Marvel: I'm a Symbiote

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.
