Chapter 493 - 4

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

Natasha's body was filled with hidden internal injuries that weren't possible to heal without superhuman healing so Alex also laid the groundwork to start healing those injuries.

[❤Mhm~❤] There was a flinch in her thoughts. Her mouth was suppressed so there was no noise in the bathroom.

It was the sudden secretion of dopamine which was making her really horny. The tight-fitting suit that was making her body all sensitive wasn't helping her situation.

But she still didn't make a peep. She was someone with far more willpower than most people.

[Should we seal the deal, Natasha?] Alex asked her as he formed his full body in front of the suspended Natasha and took out his cock.

He exposed her crotch to the air and rubbed his cock over her snatch.

[Whhat~?] Her thoughts were a little slurred. She was only able to hold back by gritting her teeth and not thinking anything.

[We will be sealing the deal with sex.] He told her nonchalantly as he rubbed his cock over her extremely sensitive pussy lips.

[W-Why~?]

[It's important.] He told her with a serious tone.

[But… ❤Anh~❤]

[You don't want to be fucked by an alien?] He teased her while still rubbing his cock over her pussy, increasing her arousal more and more.

At this point, Natasha just wanted to be filled. She was feeling so, so empty. She wanted a cock to ram into her depths. She was only holding herself back through sheer determination.

[I'll take my human form while we do this, okay? You can think of me as your very intimate partner who also strengthens you.] He told her.

He knew that he could easily fuck her without her agreement and be done with it, but that would result in losing her trust. She would never be able to fully trust him. And he didn't want that.

She still held on and was hesitant.

Alex made the mask that was suppressing all of her senses release her eyes and nose. She was already having a very difficult time with the loss of breath.

And then she was able to see him. Alex was standing in front of her, fully naked with his Norse god-like body fully on display.

Natasha was floating in front of him with her limbs spread apart and completely under his control.

Alex held her waist as he rubbed his cock over her pussy while bringing his face close to hers.

He hadn't removed the suppression on her mouth and ears as he didn't want her to make any noise and the ear suppressors were just there because he wanted them to be.

[Will you trust me?] He looked into her eyes with a look that would've made any girl swoon over him and caressed the side of her face.

For the first time in a long time, Natasha revealed a rare vulnerable look and nodded. She closed her eyes, not wanting to think of anything else.

[That's my girl.] He ran his fingers through her lovely fiery hair and pushed his cock inside her.

[❤Ahn~❤] She moaned as she felt his cock enter her as his other hand grabbed her butt.

Alex kept going and completely buried his cock deep inside her snatch.

[❤Ahh~ ❤Alex…❤] She called out to him as she felt his cock completely fill her. It was so large that she felt that it would tear her in half.

Natasha felt like her mind was melting from the pleasure that she was feeling here.

Alex was enjoying fucking this woman silly as he played with her tits as the black suit started disappearing from her body, leaving her completely naked.

He put his mouth over one of her breasts and played with the other using his hand. He would nibble, pinch, flick and tease her breasts as he rammed his cock into her.

Natasha was completely under Alex's control while being suspended in the air at the perfect spot to be penetrated by Alex who had his way with her.

[❤Ahh~❤ Awex~❤] Even her thoughts were incoherent as she screamed and felt like she was getting overwhelmed by the pleasure.

[❤Cumming~❤] Within seconds, she started cumming, hard.

Alex kept going as she squirted all over his dick.

He decided to go even further as he decided to try something new with Natasha.

[❤Ahhn~❤] She was feeling overwhelming pleasure as Alex kept going even though she'd already come.

[Huh~?] There was a confused moan as she felt something poking her back door.

[Alex~?] She understood what he was about to do and felt that it might be too much for her.

She already felt like she was bursting with his monster cock inside her. If he decided to fuck her anally too, then she was scared about what would happen to her. But at the same time anticipatory.

[You're amazing Natasha… Honestly, your insides feel heavenly.] He complimented her as he teased her anal cavity with another identical 9-inch phallus.

[❤I don't think~❤ Ahn~❤] She tried to tell him about her apprehension.

[Don't think. Just enjoy the experience…] He didn't let her say anything else as the phallus started invading her ass.

Even while suspended in the air, her back arched as the cock started invading her ass.

[❤Ahnnn~❤] She was feeling too many sensations and her eyes had already rolled back as she could only accept the overwhelming pleasure that Alex was dishing out.

Alex finally pushed it completely in and at this point Natasha was filled completely to the brim in both her holes.

He deepened the connection with her even more as tiny tendrils seemed to extend from his cock and invaded Natasha's uterus. He used the chance to examine the state of her uterus to see how her sterilization works while deepening the bond. It would allow him to heal her with ease later on.

Alex kept going at his pace for quite a while as he teased and explored her body completely, making her body feel so much pleasure that she wouldn't ever be able to live without him.

In front of his invasion of her body, all Natasha could do was twitch and moan incoherently.

