Peter sighed as he was being pulled by his arms out of high school "Angel, I know you are excited for this but is it necessary to buy the materials for your clothing so early?" He couldn't help but smile at her excitement, he didn't know how to feel about putting his friends in risk through aiding them in joining him in his super heroics
"Come on Pete, crime doesn't rest. Besides, if they really are criminals and we stop them, who's to say you won't be able to snatch a few of their high-tech parts for some cool gadgets?" She tried to cheer him up, a smile on her face as she couldn't help but contain her excitement as she pulled Peter by the wrist. She was quite strong, maybe it was her mutant genes or simply her physique, her high waisted jeans, yellow blouse and red jacket helped in complimenting her toned body.
"That is some form of plagiarism Angel, I prefer to make my own gadgets" He would eventually catch up to her walking speed, taking a deep breath as he felt his wrist being let go by her "I had a few designs in mind for your outfit, unless you have something else in mind" he put his hands in his pockets. He was simply wearing a pair of jeans, a white shirt and a big baggy hoodie.
"I have a design in my mind, I bought a separate leather jacket for it, I want my suit to have at least two pockets so if you make it skin tight I might as well wear something on top" she nodded to herself as she kept walking with him "As for color, I think you might know which ones I like, of course I want flames on it and gloves"
Peter would nod slowly "Close to something I had in mind, although I wasn't thinking of making it skin tight. I was thinking on putting some armored padding on it" He rubbed the back of his head as they arrived to the store "Besides, I didn't think the attention you would get from it being skin tight would be something you appreciate"
Angelica would chuckle as she looked around for yellow spandex "Oh Pete, you wear a skin tight suit as well. Don't you think someone will take note of your spider bulge? If you got it flaunt it" she simply answered him, looking him up and down as she found the right shade of yellow she wanted "Besides we are both of age and if anyone attempts something I can just melt their faces off"
He took a deep breath and looked at her "Angel, you shouldn't be thinking about murdering someone. You are pretty strong, I mean remember when Flash hit on you? You straight up knocked him out" he chuckled as he grabbed a few zippers, velcro pads and other materials he would need.
"I don't know, Pete, my powers are already pretty lethal to most criminals. I don't know if a simple punch from a 6'2" girl could really knock most criminals out" she was busy picking the red spandex for her suit, pondering what Peter was saying "I don't want to kill anyone, but prison is a harsh place. Are you sure they wouldn't hold a grudge against us?"
"Criminals will always hold a grudge but would you rather take someone's life and rob their families off the opportunity to see them again; or would you rather have them have a trial where they could get the help they need?" Peter would put everything in a basket he was carrying, turning back to Angelica as he had a gentle smile on his face.
"Despite your age, you are a very wise person Pete" she was done with choosing the colors of her outfit, putting everything on the basket "I guess that is why we should have secret identities" she would stretch and look around the store as they made their way to the counter.
As Peter was reaching for his wallet to pay for the materials, he saw that Angelica was already paying before he could "Angel, you really don't have to pay for these" he tried to pay but the cashier had already given her the change.
"Bullshit, paying for the materials is the least I can do" she put the change back into her jacket.
Peter grabbed the bag of supplies and gave a couple coins to the old lady who had bagged it for them, a deep sigh coming from him as they made their way out of school "I have to wonder why Bobby didn't ask me to making him a suit, do you think he knows how to sow?"
She would shake her head as she looked at Peter "I doubt he knows, but he probably doesn't want to bother you Pete" a soft smile on her face as the two stood at a bus stop, looking down she would take a deep breath before turning to him "Pete, I didn't want to worry you too much before you agreed to help me, but a few homeless people from the nearby Feast Facilities have all been disappearing these past few days"
"And you think the trucks and Roxxon have something to do with it" Peter eye's glanced over to her, she always had a big heart and that's something he appreciated, a soft smile on his face as he held onto her hand "I'm sure we'll be able to stop them if that's the case"
"Peter, you were always the hopeful kind, but we would never be able to stop these sort of things from happening even with our superheroics" Angelica held on tightly to his hand, she had a hopeful smile on her face as she nodded "We might be able to stop them this time but they are a company, a single human rights violation has never stopped them"
"Well, if they try more than just once, we'll be there" Peter tried to reassure her, he didn't want to believe in a world as bleak as her's. He hoped that if they found evidence about them he could at least do something to stop the company, a new bill or something but that was just his hopeful side.
