Marvel: I'm a Symbiote-Chapter 65 Kidnapped
[I see. So that means that the powers I've detected in your genome are derived from the Web of Life and Destiny?] Alex played his part.
[Yep. If you could get me Bio-Electricity then it should be possible to awaken the other abilities that the others have. All spider people derive their powers from the Web, so theoretically it should be possible.] Gwen told him.
[I see… Can you travel to other universes whenever you want?] He asked. He wanted to know the status of Gwen's multiversal portal device that she must've gotten during the Original Secret Wars event. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢
That event had nothing to do with the incursions and destruction of the Marvel multiverse. It was something that occurred on a much smaller scale and was initiated by The Beyonder alone. The Secret Wars event that initiated the incarnation of the eighth cosmos was a wholly different thing.
[Well…] Gwen was a little embarrassed, [I used to have a portal device that allowed me to travel to other realities, but I lost it.] She said.
[What do you mean you lost it?] Alex asked incredulously. This time, his stupefied tone was as real as it could get. He would be extremely disappointed if she lost the device like some dumb klutz.
[I didn't exactly lose it… It was snatched from me… By the woman that depowered me.] She explained to Alex.
[Oh… Weakling.] Alex was merciless, though he was glad that she didn't drop it in some sewer and lost it.
[Hey. That's hurtful…] She told him.
[What exactly happened?] Alex wanted a detailed situation from her about what happened with her power loss situation.
[Well… I was out with my friends, my multiversal friends, Jessica, and Cindy. They are both Spider-Totems from 616— One of the other Realities. We were hanging out here when we were ambushed by SILK, it's an organization. On the surface, it's an anti-Spider-Woman organization that wants to combat me but it's much more than that.] Gwen didn't delve into the depths of SILK.
[Then?] Alex asked.
[During that ambush, we found out that the leader of SILK was the Cindy Moon of this reality. She wanted my portal device to go to 616 to do whatever… It was a long fight and chase that ended with my friends returning to their reality with the help of Reed Richards— He's an unbelievably genius kid. And can you imagine, he's just 13 years old at this point in time. Anyway, after that… I was then beaten up by Cindy-65, who'd disabled my powers. She then took my portal device and left. I don't know what she did after that.] Gwen left out quite a number of details like how Jesse Drew played a big role in the loss of the three spider totems against Cindy-65. Though those details weren't exactly very important in the current situation.
[So that's what happened…] He said and inwardly thought, 'Although this Earth is based on the Ghost-Spider from the comics, there are variances from the actual story, which means that this isn't the exact same world as Earth-65… Whatever, I guess there are a few divergences…' Alex didn't care much. He had more than enough of an idea about what kind of plots there are in a Spider-Man verse. Although he didn't know the complete and exact plot, what he knew was more than enough.
[Yep.] Gwen told him as she opened the door to her house.
"Dad, I'm home…" She called out but didn't hear any response.
"Dad…" She called out again as she went into her dad's room.
There were no signs of a struggle or anything anywhere in the house so Gwen was hopeful that her dad was just out for groceries. It was already night so he should be home right now.
That was when she saw a note on her father's desk.
'No…' She had a feeling of dread arising from within as she picked up the note.
"Fuck you!" As she was reading the note, she punched the wall in her house in her anger which would've easily made a huge hole. Alex helped out by covering the wall and preventing her from damaging it. She had a tendency to lash out whenever she was put through a shocking experience. Alex knew this very well.
[We should go there quickly, Gwen. He wants you. He doesn't care about Captain Stacy.] Alex told her with a calm tone and also helped Gwen calm down. The note was written by Frank Castle— The Punisher, who'd apparently found out Gwen's secret identity and threatened her to arrive at a specified location. Otherwise, he would kill her dad.
"God damn it…" Gwen cursed as she jumped out the window of her house. Alex automatically dressed her in her Ghost-Spider suit and camouflaged her.
'I doubt that The Punisher would kill her father…' Alex knew that the Frank Castle of this Earth was a good guy and was just working for Matt Murdock on a contract.
'All for a fucking personality test…' Alex didn't exactly like the Matt Murrdok of this reality. The guy was basically doing a 'power corrupts' social experiment and treating Gwen as a lab rat.
Gwen swung as fast as she could to reach the location that was specified by Frank in the note.
[Pay attention to your surroundings. This might be a trap.] Alex warned her.
