Chapter 2: Plans

Peter stands in the center of Stark Enterprises scientific division around him scientist and engineers watch in awe as aerial screens float around him. He moves with a confidence and swagger unseen from him before. A look of concentration is displayed across his face as he types in commands. Those directly in his path give way as the spider arms on his armor pushes aside all objects in their way being set to auto-defense.

Above the science division Tony Stark stands his expression one of quiet contemplation. Reed Richards stands beside Tony, Reed eyes crinkled at the corners his face showing concern.

"Tony, can we be sure he is up to this?" Reed asks in a quiet voice.

"There is nothing better when you lose someone close to you," Tony says his voice shaky a little. "When my father die I threw myself into inventing, you are no different from me Reed and Peter is no different, the boy is a genius," Tony says sweeping his hand towards peter down below controlling the armor suit and its expendable arms down below.

"I can tell from our many encounters, he is strong, and his gallery of villains consists of some very brilliant men. Osborn, Dr. Corners a genetic expert, Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius a genius in atomic physics, he deals with many intelligent villains and understands them and their tech. He could be a dangerous foe given a free hand," Reed Richards says looking not at Peter but Tony.

"Spider-Man has always been a dangerous enemy he has super human strength and agility, he has internal web, he can sense danger, he is an unrecognized genius, and his conviction makes him an unstoppable force," Tony says pride lacing his voice.

"I can hear it in your voice Tony, you want to utilize him, what is it you imagine for him."

"I'm a futurist I can see the outcome of events, I warn Steve that a war would happen that the events leading to registration would come about."

"I know this story well Tony, we needed to be united, but we weren't the war is over, but the fight continues. I feel that Peter has change, hardness has developed in him an edge that wasn't there before," Reed says in a cautionary tone.

"His aunt just died of course there is an edge to him, which is why I will focus that edge. If you're commenting on his no longer having witty remarks during battle, I consider it a mark improvement," Tony says taking his eyes off Peter too look at his friend. "Trust me Reed he is where he needs to be."

"Will he be content though?" Reed asks.

"You ask hard questions, but I will push him harder, I plan to make him my heir Reed, he will become my senior vice-president, and second in command. Pepper is taking care of the business, but she is not a technical genius. Peter on the other hand fits the bill, he has the ideals to keep the company going, he has the talent and the heart to lead the avengers, and that is more than enough to make me believe in him," Tony says in paternal voice.

Peter smiles as he looks at the spider arms built from adamantium he has adapted the concept of Doctor Octopus' arms into the design of the suit. By integrating the harness into the armor that Tony had originally design for him Peter plans had center on streamlining the spider-arms and making them stronger and more flexible. He smiles remembering asking for a pulse beam. Tony had turned him down flat. Peter didn't care though not when he realized he had a rogue's gallery of inventions to choose from and a way to beat them all. I won't lose again.

Peter moves onto the next part of his armor the armbands that would hold his web cartridge he makes a rotating band that can be turned either manually, mentally, or by verbal command. He adds a cloaking device with an electromagnetic harness added to the fiber of his suit. This electromagnetics allows for him to add the weapons of his deadly foes the sinister six, by utilizing the Vultures flight capability separately unit from his boosters a backup just in case. For a long range attack he used Shocker's attacks of concentrated air and sound, Electro's electric blast and fields. He also added a sonic dampener that could send out a concussion force wave. Last he used vibranium to enhance key structural parts of his suit.

Smiling at his work he looks at his new suit not gold and red like Iron Man's armor, but a blue and silver design super sleek, which utilizes the best of both his friend and foes weapons. The design should allow him to have no disadvantages.

As a precaution when the final designs are complete Peter purges the designs from systems to ensure that there would be no backdoor subroutine able to override his suit. To do this he cuts off the power to the central mainframe at Stark Towers. Once the lights are out Peter only has seconds before the entire complex cuts back on as the backup generator kicked in. In those seconds between the systems reboot Peter enters into Starks firewall entering a sub routine replacing his design specs with a second design that utilizes the materials he has used from Stark. He then writes in new overrides he has spent months gathering. Let Tony Stark try to override this Iron Spider Suit.

