Chapter 2767 - Marvel 15

On Earth-65.

"Hey, Gwen… Are you free?" MJ caught up to Gwen. They'd both just left a common lecture.

"MJ?" Gwen was surprised to see her old high school friend, "Sure, what's up?" Gwen asked feeling bewildered inside. They hadn't talked more than the occasional hello when they passed by each other in the hall for the better part of college.

They'd drifted apart after Gwen got busy with her Spider-Woman stuff and ended up ditching her old friends. Peter's death was also a big factor in the splitting up of Gwen from her old friends.

"You want to get the band back together?" MJ asked Gwen.

"Oh…" Gwen took a minute to process the question, "Are you sure that you want me on? After last time…" Gwen trailed off.

"Yeah… It's just not the same without you. So what if you bailed on us at the last moment right before our biggest concert…" MJ said with an edge in her tone that left Gwen feeling a little guilty. She looked to the side, feeling guilty enough to not be able to look MJ in her eyes.

"You wanna come back to drum for the Mary Janes?" MJ offered again.

"I'd love to." Gwen smiled brightly and agreed, "When is our next gig?" Gwen asked next, making MJ feel a little conscious.

"In two days…" MJ said sheepishly, feeling a little guilty about the short-term notice that she gave Gwen.

"Two days?!" Gwen barely held herself from shouting.

"Yeah…" MJ said with a wince, expecting Gwen to reject her.

"…Sure. I'm in." Gwen ended up agreeing after some thought. Since she was on a break from her Spider-Woman gig as Alex managed things, this was the perfect way to have some fun.

"Really?" MJ was surprised that Gwen agreed so easily.

"Really." Gwen said, only to be tackled by a surprise hug from MJ, "Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me…" MJ said while hugging Gwen.

"You'd already exhausted all your options before coming to me didn't you?" Gwen teased.

"Uhh… Mhm." MJ hesitantly nodded, "No take-backs!" She said quickly, afraid that Gwen would ditch them again.

"I'm not planning to take back anything," Gwen said, "Though I need to get back in tune with the band, where are you guys practicing?" She asked.

"We have a pretty nice spot, I'll send you the address. Can you come by tonight at 9?" MJ asked.

"Sure." Gwen agreed and left.

[See, not being Spider-Woman is already doing good for you. You're reconnecting with old friends, going back to your usual hobbies. Everything is going so well…] Alex commented as Gwen walked to her next destination.

[Yeah, I guess… it's peaceful not having to take care of so much stuff all the time…] Gwen had been feeling pretty lax these past few weeks since she'd stopped being Spider-Woman. Though her training kept getting more and more intense. Alex regularly drilled her in more ways than one.

[ «Status- Host #1»

«Name: Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider) (Earth-65)»

«Bonding Rate: 57%»

«Bonding Level: 2»

«Powers: Superhuman Physique (40->60 Tons)— Spider Sense— Wall Crawling— Bio-Electricity—»

]

Her physique had increased to quite a high level after all these regular training sessions.

Soon, she was at her destination.

[Cindy had far too many resources, no?] Gwen asked as she looked at the seemingly newly built skyscraper in downtown Manhattan.

[Honestly, even I'm surprised with this. Just getting a location like this is difficult enough, but getting a skyscraper remodeled from the ground up within weeks of disbanding her old organization… She's crazy good.] Alex was impressed.

[Yeah…] Gwen said as she walked into the building and directly went to the top floor, knowing that Cindy would be there. There were no identity issues since Cindy made sure to tell the people who 'Stacy' in Stacy Industries was.

"Hi, Cindy," Gwen said as she walked into Cindy's office.

"Gwen! How are you." Cindy got up from her seat and came to Gwen to give her a hug.

"You know, same old, same old. What about you? How are things with the production lines going?" She asked.

"We're still being blocked by the conservatives in the government saying that such advanced prosthetics can cause problems and shit…" Cindy grumbled.

[How about I help out?] Both girls heard Alex's voice in their heads. After his increased capabilities with Chaos energy, Alex finally established a telepathic connection with Cindy. Now, he could easily communicate telepathically with anyone who was wearing his collar.

"Can you, Alex?" Cindy pleaded. She knew about quite a few of Alex's capabilities, and she was aware of his mind-manipulation abilities.

[Sure, just text Gwen the list of people. I'll make sure that in your next meeting with them, they are… perfectly accommodating.] He said with an edge to his time.

"No!" Gwen instantly interjected herself.

"What?" Cindy asked.

"No. There will be no mind manipulation shenanigans going on. If they are blocking us, then we'll find another way." Gwen disagreed with Alex's approach.

"Gwen, the alternative is me threatening them with their lives and families. And it's extremely troublesome." Cindy stated.

"Cindy, there are legal ways to get all of this stuff done," Gwen said.

"Yeah, but it would take too long…" Cindy mumbled.

'Guess, I'll have to convince her again…' Alex thought, slightly annoyed, but he understood where she was coming from.

Seeing as their conversation wasn't leading to any result, Alex decided to stop them and said, [Okay, girls. Stop. We'll come back to this later.] He said.

"Fine," Both Cindy and Gwen agreed.

They spent the rest of the time talking about more stuff and Cindy filled Gwen in with the information for when she eventually takes the seat of the chairman. Cindy will always be the CEO, but Gwen was technically the owner of the company and was needed to play a role.

With everything finished at the company, Gwen moved to the warehouse for her daily training.

"Alex, can we finish up before 8?" Gwen asked Alex who was standing in front of her.

"Don't worry, you won't miss your appointment with your friends." He told her.

"Thanks, Alex, you're the best." She jumped at him to hug him tightly.

"All right, all right. Calm down. We still have an hour or so to train, and I'll be drilling you extra hard." Alex's expression sent shivers down Gwen's spine.