By the time Alex was done, she had cum tens of times and Alex had been sustaining her body and mind so that she doesn't break.

[I'm going to fill you up, my partner…] He whispered to her.

Before she could realize the significance of his words, Alex came and started filling up both of her cavities with an ungodly amount of cum.

The force that the cum shot out with, made her orgasm once again.

When Alex pulled out, a large amount of his cum fell on the floor from both of her holes.

When he finally pulled out of her, she gave a sigh of relief inwardly and started drifting off to sleep.

Even with inhuman levels of endurance and willpower, this experience was too much for her to bear and she ended up knocked out.

The tendrils that had been suspending her in the air lowered her as Alex caught her in his arms.

'She's amazing…' He thought as he sat with her in his lap, forming a comfortable chair.

She curled up like a kitten in his embrace while she rested as Alex finally started making changes to her body.

He'd also classified the bonds that he made with the girls into levels.

‹Level 0›:: Initial bond. Allows minimal influence to host biology. Can be established without the knowledge of the host. Current Recipient: Wanda Maximoff

‹Level 1›:: Shallow Bond. Allows for influencing the hormonal levels of the host and basic biological manipulation. Current Recipient: Gwen Stacy (Earth-65 Ghost-Spider)

‹Level 2›:: Physique Bond. Allows for higher influence on the host's biology and allows greater augmentation and induction of permanent enhancements to the host. Current Recipient: Natasha Romanoff, Gwendolyn Stacy

He hadn't explored a higher level yet so there was no need to think of that, for now.

He also added this new section to the system's status interface.

[ «Status- Host #3»

«Name: Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow)»

«Bonding Rate: 8%»

«Bonding Level: 2»

«Powers: Peak Human Physique (300 kg)— Melee Mastery— Espionage Mastery»

]

He also saw that her physique had increased after the enhancements that he'd made to her body during their bonding session.

The bonding rate had reached 8% and it would only be a while before Natasha also started providing him 0.1 EP/Day.

'Now though, it's time to learn from her…' He was going to wake her up.

He was sitting on a comfy couch that he'd formed from a part of his body and had the naked Natasha curled up in his lap.

"Natasha… Wake up." He shook her awake symbolically. It had no meaning as he did it just for fun. He could wake her up without doing anything.

At the same time though, he rejuvenated her mind as he made her feel completely rested. That was what had her flutter her eyes open.

Natasha, for the first time in a really long time, felt like she'd gone into a peaceful and truly deep sleep.

She felt completely rejuvenated and at peace as she opened her eyes.

What greeted her was the smiling face of a man, it was Alex.

"Morning Natasha…" He greeted her.

"Alex…" As if recalling everything, she looked at him with a complicated look.

"Don't think weird things. We're bonded, and for life at that. Now I'll merge back with you." He told her as he placed her on the couch and disappeared into her body.

Seeing the man that had just turned into a mass of black tendrils, Natasha was feeling weird, and at the same time, was curious about what more he had in store for her.

 

At the same time as he was bonding with Natasha, in another location in the safe house.

[Wanda Maximoff…] Wanda heard a voice in her head but just shrugged it off. Her abilities have a habit of messing with her.

[Hey, Wanda!] Alex looked at Wanda who was lying on the bed while ignoring him and felt a twitch of annoyance.

"What the fuck?" The voice was too clear to be some sort of hallucinatory whisper.

[Hey, stop ignoring me…] Alex didn't know whether to feel bad for Wanda or whether to be mad at her.

[Are you in my head?] She instinctively talked to him telepathically.

[Kinda… It's complicated.]

[Well… Uncomplicate it then…] She threatened him as her magic suddenly started flaring up.

[Hey, hey, hey. No need to get violent. I mean you no harm.] He made her lose her concentration by assaulting her sensitive spots.

"❤Ahn~❤" She shivered as she felt something massaging her nipples and clit.

[What are you doing?~] She asked with a slight slur as her she had to pull back all her magic before it started flaring out of control.

[Distracting you so you don't start fighting me. I mean you no harm. I mean it.] He told her earnestly while ignoring the fact that he just molested her.

[What are you?] She asked him with a curious look on her face. She realized that if he wanted to harm her he could've done it long ago.

[My name is Alex. I'm from an alien symbiotic species that survive by bonding with a host. The host provides us sustenance and we enhance our host.]

[Your name sounds awfully human for an alien…] She quipped.

[I liked that name, so I took it up. Our culture doesn't have the concept of names so I had to give myself one.]. He told her a random excuse.

[Why are you inside me?] She asked the important question.

[When you were fighting those guys in the research center. I found you then. You had a very strong presence and I was hurt. I would've died if I didn't bond with you.] He told her the same story that he'd told Natasha.

[How did you get hurt?] She asked him as she tilted her head.

[My previous host…] His voice was laced with venom. No pun intended.

