Marvel: I'm a Symbiote-Chapter 174 0: More Truth

"Come on," Gwen scoffed at Samantha, "I wouldn't destroy the entire city just to kill him. I just wanted to fuck with him."

"Whatever you say," Samantha shook her head tiredly.

"Why are you here?" Gwen asked, "He's been fucking with me for months, trying one thing after another to make my life a living hell — Apparently for a social experiment," Gwen mumbled the last part to herself, "What does Shield have to do with him?"

Captain America turned herself over and sat up with some difficulty, "No need to help me or anything. It's just my leg that's broken." She snarked.

"You're a big girl," Gwen laughed but still didn't help her up, "You can take care of yourself."

Samantha narrowed her eyes at Gwen's distrust and showed an annoyed expression, "Shield doesn't involve themselves in civil affairs, Ms. Stacy. You know that. We couldn't help you with your charges without valid reasoning. We've kept track of your identity for a long time, and the best we could do was to keep the information under wraps."

When Gwen didn't answer and kept looking at her, Samantha sighed and leaned against a wall before speaking, "Murdock isn't a one-man show." She said, "He may have wrestled power away from Wilson Fisk's hands and taken over as the Kingpin, but there's more to it. He and his Hand both have support from an international party. They are the ones who are funding all of Murdock's operations. Although the Hand has existed long before Murdock came into power and became the leader, they don't have the kind of power to hold such a tight grip over this city's underworld."

'I guess that the Hand in this Earth is much weaker… Another discrepancy from the mainline Earth-65.' Alex thought to himself. The actual Hand was a massive ninja organization that spanned multiple continents.

"So you were here to confront him about it?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah. Who would've thought that he already had a failsafe in place? Before I realized it, I was shot with multiple paralyzing darts. There's a limit to how much I can dodge." She told Gwen.

"Oh, so you're what they call a dumbfuck," Gwen's suit eyes widened as if she had a eureka moment.

Samantha didn't respond to Gwen's dig, and asked, "So what now?"

"He knows that I'm not going to play his game anymore." She said, "Anything more happens, he's done."

"Along with New York City," Samantha said with a hint of anger. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"I have his card in my hand. It's not that difficult to intercept his wireless trigger signal." Gwen shrugged her concerns off.

Samantha was impressed by how well Gwen was dealing with everything, "I guess you have everything under control." She said.

"Yeah, well…" Gwen turned to the window, "Toodles." She waved before letting herself fall down from the 65th floor.

"Woohoo!" She screamed as she fell to the ground. Casting a web a few seconds before reaching the floor, she swung herself upward. Throwing webs from both hands, she propelled herself directly upward. She swung by Murdock who was holding on to the web for dear life. She gave him an amused laugh while swinging away.

Murdock looked at her with narrowed eyes as her figure grew smaller.

…

As Gwen spent a few seconds swinging, she heard a cry for help, "Crime never stops for Spider-Woman, huh…" She mumbled before changing directions.

[You should've killed him.] Alex said in her head as Gwen landed in between two people.

[Can't you do that even now?] She asked as she punched the burglar before grabbing the purse from his hands, [If you wanted to get rid of him, then he would've been dead long ago.] She told him telepathically while handing the woman her purse.

[I kind of wanted you to give in to your hate.] Alex told her, [It would've been fun to see a dark spider person for once…] Alex said.

Gwen laughed a little, [You say that as if you've met other spider people.] Though when he didn't reply, she got suspicious, [Right?]

[About that…] Alex started, [Let's go to our spot first.] He said.

[Sure, I guess…] Gwen said as she flipped her body mid-swing and propelled herself in the opposite direction.

On the way, she heard someone being bullied by a couple of high schoolers and made a turn.

"Hey guys…" She dropped behind the group of four older boys who were ganging up on a younger boy with glasses, "Whatcha' doing?" She asked curiously.

"None of your—" The boy abruptly stopped when he realized who was behind him.

"Spider-Woman…" He gasped, as the others stopped in their tracks. They were all a little scared by the eerie attire that Gwen was in, even though Alex had mellowed the demonic-looking design slightly from the aggressive tone that it previously had when she was facing Murdock.