Gwen was wheezing after the intense hour of exercise that she'd experienced, "Are… we… done?" She asked between huffs.

"Yes, we are, my dear Gwen. And since you took everything so well today, I've decided that we're going on a date tomorrow." Alex told her as he rejuvenated her mind and body.

She took a few seconds to register his words, "A date?" She looked at him curiously.

"Yep. I was hoping that you'd ask me for some usual romance stuff like a date or trip, but apparently, you're either too pussy or too dense to initiate it. So, tomorrow, dinner. Okay?" Alex asked.

"Mhm…" She wasn't sure how she was supposed to react so she just nodded and agreed.

"Great. Don't book tomorrow evening and night with your band. The rest of your day is free." Alex told her.

"And training?" She asked.

"Eh, I've decided to go slightly lax on your training for now. I've found a more efficient way to train, but it needs some time to prepare. So you have some lax days up ahead." Alex told her. He was going to use the Asgardian training regime for her along with their data for multiple races in the world to see what would be optimal.

"Oh my god, really!" She jumped up and grabbed both his hands before looking into his eyes, "You're the best," She gave him a passionate kiss.

"Yeah, ask her out on a date and you get a lackluster nod, on the other hand, tell her that she gets to rest from training and suddenly you have a confession of her undying love from her…" Alex said sarcastically.

"Come on, Alex… Training is such a pain." Gwen acted cheeky and rubbed her face in his neck, making him shake his head in defeat. He hugged her back and ran his hands through her hair gently, lightly massaging her scalp while running his other palm over her lower back.

A few minutes later, Gwen showed no signs of wanting to separate from Alex's comfortable embrace so Alex decided to bring her back to reality, "You'll be late for band practice." He said.

"Yeah…" She said but didn't make any more to separate.

"You don't want to go?" He said.

"I don't want to separate from you." She was feeling clingy.

"Come on, chop-chop. You'll feel bad later about ditching them. You know that I'm with you all the time, right." He said.

"I know." She said, her arms still wrapped tightly around his torso.

Alex stopped caressing her hair and brought his hand to her shoulder to push her away, but she resisted vehemently, "Noo!" She held him tight enough to break a weaker man's bones.

"Fine then, get on my back." Alex didn't want to literally force her away so he decided to give her a piggyback ride.

Alex was tightly holding Gwen's thighs as her legs were wrapped around his waist and her arms were wrapped around his neck. Though she'd somehow squeezed her face into the crook of his neck as she kept breathing his scent while asleep.

She was wrapped around him so tightly that he could easily feel her modest breasts being squished against his back. He was enjoying the experience so much that he decided to not use any power to camouflage himself or move faster. He leisurely walked through the streets of New York while giving Gwen a piggyback ride.

'Almost a soothing experience… like meditation…' Alex thought. He wasn't being bothered by anyone or any noise as he'd used Chaos magic to surround himself so that whoever enters his sphere would naturally speak more softly so that Alex wouldn't be disturbed by any loud chatter.

Alex's relaxed feelings were infectious as Gwen had been fast asleep for some time while Alex brought her to her destination, 'Or is it the other way around? Where Gwen is the one relaxed and I'm the one those feelings are being shared with…' Alex had the thought but didn't delve into it. It didn't matter.

As he was walking he heard Gwen whisper in his ear, "I love you, Alex…" She said.

"Love you, too, baby." He said to her without turning around.

"You're the best partner I could've asked for." She said as she bit his earlobe while teasing him.

"If you want sex, then you have to wait. If we start now, then you'll meet your old bandmates tomorrow." He told Gwen.

"I don't care, I wanna fuck." She started licking his ear, making light shivers run down Alex's spine. As her tongue teased his ear, Alex was finding it increasingly hard to resist the temptation.

"Right here?" He teased her, hoping that she would back out after realizing that they were in a public place with tens of people passing by every minute.

"You can camouflage us. I want to feel your dick. Please, Alex…" She begged as she moved to his neck, sucking him, hoping to stimulate him enough to let him listen to her.

Even Alex had limits on how much he could resist temptations. Just as Gwen started sucking his neck, an invisible black substance was released from him and formed a large dome that covered them. Lastly, Alex applied Chaos energy to that dome so that people would naturally avoid it. Ever since he'd gained the increased control of Chaos energy from Wanda, he'd been able to do quite a number of interesting things with it.

That dome was invisible from both sides so no one noticed any difference, including Gwen, but Alex released a general compulsion using Chaos energy to make people ignore his and Gwen's presence. At the same time, the dome started reflecting the image of the building behind them. Everything was the same, except for Alex and Gwen. He made sure to do the same to any cameras in the vicinity using his cyberspace manipulation.

The best part of the dome was that it was transparent from the inside, allowing Alex and Gwen to see everyone else walking on the streets.

After the preparations were done, Alex's body morphed and his position reversed so that he was now facing Gwen. He grabbed her face and pulled her in for a deep kiss. At the same time, he walked to a wall and pressed her back against it. She was still wrapped around him like a koala and didn't seem to be planning to let go of him anytime soon.

Trapped between the wall and Alex's chest, Gwen was feeling as if she was completely at Alex's mercy and it made her even more aroused, she rubbed her crotch against his in an attempt to tempt him even more so that he would quickly fulfill her eternal itch.

"Such an impatient girl…" He pulled back from her face and looked into her eyes. "Don't make any noise. We may be camouflaged, but sounds are different." Alex told her a harmless lie. It was impossible for anyone to be able to even sense them both with Alex using Chaos energy to keep everyone away.

Gwen nodded and Alex continued the kiss, grabbing her perfect bubble butt, and squeezing her toned ass to his wishes. As he squeezed her ass, a part of Gwen's clothes disappeared and left her snatch free, the same happened with Alex's pants and he pressed his dick over Gwen's glistening folds.