[I don't want to talk about it. Can we talk about something else?] He changed the topic as if he was too hurt to talk about it.

[If you say so… Wait. Did my power get stronger because of bonding with you?]

[That explosion? Yeah, I knew that you wouldn't be able to hold it long enough and had to do something to help you. I hadn't bonded with you for long enough so it ended up overtaxing your body.] He had an apologetic tone.

[…It's fine. You helped me.] She was grateful for his help.

[I can do a lot more than that. I know the true origin of your powers. I can help you learn more about them and understand how they work.]

[Isn't it just telekinesis and mind manipulation?] She asked confusedly.

[That's what you've been told. You've always been scared of your powers, haven't you? You've never bothered exploring them deeply.]

[But…]

[My dear Wanda, what you have is Chaos Magic… An obscure branch of magic that has its powers in reality and causal manipulation. Your power isn't moving things with your mind. You can bend reality to your will.]

[Are you sure?] She didn't believe that she was that strong.

[You'll understand it all in due time. For now, we must form a bond…] He told her.

[Aren't you already bonded with me?]

[Not exactly. What we have is just the initial bond that allows me to talk to you telepathically and only augment you minimally. We need to deepen the bond to allow me to provide you with better benefits.]

[What kind of benefits?] She was now curious.

[Well, for one thing, my presence can enhance your physique by a lot, to the point of not having any limits as long as you keep exercising. If you think that it's not important then look at what happened today. You channeled too much magic and that overtaxed your physique. A strong conduit is important for better powers. Other than that your powers. The Chaos Magic, it's very obscure but I can help you understand it and augment it in fights.] He explained the other benefits of bonding with him like the pseudo-immortality, enhanced healing factor, etc.

[And how does this bonding thing work?] She asked him.

[It's based on the intimacy of our connection. The higher the level of the bond, the more benefits I can provide you and the greater your enhancements.]

[…I agree. I want to gain better control over my powers.] As skeptical as she was about him, he'd shown that he could affect her use of her powers. She was desperate enough to trust a complete stranger if he could help her.

[Perfect…] As Alex said that, her clothes disappeared.

[Alex!] She was startled when she found herself suddenly naked.

[This is an important process, Wanda..] He told her as black tendrils started wrapping around her body, slowly affecting her sensitivity.

He wrapped around her just until he reached her neck and pricked the back of her neck.

"Ahh…" She felt that.

That was the last sound she made as another tendril wrapped around her mouth, silencing her completely.

[Let's not alert the others.]

With that, he formed a level 1 bond with her and enhanced her hormone production and metabolism.

Wanda felt black tendrils wrapping around her breasts which seemed to be very sensitive and was startled.

[Alex? What are…] Before she could finish her thought, the dopamine rush started and she found herself writhing on the bed with a glaring need for release.

[Leave everything to me, Wanda…] He stopped her hands from reaching her sensitive spots and shackled them to the top of the bed.

[Hey!] She struggled, but only symbolically. There was no real struggle in her actions. She was enjoying this as much as Alex.

Alex paid her no heed as he assaulted her poor breasts while neglecting her gushing wet pussy.

He squeezed, kneaded, and played with her breasts as two smaller tendrils formed that played with and teased her nipples.

He'd realized that her breasts were very sensitive and was going to make her cum by only stimulating them.

[❤Alex, please~❤] She realized her predicament as she was unable to move her hands and she was feeling so needy. All Alex was doing was teasing her breasts.

She was needy to the point where tears started falling from her eyes.

But all that did was turn on Alex even more as he continued his assault on her breasts mercilessly.

[❤Aahhh~❤] A minute later, Wanda was cumming, hard.

[Isn't my Wanda so slutty, cumming with just her breasts…] He teased her as he released her from her bonds and retracted back into her body, leaving her naked and a writhing mess on her bed.

[You… Shut it… And what the hell was that?] She was embarrassed when she realized that she'd indeed cum with just the stimulation in her breasts.

[I augment the bonding sessions with pleasure. It's a very good catalyst for us to get closer to each other.] He told her.

[But, it's weird…] She wasn't comfortable with a random alien dude having access to her body at all times.

[If it's really weird for you, I have a human form. One that I developed after seeing all kinds of people in the world. I think that it matches what I would be if I was a human. Would you like to see it?]

[Really? Show me…] She was curious.

The next moment, black tendrils extended from her body and formed the figure of Alex standing over her at the side of the bed.

Wanda looked at him and got embarrassed at her current state as she hurriedly tried to fix herself. She'd been lying splayed on the bed with her legs open, revealing herself completely.

[Where are my clothes, Alex?] Seeing the person in front of her made her very conscious about her state.

"I don't think there's a need for clothes in front of me, Wanda…" He had a teasing smile on his face.

"Y-Yeah, but still…" She felt weird being naked like this in front of Alex.

"All right, don't worry." He smiled and a grey hoodie formed over her body.

