Not On My Watch

**Roll Like We Used To** is the fourth main mission in *Marvel's Spider-Man 2*, originating in Astoria. Peter Parker meets with Mary Jane Watson at May Parker's old house and the two begin to reminisce about the past. Peter then finds himself joining an old friend on a daring escapade through his old school.

## Story

Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson meet in front of May Parker's house, where Peter is currently living. Peter breaks the news about his firing, and MJ reveals that she may also be losing her job soon, as she is pressured by her boss, J. Jonah Jameson, to write a front-page story in the next week or else. MJ brought a box full of her unsold books from her and Peter's visit to Symkaria. Peter and MJ enter the house full of unpacked boxes and storage. As MJ heads to the back to find a place for the books, Peter decides to clean up a bit. As Peter walks to the kitchen, he picks up a bill showing the unpaid mortgage of the house, explaining that Aunt May mortgaged the house to keep F.E.A.S.T. running, but he is now drowning in debt.

MJ asks Peter what's next, but he is unsure, and he is not ready to sell the house to cover his debt. Peter also refuses MJ's offer to cover the mortgage. Peter asks if MJ is ready to move in with him, but she exclaims that she needs to be closer to the city for her job, and Peter is barely home as it is due to being Spider-Man. MJ signals for Peter to come to the back room where she is, looking at some of Aunt May's old photo albums. Peter picks up a picture of a younger him labeled "Balance", which shows Peter awkwardly posing next to a hole in the wall of his old bedroom with eyes drawn above it. Peter decides to go upstairs to his old room to see if the hole is still there. Upon entering the room, Peter finds the hole behind a picture frame he had hung up to hide the hole.

A flashback occurs, which shows the exact moment the hole is made; a teenage Peter, then an inexperienced Spider-Man who had recently received his powers, had punched his wall out of frustration upon hearing angry tirades from Jameson and his audience about Spider-Man. The noise alerted May, who walked up to Peter's room. May spots the hole as Peter claims he heard a rat in the wall. May glances at Peter's computer monitor, noticing notifications of overdue assignments. May grabs a chair and explains to her nephew that in her earlier years, she realized she couldn't do everything on her own, and that balance is a process, not a destination. May picks up some markers and invites Peter to join her in drawing cartoon eyes above the hole. After hiding his Spider-Man mask in his desk when May wasn't looking, Peter accepts her invite and shows appreciation for her advice. The flashback ends, and Peter remembers the advice May gave him that day. Heading back downstairs, MJ reveals to him that she received news that high-risk prisoners are being moved from The Raft, and she is about to leave to find out who. Soon after she walks out the door, Peter hears her scream and rushes out to check on her, discovering their old friend, Harry Osborn, waiting outside for them.

Harry shares a warm reunion with his old friends, expressing his condolences to Peter for May's death. Harry also apologizes for the cover story given to them about his Oshtoran Syndrome, proclaiming that his illness is in remission after the treatment he received. MJ leaves for work and Harry invites Peter to go on a bike ride with him. Harry and Peter catch up as they ride their bikes into the city, eventually arriving at Midtown High, their old high school. Harry and Peter reminisce about a project they were working on, which Peter had a copy of stored into a USB drive in his locker, but the school denied them access after-hours to retrieve it. Harry and Peter walk up to a side door and open it to enter the school, as another flashback starts with a teenage Peter and Harry sneaking into the school through this same door to retrieve the USB drive.

Peter and Harry sneak through the corridor, coming across a janitor cleaning. The two distract him by pushing his cart into the room towards a cardboard cutout of the high school bully, Flash, who played football. The noise alerts the janitor which allows Peter and Harry to sneak by him. Upon arriving at the end of the corridor, Peter and Harry try to enter the two doors but are alerted by a security guard descending some stairs on the other side of the door. Harry and Peter are forced to split up, agreeing to rendezvous at the gym. The door alerts the security guard, and Peter runs through other doors, but accidentally breaks the handle. The security guard rushes to the door as Peter is forced to use his last web shooter shot to stick the handle back in. Peter jumps to the ceiling to avoid being caught. Peter remembers storing extra web-shooter fluid in the photo lab. Peter heads there by crawling on the ceiling and through air vents, thinking to himself that he should get better at managing his webs.

