"You think new threads are gonna help save your ass?!" Rhino rushed at him horn first as the Lightforce's influence accelerated. As his Spider-Sense went off, Blasphemy stepped aside and blocked Rhino's feet with a wave of biomass, causing him to crash into the wall behind him.
He could feel his strength leaving him at an even faster pace, but he could also feel the change growing faster and faster. Rhino got up with gritted teeth before rushing at him, but he smirked as he felt how close the change was to completion 'Just a little more. Just a little more!'
When his entire black and purple biomass was changed into a slick white, red and some black, his bloodthirsty grin returned along with his entire strength and then some. (A/N: Basically the Spider-Man 2099 white suit but Symbiote version. Because damn, I love that suit. Image:)
"What can I say, Rhino?" He suddenly grabbed Rhino by the head, stopping him dead in his tracks and startling him completely "As they say, clothes make the man. And I fucking LIKE my new threads!"

"And you know what, pal? I think I've had enough fun for today." Large tendrils grabbed the giant man by the neck, wrists, stomach and ankles before raising him into the air "We're running short on time, after all."
With his strength back and even stronger, along with no longer being weakened by the loud alarms, restraining the titan of a man like a small child was easy.

Superhuman Speed: 4,000 mph (6,437 km/h) (3,000 + 1,000)]
Rhino's eyes widened behind his mask as Blasphemy's raised arm turned into a giant, curved blade "Night night." And stabbed him clean through the chest with no hesitation. He had counted on the armor he was trapped in to save his life, but it couldn't do anything against Blasphemy's biomass that devoured anything it touched.
Rhino was incredibly resilient. Even when he was stabbed clean through the chest by a giant blade, he didn't instantly die. He struggled to free himself from his restraints to the very end. But his strength was quick in leaving him. And not long after, he fell limp in the Symbiote's tendrils before getting fully devoured.

(A/N: Fun fact, Rhino really is one fuck of a unit. Once, he fought Hulk for several days straight on the outer hull of a spaceship in orbit around the Sun! Man is a goddamn human tank! But you know what that stamina will actually be used for though, hehehehe ಠ◡ಠ)
'Alright, dinner's finished.' He stretched before rubbing his full stomach, his tongue rolling out to lick up the flavor still on his fangs "And it was delicious! I gotta get out of here now though."
'Hmm, do I just go back to my own universe now? Or should I stick around for a bit. It would be pretty suspicious if I showed up and then this monstrosity suddenly killed the entire population of Raft.
Uugghh, but I'm tired now and I don't want to deal with fooling Peter that this had absolutely nothing to do with me. Ugh, fuck it. I already told him that I'll most likely just go back. I'll deal with making excuses when I come back to this universe. After all, there are still some prey worth eating here.'
With an evil smirk, he channeled the unique power inside of him. Letting a red light envelope him before he, with a bright flash of red, flashed out of this universe.
He found himself in his own room, still sleeping on the ground. He sat up and looked outside. It was still night. Time really did flow the same in both universes. One look at the clock confirmed that it was still night.
Hearing a soft breathing, he looked to his side to see Gwen sleeping blissfully. She looked so comfortable while under his sheets, his lingering scent in the bed calming her mind and soothing her nerves.
He smiled fondly. She was such a heartwarming sight. He honestly couldn't help but gently peck her soft lips. Seeing her smile a little in her sleep made him chuckle softly. 'Tomorrow. Just wait until tomorrow, and you'll be all mine, beautiful. Well, technically today. Oh, whatever. Let's just sleep.'
He immediately laid back down and pulled the blanket all the way up to his shoulders. His head nearly hit the pillow before he was gone to la-la land.

