After his talk with Venice, Will sprinted all the way to Queens, using his speed to get him there faster. Thankfully no one noticed him running that fast, because he didn't have time to explain himself to anyone. He had to go to Peter, to talk to him about his behavior after all he's done for the curly haired boy who had caused him nothing but trouble. He didn't know if Parker would forgive him for his attitude, but he did know that at the rate he was going, he'd be at his mentor's house in about two hours. Sure it'd be faster if he swung, but he couldn't risk someone remembering that he was down the alley and suddenly, out of nowhere, Spider-Man showed up. So running was the best option.

After what seemed like an eternity, the curly haired boy made it all the way to Queens, reaching the neighborhood Peter lived in. He was pretty tired from all the running and began to slow down, walking since he was so close to the Parker residence anyway. Thankfully, there was still plenty of sun out there for him as he was arriving to Peters house, and stepped up to the door. He then knocked on the door, waiting for Peter to answer.

Peter slowly walked towards the door, using his cane to help himself. He opens the door to see Will, his eyes widened in shock at the sight of his protege. "Kid- erm...Will......you're okay....." He said slightly shocked before his look went from relief to anger. "Do you have any idea how worried I was about you after I heard about your recent run in with Heinguard?! You didn't even call me I thought you were dead! You could've at least let me kno-" Before Peter could finish his scolding, Will embraced him in a tight hug, surprising the retired hero. "Okay....what's this for....?"

The rookie superhero looked up at Peter, a look of guilt in his eyes. "I'm sorry......I said things I shouldn't have, and pushed you away.....I was just.....just so mad, the thought of Heinguard hurting my mom and siblings, not being able to do anything.....it clouded my judgement, made me more furious until I just .....I just did stupid things....."

Parker wrapped an arm around Will, patting his back to soothe and relax his mentor. "Hey, I get it kid.....I've been there too......just......don't leave me hanging like that again....okay?" Peter requested gently yet firmly. He could feel Will nodding his head. "Good....now, c'mon in. I'll get you something to eat, we can discuss some things, and form a plan."

When they got in the house, Peter comes in, holding a bowl of clam chowder for Will. "Here, something to build up your strength." He said before going to his computer as Will ate. "Now, let's hear what you think on this."

As Will ate, he began thinking about what he experienced with his fight with Heinguard the most recent time. "Well, it definitely enhancing his already impressive abilities up to a twenty. It's got a lot of weapons on it, but it's heavier duty than the normal armor Fisk's Fists have." Will explained the best he could.

Peter nodded his head in approval. "Very good. It's a mixture of the same material Tony uses for his suits with some other metals, such as titanium, steel, and something relatively new called Memory Metal. It's capable of shaping itself to be anything it wants. Knowing Heinguard, he still has yet to figure that out yet." He explained to Will. "However, there's also a structural weakness in that suit I was able to discover. After you shocked it, not only did the suit permanently bond with him on a biological level, it connected certain pain to him. Meaning that specific types of pain the suit earns...."

"Then Heinguard will feel it too..... specifically electrical shocks!" Will shouted in realization. He couldn't believe he didn't figure it out sooner. It made so much sense that would be the key. "If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna need to boost the power of the electric webs. I can do that, but it'll take some time......can you find him in the meantime?" He then asked his mentor.

Without hesitation, Peter stretched his fingers out, popping them and started typing. "Already on it. You just eat and get to work." He ordered his protege as he started his search. His first part in his search was to find anything that gave off powerful sources of energy uses, and narrowed the search to be more specific for what he was searching for. He knew it's take some time, but he knew Will would have plenty of work on his hands. As he saw Will starting to work on his web shooters, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the curly haired boy. All the work he was putting into this to improve himself..... not just as Spider-Man, but as himself as Will Richardson. Meeting him, seeing his growth from an angry, impulsive and impatient boy, to a humble, confident, strong and capable young man who's potential has only grown....who changed his perspective on Spider-Man as a whole.

Meanwhile, Will was working on his web shooters, examining on their overall functionality. "Okay in order to add in a higher voltage for electric webs, I just need to rework some wires in here....." He mumbled to himself, working on the wires he was talking about. However, he had another idea in mind as he started his work. If he could get this done, he could potentially combine his electric webs with his other modes for his web shooters.... impact webs with an electrical surprise, his multi web each with electricity, razor webs that can shock foes or cut stronger wires, the possibilities seemed endless. So he started to try that out. "In order to add that, just gotta move these wires here, amplify some of the power output here..... increase the coolant system in my web shooters like this...." He continued to mumble to himself while deep in concentration.

When Peter glanced at Will next to take a short break, he could see him so hard at work, and hear him mumbling something. He must've had a plan and found out how to improve his web shooters further.....yet again, the retired hero was impressed by his protege. Could it be that the student did indeed surpass the master? In Peter's mind, he was another step closer to doing so. 'Im amazed at you kid....and so proud.....keep growing.....' He thought to himself with a gentle smile. Not long after thinking this, the computer started flashing, showing the results of their target. "Found him. He's heading toward Harlem.....just remember kid. Don't let him get to you." He advised the best he could.

Will nodded as he took off his civilian clothes, only to reveal his iconic Spider-Man costume, and sliding his mask on his face. "I'll do my best to get to remember that.....I just gotta keep him away from mom." He said, sounding more prepared for the fight to come. With that, he jumps out a window and fires a web from his newly upgraded web shooters, which were working just fine, if not better than before. The curly haired boy was definitely more focused this time, knowing that he was more prepared to take down Heinguard, and have him arrested for his many crimes.
