Spider-Man stops Wolverine from cutting a fatal blow and they fight. Spider-Man is forced to rely completely on his spider-sense against Wolverine, who will not stop. Just then his spider-sense goes nuts, so he turns and punches by instinct. However, it isn't Wolverine attacking him but Charlie. Wolverine and Peter leave East Berlin. Peter is haunted by the fatal punch as he travels home. Mary Jane arrives and hugs him to help the pain go away.
