After Peter's final battle as the web spinning hero, he had hung up his webs for breaking the one rule he had as a superhero: never kill. after that he hadn't felt worthy of the costume ever again. but when he disappeared for sixteen years, a new bo...
As the night continued on, Will tossed and turned as if having a nightmare. A nightmare he couldn't truly wake up from......in his nightmare, he stands in a familiar living room......this was the living room of his father's home..... before he died......not long after, several familiar looking men with Fisk's Fists armor rush in, ready to take in his father. The curly haired boy was ready this time, running to attack those soldiers with his strength and agility. However, each punch he threw phased through the officers as if they were apparitions......he couldn't touch them ... because this was just a nightmare.......
Will watched helplessly as Heinguard walked up with a smirk, his pistol aimed at his father's chest.....more specifically where his heart was...... "No......god no......not again! Please don't make me watch this again!" He shouted with desperate urgency, pleading with anyone that would listen to end this madness.....but no one answered those prayers.......and Heinguard shot the man Will called father straight in the heart without hesitation.
The curly haired boy clutched his head, breathing heavily as if he was having a panic attack from what he was seeing.....but things only got worse...... because all he could see was Fish ruling New York with his police force walking through the city with more authoritarian tactics.....but even worse than that? Was the radiation supervillain he tried so hard to defeat......only this time, he was laughing as his mom and siblings sat helplessly, unable to escape the mighty villain due to fear. The realization hits the rookie superhero hard.....they would be next .....and he couldn't do anything to stop it......he was forced to watch as all three of them were incinerated by his mighty radiation blast.
Will immediately shot out of bed in a cold sweat, desperate to catch his breath......just a nightmare...... but.....at the same time.....a reminder of why he was fighting, why he became Spider-Man..... because of what happened to his dad....... because of what could happen to his mom, brother and sister......and thousands if not millions of others if he ever stopped or didn't become the web head. Of course his life wasn't perfect in the last several months.... but he always tried. He thinks back on all the good he's done......the people he has saved, the villains he defeated and put away, and most of all.....the people that still need him now.
The last thing that inspired the curly haired troublemaking boy was the words that not only Peter told him, and his mom also told him. How he was doing this to help people.,....how he takes on responsibility like his father did, and never gave up......that truly motivated him, getting him out of bed and gets dressed quickly. He had to get to Mr. Parker's house. Without hesitation, he quickly does his push-ups for his morning routine, gets showered, then gets dressed and runs down the stairs. "Mom I'm heading out! Mr. Parker needs me again!" He calls out frantically.
Ruby smiles, able to tell her son was back to being his usual motivated self. "Take care of yourself! Don't push yourself too hard!" She calls out cheerfully, feeling as if she made an impact on her son.
Will immediately starts the engine of his car, gets in and drives off to Queens as fast as he can. About 50 minutes later, he arrives to Queens, quickly parking in front of Peter's house and rushing inside in a hurry. "Mr. Parker!" He shouts out, his voice stronger, more determined.
The retired hero looks over at Will, a hint of surprise on his face. "Kid.......I was about to call you.....to see if you were holding up." He answered honestly, gesturing to his phone awkwardly.
Will nods his head. "Is my suit ready yet?.....New York needs its Spider-Man back out there. Especially with a guy like Nuclear out there." He said with determination.
The older male couldn't help but smile at his protege, pride showing at his determination. "Robert Steinfeld. A former delivery driver of all sorts of chemicals, isotopes and experiments. During his last job, he was exposed to chemical isotopes which his body absorbed a dangerous amount of, which turned him into a nuclear nightmare as you've seen....it seems Fisk is using him as his next weapon to take you down."
Will listens intently to his mentor about this new villain. "He didn't seem like he was all bad. Just trying to get his old life back.....but as the fight progressed, he seemed to mentally deteriorate in a way.... like his old personality seemed to disappear......do you have any idea what was in those isotopes?" He then asked, certain he knew the answer, but praying he was wrong.
Peter immediately types on his computer, showing the isotopes on screen. "A mixture of things. Including uranium, radium, mutegene-"
"There it is.......I hate it when I'm right....." Will mutters with a frustrated sigh. "It always comes back to Mutegene doesn't it.......but ...... regardless.....gotta defeat that guy somehow."
Peter smirks as he puts his hand on his protege's shoulders. "I think I got something that'll give you an advantage." He tells Will, guiding him into the backyard and towards a shed. "It took me a while, but after repairing your normal Spider-Man suit......I may have made one with a few...... modifications." He tells him as he opens the door. When he does, the curly haired boy sees a new Spider-Man suit just for him.
After almost five minutes, Will puts on the new suit, noticing how different it felt.....a heavier duty density, but still light enough for him to be mobile, enhanced web shooters like his normal ones with an upgrade, and a different color Spider in the chest. "This......this feels right........this is just what I need...." He said, stepping out to show Peter how he looked in it, his posture calm, composed and confident.

Peter smirks as he looks at Will up and down, seeing the sleek yet protective design. "As you know, this will be able to protect you from the radiation. Lead lined webs to deal with the radiation, much more resistant to radiation so any attacks he lands won't damage your suit, and a little bit of an extra kick to your punches thanks to the lead lined around the knuckles." He tells Will, proud of his work. "Figured you deserved an upgrade..why not this?"
Will nods with pride. "I appreciate it Mr. Parker.......I won't let you down with this." He said before web swinging away, feeling as if he was moving much much faster than before.....then again, maybe it was because of his newfound determination kicking in......
Whatever the reason, the retired superhero watched as he sees his protege swing off with such grace and agility, such speed and determination...... "You never do kid........you always find a way to make me prouder....." He muttered to himself before closing the shed door and then heading back inside the house. The two of them had their work to do. Peter himself monitoring Will from his position.....and Will having a supervillain to stop.
(Editor's note: so note on the new suit.....yes it is something to use for emergencies. A friend started drawing this suit saying it wasn't finished yet because of the coloring..... however it inspired me to make this canon as a radiation protection suit so...... credit to the guest artist I guess?..... anyway hope you're enjoying so far! :3)
