Kapitel 57: Chapter 56
I went home at day and waited until nightfall to come back to the Expo. It was empty, the people had all packed it in for the night. I was about to go in and get the items I stashed away when I saw a figure standing on a rooftop overlooking the destroyed expo.
I recognized her immediately, I could know that silver hair anywhere. I landed on the roof behind her startling her to my precise, "hey Cat, fancy seeing you here."
"Spider," the Black Cat nodded, "what are you doing here?"
"I was helping them clear out the wreckage in the morning, I left a few supplies behind. And you?"
"I...I was here last night," Felicia admitted sounding more scare than I have ever seen her before, "my friend and I...we almost died."
"I'm sorry that happened," I apologized.
"Where were you? Aren't you supposed to be a freaking hero or something? Isn't that what you always say? I'm a lowly thief and you're the gallant hero?" she spat out.
She was angry, I knew that, so I let her have that one, "I was on the other side of the city helping where I could. By the time I heard what happened...I really regret not getting here on time."
"So is that why you helped clean out the place? Because you felt guilty?" the Black Cat all but demanded and answer.
"No, not really. I can take the guilt, I did it because I knew it was the right thing to do. People needed help so I helped them. There isn't a deeper meaning for why I do the things I do, I just do."
"Then you're a bigger fool than I thought," Felicia told me.
"Sorry to disappoint you," I shrugged.
Silenced came down on us for a long time. I knew she had more to say so I just waited, keeping silent.
She finally did speak, "there's a guy who was with me. I...I didn't think much of him, he was interesting enough but that day….he saved me. He saved all of us."
I raised an eyebrow, was she talking about me? Oh yeah, she was! I coughed, "so ah, that's nice."
"He's the real hero, not you."
I winced at her tone of voice but shrugged it off, "maybe, he is. What's he like?"
"Kind, he tries to act aloof but I see right through him," she smiled. Right, you can totally see right through me, that's why you have no idea I'm standing right next to you. "He's smart, like scary smart, I almost feel like sometimes I can't even hope to keep up with him. He's brave and loyal and….a great kisser."
I smiled under the mask, "hey, if you like him so much why don't you ask him out?"
Cat looked me and smiled, "maybe I will. Bye Spider, try not to be late next time the world needs saving." She left, jumping from roof to roof. I'll admit, for a girl with no super powers she sure can run.
I went down into the expo to grab the stuff I hide away and swung back home, sneaking into the basement. Everyone was asleep, time to have some fun.
I took a look at what I had. Two forearms from a Navy drone and an Army drone, two arc reactors that have been shut off and one leg from a drone until I couldn't identify. It wasn't much, but it would be enough.
I began first with the arc reactors. I needed to find out how they worked. I knew two things, one, it was radioactive, I knew as much since Tony was dying from having it inside his body for so long. And the other, it can produce high amounts of energy.
It took me all night, I think it was around 4 in the morning when I finally began to understand what Tony had built. The radioactive material would first break down and be spun around to collide into themselves.
It means there are charged particles moving in a circle, contained by a magnetic field. High-energy particles usually have high energy because they're moving very fast, and magnetic fields can curve the motion of charged particles. Curving the particles' motion into a circle keeps them in one place long enough to get them to collide.
This also produced gamma rays as a result of the molecules colliding and releasing a loose neutron. There was a complex radioactive decay going on inside the arc reactor itself, one that I was just starting to understand.
This in the end increase the motion of the magnetic field, alternating it as the lose neutrons began to move around. This in turn cause the magnetic superconductive wire to generate high amount of alternating current.
I finally put down the arc reactor and sighed, rubbing my head. I'm so glad it's Sunday because I'm exhausted. I hide the 'acquired' items away. I could fit the arc reactors in the loose floor board I used to hide stuff, but the others were too big. So I just shoved them into storage. Ben and May rarely come down here so it was relatively safe.
I slept until noon and got up exhausted. I wanted to go back down to get back to work but when I did I found Anna and MJ sitting int the living room, chatting with May and Ben.
"Morning guys, how've you been?" I asked yawning.
"Ah, so he finally stirs," Ben chuckled, "morning champ, up late?"
"Yeah, working on a new project," I admitted freely, "hopefully I can get it to work."
"Peter, why don't you take MJ and talk to her for a while. Anna, Ben and I have something to discuss," May oh so subtly pushed MJ my way.
"Ah, right, come on MJ, I need to get something to eat," I grumbled walking to make myself some cereal.
MJ sat next to me watching me munch down on my brunch. "So ah, you and Felecia huh?"
I shrugged, "I don't know."
"You don't know? What do you mean you don't know?"
