Chapter 105 - New Lining (3 In 1 Chapter) (1/2)
The first thing Peter saw when he opened his eyes was the silver lining that rimmed his lenses. A small holographic readout appeared in the corner of his eye as a marker with Shuri's name popped up for a second before disappearing. His eyes shifted to her form for a second before moving back to the mirror.
He focused a bit more on the lenses and was surprised when his lenses also seemed to narrow. 'Photo lenses which readjust?' The thought popped into his head as he looked at the mask that covered his face.
Like he already noticed his eyes were the usual white, but silver rimmed instead of black. The silver blended into black as it connected to the other lines that traveled the rest of the mask, connecting to the rest of his body.
What Peter found weird as he traced the lines that ran his body was the fact they were depressed in the suit as if engraved on it or more like an indent throughout it. This was a major change from the usual pronounced lines that framed the suit and stood out from it.
Looking at the web pattern for a few more seconds Peter took in a few of the other changed details he could see at first glance. No big changes could be seen from his past mask other than the facts stated before.
The mask ran down to a slightly more pronounced neck line, which Peter realized was where his new necklace would have sat. Following the line down, it curved perfectly to the center of his chest where the previous spider pendant had become the new symbol in the middle of his chest.
The color seemed to have bled out of the pendant leaving it blackish silver and unlike the rest of the web pattern, stood out from his body. Moving down from the neck line was a more advanced design of his previous suit. Still containing the Red and Blue design of the past, the red dominated the middle of his chest and his arms, running down his forearm to his hands, while the underside of his arms kept the blue pattern. Leading from his chest, the red color went all the way down to his waist before turning blue for his pants leading down to his feet before it turned red once again for his boots.
Though red dominated the center of his chest region, blue dominated his obliques and the underside of his arms causing Peter to smile. It was the exact same color pallet from his old suit. Unlike the old suit the materials that made up his new one were obviously better.
Gone was the homemade feel that came with cheaper fabrics and now Peter marveled at the intricate way the, what he assumed was vibranium, weaved together on himself. The suit while looking more metallic and sleeker somehow didn't look too high tech.
If he were to say it, Peter thought it looked like mesh or Kevlar that covered his body instead of what he guessed was some type of liquid metal. It did solidify in places such as his forearms producing a more solid look, but the rest looked soft to the touch.
These places included his boots and gloves looking more solid and a separate part of the suit while still keeping an air tight connection, as well as a sort of belt that went around his waist. Peter could just feel the small bumps on his wrist that denoted the fact it already incorporated web shooter which slightly surprised him. 'Well I guess Shuri and Crystal would have thought of everything.'
Looking a bit closer with his eyes, he noticed around the chest area the same ancient Wakandan symbols he saw on the pendant but spread out. They were very small but still noticeable as they weaved around his body.
Peter gripped his fingers once or twice as he felt the new suit on his body. Surprisingly he could still feel the grip of his hand, something that was muffled in his old suit, but he had made due as he couldn't make the material thinner.
But with the new suit, he felt none of that; it was almost as if he didn't have gloves on at all. 'Was it a transferred feeling or is the suit thin in the soles of the feet and hands?' Peter finally stopped looking at himself and turned to Shuri, who hadn't said a word yet.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Peter not finding the words to express what he was feeling at that second. Finally he just shook his head and gave a small smile as he looked at her. ”Ok then, what did you jam pack into this bad boy?”
Shuri returned a bigger smile as she heard the playfulness in his voice. Motioning for him to turn to the mirror again she stood up next to him and started to speak explaining the features of the suit. ”Well this bad boy as you put it is called the Wakandan Spider-S. S for Shuri of course. Not as original as I would like, but I thought we could think of a better name later.”
Peter returned her smile and nodded his head as she went on. ”First of Crystal if you wouldn't mind, I would like to speak to him face to face. ”Peter's eyes raised slightly as the read out he was suddenly reading disappeared before his very eyes and he watched as his mask seemed to turn into dust and travel down his body, moving to rest inside the pendant on his chest.
