Back in Earth-65, or Ghost-Spider's dimension.

Gwen was feeling like she was sleeping on the world's comfiest bed as she woke up. She was feeling extremely refreshed. It was as if she'd had the best sleep possible tonight.

Soon, she fluttered open her eyes while stretching in the comfy bed.

She yawned as everything from the previous night started coming back to her.

[ALEX!!!] She fumed.

[Morning, Gwen!] He was cheery.

[L-last night! What the f-fuck was all that?!] She felt extremely embarrassed about what she'd experienced last night and was trying to hide it behind a mask of anger.

[I know you had fun.] He teased her.

[You ZAPPED ME with electricity… on my… my…] Her face was getting redder by the second.

[Your nipples and clit?] He chuckled at how she was able to swear so easily but was embarrassed about mentioning this.

[This is serious!] She didn't like his nonchalant attitude.

[I was serious too. There were two reasons why I did it. One was because I know how much of a masochistic slut you are. Don't try to deny it, I know.] He was just messing with her. She wasn't into pain. She was just into electricity play.

[Bullshit.] She denied it vehemently.

[The other reason was to unlock something amazing…] He didn't pay attention to her denial and moved on to the next topic.

[What?] She seemed to be deflated after a while of fuming and asked him with a helpless tone.

[I'll show you…] He made her bring her hand up and suddenly little sparks started coming out of her fingers.

[Woah…] She seemed mesmerized by the look of little electric sparks being created in her hands.

[Bio-Electricity, this was the second reason that I wanted to zap you. I'd noticed the potential for this ability hidden in your genome and had to use a catalyst to awaken the ability. Hence the overwhelming pleasure while being zapped with electricity.] He said with a completely flat tone that made Gwen think that he did it only to awaken her ability.

[So that's why you did all that?] She didn't realize the slight tinge of disappointment in her tone.

[Of course not. There were other ways to awaken the ability. I went with the most explosive and pleasurable one… Who doesn't like a kinky good time?] He asked her rhetorically as he zapped her nipple again.

"Ahh!" She shrieked with a girly voice as she jumped up with full force. Alex had to nail her down and suppress her otherwise she would've made a hole in the ceiling.

[Easy there…] He said in a reprimanding tone.

[Easy yourself. Why are you zapping me?] She wanted revenge and tried to discharge electricity from her body, thinking it would make Alex uncomfortable.

[It's to help you train your ability. The more electricity you experience in vulnerable situations, the better your power…] He semi-bullshit her. He was only doing this because he liked her cute reactions.

[Why aren't you being affected by my electricity?] She ignored him and asked as she realized that the electricity wasn't affecting him at all.

[I also have the ability to manipulate lightning on a small scale. Last night, I suppressed an electricity blast from your ability awakening which would've completely destroyed your room, literally vaporizing most of the stuff in here.] He said in a nonchalant way.



[Wait, really?!] Her eyes were wide open.

[Yeah.]

[I don't know what to say… Thank you I guess… But still. Can't you stop doing these kinds of things? It's inappropriate…] Gwen wanted to set some boundaries.

[What's inappropriate about it? The two of us are basically permanently bonded to each other, physically and mentally. I saw in that guy's memories… What do you call it… Yes, marriage, we're basically married, and that too on a really deep level. This kind of stuff is completely normal.] He told her as if it was a matter of fact.

[M-Marriage? I-I don't even have a boyfriend…] She didn't know how to react to his words.

[Well, that's how it is… Also, I saw quite a few different things in that guy's memory and I want to try all those things with you… call it curiosity.] He whispered.

[W-What kind of things?] She was feeling slightly apprehensive of his tone.

[The sexual kind my dear Gwen. There are so many things for us to try, vaginal, anal, role-play, and this unique thing that I saw in his memories. I think it's called tentacles.] Alex was absolutely loving her increasingly embarrassed reactions.

[Alex… I'm-I'm a virgin… Let's…] She was overwhelmed and scared by the stuff he'd mentioned.

[That's why I'm taking things slow, babe… Don't worry. For now, though we have something important to do.]

[What?] She could feel his evil smirk even though she couldn't see it.

[Practice, of course…] He said as slowly the area around her crotch and chest started compressing.

He was going to give her the equivalent of a morning fuck before she could get on with her day. He wouldn't have sex with her yet, he was going to take his sweet time and enjoy corrupting her and making her his lively depraved bitch of a host.

…

After a morning orgasm, Alex got her ready for college.

And as per his promise, he was the one who chose her clothes. She'd ended up wearing a crop top with denim shorts.

Her piercing was also visible from the crop top that she was wearing.

She didn't mind the clothes and actually quite liked them. Gwen didn't realize but Alex had already taken control of quite a few basic things in her life within a single day.

Alex also had some risque fun with her in college by teasing her sensitive spots every once in a while. He liked messing with her.

When college ended, she asked Alex for her Ghost-Spider suit and went to do some superhero business.

