Marvel: I'm a Symbiote - Chapter 46 Escape (1/2)

With their talk done, Laura turned her head slightly to look at the guy who was holding her like some animal and gave him a feral grin. One that sent shivers down the guard’s spine.

The next second, without thinking, he pressed the electrocution button. He didn’t want to risk anything and decided to immobilize her.

Though unlike all the other times, she kept standing this time and didn’t react to the shock she was supposed to be receiving.

‘Well, that’s nice…’ She thought and didn’t waste any more time and turned back to push the guy to the corner, he was holding her away so she had to grab the stick by herself and hit the guy with it.

Douglas was desperately trying to electrocute her so that she doesn’t kill him but it was to no avail. She beat him up with the stick that he was holding to keep her away and approached him.

“Stay away!” He tried to keep her away from him.

“I don’t think I will. You think I didn’t notice your shit face ogling my body every time you came?” She stated. Her foot had a single metal claw extending from it. She kicked up and in the next moment, the guy’s crotch had his entrails falling out of it.

‘Remind me not to get on her bad side…’ Alex may be desensitized to killing. But he was still a man at heart. And seeing Douglas’ state, he winced just a bit.

Laura looked like she was enjoying his face full of agony and pain and after a few seconds she kicked again and this time, his head was rolling to the side, separated from his body.

Laura spent a few moments looking for keys that Douglas had and found them, finally getting rid of the stick that kept hindering her mobility. This guy didn’t have the keys for the collar or else she would’ve gotten rid of that too.

She started taking off his armor as she was planning to wear it to cover herself. Going into a fight wearing nothing but scraps wasn’t the best thing.

‘It seems that she doesn’t have that berserk rage thing…’ Alex thought as he saw Laura’s thought-out actions. She was angry, but she was in full control of her actions.

[Allow me.] Alex interfered and suddenly her body was covered by a sleek leather combat suit that was reminiscent of Natasha.

[Well, isn’t that convenient…] Laura was a little surprised but didn’t have any issues with her new clothes, [You been working with Black Widow?] She asked without giving away her thoughts as she waited for the elevator to open on the ground floor. She’d already changed the destination.

[Not really, I’m just a fan of girls wearing leather. I’m also bulletproof] Alex told her.

[Well aren’t you a deviant? And bulletproof… seems nice.] Laura laughed and didn’t say anything more about it, [What’s your name? You know mine, but I don’t know yours.]

[Alex. My name is Alex] He told her.

[Alex, huh? You sound pretty human for an alien species. And a pretty mellow one at that.] She said.

[After living on earth for so long, I’ve long mended with you guys and given myself a name. We don’t have the concept of names in our culture so it wasn’t a big deal to give myself a name.] He told her the same thing he told his other hosts.

As they conversed, the elevator finally reached its destination.

This elevator chimed and the doors started opening.

Just as the doors slid open, a squadron of people opened fire on Laura without any question. They knew that she would survive. They had her full data.

In her usual desperado fighting style, Laura let those bullets hit her as she extended her claws from her hands and feet.

She jumped forward to slice two of the people in front of her into halves while jumping on the body of a third person whom she skewered with her feet claws.

‘She’d brutal… I like it.’ Alex liked Laura’s brutal fighting style. She left everything to her healing factor and tanked all the attacks while slicing people with reckless abandon. But her moves were calculated and planned. Her fighting style was the most optimized for her.

For now, none of the bullets were able to pierce through her armor but that wouldn’t be for long. Once they bring out the big guns, Alex would have to let Laura deal with them.n(0)vel(b)(j)(n) was the first platform to present this chapter.

Laura knew that she didn’t have too much time since although she could take care of these grunts with ease, the true firepower that was in the central fortress was probably on its way to her.

Those robots were how she got caught in the first place.

Laura quickly sliced her way through most of the people while also cutting through a few bullets using her claws as she stopped them from hitting her head. She always instinctively protected her head since she knew that her healing factor wouldn’t help her regenerate her memories if she got shot in the head and damaged her brain. That had happened once with Logan and she wasn’t planning on letting that happen to her.