"You can turn into clothes?" She was fascinated.

"Yeah." He got close to her and held the side of her head.

She looked at him with a curious expression as she was curious about what he was going to do.

"Will you be my partner, Wanda Maximoff? Will you… be mine?" He looked into her eyes with a gentle look.

"Yes!" She agreed all too quickly. His looks were enough to make any girl swoon over him.

Wanda was a very lonely and needy girl after her brother's death. Why else would she end up falling in love with a glorified sentient robot?

"Perfect…" He sealed her agreement with a light kiss on her lips that delved into a full-on makeout session for the next few minutes.

"I'll merge back into you and we can start exploring your abilities and how I can augment everything." After he pulled away from the kiss, he disappeared into a mass of black that merged back with her body.

 

After bonding with both Natasha and Wanda, Alex told Natasha that he was going to learn melee combat from her. He could've learned everything from reading her memories, but he'd realized that it wouldn't be as good as learning from her.

Reading memories is not the most efficient way to get skills. Its best use is to obtain information from someone. Skills and life experiences aren't passed on very well when reading memories. It can be thought of as a 3rd Person experience. It's detached from the real deal.

Even Alex's ‹Devour› ability isn't perfect when it comes to this stuff. When he'd devoured Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man earth, Alex wasn't able to completely get his intelligence.

So he'd rather learn it all himself. It was also a way for him to remember that things aren't as easy as devouring someone and being done with it.

He would have to train his abilities himself, devouring people should only be done as augmentation and not as the primary way to enhance himself.

She didn't mind since she would have to re-train her body from scratch after Alex's enhancements. Suddenly getting three times stronger and faster wasn't going to be easy to get used to, especially since her melee combat relies heavily on precision movements.

He did the same with Wanda. She'd had some very basic melee training as part of the initiation of the Avengers, but she'd never focused on it. Now though, Alex was going to train her to get good.

He also checked Wanda's Status and wasn't surprised with what he saw.

[ «Status- Host #4»

«Name: Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch)»

«Bonding Rate: 1%»

«Bonding Level: 1»

«Powers: Human Physique—Chaos Magic»

]

The 1 percent bonding rate hadn't surprised him since they didn't actually do much.

He'd termed the levels of Physique in pretty broad strokes.

It went from ‹Low Human› which was basically an untrained human all the way to ‹Peak Cosmic› which was where he'd put Thanos after he'd gotten all six infinity stones.

‹Low Human› ‹Human› ‹Peak Human› ‹Low Superhuman› ‹Superhuman› ‹Peak Superhuman› ‹Low Cosmic› ‹Cosmic› ‹Peak Cosmic›

Wanda was at ‹Human› level, which was a person who'd received some training. The peak was when they were at the limits of the human physique.

With those discussions done, Alex spent the rest of the time enhancing both Wanda's and Natasha's bodies as they stayed in the safe house.

As night arrived, the team of four that came to Lagos left in their Quinjet.

Both Wanda and Natasha were feeling completely rejuvenated as Alex worked his wonders on their bodies.

[So why do I not need any clothes anymore?] Natasha asked as she boarded the Quinjet while wearing her usual combat uniform that had been formed by Alex.

[I feel offended that you would want to wear these things of inferior quality than to have me wrapped around your sexy body.] He was offended.

[See, that sounds weird on so many levels.] She informed him.

[I said it that way on purpose. I serve as something more than just clothes, this is armor that can easily tank high-caliber bullets without letting you feel a thing. Maybe armor-piercing bullets would be painful, but you'd still survive…]

[I know, you're amazing and everything but… I don't know. It's weird. You're a guy. A guy that I was fucking just a while ago. Now, this… It's weird.]

[I think it's better. I have full access to your body and can do anything I want at any time. Like this…] With Alex's words, Natasha felt a phallus invade her pussy.

[Alex...] She said with gritted teeth as she maintained her stoic expression.

[See, it's so much fun to see your cute reactions…] He chuckled.

[Get rid of it…] He'd been teasing her like this for quite a while and she was pretty annoyed.

[What do you say?] He asked her with a teasing edge conveyed by his words.

[Please… There are the others here.] She asked him nicely.

[That's my lovely girl. It wasn't that hard, was it?] He asked as he retracted the phallus.

[Are you training me to be more polite with you?] Alex could imagine Natasha looking at him with narrowed eyes as she asked that. Her expression was normal and stoic as she took a seat in the Quinjet as it took off. It didn't betray a single sliver of her mental talks with Alex.

[I don't know what you're talking about. I just don't want you to order me around like some lackey.]

[Right…] She didn't believe him but didn't pursue it.

At the same time, Alex was having a similar conversation with Wanda who was more curious and didn't mind Alex managing her clothes so it went more easily.

After going back, they laid low for the next few days at The Avengers Compound. The team was going to rest and Alex was going to use that time to get used to the powers that Wanda had while learning some stuff from Natasha.

