Reed smiled, "what are you talking about? I'm still that impressive."
"Right," Sue rolled her eyes before turning to me, "alright Peter, I'll get right on this. Also here, I almost forgot to give you this," she handed me a check and I blinked looking at it.
"T-ten thousand?!" I squeaked looking at the check, "is this the money for the SA?"
"No, this is your monthly allowance," Sue smiled, "did you honestly forget we're actually paying you?"
I nodded, "kinda yeah."
"Ha! That's rich!" Johnny chuckled, "anyway sis you haven't told him about the deal with Amazon yet."
"Alright already! I'm getting to it!" Sue huffed, "anyway Peter, the deal with Amazon went through, we got them to accept the SA as a more advanced version of the Kindle, we did have to make a few modifications to it, but it shouldn't be too different."
I shrugged, "it's cool. So? What's the deal?"
"Well the Baxter building was given 2 million for the rights of manufacturing and you will get 5% of every SA ever sold as royalty checks."
"How much are they going to sell it for?" I asked curiously.
"Around a 1,000 dollars," she smiled.
I whistled, "damn, that's like 50 bucks in my pocket for every SA sold."
"Yup! So use the money wisely Spider, don't grow a big ego you here?" Sue warned with a wink, quickly getting on the phone with her patent lawyer to talked about Parker Blood.
I was grinning ear to ear that night when I went home. Ben and May were curious as to why, I had cashed in the check Sue gave me and dropped ten grand on the table starting them both. Ben had actually gotten scared thinking I had robbed an ATM or something.
I just laughed and told him the truth, and after a call to Sue Storm just to be sure, they hugged me and whispered they were proud.
I made them take the money to pay for the bills that were piling up in the mail. They refused of course like the nobel people they were, they insisted I use the money for my college funds or something similar, but I was just as stubborn as them, and maybe a little more so.
I had to tell them about the royalty checks Amazon would give me to finally get them to agree to take the cash. That night Ben told me in private how things were barely holding together at home and how the cash I gave them would really turn things around. May didn't want to admit it, but Ben knew what had to be done.
So with that done I finally began to make myself a proper costume for myself. Don't get me wrong, the jacket was perfect and all, but it was still just a jacket. If I was going to fight crimes and people I needed to become better.
So I used the tech I had on hand to make myself a new costume.
I got a SHIELD tactical suit from the armoy in the bunker, with Natasha's permission of course. It was made of a polymer blend with ten layers of treated composite materials, it provided a state-of-the-art ballistic protection, plus it came in black!
I then created a miniature arc reactor of my own design, it's body shape hexagonal instead of circular and it's internal wiring system replaced with Parker Blood, it caused the reactor to glow black, but it also allowed me to reduce the size of the machine to just three inches of height.
I attached wires of PB to the reactor and spread them across the suit like lines on a circuit board. Since of course they were just wires and could easily break on impact,so I added a layer of red cloth of the same polymer blend over the wires that was semi-transparent.
When the arc reactor was active the wire glowed on the red surface, it looked like a giant black web. It spread from the chest all the way down to my arms, upper back, around my hip and along the side of my legs. The Parker Blood wires were like a circulatory system for the suit, glowing black with energy transferred around the whole suit.
It really did look like the classic Spider-man costume, expect with black and red instead of red and blue.
I also decided my web shooters needed an upgrade. They were great as they were, but I needed them to be more powerful, to do more. I also needed to add in the repulsor technology into them and that would be a challenge.
I put in more features into the web shooters, made the range of webbing I could fire out much larger. I also worked in a way to create a thick blanket of webbing, which I could use as insulation in case I ever fought someone who I couldn't touch directly.
I then went a little mad, adding in more and more additions to the shooters. A cartridge I could throw like a grenade, webbing that won't ever tear, and even a laser guided web bullet that could fly over a 100 feet.
But the shooter began to become too heavy and clunky, I couldn't fit all these new changes around my wrist alone, so instead of just a wrist band I decided to do a full gauntlet instead.
It was actually based off the drones robotic design. I designed the gauntlets to go around my fore arms and carry inside it spare web carriages that would automatically switch when an old one ran out. Sort of like a machine gun changing rounds automatically.
I also left a lot of empty room inside the gauntlet, so that I could one day add more interesting features to it. Right now I had a small computer inside that acted like a phone, GPS, navigation, google, the works. I had an SA to serve as the screen and a small key pad underneath it. It wasn't much, but it would do for now.
The gloves were attached to the gauntlet and were made of a polymer similar to my suit. I attached knuckles bracer on it, it would give my punches an extra oomph. I also attached a small repulsor in the palm of my hand, strong enough to be used as weapons. Sorry Tony, I might have to rip you off.