After the two arrived at his house through an uneventful bus drive, Angelica would grin as she stepped into the house waiting for Peter to close the door and lock it before pulling him into his room "So Pete, ready to take my measurements?" she would wink at him, she had a grin on his face as she enjoyed how he squirmed at her remarks.
"H-Hey Angel, I don't think you really need to take off your clothes for me to take off your measurements" he couldn't help it, he was blushing, his cheeks were a bright shade of red that he couldn't hit. He had always felt attracted to her, he couldn't help it, he was a teenager and his hormones always got the best of him but Uncle Ben always taught him to be nice and polite.
She chuckled "Oh Pete, how will you get the true measurements with all this extra cloth on my body, don't be silly" Angelica would start off by taking her jacket and blouse off, revealing that she indeed worked out far more than Peter expected, she had abs, her back was far more muscular than he expected and she had muscle on her arms.
As more layers of clothing fell on the floor, Peter could see her in her full glory, her legs were pretty strong. Her body was pretty toned and not a single hair on her body, her plump breasts were smaller without her pull up bra "So Pete~ What do you think?"
His cheeks were pretty red, he felt nervous as this was his first time with a naked woman "You look amazing Angel" he tried to take a deep breath as he grabbed his tape measure, he felt a knot on his throat as he slowly began to take her measurements. He could feel his pants tighten as he touched her soft skin.
"You don't have to be so shy Pete, I have seen you look at me during class" she bit her lips as she felt her heart racing, she had always found Peter to be cute specially with how he acted around her. Everytime she teased him; every time she complimented him, he would blush, it was simply adorable for her and she couldn't help but develop her own crush on the boy.
Pete looked up at her as he gently wrapped the measuring tape along her waist, choking on his saliva he let out a cough, covering his mouth with a hand "Angel, I am not being shy. You are my friend and I have to treat you with respect even if you are naked" he could feel his face heat up as he tried to ignore his own feelings and arousal.
"Well, Pete, do you think I would get naked for anyone? I trust you, and I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt me" she would huff as she felt the cold tape around her naked skin, feeling a soft blush crawl around her face as she wasn't entirely used to being naked around others.
As he took the last set of measurements he sat down on his table, writing on his notebook the measurements as he tried to cool his mind off of the naked lady right behind him "Angel, are you sure you're immune to your own powers?" he wasn't sure about it but he was already brainstorming ways to protect her from herself.
"I heard most mutants are immune to their own powers but I am not sure Pete" she didn't even bother putting on clothes as she rested against his chair, a soft smile on her face as she looked at him working.
"Angel, can you please put your clothes back on?" he wanted to do something about her, he felt attracted to her but he didn't want to disrespect her and he didn't want to make her uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and tried to push aside any thoughts of arousal as he slowly worked on her suit.
"Sure thing, Pete. After we are done with this, I'll take you on a date to the cinema" she didn't bother making sure to be sexy as she put on her clothes, she knew Peter was too busy working on her suit to bother looking at her.
"Like… romantically?" He might be one of the smartest persons she knew but he sure was one of the most dense person's she knew as well. He was very skilled at sewing, his craftwork enough to make her think about turning him into her personal tailor.
"Yes Peter, I know you like me" she would sit right beside him, paying attention to what he did "Can you put a zipper on the front, I want to be able to open my suit so I can show off some inner side boob you know?"
His cheeks flared up red "Angel, you are my best friend… I'd love to but I am not sure I want to move things like that with you" he could feel his heart pumping blood, he felt as if it wanted to pop out of his chest. His hands are just as steady despite his thoughts thinking all about how it could go wrong.
"Pete, I wasn't asking. You like me, I like you, I know you are too shy to ask me and can't afford to be the one inviting me" she would kiss his cheek and caress his chin as she noticed he was done with her outfit "Besides, just teasing you has been getting boring"
Pete took a deep breath as he showed the outfit to her "Fine… but at least let me buy the popcorn" he knew she could see just how red his cheeks were. She always had an ease that no other person had to make him blush, it was like she always knew the right buttons to push to get a reaction.
"I shouldn't have put on my clothes" she growled as she took off her clothes, this time hurrying up to put on her new suit as fast as she could.
