Bab 143: Chapter 140
I couldn't synthesis my own metal, not even close. But I did have the basis for a metallurgy formula which should create an element that rivals Wolverine's claws. If I could figure out what the missing ingredient was that is.
I then turned my attention to the alien's power source, a type of glowing stone that seemed to push out radiation like candy on halloween. It was the most radioactive element I knew, radioactive and still not too damaging to humans. Somehow the shell it was inside kept it from killing everything in sight. Only an external source of radiation could startle it, making it go boom!
I did manage to reverse engineer the tech, figuring out how it ticked. I was able to synthesis, with Reed's help of course, a way to make these battery cells. But unfortunately the result was disappointing. The rocks we produced gave out a quarter of the amount of energy an aline cell did.
Reed wasn't disappointed though, he was thrilled, he said he would keep working on this technology, it could mean the difference between humanity's extension or ascendance, or something in that light.
I also took a crack a what allowed them to levitate, though it seemed to somehow involve their glowing purple rocks which served as a power source and a levitation assistant. I couldn't really do much, it was after all alien tech I was dealing with, so for now I pushed them to the side.
Nat was relentless with my training, it seems Fury had made improving my fighting skills a number one priority. Training lasted for hours, one time it lasted a day as Nat wanted to see how long I could go without food or sleep, needless to say I impressed her with my stamina.
I did begin learning more of what it meant to be a spy. Nat finally decided it was time to teach me the delicate art of espionage. How to track someone without them knowing, how to spy on people and find out exactly what they didn't want you to know.
It was difficult work to be honest, I honestly didn't like it, but it had to be done. I needed to be ready, for anything and everything.
A few weeks after the alien invasion the city was finally starting to recover. I found myself having to go out as Spider-man less and less now, people finally started to get their shit together. And so I decided it was time I took on a new personal project.
I had decided if I had a freaking DeLorean in my garage it was best that I actually used it. But it would need some upgrades, luckily I knew just the man who could help me with it.
I called Johnny and told him I needed his help bringing my new ride up to date. He was more than happy to help. I drove the car to the Baxter building parking lot where he was waiting for me. The moment he saw the DeLorean his jaw dropped.
"What?!" he gawked. I stepped out and smiled, he turned to me, "what?!"
"Yeah, I know."
"How?!"
"It was my dad's," I shrugged, "my uncle gave it to me on my birthday. Figured it needed to be in the family. But it's honestly a piece of junk, think you can help me out?"
"Are you fucking kidding me?! You want me to help trick out a DeLorean?!" Johnny screamed.
"So...is that a no?"
"Yes! It's a freaking yes! A hundred times yes!" his eyes practically sparkled. We loaded the car up into an industry sized elevator they had installed for Ben. But when the lift opened up into the top floor we realised it was going to be difficult getting it into Johnny's lab.
"Hey rock head!" Johnny called out, "we need your help!"
"Don't call me that matchstick! Or next time-" Ben stopped as he stared at the car, "Johnny, why do you have a time machine in the lift?"
I grinned, "it's mine. I asked Johnny to help pimp it up for me. Think you can give us a lift?"
Ben nodded as he gently picked up the car and walked into Johnny's lab, tilting the car so that it could fit through the door.
Johnny had already cleared out the middle of his lab, arranging various tools and other pieces of tech around the car. Ben stepped aside and Johnny quickly pulled up the car's blueprints on his computer screen.
"The DeLorean, a sports car manufactured by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company for the American market from 1981–83," Jonny began, "The car features gullwing doors and an fiberglass body structure with a steel chassis, external stainless steel body panels. It became widely known and iconic for its appearance, and it was modified to represent the concept of a time machine in the Back to the Future media franchise."
"But it was a piece of junk," Ben recalled, "it kept breaking down all the time. People hated it, the only reason it's so popular is because of the Back to the Future movies."
"Yeah, who doesn't want a time machine," Johnny nodded as he looked at the car, "I'll be honest Pete, I don't really know what I can do. I mean, it's engine is shit, the gearbox even more so. The chassis is basically paper mache, and the design, while iconic, isn't exactly aerodynamic. I can see the places where you dad made some changes, the back seats are a nice touch, but it honestly isn't worth buying new parts."
