Where Have You Been? is the first mission of The Flame side story in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Peter gets a call to help rescuers who have been trapped in a collapsing building, but he also meets up with a previous ally and stumbles upon a pyromaniac cult.

The Flame side story will become available once the Healing The World main story has been completed. Chief Clarke will give you a call and ask for help in stabilizing the building they are working on and rescuing the trapped civilians. The Where Have You Been? side mission will then appear in the central area of the Financial District. All missions under The Flame side story are exclusive only for Peter Parker.

After getting the phone call from Chief Clarke, make your way to the marker in the Financial District and talk to the rescuers outside the building.