…

"Woohoo! I've missed this so much…" Gwen screamed as she swung around through Manhattan while doing intense maneuvers and going at full speed.

[You were swinging through the city with your powers suppressed yesterday…]

[Yeah, but that was different… I couldn't actually do anything intense. Hell, all I was doing was to swinging around the city and making my presence visible… After those 39 other planets appeared, there were a few days of mass hysteria but things have seemed to calm down for now.] She told him through their telepathic connection.

[It's temporary… You know that, right? All of those worlds are currently in a 'laying-low' situation, preparing for whatever is about to come… At some point, there will be an influx of chaos that will completely destroy all semblance of peace…]

[I know…] She was somber.

[You need to prepare yourself. And you need to get stronger.] He gave her a reality check.



[How though? I haven't been able to improve myself for quite a while. For one thing, my powers were suppressed, and even before that, I'd never been able to cross the threshold of lifting ten tons. Hell, I haven't even reached that ten-ton point again after that one time. My strength always falls short. Bonding with you is the only reason that my power has increased a bit, before that, it was all stagnant.] She hadn't been able to increase her strength after the initial month when her body was getting used to the spider bite mutation.

[Yeah, yeah. That's all in the past. Bonding with me was the best thing that could've happened to you. I can easily fix that.] Alex told her with a prideful touch in his tone.

[Narcissistic much?] She quipped, interrupting him.

[Don't interrupt me…] He threatened her and pinched her nipples as she swung through the city.

"Ahh!" She lost her balance and ended up losing control of her trajectory.

Alex had to control her body in the meantime so that she doesn't fall.

[Don't do that!] She was mad.

[Consider this a lesson. And I like messing around with you at the worst possible time… Mostly because I know that I can take control when you mess up and protect you like the little baby that you are.] He teased her.

[Well… Don't do that… Please?] She knew that she couldn't win against him and decided to try a different tactic.

He ignored her and continued, [Let's get back to what we were talking about. Your strength. Bonding with me is going to slowly change your body into something much better than a human. Especially the upper limit of your strength. I've basically removed all limitations from your body and you can get as strong as you want. But the catch is that you have to train. Not only the basic stuff like lifting and running. You need to learn martial arts and develop your bio-electricity. You have a whole lot to do.]

[I don't need to learn martial arts. My reflexes are very, very fast.] She didn't want to spend time learning.

[Yes and imagine a person comes with similar reflexes as you and who also has mastery over melee combat… They would completely whoop your ass. Take Wolverine for example, the guy is a master of melee combat and he could whoop your ass in three seconds flat. Your superhuman reflexes ain't shit in front of him. The best you can do is run away before he reaches you.]

He didn't mention that Wolvorine's base strength was weaker than hers. The guy could beat her up even without going all out. He wanted to motivate her, not dishearten her.

[…That's hurtful.]

[And truthful. And I'm going to make sure that that changes soon. I'm going to create a regimen that you'll be following to the dot from now on. If you don't want to then I'll make sure that you do.] He said with a tone of finality.

[You talk as if you know all this stuff.]

[I do. I know my stuff very well. Now we have to do something important. Let's go to your empty warehouse where you usually go when you want to punch something.] He wasn't going to go into detail about the origins of his knowledge.

[How do you know that?]

[I can read you like an open book Gwenny…] He imitated her father's tone.

[Please don't call me that.]

[Why? I saw that daddy is a nice term of endearment for your significant other…] He teased her.

[God… Please, no…] She didn't want to call Alex daddy.

[Haha… Let's go. Stop swinging back to your house.] He caught on to her act.

[But…] She tried to bargain.

[Now. We have to test your powers after the enhancements and how strong you are at your base level.] He wasn't having it.

[Fine…] She sulked as she swung to the empty warehouse.





"Hah!" Gwen punched a sleek black circular disk-like surface that was hanging from the ceiling of the warehouse.

She'd used her full strength to attack without being enhanced by Alex.

[Great, one last test. Grab the barbell.] The disk that was hanging from the ceiling fell down into Gwen's outstretched hands and transformed into a barbell.

Since there was no equipment in the warehouse he'd ended up using the malleability of the symbiote body to create constructs to test out Gwen's abilities.

Slowly the barbell started getting heavier. Alex was augmenting its density to make it heavier.

He wanted to check how much she could lift without her strength being augmented by him.

Its weight kept getting heavier and heavier as it reached Gwen's threshold of 10 tons. She seemed to be breaking a sweat but still didn't seem like it was her limit.

"Aaargh!!" She was doing her best as the barbell kept getting heavier and heavier.

Soon, she wasn't able to hold out and ended up dropping it on the ground.

