After concluding the tests for the Parker Suit Mark III and finalizing the logistical rollout for the carbon nano-batteries, Peter had one final objective to complete before the day ended.

He had prepared a special surprise for Gwen, one that had been in development since their return from the Multiverse.

"Gwen, it's your turn to shine!" Peter said, turning toward her with a knowing smile.

Gwen blinked, momentarily caught off guard. "What? How does this involve me?"

Peter nodded as if the answer were obvious. "Of course it does! Did you forget I promised you a surprise today?"

At his words, Gwen felt her heart skip a beat. A flurry of nervous excitement washed over her. Could it be? Is he finally going to...? Her subconscious took over, and she found herself walking toward him at a snail's pace, her eyes darting away shyly.

By the time she reached him, they were standing remarkably close. Gwen lowered her head, pretending to be nonchalant while her voice betrayed a hint of breathlessness. "What is it... you... you hurry up and say it!"

The Surprise in the Box"Do you remember our last trip to the parallel Universe? The gift I received from May—those Spider-Man suit designs?" Peter reached behind him, and like a stage magician, produced a sleek, reinforced box. He held it out to her.

"I used those blueprints to design a new suit specifically for you. Its functions are leagues beyond your current gear. I think you're going to love it."

"A new... suit?"

Gwen looked up, a momentary flash of disappointment—perhaps from her misplaced romantic expectation—flickering deep in her eyes before it was replaced by pure, radiant excitement. Gwen loved the craftsmanship Peter put into his tech. Her original suit had carried her from her first days as a hero to becoming a multiversal protector. Now, Peter was offering her the next evolution.

Eagerly, she took the box and flipped the latch.

A Vision in Pure WhiteThe suit inside was unlike anything Gwen had seen. While her previous attire utilized heavy black accents, this new version was a study in pure white. Even the iconic hood was a pristine, snow-colored fabric. There were no jarring secondary colors, giving it an ethereal, surgical purity.

Upon closer inspection, Gwen noticed a layer of delicate, white web-like patterns etched across the entire surface. These weren't mere decorations; they pulsed with a faint, structural energy.

"Put it on and try it," Peter suggested, gesturing toward a private lounge area nearby. "I'll walk you through the technical specs while you test it out."

When Gwen finally stepped out of the lounge, Peter found himself momentarily speechless. She looked like a white elf—a spectral guardian of the night.

"How does it look?" Gwen asked, performing a quick spin.

Peter gave her a firm thumbs up. "Absolutely perfect. It's a true match for you."

Technical SpecificationsGwen traced the intricate patterns on her arm. "These web designs feel incredibly tough. What's the catch?"

Peter walked over and pointed to the hood resting on her shoulders. "First, pull up the hood."

Gwen complied, drawing the fabric over her blonde hair. In an instant, her silhouette began to shimmer and blur, fading until she completely vanished into the surrounding air. She was invisible.

"Now, press the second button on your right wrist's web-shooter," Peter directed.

Gwen fumbled for a moment—being unable to see her own hands was a disorienting sensation—but she found the new tactile switch. With a soft click, she reappeared instantly.

"That is Optical Invisibility," Peter explained. "But there's more."

Kinetic Absorption: The white patterns on the suit are designed to absorb the kinetic energy generated during impact. This energy, $E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$, is stored and can be redirected in the opposite direction to massively enhance her jumping power.

Neurotoxin Webbing: Her web-shooters have been upgraded with a non-lethal paralyzing agent. Even a microscopic dose is enough to incapacitate a target the size of an elephant for twenty-four hours.

Gwen tested each function with growing awe. She felt faster, stealthier, and more dangerous. Facing an enemy like Doctor Octopus would no longer be a struggle; it would be a calculated victory.

As Gwen finished her final test, Peter turned his gaze toward the Deep Blue main unit, which had been silent during the demonstration.

"Deep Blue," Peter said, his tone shifting to business. "It's time. Introduce the situation of the new parallel Universe."
