Kaine, Peter Parker's clone, has run from New York after some "events" that transpired there. His plan is to take a bus from North Carolina to Texas and cross the border of Mexico and disappear forever. While he thinks about that, people start screaming and he starts to hear gunfire from a bank nearby.
He ignores it, and enters the bus. But something inside of him tells him this is his opportunity for a new beginning where he would not have to keep thinking about his imminent death, and could be the hero instead of the monster he has been.
He jumps out of the bus, and swings to the bank defeating the thieves and starting a new life, not as the monster that was Peter Parker's clone, but as the Scarlet Spider.

They both were separated and don't know about the other existence, being held in containment by Taiji Corp.
When they grew up, the feeling that there was something missing inside of them made them destroy the facility they were and found each other and realized that they were unstoppable together.

Dr. Strange (Stephen Strange) walks through Greenwich Village, thinking about the magic that it holds, when he sees "Notebooks" Joe, a man who has been documenting the history of the place. Joe has never shown a page of his work to anybody, and is always finding somebody who would let him spend the night while he completes his research.
Recently, he's been staying with Abby, an artist, who hired a detective to find about Joe's past. She tells him that Joe used to be an archeologist that worked in Africa before having a mental breakdown.
Doctor Strange takes a look on Joe's work and sees that is all gibberish. He believes that Joe has been asleep since his breakdown, and enters his dream. Inside his head, he sees a door guarded by Joe. Strange opens it and sees his future, a reunion with the Defenders.
Joe wakes up, snaps out of his dream, goes to the train station, and jumps in front of a train.
