"You can place it here," Peter instructed and Superboy slowly lowered the device to the ground.

After Red Tornado delivered the equipment, Peter asked Superboy to lift the heavy things and, to his surprise, M'gann came to help. Seeing her telekinesis was an incredible experience for the scientist but he withheld any questions in order to focus on setting up the laboratory.

The lab was a simple large room with two tables. One of the tables had a robotic hand on it alongside a telescope, a computer, and a printer. It also had the tasers that Peter was going to work with. The other table had tools and equipment to work with.

The machine Superboy set up was at the very back of the lab which was a large processor. Peter - who was wearing new clothes that consisted of a black pants and a blue shirt under a white lab coat - knelt down besides the machine and began connecting it to the wires of the laboratory.

"So, what is all this?" M'gann asked as she looked over the tools.

"Just some common things. Processors, hard drives, wires, microchips and tools. Not everything I asked for is here, like a cutting laser or a welding torch, but they did give me a wire welder so I'm good for now," Peter explained as he finished connection the large processor. Standing up, he went to the laptop and tuned it on. "I'll have to build the more advanced stuff myself since the League doesn't trust me enough to give them to me. That shouldn't be a problem. Today, however, I'll spend setting everything up. A scientist's laboratory is like a cook's kitchen. We prefer things set up and prepared for our personal preference in doing things."

"Do you need our help with anything?" M'gann asked.

Peter shook his head. "Thank you, but no. You two did your part, and now it's my turn to do mine. Just tell me when dinner's ready or something happens," he said. M'gann looked at Superboy, who shrugged his shoulders before turning away to leave with the Martian following his example. The young scientist finished connecting the large processor to the laboratory and the cave before getting up and heading to the tools and grabbing a screw driver with the wire welder. "Alright, let's start, shall we," he mumbled as he walked to the other table, where the Tasers were.

He started taking them apart to remake them from scratch. First, he needs to make something that isn't limited to the short range of tasers. Unless he is wearing some protective armour - which he filed as a future project to make for now -, getting close to his enemies was a bad idea. Second of all, he will also need it to be stronger than the common taser but give it a function for controlling the voltage to avoid any fatalities. 

After he finished reducing the tasers to their basic materials, Peter began creating his weapon. First, he went with the general design of a gun, similar to the Tasers, only larger for it held more functions now. He got rid of the tiny gas tank that shot the needles, for he doesn't need it anymore, but kept the needles and the pin that the tank used. The replaceable and chargeable battery function were useful, so he kept those mostly intact. Connecting the batteries to voltage control unit, he brought in the wire welder and began making himself a weapon for self defence.

Time Skip:

Later that evening, Peter came out of the lab with his new weapon. The weapon resembled a gun with a large, rectangular cylinder that ended with four needles at the end, one on each corner. A dial with a glowing center was at the side of the weapon.

Checking over the weapon as he headed to the main hall, the Scientist ran into the resident Martian of the base. "Oh, hey, Peter. What do you have there?" M'gann asked as she noticed the weapon in his hands.

"It's something I made for self defence," Peter answered as he kept walking with M'gann deciding to follow.

"Are you planing to test it?" The Martian guessed, seeing no other reason for the scientist to bring out the weapon.
