Shop Class (Club)

Shop Class is a Club that the player may join. The Club's goal is to create gadgets that can be used in the ongoing struggle against Lilith.
==Initiation==
On a free night, Robbie invites Hunter to join Shop Club. This can only occur after Spider-Man has joined the team, and typically happens shortly after the mission Spidermaaaans. However, the timing may vary based on other events taking place and the speed at which the player progresses through the story.

==Story==
===Meeting 1===
Robbie and Peter welcome Hunter to The Shop, a large cave filled with various tools and machinery. They are working on their own here so they can figure things out for themselves without having several geniuses looking over their shoulders. 
After Hunter agrees to join them, Peter shows off their first two projects: Symbiote Muffler and Zinger Protocol. He explains that he'll need more components to make more things next time.
===Meeting 2===
When Hunter and Robbie arrive at The Shop, Peter is already there, and surprisingly, so is Tony. Peter seems a little uncomfortable with Tony's presence.
Neither Peter nor Robbie know why Tony is there, so Hunter talks to him. Tony happened to see Peter with a backpack of gadgets, and followed him here to see what he was working on. Tony says he only wants to stick around if everyone is comfortable with it. Seeming to sense the reason why they are working on their own in the first place, he promises he will stay out of their way. Robbie welcomes him to Shop Class.
Peter is working on two gadgets to protect Hunter if another face-off with Wanda is necessary: Reality Anchor and Revitalizing Swarm.
Tony stays true to his word, observing silently in the background while everyone else works on the projects. As the meeting ends, Robbie can't resist asking Tony for his thoughts on what they created. He replies that with these new options against Fallen, Shop Class has already proved its worth. Peter and Robbie seem a little star struck that the brilliant Tony Stark is complimenting their work.
===Meeting 3===
When Hunter and Robbie arrive at The Shop, Tony is giving instructions to Peter and various Stark Industries equipment is spread around the floor. Tony says that they should take what they want, and he'll clear out the rest. It seems to bother Robbie but he says nothing.
Tony explains to Hunter that he brought the new equipment because the tools they had been using were too old fashioned and run down. He seems to realize that there is some concern over the things he brought, and tells Hunter that everyone's doing good work here and he just wants to support it.
Hunter returns to Robbie and Peter. Robbie is still suspicious of Tony and will keep an eye on him, while Peter, but seems to want to give Tony the benefit of the doubt.
Peter's projects this meeting are designed to help against Sabretooth: Creed Repellent and Habanero Dart.
After the meeting, Tony asks if the equipment helped. Robbie reluctantly says that it did, but from his attitude it seems that even though it may have been faster or easier, he didn't enjoy the work as much. When Tony says he wants to make sure he's pulling his weight, Robbie mutters to himself that Tony is pulling almost all of it.
===Meeting 4===
Usually Robbie is the one waiting for Hunter to go to Shop Class, but tonight Peter is there instead. He explains that Tony really got under Robbie's skin at the last meeting and Peter needs Hunter's help to talk him down.
When Peter and Hunter arrive at The Shop, Tony and Robbie are in the midst of an argument. Tony has brought in even more equipment without asking. He still doesn't feel like he did anything wrong, saying that he just replaced outdated equipment and that if Robbie isn't there to make progress he should get out of the way.
Hunter tries to talk to Robbie after the argument, but he just wants a minute to himself. When Hunter talks to Tony, he continues to act as if he did nothing wrong.
Peter has some ideas for new prototypes. As he's discussing them, Tony interrupts to ask Peter to talk to Robbie, who has still not cooled down. Tony says he will build the prototypes while Peter is gone. Peter tries to object, but Tony gets his way. After Peter leaves, Tony points out that Parker works too slowly and that he has some ideas to do things differently. Instead of working together, Tony does all the work himself.
Robbie and Peter approach Tony. Tony claims he doesn't want to fight but is still being antagonistic. Robbie is disappointed with his former idol and tells a story about how Tony affected the area where he lived when he was younger. Stark Industries bought the Salazar Steel Plant, then shut it down in order to build the Stark Technology Center in its place. But the tech center was never built, and the closure put half the families in Robbie's neighborhood out of work. 
Robbie and Peter have had enough of Tony, and both quit Shop Class. Tony doesn't understand what just happened, but wants to fix it.
===Meeting 5===
Tony is waiting in the hall for Hunter. He spoke to Peter who can get Robbie to come to Shop Class if Hunter came too. Tony wants to fix things, so Hunter agrees to attend.
At The Shop, Tony says he wants a do-over. Robbie and Peter both question why they should keep giving him chances. Tony is sincerely apologetic, saying that nothing he did was justified, he was a jerk, and he is sorry. He explains that if you take away all of the trappings of wealth and power, he's just a guy who likes to make things. As a child, he was the only kid who was interested in exhaust manifolds and microprocessors. All that he wants to do in Shop Class is to make things, with friends. Peter says that Tony Stark, CEO is banned... but "making things" Tony, the person who's talking now, can stay.
Robbie is pleased that Tony has finally figured out what Shop Class is all about. Tony is relieved and thankful that Hunter came along. Peter is glad that the trouble is over with, and presents the ideas for group's next prototype: Gamma Agitator and Gamma Reversion Pulse.
When the prototypes are complete, Peter says that this is Shop Class's best work; it is impressive what the group can do when everyone works together.
After the meeting, Tony talks with Robbie about Salazar Steel and the Stark Technology Center. He couldn't remember anything about it before, so he looked into it. Ten years ago, Stark Industries and Oscorp were in a business war, and when Oscorp was angling to purchase Salazar Steel, Stark Industries swooped in to buy it first.
It turned out that Salazar Steel's finances were a mess; they were funneling all of their profits back into the plant just to keep the lights on. Stark Industries couldn't afford a hit to their stock price, so they shut down the Salazar Steel and created the fiction of the Stark Technology Center to distract from the closure. It worked, but Tony realizes now that he should have followed up and ensured the people who lost their jobs got new ones. He says he isn't the man he was ten years ago, and is glad that Robbie met the current Tony, and not the old one.
Robbie respects that Tony shared this, warts and all. He offers to let Tony help him work on the Hell Ride. The harmony of Shop Class has been restored.
