Chapter 11: Reality Check
Back in Earth-65, or Ghost-Spider's dimension.
Gwen was feeling like she was sleeping on the world's comfiest bed as she woke up. She was feeling extremely refreshed. It was as if she'd had the best sleep possible tonight.
Soon, she fluttered open her eyes while stretching in the comfy bed.
She yawned as everything from the previous night started coming back to her.
[ALEX!!!] She fumed.
[Morning, Gwen!] He was cheery.
[L-last night! What the f-fuck was all that?!] She felt extremely embarrassed about what she'd experienced last night and was trying to hide it behind a mask of anger.
[I know you had fun.] He teased her.
[You ZAPPED ME with electricity… on my… my…] Her face was getting redder by the second.
[Your nipples and clit?] He chuckled at how she was able to swear so easily but was embarrassed about mentioning this.
[This is serious!] She didn't like his nonchalant attitude.
[I was serious too. There were two reasons why I did it. One was because I know how much of a masochistic slut you are. Don't try to deny it, I know.] He was just messing with her. She wasn't into pain. She was just into electricity play.
[Bullshit.] She denied it vehemently.
[The other reason was to unlock something amazing…] He didn't pay attention to her denial and moved on to the next topic.
[What?] She seemed to be deflated after a while of fuming and asked him with a helpless tone.
[I'll show you…] He made her bring her hand up and suddenly little sparks started coming out of her fingers.
[Woah…] She seemed mesmerized by the look of little electric sparks being created in her hands.
[Bio-Electricity, this was the second reason that I wanted to zap you. I'd noticed the potential for this ability hidden in your genome and had to use a catalyst to awaken the ability. Hence the overwhelming pleasure while being zapped with electricity.] He said with a completely flat tone that made Gwen think that he did it only to awaken her ability.
[So that's why you did all that?] She didn't realize the slight tinge of disappointment in her tone.
[Of course not. There were other ways to awaken the ability. I went with the most explosive and pleasurable one… Who doesn't like a kinky good time?] He asked her rhetorically as he zapped her nipple again.
"Ahh!" She shrieked with a girly voice as she jumped up with full force. Alex had to nail her down and suppress her otherwise she would've made a hole in the ceiling.
[Easy there…] He said in a reprimanding tone.
[Easy yourself. Why are you zapping me?] She wanted revenge and tried to discharge electricity from her body, thinking it would make Alex uncomfortable.
[It's to help you train your ability. The more electricity you experience in vulnerable situations, the better your power…] He semi-bullshit her. He was only doing this because he liked her cute reactions.
[Why aren't you being affected by my electricity?] She ignored him and asked as she realized that the electricity wasn't affecting him at all.
[I also have the ability to manipulate lightning on a small scale. Last night, I suppressed an electricity blast from your ability awakening which would've completely destroyed your room, literally vaporizing most of the stuff in here.] He said in a nonchalant way.
[Wait, really?!] Her eyes were wide open.
[Yeah.]
[I don't know what to say… Thank you I guess… But still. Can't you stop doing these kinds of things? It's inappropriate…] Gwen wanted to set some boundaries.
[What's inappropriate about it? The two of us are basically permanently bonded to each other, physically and mentally. I saw in that guy's memories… What do you call it… Yes, marriage, we're basically married, and that too on a really deep level. This kind of stuff is completely normal.] He told her as if it was a matter of fact.
[M-Marriage? I-I don't even have a boyfriend…] She didn't know how to react to his words.
[Well, that's how it is… Also, I saw quite a few different things in that guy's memory and I want to try all those things with you… call it curiosity.] He whispered.
[W-What kind of things?] She was feeling slightly apprehensive of his tone.
[The sexual kind my dear Gwen. There are so many things for us to try, vaginal, anal, role-play, and this unique thing that I saw in his memories. I think it's called tentacles.] Alex was absolutely loving her increasingly embarrassed reactions.
[Alex… I'm-I'm a virgin… Let's…] She was overwhelmed and scared by the stuff he'd mentioned.
[That's why I'm taking things slow, babe… Don't worry. For now, though we have something important to do.]
[What?] She could feel his evil smirk even though she couldn't see it.
[Practice, of course…] He said as slowly the area around her crotch and chest started compressing.
He was going to give her the equivalent of a morning fuck before she could get on with her day. He wouldn't have sex with her yet, he was going to take his sweet time and enjoy corrupting her and making her his lively depraved bitch of a host.