[12 Tons. No enhancement. See what I meant about breaking any limits that you have? As long as you train consistently, I'll have you contend with the likes of The Hulk and Thor, beings whose strengths are far beyond Superhuman level and firmly within Cosmic levels.] 'Let's not talk about the World-Breaker Hulk… The Hulk in this timeline is close to the one in the MCU as he's shown and let's have it stay that way…'

He didn't want to talk about how The Hulk is essentially a being with infinite potential. The angrier he gets, the more his strength increases. And the increase is exponential, which makes his physical strength unapproachable unless you take him out quickly.

He also didn't talk about the various versions of Spider-Men that were better than her. He would have to explain a lot of stuff to her if he did that. She sat at an average level in the Spider-Man spectrum, not the weakest Spider-Man, but far from being the strongest.

[I can punch through a building to the point that it completely collapses?] She seemed interested in the prospect.

[Sure you can. But it'll take time, effort, and patience. I'll manage everything else. Now though, it's time to test out my enhancement to your strength.]

[Can we take a break? My arms are sore after pushing myself so much…]

[Nope. I'll take care of the soreness.] She was still wearing her Ghost-Spider costume so he was easily able to administer the right chemicals into her arms to bring her back to perfect shape.

[Are you going to do this every time I get sore from training?] She asked with dread visible on her face.

[Of course. How else are you going to get strong efficiently? Don't worry, I'll make a sustainable program for you with plenty of incentives.]

[Incentives?] She had a bad feeling about the incentives that he was offering.

[Pick the barbell back up. Let's test the enhancement.] He brought her back on track.

She grumbled a bit but still picked up the 12 Ton barbell with ease.

[Let's start increasing the weight.] He told her as the barbell kept getting heavier and heavier.

He noticed her start sweating after the barbell reached 30 Tons.

She finally dropped it when it reached 35 Tons.

[A three times enhancement to your physical stats. Not too bad... I can probably increase this in the future…]

[How?] She was curious about his strengthening procedure.

[That's for me to know and you to experience.] He wasn't going to tell her so easily.

[No fair…] She pouted.

[Life isn't fair, baby.]

They spent the next few hours testing the enhancements on Gwen's various abilities and when everything was finally concluded, they went home.



On the way, Alex realized that he had quite a bit of autonomy over the system and that he could change and add quite a few things.

He'd already made a few changes to the status panels.

[ «Status- Host #1»

«Name: Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider)»

«Bonding Rate: 4%»

«Powers: Superhuman Physique (12 Tons)— Spider Sense— Wall Crawling— Bio-Electricity»

]

He'd combined the physical powers into a single power instead of separate ones like strength, agility, etc. And he also added the amount that she could lift to Gwen's physique stat.

He also realized that it would automatically be updated from now on. He only had to measure her base stats once to initialize this process.

He'd also made an addition to his own Skills.

[ «Skill Acquisition»

«EP: 7»

«Owned Skills: ‹Superhuman Grade Physique Creation› ‹Enhanced 6th Sense› ‹Biological Manipulation› ‹Basic Lightning Manipulation› ‹Camouflage› ‹Host Enhancement› ‹Devour› ‹Copy›»

]

‹Host Enhancement›:: Enhances the host's base stats by a factor of 3 times. Passive skill. Also affects the auxiliary powers that the host of the symbiote possesses. Power enhancement depends on factors like the type of the powers and compatibility with those powers.

He saw his depressingly low 7 EP and got sad since it was stuck there unless he devoured a large number of people or increased the bonding rate with more girls.

Sadly for him increasing the Bonding rate wasn't an easy task.

It also kept slowing down as he went forward. Going from 0 to 10 percent was much easier than going from 10 to 15 percent. So it was going to take time.

He'd already decided to use one of his bodies for extensive fucking purposes as he was going to power-level the bonding rate with a few girls to start actually generating the EP quickly. He would do it with the next version of earth that he would reach.

In his skills panel, he combined all the physical-based skills into a single banner— Physique, and also added the ‹Host Enhancement› skill which will keep track of how much he can enhance his hosts.

[Good work, Gwen. You can do your hero business if you want or go home. I'll spend some time creating a training regimen for you.] He told her before going silent.

[Hey Alex…] She seemed hesitant.

[What is it?] He asked.

[What's the incentive that you're talking about?] She couldn't hold back her curiosity.

[Oh? You wanna know?] He teased her with an amused tone.

[Y-Yeah…]

[Let's give you a little sneak peek…] His words gave Gwen chills.

The next instant, Alex separated a part of his body and turned it into a large and comfy bed. After devouring such a large number of people in The Amazing Spider-Man world, he had an abundance of mass that could be separated from his body.

The best thing was that this mass was shared between all the bodies. There was an indistinct connection that helped to make a lot of things common for all the bodies. Alex assumed that this had to do with the fact that he was the only consciousness that was controlling those bodies.

[Sit on the bed.] He commanded her and Gwen instinctively followed his words.

Her ghost spider suit disappeared as she was left on the bed while completely naked. For aesthetic purposes, Alex left a pitch-black collar on her neck.

[Hey, this is demeaning…] She complained as she brought her hands to the collar and tried to remove it.



