Marvel: I'm a Symbiote - Chapter 30 Civil War (1/5)

Steve and Bucky were running toward a helicopter at full speed.

They’d figured out a bit of the gist of the situation and were going to Siberia to double-check and finish up everything relating to the other Winter Soldiers in the Hydra facility that Bucky had remembered being trained in.

They were both running on a clock and had to get there as soon as possible. Though they both knew it wasn’t going to be that easy.

*Clink* *Bzzz*

Before they even got to the helicopter, there was a clinking sound of something sticking to it, and an electromagnetic pulse fried the helicopter’s rotor motor.

“Stand down Cap!” Tony came flying through the air and pointed his repulsers at Cap and Bucky while midair.

“You know I can’t do that, Tony.” Steve shook his head.

“Then you leave me no choice.” He said as there was the sound of his repulsors powering up.

And then it was Pandemonium.

…

[Wanna fight for both sides again?] Alex asked in Nat’s mind as she ran through the staff entrance of the airport toward the center of the conflict that had just started. She’d received the signal from Tony to arrive at the scene.

[The only family I’ve felt in far too long is falling apart Alex. I don’t want to choose sides.] Natasha’s mood wasn’t the most stable.

[It’s happening, Nat… Whether you like it or not.] Alex felt sad about it too, but he knew that at this point it was inevitable.

[What do you think I should do?]

[If you want my opinion, then you should help Cap leave. Make sure that the rest of the people don’t end up imprisoned in the Raft. He and Steve are going to Siberia, to the facility where Bucky was turned into the Winter Soldier. There’s more of him. More Winter Soldiers. Let them both leave, Stark and the War Machine guy can follow them and deal with what needs to be dealt with.]

[How do you even know this?] Nat was surprised that he knew so much.

[I may have planted an indetectable bug on Bucky when you dropped him in the warehouse, a tiny tendril of my body. I couldn’t hear everything perfectly since it was a very tiny tendril and most of my focus was on gathering his plans, but I heard enough.] He hadn’t done anything of the sort, but he couldn’t just say that he knew the plot from the movie.

‘Now that I think about it, this would’ve been a very nice spying method…’ Alex regretting not having this idea earlier.

[You didn’t think to tell me this before?] Nat frowned.

[It would only make you feel bad for not telling Tony about it. And I know you wouldn’t have told him about it. That would lead to you feeling guilty for no reason.] Alex said.

[You don’t know that…] Her thought lacked conviction.

At this point, Nat finally reached the open area and saw Steve and Bucky fighting against Iron Man and War Machine.

[Incoming!] Before they could continue their conversation though a strong shockwave was blasted toward Natasha’s head, with the intent of incapacitating her.

With Alex’s timely warning though, she instantly jumped back. The ground where she would have been at this point in time was blasted apart. She noticed and noted that his voice was really panicky when he warned her.

[Quake?] Alex said in her mind while feeling rattled from the shockwave that spread from the impact. He was feeling glad inwardly that he’d gotten that ‹Lesser Heat and Sound Resistance›

[Who’s that?] Nat asked him as she shot a taser dart at Daisy who was floating in the air.

[Daisy. Coulson’s subordinate. The vibrator girl.] Alex told her many terms to remind Natasha about her.

[That sounds wrong on so many levels…] Natasha remembered whom Alex was talking about, but was weirded out by him calling Daisy the vibrator girl.

She’d skimmed through almost all of Shield’s data and knew about many of the high-priority individuals of Shield. She also knew quite a bit about the Inhumans too.

[It’s accurate.] Alex shrugged.

[Right…] Nat trailed off as she saw Quake release a sonic blast at Nat’s taser dart and destroy the projectile.

Alex looked around at the battlefield and noticed that it was much more chaotic than it should’ve been.

‘The Defenders… Agents of Shield… Is that the fucking Ghost Rider? The Punisher… These guys are all on Cap’s side… Shit changed. Amazing.’ Alex felt a sort of internal excitement to fight all of them.

He also saw that Iron Man’s side was also much more crowded.

The most prominent being almost a hundred different versions of Iron Man suits piloted by Friday. Also, the presence of a few of the Inhumans.

