He knew what had happened, of course, he knew the trick himself. Sending one end of strand one place and a glob of webbing with the end of the strand somewhere else. Of course, the weight of the arch had broken the webbing eventually, but it had given him plenty of time to save the boy.
Then there was the webbing in that maniac's eyes. Peter knew that he hadn't done that, though he was certainly thinking it.
Somebody else around either had powers like his, or had learned to duplicate his webbing artificially somehow.
He didn't remember anybody else appearing sick after that high school trip. Nor did anyone else in the school show any sign of spider powers, but perhaps other schools had made the same trip. If someone else had gotten bitten by that spider, then there would be another spider-man around, or woman for that matter.
Unfortunately, he didn't have many good shots of the balcony as he'd been in too much of a hurry to properly set the camera, and he hadn't been paying much attention to anybody but the guy in the green, and Mary Jane.
And he'd forgotten, or misunderstood, the biggest clue he'd have. The sensation he'd felt before it was overwhelmed by the attack.
In any case, he had another assignment to handle after this and nowhere further he could go on the mystery of whoever helped him. Unless of course the other spider, if that's what they were, came out into the open.
