    Summary

    Staring at the kid dangling before him, with that homestyle spider emblem that once made the internet go crazy about an upgraded suit, Toomes realized he had something worth more than a shipyard of alien tech.

    Just one buyer and this whole gig (and his problems with Spider-Man) could be settled for good.

    (He should have known that was the first step towards the end of his operation.)

    Summary

    The start up systems check cataloged a great deal of damage, which Tim idly recorded for later examination when he actually had the capacity to do something about it.

    That was, until he started noticing some strange terms. Things like “stasis disengaged,” “life support at 24% capacity,” and “sustained significant damage to remaining organic components.”

    It took until the automatic processes neared the completion of their assessment, declaring an “unacceptable resource drain,” and concluding that it would “isolate and purge all unnecessary organics,” that Tim realized just what he was looking at. This wasn’t some empty droid that he could assimilate into his network. This was a cyborg, one who’d apparently been buried and forgotten and had to shut themself almost entirely down in order to preserve power and save their own life.

    “No,” croaked a weak voice, and Tim snapped to attention. This was a person, and their own programming had just decided that all of the pieces that made them them were unnecessary. They were about to die, right in front of him, and it would be all Tim’s fault.
