As they walked through Harlem without their unique abilities showing, Ezikiel and his gang were heading out to search for a very specific gang's territory......for them, it was time to gain the respect of any rival gangs that would stand in their way, whether it was with fear, or with a battle that they'd inevitably win with their newfound cybernetics....but before they went off to go find their rivals, Ezikiel went towards one of their other hangouts, grabbing whatever snacks they had in order to recharge. They did just get out of a big battle with Spider-Man after all......there was always tomorrow anyway. Maybe then the web head wouldn't be able to find them.
With Peter, he was waiting patiently for his protege to come back, seeing him enter from the window. "How do you feel after that fight with those metal heads?" The retired hero asked, slightly concerned about what he experienced.
Will lands next to him, rubbing his left shoulder. "Those guys were definitely familiar. I think I've run into them even before I became Spider-Man. They definitely fight with some impressive skills......" He explained as he stretched out his sore body. "I still gotta stop them though. Otherwise the Wrecking Crew will cause more damage that might not be fixable...." He added on, slightly mocking the foes he just fought.
Peter sat the curly haired boy down on the couch. "Don't worry about that right now. Even if you do have your healing factor now, you could still use a break for now. Let me pull up something on them." He ordered with gentle authority before typing on his computer, pulling out files on the six individuals Will fought against. "This is them yeah?"
The rookie superhero looked up at the computer screen, and immediately recognized them. "Yeah....yeah I knew that I've seen them before..... Ezikiel and his crew were a decent struggle before they got the stuff they got now....." He said while trying to figure out what exactly was the source of their newfound abilities.
"Tungsten.....a fairly durable metal. It used to be pretty rare several years ago, but as of 2029, the stuff has been popping up in massive quantities. They must've used the metal in thick amounts to make their cybernetics even stronger." Parker theorized while doing extra amounts of research.
The rookie hero nodded his head in understanding. "I'm willing to bet the man that's mass producing the metal and put it in their bodies is our fine and outstanding mayor of New York?" He asked knowingly.
The older male nods his head in agreement. "Most likely, but even if that's correct, we can't bring him in without the proper evidence, and as we know, that man knows how to hide evidence against him, and turn it around on someone else." He explained while turning his attention to the young Richardson boy. "But in the meantime, those six are the primary threat to eliminate, and you need to find a way to defeat them individually, instead of in a group like that." He then says plainly.
"That's impossible. They're always together, so trying to split them up is a lost cause." Will tells Peter while trying to think of a new plan.
The retired superhero ponders what his protege was saying. That was an interesting point to bring up..... especially since he has faced them before they acquired this technological upgrade. "Tightly knit group eh.....? Those are typically tough to beat.... do you have any other ideas?" He then asked, waiting for the young man's opinion.
Hearing the question, Will couldn't help but be surprised and a little humbled. After all, this was the previous Spider-Man he was talking to. Surely with his experience, he'd have something in mind......but no. It was up to him..... "Okay? Well uhh.......I just need to find any sort of weaknesses in their attacks for starters....maybe even try to jam some of their tech with my webbing....." He says out loud while pondering ideas in his mind.
Peter couldn't help but listen to the curly haired boy as he started racking his brain for any plans. This truly showed just how dedicated he was to being Spider-Man, and his goal of saving New York. "You best hurry up and stop them. I guarantee you that they'll be after any one of the gangs." He ordered gently.
