"Look at the mess you've made! It's all because you originally talked to Peter about web-making, now, he's webbing all over New York, making three webs a day, the cleaning company can't keep up with his speed!"
"I was helping him understand the importance of social engineering, not telling him to physically make webs!"
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Stark Tower Laboratory, Stark and Shiller were arguing relentlessly. Stark, waving his arms around, loudly said, "You knew he was a naive boy! Yet you lectured him on such profound matters, didn't you know his understanding would be far off?!"
"Do you think, with Peter's wisdom, he might interpret what I said as weaving webs all over the New York sky? Instead, why didn't you and Connors find something for Peter to do? What about all those research projects of yours?" Shiller retorted.
Connors, who was innocently implicated, raised a document and said, "Actually, he didn't delay the research. He finished everything in half the usual time and left spare time for himself to go out and weave webs. I must say, as a spider, he is quite diligent."
"But he's a human!" Stark exclaimed, "Spiderman is not a spider, he's a human! Even if he's a spider, he can't weave three spider webs in the New York sky every day! Has he ever considered the feelings of people with arachnophobia?"
Shiller looked up at the spider web not far away and said, "You know, this web is actually quite beautiful. If there were enough room in my rest home, I'd really like to take one back as decoration..."
Just as he finished saying this, his phone rang. After picking up the phone, he said: "Hello? Ultron?... Oh, yes, I'm at the Stark Building, what's up?"
"What??? There's a spider web above the rest home, clients are complaining that we're not meeting the cleanliness standard and want a refund?!! Hold on! I'm coming back at once!!"
Shiller hung up the phone, scattered into a grey mist, and flew straight back to Arkham Sanatorium, with Stark in his battlesuit following behind. When they arrived, Stark couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The suburbs of New York are not like downtown. There aren't so many high-rise buildings here. If you use a relatively low building as the anchor point to set up a spider web, one problem arises, that is, the collapsed part may stick everywhere.
Looking at the disarrayed sanatorium, Shiller took a deep breath. Yet, that was not the end. He soon received another call. Nick said to Shiller on the phone: "Can you please control that Spider-kid? The maintenance cost of the Sky Carrier is already high enough, and he filled it with spider webs everywhere. Is he hoping the cleaning staff will ask for a raise?"
"This is the only good thing he's done!" Shiller said exasperatedly. After hanging up the phone, he was about to return downtown to find Peter when Captain America jumped down from the rooftop and came to them. He said, "What's going on? What happened to Peter? I saw news reports saying he's webbing all over New York, seriously ruining the city's appearance. The police station has even been dispatched..."
Stark stroked his chin, "Peter's aberration isn't just that. Since he was about to graduate from high school, he's become extraordinarily hyperactive. Jarvis initially left him several doors on the glass curtain wall of Stark Tower, but every time they ended up shattered by him..."
"Today, he ran non-stop for five or six hours in my lab, showing no sign of slowing down."
Steve added, "Just now I saw in the news that, just an hour ago, he defeated a gang of bank robbers, helped a homeless man move house, fixed a food vendor's car, and even towed a car blocking the fire lane, two blocks away..."
Stark rubbed his forehead, "He's not powered by a reactor, won't he be tired?"
"A sudden hyperactive change in behavior could indicate several possibilities..." Shiller stood still, arms crossed, speculating: "Firstly, it could be due to mental excitement. Overly active brain activity could lead to various hyperactive behaviors in humans. However, in the absence of mental illness, this mental excitement is still subject to physiological limitations. After the excitement subsides, one would feel extremely tired."
"The mental excitement of a regular person wouldn't exceed 6~10 hours. If it's any longer, it could harm the body. Afterwards, the brain's self-protection mechanism would make them feel very tired and would need immediate rest."
"Considering Peter's mental and physical strengths are higher than an average human, let's estimate he could last four times longer. After approximately two days, he should be able to break away from this state of excitement and would not become hyperactive again within a short period."
"Oh, please." Stark raised his arm, "It's almost two months since his high school graduation and he's still the same."
"There's another possibility. If drugs are used to stimulate the body, the same effect could be achieved. If the drug dose is large enough, this period of time can be extended." Shiller said.
"But no matter how much you extend it, it can't possibly last almost two months, right? And why would Peter even take stimulants? Just to perform stunts in the New York sky and cover it with spider webs??" Steve was very confused.
