Marvel: I'm a Symbiote-Chapter 54 Courting

[Don't these bunkers have some people?] Laura looked at the gate and was confused that they hadn't found any living beings yet.

They had, but Alex ignored them when he saw the condition that those 'humans' were in. It was exclusively cannibals that were left within the bunkers. Everyone else had disappeared. Along with any possible resources that would've been left in the bunkers.

[I'm assuming that the Bastion has already swept a few thousand miles around their city to look for any and all bunkers with signs of life. This is why there are no leftovers in any of the bunkers that we passed. There are no signs of anyone leaving in a hurry either, which must be why there are no leftover resources.] Alex told her his assumption.

[That makes sense.] Laura agreed with Alex since his words made sense.

Alex didn't mention the cannibals since he didn't want her to worry or feel bad for them unnecessarily. Their mental states were very volatile, which may have also been why the Bastion didn't integrate them within the outer city slums. They could've fixed the mental states, but it was probably an unnecessary use of resources for disposable people.

She walked up to the sliding doors of the entrance to the bunker. It was like a half tunnel extending from the ground that led into the bunker. They just had to open the gate.

[Do I cut through it?] She didn't think that the bunker had any power.

[How barbaric. Allow me.] Alex said with a mock condescending tone.

[Right…] Laura rolled her eyes and put her hand on the external terminal of the gate. It was a sort of digital keypad that was powered down.

Alex entered the cyberspace of that terminal and forcefully used his lightning manipulation to power the sliding mechanism of the doors to open them.

[Let's go.] Alex told her, he was still connected to the cyberspace of the bunker. This was the first bunker that he'd found with advanced technology which didn't seem to be made by some overprepared homeowner. This was more of an official bunker that was most likely sanctioned by the government or by a large corporation.

Just as Laura entered through the gates, they closed back up, engulfing Laura in complete darkness.

[Okay, I need at least some light to see. I don't have true Night Vision…] Laura had really good eyesight to the point where she could see in the darkest of environments, but she couldn't see in absolute darkness. There has to be at least a weak source of light for her to see.

Those gates served as an airlock and not a single ray of light could enter.

[My bad. But there's no power in the generator to turn on any lights. The gate only opened since it has a backup internal power generator that I could charge. I'll guide you to look for the power core of the bunker so that we can charge it up.] He told her.

[All right.] She shrugged and started walking down the stairs that she'd seen.

When she reached the bottom, Alex guided her to the power core. He had to use Mana Sense to navigate around due to the complete absence of light in the underground bunker. Almost all types of night vision would fail in such a scenario. For this one needed true night vision where their eyes could produce their own light. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

[I just realized that I could've just produced light using my lightning manipulation…] Alex said in Laura's head as they both reached the generator room.

[Well aren't you a smartie, Mr. Symbiote…] Laura was amused.

[You do know that I have a lot of leverage over you, right?] Alex wasn't amused.

[Oh yeah? Whatcha' gonna do? Spank my ass?] She teased and even wiggled her butt in the darkness.

[I was planning something more intrusive, but yes we could start with a light spanking.] Alex agreed and didn't waste the opportunity to spank Laura's ass. Making her butt jiggle with his hard spank.

"Hey! I was kidding…" She jumped and looked behind after feeling the slap on her ass.

[You're the one who invited me so tantalizingly.] Alex said as if it was a matter of fact, [Now give me a moment, I'll bring back the power.] Alex used his Lightning Manipulation to charge up the generator so that it could run for a while.

He was already in the system, so the lights automatically started turning on at his behest just as the power was restored.

[Now this is a nuclear bunker.] Laura commented as she looked around at the pristine condition of the bunker.

[That it is.] Alex agreed.

[This place has a nice lounge. Let's go there.] Alex started guiding Laura to the lounge. Neither of them mentioned the slight sexual banter they had just now.

…

Laura was in the empty lounge of the bunker, lazily lying on a couch while talking to Alex in her head.

[Back to my healing factor. How do I get it back?] She asked while lying on her back and looking up at the ceiling while playing with a ball that Alex had formed for her.

[Gentle hyperstimulation. That's the best way to get back your ability without any problems.] He told her.

[Normal words, please…] Laura wanted a straightforward explanation.

[I have to fuck you.] Alex was blunt.

"W-What?" She stammered a little.

[I have only two ways to awaken your healing factor. One is to shock you with electricity at small intervals to stimulate your nerves and awaken your healing factor. But that would cause it to be unstable and go dormant every once in a while. On the other hand, I have a unique energy that could bring you much better results. It's just that the infusion process is… intimate. Think of it as a really stimulating massage… of your insides.] He explained to her patiently.

[But…] She was hesitant.

[What? You don't remember how you were screaming 'Fuck me, please!' at the top of your lungs when I was regenerating your body?] Alex teased her.