[Yep…] She nodded. Just because she was in a hurry, doesn't mean that she was going to get reckless.
Soon, Gwen reached an abandoned warehouse in what seemed like the middle of nowhere.
She didn't waste any time before kicking open the door to the warehouse and entering.
"Punisher! Get out here!" She shouted, wanting to draw him out.
[Alex. Can you sense him?] She asked Alex. She knew that he had a much better sensory ability than her Spider-Sense.
He extended his Mana Sense, [It's not just The Punisher that I'm sensing I sense a total of 8 people in this warehouse. You, your father, The Punisher, Harry, and 4 unfamiliar presences.] He told her with a sense of amusement. As Alex had expected, her father was perfectly fine and was just kept in a room that was isolated.
Alex was interested in the development of the current situation.
Just as he told her about the situation within the building, Gwen tensed up and got ready for the fight of her life, knowing that she might have to combat 6 people simultaneously.
The next moment, a dense mist started filling the area around Gwen, and within a second it surrounded everything around her.
Gwen didn't waste any time and turned around to leave the building. She knew that if the mist had any harmful effects then she had to escape it. But as she turned around to leave the building, she collided facefirst with a wall.
"Ouch!" Her skull wasn't thick enough to break through a wall.
[Hahaha] Alex started laughing in her head which she promptly ignored in lieu of her current situation.
'This mist is messing with my perception…' She instantly realized. She tried to focus all her senses on trying to understand her surroundings.
At the next moment, a steel beam fell from the roof right onto Gwen's head.
Just as she was about to dodge, [Stay here, Gwen] Gwen heard Alex's voice in her head.
Though hesitant, she came to trust him enough to know that he wouldn't let her get hurt. She stayed on her spot and let the beam fall on her head.
'It didn't activate my Spider-Sense…' She realized just as the beam was about to hit her head.
She heard a noise to her side. The real beam had fallen on the exact location that she would've dodged at.
'This enemy has studied my movements…' She realized.
Just as she was musing, 5 more beams fell from the roof.
[Dodge.] These ones were all real.
Gwen listened to Alex's instructions and slipped in between the beams, dodging them. At that moment, her Spider-Sense started flaring.
She shot a web at seemingly empty air and grabbed a flying drone and used it to maneuver away from her spot. Three other drones had shot sharp knife-like projectiles at her location.
[Follow my guidance, Gwen.] This would be a good practice session for Gwen's Spider-Sense, but she had more important things to focus on right now. Alex decided to help her take care of the enemy who was most probably Mysterio, the illusion master that was messing around with Gwen's senses.
'I can always simulate a similar situation when training with her…' Alex had just gotten an amazing idea to train Gwen's Spider-Sense. It would also help him better his own 6th Sense ability. For now, Alex paid attention to helping Gwen get her father away from this place.
[You can deal with the enemies later. Let's get your dad away from here first. Then we'll deal with them. Okay?] He told her.
[Thanks. Alex.] She appreciated his concern for her dad.
[Follow your Spider-Sense along with my directions. Close your eyes. A lot of what you're seeing is an illusion used to confuse you. The mixture of visual and sonic disturbances causes your perception to get messed up.] He told her.
[Can you cover my ears too then?] She asked.
[Done.] He covered her ears. For once, it wasn't a kinky sensory deprivation play that made Alex suppress Gwen's hearing and sight.
Now, Gwen was using just her Spider-Sense and Alex's directions to navigate this place. She was dodging the attacks that Mysterio had thrown her way using her Spider-Sense and Alex's directions.
[You're now Camouflaged.] At the right moment, when she wasn't in Mysterio's view, Alex camouflaged Gwen so that she wouldn't be visible to Mysterio. It wouldn't work forever but should be enough to stall for some time which was all Gwen needed to rescue her father.
Hearing Alex's words, Gwen ran like hell according to Alex's directions and reached the room where her father was being held.
[I'll get him away from here. You can focus on the fighting.] Alex told her as he split a part of his body from Gwen and slithered through the walls and into the room where George Stacy was held.
[Thanks Alex…] Gwen thanked him again.
[Stop thanking me all the time and focus on your fight.] Alex told her. He'd already reached the knocked-out Captain Stacy and taken control of his body. Alex was going to get him away under Camouflage when he gets the chance.
"You really are useless, aren't you, Quentin?" There was another voice that mocked Mysterio. That was when Gwen's Spider-Sense started flaring crazily.
