Epilogue: End of the Beginning

The Negative Zone, Prison 42

To ensure a diabolical maniac like Norman Osborn never threatens the world again, he was locked up in Prison 42, a super maximum security prison for the most dangerous criminals in the Negative Zone, which is an antimatter alien dimension. In his cell, Osborn sits behind an impenetrable energy field while wearing an orange jumpsuit and an aura-genetic suppressor collar that inhibits his powers. He sits in his cell in silence, no doubt pondering on his revenge once he finds a way to break free. Until then, he's greeted by an enthusiastic guest that sounds painfully familiar.

"Yoohoo! Normie!"

Osborn scowls, turning his head to the person standing outside of his cell who happens to be his arch-nemesis, Spider-Man. "Sup. Been a while." Spidey enthusiastically mocks his imprisoned nemesis.

"What are you doing here?" Norman calmly asked, as he doesn't have time for games.

"Was helping the Avengers imprison Blaaster after he tried to destroy the city. Thought I'd check up on you before I leave. How's prison food doing ya?" Spidey quipped.

"You should've killed me." Norman replied stoically.

"That bad, huh?" Spidey quipped, mocking him about the prison food.

"You had the powers of a god, and yet you still let me live. You'll regret that." Osborn threatened calmly.

"Probably. But it's like I told you before, Norman. I'm just a man who wants to do what's right. And you have been a prisoner of your own selfish endeavors. You've brought this upon yourself." Spidey casually responded.

"Peter. You would have been my trusted heir. The universe could have been ours. Recreated into the perfect universe. New York. Vale. Either one could've been the capital of an Osborn empire." Osborn conversed, failing to persuade Peter to understand his cause.

"I like the universe just fine the way it is, Norman. You can't give us our future. We've got to fight for it ourselves. Or we won't treasure the world we've got. We'll take it for granted. Struggling. Really earning it. That's the only way to appreciate being alive. To create a better world." Spidey replied.

"Is that your best answer?" Osborn responded indifferently. "You're most definitely one of my creations. I've always been driven, but you pushed me on more than anyone ever could. I thank you, Peter, for being my enemy. You can have your gentle peace…and leisurely ROT in it!" He glared at his most worthy adversary.

"I'll do that. Goodbye, Norman." Spidey quipped, gesturing a simple wave to his cell before exiting the prison.

"Wow. Even in the most secured prison in the multiverse, that Osborn doesn't know when to quit." Human Torch remarks, sitting and chatting next to Spider-Man on top of the Empire State Building.

"If he breaks out again, I'll be there to stop him like always." Spidey said before standing up and overlooking the beautiful city, "Y'know, for so long, I've thought I never got any breaks. But now, after all I've been through, for once, I LIKE my life. I like myself. And for the first time ever, I wouldn't want to change anything about me." He smiled behind his mask.

Johnny scoffs with a smile, "You've grown into a real man, Spider-Man. The girls must've had an impact on ya. Can't blame you. They were pretty cute. Think you could hand me Weiss' phone number?"

"She'd probably kill me, but sure. Assuming you can win a race against my Extreme Gear." Spidey grabs ahold of his Extreme Gear that he left on the floor next to his feet.

"Heh. You're on! FLAME on!" Torch envelops himself in flames while accepting the challenge.

Torch immediately flies down the building just as Spider-Man hops atop of his Gear to catch up. The two best friends holler in joy while racing each other over the streets of the city. They fly pass a coffee shop, where they didn't spot Cinder Fall's little team hanging out at an outside table.

"Aw man. I want to ride on a hoverboard." Mercury Black complained after looking at Spidey's Extreme Gear.

"You'd probably trip on one halfway across a sidewalk." Emerald Sustrai joked, which annoys her partner. She turns to Cinder, who is wearing more casual wear while reading a Daily Bugle newspaper about Spider-Man. "Are we ready to go, Cinder?" She asked her boss.

Cinder puts down the newspaper and replies, "I believe so. I'll call Brock and ask if our new apartment is ready." She said, as the group gets up from their chairs and start walking along the sidewalk.

"I'm gonna enjoy living in this world. Alien invasions. Demigods. Definitely my type of dimension." Mercury quipped, revealing that Cinder's team have migrated to Earth to begin their new lives.

"Of course YOU would like this comicbook weirdness." Emerald scoffed.

"He's not the only one. I'm also looking forward living in this universe. Who knows what it has in store for us, or what we have in store for it." Cinder remarks with an ominous smile, as the group continue exploring their new home.

Meanwhile at Stokerstov, Transylvania…

Cinder's team isn't the only ones who migrated to Earth. Standing atop of a decrepit manor while overlooking the creepy land of Transylvania is Salem herself. She had moved her operations to this dimension for a new, mysterious purpose. The dark witch converses with herself, "Thanks to recent events, my original plan regarding the Relics were foiled thanks to Osborn. But this episode with him has truly opened my eyes. There are so many opportunities to be had on so many different worlds…"

With but a thought, she summons a purple ISO-8 crystal into her hand to stare at, "ISO-8…Cosmic Emeralds…That 'Venom' creature…This world is teetered to the brim with items that could lead to humanity's destruction. Rest easy, Avengers. Huntsmen. Spider-Man. You've earned it. But know once you have rested, I will be here waiting for you. And I can't wait to watch you all burn." Salem proclaimed with an ominous threat that could lead to the next dimensional disaster.