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

*Boom*

Gwen had been helping out a random civilian lady with a stolen purse when there was an explosion. She'd realized the presence of the danger mere moments before and was able to successfully jump away from the blast radius along with the old lady that she was helping.

"Spider-Woman! You seem to have gotten your powers back." Walking out from the smoke, was The Punisher.

"Punisher…" Gwen growled at the blatant attack in the middle of the street.

He didn't say a word to her and attacked her with full force.

He pulled out his sword from the scabbard as he charged her, intending to slice her with the momentum used from the draw.

Gwen ducked the slicing attack only to be met with a kick from the Punisher who'd aimed the kick at her abdomen. Her enhanced reflexes allowed her to react to the kick in time and she pushed his foot away with both her hands. Creating some momentum to make some distance between them. She jumped back and stuck herself to the wall of the building behind her with her Wall Crawling.

She noticed that the people were already running away from the vicinity of the fight.

The Punisher was walking to her with his second sword drawn as he looked at her menacingly.

"I'm taking you down today, menace." He taunted her as he pointed his sword at her.

"Fuck you!" That got her slightly riled up and she used the wall behind her as a springboard to jump at him and punch him.

The Punisher, who was already expecting her attack, knew that he couldn't match her in pure strength and instantly moved to the side to dodge her attack.

As Gwen landed on the ground he attacked her with both his swords. Gwen had to push her enhanced reflexes to the limit to dodge all of his sword attacks.

The Punisher was far weaker than her in both physique and agility, but he was able to match her using only his experience and combat training.

Another reason for this was a typical Spider-Person problem. Gwen was pulling her punches. She wasn't going all out with her attacks. Nor was she using her full speed.

Her actions were making Alex mad. It was like all the enhancements he'd provided her were meaningless but he held back on reprimanding her. He would deal with her after the fight was over.

Seeing Gwen easily dodge his swords, The Punisher dropped them and pulled out his preferred daggers, moving to close-range combat which would allow him to predict her attacks and guide her to certain situations more easily.

He knew he had weaker reflexes than her, but his training and experience made it easy to know how she would react, even if she tried to be unpredictable.

He moved close to Gwen and swiped at her with his daggers as she defended while throwing a punch or two in his direction, but they didn't do any damage since she was holding back so much.

[Incoming!] Alex warned her a second before her spider senses started flaring.

A second assailant had arrived at the scene, Kraven the Hunter.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Kraven started shooting at Gwen from an angle where she would be forced to jump right into the Punisher's attack.

True to her enhanced reflexes, she jumped and used acrobatics to dodge every single bullet that he fired at her.

Just as she was about to land, the Punisher attacked her with his daggers as she used her webs to maneuver herself away from his attack while moving around him to kick him in the head.

There wasn't any trash talk since it was usually Gwen who liked talking trash but even she was quiet through the fight. Probably because she was so focused on holding back.

Meanwhile, Kraven had pulled out another weapon, a grenade launcher. And he fired a grenade at her just as she landed.

She was forced to catch it with her webs and start coating around it in a desperate bid to form a cocoon and not let it explode.

As she was doing this her attackers were already preparing to attack her.

[All right this is it, Gwen! I'm fucking annoyed with you…] She heard Alex's voice in her head and a moment later she felt like her body wasn't in control anymore.

Alex had taken control of her body and she wasn't in control of her actions anymore.

Alex ignored the grenade as he ran up to the Punisher who was taking out his guns.

He pointed the guns at Alex who was in control of Gwen's body and started shooting.

Alex didn't even seem to be moving as he was dodging the bullets with ease. He fully used the enhanced power that Gwen possessed without holding anything back.

All The Punisher saw was a white blur moving around as Spider-Woman walked toward him.

*Boom*

There was an explosion in the back but Alex didn't pay it any heed and kept moving forward.

[Alex! Stop! Alex!] Meanwhile Gwen was shouting at him angrily for doing this.

[Shut it! I will not have you die because of some fear. Especially not to these weaklings…] His tone completely conveyed how angry he was with her while tuning her out.

Meanwhile, as he was dodging the Punisher's bullets, Alex shot a web at Kraven, who was prepared and grabbed the web, pulling it toward himself.

Turns out that Kraven had overestimated himself as he couldn't even get make Alex move from his spot.

Alex then pulled at the web, bringing Kraven flying with it. At the same time, the Punisher seemed to have run out of bullets as he decided on close combat.

"You fuckers are annoying me…" He changed the angle of his pull and slammed Kraven into the Punisher who was charging toward him.

He then charged at the two of them who'd recovered almost instantly from the attack.

Before they were even able to register his presence, Alex punched them both in their throats, knocking the wind out of both of them.

Then he started webbing them up with the intent of cocooning them. But the Punisher almost instantly broke apart the webs using his ballistic knives and launched a kick at Alex's face.

