An Old Friend

It had been 5 days since the events of the Civil War in the MCU Earth and things had been going by pretty well in all the worlds that Alex was currently in. The research center had been stably established in the Amazing Spider-Man Earth, and Gwen, with the help of Alex, would make the planetary shield.

On his 'farm', Alex had already taken over the US and was on his way to taking full control of that world. He'd also been completely focusing on MJ of that world. Sadly though, progress was very slow with the bonding rate not even reaching 40% yet. He knew that he should apply different tactics to tame her and was still thinking about how to go about things. This was also the reason that he wasn't looking for anyone else for now. He first wanted to see how he would work with it all. He was still experimenting with different methods.

In Earth-65.

"Oh, Alex~" Gwen moaned as Alex grabbed her golden blonde hair roughly and pulled her head back, using it as a sort of leash. He bunched up her short hair so that it would be less about the pain and more about control as he railed Gwen from behind.

They'd just finished training and Alex was rewarding Gwen for her efforts after completely pushing her limits to get her stronger quickly.

"I'm cumming~" Gwen screamed as she shook in her spot while Alex kept holding her hair and pulling her head back.

A few hours later Gwen was completely out of it and was sleeping soundly in Alex's arms without a care in the world while feeling protected and loved. This had been exactly how their days had been going for the past two weeks.

Gwen had been following a pretty regular routine every day. She would wake up feeling as fresh as the sun, go to college, and spend a few hours after college being Spider-Woman and helping people out while also working at her part-time gig at the Dollar Dog— A hot dog bodega, and then she would train for three hours with Alex. The 'reward' sessions lasted varying amounts of time. Though the minimum was at least two hours. Alex had also pulled an all-nighter with Gwen when she had a libido-high day.

She was grateful for Alex's biological manipulation that was able to keep her rejuvenated otherwise she wouldn't be going to classes that day.

Even though Spider-Woman wasn't well received by the public and was termed a wanted vigilante by the police, she still kept going and kept trying to help people. Just because she felt that it was her responsibility.

Her stats looked something like this after the two weeks since she started training.

{ «Status- Host #1»

«Name: Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider)»

«Bonding Rate: 29%»

«Bonding Level: 2»

«Powers: Superhuman Physique (22 Tons)— Spider Sense— Wall Crawling— Bio-Electricity»

}

Her superhuman physique had basically gotten an amazing rounded boost and her physical stats had been enhanced by 25% in the last week. And she'd also passed the 25% threshold in the Bonding Rate and was helping him generate 0.2 EP per day.

…

*Boom*

Gwen had been out for her usual after-college patrols for a while and was just about to change up to go to her part-time job when she heard an explosion nearby and swung there as fast as she could. Just as she swung past a building to reach her destination, her web was cut off by some sharp blade. Although she now had organic webs that had far better tensile strength than her old web shooters, they were still cut off by the attack.

"Woah!" She hurriedly cast another web with her other hand and grabbed it to stop herself from planting face-first into the building in front of her.

"Spider-Woman!" She heard a familiar voice call her and was instantly surprised by who it was.

'Harry?' Gwen recognized that voice. It was Harry. Gwen's and Peter's best friend from back when they were in high school before she killed Peter. After that incident, Harry completely disappeared from the map, cutting off all contact with Gwen.

"Die!" He shot rounds of machine guns at her.

'What's going on…' Gwen couldn't understand what was going on as she instinctively dodged all the bullets. With her enhanced reflexes and Spider-Sense, it was a piece of cake for her. When Gwen turned to look at her assailant, what she saw was something that terrified her.

'What did you do to yourself, Harry!' Harry looked like he wasn't even human anymore. He was flying on a glider and was wearing metallic dark green armor. But that was the most normal part of it. His face was completely out in the open with green veins running up his neck and over his face. His eyes were slitted and his ears were slightly pointy.

"Who are you?" Gwen asked as she shot a few webs at Harry's armor. She couldn't just act as if she recognized him since she didn't want to reveal her identity.

"You will die for what you did, Spider-Menace! And know that it was the Green Goblin that killed you." Harry seemed to have lost a lot of his intelligence.

"Right…" Even Gwen rolled her eyes under her mask after hearing that 3rd rate villain dialogue. Then again, the Green Goblin wasn't much more than a third-rate villain.

