.


 * May Parker: "...what did he do?"
 * Randy Robertson: "He absorbed people's minds with telekinesis or something! He killed a bunch of people before he got caught!"
 * Will Turner: "Didn't mean to..."

May's head turns back to Will.


 * Will Turner: "Needed to... do it... I'm sorry..."
 * May Parker: "...What do you mean you needed to do it?"
 * Randy Robertson: "He's fishing for sympathy."
 * Will Turner: "No... My... my brain... it... doesn't work... not unless I absorb... Need to absorb... or... it hurts..."

He trails off. May seems sympathetic towards Will and approaches him again, putting her hand on his shoulder. Randy repeatedly glances between the two, clearly still unsure about Will's presence. May turns to Randy, looking disappointed in him.


 * May Parker: "He's a homeless man and he's clearly sick. Whatever he did in his past doesn't matter, Randy."
 * Randy Robertson: "(Opens his mouth but quickly closes it again) ...Well, what are we gonna do with him?"
 * May Parker: "Come now, Randy. You and I both know who to take him to."

May and Randy stand with Will between them, his hood back up and his hands in his pockets. The pair have clearly just gotten done explaining something to a man in front of them who is sitting at a desk.


 * Randy Robertson: "...And, that's the story, Mr. Li."
 * May Parker: "You once told me that the point of FEAST was to help those in need. So... can you help this man?"

Li stares up at the three for a while before looking down at his desk and sighing. After a moment, he stands back up.


 * Martin Li: "I'll try. First though, I'll need to know what he actually wants to do with himself."
 * May Parker: "Is that okay, Will?"

Will glances over at May before nodding. May smiles.


 * May Parker: "Okay."
 * Martin Li: "It's a little personal, so you'll understand if I ask you to leave. Right?"
 * May Parker: "Of course, Mr. Li."

May and Randy both start walking away.


 * Will Turner: "Thank you, miss..."

May smiles and exits the room. Will smiles happily, only to immediately begin panicking when he feels a hand roughly placed on his shoulder. He turns and sees Martin Li has transformed into a photonegative version of himself.


 * Will Turner: "Wha--"
 * Mister Negative: "Don't struggle."

Mister Negative pulls Will towards him and presses his thumb against his forehead, the room around them transforming into a photonegative landscape accompanied by a strange sound. After a few seconds, the room turns back to normal and Will drops to his knees. Negative proceeds to climb on top of his own desk, sitting on it in a thoughtful pose with his legs crossed. Will looks up at him and starts rubbing his own deformed head, absolutely in shock.


 * Will Turner: "...It's gone. The pain... the pain is gone!"

Will smiles and gets up, happily going to hug Negative, only for Negative to get up and grab his head, using his strange abilities again which seem to put Will in even more pain than he was already in before.


 * Mister Negative: "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm your new boss..."
 * Will Turner: "What?!"
 * Mister Negative: "If what those two said is true, you can drain people's intelligence until they die. Is that right?"

Will groans and nods his head, the simple action a struggle for him.


 * Mister Negative: "And I just cured you of that. Correct?"

Will pauses for a long time before nodding again.


 * Mister Negative: "Then I'd like to ask for something in return."

He lets Will go, Will shaking his head to recover after that experience.


 * Mister Negative: "With a touch, I can take that cure of yours away. Now, listen to what I say from now on and never use my name with anyone unless given permission. Now, Mr. Turner... (Leans back on his desk with a snear) Are you ready to go from a nobody to a somebody...?"

Will stares at Negative in total horror and dread, clearly not wanting to know what he wants but unable to deny him of anything. Elsewhere at the same time, Peter Parker is seen entering an Italian restaurant somewhere in New York City. Upon inquiring the hosting staff concerning a table reserved under the name of Harold 'Harry' Osborn, he is led to a table on a far end of the restaurant, where the man himself is seen surveying the menu before spotting Peter and waving to him enthusiastically. Despite his legs being disabled due to the Menagerie's stunt in yesterday's raid on OsCorp, he keeps putting up a cheerful face. Peter and Harry share a laugh before the former takes a seat.
 * Harry Osborn: "Pete! Been a while, man! How's it going?"
 * Peter Parker: "(Approaching Harry and shaking his hand before embracing him) I'm doin' great, Harry! How about you?"
 * Harry Osborn: "(Smiling) A little bit shaken, to be honest, but I'm still alive, so that's amazing."


 * Peter Parker: "Nice joint you picked here. Is the food any good?"
 * Harry Osborn: "They're so tasty they'll take you to heaven on first bite, if you ask me."
 * Peter Parker: "Wow, you're really in love with this place, huh?"
 * Harry Osborn: "Try the lasagna, Pete. You won't regret it."
 * Peter Parker: "Heh. If you say so. (Takes some time to read through the menu, speaking with a more serious tone) Uh, everything going well?"
 * Harry Osborn: "I told you Pete, I'm doing fine. Yesterday put a dent on OsCorp's stock prices, but I'm alright."