Shuri gave a small smirk at the surprised expression on his face before he schooled his features. ”If you couldn't tell already I made this bad boy out of bleeding edge technology, even in Wakandan standards. Sure we have Nano tech but this stuff is Vibranium Nano tech. What you just saw were millions of Nano-bots disassembling and returning back to their charging base. Aka, the Pendant.”
Peter looked down at the pendant on his chest as he watched the last of the dust disappear. ”To create the Vibranium Nano tech was harder than I would have liked. As with Adamantium, to create such minuscule processors and programming with just vibranium was particularly impossible, even with our resources. It takes forever to make them, I've only been able to produce enough to get your suit ready and one for my brother, though I been trying to upgrade them so my brothers suit isn't done yet.”
Shuri motioned to the necklace on the Black Panther mannequin behind them. ”Though yours won't have everything that I'm working on right now, it still has more than enough of the basic functions and perks. First off...”
She trailed off for a second as she walked over to the side to pick up a small steel dagger, that for the life of him Peter had no clue how he missed it and before he could do anything she had already walked back over and stabbed him with said dagger.
Peter thought to move out of the way, but his spider sense didn't go off so he watched to see what would happen. On contact with his side the dagger stopped in place and didn't move. Though it didn't break Peter could just catch some damage to the tip of the blade. If Shuri were to continue stabbing him the tip would easily break.
”Being made completely of vibranium, the suit is practically indestructible. As you know vibranium absorbs kinetic energy as it comes into contact with it and is strong in and of itself, this means that bullets, explosions, knives, swords. Most of all of them won't do any damage to you. The only thing that could possible damage this suit would be Adamantium or other Vibranium based weapons...but Wakanda is the only one with weapons like that.”
Peter gave a small nod as his fingers brushed over where he had been stabbed. He felt nothing from the action and there was no scratch to the suit. ”Moving on.” Shuri put the dagger away as she pulled up a holo-screen in front of herself.
”Because of the Nano-bots programming, something both Crystal and I worked on, you could potentially with enough of them create other construct while using the suit, so long as the design and inner workings of whatever you create is done properly, but I wouldn't suggest doing that.”
She pulled a small hologram of the necklace up for Peter to look at. ”I was a bit restricted with the size of the pendant and necklace. I put as many Nano-bots as I could in the links of the necklace and chucked a ton of them into the pendant, aka why its a bit heavier than usual, though that shouldn't matter much. What does matter is the fact that I only had enough to cover your mass as well as a bit for self repair.”
She held up her hand as she flipped the screen for Peter to see clearly. ”If and I mean IF, someone was to damage the suit all the effected Nano-bots would basically be destroyed and cannot be replaced. The system will then take from the existing reserves to repair itself. Of course afterwards you would have to come back here to get some new ones....But as I said it shouldn't really ever get damaged.”
Peter nodded his head as he looked at the screen. His eyes drifted over some of the specs that the Nano-bots possessed. They all came equipped with self sustaining energy sources, something possible with Wakandan technology and vibranium, as well as a secure connection to certain satellites and data ports so that they can receive updates to programming and information collection.
”As you can see, the suit can connect to the internet as well as cross reference all databases that are out there. You can thank Crystal for that, basically it's a better system than Iron –man's suit...on that subject...” Shuri trailed off and before Peter knew it his helmet was back on. ”...With this connection comes something else you'll love, but I'll let her tell you.”
”What?” Not understanding what she was getting at Peter's voice had just fallen, when a new voice reached his ear. ”Well it's simple Peter, I am now the AI of the suit and will better be able to aid you in your endeavors.”
The bell like voice of Crystal sounded in his ear, startling Peter for a second. But his mind quickly accepted the fact. As Shuri said it was exactly like Iron-Man's suit and his connection to his own servers. He shouldn't have been surprised that Shuri and Crystal had implemented such a perk.
Actually Peter was happy about Crystal watching his back, it would just be like using the normal comms device, only better. ”Good.” Peter nodded his head while Shuri decided to continue while his mask was still up.