He rubbed his dick over the length of her pussy, but didn't push it in just yet, he was teasing her while at the same time, he was playing with her butt to his heart's content.

"Alex~" She pulled back from the kiss and whined while trying to make his dick penetrate her but he pulled back just as the tip slightly went in.

"Say it, love." Alex smiled at her deviously as he gave her butt another squeeze.

"Just fuck me, you British-acting fuck!" She whisper-shouted at his face before going to his neck and biting him as a sort of revenge for teasing her.

"How impatient…" Alex didn't dally any longer and penetrated her folds. "Mmm~" She moaned but since she was biting Alex's shoulder, her moan was suppressed.

He kept going, slowly fucking her, allowing her to feel his shaft invading her. He'd felt her chaotic arousal calming down just as she felt his dick entering her. "Turns you just needed a good ol' fucking." He couldn't stop himself from teasing her.

"It's your fault for not… giving me… the after-training… reward. I was… horny~" Gwen said between suppressed moans. Seeing as she was able to suppress her moans at his current pace, he decided to take things up a notch.

One of his hands stopped mauling her butt and moved to her chest, he cupped her breast in his palm before giving it a nice squeeze, "Such perfect milkers…" He commented as he started playing with her chest too.

"Nhh~" Alex suddenly moved to her barbell piercing in her nipple and twisted it a little, making Gwen feel both pain and pleasure at the same time as she yelped, unable to suppress herself.

Alex took this opportunity to change the inner view of the dome and made a copy of what was going outside but now he would be able to manipulate what Gwen sees.

With her yelp, someone seemed to hear her words and come closer to Gwen making her panic and clamp herself around Alex's girth, "Holy shit, baby. You got real tight… Maybe I should make it even more difficult for you to suppress your voice. Do you want other people to see you being fucked by me, slut?" He asked with derision in his tone before smacking her breast, making her squeal lightly, but the sound was enough for him to make it seem as of another pedestrian heard her voice and came closer.

"Stop it, Alex!~" Gwen begged angrily as her panic increased even more and her body reacted by clamping around Alex's shaft, making it difficult for him to keep fucking her.

"I don't think I will." Alex said, looking at her with a smile, and kept going, making unique moves every once in a while that elicited a reaction from Gwen that would end up gathering more of the 'people' around her.

After a while, there was a small crowd around the duo but Alex's movements hadn't stopped. If anything, he'd gotten even rougher with her and kept messing with her. At one point, his finger started exploring her anal hole too. He was planning on fucking her anally too at some point. That got a real yelp from her as she tried to resist half-heartedly. She was very horny and the presence of the people around her was only making her clamp her core around Alex's shaft tightly.

Soon, Alex was sure that Gwen had had enough. She hadn't been able to climax for a while due to Alex alternating the pace and causing her rhythm to not be maintained. The presence of the 'crowd' also had a role. Although Gwen's body was reacting by tightening up, the panic was pushing back the arousal since she wasn't actually aroused by the prospect of being seen during sex.

Gwen was pretty close to a climax, so Alex pushed a butt plug into her ass while also unloading his cum into her snatch. He did it all just before she could cum and instantly pulled out of her pussy, making sure that she reached the optimal point before losing all stimulation.

"Alex!~" She moaned with a begging tone as she felt herself being denied the pleasure that she was craving.

"Consider this punishment for being selfish. Keep my gift for the rest of the time that you spend with the band." He told her. With his words, her clothes covered her again.

"But…" She pouted with dissatisfaction.

"Tomorrow. We have our date, right?" Alex appeased her. He brought his hand to her crotch and cupped her pussy, "Until then, enjoy the feel of my gift…"

"You're so mean…" She pouted.

Dropping Gwen close to the meeting location, Alex merged back into her body and Gwen was left standing alone, the only trace of their previous activities being the fluid that was threatening to drip from her pussy, and the plug that was stuck in her ass.

Gwen took a deep breath to calm her nerves before pulling out her phone and calling MJ.

"MJ?" She said after her call was answered.

"Gwen? Are you here?" MJ asked.

"Yeah. I'm at the address that you gave me." Gwen said while looking the apartment building up and down.

"Stay there, I'll be just down," MJ said and hung up. Gwen put her phone back into her bag with a shrug.

A few minutes later, MJ stepped out of the building and waved at Gwen, "Hi!" She smiled as they lightly hugged before parting.

"We'll be doing practice in a condo?" Gwen asked, pointing at the building.

"Yeah, we're prepared. The room's completely soundproof, we made some money off of our gigs and decided on investing in a dedicated practice area." MJ explained to Gwen as they walked into the building.

"Cool," Gwen was impressed by their success.

"Yeah…" MJ trailed off.

'This is fucking awkward…' Both of them thought at the same time.

'What happens next? Their periods sync up?' Alex thought as he could decipher their similar thoughts from just their expressions.

Gwen followed MJ in awkward silence as they finally reached the apartment on the 7th story. MJ walked in and said, "Guys. Look who's here!" MJ said.

"Hi, Gwen…" "Hello…" Both Glory and Betty greeted Gwen. They were the other two members of the band.

"Hi, guys. I'm glad to be back." Gwen smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, before I die of awkwardness, I'm going to get some beer. Then we can get to practice." MJ said and escaped.

"God, yes, please! I'll come to help." Gwen was the first to jump on it and follow Gwen. She was already feeling suffocated by the atmosphere with the other two girls.

"Here." MJ handed Gwen two six-packs and grabbed a bottle each of cheap whiskey and vodka, "It'll take a while before they both warm up to you, you know that, right? It's a bit awkward for us to just have you come back." MJ explained.

"I understand, don't worry. I was the one who bailed on you guys right before the concert. Though I'm very happy to be back." Gwen said and MJ nodded, acknowledging her words.