[Then why are you wet?] He teased her and that collar started expanding into a black leotard that started covering her body while leaving her breasts completely exposed.

As the leotard covered her crotch, he started to tease her snatch.

[❤Alex…❤] "❤Mhh~❤" She couldn't hold back the moan that came with Alex's touch.

Two tendrils also appeared from the collar and wrapped around her nipples, using them as leverage to pull up her breasts and connect them to the collar.

"❤Ohh, Alex~❤" She moaned out loud and tried to bring her hands to her breasts and crotch to augment the pleasure that Alex was making her feel.

[You can't touch yourself, Gwen…] Alex reprimanded her, and shackles formed on her wrists and pulled them away, tying her hands behind her back.

[❤Alexx~❤] She whined as she tried to struggle, but it was futile.

"❤Nhh~❤" She kept making cute sounds as Alex teased her.

[This is good enough. Let's try something different…] He told her as he made sure that the teasing couldn't make her cum, it would keep making her more and more aroused and desperate.

[❤Alex~❤] Her thoughts were starting to get blurred.

[Open wide…] He told her as a phallus that came out of the collar suddenly assaulted her mouth.

Her moans got muffled as the phallus started assaulting her mouth.

[I'll only make you cum, if you can keep the whole thing in for a full minute without gagging…]

[❤What?~❤] Her thoughts were slurred and the telepathy reflected that.

[Start sucking.] The phallus grew to six inches and started going deeper into her mouth.

She started gagging soon, but an inch was still out of her mouth.

Alex pulled out and gave her a moment to breathe before going back in.

He was training her to suck cock like a pro. He was also enjoying playing with Gwen like that. He really liked the little nub of her tongue piercing that was touching his cock inside her mouth.

Although not a human anymore, he was feeling all the human emotions and didn't seem to have lost his humanity completely. Though the same couldn't be said for his moral compass.

At first, she resisted the action of sucking on the cock since she felt like it was demeaning. But soon, she started getting really desperate. Alex wasn't making her cum, nor was he letting her do it herself.

She ended up giving in and reluctantly started sucking on the cock that was invading her mouth.

It took a while, but soon she was able to suck on the 6-inch phallus with relative ease.

She was getting better quickly. Finally, Alex forced the cock to stay inside her mouth for 45 seconds before she started gagging.

He started taking longer and longer intervals as she finally reached the one-minute mark of not gagging while sucking the cock. She'd been utterly desperate and was trying her best to keep up for the last thirty minutes and when she was successful, she finally felt some mental relief, knowing that she wouldn't have to endure the teasing anymore.

[Good girl… Here's your reward.] After edging her for so long, he finally made her cum as he pinched her nipples and massaged her neglected clit.

[❤Ahh~!❤] She screamed and squirted, hard.

Just as she orgasmed, Alex played her and started filling her mouth with his cum.

[❤Argh~ ❤Alex!!] She was not prepared and tried to spit it out but Alex was prepared. As she orgasmed like crazy, he made sure that she drank all of his cum by covering her mouth and forcing everything down her throat.

It wasn't semen per se, it was more of a nutrient formula with the consistency of cum. He could make it taste like anything he wanted.

«Bonding Rate: 6%»

'Shitty ass efficiency…' He complained inwardly before putting the thought at the back of his mind.



Back in the MCU earth.

After forming a preliminary bond with Natasha, Alex realized that his timing was impeccable. He'd infiltrated the Avengers at the perfect time since they were leaving on the same night of the day that he'd bonded with Natasha.

The team would be consisting of Captain America, Falcon, Wanda, and Black Widow.

That night, they boarded the Quinjet and left for Lagos.

"So Stark didn't come because…" Natasha trailed off as she was talking to Captain America.

"He's busy with something… Probably some sort of precaution against those 39 other versions of Earth…" He told her.

"Why are we sure that they're Earths?" She asked him.

"They've researched and probed some stuff… Those planets are identical to Earth with signs of a very similar development of life and civilization… For all intents and purposes, those are copies of our Earth." He had a solemn tone.

"So he's working on what? Some kind of planetary shield?" Natasha asked Steve.

"Not sure, but knowing him, it's probably a spear. The alignment of the cluster doesn't point to us being at the center. We're at the outskirts of the main cluster, with all the planets orbiting around two central worlds." He described the structure of the cluster.

"I'm surprised and apprehensive that the different gravitational pulls haven't completely ruined all of the planets already…"

"That all points to an external force maintaining the balance… I don't even know what kind of power would be able to do something of such a scale…" Steve said with dread in his tone.

"Yeah, like we didn't already have enough on our plate. With invading aliens, hammer gods, killer A.I. robots, and Hydra bullshit, this is what we were missing… Some cosmic overlord playing experiment with our world…" There was a sarcastic quip from the driver's seat.

"You're not wrong Sam…" Steve agreed with Falcon.

"But we have to keep going…" Natasha said something that she thought Steve would be saying.

