Peter woke up dead.
His first thought was how exactly that worked. If you were dead, shouldn't you never wake up? Yet he had woken up, and he was dead.
His second thought was that there was a poker game going on, and Captain America was the big blind.
"Steve? Aren't you dead?"
"Uh-huh. We all are." Steve nodded to his poker buddies: Jack Monroe, Goliath, and Dumbledore. "You too."
"Eh? All I did was make a deal with the devil!"
"Yeah. To never marry Mary-Jane. And remember how many times she inspired you in the face of overwhelming odds?"
"Oh yeah." Peter pulled up a chair. "So I guess without her, someone killed me other than Morlun. Yeah, bad move on my part. So, how are we busting out of here?"