They walked back and MJ did her best to smoothen things out so that things won't be too awkward. After handing everyone a shot of neat whiskey, she said, "A toast. To our reunion." MJ didn't say many words and they all said, "Cheers." While clinking their shot glasses and downing them.

"Let's do an initial run. I hope you haven't gotten rusty, Gwen," Betty suggested after putting down the glass.

"Bring it, Betty." Gwen was up for the challenge.

Soon Gwen was sitting at the drums, Betty had her bass guitar in hand, Glory was sitting at the keyboard and MJ had her own guitar in hand while she stood in front of the mic.

"Let's do an old one girls… Here's to Face it, Tiger." With that, MJ initiated the initial beats. As MJ started, Betty and Glory followed with perfect synergy.

Gwen's initial beats were a little messed up for now but she was getting to it.

~There's no use crying over pinpricks~ MJ started the vocals and Gwen seemed to be matching the beat of the other girls.

~Don't fight the name if the name fits~ The second line had Gwen in even better sync with the girls.

By the time the verse ended, Gwen was also working in perfect synergy with the other girls.

~You've gotta face it, tiger, face it, tiger. You hit the jackpot! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)~

Slowly everything seemed to be fine. Gwen was still her old teenage high school self who hadn't killed her best friend with her own two hands. MJ was still as close to her as she used to be in high school. Everything seemed to have regressed to a time when everything was fine.

To all the girls, all that was there was the present and the music that they were making. They were all free from the burdens of real life and all they wanted to do was to keep going as long as they could.

Even as the song's final verse ended, MJ started singing the chorus again and the girls perfectly matched her lead.

They sang that single 2-minute song for a full 10 minutes before finally stopping.

And just as MJ finished, she dropped to the ground and sat with her hands supporting her body. She was dead tired, it was the same with Betty who'd been playing the bass. Though Glory was on the keyboard and was seated, she was also pretty wound up and was huffing.

The only one who seemed to be fine was Gwen, but the other girls were too tired to realize that.

"This… was… amazing…" MJ said with a smile on her face as she spoke while taking deep breaths, making her chest heave up and down.

"The band's back, baby!" Glory shouted out while pumping her fist in the air after she recovered. And both MJ and Betty followed after her.

Gwen, meanwhile was a little lost in the current rush that she was feeling, "You okay, Gwen?" Betty asked as she saw her absent expression, "Did she break?" Glory asked.

"Huh? No, I'm fine… Just a little overwhelmed…" Gwen smiled a slightly melancholic smile as she felt herself tearing up, "I've missed this…" She said.

"See what you were missing out on?" MJ smirked and said, "You regret it yet?" She said in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere.

"I don't know. But I definitely want to do more of this…" Gwen said, "Another song?" She asked excitedly.

"Damn, girl. How much stamina do you have? Give us some time to rest…" Betty commented as she was still tired from holding the bass for so long.

The song practice continued well into the night as the girls took multiple breaks to drink and eat snacks. By the time it was midnight, they were thoroughly drunk and were most likely going to wake up the next day with a horrible headache. Gwen was especially drunk since Alex helped her suppress her metabolism for that specific thing and let the alcohol impair her brain. She deserved to have some fun.

The girls weren't blackout drunk yet, but they were pretty damn close. And being that drunk came with a pretty heavy loss of inhibitions.

That was the origin of the current scene. The girls were doing a competition to see who was the person with the most sensitive breasts.

Gwen had already won a few rounds and all three girls were wearing nothing but their underwear while she was fully clothed.

Gwen and Betty were grabbing each other's breasts over their clothes and trying to stimulate the other while trying to make the other moan. The one who moaned first would lose.

"Holy shit, Gwen… you're kinky…" Betty had decided to tease her nipples and felt something hard and metallic, "You got piercings there?" She smiled.

"Come on, Betty, this is cheating…" Gwen grumbled as she felt Betty grab her nipple and lightly twist it, she'd hoped that her piercings would go unnoticed as they had been for the night. Gwen only barely prevented herself from moaning out and decided to take revenge.

She grabbed both of Betty's nipples between her thumb and index finger before lightly rubbing her thumb over the sensitive nubs, teasing her with what was to come before she pinched her nipples. Betty held her breath in preparation for the twist that was about to come, but it never came. Instead, Gwen loosened her pinch and kept lightly teasing her nubs. Just as Betty let her breath free, losing the tension from her body, Gwen pinched her nipples again and twisted them this time.

"Ahn~" Betty's entire body shook as with her breath, a moan came out, "You cheated!" Betty was angry as she tightened her hold over Gwen's nipples and twisted them again, this time using the piercing as leverage to twist her nub.

Gwen couldn't hold back the moan that escaped her mouth due to the high stimulation. But she'd already won, "It's not cheating, it's technique." Gwen smirked victoriously, "Off comes the bra." She said and Betty reluctantly took off her bra, revealing her light chocolaty tits and slightly darker shade of pink nubs.

"Who's next!" Gwen said confidently.

"I'm up!" It was MJ, "I wanna see your piercings." She said.

"Win and you might just see them," Gwen smirked at the leverage that she just had.

"Double?" MJ asked.

"You don't have much left to take off," Gwen said.

"Your shirt and bra for all my underwear." MJ bargained.

"I'm in." Gwen agreed and with lightning-quick reflexes, grabbed MJ's breasts and started mauling them to her heart's content.

"You're gonna need more if you want to win again," MJ smirked confidently, giving Gwen an ominous premonition.

A few minutes later, "Mhnn~" Gwen lost.

"You cheated!" She shouted.

"It's not cheating, it's technique." MJ threw her own words back at Gwen, "And it's your fault for providing me with such amazing tools." She smirked. It proved that MJ had just needed some motivation to win.

"My win streak…" Gwen was sad as she reluctantly took off her shirt and unhooked her bra.

