Spider-Man: No Way Home

Chapter 16

[ New York ]

"God, I don't remember these hurting as much as before." Peter (Tobey) stumbled trying to just walk on the sidewalk.

Today was the Trial of the Century—also known as the Trial of Peter Parker. Obviously, not his Peter Parker, of course. It was the Peter (Tom) who he met yesterday. He had heard that it was taking place at Criminal Court—an opportunity he would not pass up. He had promised that he would save him, and today was going to be that day.

Following the groups of people and the direction of where the sirens were heading, Peter (Tobey) made his way to the Criminal Court.

For him, it was an easy crowd to follow. Just look for the people shouting his name and he was golden.

It still felt weird hearing people cry out the name of Peter Parker, and not Spider-Man. The past few years, he's heard all these things being thrown at Spider-Man; never before has he heard cries against Peter Parker. He may not know what's going on, but he believed that his Multiversal counterpart couldn't have killed someone.

These thoughts were derailed by his groan of annoyance when he saw the people that were awaiting at the entrance.

"You've got to be kidding me." Peter (Tobey) cursed, scoping out the area.

There was zero chance that he could get to the front door. The protesters were basically pushing one another. There was a lot of shouting and attention, destroying the chance of any distraction. The guards were even having trouble with them.
