Incredible Spider

Chapter 16: Edna

It's been about a week or two since I got back from the island, I was about to just up and throw my old suit away and start all over again. That was when Bob drove up to me on my way home from school. He had a black t-shirt that fit him fairly loose.

He took my advice and went to lose weight. I mentally noted as I got into the car with him.

"So...you know someone who can make super suits? Proper super suits?" I asked.

"Yep. Although, be prepared to suspend your disbelief," He warned as we drove.

"No matter who this person is, I'll be astonished," I stated. We soon approached a mansion that had a...laser security gate?

Okay...That's...odd? I noted to myself. A voice came through on the radio by the gate.

"Do you have an appointment?" The voice asked.

"I'm an old friend. I just wanted-"

"All visitors are required to make an appointment-" Suddenly another voice interrupted the first voice. This new voice sounded feminine.

"Get out! Go go check the electric fence or something. What is it? Who are you? What do you want?" The new voice asked. Bob showed his face to the camera and then I decided to lean forward to show myself.

"My god you've gotten fat, and whose the boy?" She asked.

"Another friend," Bob stated. She opened the gate for us and we drove up to this elaborate mansion and we both got out of the car. I had my webshooters on my wrists.

"Robert darling! What did I tell you?! I don't do tours!" I heard as the lady walked out to greet us. She was up to my knee and she had these thick rim circular classes.

"He's not here for a tour. Show her your suit, Peter," Bob told as he nudged me forward. I held up my red and blue suit, the lady had this look on her face that just showed how shocked she was. Her look of shock then quickly turned to a look of excitement.

"Robert! Why did you not tell me the boy was a super?! Come in! Come in!" She quickly greeted as we both walked in.

"Boy. My name is Edna Mode. Let me see this suit of yours," Edna quickly asked as she walked in front of us, I gave her my torn suit and she examined it.

"Boy is this just spandex?!" Edna asked in shock and anger.

"Gymnastic grade, yes," I confirmed. Edna began looking at my mask and she then noticed the technology inside it.

"Did you build this yourself?" Edna asled me.

"Yep. Not much, but I built it myself," I confirmed once again.

"What are those things on your wrists?" Edna asked as she turned to me and pointing at my webshooters.

"Webshooters that I built myself. They contain a special adhesive compound that I made myself. It's more or less identical to spider silk in terms of chemical composition," I explained. Edna examined my equipment and took my webshooters off of my wrists.

"You have a brilliant mind. I will need to consult one of my associates. The suit? I can fix. No, rebuild! The equipment though? I'll need to send to Tony," Edna explained.

"My web fluid too?" I asked.

"I know a person that is good with chemistry," Edna reassured.

"Now you. You tore through Megamesh! What are you doing Robert? Going into hero work again?" Edna asked.

"E. I just need a patch job," Bob said plainly, handing Edna his old suit. She muttered something to herself and dumped his suit into the trash.

"Maybe something like Dynaguy? With the cape and the boot-"

"No capes!" Edna interrupted.

"Yeah I have to agree with Edna here. Do you have any idea how many hazards capes pose?" I added.

"See? The boy is smart! No capes! Period!" Edna stated firmly.

"I will have your suit ready before your next assignment Robert. As for you, boy? Your suit will be sent to Robert's house," Edna said.

"Uh...okay?" I said unsure. We both left Edna's home and we both got into Bob's car and drove off.

"So..fashion designer makes supersuits...why does that not make sense yet does make sense?" I asked, turning to Bob.

"Duh. Why else would Supers wear such flashy outfits?" Bob replied simply.