She shot a few probing webs at Harry to probe his strength but he flew to the side and dodged those webs. She shot more webs at him and he completely dodged all of them while trying to attack Gwen with his bombs or guns. Soon though, the entire area was filled with webs and Harry ended up colliding with the webs and getting stuck.

'Finally…' Gwen thought as she was waiting for this. She jumped to the spot where Harry was stuck and looked at him.

"Why are you doing this?" Gwen didn't want to beat up her old best friend after he'd disappeared from her life for so long. At least not without talking to him.

Harry was struggling to free himself from the webs when he heard Spider-Woman's voice. Deciding to stall for time, he humored her.

"Why else? You killed my best friend, you cunt." Harry snarked with a venomous tone.

"Well, there's no need to be so rude." Gwen resorted to her only defense mechanism when it came to topics that were hurtful to her, snarky quips. The bread and butter of all variants of Spider-Man.

"I'm not alone, Spider-Woman. There are more people that are coming after you. And we'll only rest after you're dead." Harry said. And just as he finished, two more people flew here, one of them going for Gwen and the other moving for Harry to cut off the webs that were trapping him.

Gwen sensed the presence of the person attacking her and jumped back, giving the other one a chance to free Harry. The new assailants were dressed similarly to Harry with gliders that they were flying on.

She webbed the back of her assailant's glider and grabbed it in an attempt to pull it down but ended up being pulled into the air by it since she didn't grab any support to stop the glider that was flying in the air. She webbed the building at the side to get some leverage to stop the glider, and it did work for a second, but the rider simply took out a red glowing knife that seemed similar to a tiny lightsaber and cut off the web from the back of his glider.

As Gwen dropped down to the ground, she was surrounded by Harry and the two people who seemed like his lackeys.

[Wanna start going all out yet? Or do you want to wait till they throw you off the top of a clock tower and snap your spine due to the fall?] She heard Alex's snarky and dissatisfied voice.

[Fineee…] Gwen wasn't a fan of his criticism but she knew that it was for her own good. Though she didn't understand why Alex's words were so specific.

She decided to push her speed to its limits and webbed the bottom of the two henchmen's gliders before pulling them down while also attaching her feet to the ground stably. They tried to resist her pull by using their gliders to their full extent but that didn't stop Gwen from pulling them down.

Just as Harry was about to attack to cut off her webs, Alex shot a charge of lightning at him combined with Gwen's bio-electricity, immobilizing him for a while. Seeing Harry fall, the henchmen tried something else and flew to the side in an attempt to free themselves.

Before they could cause too much trouble though, Gwen burst out with all her strength and pulled them down with full force, so much so that the ground under her cracked. She had just utilized her full strength which was enhanced by her bond with Alex. They lost control of the gliders and fell to the ground, Gwen knocked them out just as a safety measure.

As Harry regained himself, he saw that his two henchmen were already on the ground, knocked out, he lashed out, "Spider-Woman!"

Before she could say anything, she saw Harry take out a vial of some green serum and inject himself with it. He started developing features that were very familiar to Gwen.

"No!" Gwen had a horrified expression under her mask. Harry was turning into a lizard monster, similar to Peter.

[Stop moping, attack him before his transformation is completed.] Alex's voice brought her back to her senses.

Gwen quickly moved to punch Harry but ended up freezing after taking a few steps. Still traumatized by how she was the reason that Peter died, she froze before she was able to hit him.

[Oh, for fuck's sake.] Alex almost sighed before he took control of Gwen's body, putting her to sleep.

He moved quickly and clamped his or rather Gwen's hand over Harry's neck. Before Harry could realize what was going on, he felt a strong electric jolt knock him out. His transformation wasn't stopped though as the unconscious person turned to look like a lizard, losing all his hair and getting a green scaly skin instead of his old one.

Alex left Harry and the two henchmen there.

'On second thought…' Alex left a part of his symbiote body on them. He was going to devour the henchmen. He would be done in a way that doesn't trace back to Gwen so that they don't blame her for even more murders.

He wasn't going to do anything to Harry since the guy was Gwen's friend and he didn't want to kill her friend. That would just be an asshole move.
