Marvel: I'm a Symbiote - Chapter 69 Rounding Them Up

“Why are you even after me? Going so far as to kidnap my father… You already took my dimensional traveler. What else do you want from me?” Gwen still didn’t get Cindy’s reasoning behind this.

Cindy had revealed Gwen’s identity to these people, kidnapped her father to bring her here, and even teamed up with them to attack her. Gwen couldn’t understand the reasoning behind Cindy’s actions.

‘Should I do it…’ Alex just had an idea and was contemplating whether he wanted to follow through with it or not.

“Not… Telling…” Cindy teased Gwen in an infuriating sing-song voice.

“Well, fuck you then…” Gwen punched her in the gut while Cindy promptly dodged and shot a web at Gwen’s outstretched hand.

Just as the web touched Gwen’s hand, it disintegrated. Gwen just now had an idea about how she could use her Bio-Electricity and she utilized it to send out a weak shockwave of electricity and ruin the web that was shot toward her hand.

“How did you get this electricity ability…” Cindy mused out loud.

“None of your business.” Gwen was unrelenting and shot a web at Cindy which was promptly dodged.

Each attack that Gwen sent her way was dodged by Cindy and it was starting to get annoying.

“Stay still, goddamnit…” Gwen’s physical stats were superior to Cindy’s but Cindy had Silk Sense which was better than Spider-Sense and she was also a better combatant than Gwen.

Though Cindy was on the back foot for the fight, one could tell that she was calmly looking for an opening.

[Hey, Gwen. What do you think about me bonding with Cindy?] Alex asked Gwen out of the blue.

[What?!] Gwen was a little shocked and missed her attack which Cindy didn’t hesitate to take advantage of. She moved close to Gwen and webbed her stomach before pulling her off of the ground. Or at least she tried.

Gwen had her feet attached to the ground through her Wall Crawling ability and Cindy’s attack was of no use.

[What do you mean Alex?] Gwen asked Alex with a furious undertone. She thought that Alex was planning to abandon her for Cindy.

[I mean, what if I separate a part of my body and let that body bond with Cindy? She might be pretty useful.] Alex explained.

[And what happened to all that marriage bullshit that you said back then?] Gwen questioned him with a slightly colder tone.

[I could also just steal her power from her genome and leave her to stay as a normal human for the rest of her life…] Alex mused. He was mostly lost in his own thoughts and didn’t pay attention to Gwen’s passive-aggressive question.

[Fuck off, Alex] Gwen cursed at him while focusing on her fight with Cindy.

[Fine, fine. You’ll be my only host on this Earth.] Alex told Gwen. She was focused on the fight so she didn’t notice Alex’s subtle wordplay.

His decision was made by factoring in quite a few things. Gwen treating him as a true life partner was a big factor but there was another reason. Alex didn’t know if he had a limit to the number of hosts that he could bond with. He didn’t want to end up getting fucked over later down the line. He also didn’t exactly see any real benefit in bonding with Cindy. He already had access to the Spider-Powers roster from Gwen. He’d rather bond with someone like Jean Grey or Susan Storm next. One is the literal embodiment of The Phoenix Force, and the other can directly manipulate the Cosmic energies of the universe.

At this point, just as Gwen sent a controlled electric bolt at Cindy which was dodged again as usual, Alex instantly extended out from Gwen’s body and covered Cindy before she could even react.

‘Thank fuck I can make these extrasensory abilities like Silk-Sense useless.’ Alex was glad that his opponents couldn’t sense his actions with extrasensory abilities as long as he didn’t want them to.

The instant that he started covering Cindy’s body, Alex injected a sleeping drug into her body to make her go to sleep.

“Alex…” Gwen had a betrayed frown on her face. She thought that he was going to abandon her and bond with Cindy.

“What’s up?” He asked happily, “You did amazingly today. I’m proud of you.” Alex’s body formed in front of Gwen and he pulled her in for a hug.

“Mhm…” She hummed and leaned into the hug with a desperate edge.

[Please don’t leave me…] Gwen pleaded with a weak voice.

“What?” Alex asked dumbfoundedly, “Where’d that thought come from?”

“Aren’t you bonding with Cindy and leaving me…” She said in a small voice.

“You dumbfuck…” Alex flicked her forehead with his full strength.

“Ouch!” Gwen put both her hands on her forehead and crouched down due to the pain.