"Come on, guys," Gwen said, "How would you feel if someone gave you a wedgie, huh? You're in high school, you have such bright futures ahead of you. Go on, think of what college you want to apply to instead of this kind of thing."

Gwen didn't know if her words had any effect or not, but they all scurried off quickly enough.

She shot her web on the ground and picked up the boy's glasses that had been previously knocked off, "Here…" She put the glasses on the boy's face and patted his head, "You're fine now."

"T-thanks, Spider-Woman…" He stuttered out with an awestruck look.

"Come on." She said, "I'll walk with you to your home. You can tell me all about those bullies. Let's start with your name…"

As the kid introduced himself, Gwen walked with him for a block or so before they reached his apartment, "Take care of yourself, okay Kyle?"

[I feel like you've become even more of a Spider-Man after bonding with your Venom…] Alex said, [Unlike what's supposed to happen.]

[All right, we're having this talk. How much do you know about all of this stuff?] She asked as she slingshotted herself to the air before quickly moving to their usual spot. It was the roof of a skyscraper close to the Empire State Building. As she landed, Alex appeared and hugged her from behind, "Hey beautiful…" He said as her hood and mask disappeared.

"Mm…" She closed her eyes and leaned into his arms comfortably. After a few seconds, "Tell me…" She said.

Alex freed her and held her shoulders to turn her around, "You know how I can control multiple bodies simultaneously, right?" He asked her.

"Yeah…" She nodded, "I'm still not interested in taking two of you at the same time."

"We'll get to that some other time," He said with a little laugh as he looked into her eyes, "I actually have a body on almost all of the forty planets at the current moment." He told her, "Bar a couple that are on the opposite end of the cluster."

"Forty Earths…" Gwen felt it hard for herself to wrap her head around forty different perspectives. She'd assumed that Alex could create five or six bodies at most since he never showed her anything beyond that.

"Yeah." Alex nodded, "And I don't know how, but something seems to have intertwined my fate with Spider-Man. Every time I land on the planet, my first encounter is usually Spider-Man. That is if that Earth's spider-person is still alive."

"How many of them are Gwen Stacy?" She asked him.

"What?" Alex was confused for a moment before seeing the possessive light in her eyes. He gave her a sly smile and said, "A couple actually. Honestly, I think a Gwenverse orgy is long overdue—" Alex's words were interrupted as Gwen kissed his lips roughly, pushing her tongue into his mouth and pouring a passionate feeling into him. She was feeling jealous and she was showing it in the most possessive way she could think of.

Alex was a little surprised by her abrupt action but didn't stay passive for too long. He quickly took back control and started dominating the kiss. He used Gwen's tongue piercing as leverage to control the movements of her tongue, making her weak in the legs as she leaned on him and could only let him control the pace.

When they finally separated, Gwen's tongue was still extended out of her mouth as her piercing extended from both sides of her tongue into a string that Alex grabbed in his hand, "Let me finish." He said with an admonishing tone, but Gwen could feel that he seemed somewhat relieved at her reaction.

"As you know, I needed a host to survive when I initially landed in this clusterfuck of planets. So I do have more than just you as my host." Alex said as Gwen's eyes widened at the thought of Alex having forty women who were in a similar relationship with him.

Just as she was about to speak, Alex lightly yanked the string, making her shut up, "Quiet. Let me finish," He said deeply, "What you think is not the case. After the first couple of planets, I got strong enough to sustain those bodies without needing a host. So all in all, I don't have forty women that I'm bonded with." He told her, "But yes, one of my hosts is a variant of you. But she's not Spider-Woman. She's just Gwen Stacy the Scientist."

After that, Alex freed her tongue and allowed her to speak, "Go, ask away." He said to her as a seat formed behind him and he sat on it, pulling Gwen with him. After their kiss, she didn't have it in her to resist and ended up on his lap as he caressed her hair.

"How many?" She asked.

"That's awfully rude." Alex remarked, "I very much care about the girls whom I'm bonded with. How would you feel if I called you host number 1, huh?" He asked.

"So I was your first?" Gwen caught his words with a slightly happy tone.

Alex smiled after seeing that she didn't seem nearly as testy as Laura about him being bonded to other women, 'Then again, Cindy is a significant factor here…' He thought to himself before saying, "Yes, you were my first host."
