Summary

  Kasey and Raff steal a vehicle downtown, but a SIEGE officer hired by Stark-Fujikawa interrupts their victory, and "invites" Kasey to come back with him. Hikaru-sama persuades Kasey to help them find Spider-Man. At Alchemax, things are practically back to normal, but Stone admits that they will have to use plan B (plan A being the Aesir) to deal with Spider-Man.

  Gabriel tells Miguel he's known about his secret identity since Venture chased him. He will not divulge his knowledge, because "it'd ruin the fun." Duke Stratosphere gallops by to offer his thanks to Firelight. Miguel and Gabriel return to their own reality where Miggy makes sure Gabriel quits using the innuendoes referring to his "alter ego". Miguel then asks his brother to repair Lyla. Back at his apartment, Miguel cleans up the security droid mess. To himself, Miguel recalls the origin of Lyla: a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on his ex-girlfriend, Xina Kwan. Gabriel is not able to restore Lyla, and suggests Xina might be willing to help, if she's still not mad at Miguel.

  Xina finds Miguel floating in the pool, but manages to resuscitate him. Miguel refuses to admit that someone tried to drown him to Angela, but later he does to Xina. Further, Miguel won't allow Xina to help because he is simply afraid of what Kron might do to him.