The spandex hugging her curves as a soft padding lined up the insides of her suit. A zipper that went from her neck up down below her navel showed her skin to Peter as red cloth made it look like she had flames going from her hands to her elbows and around her zipper. Putting on a pair of red platform boots along with the new jacket she bought, the final detail was a domino mask that looked like it was burning "So how do I look, Pete?~"
"Like a bombshell" he couldn't lie to her, she looked amazing but maybe it was his bias as he had designed the suit himself "Close your eyes and mouth" he told her as he sprayed her outfit with her with a tiny bottle.
She complied but couldn't help but wonder why he did that "Peter… What was that liquid?" She would squirm a little under her suit as she felt the cold liquid against her skin.
"Iodine and a few other chemicals, don't use your powers for like five seconds" he said as he moved to grab his own suit, stopping as he was about to take his clothes off.
"Pete, just put on your suit" she glared at him as she sat down to wait for him "You already saw me naked" she felt more annoyed at Peter feeling shy about changing than the random liquid Peter put on her.
Peter knew better than to make her angry, complying as he did his best to change as fast as he could "The solution should make your suit immune to burning and it should protect you from some radiation" he said before putting on his own mask.
Angelica opened up the window to Peter's room before using her powers to fly off of it, a smile on her face as she flew up, she couldn't contain her excitement to use her powers without shame as her hair glowed a bright shade of red.
Peter couldn't help but smile as he saw his friend flying through the air with an outfit he had made, crawling out of the house before closing the window on his way out, he got on the roof as Angelica descended "We got to meet Bobby and Douglas somewhere around Stone Street" Pete said as he looked at Angelics, tilting his head as he couldn't help but admire her "You need to think of a superhero name"
"I already have one in mind, Spider-Man" she said as she started flying towards the location whole Peter started swinging "How does Firestar sound?" She enjoyed the feeling of wind against her face as the two traveled together through the streets of New York.
"It has a nice ring to it, and people won't think you are insecure because you named yourself after a tiny organism" he had to admit he had trouble catching up to her as he swung around, especially as they traveled through the neighborhood.
"Come on Spider-Man, you don't have to be that rough on yourself" she spun around and closed her eyes as she let her instincts guide her flying, the warmth enveloping her against the cold wind blowing through her hair and skin was something she clearly enjoyed.
Peter took a deep breath as they arrived at the building, he saw a man that almost seemed made out of ice wave at him "I think that's Bobby, Angel" Peter said as he landed on the rooftop with Angelica.
"Bingo, you guessed it right Spider-man, but you might call me Iceman!" Bobby said as he made ice letters appear right behind him that spelled out Iceman "And I am here to help" he would put his hands on his hips as he smiled.
"He is a theater kid without the theater, isn't he?" Angelica joked as she looked up at him "And I thought our costumes exposed too much skin, Bobby, you are only wearing underwear and all of your body is made out of ice" she said as she looked at him up and down.
"Hey… Firestar, Iceman" Peter had a hard time adjusting himself to calling them by their superhero names "I believe Douglas has something to say" Peter couldn't believe the two were getting that distracted by their outfits.
"Thank you, Spider-man" Douglas took a deep breath as he pulled out a set of earpieces "These are connected to the one I am wearing right now, I'll be here home investigating any names or things you three might hear while on your mission so that if you need to fight you will be able to" he said looking nervous as he handed them over to them, he didn't look sure about this operation.
"Thank you Douglas" Peter smiled through his mask as he moved it to the side, putting the earpiece on. Stretching as he awaited for the other two to put their earpieces "I do have to admit, Iceman, your outfit is very revealing, even comparing it to Firestar's"
"I should have thought more about my name, Firestar sounds way cooler than Iceman" he seemed upset at that as he put on his earpiece, cracking his knuckles and yawning as he looked at the other two.
Angelica would put on her earpiece "Thank you for offering us your help, Duggy" she would clap her hands and stand on the edge of the building "So ready to go and see where those trucks are heading to? If my notes are correct, they should be about done moving their first weekly batch of chemicals and should be heading for more"
Peter turned to look at her with surprise "Very well Firestar. You seem very informed about their operations" he said, shooting a string of webbing to a building nearby, pulling himself to start swinging.
Angelica would start flying in the direction of the trucks "Well, I have seen them for months now and I have taken notes of what they do, I mean I have some free time and I take a look at what my neighbors do sometimes" she shrugged during her flight.
Iceman would start shooting a ramp of ice as he froze the air and created a small layer of ice which he used to follow them "That's kinda creepy, are you sure you are not the bad guy here?" he joked around as he had by far the slowest movement speed as he glided through the air.