Steve was indeed about to say that and looked over at her. Natasha had a cheeky smile on her face.

"I know you better than you realize, Steve." She told him as she sat back in her seat, briefly glancing at the quiet Wanda for a few seconds.

Wanda hadn't spoken ever since they'd boarded the Quinjet. Seemingly deep in thought.

At this time, Alex had been waiting for the right time to work his magic and bond with Wanda. He was waiting for everyone to get comfortable since it was going to be a while before they reached Lagos.

Soon, he got his chance. Natasha was resting with her eyes closed, Steve was going through the mission briefing, and Sam using his phone as he sat in the pilot's seat. The plane was on auto-pilot.

Lastly, Wanda ended up drifting to sleep.

'Now's my chance.' An invisible tendril extended from Natasha and slowly made its way to Wanda.



Within seconds, Alex's tendril reached Wanda and separated from Natasha. At the next moment, he completely merged into Wanda's clothes.

Then he tried to bond with her. That was when things changed, Wanda's ‹Chaos Magic› started going haywire.

Just as Alex formed his bond with her and took root inside her body, there was a red flash that created a wave of telekinetic force. It broke the seat that Wanda was sitting on, and threw Steve off of his seat while cracking the tablet that he was using to read the mission brief.

Natasha was sitting on the seat behind Wanda so the broken backrest of Wanda's seat was launched into Natasha's face who barely blocked the huge projectile with her arm.

Sam, who was sitting in the pilot's seat got his head banged at the side.

"Huh?" Wanda who had been asleep was startled awake when she felt her powers go haywire.

Although she quickly got herself back together, the damage was already done.

No one was too hurt but Natasha's arm was bleeding after she'd blocked the projectile while Sam had gotten a concussion. Steve was perfectly fine, though. He'd been enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum and wasn't as easily hurt as Sam and Natasha who, even though extremely well trained, were still in the realm of humans.

Natasha quickly jumped up from her seat and jumped behind it, using the backrest of the seat as cover while taking a defensive position. She used that moment to wrap up her bleeding arm which she'd used to block the projectile.

"Wanda? What's going on?" Steve called out while also taking a defensive posture behind his shield.

Sam was concussed so he wasn't able to respond as quickly.

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Wanda had a worried and guilty frown as she repeatedly apologized to them with panic evident in her voice.

Natasha and Steve made brief eye contact as they realized that Wanda's loss of control was involuntary.

"Are you all right now, Wanda? Natasha asked from behind her cover.

"Yes, yes… I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened. I was asleep and suddenly, my powers started going haywire…" She was trying to explain with panic in her tone.

"It's fine Wanda. Accidents happen…" Steve understood the situation and didn't blame Wanda for this. Her powers would get unstable every once in a while when she had her emotions heightened so he wasn't exactly surprised by this. It was unexpected but not too big of a deal.

The situation wasn't bad as the Jet wasn't damaged and no one was hurt too badly. So they continued on their mission after having a talk with Wanda.

'Damn… I didn't expect this.' Alex was sweating inside. He'd realized that the chaos magic that Wanda had was very sensitive to foreign entities and it had detected him.

The telekinetic burst was a defensive reaction by her chaos magic against the invading entity. Alex was basically a foreign entity that was intruding into her body and ended up activating the defense mechanism.

If he'd tried to bond with Wanda after she'd had some practice and initial mastery over her chaos magic then things would've been much more difficult. He probably would've been detected by her easily, long before he had a chance to touch her.

'Thank fuck I didn't delay this. She's very new to her powers and thinks that it's nothing but basic telekinesis and mind control… But Chaos magic is just so much more…' He knew of the true potential of Wanda's powers.



The Scarlet Witch is one of the most overpowered beings in the Marvel Multiverse. At one point, she wiped out every single mutant from the face of the entire multiverse with three words.

All it took for her was to say, 'No more Mutants' and she warped reality to make it that Mutants didn't even exist. Not just in Earth-616, but every single version of earth.

The Scarlet Witch completely warped reality within the entire multiverse with three words. And then she even fixed it. Changing reality throughout the multiverse again.

'House of M was fucking bonkers…' Alex thought as he recalled how overpowered Wanda is in the comics.

Granted, this was a very specific scenario with quite a few conditions having been met.

But it told of the huge potential that Wanda actually had.

Next up he checked her status.

[ «Status- Host #4»

«Name: Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch)»

«Bonding Rate: 0%»

«Powers: Low Human Physique— Chaos Magic (Dormant)»

]

'Yeah, that makes sense… All she's ever done us to use telekinesis and basic mind magic. It's not even a single percentage point of what Chaos Magic can do…'

Wanda had her hands wrapped around her legs and her head buried in her knees as she brooded and felt guilty about what had just happened.

"Hey…" Natasha came to her and sat beside her.

Wanda didn't reply.

"It's all right, Wanda. It wasn't your fault. All right?" She tried to comfort her.

