After Peter gave 2B Miss the order to protect Gwen, she immediately sprang into action, swiftly departing the laboratory. With the anti-gravity flight device installed in her body, she launched into the sky, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Watching 2B soaring freely, Felicia's face was filled with envy. Ever since she started following Peter, she had found herself constantly jealous. First, it was Gwen's Spider Silk launcher, and now it was 2B Miss's ability to fly. This feeling of being left behind was truly unpleasant.
They were all Peter's women—so why such unequal treatment?
What made it worse was that 2B Miss was a robot built by Peter himself. That only deepened Felicia's sense of loss. At that moment, Peter seemed to notice her disappointment.
He gently pulled her into his arms and lovingly kissed her forehead.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling envious because Gwen and 2B Miss have all these cool things?"
"So you noticed? I thought you didn't care," Felicia responded with a tinge of grievance in her voice.
"Of course I noticed. Not only did I notice, I kept it in mind." Peter smiled and gently pinched her cheek. "My precious cat, there's no need to feel jealous. What they have—you'll have too. In fact, yours will be even better."
Peter then pulled out a sleek box containing what he called the "marriage five golds."
Despite the name, these weren't traditional marriage tokens. They were a Nano Suit storage system that Peter had spent three days crafting. Since nanometer-scale particles are invisible to the naked eye, forming a full suit of battle armor required an impressive amount of nano-metal. When packed together, the total volume was about the size of a cigarette box—small compared to Iron Man's suit, but still too bulky to carry around conveniently.
So Peter had an idea. He transformed the nano-metal into five wearable items: a pair of earrings, bracelets, anklets, rings, and a choker. These accessories could be worn like regular jewelry but could transform into a powerful Nano Suit through brainwave activation.
For someone like Felicia, they doubled as fashion accessories and battle gear—a perfect combination.
"Rings? Bracelets? Earrings? Why are you giving me jewelry?" Felicia asked, confused, her face flushing as she misunderstood the gesture.
Even though there isn't a direct equivalent of "marriage five golds" in Western culture, rings are universally understood as symbols of love. Naturally, Felicia thought Peter was proposing.
Caught between excitement and nervousness, she didn't know how to respond.
Peter noticed her reaction and didn't correct her misunderstanding. Instead, he smiled and knelt on one knee.
"My beautiful Miss Felicia, will you marry me?"
Felicia was stunned. She never imagined Peter would actually propose. Her mind went blank.
"I... I would love to! But... what about Gwen?"
Peter hadn't expected her to bring up Gwen at such a moment. Felicia had once told him she was willing to be the woman behind him forever—he thought she was joking. But now, her sincerity was undeniable.
He suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Teasing a woman who had given her whole heart to him with a fake proposal was wrong.
"You silly girl," Peter said softly, standing and gently stroking her hair. "At a time like this, you're still thinking of someone else? Why not think of yourself for once?"
Felicia shook her head. "From the moment you saved me, my heart has only belonged to you. My purpose is to see you happy. If you're happy, I'd give anything—even my life."
"Enough. Don't say that," Peter interrupted, his tone firm but gentle. "Since you're devoted to me, why would I ever want your life? I treasure you."
He paused, setting aside his playful tone. "These five items aren't for a proposal. They're your custom-made Nano Black Cat Suit."
Felicia blinked. "Nano Black Cat Suit?"
"Yes," Peter replied. "It's a full-body nano-armor made using advanced nanotechnology. I built two suits—one for me, and one for you. Just wear these five items and activate them with your mind."
Felicia looked at him in disbelief. "Are you serious? This isn't some joke?"
"You'll find out if you try," Peter said, helping her put on the jewelry.
As she put on the accessories, an electronic voice rang in her ears."Hello. I am Artificial Intelligence Butler 9s, your exclusive Nano Black Cat Suit system. Now collecting fingerprint and DNA data...""Data collection complete. Nano Suit successfully bound. This suit is exclusive to you and cannot be used by anyone else.""There are two activation modes: active mode via brainwave command, and passive mode via danger detection. Please note."Felicia was dumbfounded. She knew Peter was a tech genius, but this was another level. Not only had he handcrafted a Nano Suit, but it came with its own AI system—all in three days."To activate the suit, please silently say 'Activate' in your mind."Felicia did as instructed. Instantly, the nano-metal shot out from the jewelry and covered her entire body in a matter of seconds.