Alex calmly grabbed the Punisher's leg and slammed him on the ground.

"Argh!!" The Punisher cried out in pain as the pavement seemed to have cracked from the force that he'd been slammed with.

As Kraven broke free from the web, he charged at Alex who'd decided to finish up.

Just as Kraven reached him Alex grabbed his throat at a speed no one could react to and channeled Gwen's bio-electricity while augmenting it with his own ‹Basic Lightning Manipulation›, shocking him into unconsciousness.

He did the same for the Punisher before cocooning them both up in webs and hanging them up before leaving.

He arrived at the warehouse where he and Gwen had tested their abilities and gave back control of her body to Gwen.

"Alex, you motherfucking asshole!" She screamed out just as he gave her control over her body.

[Woah, Gwenny. Language.] He imitated her father's voice.

Gwen felt shivers go down her spine as she heard him.

[Please, never use that voice…] She was disgusted by the thought of Alex acting like her father.

[Damn, here go my expectations of hearing you one day call me daddy…] He joked.

[Don't change the topic! What the hell were you doing? Why did you do that?] Gwen was so angry that she punched a pillar with her full power, breaking the concrete into chunks.

[You, and your oh-so glorious brain, kept holding back. Far too much, mind you. After my enhancements, dealing with fuckers like Kraven and Punisher should've been a piece of cake for you.] He told her with seriousness lacing his voice.

[But…] She got interrupted by him.

[Oh, no more buts from you. You will keep quiet and listen.] He growled into her head.

[…] She didn't have it in her to say anything after hearing his threatening tone.

[You're scared after yesterday, you hurt that guy and realized that you needed to hold back even more. To the point, where someone could easily get the drop on you and capture you, or worse.]

"You don't know me!" She screamed at him angrily stomping on the ground to the point where it made a large spiderweb of cracks. His words had hit the mark, after hurting that man yesterday, she'd indeed been scared of hurting someone and ended up consciously holding back far too much.

All versions of Spider-Man have this issue. They hold back until someone with an equal power level gets the jump on them and wins. Gwen, on the other hand, was a case that was far worse, even by Spider-Man standards when it came to holding back.

[I don't? I know enough. I know that the reason you hold back so much was that when you didn't hold back, you killed an innocent man.] He told her calmly.

[Stop it, Alex…] She growled, with a hint of pleading in her voice.

[You need to hear this Gwen. It's been years. You have to accept this. He's dead. The world hates you, hell they outright blame you for the death of Peter Parker. You are the public enemy number one no matter what you do unless it's something too monumental to ignore. Do you think saving someone's cat is going to change people's opinion of you? Of course not.] He showed her the reality of her situation. Something that no one had seemed to have done for her.

"Shut up, Alex!" Gwen was outright crying at this point. Alex had bared her trauma and told her that what she was doing was completely meaningless.

Seeing her expression that looked desolate as tears fell from her eyes, Alex's heart slightly melted and he decided to hold back on the reprimanding.

He didn't say anything more and two tendrils formed from the suit to wipe away her tears. He warmed up the Ghost-Spider suit that she was wearing and tightened his hold over her. Giving Gwen the illusion that she was being hugged tight in Alex's embrace.

[You're an asshole… And you don't know anything…] She was feeling comfortable in his warm embrace but was also angry after he'd said so many mean things to her.

[Then tell me… And I'll give you a solution. A realistic solution.] Although he knew her story from the comics, he couldn't tell her that.

[Fine… I'll start from the beginning. I was still in high school when I got bit by the spider that gave me my powers. I was a popular and smart teenage girl so I used my powers as a way of getting even more popular. It fulfilled quite a bit of my vanity. People started calling me Spider-Woman from then on…] She chuckled as she was reminiscing about good times.

Alex waited for her to continue.

[People loved me and I was something of a local superhero. Especially after my dad told me that I could help a lot of people. He was the Captain of the NYPD back then… I didn't realize it, but Peter also wanted to be special… He looked up to Spider-Woman… So he created his own version of an enhancing serum to become like me… That was when things went wrong. Every… single… thing went wrong after that…] She had a desolate tone as she told him all this.

[He turned into a lizard monster that ended up rampaging through the school. I was angry, impulsive, and an amateur… I hit him with my full strength, he was the first monster that I'd encountered. I didn't hold back with him like I usually did with small-time criminals… I kept beating him up, not knowing who that lizard was… Even when he pleaded for leniency… I didn't stop… And when the injuries got to him… his mutation depowered, and he returned to being good old Peter Parker…] Tears were welling up in her eyes as she recalled the moment of her best friend's death in her arms.

Alex tried to comfort her by wiping her tears and hugging her tightly.

[…But he couldn't sustain his injuries and he… died. I killed my best friend because I didn't know to hold back. So trust me, I'd rather hold back and let myself get hurt than repeat a situation like that again…] She had bitterness marred all over her tone.