“Did you not listen to what I’m doing? I’m planning to do to her what she did to you. I’m going to remove her powers and make her no more than a normal human. She put my girl through so much pain and suffering. The least I can do is to avenge you.” Alex told her with a loving tone as he crouched down in front of her crouched figure and pulled her in for another hug.

Alex also pulled her mask off of her head and threw it to the side, he gently held the sides of her face with both his hands and looked into her eyes.

“Didn’t I tell you that our bond is practically unbreakable? I can’t leave you even if I want to. Not that I would ever want to leave you in the first place.”

“Pwomife?” She asked with a muffled voice since Alex had squeezed her face with both his hands.

“I promise.” Alex shook his head with a gentle smile on his face and brought his face closer to Gwen’s.

“I’m never breaking my bond with you. Even if you someday try to run, it’s going to be impossible to get rid of me.” He said before passionately kissing Gwen.

“Mhm~” She couldn’t help but moan a little when she felt his tongue caress hers while he toyed with her tongue piercing.

A few minutes later, when Alex pulled back, Gwen was huffing with both arousal and breathlessness.

“Let’s take care of things here and leave. What do you want to do with the others? I’ll be taking away Cindy’s and Electro’s powers since they’ll help me get stronger. The others don’t really matter to me.

“All of these guys know about my identity now, Alex… It’ll be very troublesome if they reveal it.” She said.

“I could alter their memories to make them think that Cindy didn’t tell any of them anything about your identity.” He offered.

“I don’t know, Alex… I feel like if I agree to this then I’ll become a hypocrite…” Gwen was hesitant. She wanted to agree but the solution wasn’t ethical.

“That’s your only choice, Gwen. And your identity getting revealed will be a huge problem. In the eyes of the world, you are a criminal. There’s even a warrant out for your arrest.”

“I know…” Gwen was deep in thought. Alex didn’t interfere since he knew that this was a decision that she should make by herself.

“Do it… Manipulate their memories. But don’t read their memories… Can you do that? For me? Please?” Gwen pleaded with Alex with a genuine plea.

“Fine. But just because you asked nicely.” Alex lovingly kissed Gwen’s nose and manipulated everyone’s memories of today’s incident. He didn’t have any issue not reading any of their memories. They didn’t have anything to offer him.

He already had the blueprint for Doc Ock’s arms and Harry’s Green Goblin tech. The Punisher didn’t have much to interest Alex. It was the same with Mysterio.

The only two people left were Cindy and Electro. And they both had quite a bit that Alex wanted.

Electro would give him both EP and would let him upgrade his Lightning Manipulation. On the other hand, Cindy was even more useful. He would be able to increase the stats of his ‹Superhuman Grade Physique Creation› ability while also enhancing his 6th sense by a huge amount. Her Silk-Sense was far better than Spider-Sense. That’s not to mention that Alex would be able to get the formula to create his own radioactive spider that could create a Spider-Man.

He could literally mass-produce an army of Spider-Men with that spider.

‘I doubt it would be that easy though…’ Alex didn’t expect things to be that simple with that radioactive spider. Otherwise, Cindy would’ve already taken over the world.

“We’re done. Grab Cindy. We’ll go to our warehouse.” Alex said and merged back into Gwen’s body.

“Okay. What about Electro?” She asked.

“He’s contained. I’ll see what I can do about him when we get to the warehouse.” He told her.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on N0vel–Bjjn.

“Let’s get going.” Gwen walked out of the door while having Cindy’s unconscious body slung over her shoulder.

[Oh…] Alex had just noticed something in Cindy’s head. He hadn’t read her memories but was just looking to read her surface thoughts so that he could understand her motivation for targeting Gwen.

[What is it?] Gwen asked.

[I just noticed something interesting.] Alex said.

[Are you reading Cindy’s memories?] She asked calmly. She’d been desensitized to Alex’s mind manipulation stuff at this point. And he’d just helped her out with that. She didn’t want to be even more of a hypocrite by overreacting.

[Not her memories.] He said.

[Her surface thoughts then…] Gwen was rolling her eyes under her mask. She understood him well enough.

[Yep.] He agreed.

[Well, don’t. It’s an invasion of privacy. And we’ll be interrogating her soon enough.] Gwen didn’t like being so invasive with other people.

[I was curious. And I found some very interesting information.] Alex said.