Peter arrives at the photo lab and after almost being caught by the security guard, manages to re-fill his web shooters. Peter decides to meet back with Harry and heads to the gym, crawling back into the air vent and encountering one of his backpacks (this is a funny easter egg referencing the backpack collectibles from the first Spider-Man game). Peter arrives back at the previous room and encounters the security guard, and he is forced to distract him by firing his web-shooter at balloons to pop them. After evading the guard, Peter crawls on the ceiling and encounters the janitor mopping the floor of a doorway he needs to get through. Peter distracts him by using his webs to knock a trash can on the ground, spilling the trash. Peter sneaks past as the janitor is forced to clean the mess. As Peter runs towards the gym, he and Harry run into each other.

Back in the present time, Harry and Peter enter the gym and decide to play a quick game of basketball. After the game, the flashback continues to where the two leave the gymnasium and cut through the courtyard to head to Peter's locker. The two encounter the security guard as he leaves the elevator, and Peter is forced to distract him by popping balloons inside the elevator. The two arrive at Peter's locker, where the scene abruptly reverts to the present, and Harry directs Peter to open his locker to reveal a surprise inside. The two are caught by a security guard and they make a run for it.

In the past, Peter secures the USB drive from his locker and the two return to the gym, where they are alerted by the security guard and police officers. Harry says he has an idea and runs off, and Peter is forced to jump on the ceiling, but drops the USB drive. The guard confiscates the USB drive and lets in the police offers to begin searching for the two boys. Peter is forced to distract the police officers and isolate the guard so he can drop from the ceiling and recover the USB drive from the guard's pocket. As Peter wonders how to sneak out of the gym, the guards are alerted by Harry singing Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" through the intercom, prompting the guards to head to the main office. With their mission complete, the two prepare to leave the school, but Norman Osborn arrives via helicopter, breaking the news to Harry of his mother succumbing to the Oshtoran Syndrome. Peter watches as Harry falls to the ground in despair.

Back at the present, it is revealed that Harry's surprise for Peter is an ID Badge, denoting him as the co-founder of the Emily-May Foundation, which is the culmination of the same project Harry and Peter were working on as boys, inspired by Harry's mother and Peter's aunt. Harry invites Peter to visit the lab.

Elsewhere, a convoy of choppers arrive in New York City, signaling the arrival of Kraven the Hunter and his soldiers. Kraven is informed of Flint Marko's capture, and laments that "he was not the one". Kraven orders his men to prepare for the transfer tomorrow, referring to the prisoner transfer at The Raft, and to not fail him again.

Meanwhile, Miles Morales procrastinates while attempting to write his college acceptance essay. He receives a call from Peter, requesting his help with the prisoner transfer at the Raft, which Miles immediately accepts. As he prepares to leave, Rio Morales informs him that she began dating, wanting her partner and Miles to meet each other, to which Miles accepts.

## Walkthrough

As soon as you enter the house and you gain control of Peter, approach the counter to find the bowl of moldy fruit. Pick it up with Triangle, and carry it over to the back of the kitchen to dispose of it in the garbage. Aside from the main objective, there are several interactions around the house which can trigger certain lines of dialogue. After a brief conversation with MJ, approach the kitchen table and pick up the empty food container, and again dispose of it in the trash.

When MJ calls you over, enter into the back room to the right of the kitchen and inspect the photo albums with her. After looking at the photo labeled "Balance", head upstairs and immediately turn around to the left and go through the open door at the end of the corridor. Inside your old bedroom, interact with the picture frame on the wall to reveal the hole you see in the photo. After the flashback, head back downstairs, and head outside after MJ leaves the house and she screams upon meeting with Harry. After reuniting with Harry and MJ leaves, Harry invites you to a bike ride. To control the bike, steer with the left analog stick and repeatedly press X to cycle. This is a relatively linear section so keep following Harry and eventually you will arrive at your destination, Midtown High.

