<a little change, Natasha has long hair here instead. The reason? Have you seen the images that I posted of her and how hot she is with long hair ಠಿ_ಠ ಠ◡ಠ? By the way, she's 5'9 in this fanfic, because of that "zipper" pic ಠ◡ಠ. Or should she be taller? Tall women are sexy>
Looking at the face that would horrify even grown ass men and would give children nightmares, Natasha surprisingly wasn't that freaked out as she sighed through her nose with a raised eyebrow :"I guess Symbiotes look like each other after all. But oh well, screw it, it's useful for intimidation and getting information."
One of Ali's eyes expanded, as if he was also raising his eyebrow :"do you perhaps not like this appearance?"
Natasha curled her lips as she tried to explain without offending him :"Well, normal humans tend to freak out when a being with teeth for half of its face shows up. So it's not like I dislike it, but it's that a lot of people will annoy you for it."
Ali obviously knew it, but he seriously thought that Klyntars were just badass. Seriously, Klyntars were the baddest motherfuckers to ever motherfuck!
But well, not everybody shared the same opinion as him. And even though he really didn't give a shit about anybody's opinion, he didn't want to go on a massacre because of some dumbasses making fun of Natasha.
Ali made a look of realization as he nodded :"ohh, okay, okay. Well, I can change it. How about this then?"
Natasha watched as he got smaller as his teeth also shrank with him. The end result was that a terrifying creature that could fuck up the world just became one of the cutest things in it!
The ends of Ali's lips stretched upwards as he tilted his head :"well? How about this look and appearance then?"
Natasha was speechless as her plump lips were separated from each other :"who would've ever thought that those creatures that can cause so much chaos can look so cute... Alright, it's good. Remember to look like this from now on, okay?"
Ali nodded with an adorable smile, causing Natasha to smile a little as well :"got it. Now, let's see how we will get my food."
Natasha nodded with a small smile as she took out her phone and sat down on the bed. Ali hadn't strengthened her at the moment, so her phone didn't shatter when she grabbed it.
After all, if he had made her stronger, she would definitely freak out a little when her gun and dagger were crushed in her hands.
After Natasha typed what is phenethylamine and in what foods it can be found in, her smile grew bigger :"found it!
Foods high in phenylethylamine include nuts, citrus fruits, chocolates, "moldy" cheeses, and vinegar. Well, it seems like the food problem is solved."
Ali's smile also stretched wider as he nodded with a hum :"happy to hear that! Now that the food problem is solved, do you wanna hear about the benefits that I've brought you?"
When his words fell, she smiled at the memories of the strength and abilities shown by other Symbiotes :"yes, I do.
From what I have seen the other Symbiotes can do, I have high hopes. And since you said that you are special among the Symbiotes, then I'm looking forward to it even more."
Ali chuckled as he nodded with a smile :"Well, if you have seen other Symbiotes, you already know that giving super strength, super speed, super durability are common.
I also have strengthened you to a hellish degree. But I had kinda deactivated it so that you wouldn't freak out, since you could easily turn your gun into scrap metal."
Natasha had grown serious, so she wasn't smiling anymore. But when Ali finished his sentence, she frowned with a raised eyebrow :"So you can just choose for me to be strong or not when we're bonded?"
Ali sighed helplessly at how paranoid she was and nodded :"yes, I can. But don't worry, I won't do it unless necessary. Like just now.
Alright, let me explain how much I've strengthened you with just these three common abilities.
Now that we're bonded, you can lift at least 50 tons with ease, can move at least at 1'500 MPH, twice the speed of sound, and can just ignore bullets."
Natasha's eyes went wide a little bit, but she calmed down as she nodded with a serious face :"yeah, I have seen how Venom and Carnage are able to flip over cars and even throw them blocks away with it.
There have also been reports of bullets not having any effect on them at all. The speed that they've shown is also very impressive.
So you're saying that I have all of those right now even without turning to look like a hulking monstrosity?"
Ali had a blank face as he looked at his host :"Natasha, you're seriously judgemental towards the appearance of my race, you know?"
Natasha blushed a little as she apologized :"alright, I'm sorry, okay? It's just that your looks and appearances are rather... odd to us... Ahem ahem, anyway, let's get back to the subject."
Ali couldn't roll his eyes, but it still didn't stop him from trying as he sighed :"alright, I guess you will get used to it.
Yes, that's one of the reasons for why I'm special. I don't need to fully cover you to make you stronger.
However, me doing that will also bring you great benefits. If there is something that can harm you, I can absorb the damage instead of you and act like an armor.
Also, because of me being able to shapeshift, I can create weapons or other things to help you in battle."
Natasha nodded with a thoughtful look as she gently pinched her chin between her fingers :"I see.