…
After a morning orgasm, Alex got her ready for college.
And as per his promise, he was the one who chose her clothes. She'd ended up wearing a crop top with denim shorts.
Her piercing was also visible from the crop top that she was wearing.
She didn't mind the clothes and actually quite liked them. Gwen didn't realize but Alex had already taken control of quite a few basic things in her life within a single day.
Alex also had some risque fun with her in college by teasing her sensitive spots every once in a while. He liked messing with her.
When college ended, she asked Alex for her Ghost-Spider suit and went to do some superhero business.
…
"Woohoo! I've missed this so much…" Gwen screamed as she swung around through Manhattan while doing intense maneuvers and going at full speed.
[You were swinging through the city with your powers suppressed yesterday…]
[Yeah, but that was different… I couldn't actually do anything intense. Hell, all I was doing was to swinging around the city and making my presence visible… After those 39 other planets appeared, there were a few days of mass hysteria but things have seemed to calm down for now.] She told him through their telepathic connection.
[It's temporary… You know that, right? All of those worlds are currently in a 'laying-low' situation, preparing for whatever is about to come… At some point, there will be an influx of chaos that will completely destroy all semblance of peace…]
[I know…] She was somber.
[You need to prepare yourself. And you need to get stronger.] He gave her a reality check.
[How though? I haven't been able to improve myself for quite a while. For one thing, my powers were suppressed, and even before that, I'd never been able to cross the threshold of lifting ten tons. Hell, I haven't even reached that ten-ton point again after that one time. My strength always falls short. Bonding with you is the only reason that my power has increased a bit, before that, it was all stagnant.] She hadn't been able to increase her strength after the initial month when her body was getting used to the spider bite mutation.
[Yeah, yeah. That's all in the past. Bonding with me was the best thing that could've happened to you. I can easily fix that.] Alex told her with a prideful touch in his tone.
[Narcissistic much?] She quipped, interrupting him.
[Don't interrupt me…] He threatened her and pinched her nipples as she swung through the city.
"Ahh!" She lost her balance and ended up losing control of her trajectory.
Alex had to control her body in the meantime so that she doesn't fall.
[Don't do that!] She was mad.
[Consider this a lesson. And I like messing around with you at the worst possible time… Mostly because I know that I can take control when you mess up and protect you like the little baby that you are.] He teased her.
[Well… Don't do that… Please?] She knew that she couldn't win against him and decided to try a different tactic.
He ignored her and continued, [Let's get back to what we were talking about. Your strength. Bonding with me is going to slowly change your body into something much better than a human. Especially the upper limit of your strength. I've basically removed all limitations from your body and you can get as strong as you want. But the catch is that you have to train. Not only the basic stuff like lifting and running. You need to learn martial arts and develop your bio-electricity. You have a whole lot to do.]
[I don't need to learn martial arts. My reflexes are very, very fast.] She didn't want to spend time learning.
[Yes and imagine a person comes with similar reflexes as you and who also has mastery over melee combat… They would completely whoop your ass. Take Wolverine for example, the guy is a master of melee combat and he could whoop your ass in three seconds flat. Your superhuman reflexes ain't shit in front of him. The best you can do is run away before he reaches you.]
He didn't mention that Wolvorine's base strength was weaker than hers. The guy could beat her up even without going all out. He wanted to motivate her, not dishearten her.
[…That's hurtful.]
[And truthful. And I'm going to make sure that that changes soon. I'm going to create a regimen that you'll be following to the dot from now on. If you don't want to then I'll make sure that you do.] He said with a tone of finality.
[You talk as if you know all this stuff.]
[I do. I know my stuff very well. Now we have to do something important. Let's go to your empty warehouse where you usually go when you want to punch something.] He wasn't going to go into detail about the origins of his knowledge.
[How do you know that?]
[I can read you like an open book Gwenny…] He imitated her father's tone.
[Please don't call me that.]
[Why? I saw that daddy is a nice term of endearment for your significant other…] He teased her.
[God… Please, no…] She didn't want to call Alex daddy.
[Haha… Let's go. Stop swinging back to your house.] He caught on to her act.
[But…] She tried to bargain.
[Now. We have to test your powers after the enhancements and how strong you are at your base level.] He wasn't having it.
[Fine…] She sulked as she swung to the empty warehouse.