"I'm just a liability…" Wanda's state of mind was a little unstable.

"Of course, not. You're very strong. You're coming with us for two reasons. The first is to get experience and the second is that you are our heavy hitter. Me, Steve, and even Sam. We can take care of almost any normal situation we want. But if we end up running into an unbreakable wall. We'll need you, okay? You're very important and far from being a liability."

Nat felt like she was babysitting Wanda.

"You don't have to comfort me, Nat… I understand that I need to gain better control over my powers." Wanda's tone was helpless but also had conviction.

Nat didn't say anything and put a hand on her shoulder as a show of her support before leaving her.





After the little Quinjet incident, things went in a similar manner as they did in the movie.

Their mission was to prevent Rumlow, a Hydra agent, from getting access to something that was being developed by a lab in Lagos.

They'd eventually found out that it was a Biological weapon.

Rumlow's team infiltrated the lab, Falcon, Captain America, and Wanda were the assault team while Natasha was on recon.

Captain America went into the building while Wanda and Falcon cleared out the people outside the building.

Though, he was a little late as Rumlow was of the building out before Cap could get to him.

Rumlow escaped the building while ten more Hydra agents were backing him up.

They were going to be making their getaway in an armored vehicle.

This was when Natasha came in.

"Haah!" She ambushed one guy with a precision strike to the back of his neck and incapacitated him. At the same time, she tased another person.

She ducked to dodge the attack of one person while swiping his legs as she tased the guy who was approaching her from behind. She punched the guy who'd just fallen in front of her in the neck to incapacitate him.

'4 down 6 more to go.'

By this point, three guys had approached her. She escaped their encirclement by using the hood of their armored car as a springboard to kick one of the guys right in his face, knocking him out. Then, she used the momentum generated by the kick to slide to the other side of the hood of the car.

There was another person who had been approaching her from the front of the car as she moved to the other side. She wrapped her leg around that guy's neck and flipped him over while jumping off of the car's hood, pinning him down and knocking him out.

By then, she had already been approached by another two guys and she had to get into a hand-to-hand melee with them. She dodged their punches while trying to counter and look for an opening. Within seconds she found an opening and parried one guy's punch while redirecting the other one's attack to the guy she'd just parried.

This created an opening for her to stab one of them in the neck using a pocket knife while using her taser bracelet to knock the other out.

Seeing that the last two guys were about to approach her, she opened the door of the car in the face of one of them, disorienting him for a second and taking advantage of that moment to shoot a projectile taser from her bracelet to the guy's face.

Not seeming to care about his own life, the last guy approached her with a mad charge.

Nat used his own momentum against him as she slipped around the guy's head and imbalanced him, making him fall face-first into the hard concrete floor with a bang.

All this time, Rumlow had been looking for an opportunity to ambush her. He'd let her take out every single one of his men just to get an opportunity to get her.

"Argh!" He'd grabbed her hair and pulled her back. Nat turned around and hit his arm at a particular muscle release point which should've made him lose his grip.



But after punching him three times unsuccessfully, she changed tactics and swiped his legs, trying to disbalance him while twisting him to use his own force against him.

She was successful in getting him to loosen his grip on her hair since he had to free his hand to balance himself, but he didn't fall.

As Rumlow balanced himself she used her taser bracelet to hit his neck in hopes that he would get knocked out.

That was when Alex interfered, he amplified the discharge by many times through the use of ‹Basic Lightning Manipulation›.

"Arghh!" Rumlow fell to the ground.

"Aah!" The shock wasn't only felt by Rumlow who got incapacitated, but also by Natasha. Since Alex had used her bracelet as a medium to discharge a huge amount of electricity, it also got fried and got extremely hot.

Natasha could see that it had gotten ruined after that extremely strong electric discharge and was really hot. She took it off as soon as possible and threw it off. Her wrist had some light burns after that.

She was very surprised by the bracelet's malfunction. This was the first time that her weapons had done something like this. Although it helped her, she was curious about what happened.

But she didn't have the time to think about the broken bracelet. She had to call her team here. She was seeing that the shock had only affected Rumlow for a few seconds and he was already getting up.

She understood that he must've gone through some version of the super soldier serum made by Hydra. So, she wasn't going to be a match for him in direct combat. She needed backup.

-Guys, I got Rumlow! I need backup.- She said into her intercom.

Just as she finished, Rumlow had already gotten up and he was about to attack her.

By this time, Captain America had come out of the building into a balcony and was visible to Natasha.

Seeing that Rumlow was getting up with Natasha seeming pretty roughed up, he jumped from the 5th floor while using his shield as a cushion for the fall.

Rumlow had already charged Natasha as she was barely defending herself from his assault.

She had already realized that he had been enhanced by some sort of knockoff super soldier serum and was staying on the defensive, trying to buy time until the others came.

Within moments, Steve ambushed Rumlow who was about to deliver a punch to Natasha's abdomen, and swiped his legs.