Don't worry, I wasn't going to ask you to always stay hidden. What about your weaknesses? The reports that I have read about Symbiotes state that your kin is very weak to fire and high frequency sounds."
Ali smirked smugly as he snickered :"another thing that makes me special. You see, unlike other Symbiotes, I'm actually completely immune to sound waves.
In fact, the louder a sound is, the more it will excite and stimulate me! But the weakness to fire is still there, so you should be careful."
Natasha sighed in relief as she nodded :"happy to know that I can still attend parties. Otherwise, Tony, another hero, wouldn't really like you. Any other powers or weaknesses that you should tell me?"
Ali's smirk grew bigger as his teeth returned to their original form slightly :"a few, actually. You see, I'm not special because of my immunity to high frequency sounds.
The reason why I'm special is because of my ability to adapt unstoppably! You may think that it's nothing much, but I can adapt to anything.
Heck, even fire is just a temporary weakness. My adaptability is so strong that I can adapt to anything in a matter of seconds, minutes at most!"
This time Natasha was surprised. Her eyes went wide as her strategic mind processed just how horrifying this ability is :"so you're saying that as long as you're not obliterated in a single second or attack, you will adapt to it?!"
Ali nodded with his smile still on his face :"yes, and once I adapt to it, I will be completely immune to it.
And I should correct you on someone, Natasha, I can't die. Even though almost all of us Klyntars can regenerate rapidly, my regenerative power is just on a whole nother level!
Think of it like this. Even if a knife cuts your hand, the wound is completely healed the moment it appears.
Think of that, and imagine it as thousands of times stronger. That's how strong my regenerative power is!
So even though I'm not invincible, you don't have to worry about dying. Because even a single drop of your blood is more than enough for me to completely heal you!
By the way, even if I die, I can actually come back to life. And if that happens, I will be forever immune to the cause of my death."
Natasha was shocked, completely surprised since her Symbiote just said that he defies death. But she still kept calm as she raised an eyebrow :"Are Symbiotes supposed to know everything about themselves the moment they're born, or are you just bragging?"
Ali rolled his eyes, it was obvious this time with how his eyes expanded a bit :"I don't brag, Natasha. I always tell the truth when it comes to my abilities.
I'm not one to overestimate myself, I will just say the truth and the facts. The reason why I know I can't be killed and will come back even if I die, is because I have been killed before."
Natasha was confused as she raised her beautiful eyebrow :"what? Didn't you say that I'm your first host? How have you died before?"
Ali sighed with an annoyed look :"you see, most Klyntars don't really like their offsprings that much. That was the case for my parent.
Mine didn't really like me, and because of its host not wanting a competition and a Klyntar that can become as strong as my parent, they decided to kill me.
Which they were successful since they used extremely high frequency sounds and some special means such as mind control to kill me.
However, because of my adaptability and regenerative powers, I came back to life when they had left because of thinking that they had succeeded.
And because of that, I'm now immune to both high frequency sounds and mind control. So you don't need to worry about any being trying to play mind games with either of us."
<In case you haven't read the auxiliary chapter about Ali's powers, Klyntars can't die unless they want to.
The reason why they have been killed is because they have gone through so much pain that they gave up.
The logic in Ali's case is that a being who knew about this ability that the Klyntars have decided to make sure that he's dead.
So the said being used mind control to get Ali away from the Symbiote that the being has and get him where the high frequency sounds won't effects its own Symbiote.
And after making Ali reach the point where he wants to give up, it used the mind control to make Ali self destruct. But unfortunately for those two, Ali came back to life and lost two of the three weaknesses that he has!>
Natasha was quiet for a moment before she nodded with a gentle sigh :"must be rough, huh? To have your own parent want to kill you."
Ali sighed as well as he tilted his head left and right a few times :"I'll admit, it's not the most pleasant feeling, but what's done is done.
And besides, I didn't really know my parent since those two assholes seemed to have decided to kill me even before I was born."
Ali smirked as he raised an eyebrow :"So now that you know about my oh so sad origin story, do you want to help me get revenge once we grow stronger than ever possible?"
Natasha smirked as well as she flipped her long, crimson hair back :"Well, the offer of such power is too tempting.
I would be a fool to pass out on it when I have seen just how strong a normal Symbiote is. And you have the potential to be so much stronger.
You also promised that you won't harm innocent people and even if you eat, you will only eat bad guys.
Alright then, I agree to be your host. I hope that we will be able to trust each other from now on, partner.
I know that you already know my name, but let me introduce myself. My name is Natasha Romanoff AKA Black Widow, it's nice to meet you, Majesty."
Ali chuckled as he created a hand and raised it for her to shake, which she did with a smile :"nice to meet you, Natasha. Happy teaming up with you."
