Chapter 3: Revelations

Leaving the towering Oscorp Tower behind him, Ethan's mind buzzed with questions as he ventured into the bustling streets. His steps were guided by a sense of purpose, a determination to uncover the truth of his existence in this bewildering new world.

As he delved into the depths of his own thoughts, Ethan's hand instinctively reached for his wallet, a familiar gesture that offered a semblance of comfort amidst the uncertainty. Fumbling through its contents, his fingers closed around a worn ID card, his name emblazoned across it in bold letters.

With a flicker of recognition, Ethan studied the address listed on the card. It was a familiar street name, one that stirred a faint memory buried deep within his mind. With newfound resolve, he approached a passerby, his voice steady despite the tumultuous storm of emotions raging within him.

"Excuse me, do you know where this address is?" Ethan inquired, his tone measured but urgent.

The passerby glanced at the address before nodding in recognition. "Yeah, it's not too far from here. Just a few blocks down that way," they replied, gesturing in the direction indicated.

Thanking the stranger, Ethan set off towards his destination, each step bringing him closer to the truth he so desperately sought. The streets blurred past him in a dizzying whirl of motion, his mind racing with anticipation.

Finally, he arrived at the familiar address, his heart pounding with a mixture of trepidation and excitement. With a deep breath, Ethan rang the doorbell, the sound echoing through the quiet neighborhood.

The door swung open, revealing a woman standing on the threshold. Her features were vaguely familiar, but Ethan couldn't place where he had seen her before. She smiled warmly at him, her eyes alight with curiosity.

"You are back already?" she asked, her voice tinged with warmth.

Ethan hesitated for a moment, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation. "uh... I guess yes?..." he admitted, his brow furrowing in confusion. "I think I live here?"

The woman's smile widened, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Oh, is this some kind of prank?" she teased, stepping aside to let him enter. "Well, come on in then."

As Ethan crossed the threshold into the familiar warmth of the house, a sense of recognition washed over him. This was his home, he realized. And the woman standing before him was his mother.

But how could that be possible? Ethan's mind raced with questions, each one more bewildering than the last. As he settled into the comfort of the familiar surroundings, he knew that the answers he sought lay just beyond his grasp.