[That incident led to a spiral of problems. The police issued a warrant for my arrest… Even now, technically the manhunt is still going on for Spider-Woman, the unique situation of multiple worlds has slightly de-escalated the manpower being deployed after me, but it's still there… The initial manhunt led to my father finding out about my identity and his resignation from the force… Before another captain took over the manhunt.] She was very guilty about her father's situation.

[I lost my powers after the woman who'd made the radioactive spider decided that she was going to fuck me over. She took away my power, or at least suppressed it, before beating the living daylights out of me…]

[My life is pretty fucked up, Alex… I don't think anything can fix this all…] She didn't have hope of a better situation for her life.

Alex didn't know how to comfort her after she told him everything. He'd known all of this, but hearing it from her gave it a deeper perspective.

[Fine… you win. You can hold back all you want. But you're learning martial arts and more things that would augment your abilities and bring you real control over your powers. No more running on instincts that could end up with you killing someone or you killing yourself by holding back too much. And if you become too much of a pussy to hit back, I'll take over and pummel your enemy to the ground for you… What do you say?]

[Fine… I am a girl though… So calling me a pussy doesn't seem… I don't know, correct?] She quipped with a smile on her face. As weird as it felt to not be in control of her body, Alex made sure that it wasn't unpleasant for her.

He could've knocked her to take control out but that wouldn't be of any use since she wouldn't be able to see and understand how he utilizes her powers. He's got much more ideas about the potential of her powers.

[I'm glad you're a girl… I can do so many things with you. Whenever I want… however I want…] He said to her in a husky tone and tendrils started extending from her suit to form a familiar bed in the warehouse.

"❤Aahnn~❤" She moaned as she felt him caress her sensitive spots.

 

After they were done with what Alex liked to call a bonding session, he decided to start her combat training.

‹Bonding Rate: 9%›

She was only one percentage point away from generating daily EP for him. He would give her his love when they got back home from training.

"Haah~ haah~" Gwen was breathing heavily after multiple orgasms in a row as she curled up on the bed.

It was the most comfortable bed that she'd ever felt in her entire life.

[Consider this your pre-workout incentive. You have five minutes. Get ready for your training. We have 1 hour of intense physical exercise followed by one hour of hand-to-hand combat training.]

[What! No… I'm tired…] She whined.

[Training is important.] He said in a hard tone that made Gwen unable to refute.

She pouted and started getting her breathing stable while trying to prepare herself for the workout.

[What kind of physical combat am I going to learn?] She asked him since she was curious.

[For now? None. I'm going to get you used to fighting someone who outclasses you in every way, with better reflexes, better senses, and better physical strength.]

[Who's that?!] She didn't know whom Alex found.

[Me of course… Did you think that I'm some sort of helpless blob of tentacles that can only help you live out your dirty tentacle fantasies?] He called her fetishes out, embarrassing her to death.

[Hey! You're the one with tentacle fetishes…]She grumbled.

[Right… Get up. your 5 minutes are up.] He told her to get up.

[2 more minutes…] She pleaded.

Alex didn't say anything and made the bed that was under her disappear as she fell on the floor.

"Hey!" She complained. Alex had already covered the naked girl with her Ghost-Spider suit as she fell on the hard concrete.

[Chop, chop, get to work.] He told her.

"Fine…" She got up and took a deep breath, getting herself into the zone.

[We'll start with 10 laps around the warehouse.]

[That's it?]

[Of course not. With 10 tons of mass pressing on your body.] He told her as her suit seemed to have suddenly gotten extremely heavy.

"Eep…" She almost fell when so much mass started pressuring her body.

"Alex, I think think this is too much…" She didn't feel like she would be able to complete a single lap like this.

[Get to it, Gwen. You can stop in the middle if it's too much. We have to start somewhere. Now Go!] At his signal, Gwen started running.

Although she seemed to be walking while taking heavy steps.

Alex paid attention to her body as it was exerted to its limits. Alex was patient with her as he cheered her on.

[Keep going, Gwen. You can do it!] His words made a difference as she seemed to be pushing herself with full force to complete her lap.

It took her 5 minutes to complete the first lap.

'We might have to increase the time duration for today… It's fine, it's not like she needs any sleep with me around…' Alex realized that with her speed, it was indeed going to be difficult to get done so quickly.

Gwen on the other hand was under excruciating pressure as she completed her first lap. She didn't have the luxury to pay attention to her position as she was only able to pay attention to each step that she took.

She felt like it had already been hours since she'd started.

[Good job, Gwen… One lap completed.] He told her as the weight that was pressing all over her body instantly disappeared.

"Haah… Hah…" With that, Gwen fell on the floor while taking deep breaths.

[60-second rest. Then we'll start the next lap.] He told her.

"Alex… Huff… I don't think… Huff… I can't do it… Huff." She was huffing hard.

