Summary
It isn’t much later that he’s shifting his feet down a chilled sidewalk lit by the weariest streetlamp Peter Parker's ever seen. Peter looks up, bracing against the cold to examine it more closely. It reminds him of the historic cast-iron lamp posts he can sometimes find in New York. The light it casts is dim, barely lighting five feet. It flickers ever so often, dead bugs lining the bottom of the lamp.
Peter can’t help but feel a little sorry for it. He glances over, intent to continue, but in the faint light something catches his eye. Above leans an old building lined with chipped pillars. Stretched across the front is a tattered banner reading, ‘Thank You Gotham City!’
If anything, the banner makes him feel very unthankful. But that must be where he is, ‘Gotham City’. Place could use a laugh.