As you gain control of young Peter, head down the corridor and open the door at the far end. To progress, you'll need to distract the janitor so approach his cart in the doorway and direct it at the cardboard cutout of the football player. Press Triangle to push the cart, and you can then sneak down the rest of the corridor. Follow Harry through the preceding corridors until you reach another set of doors leading to a stairway. A guard will descend the steps, forcing you and Harry to split up. As the guard pursues you, you'll jump to the ceiling. Crawl forward and then head through the open grate to the right, and then the open grate immediately to your left in the next room.

Once in the room with the two whiteboards, drop down by pressing Circle and wait for the guard to walk around the corner to sneak out of the open door. Walk towards and push open the partially open door ahead of you, and you'll be prompted to re-jump to the ceiling after alerting the guard. Do so immediately by charging and then releasing R2 + X to perform a Charge Jump. If done successfully, you'll reattach to the ceiling before the guard enters the room. Approach the section of ceiling above the standing ladder in the room and enter the vent above. Once inside the vent, head straight and drop down into the photo lab, which is emanating a red light. Inside the photo lab, there are several objects to interact with which will trigger dialogue. Head to the back left corner of the room and interact with the desk to find your web fluid supply. After refilling your web shooters, zip to the vent with L2 + R2 and then turn left towards the spinning fan. Fire your webs with R1 to stop the fan and crawl through the open gap.

Use L1 + R1 to pull open the grate at the far end. Drop down through the next grate and you'll be in a room with the guard. You can use R3 to scan for distractions, but the easiest course of action is to stay in cover, aim with L2 and fire a web with R1 at the balloons across the room. The guard will investigate the balloons popping, allowing you to walk out from behind cover and go through the open door on the left side of the room. Back out in the main hallway, jump to the ceiling again with R2 + X and then go through the open grate ahead of you. Now in the room with gym equipment, from the grate head left to find a closed grate you can open with L1 + R1, and after proceeding through it immediately turn right and round the corner to find the janitor blocking the doorway. Pull over the garbage can with L1 + R1, and as the janitor approaches it head as close to the doorway as you can and drop down with O. You'll then clumsily reunite with Harry and head into the gymnasium.

Back in the present day, you and Harry begin to shoot basketball hoops. To perform a basketball throw, you can either use the gyro controls to aim by tilting your controller, or use the left OR right analog stick to aim, and throw the ball with R2. You'll want to try to throw once the aiming arc has turned green. If the aiming arc is red, the shot will miss, but missing is of no consequence and the player can freely try again. After three shots, each from different angles, the flashback triggers again and as you leave the gymnasium, head directly across the courtyard to the illuminated open doors, and go up the stairs inside. Go down the hallway and go left, and as the security guard exits the elevator, immediately approach the tables in front of you to automatically crawl underneath them. Crawl forward while still underneath the tables, and use your web shooter to pop the balloons inside the elevator, prompting the guard to go back in the elevator and leave the floor. You are now free to leave the tables and approach Peter's locker, just to the left of the elevator.

The scene cuts back to the present then back to the past, as Harry leaves and Peter jumps to the ceiling to avoid being caught by the guard and the police officers, but accidentally drops the USB drive, which was recovered by the guard. From the rafters, you'll need to distract the guard and officers and retrieve the drive undetected. For the police officer on the right, you can either pop the balloons off in the distance or hit the DJ booth to turn on lights and music. For the officer on the left you can pop the balloons beneath you or you can pull out the tiered seating against the left-hand wall. For the officer speaking with the guard in the center of the room, you can activate the camera/photo area, or pop any outstanding balloons. With all three officers distracted, you'll want to zip to the “ceiling” of the central disc with the hanging purple/pink lights, press L2 to begin a Ceiling Hang, and then pull the left analog stick downward to descend and automatically pickpocket the guard.

After leaving the gym and escaping to the football field, the flashback ends, and after a series of cutscenes, the mission ends.

## Note

The song Harry sings to distract the guards is "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley, known for the "Rickrolling" Internet meme.