Cap was a far different beast when compared to Natasha. His swipe directly had Rumlow off his legs as he fell down.

As Steve started to engage Rumlow in heavy melee combat, Natasha thought that she could get a breather for a few seconds before backing him up but she didn't have that luxury.

From the armored car that was Rumlow's getaway vehicle, four more men rushed out. Probably the last of the assailants.



Natasha sighed exasperatedly as she engaged them. Thankfully though, a flying bird came in time and helped her out by engaging two of the people. It was Falcon.

He'd rushed here after he and Wanda had gotten rid of everyone there. Wanda was also on her way.

Sam and Natasha made quick work of the last remaining four assailants.

Then they turned to Rumlow and Steve's fight.

"…You're coming with me!" Rumlow had a malevolent look on his face as he pressed the button in his hand.

*Click*

Instantly there was a big ball of fire in front of Captain America's face while Rumlow had vaporized completely. It seemed to have gotten stuck in its place though, as there was a crimson glow that seemed to be containing it.

It was Wanda. She had contained the explosion with much difficulty as evidenced by the expression on her face.

She tried her best to throw the explosion upward since she didn't know how long she would be able to contain it.

Alex decided to interfere here again as he didn't want the destruction of the research center to be blamed on Wanda. There were still people in there.

He didn't want their deaths to be on her conscience.

Wanda didn't feel any different but Alex channeled his new ability ‹Weak Magic Affinity› that he'd gotten from bonding with Wanda. He tried to augment it with Wanda's chaos magic while trying to enhance her abilities to be able to channel more magic.

Although this created a greater burden on Wanda's body, she was able to hold the explosion long enough to bring it up to the clear sky before letting it completely explode.

The moment she released the explosion though, she fainted with a nosebleed. The improper channeling and overexertion had been too much for her physique.

The major reason was that Alex hadn't had the time to augment her body yet. He wasn't able to enhance her base stats since there was no time.

Unlike in the movie, Natasha had been able to at least hold her own for a while against Rumlow. This wasn't just because of the stronger taser, but also because she had been slightly enhanced by him over the previous night.

He'd suppressed the ‹Host Enhancement› since he didn't want it to come off as unusual in such a situation.

Natasha suddenly being able to beat a guy that's been enhanced beyond human levels would come off as very suspicious.

It was the same with Wanda. He had suppressed the skill since he needed her to have a normal reaction to overexerting her powers.

Natasha picked up Wanda as they looked at the huge explosion in the sky.

"Let's go, Steve, Sam... Wanda needs help," Natasha called out so that they would move to the safe house.





-x-X-x-

[Natasha Romanoff…] Natasha heard a voice in her head as she was in the bathroom of a safehouse, nursing her wounds.

"Who's there!?" She instantly took a defensive posture and held the only thing that was near her and could be used as a weapon, scissors.

[Don't worry. I mean you no harm… I just wanted to introduce myself to you.] He calmed her down with her words and also biologically by altering a hormone a little.

"What are you?" She asked out into the air.

[I am an alien life form. Our species survives on a symbiotic basis. We join with our host and augment them as they provide us sustenance.]

"A-Are you… inside me?" She suppressed the fear that she was feeling and put on a stoic persona.

[You can talk to me telepathically. Just think of some words while trying to convey them to me.] He informed her.

[Are you inside me?] She sounded much more vulnerable to Alex when she talked telepathically.

[Yes. I bonded with you when you were fighting that person. I was in an injured state and needed to bond with someone to save my life.] He told her a random sob story.

[And you are now living inside me? Are you some sort of bug?] She felt disgusted as she thought of that.

[I'm not a bug, please. That's offensive. I'm a slime-based species. We have no fixed form and can turn it into whatever we want. I've been living in this world for a while, miss Avenger. You can call me Alex.]

[Your name sounds human to me.] She had sarcasm dripping from her tone.

[Yes, after living here for so long, I've decided to call myself Alex. I even have a face that I created based on what I thought I would have according to human standards. See…] Alex decided to show her his face.

Natasha saw a slime-like solid come out from her neck which then came to face her.

"That's creepy on so many levels…" She commented as she looked at the floating face in front of her.

Alex had black hair and a sharp face with a well-defined jawline.

In her curiosity, Nat couldn't help but bring her hand up to the face that was floating in front of her and run her fingers over his cheek.

That was when she realized something.

"Are you the reason that my shock bracer got fried?" She'd remembered that her reliable shock bracers had malfunctioned at the time when Alex told her he bonded with her.

"Yeah… I had to, I could tell that the guy was too strong to get incapacitated by a normal shock, so I had to amplify the attack. I used the bracelet as the medium for the amplification, which was why it got fried." Alex patiently explained to her before retracting back into her.

"So, you saved me?" She asked with slight disbelief laced in her tone.

[Well, I need you to be alive if I want to survive. Changing hosts is neither easy nor pleasant for our race.]