An all-black, sleek, cat-shaped Nano Suit enveloped her. It wasn't skintight, but it outlined her curves with stunning elegance. The cat-eared helmet resembled Catwoman's from DC, and the faceplate masked her features with a thin metal layer.
A layer of air between the suit and her skin ensured comfort while still offering maximum protection.
The overall design was minimalist yet striking. But the real power lay in its features.
First, it contained a miniature nuclear reactor, providing immense energy. Even someone with no physical strength could lift 10 tons while wearing it—superhero-level power.
It also featured a palm energy cannon strong enough to blow up a car.
Then there was the anti-gravity flight system, which eliminated the need for grappling devices. Felicia could now soar through the sky like 2B Miss.
But Peter didn't stop there. Knowing Felicia's fighting style, he added a special enhancement: her claws were now embedded with nano-metal energy blades. These blades could cut through one-centimeter-thick steel with ease.
This suit made her more powerful than most heroes.
If Tony Stark saw it, he'd probably cry. His Mark I Iron Man suit hadn't even been invented yet, while Peter was leagues ahead with nanotech.
Felicia was overwhelmed with joy. She hadn't thought Peter was serious, but he had truly crafted something incredible just for her.
"I love it! I love it so much!" Felicia exclaimed and kissed Peter's cheek. "Boss, what about your suit? What does it look like?"
"It's almost the same as yours, except for the helmet design. I didn't have time for full customization. We'll upgrade it later."
With that, Peter activated his own Nano Suit. It formed around him in seconds, closely resembling the black Venom Spider-Man look.
Peter had modeled it after the Venom suit to match his darker persona. After all, when Peter Parker wore the black suit in the comics, he merely danced and sprinkled sand—Peter here had taken a far more ruthless path.
"Your suit is so cool! Way better than just a mask!" Felicia gushed, eyes twinkling.
"Glad you think so. Come, let's go for a spin," Peter said, taking her hand and leading her outside.
As they walked, 9s's voice echoed in their ears:"Collecting wearer's walking posture... Collection complete. Movement module adapting: 1%, 2%, 10%... 100% complete.""Movement assistance function now active. Physical exertion reduced, endurance increased. Please take note."9s was a super-intelligent AI created by Peter—separate from 2B Miss. Inspired by 9S from NieR: Automata, Peter removed its emotional system, leaving it a cold, precise, hacking-based intelligence system. Housed in the supercomputer of Kingpin Tower, 9s could out-hack even Jarvis.
It could infiltrate the Pentagon or S.H.I.E.L.D. unnoticed and operate up to 100,000 mirror clones simultaneously, controlling and syncing smart devices in real-time.
With this AI, Peter's strength would increase exponentially. He even planned to build an entire robot army under 9s's command. Then, even HYDRA or the U.S. military wouldn't be able to match him.
As the suit's movement assistance kicked in, both Peter and Felicia felt almost weightless while walking. The suits moved for them, conserving their energy.
"With this suit, I feel unstoppable!" Felicia exclaimed.
She gave a slight leap and instantly soared into the sky. In seconds, she was thousands of meters high.
Peter smiled and followed. With 9s monitoring, he wasn't worried.
"Wooo! I can fly! This is amazing!" Felicia shouted, speeding through the clouds. Her velocity shattered the sound barrier, leaving a sonic boom in her wake.
Just then, 9s issued a warning."Alert: You are approaching a Military no-fly zone. Unauthorized entry will trigger defensive action. Would you like to reroute?"Felicia hesitated, but Peter grinned.
"No need. Let's enter directly. I haven't tested this suit in battle yet. This is a perfect opportunity to let the military help."
"Wait—are you serious?!" Felicia gasped.
"Absolutely. If this suit can't handle a no-fly zone, I wouldn't dare give it to you."
"Got it! Charge!" Felicia cried, and with Peter close behind, they zoomed straight toward the restricted zone.
Alarms blared across the military base below. All personnel were placed on high alert.
War was coming—and Peter Parker, the Black Spider-Man, was about to give them a new definition of power.