"I am sure they are not safe, I know they have weaponry and besides, Roxxon has been in the news for various shady things" she said as she slowly thought about the men she saw on the trucks, her body glowing around as she flew using her powers "I mean do you think it's normal that every week they send a shipment of chemicals to an unknown source?"
"It could be several sources but the fact that it's scheduled does seem kinda strange" Peter reasoned as they arrived at the route, the trucks that were carrying the liquids had very small Roxxon logos "I don't think it's that big of a deal but just in case, you said they were going to retrieve more chemicals, so we should at least follow them"
Peter couldn't help but notice that his spider-sense was indicating him of danger as they got closer to the warehouse where the trucks were heading to. He whispered into the ear pieces "Guys, make sure to be sneaky, Firestar, I need you to land close by so you won't give away your location" he said as the trucks slowly arrived, the trucks slowly entering into a warehouse.
Peter would sneak his way into the warehouse, leaving Iceman and Firestar behind without noticing, he was crawling along the ceiling of the warehouse as he looked at the containers they were carrying "I can see the containers they are carrying benzo pyrene, nitrous acid, ethidium bromide and a bunch of other stuff" Peter said as quiet as he could into the earpiece channel.
"Alright Spider-man, I'm looking into what they have in common" Douglas spoke out of the ear piece, only Peter, Angelica and Bobby could hear. He was safe sitting in his room, typing into the keyboard, his room was cold and clean"
"Spidey, I don't think we can sneak around as well as you, we don't even know how you made it through. We could get in but that would alert them of your presence" Angelica spoke out in the channel, sitting on the edge of the building as she looked out at the protected warehouse.
"If anything gets too difficult, I'll call for backup" Peter kept crawling along the shadows of the walls, his focus shifting as he scanned the area of the warehouse with his eyes. Eventually he would find a folder full of papers, he would start to read it slowly "Doug, apparently they are all mutagens… they are escorting a new shipment of them to Techno Cosmic Research Industries along with transferring one Doctor Baxter Stockman at the request of TCRI"
"Apparently Doctor Stockman has had difficulties with employment after he was suspected of robbing a bank, not enough evidence was found to incarcerate him" Douglas spoke out to them through the earpiece.
"Well that doesn't sound ominous at all" Pete said as he kept reading along the files "From what I can tell of these documents they are sending over a bunch of chemicals in order to replicate something…"
"Like the super soldier serum? I heard Doctor Bruce Banner was working on that before he died in that one explosion on the news, remember?" Douglas said as he kept researching the chemicals Peter had told him about.
"It seems that these chemicals are being delivered to TCRI for testing of some kind, it seems very shady as I can't find anything talking about doing the tests on animals" Peter read the papers slowly as he made sure to be quiet, he wanted to take one of the folders but he didn't even put pockets into his suit, that's something he would need to fix later.
"Spider-man, it's like I told you, all those people disappearing and now this? I'm sure it's connected somehow" Firestar paced around the rooftop, feeling like she was gonna burst with anger as she shook his head. She wanted to do something, no she needed to do something but she knew that doing so without evidence wouldn't go anywhere.
Peter tried to look around for a few minutes for more evidence but he couldn't find anything else of value. He decided to go out of the room and look around the warehouse "Hey Doug, you mind investigating TCRI for me?"
"Sure thing Pete. Oh by the way, all the chemicals you listed have one thing in common. The chemicals are all mutagens"
Peter suddenly felt his spider sense yell at him of danger nearby, things were slowing down for him as he found the source of danger, it was a man entering one of the vans with a green undersuit with shiny metallic parts on top of his outfit, it all looked insect-like with gauntlets and some plating, yet it was still very clearly not a full set of armor "Seems like Baxter Stockman is quite a high value individual for both companies because they have what I can only describe as a mercenary" Peter said as quietly into the coms as he could.
"You'll have to be a bit more descriptive than that" Bobby simply said as he tried to get a good glance at the trucks from over the building.
"Green undersuit, purple metal parts, mask looks like a beetle" Spider-Man simply said as he made sure that all the trucks were loaded and leaving before swinging back towards his friends.
"Isn't that the guy that was caught on camera stealing from S.T.A.R. labs a year ago?" Bobby said trying to recall the information as he sprung back into following Peter with his ice slide
"I'm pretty sure that was someone else" Firestar said as he flew towards the other two, her head tilting as she saw the vans do some erratic moves while they followed them "Uh, guys?"
