Skirmish
"You're messing with things you don't understand."

- Vulture to Spider-Man

Spider-Man made his way to the where he intervened Vulture's group and his new buyer Mac Gargan. Spider-Man easily took down his enemies using multiple types of webs to assist him. Spider-Man was then confronted by Vulture and the two engaged in a short battle before a Chitauri weapon malfunctioned causing several beams to shoot out slipping the ferry in half letting the Vulture retreat.

Spider-Man quickly acted and webbed the two parts of the ferry together. He then tried to pull the two parts together himself by pulling on the webs, the other webs started to break off causing the the ferry to continue to sink. Suddenly Iron Man arrived with several mini repulsor-powered thrusters to assist in pushing the two parts together, repairing the ferry and saving everyone.

Aftermath
"What if somebody had died? That's on you. What if you had died? That's on me. I don't need that guilt on my conscience. I'm gonna need the suit back." "For how long?" "Forever." "No! But I'm nothing without the suit!" "If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it."

- Tony Stark and Peter Parker

Surviving citizens of the ferry were rescued and taken to safety aboard smaller lifeboats. Spider-Man returned to dry land and watched over the rescue, recuperating from the skirmish. Tony Stark arrived shortly after angrily scolding Parker for acting without Happy Hogan's permission, as well as endangering the lives of nearby civilians aboard the ferry. Stepping out from his suit, to Peter's surprise, Stark decisively demanded Parker's suit back in person. In a somewhat fatherly away, Stark was effectively prohibiting Peter Parker from any more dangerous misuse of his highly advanced suit as to keep Peter safe more than anyone else. Peter Parker returned home without his suit that night, in tourist clothes Tony bought for him.

Mac Gargan, the potential buyer, was retrieved from the water by the and was subsequently arrested and sent to prison.