[You can do anything, Gwen. You should trust yourself more. And most of all, you should trust me more…] Alex told her as suddenly, her body was rejuvenated to its peak state.

She was speechless at this situation.

[I told you. With me here. You can reach heights that you've never dreamed of.]

"You're going to torture me like this for a long time aren't you?" She asked him with dread in her tone as she stood up.

[For all eternity, baby…] He told her as her suit started pressing on her again, increasing the weight to 10.5 tons this time.

[Go!] At his signal she started walking.

"Argh..." She growled as she increased her pace of walking.

40 minutes later, she was done with 10 laps. By the end, she'd made a lap with a weight of 12 tons pressing on her.

That was the limit of her base stats on the previous day.

Today, after this training, it had already increased to 12.5 Tons.

After the next part of the training, Alex knew that it would increase to 12.75 tons and by the end of the hand-to-hand combat, she would at least be at the 13 metric ton threshold.

Next up was strength training, Alex's presence had basically removed the need to buy any equipment as he was able to create whatever he wanted at a moment's notice.

Another hour and a half later, she was done with her strength training.

Alex had increased the one-hour physique training time to two hours after realizing that the laps were going to take more time than anticipated.

When she was finally done with her strength training, Gwen ended up flopping down on the uncomfortable concrete floor.

[Get some rest, you deserve it…] Alex told her as he formed a bed under her.

[So now you have a conscience?] She was bitter about being put through such a hellish training regimen. She was constantly pushed to her limits and when her body was too tired to move, Alex would rejuvenate her body to its peak state. It was almost like torture to Gwen since her mind was being put under a lot of pressure constantly.

Alex could've also rejuvenated her mind, but that wouldn't have been beneficial for her. He wanted her to get used to pushing herself to her limits constantly. Only then would it be possible for her to go all out without holding back when it actually mattered.

Pushing herself to her limits should become second nature to her.

[I'll let you rest for 5 minutes before we get to the hand-to-hand combat part.]

[Can't we do it tomorrow Alex? I'm really tired… ]

[We'll be doing this every day, Gwen. No excuses.]

Gwen was horrified when he told her that.

"Every… Day?"

[Every single day. My strength is very much linked to yours and I'm a very greedy and power-hungry symbiote. I will make sure that you keep getting stronger so that I can get stronger.]

"But…" She didn't think she would be able to take this kind of intense training every single day.

[Nothing will happen to you. I can make sure that you not only get stronger but also don't end up breaking down. Think about it. Just in this session of two hours, you can now lift 12.75 tons from the previous 12 tons. No one has that kind of growth in normal circumstances.] Alex spent some more time talking to her and convincing her.

"Fine… But if I wake up tomorrow and feel too tired and sad, I'm blaming you…" She grumbled to him as she got up from the bed.

The five minutes were up and it was time for the next lesson.

As she got up, black tendrils started coming out of her suit and coalesced into a humanoid figure.

It was Alex. His upper body was naked and he was wearing nothing but combat pants that were suitable for their training.

"Nice to meet you, Gwen…" He smiled at her.

"Alex?" She had a confused expression on her face.

"In the flesh. I took up a human name, taking a human form should hardly be surprising. I made my face look like something that suits my personality." He told her.

"Amazing…" Gwen was admiring his toned body.

"You can admire me later, for now, let's get to fighting," Alx told her as he took a fighting stance.

He'd already started some light physical and martial arts training with Natasha in the MCU earth so he had some understanding of how to fight.

"When the bell rings, we start fighting. It will end in one hour, no excuses. If you get too hurt, I will heal you up. So go all out because I'm not going to hold back." He told her as a bell was created at the side.

Gwen had a determined expression on her face as she took a fighting stance. Although untrained, she'd fought for quite a long time and had some tricks up her sleeve.

*Ring*

Both Alex and Gwen Rushed at each other and threw a punch at each other. The two punches clashed, creating a slight shockwave as Gwen's fist was pushed back.

She was at a disadvantage in direct confrontation, so she tried to use her speed to get the jump on Alex, but he was even faster than her and caught up to her.

Even when it came to her senses and reflexes. Her Spider-Sense fell short of Alex's. This was because the symbiote race is better at sensing things and has an innately strong sensory ability.

What followed was a one-sided beatdown of Gwen as she was shown what would happen if she met an opponent of a similar level or even stronger than her.

It wasn't going to instantly fix her issues with using her strength, but regular training of this sort was going to be very beneficial for her.

As the training ended, Gwen's strength had reached the 13-ton point and she was left with a battered body as she tried to recover from the torturous beatdown that she'd received.

"I feel like you're worse than that bitch who took away my powers and beat the crap out of me…" She was really second-guessing her decision to bond with Alex.

"Aww… Are you pouting? Come here, my big baby boo…" Alex teased her as he picked her up in his arms and brought her to the bed.

She didn't have any strength to resist as he hugged her to his chest and cuddled with her.