The lights flicker back, "Mr. Parker would you like to test the suit?" A beautiful blonde asks wide eye and seemingly innocent.

"That sounds like an excellent ideal…" Peter says pausing not knowing her name.

"Gwen." She says seeing the helpless look on his face.

Peter minds goes blank as he pictures the woman he had once loved.

"Mr. Parker?"

"What…what did you say?"

"My name it's Gwen Saber."

Shaking his head he smiles a weak smile, "Yeah I'll test it now," he says a goofy smile on his face.

Spider-Man leaps through the air his webbing extending further than ever before; sensors go off in his helmet alerting him to the police scanners. The system developed by Tony instantly categorizes the broadcast in order of relevance, then marking a route to follow for maximum efficiency Spider-Man swings through the air.

Spider-Man drops from the sky in a dark alley, his night vision kicks allowing him to move silently through the darkness. Two thugs holdup a struggling woman. One of the men has the woman from behind a knife at her throat. The other man snatches the bag from her shaking hands. Spider-Man takes the scene in at a glance before leaping into the air. Dropping behind the knife wielder he grabs the man's arm in an iron grip crushing bone instantly. Wrapping his left arm around the man's neck he wrenches it around letting the man fall to the ground. Throwing the woman aside Spider-Man sends a well place kick into the man holding her purse midsection sending him flying into the alley wall. The man grunts as his bones snap his sternum crushed from by the force of the kick. The man coughs his left lung filling with blood as he drowns on his own life blood.

The woman stands shakily looking at Spider-Man in the darkness his image indistinct, "Thank you for saving me."

Spider-Man does not respond leaping to the building's roof. Once on the roof his hands shake as he realizes that he has killed again, without thought or remorse he dispatched the criminals menacing the city. But are his actions right, did common thugs deserve to die for societies failures?

The old Spider-Man would have said no, but hadn't Uncle Ben died believing that, if he had acted, if he had killed the criminal when he had a chance, would that man have had the chance to lash out at his uncle. Spider-Man thought no. When did it become the responsibility of the hero to stop the villain not just in the act, but for good? Did heroes not take on the responsibility when they put on their colorful masks and customs? Yet all the heroes preached mercy, which was not true responsibility it was in a sense No Justice at all.

Peter Parker walks towards Tony the armor suit lighter then Tony's Iron Man suit does not cause the floor to cave in. He lets the mask reflect his face as he hands Tony a drink. Tony looks down at the glass having quite drinking his eyebrow raises in question. "It's a virgin, don't worry Tony let's make a toast to a new future," he says smiling at the man who had failed his aunt.

Stark smiles, "You've done excellent job Peter, the suit is amazing though the cooler scheme leaves something to be desire," Stark says in a lazy voice taking a sip of the drink before tossing the drink back. Peter smiles as the liquid is drain from the tumbler.

Peter smiles, "I thought we should distinguish between the two of us I would hate to be one of those couples who dress alike."

"I see your wit has return," Tony says eyeing the suit. "I wonder what new gadgets you've added."

"You'll just have to wait and find out." You overconfident megalomaniac

"Well I will leave you to it Peter I place my entire trust in you, I have a close meeting with the president, and S.H.I.E.L.D needs to be ran properly, can I count on you to lead the Avengers in the days to come?"

"Really," Peter says not needing to fake surprise. "Me," He says pointing a finger at his chest. "Shouldn't it be someone else more experience?"

"No it has to be you. You're the face of the avengers now, and the face of the new generation, Reed, Steve, and I we're the old guard. You will lead a new team I will let you assemble a team of your own choice. Take the fight home let the world see you as a symbol to be proud of not old dogs fighting over bone."

"I'll do my best." You are a fool I'll destroy you and leave you broken in need of help.

"You are the man for the job Peter, the son I never had."

"I'm Honor." The son always succeeds the father.