Before she could even say anything she was tackled by the Beetle, the man had flown straight towards her with a set of wings sprouting from his backpack "Oh I see someone did send his mercenaries today to intercept Doctor Stockman" the man said in a slightly robotic voice as he punched Firestar on the gut.
She would growl as she blasted him on the face with a beam of microwaves "GET OFF OF ME" she growled as her beam had sent the mercenary flying a few meters away from her.
Peter felt his spider-sense screaming at him and just as he turned his attention to the source of danger he could see a horde of little flying robots heading directly towards him and Iceman. His instincts kicked in and he tried to web up as many of them as he could, his heart pounding as he wanted to do something to help his friend "Iceman! Help Firestar!"
Iceman simply shook his head as he used his own powers to freeze up a big portion of the robots "I got this, I can make these dudes chill out"
Firestar and Beetle were trading blows with each other, Firestar was overwhelming the sensors of the Beetle with her microwaves "You are messing with my helmet!" He attempted to push her away from him with blades from his boots, the blates melting as they were about to get close to Firestar, he was wincing in pain as the molten metal heated up his undersuit.
Peter tried to swing towards the Beetle, his spider-sense guiding his hand towards a wall but his web didn't land. Luckily he managed to land on one of the vans that had parked "What the…" he looked towards the moving vans, the one containing Baxter had a woman wearing a black leather suit with white fur on the neckline, beautiful flocks of white hair going down her back as she waved at Spider-Man.
"Spidey! Some little help here!" Firestar yelled as despite her best ability she had a hard time fighting off not just the Beetle but the swarm of little robots that Iceman was trying to contain.
Peter jumped into the air, and swung, landing a kick directly towards the Beetle as he blamed himself for letting the van get away "Hey, did you know spiders eat beetles?"
With her hands free, Firestar did her best to melt the horde of robots that only seemed to get bigger, they all were coming off of the truck the Beetle had come from.
The armored man could only let out a growl as his armor was getting destroyed by Spider-Man, his gauntlets torn off and his helmet cracked "Spider, this won't be the last time you face me, trust me. But you better help out your friends deal with the Mausers. You might find an explosive surprise" Beetle taunted Spider-Man as he used his one advantage, the power of flight.
Iceman and Firestar were using their beams of power to freeze solid and melt the Mausers, but their efforts turned into confusion when they turned around, the robots were all blinking red through their sensors.
"Iceman, make a big ball out of the ones you froze. Firestar, melt the ones he can't get" Spidey said as he started throwing using his webs to grab as big of a pile of the robots as he could.
Peter couldn't believe someone could have so little care for civilians, all these robots exploding at once would blow up a small street. Peter launched all the Mausers he could into the waters of New York but one problem became apparent, the Mausers Iceman froze, they were still going to explode.
"Firestar, quick help me destroy them!" Iceman tried to ask his friend, beckoning for her to use the power on the frozen pile of Mausers.
"No" Peter interrupted, shaking his head as he turned to look at his friends "I know exactly what to do" he wasn't sure if this idea was great or suicidal but he grabbed the big pile of ice and starting running towards the ocean, using his body weight and strength Peter threw the ice block as far as he could.
Just as they landed, Peter saw the explosions create waves in the water, luckily no one got harmed "We need to leave, now" Peter swung up and away, he knew that he had already gained bad publicity from the Daily bugle and he knew just how badly they could twist the media against them.
The other two reluctantly agreed to leave, Iceman went directly to his house while Firestar followed Peter directly to his house, taking her earpiece off she looked at Spider-man "Do you think they have something to do with… that?"
Peter took off his earpiece midswing, holding it in one hand"They attacked us without any real reason to, they are transferring mutagens and they don't appear to be testing on animals, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think they weren't involved" he stuck to the wall of his house, opening the window as they snuck their way in.
Angelica didn't wait for Peter to say if it was safe for her to change, she closed the window after they entered and took off her Firestar outfit, changing quickly into her more comfortable clothes without a bother "Hey, at least you weren't punched as hard as I was" she groaned as she had a few bruises on her skin.
Peter shook his head, putting some clothes over his Spider-man outfit "Well, I think trying to look into their operations again after we did this will only paint a target on our backs" Peter groaned as he took off his mask and stretched "Bobby had a great idea stretching before doing superheroics"
Angelica shrugged and folder her outfit, putting it into her bag "Well, you never paid attention during gym so it's only your fault" she chuckled as she opened the door of his room "Remember Pete, we have a date later this week" she closed the door behind her.