"Holy shit, is that real gold?" MJ asked as she looked at Gwen's piercing. It was her usual regal piercing that had a circular disk covering her areola with a hole in its center for her nipple. A needle was going through her nipple that held the disk in place.

"No… It's fake." Gwen blushed as she felt MJ's finger trail over the piercing. Betty and Glory had also come up to them and were examining her piercing, "You're making me embarrassed…" Gwen said as she felt weird.

"Hey, you're the kinky chick with nipple piercings. And such a unique design too…" MJ teased Gwen as she cupped her naked breast and started playing.

The rest of the night went in a blur as the girls finished the competition. Although Gwen was in the lead for most of the time, the moment her bra came off, she had to endure loss after loss and was the first to lose the game, ending up fully naked. It was all because of the leverage that the girls got over her.

She was just glad that Alex was merciful enough to get rid of the butt plug that he'd put in her before she took off her underwear.

As the game was over, the girls all went to sleep in the living room after wearing some random nightwear from the closet. It was Betty's apartment and she lived alone so there weren't any issues.

***

The next morning, Gwen woke up, tangled up with both Betty and Glory.

[You seem to have had quite a bit of fun last night.] She heard Alex's amused voice in her head.

[Yeah… it was fun.] Gwen said nonchalantly.

[Especially the competition. You should do sleepovers like this with more of your friends.] Alex mentioned.

[Don't mention it…] Gwen said with a dark expression, [I begged you so many times to change up my piercings but you didn't… And I ended up losing because they leveraged them.] Gwen was sour.

[If I listened to you, I wouldn't have been able to experience your sexy moans through the night. You should be glad that I got rid of the plug at least.] Alex said.

[I guess… I wouldn't have been able to explain that to them…] Gwen somewhat agreed and at that point, she felt someone grab her breast, [Hey!] She instantly blamed Alex.

[It's not me!] He was being unfairly blamed.

Gwen looked down and saw that it was MJ whose hand was hanging from the couch and grabbing her breast, "Hey, wake up. Stop molesting me!" Gwen shook MJ awake as she pushed her hand away.

"Lemme sleep!" MJ was cranky as she flipped to the other side and covered her ears. She was dealing with a messy hangover.

"Whatever…" Gwen understood that her three friends weren't as lucky as her who got to wake up in perfect condition after a night of partying and drinking. She freed herself from the tangle of limbs that were Betty and Glory before standing up and going over to the kitchen. She wanted some water.

After everyone woke up, they spent some more time practicing for their performance the next day. Gwen gave worked extra hard knowing that she would be leaving by the time evening arrived for the date with Alex. She didn't have any delusions about being able to return for the night so she only had the current time to practice.

With the previous night's bonding experiences, the girls were working with very good synergy and only needed some practice and they would be able to perform very well.

"I have to go, MJ," Gwen told her as she looked at the time.

"Sure. How long will you be back in? We all could use a break." MJ agreed.

"Most likely tomorrow," Gwen said.

"What? But Gwen…" MJ trailed off.

"We've practiced enough. A single rehearsal before the show will be enough. You know that." Gwen said.

"I know. But it doesn't hurt to practice more…" MJ said, "Can't you cancel?" She begged.

"I'm sorry… I already committed to the plan two weeks ago. Canceling now is a bit of a dick move." Gwen said.

"What even is it that you can't postpone?" MJ asked, suddenly curious.

"That's not important. What's important is that I have to go." Gwen deflected.

"Oh, now I have to know. You can go if you want, but you have to tell me." MJ decided to make it a deal.

"Come on, MJ…" Gwen didn't want to say.

"Tell me…" She wasn't budging.

"It's a date…" She finally admitted.

"Ohhh… Who's the lucky guy? Someone, we might know?" MJ asked.

"Nah, I met him when I was… out rock climbing." Gwen made up a bad lie.

"Rock climbing you say?" MJ looked at Gwen with a face that said, 'Seriously?'

"Yeah. We hit it off and he asked me out. We've been on two dates till now…" Gwen started her web of lies.

"So that's why you said that you'll most likely be there till tomorrow." MJ had a realization.

"Yeah…" Gwen looked to the side.

"Fine. But I want the details. Every-single-thing." She emphasized.

"Yeah, yeah. I get it. Now can I leave? He's coming to pick me up in a couple of minutes."

"I'm coming with you. I wanna see him." MJ's inner gossip queen had come raging out.

"Fine, fine, whatever." Gwen agreed as she heaved a sigh of relief.

"Wait!" MJ stopped Gwen.

"What is it?" Gwen panicked.

"Are you going to go on a date in these clothes? You have to get a nice dress!" MJ said.

"Oh," Gwen was relieved, even though there wasn't anything for her to hide, "He's going to take me to my place first before I change up. It'll save time." Gwen told MJ.

"Are you sure?" MJ asked, "Positive." Gwen assured her.

"Well, you do you." MJ shrugged.

[I'm sorry, Alex…] Gwen apologized.

[For what? I'd love to be shown off to your friends as your loving boyfriend. Just don't mention my tendency of spontaneously turning into slime and we should be good.] Alex said.

[Perfect, you're amazing.] She was glad that he understood.

Betty and Glory were busy with some practice so only MJ followed Gwen down. It may have also been due to the fact that Gwen made MJ promise not to tell the other two. She didn't want the three of them flocking to her with their gossipy habits.

[I'll give MJ till 2 days. When you reach uni on Monday, you'll see that everyone who's relevant knows that you're dating a hunk of a dude that's really rich.] Alex said in Gwen's head.

[Alex, no!] Gwen panicked, she realized that Alex was going to be all showboaty about it.

[Come on, it'll be fun.] He said.

[Alex, please…] Gwen had to resort to begging him. She didn't want MJ to start telling people that she was a gold digger.