‘No wonder this fucker ended up on a break with Pepper. He’s probably made a fucking production line that creates the base suit and then he personally enhances them with different purposes in mind.

Alex even noticed a weaker version of the Hulkbuster fighting with the combined forces of Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

‘Those Inhumans probably came out since the new reality made them want to get more involved in the world. These people can’t stay hidden in the shadows any longer. Even Wakanda will have to expose itself soon enough.’

Alex saw Blackbolt, Karnak, Gorgon, and a few other Inhumans that he didn’t recognize.

Yo-yo and Daredevil were fighting against Karnak and an unknown inhuman with fire manipulation. Yo-yo was being assisted by some drones that were blocking blows for her while helping with the fire.

Ghost Rider and Ant-Man were fending off the combined forces of Black Panther and Gorgon.

‘Did he get the upgraded suit already?’ Alex thought as he saw T’Challa’s suit absorb most of the impact from Gorgon’s shockwave manipulation ability before releasing it at Robbie Reyes aka Ghost Rider. They had created a combo attack to beat Ghost Rider.

A whole lot more stuff was going on at the same time. Alex already knew that the entire airport was going to get trashed in the aftermath of this fight.

[Nat, I’m joining in the fight…] Alex told her as a portion of his symbiote body left Natasha’s body in a camouflaged state.

[Which side?] She asked as she jumped up at Daisy who was floating only slightly above the ground, intending to engage in a fistfight.

[Both of them.] He told her. He just wanted to fight a good fight. He was going to help whichever team would have the weaker hand and even out the field.

He knew that by the end of all this Steve and Bucky would be making their way out of this place in the Quinjet. He was confident in all that fate bullshit that was going on.

He told Wanda the same thing as a part of his body separated from her and merged with the camouflaged body that was outside.

She was with Hawkeye and they were dealing with Vision and a couple of Tony’s suits.

Finally, Alex did something he’d wanted to do for a while.

He made himself visible in the middle of the battlefield. He was wearing completely black armor with a prominent belt wrapped around his waist that seemed to have many tools. Only half of his face was visible as the rest of it was covered by a mask that had two tips going out from the ends.

He’d turned into Batman.

Noticing an unfamiliar face on the battlefield, one of Tony’s suits moved in to attack Alex.

Alex also wanted to check his tanking capabilities so he let the repulser blast hit him, though for safety measures he used the palm of his hand to receive that attack.

‘Okay, it stings… I’m not invincible.’ Alex’s palm was a little charred but healed back in an instant, but it helped him calm down from all that excitement. After seeing this utter chaos, he was excited to the ends of the earth and wanted to fight every single one of the people in this airport.

Now though, he’d calmed down a little.

Alex moved to dodge the other blasts that were shot at him as he moved with an inhuman level of speed toward the suit that was attacking him. His hand formed into a spike and he leaped into the air, piercing through the suit’s chest. He discretely grabbed the arc reactor with his tendrils and kept it within him. He was going to see if it could provide him with any insight into the new metal that Tony had created for his upgraded arc reactor.

He landed in the middle of a fight between Jessica Jones and an unknown Inhuman who had the power to manipulate metal.

The inhuman was fighting her while having his fists covered in the scrap metal of an airplane while at the same time bombarding her with scrap metal projectiles. Jesica, despite being physically stronger, was forced to keep dodging the projectiles while being at a disadvantage in the fight.

Seeing that Jessica was on the losing side in this fight, Alex decided on his opponent and slightly changed his trajectory midair toward the metal manipulator.

A few of the stray projectiles ended up hitting Alex but he easily shrugged them off.

He increased the mass and density of his leg and swung it at the guy.

The metal manipulator blocked Alex’s kick with his metal-coated arm. But that ended up giving Jessica an opportunity to punch him.

He flew back from the huge recoil but used some more metal to slow his fall and did not get too hurt.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B1jn.

“Hi!” He smiled charmingly at Jessica.

(A/N: This fight’s going to get chaotic as fuck with a lot of elements. I made a rough illustration for my own reference to keep up with what was going on throughout the fight. I’ll post it on my discord after the five chapters are all published, you can check it out if you get confused. It might spoil the fight so I suggest you look at it after reading the 5 chapters. The Discord link is in the synopsis of the book.)