[But it's possible…] She caught on to his words.

[It is possible. But even that depends on the level of the bond that is present. For example, our current bond is completely superficial and I can detach from you with some effort and only a minor period of weakness. But as we go forward and our bond increases and strengthens, it'll become more and more difficult to separate from you. When the bond is at its strongest, our lives will be intertwined, you live, I live. You die, I die.]

He easily mixed some lies in with truths to her to sell the bond to her.

[Is that so?] She had a thoughtful expression on her face.

[Can you tell me your powers?] She asked him.

[Sure. They're pretty basic actually. I can enhance your physique to utter superhuman levels. Yes, you'll be able to beat Captain America in a one-to-one duel by completely overpowering him. I can't get you to levels close to The Hulk and Thor yet though. They are wholly different entities.]

[But you can…] She caught on to what he was suggesting.

[With enough time and a good enough host, we can both reach unprecedented levels. My presence has completely removed any limiter that you may have on your physical status. As long as you train, you get stronger. It's easy. Oh, and also, the physique enhancement will include enhancing your reflexes. You'll be able to react to things much sooner.]

[Amazing… And that electricity?] She remembered that he was able to channel energy.

[I have the ability to manipulate lightning. I haven't had the chance to train it yet so it's still in its early stages and is pretty weak.]

[If that's what you call weak then what's strong?] Natasha thought about the shock that seemed to travel through her entire body when he channeled the lightning.

[And it didn't do much to affect that Rumlow guy.] He told her.

[How much would the physical enhancements be in your opinion?] She asked.

[About three times your base stats for now. As I grow, that multiplier would increase slowly. Let's say you can press 1000 pounds for now. With me, you can hit 3000, easily.]

Alex glanced at her status as he told her.

[ «Status- Host #3»

«Name: Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow)»

«Bonding Rate: 0%»

«Powers: Peak Human Physique (1/2 Ton or 500 kg)— Melee Mastery— Espionage Mastery»

]

'Hell, I could punch harder than her if I was separated from her…' Alex's base strength without using a host was the equivalent of 15 Tons. But that was after devouring a Spider-Man and forming a deep bond with another.

The stronger people Alex bonds with, the greater enhancements he'll get to his own base stats.

The main reason that he went for Natasha was because of her combat mastery. She was one of the most prominent and experienced fighters in the MCU without concerning enhanced people like The Hulk and Steve.



The only reason she fell short was that she didn't have much physical strength to augment her skills.

'I'm going to get her to teach me everything about fighting and training…' Alex also wanted to become a strong melee combatant while being able to train other superheroes that he bonds with. He knew that some of the people that he would bond with would mostly be like Gwen-65 aka Ghost-Spider. They would have no actual training and in the scenarios where they run into a foe that's evenly matched they would get completely decimated.

[I'm not that strong.] She chuckled when she heard him say that she can press 1000 pounds.

[Don't sell yourself short. It's a thousand pounds, I can tell. Though it's your peak performance. You can only lift that much momentarily, your constant press weight should be around half of that.] He had a pretty good idea about her biology.

[…You're right. Damn.] She was impressed.

[Other things include enhanced regeneration, increased lifespan, and eventually, your body will become the perfect human existence.]

[Increased lifespan?]

[It's an abstract thing. I can enhance your metabolism and make sure that your cells are able to keep splitting for far longer than possible. I don't know the limits of the ability for now.]

[Damn…]

[So. I'll deepen the bond now… If you don't have any issues.] Alex told her and only gave her a few seconds to think

[Wait…]

[It's now or never Nat…]

[But…]

[Don't hesitate. Just do. Think of all the good that you can do… You can truly protect your loved ones…] He was basically enticing her like the devil.

[…Okay.] Nat had already been pretty convinced and she agreed after a moment of hesitation.

That was the signal for Alex to work his magic.

Black tendrils burst out of Natasha's body and ripped apart her leather combat suit, leaving her completely naked.

Before she could say anything about the bizarre scene in front of her, a tendril came to her face and covered every inch of visible skin. Going from her mouth to her nose, ears, and eyes. He suppressed all her senses as a mask formed over her face.

Next, the tendrils started coalescing into four large ones that were protruding from her wrists and legs. They then got fixed to the ground and started extending, suspending Natasha in the air by her four limbs.

[Alex…] Her voice was low to convey her discomfort. She still wasn't panicking but it wasn't exactly comfortable to have all your senses blocked, be unable to breathe, and be suspended in the air in a spreadeagle position.

[It's all fine. It'll only be a minute.] He told her as the tendrils started wrapping around her body and forming a secondary black-colored skin over her body which clung tightly to her curves. It especially made her perfect tits and ass look like they were just made to be fondled and played with.

The next instant, Natasha felt a prick in her neck. It didn't even make her flinch since she had an unholy amount of pain tolerance.

Alex formed a deeper bond with her as he enhanced her hormone production and metabolism while enhancing her sensitivity.
