Web of Deception: The Webbed Avenger

Chapter Fifty-two: The Mk 2 Web Shooters

Wednesday, October 17th

"I need you to run and grab as much aconite as you can afford to spare." Stiles informed one of the botanists in the Helicarrier as he began work on his new web shooters.  It was going to be easier to use than his previous ones, and had more tricks to them.  If he had to wear them at all times, he wanted them to look like they belonged.

If he were to make this version of the devices better, he needed to make sure he wouldn't have to worry about accidental firing of the web shooters, so he devised a sensor that would react to the tendons contracting upon his middle and ring fingers closing on his hand.  The vertical wrist interface was something he needed to work as his initial trial with the new interface agitated his skin.  So he essentially shaved and smoothed the triggering notch.  On his hand he could have a clear, ultra thin pressure gauge that would extend from the shooter upon latching to his wrist, which would adhere itself like a second skin.  The sensor beneath his spray unit would react to the contracting tendons so to only fire when his middle digits were in the correct position.

There was also notches on the straps that acted as the carousel that changed out the web cartridges, which could now hold five times as much web fluid, which could be altered with a simple change of a button. If Stiles wanted to use taser webs, he could activate an electrical charge located in between the triggering notch and the carousel.  He could also with the triggering notch alter the density of the webs, and the spray pattern.  If he required two webs to come out of one web shooter, like per say if his right web shooter was destroyed and he needed to create a net of web if there was a car flying at him, he could make the web spray in two directions, and upon cutting the flow the two webs would combine into one single thread.

As he made it a bit smaller in size compared to his original ones, which were essentially watches he altered, these would be able to fit like a wristband of sorts.  He could wear them easily without any trouble, and nobody would notice as he could disguise the web shooters.  One little click and it would be on, all he would have to do is just make sure they were activated and go from there.

Stiles watched as the botanist brought in a large batch of aconite, or wolf's bane to be clear and set it on the table.  "Thank you very much.  I appreciate it.  I hope it wasn't too much trouble."

"Not at all." she smiled at him, before taking her leave as Stiles prepped to add it to the formula.  If Derek or any other werewolf thought they could break free from his webs, then they were in for a treat with his wolf's bane webbing.  Wolf's bane was still poisonous to humans, regardless of what television and other media might say.  Stiles knew it wasn't as bad to humans as it was werewolves, but enough ingestion or contact with it could cause deadly consequences.  So, he made sure he got the aconite into a sealed container, and reduced it to liquid, before combining it with his web formula.  Upon doing so, he noticed his web fluid now had a purplish tint to it, one which made it shine brighter than normal.

Good.  Let's see how you do against that Derek.  You wanna fight dirty, well... I'll fight dirty too.  I'll just fight in a smarter way than you.

Stiles would have to make sure the web was contacted with Derek or the werewolf long enough for the wolf's bane to start weakening them.  This was potent enough to cause a werewolf to pass out in a matter of a minute.

He got his web shooters formed, and decided to test them out in the training room.  Stepping into sight of a target, Stiles shot webs at it, one of them being a long thread which electrocuted it, turning the voltage up until he witnessed the target shaking.  It would stun his opponents for sure.

The wolf's bane webbing was didn't have the longevity as the normal formula so Stiles couldn't use it to swing or much of anything like that, only lasting about ten minutes compared to the normal two hours, but Stiles compensated it for the overall elastic strength, so it could act as a net or cocoon that would immobilize the werewolf.

Fury stepped into the room catching sight of Stiles' new web shooters and smiled.  "I see you've taken full advantage of the lab.  Was wondering when you would do that."

"Never had a chance to before.  Been too busy training, or was on a mission.  Had nothing to do today, so figured might as well."

"Looks like it paid off.  Seems your formula got improved as well."

"Some of it.  I got a trick up my sleeve for the next encounter with the Omega." Stiles informed him as he shut the web shooters off, and Fury watched as the red devices turned gray.  One wristband acted as a watch, and the other looked like a plain wristband.

"What's your suit going to be?  Red?"

"Something like that.  All I know is, red is going to be a part of it."

"Listen, kid... I know you wanna be there for when Captain Rogers wakes up, and I'm all for it.  They're expecting him to wake up in the next few days, so we're going to be getting you back to the States soon."

"Alright, anything change with my father?"

"No, still the same, I'm afraid." Fury shook his head, to which Stiles sighed, moving the hair back out of his face.  "You sure you don't want someone to cut your hair, Stilinski?"

"As I told Coulson and everyone else who's asked, I'm fine."

"That's fine, but you can drop the attitude.  It was a question."  Stiles rolled his eyes playfully to Fury, knowing that he would receive a single eye roll from Fury.  It was hard to tell when he rolled his eye though, the eye patch always threw him off.

Suddenly, there was a loud alarm that went off in Fury's coat, as he pulled out a device. 

"What's that?" Stiles asked, stepping forward.

"A distress call.  Well, Spider... looks like you're going back home early.  We have a situation."  Fury said with a grim tone, as Stiles' eyes turned pitch black as response.

"Tell them to get the jet ready.  Fill me in on the way there!" Stiles called out as he ran out of the room, and hurried to the lab to retrieve a new suit.

Hello everyone, how are you guys today?  This is a short chapter I know, but the next two chapters are going to be where we see Stiles start to actually embrace his Spidey destiny.  What is the situation in New York?  Who or what will Stiles encounter there?  What has been happening with the other characters?  Find out in the next chapter guys.  It's about to get epic!

P.S. I would like to announce that I am officially going to be doing a Spider-Verse story for this series, and will be teaming up with FreyaMason28 to create this story.  We will have the Stiles from her Spider-Man fic, The Spider that ran with wolves be included in the story, and we are excited to work on it in the future, but it is still a far road to reach there.

Check out her story, and until the next update guys!