[You really have a low opinion of MJ, don't you?] Alex said.

[You have no idea. We are friends but she's a bitch when she'd jealous. And you can bet that she's going to be jealous if she realizes that I'm dating a loaded guy.] Gwen explained.

[Fine, I'll be a bit subtle.] Alex agreed with her request.

Soon, a black Mustang turned a corner and slowly stopped at the side of the road, right in front of MJ and Gwen. Alex walked out of the car wearing a polo with a blazer and some jeans. His hair was messy and his green eyes were striking.

"How are you, Gwen?" He smiled at her and stood in front of her. Gwen extended her hand up and let him hold it, "Do you have to?" She looked helpless on the surface but the excited gleam in her eyes told Alex that she was very satisfied with his actions. He held her hand gently and kissed her knuckles lightly before gesturing to MJ, "Is this your friend?" He asked.

"She's MJ," Gwen mentioned and MJ waved at him in greeting and he gave her a perfunctory greeting in reply.

"Shall we?" Alex didn't dwell on MJ and asked Gwen.

"We shall…" Gwen said with a light giggle as he led her to the car before opening the door for her and helping her sit.

"Bye, MJ…" Gwen waved at MJ from her seat, "Enjoy…" MJ waved back. And with that, Alex sat in his seat and drove off.

"Really, Alex? A Boss 429 Mustang?" Gwen asked angrily.

"What? Just because you're a car geek doesn't mean MJ is too, is she?" Alex asked.

"No… Fine. And I'm a car enthusiast, not a geek." She clarified, "Where did you even get this car? It's not even in circulation… What is this a '70?" Gwen asked as she admired the interior of the car.

"'69. I got it off of this guy I ran into one day. He was walking his dog. John was his name, I think…" Alex said.

"You stole his car?" Gwen's eyes widened.

"What? No! Why do you have to always think so negatively about me? His wife was on her deathbed. I offered to heal her in exchange for a month with the car. He agreed and I healed his wife. End of story." Alex said with offense in his tone, "PS… Amazing dude. We ended up talking over a couple of beers and he told me about his whole ass hitman career and how he got out of the game with a bang. Fucking badass…" He said with almost an admiration in his tone.

"When did you get so… How should I put it… less homicidal?" Gwen asked with utter disbelief.

"Do you think so little of me? I'm wounded…" Alex acted dramatically with his hand on his chest as he leaned back.

"That's because this isn't in character for you." Gwen said, "We're a dysfunctional couple. You're a controlling maniac and I'm the dumbfuck who's in love with you to the point where I ignore all of your faults. That's how we work…"

"You know all that?" Alex was surprised at how deep Gwen's analysis went.

"Of course, I know that. You think I didn't notice all your unhealthy controlling tendencies. We work because the sex is so amazing and makes me forget about everything when you take control. That's a huge reason. That and the fact that I owe a whole lot to you." Gwen continued nonchalantly.

"Fuck…" Alex commented as he was too stunned to say anything for a few seconds. "You know all this?"

"Mhm." Gwen nodded nonchalantly.

"And you're still not trying to run away from me?" He asked in disbelief.

"I mean, could I really? Could I run away from you? You don't even seem to have Venom's general weakness against heat and sound. So I might as well enjoy my life as it is." Gwen shrugged nonchalantly as if this wasn't a big deal.

'She already connected me with Venom…' Alex suddenly felt really weird, 'Nothing prompted this outburst…' He thought.

"What if I gave you a choice?" Alex asked.

"Hm?" Gwen perked her ears and looked at him.

"What if… I gave you a choice. A choice to get rid of me. Forever." Alex asked her in a solemn tone. He was completely serious about it.

He wanted to know her answer. He wasn't going to let her go, but he wanted an answer from her.

"I'd choose you ten out of ten times, Alex." Gwen looked at him with a devious smile, "I've been listing on your faults so much that you forgot how much my life's changed since you got here. The sex is just… god, so amazing. But even that's not the main reason. In your own twisted way… you do care about me." Gwen said.

"How even…" Alex was speechless, 'She probably has some delusions…' He concluded with confusion.

"I can tell, trust me. You seem to be making yourself believe that I'm no more than some means to an end for you, but you care. At least on a subconscious level. Not to mention your constant push for me to better myself. Sure, it might have a selfish motive, but we're all selfish people, Alex." Gwen said as she looked at Alex's disbelief with glee. She had just dropped a huge bomb on him and knew the repercussions of that bomb.

"I never knew that you were so…" He was thinking of a word.

"Observant? Not-a-dumb-bimbo?" Gwen offered the options to him on a silver platter.

"Yeah. Observant. Let's go with that," Alex nodded. "How you realized so much is both understandable and baffling to me. I wasn't really subtle in conveying my intentions to you so it makes sense that you noticed… I guess I was expecting you to be more… dumb bimbo, I guess." He said.

"I'm offended." She said playfully.

"You shouldn't be… I think." Alex fell off his game, "You still wanna go on the date?" Alex didn't know what to think of the current mood. He'd been driving around the block for a while now and they weren't getting anywhere at this rate.

"Definitely!" Gwen said earnestly, "Alex, I told you all this because I wanted you to know that I understand your intentions even if you yourself don't. You care about me. Period. And in all honesty, I am pretty damn dependent on you. If you disappeared tomorrow, I would probably break down in depression. Knowing about something can't magically change my feelings." Gwen said earnestly.

"Despite knowing this, Alex, I genuinely consider you as my life partner. So, yes. I would love to go out tonight. And every night that you want to take me out. Hell, every once in a while, I would like to be the one taking you out to mix things up. That's how a relationship works, Alex… I love you. Truly and from the bottom of my heart, you're very important to me" Gwen told him before taking a deep breath due to her agitated emotions as she spoke.