"Hahahaha, I'm telling you, it was amazing!" Gwen laughed as she and May chatted excitedly while preparing breakfast. May looked at her in shock "So he really swings around the city like that? And he took you to such high places at that?!"
Gwen nodded excitedly "Yeah, it was so cool! I was afraid I would fall at first, but when I saw what a firm hold he had on me, I just focused on enjoying the ride! And boy, was it amazing! You really need to have him take you out for a swing too!"
"Hahahaha, I don't know if my heart can handle that much excitement, Gwen."
"Oh, please. You're saying that now, but you're going to love it once you try!"
"Well... alright, I'll think about it. But first, how about you spill the other exciting news?"
"H-huh?" Gwen blushed when she saw her smirk. She looked away while trying to hide her smile "I-I don't know what you're talking about, Aunt May."
"Ooh, of course you don't." May rolled her eyes in amusement "Then who was it that kissed Peter's lips till they were puffy and smeared all over with lipstick?"
"A-Aunt May!" Her face lit up as she covered her face in embarrassment. Aunt May laughed "Yeah, so how about you spill the beans already? Maybe I could even be of help~."
Gwen's blush remained as she sighed "Okay, okay, I'll explain. So, last night, while he was out and swinging around the city, we were talking on the phone.
And while we were chatting, he asked me if I was free tomorrow. I got excited and said yes, I am, after the school and the lab, and he asked me out on a date so we could go out shopping and watch a movie."
"And you agreed." Aunt May smiled at her bright, happy smile "Happily so, it seems."
"Y-yeah. Then he later on came over to our place to ask me to sleep over since he was scared to come home alone."
"Hah, smart move." Aunt May scoffed "I would have whooped his ass otherwise."
Gwen chuckled awkwardly before smiling shyly "A-and then things got heated and, you know, we kissed."
"Hmm, about damn time, I would say." She smiled, setting down a dish full of pancakes "It was always so obvious that you liked Peter. You had full on love eyes for Pete's sake! No pun intended.
I was honestly confused that Peter couldn't see it! I couldn't believe that a boy so smart could be so dense. At some point, I almost began to think he did know, but acted oblivious because he wasn't interested and didn't want to ruin your friendship."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. That's why I could never muster up the courage to tell him my feelings."
"Well, it's thankfully all solved now! You finally became a couple and can enjoy your date today!"
"Hahahaha, yeah!" Gwen smiled happily. She didn't tell Aunt May that Peter wanted to wait until the end of the date to make it official. She didn't want to overcomplicate things.
"Then, dear, can you go and wake your boyfriend up? It's getting late. I want to send you both off to school with a full stomach!"
"Hahahaha, boyfriend, right." She tucked her hair behind her ear coyly "Alright, then I'll be back with Pete in a second."
"Don't pamper him if he asks to sleep some more!" Gwen heard May's voice as she walked up the stairs "He's been oversleeping a lot since he became Spider-Man!"
"Okay!" Her blush deepened. She still couldn't believe that she was dating Peter now. 'Well, not yet, but we'll finally become a couple after this date!'
"Hehehehe!" She took a moment to giggle and bounce around now that she was alone. Her heart was beating so rapidly as she opened the door and walked into Peter's room "Pete, time to wake up."
Her heart swooned again as she saw his sleeping face. It wasn't anything composed at the moment, with the way he was passed out like a dead dog. But he was her dead dog, and she loved him deeply.
Even though she had spent quite a few minutes just playing with his soft hair and staring at him after she woke up, she couldn't help but do it again. Her slender fingers twirled his hair as she squatted down next to him, a dreamy look on her face "Pete~, wake up~. Aunt May has made us breakfast."
"Mgghh... Let me sleep." He buried his face deeper into the pillow. She couldn't help but chuckle at how cute he was acting "Peter, you can't sleep anymore. We have school, remember?"
"Mgghh, shut up and let's just sleep." A sleepy groan left Peter before he grabbed her hand on his hair and suddenly pulled her in. Gwen squeaked before she found herself trapped in his warm embrace.
"P-Peter, come on. Let go of me. You should wake up." She tried to protest, but with how quiet her voice was, even she found it hard to believe that she actually wanted to stop. It was like a stop sign, but in green instead of red.
"Quiet." He grumbled and when he felt her legs squirm, trapped them with his own legs over them. Gwen's blush deepened as she found herself completely in his hold, but her blush reached new heights when she found something else of his that wanted to hold her.
Even her ears and neck turned bright when she felt something big, long, thick and rock solid press harshly against her thigh. And when she felt it twitch, no, pulsate through their clothes, she almost felt like her heart was going to beat out of her chest.
"P-Peter..." She gulped shyly, eliciting a questioning groan from him "Mgghh... What...?"
"S-something... something hard is... pressing against my l-leg..."
"Hm?" That got his attention. When his brain could process what she just said, a smug, sleepy grin spread on his half sleep face "Oh? You mean THIS hard thing?"
When she felt it give a rather intense pulsate, her heart skipped a beat. Gwen's eyes widened as she froze 'I-it just twitched... H-he just made it twitch!'
As she looked up at his sleepy, hungry smirk, her body grew hotter. She couldn't believe how hot he was while he was sleepy. Gwen didn't even know what to do. Should she push him away? Should she just stay still? Should she... invite him in?
She grew hotter with each question, but Peter's chuckle got her attention. He got close to her ear and whispered gently "Have some patience. It's all~ yours when the right time comes."
The gentle kiss that he planted on her cheek made her melt in his arms. She nodded at him as he pulled back and rolled onto his back. Peter stretched and groaned comfortably "Haaah, I could get used to getting taken up like this."
"Perv." Gwen lightly hit his side, making him laugh.
