25 Chapter 25

Chapter 25

After lunch, I went to my first training session with the team. Thanks to the two imbeciles being absent, the training session went quite smoothly. And thanks to the physical activity, I was able to calm down. But I couldn't talk to Gwen, it felt like she was avoiding me on purpose.

When I got home from school, the first thing I did was to research the information of Shch.I.T.A. in order to ask for everything I needed.

Unfortunately for me, they didn't have much that was useful to me. Outdated mini-reactors like the one Tony used to use, which I have, and a lot of Chitauri technology.

It took me three hours to research and compile a list that included durable synthetic fabrics, micro-camera tracking bugs, and a few other things I'll use to build my own equipment. After double-checking everything a couple times, I finally decided to call Daisy and make my demands.

- What do you want? - The girl's voice sounded a little annoyed, instead of the usual greeting, when I called her.

- I guess I called at a bad time, huh?

- Yes, you interrupted my relaxing vacation in the bathroom with a bottle of wine, so tell me why you called. - At the sound of her voice, I immediately imagined her rolling her eyes in annoyance, but then my mind was filled with scenes of Liz's naked body superimposed on the scene Daisy described. It was like Liz was lounging in the foam right now under my hot gaze.

- Awww, are you here or what? - Daisy's voice came again, more impatiently.

- I'm sorry, I've been thinking. So why did you call? I've made a list of things I need, but I haven't found a powerful reactor like Tony Stark's, and I need the metal that makes up Captain America's shield! - I quickly voiced my demands, tossing my list around.

- Well, about the reactor you can forget, because we do not have such geniuses as Tony Stark, and those that you saw, we so to speak "privatized" it from Tony. And about the metal, I'll contact Fury and check with him, I hope that's all? - said the girl impatiently.

- Yes, that's it... - I had to say those words out of my mouth when the phone started ringing with the end of the call.

From such, my eye began to twitch nervously, and I decided to teach this rude girl a lesson someday....

As night fell and Aunt May fell asleep. I left the house, now through the balcony, and went to "patrol" New York, hoping to meet Gwen and talk to her.

After flying around the city for a while, I finally saw Gwen. Except she was dressed completely differently. Instead of the usual white and pink costume, she was wearing a black one, with elements of pink and white. And to be honest, it looked a bit creepy.

- Gwen, we need to talk! - I landed next to her as she looked out over the city from the roof of a high-rise.

- What do you want, Peter? We have nothing to talk about! - Gwen didn't even bother to look in my direction, and that made me a little angry.

- Are you mad at me for kissing Liz? It wasn't my fault, she just jumped on me out of the blue! Don't be a bitch Gwen! - I said in annoyance.

- I'm a bitch, aren't I? - She finally turned to me.

- If I'm a bitch, then don't talk to me and don't come near me at all! I thought you were different after everything you said. And you turned out to be just another scumbag who throws himself at all the pretty girls.

- Uh, don't be ridiculous!

- Bullshit!? It would be nonsense if our abilities weren't similar, Peter. We both know our reaction times, and if you didn't want to, Liz couldn't kiss you.

- So even amongst acquaintances, you remain vigilant, huh? What a stupid excuse, you couldn't think of anything more original, could you Gwen?!

- I don't need your excuses, I've already made up my mind. Next time, don't come near me or talk to me at all. Or I'll show you what happens to pathetic liars like you! - Gwen jumped off the roof and started to run away from me at an incredible speed. She was much faster than me, and that surprised and discouraged me incredibly. And I wondered how she had developed it, and if the rest of her abilities were enhanced as well.

But it wasn't that that bothered me, it was her harsh cold attitude. Had it made her so angry that she didn't want to know me now?

It made me so angry, so angry that I wanted someone strong to appear in front of me so I could kick his ass. But unfortunately, there was no one, so I went to take my anger out on the petty criminals.....

It's been a few days. I tried to contact Gwen several times, but she blocked my number and always avoided me. It gave me incredible heartache, but at some point I realized that it was pointless to chase after people who hated you. So I decided to try to forget about her like a bad dream. Especially with the stuff Daisy brought me.

- Look, the metal that was used in Cap's shield is called Vibranium. It was the only metal available at the time, although it's out of our control now, too.

- What do you mean, out of our control? Like it can't be created or something? - I asked skeptically.

- Yes and no, it's not that simple. Here, take a look at these files. - She handed me a tablet with all the information on it.

As it turned out, there is Vibranium only in Wakanda, a country in North-East Africa. At first glance, it's just an ordinary third-world country, but according to Sh.I.T.A., their secrets are hidden under an incredibly powerful barrier. Which serves to both protect and conceal. So S.I.T.A. has almost no information about them, only that they are incredibly advanced in the field of technology, and all thanks to this miracle metal, which they do not share with anyone.

- Well, that's not good news. - I sighed, realizing that it would be incredibly difficult to extract this metal.

- Well, thanks for your trouble, Daisy. - I thanked the girl, and then took the bag with materials and went home....

I opened the Darknet and started searching for information about Vibranium. A few hours of searching yielded results. One person was willing to do the robbery for me. As it turns out, there are Wakanda relics in a secured museum that are made of pure Vibranium. And the man was willing to steal them for me for the symbolic sum of ten million dollars.

I immediately decided that I had to get this metal, and to pay for the services, I needed money, which of course my "favorite" sponsor would provide me....