"Damn, girl… All this just to admit that you're in love with my dumb ass…" Alex turned to look at Gwen.

"What can I say? I'm a hopeless romantic. I want to spend my life with the guy/slime who took my virginity." Gwen said cheekily as she leaned closer to him.

"Fucking hell, Gwen…" Alex said with a throaty voice and shook his head. He couldn't help but grab Gwen's nape as thick black tentacles extended out of his body and wrapped around her limbs and waist. (A/N: No, that's not it, you degenerates!)

He forcefully pulled her into his lap while he kept driving. Gwen wrapped her arms around his neck as the tentacles disappeared and he pulled her in for a heated and passionate kiss. They made out as Alex was driving, Gwen's back was toward the driver's door of the car and her legs were resting on the passenger seat. With her ass resting on his crotch and wiggling while looking for the most comfortable spot, neither Alex nor Gwen cared about anything else as he drove recklessly through the crowded roads of Manhattan.

All it took was a bit of Chaos magic and everything was suddenly okay. Alex could even drive into cars and nothing would happen. His car just went through as if the other cars on the road were intangible. Although it seemed complicated, Alex had just brought his car into a separate plane of existence from the base material world.

'I love Chaos magic…' Alex thought as he saw its amazing applications. He would never have been able to do something like this without having the extra power-up that he had after Wanda pumped his soul full of chaos energy and he increased the level of the bond with her.

Alex and Gwen both passionately made out while she ground her toned and perky bubble butt on his crotch, teasing his hardening shaft. He had one hand on the wheel and his other hand was lightly exploring Gwen's body as he gently caressed her waist and slowly and teasingly made his way up to her tits.

After a while of this teasing and foreplay, both Gwen and Alex were pretty pent up, but neither made a move to take things further. Gwen could easily feel his hard shaft pressing against her stomach even though it was covered by his pants, but she made no move to pull it out, [Consider this revenge for leaving me hanging yesterday.] She said with a vindictive tone as she didn't bother separating her lips from Alex's.

[You don't seem to be doing well yourself either…] Alex could feel Gwen's arousal not only through his empathetic bond with her but also by the fact that his pants were wet due to all the juices that she was leaking.

She snorted mentally and doubled her efforts of grinding on his crotch. Alex's hands were still going at the same pace, gently teasing her with his light caresses here and there. He was in no hurry.

He had more than enough time to slowly enjoy his cute host who'd basically bared her heart out to him and let everything out. Hearing Gwen's straightforward words had lit a spark in Alex and that spark was only going to be quenched after he completely marked Gwen as his and his alone. He wanted to make her feel helpless as she could think nothing but his cock and how it feels. He wanted her begging for him to fuck her as he teased her slowly and torturously. And he was going to do all of that.

Soon, "We're here." He said, pulling away from her lips as a thin transparent trail of saliva was the only thing connecting their lips. Noticing it, Gwen pressed her lips against his again to make it disappear.

"Delicious…" She teased.

"You're treading in dangerous territories, honey…" Alex squeezed her butt to make his point, "I might just decide to skip the date and go straight to fucking." He stated.

"I'm counting on it…" Gwen purred and brought one of her hands behind her back. She opened the car door and slid out of Alex's lap and out of the car. She made an impossible maneuver as she landed on her feet after seemingly falling out of Alex's lap on her ass.

Alex's smile betrayed his interest in Gwen's different-from-usual actions and he got out of the car, locking it behind him, "Shall we?" He asked, offering her his arm.

"Let's…" She said as she crossed her arm with his and they walked, 'This is a fancy restaurant…Fuck!' Gwen suddenly realized that she forgot to ask Alex to change her into a classy dress.

Just as she turned to say it to him, she saw Alex's deep and amused smile, "Black suits you." He said while checking her out.

Gwen was confused for a moment before looking down and realizing that he'd changed her clothes, she was now wearing a figure-hugging black dress that accentuated her curves perfectly. It left her shoulders bare while the dress had two straps extending over her arms just below her shoulders to hold it in place. It went down to the middle of her thighs before it ended, leaving her milky thighs and legs completely bare. Lastly, she was wearing strappy high heels that had thin straps wrapping around her ankles that went up to her calves.

"Thanks, Alex. I love this dress…" Gwen said as she moved ever so slightly closer to him as she held his arm and walked to the elevator. "Only the best for my girl," Alex smiled while glancing at her faintly. She was looking absolutely stunning in this dress and Alex kept feeling like he was getting drawn to look at her.

"I didn't pay attention, but where are we?" Gwen asked. They were waiting for the elevator to come down to the parking lot.

"Atera." Alex turned to look at her.

"I haven't heard of this place, is it good?" Gwen asked. She wasn't much of a foodie and didn't really explore anything food related beyond her neighborhood food joints.

"It's got pretty good reviews, even got two Michelin stars to its name." He told her.

"This place is that fancy?" Gwen turned to look at him wide-eyed, "Yep." Alex smiled as he enjoyed her expression.

"Isn't this too expensive?" Gwen asked, suddenly feeling self-conscious.

"It's perfectly fine. Cindy's got nigh endless money and I decided to spend some of it on the one person who deserves all of my love on this Earth." He said, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her close.

Gwen felt all the rising tension slip away with his words and looked at him with what could only be amounted to a lovestruck expression. Alex looked deep into her eyes as he relished in the expression that Gwen was looking at him. He slowly leaned closer to Gwen and their lips were just centimeters apart.

*Ding*

They were about to start making out again but the ding of the elevator interrupted them, prompting them both to turn to the opening doors of the elevator with slightly annoyed looks. There were 5 people in the elevator who were subjected to the scary looks that both Gwen and Alex were giving them. All of them seemed to look at each other for a split second before they turned to look at the duo again and walked out in silence. They all seemed to have an implicit understanding that they weren't going to say anything and reduce their presence as much as possible while scurrying away.