Though she didn’t need to worry since Alex had already formed a helmet over her head that was pretty resistant to bullet damage.

[RPG incoming] Alex warned her as Laura reacted after a few moments. She didn’t have much coordination with Alex yet and it took a moment for her to react to his warning.

Even though Laura’s reaction was slightly slow, Alex’s timely warning allowed her to dodge the attack completely while shooting the RPG shooter in his face with a gun that she’d picked up.

As Laura went through the ground floor, she finally reached a computer terminal and stopped there.

[Here you go.] She looked at the terminal.

[Put your hand over it.] Alex told her as more people started showing up. Laura quickly put her hand on the terminal.

[Defend this location for 2 minutes, I’ll be done by then. Then we can leave.] He told her as he transferred a part of himself into the terminal and invaded the cyberspace of the Bastion’s database.

Ever since the last time when he’d stolen all of Oscorp’s data from the research world, Alex had developed an ability to directly hack into a server and transfer all the knowledge to himself. He’d gotten this idea from Venom since he was also able to hack into cyberspaces. It took him a while to develop this, but he was successful after some trial and error.

[Don’t take too long.] Laura said as she jumped away from the terminal and took up a defensive position. However, she wouldn’t wait for a second after the agreed-upon two minutes. She was grateful to Alex for helping her, but that didn’t mean that she trusted him.

Abruptly, Laura felt some danger near herself. She felt as if she was about to be attacked. Trusting her instincts, she crouched down in an instant, only to see a bullet whoosh by the spot where her head was.

‘That was dangerous.’ She thought as she lunged at the two guards that were approaching her, stabbing one of their abdomens and cutting the head off the other.

She kept killing people as if they were animals to be butchered with a vengeful glint in her eyes as she cut them all apart dying the pristine white floors into the crimson red of blood. She’d been treated as some sort of inexhaustible resource by these fucking people for years and she was going to do everything in her power to destroy this facility once she got out of there.

Alex also understood her mentality as he paid attention to her situation while trying to take all of the data that was stored within their databases. It was all connected to a central network and he could access all of the data that the Bastion has collected in their servers. He had already set up a large number of servers and databases in the Research World and was directly transferring all of the data from this facility to that facility.

He was able to do this since he was using the medium of his consciousness to transfer large amounts of information into that server. He didn’t have any eidetic or photographic memory so he needed some external location to store these exabytes of data that had been researched and stored by the Bastion over the years.

[How much longer?] Laura might be vengeful and want to kill every single person in this facility, but she wasn’t blinded by her vengeance. She knew that to do what she wants, she must make preparations. And for that, she had to get out as quickly as possible.

[60 seconds] Alex told her as he went at the fastest speed he could. He’d already found the formula to create Extremis and now he just wanted everything. But his greed for the information wasn’t exactly a good thing for either him or Laura.

‘Fuck!’ Just as Alex was about to delve into the actual inner workings of the Bastion’s functions— Things related to the fortress and the abominations including the methods that the bastion uses to deal with the abominations, a fail-safe firewall activated and started purging him from the system.

At the same time, automated robots arrived at the facility, it had only been a few minutes since Laura had escaped and they were already here.

[We have to go.][We have to go.] Both of them said at the same time as Laura grabbed the head of a person that was approaching her and used it as leverage to jump up while also twisting their neck.

She jumped to the terminal and collected Alex’s body from it before making a run for it.

[I have a plan, follow my directions.] Alex told Laura as she nimbly dodged the repulsor blasts along with the gunfire that was being shot at her. She wasn’t able to completely avoid getting hit, and even Alex’s bulletproof clothes had limits, but her acrobatics and dodging did prevent anything from hitting her vitals. It wasn’t because it would be a major problem, but because her vitals would take a longer time to recover and the situation right now was very sensitive.

Alex guided Laura to the exit of the building and she had to use her claws to cut open a hole in the entrance door that was sealed shut.

‘Finally… Freedom.’ Laura couldn’t help but pause for a moment as she reached the outside of the building and saw the illumination of the rock cluster that was left over after the Earth’s moon was destroyed.

‘What’s that?’ She was confused as she saw a large number of moons in the night sky other than their broken-down moon.
