Chapter 16 - Preparation For The Hunt

Building Deon's Nanotech Suit: The Details

While Phin took on the corporate titans of the tech world, Deon and Ganke dedicated themselves to creating a suit that would push Deon's abilities to new heights. The process was anything but easy—long nights filled with tinkering, testing, and revisions.

In their makeshift lab, holographic displays floated in the air, showcasing various blueprints and simulations. Deon stood with his arms crossed, intently studying the nanotech suit's virtual design, while Ganke, who sat across from him, typed rapidly into his laptop, coding the inner workings of the suit's neural link.

"We need something that adapts to any situation," Deon said, his brow furrowed in concentration. "Something that doesn't just enhance my strength and agility, but can also keep up with my electrical powers. I don't want to be wasting energy when I could be absorbing it."

Ganke nodded without taking his eyes off the screen. "What about using a layered nanofiber system? We could coat the suit in nano-filaments that react to electricity, drawing in power from the environment or attacks. That way, you'll always have a steady flow of energy for your Venom Blasts."

Deon's eyes lit up. "Exactly what I was thinking. If I can channel the energy I absorb into my punches, I can deal more damage without burning myself out. It could make my Venom powers way more efficient."

They dove into the technical details—debating how best to weave the nano-filaments into the fabric so that they wouldn't interfere with Deon's movements. Each layer of the suit needed to be flexible yet durable, able to take a hit from powerful enemies like Electro or Vulture without tearing. They also had to design it in a way that allowed the suit to regenerate small damages on its own, using nanobots to repair the material in real time.

But the suit wasn't just about absorbing power. Deon wanted it to be a perfect balance between offense, defense, and stealth. The integrated cloaking system, using light-bending technology, would make Deon nearly invisible—even without using his natural camouflage ability. This would allow him to slip into enemy strongholds unnoticed or ambush unsuspecting foes during combat.

Testing the Suit

Weeks passed, and the suit's first prototype was finally ready for testing. Deon suited up, feeling the lightweight nanotech cling to his body like a second skin. It was sleek, almost seamless, with micro-circuits embedded throughout. Phin, who had been overseeing some of the circuitry, watched from across the room with a proud smile.

"How does it feel?" she asked, stepping closer to inspect the suit.

Deon rotated his arms and stretched, testing the range of motion. "Like I'm not wearing anything, but also... like I'm unstoppable."

Phin raised an eyebrow. "Good. Now, let's see if it can handle a real test."

With that, Deon stepped into the simulation chamber Ganke had set up, activating a virtual environment of New York City's skyline. Simulated enemies—everything from low-level thugs to more advanced foes like Electro—appeared within the city streets below.

Deon took a deep breath and activated the suit's energy absorption feature. Instantly, he could feel the power pulsing through him as the suit pulled ambient electricity from the surrounding environment. His Venom energy surged, making his body feel lighter, faster.

"Here we go," Deon muttered as he leaped from a skyscraper, free-falling for a moment before slinging a web and swinging into action. He hit the first wave of enemies hard—Venom Punches that sent shockwaves through the air, enhanced by the nanotech's ability to amplify his bio-electricity. Each punch he threw was stronger, more controlled. And when the simulated Electro sent a bolt of lightning his way, the suit absorbed it with ease, funneling the energy back into Deon's body.

"He's even stronger than before," Ganke muttered from the control room, watching as Deon fought with an intensity and precision he hadn't seen in previous trials.

Phin smiled knowingly. "The suit isn't just enhancing his abilities. It's learning from him, adapting to his movements. Every fight he wins, the suit gets better."

Enhancing Peter's Iron Spider Suit

As Deon refined his suit, his thoughts often drifted to Peter. With Kraven's arrival on the horizon, Deon knew that Peter would need an upgrade too. The Iron Spider suit was formidable, but it lacked some of the versatility that Kraven's tactics would demand.

"We need to upgrade the Iron Spider suit for Peter," Deon said one night as they worked on a new phase of the nanotech suit. "Kraven's not going to be an easy fight, and Peter's going to need more than his usual gadgets."

Phin, always ready with a solution, quickly jumped in. "We can apply some of the same adaptive tech from your suit, but we'll need to reinforce the armor. It should be flexible enough for Peter to still move fast, but durable enough to block Kraven's blades."

Ganke nodded in agreement. "Yeah, and we can enhance the spider legs too. Maybe give them more articulation for close combat and some built-in web-slinging mechanisms. Peter could use them to fight in all directions at once, or as extra arms during grappling."

They worked late into the night, pouring over old designs of Peter's Iron Spider suit, dissecting what worked and what needed improvement. They upgraded the armor, replacing it with a lightweight but incredibly strong alloy that would flex with Peter's movements but harden upon impact, distributing the force of blows like Kraven's knife strikes. The spider legs were also completely revamped, now equipped with advanced sensors and the ability to web enemies from any angle, giving Peter a huge tactical advantage.

"Peter's going to be a one-man army with this," Deon remarked, as they tested the durability of the new suit in a virtual environment. "But more importantly, he'll be able to survive whatever Kraven throws at him."

They also added a new AI system that would help Peter track enemies in real-time, providing him with predictive combat data. With Kraven's speed and cunning, Peter would need every edge he could get. And with the new adaptive armor, the suit would not only protect Peter but also learn from each fight, making it harder and harder for Kraven to land a lethal blow.

A Future United

By the time both suits were fully complete, Deon and Peter stood at the forefront of a new era of heroism. Deon's suit, designed to amplify his electrical powers and boost his physical capabilities, made him faster, stronger, and more dangerous in every fight. He could absorb the energy from any attack, turning his enemies' power against them.

Peter, in his upgraded Iron Spider suit, was nearly untouchable. The suit's AI fed him combat data in real-time, helping him anticipate and counter Kraven's future attack, while the enhanced spider legs gave him an added layer of offense and defense. Together, they would be an unstoppable team against any threat the city might face.

One evening, as they stood on the roof of their apartment, Deon turned to Phin and smiled. "You've been right there with us the whole way. Tinkers, the suits, everything… I couldn't have done it without you."

Phin smiled back, her eyes filled with pride. "I've got your back, always."
