Chapter 2: Earth?
*Boom*
There was a loud crash within Central Park as what seemed like a meteor fell from the sky.
Alex, who was within the object that crashed was feeling uncomfortable but wasn't in any pain.
The chambers were made with the symbiotes' weakness in mind and mitigated most of the vibrations and didn't lead to any damage.
'Let's hope I can find someone soon…' Alex thought as he slithered out from the chamber and tried to blend with the surroundings.
He was glad that there was a canopy of trees as the light of the sun was a bit of an unpleasant experience for him.
Soon enough he sensed the vibrations within the ground that made him understand that someone had come to examine the crash site.
In the next instant, Alex ambushed the unsuspecting person and attached himself to their leg.
'Is this supposed to be spandex!?" He was dumbfounded when he felt the material that he was merging with.
'Is Spider-Man some sort of fated connection that all symbiotes have?' Although Spider-Man's appearance at the crash site wasn't that much of a surprise, it was still weird that he was the first person that appeared there.
'Shouldn't his Spider-Sense have activated? Maybe because I didn't have any bad intentions…' He thought
'Maybe it's some other person within the spandex suit…' He thought as he kept slowly and discretely merging with the suit.
He wasn't really interested in being wrapped around a man's body, even the thought disgusted him to the point of wanting to abandon his current actions.
Venom was different, he didn't have a real consciousness, it worked on its instincts. But Alex was different. He had complete consciousness and a thought process.
Just as he thought of abandoning this spandex-clad hero, he felt something. Something that a man could never have.
'Boobs?' He felt the ample chest of the person that he was attached to.
When he realized that it wasn't a man, he hastened his process of merging with the suit.
The female variant of Spider-Man was none the wiser as she was looking around that capsule-like chamber that had fallen from the sky.
"Is this supposed to be some sort of container of some lifeform that was sent to earth?" She was confident in her abilities and didn't bother to take too many precautions before coming here.
Alex took full advantage of that and completely merged with her suit.
'Ghost-Spider…' He realized as he saw the design of the suit.
The hood that made the Ghost-Spider distinct from other variants was what helped him realize who it was.
'Is this the Gwen Stacy from into the Spider-Verse?' Alex thought as he finally tapped into her genetic makeup and started developing his senses and powers which were derived from Ghost-Spider's powers.
«Bonded with a host»
«Bonding System activating»
'I knew it…' Alex had expected something like this after realizing the presence of a sort of system that was connected to him.
«Activation complete»
«Good Luck»
With that, the prompt disappeared.
'System?' As he was completely copying the genetic makeup of Gwen Stacy—The Ghost-Spider, he decided to see what this system was about.
{ Host #1 - Status
«Name: Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider)»
«Bonding Rate: 0%»
«Powers: Superhuman Endurance— Superhuman Agility— Superhuman Strength— Spider Sense— Wall Crawling» «Currently Suppressed»
}
'What the fuck does currently suppressed mean? Is that why her spider-sense didn't warn her…' He thought as he read through her repertoire of powers.
'Oh, yeah… It was a thing that happened with the Ghost-Spider at some point. Is this supposed to be fate…'
He'd read that at some point, the Ghost-Spider had lost her powers. She only got them back after merging with the venom of her universe.
'Talk about weird shit… Why is she still in her hero costume then? Oh yeah… Goody-two-shoes. The problem with every variant of Spider-Man…' At some point, he had finally copied her genetic makeup and was able to create pseudo-senses for himself.
He developed sight, hearing, smell, and everything else that he kept feeling the lack of.
Finally, he took a deep breath of fresh air. Feeling his senses return to him was something that he'd been yearning for a while.
'What's this bonding thing?' He got distracted when he noticed [Bonding Rate] in Gwen's status panel.
'Eh, whatever…' He put it at the back of his mind for now and decided to focus on his new host.
The very sexy host that he'd just bonded to.
She had a cute face with short messy blonde hair.
There was a barbell piercing on her right eyebrow which he thought looked really sexy.
She had an amazing figure with slender legs, a toned stomach, and amazing tits.
'I wanna fuck her…' That was the first thought he had after he admired her amazing body.
Nothing of hers was hidden from him as he was basically covering her entire body right now.
'She even has navel and tongue piercings…' He noticed that there was a similar barbell piercing on her navel and on her tongue which he thought was really sexy.
The next thing that he did was try to use the telepathic connection that was established with her and read her memories.
Since he realized that he was a symbiote and in the Marvel, world to boot, his morals had gone out the window and he was focused on surviving and trying to enjoy his life.
He wasn't interested in living mediocrely again. He'd died full of regrets and he didn't want that to happen again. Especially when he could die at any time. There were beings that could kill him with a thought in the Marvel Multiverse.
'Let's let her get home before I reveal myself… I'll read her memories till then.'
When he'd blended with her suit he'd made sure that it didn't become black since it would be suspicious.
He waited as Gwen examined the crashed container for a while before webbing it to herself.
'She doesn't have organic webs…' He noticed when he saw her use web shooters.
'At least she should be able to get home soon.'
He spent the rest of his time delving into her surface memories.
He couldn't go deep into her psyche without making her feel his presence so he held back and only probed her surface memories.
He saw how she got here while sluggishly web-swinging. With her super strength suppressed, it was very hard for her to effectively swing around. He saw glimpses of quite a few things before seeing something that completely blew his mind.
'WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!!' He screamed inwardly.
The first thing he did was look at the sky.
And that was when he saw them.
Huge spheres, reminiscent of the Earth were visible in the sky.
'This isn't an incursion… Something's wrong…' Seeing the stable state of those planets Alex realized something.
'The 40 symbiotes were for all the different versions of earth…' He realized.
His other bodies still hadn't arrived at their locations since the shuttle that brought them here had been closest to this planet.
'Fuck… This is going to be so much worse…' He realized that this was probably going to be even worse than he imagined.
He suddenly calmed down and took a deep breath.
'No point in panicking. I'll see how everything goes…' He decided to start working as soon as his other bodies reach the planets.
His main body had already taken a humanoid form and was trying to understand the situation within the shuttle that he came here in.
By the time he was done exploring Gwen's memories, she'd come back home and was in her room.
She was sitting at her desk, examining the capsule that brought Alex to this planet.
'Time to talk to her…'
[Hello…] He said within her mind telepathically.
Gwen jumped in her seat and took a fighting stance.
"Who's there?"
[There's no one in your room. I'm talking inside your head…] Alex tried to explain.
"Like Charles?" Gwen's tone was slightly scared. She knew what a telepath could do once they got into your head.
'There's the X-Men in this version of Earth…' He noted.
[I don't know who this Charles person is, but judging by your reaction you seem to think that I'm a telepath. I'm not. I'm what came out of that capsule.]
That made Gwen only warier as she started thinking about how she could combat him.
Alex could read her like an open book even without reading her memories.
[I mean you no harm. I am one of the innumerable species within the universe. Beings of our kind are symbiotes they rely on other beings to survive. I need you… Without you, I'll die…]
He decided to appeal to the hero aspect of Gwen's psyche. And it worked. She seemed to calm down after his explanation.
"Can you show me your real self?" She asked.
