Kaine, Peter Parker's clone, has run from New York after some "events" that transpired there. His plan is to take a bus from North Carolina to Texas and cross the border of Mexico and disappear forever. While he thinks about that, people start screaming and he starts to hear gunfire from a bank nearby.

He ignores it, and enters the bus. But something inside of him tells him this is his opportunity for a new beginning where he would not have to keep thinking about his imminent death, and could be the hero instead of the monster he has been.