[Hey, that was circumstantial. I don't want my first fuck to be an alien…] Laura mumbled mentally.

[That's offensive. And really? First fuck?] Alex was honestly surprised. Given Laura's personality, he'd expected that she wouldn't treat this kind of thing as a big deal.

[I didn't exactly get to live a lot of life. I was created as a clone of my father and trained as no more than a weapon for the greater part of my life. Then I was freed and spent a few years getting therapy along with some mental manipulation by Jean to get rid of a very problematic mental liability. Guess what happened after that. I got captured again.] Laura hissed.

[Okay, okay, geez… Would you like to fuck me if I had a human face then?] Alex offered. Laura's life experiences were extremely traumatic.

[What? How?] She asked.

[I'm a slime species. I can turn into anything I desire. I've been on Earth for a while and observed quite a few people. I can create a unique face for myself on the basis of my persona that would be uniquely identifiable. I already have a human name, a human face wouldn't be a big deal.] He told her a technical truth.

[…Show me.] She wanted to see him.

He didn't say anything and black tendrils started escaping from Laura's body and started coalescing into a humanoid figure.

Within a second, Alex was standing in front of the couch that she was lying on.

"Hi." He smiled as he looked down at her.

"You're hot…" She felt like she was getting lost in his green eyes.

"We have the same eyes," Alex mentioned. Both he and Laura had green eyes.

"Yeah…" Laura admired him for a few seconds before beckoning him close, "Come here…" She extended her hand to him. It seemed that she didn't want to change her position.

Alex kneeled beside the sofa and got at the same eye level as her. Laura put her hand over the side of his face, "You look so… real."

"That's because I am real." Alex smiled.

"Well, that's good. Because you have to seduce me." Laura nodded with a smile on her face.

"What?" Alex smiled amusedly.

"You heard me. I'm not just going to let you have sex with me just like that. You have to court me. Take me out on a date, feed me some nice food, watch a movie with me… I'm not some easy chick that you can get into the pants of just cause you saved her from a hell prison." She told him aggressively.

Alex could feel Laura's excitement increasing as she listed out what she wanted. She hadn't had a normal childhood due to growing up in a lab as a mere test subject. And even in the Xavier School, she didn't make any friends early on due to her isolationist habits. She just spent all her time training. And when she was finally allowed to go outside, she was captured and used as a glorified blood bank for an entire city.

"I guess I have my work cut out for me, huh?" He smiled. He didn't mind her demands. Hell, Laura's so-called demands made him want to be more considerate of his other hosts too.

"That you do." Laura was anticipating how Alex was going to fulfill her demands. She understood that the stuff that she asked was unreasonable and nigh-impossible in the current situation of the world. That's why, even if Alex couldn't do that stuff, she would be happy just to see him try. It would prove to her that he cares and that would be enough for her.

"Let's start with a movie, shall we?" Alex decided to not delay by letting either Laura or himself be bored in this empty shelter.

"How?" She asked.

"I'll show you." He said with an excited tone.

He held Laura's head up from the couch and took a seat himself, putting her head on his lap. At the same time, the couch was pushed back by a few tendrils to make some space with the wall in front of them.

Laura was curious about Alex's plan and was feeling comfortable in his lap. She almost purred as Alex ran his fingers through her hair.

She looked ahead with curious eyes as a large pitch-black screen formed in front of them while the lights dimmed almost completely.

"You going for the full theatre experience?" Laura asked.

"Only the best for my girl…" One of his hands was caressing her hair and the other was resting on the side of her hip.

"Not your girl, yet." Laura shot back.

"Keep telling yourself that." Alex chuckled.

"You got any specific requests?" He asked her.

"Anything but typical mushy romance shit…" Laura didn't have any specific preference for now.

"Pulp Fiction it is then…" Alex loved that movie and he was glad to have found that on Research Earth. He wanted to rewatch the movie again.

"Pulp Fiction? Really?" She asked. She'd thought that he would find a movie with at least some romance so that it would set a nice mood.

"You know about it?" He was surprised.

"I wasn't living in a hole…" She was just about to say that but trailed off since she realized that she'd exactly been living in a hole, "I just know, okay…" She snapped.

"Chill, girl…You're the one who didn't specify the kind of non-romance movie you wanted…" Alex played with her hair as he enjoyed bantering with her.

"Fine. I guess we'll just watch the movie." She emphasized the just.

"Haha... You're so cute." Alex loved Laura's little nuances and nuzzled his face against her hair.

Since he'd decided to seduce her, he was going to go the whole nine yards. He wasn't planning on rushing anything with her.

His actions may be the result of how he was connected with her on a much deeper level and her horrible situation made him want to pamper and care for her a lot.

"Hey…" She tried to struggle, but the movie soon started and they both got engrossed in it.
