You have not reached Tony Stark. Clearly. Leave a message and I'll get back to you if I feel like it.Text | Calls | Video | Email

He's not exactly as brilliant as Mr. Stark or anything, he knows, but he'll work on it. There's always room for getting better. So he doesn't hesitate to start tapping calculations that alter the current canister design.]
I don't think weight should be a problem, since I've got the enhanced strength. The ones I have now are practically not there, which I know was kind of what you were going for, right? Making suits as durable as possible while being as light as possible?
... But I can handle a little extra weight in the webshooters if it means cutting time to get where I need to be.
[............. And now a bit more uncertain, because he can't help but second-guess:]
Do you think so?
no subject
What does it matter what I think? It's your gear, you tell me.
[Sure he'd designed the suit, but that was because he had the time and the resources to manage something better than Peter's hold hoodie. He spreads his hands out a little as he gives Peter a look that's not quite puzzled.]
This isn't a test. I'm genuinely looking for feedback here, because if I tried to do what you do, I'd probably break a hip. So I can't know what works better for you.
[Well okay, he could probably map it and make some educated guesses. But that's not quite the same thing.]
no subject
[Oh my god, Tony's trusting him with this kinda thing. This is intensely beyond anything he's gotten to do with equipment like this (outside of, um, removing trackers and stuff, but we don't talk about that snafu). He nods more confidently.]
I can handle heavier webshooters, if it makes the webshooting distance longer.
[He taps in some calculations with a more steady hand.]
And maybe make have a way to adjust the eyes to darker tints instead of only just being able to slit, because there are certain times of the day where there's way too much light filtering through — it's not really that bad for other people, but it can be a really painful glare if I'm up high without any cover.
[Imagine looking towards the sun when you're swinging through the city, with dialed 11 senses, y'know?]

[And Tony's just got his arms folded now, watching Peter work things through with a look of faint bemusement. He's not entirely sure how they've ended up here, but it's not like Tony minds. Getting to work with someone with a different perspective is always a pleasure, and Peter's a quick kid.]
It's not really weight I'm worried about. You put more pressure into those things and eventually they're going to explode no matter what they're made of. Unless you happen to have some vibranium lying around.
no subject
Mr. Stark. Vibranium webshooters.
[Look what you're doing, you're putting things in his head.]
no subject
[Important engineering lesson -- gotta work with what you have. Or invent something new, but that's the advanced course.]
Why don't we try to look at something better than pressurized?
no subject
Something better than pressurized. There's something better than pressurized?
[And so, the brave young buck and older bundle of anxiety and beard have started a brave new trek for better spider suits. And here you thought this was gonna be just mending a sleeve, huh? This is gonna be a lot of used paper (don't even judge him for writing things down, he focuses better on paper).
... Either way, he's passed out at a desk covered in schematics in a few hours.]