Alex decided to make the best of the situation and stuck his foot in between the closing doors of the elevator before looking at Gwen, "Milady…" He offered his hand.

Gwen got the message and grabbed his hand with a proud attitude-filled expression on her face as she walked with slow steps into the elevator.

Though the moment the doors of the elevator closed, that expression broke down and a smirk replaced it. She wrapped her arms around Alex's neck and pushed him against the wall of the elevator before pressing her lips against his.

They both fiercely made out as Alex's hands roamed Gwen's body and he enjoyed her aggressive actions. He also took the opportunity to use his cyberspace manipulation on the elevator's circuitry so that it would both take longer to reach their destination which was tens of floors up and not stop for anyone else.

He enjoyed her curvy body as his actions slowly got more and more aggressive. He first pushed back against her tongue that was in his mouth and they started playing a game to 'win' the kiss that Alex was doubtlessly winning. He started taking more control as he started walking, such that Gwen's back was against the wall, and brought his hands to Gwen's thighs before giving them a tight squeeze. Gwen got the message and wrapped her legs around his torso. That was when Alex pushed her against the red velvety wall of the elevator and took control, allowing Gwen to bask in his presence and feeling of his hands trailing across her body.

*Ding*

Even though Alex had slowed down the elevator's ascent, there was only so much time that he and Gwen could hog the elevator. After a couple of minutes, they reached the restaurant floor and the doors opened. Alex had already helped Gwen fix her dress and push it back down so that her lacy panties weren't visible to the populous. It had risen up after she'd wrapped her legs around Alex.

"This is fun…" Gwen commented as she walked out of the elevator, she was holding Alex's hand as she looked around at the ambiance of the place. "I'm glad you like it," Alex said as she enjoyed the view of Gwen's face instead.

"Table for two. I have a reservation. Alex" He told the receptionist, "Just a moment, sir." She replied with a trained flirty smile before looking to the register.

"Mr. Alex Hunt?" She confirmed. "Yes." He agreed.

[Hunt?] This was the first time Gwen had heard Alex's full name.

[Yeah. I'm a hunter. I hunt hot and sexy women and make them completely dependent on me while giving them endless pleasure while also strengthening them.] He told her.

Gwen suppressed her urge to roll her eyes as she saw a waiter arriving who guided them both to their seat. Alex had decided on a window seat with a mesmerizing view of the New York skyline.

"So beautiful…" Gwen whispered as she looked at the shining lights all over. "You see this view every day…" Alex reminded Gwen.

"Swinging's different…" Gwen shrugged before looking at Alex. He pulled back the chair for her, "Please," He gestured for her to sit on the seat.

"Thank you," Gwen sat on the chair and he pushed it slightly ahead to allow her to sit better. Then he took his seat in front of her.

Just as they took their seats, a sommelier arrived and said, "Some wine, sir?" He asked, showing a sealed bottle of expensive wine.

"Sure." Alex nodded. The sommelier poured the wine for him and for Gwen before leaving the bottle now opened on the table. "How is it?" He asked as Gwen took a sip.

"It's good… " Gwen nodded before looking at him, "What about you?" She asked.

"It's wine. I'm not someone who can appreciate wine. Now scotch whiskey, that's stuff that I can appreciate." He said.

"Were you like some sort of bro in your previous life?" Gwen asked with amusement.

"Maybe I was…" Alex smiled, "If I can get some good scotch, all I'll be missing is a cigar to look like a pretentious douche." He said.

"You like cigars?" Gwen asked with a sparkle in her eyes. "Yeah, at least once in a while." Alex shrugged.

"I've always wanted to try one, I've never known what it's like." She said with an anticipatory tone.

"It's bad for your lungs, that's what it's like," Alex stated.

Before Gwen could say anything in response, the waiter that led them to this table came back with the menus in hand.

After the duo gave their respective orders, they got back to their chat, "Come on, please. Can't you bring me to get cigars?" Gwen asked while making puppy eyes at him.

"Fine fine. You can share one with me. I'm pretty sure that you won't even be able to manage more than a couple of puffs," Alex said. Gwen suddenly brought out her inner Anikin and said, "You dare underestimate my power?"

"Admit it, Gwen. I have the high ground." Alex's smile widened and he said, "Original or Preqel?" Alex asked her with the most serious tone imaginable.

"I like the Prequels. They're the ones I saw first…" Gwen and Alex got into a discussion as they waited for their food. Every once in a while, Gwen's face would turn to the right, admiring the view from her seat.

After their food was served, they both dug in.

"Hey, Alex…" Gwen called him as she ate a croissante. "Hm?" He looked at her. "Why French?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" He asked. "I mean, why did you pick a French restaurant? I know for a fact that you prefer spicy foods." She said.

"Just cause… I know you like French food. Plus practically all Michelin-starred restaurants serve European cuisine as the primary food." He said nonchalantly.

"What? Isn't this a worldwide generalized system that equally judges all restaurants? Why would they prioritize European cuisine, which is generally known to be pretty bland?" She asked curiously.

"I'll tell you a fun little fact about this system," Alex said to her with an excited tone, "The company that assigns these stars to restaurants is based in France. And the country with the highest number of these stars is also France. You see where I'm going with this?" Alex asked.

"It's a skewed system. It's understandable. But that doesn't mean that they only promote French cuisine. I know for a fact that Japan is the country with the second-highest number of stars." Gwen countered.

"That's the funniest part. Out of all of Japan's unprecedentedly rich Japanese cuisine, most of the Michelin-starred restaurants there serve European cuisine. The company says that their judging criteria are all the same, but the thing is that the criteria are based on their palettes. And their tasteless palettes aren't suited for Mexican or Japanese or Indian cuisines." Alex said.

"Huh…" Gwen went into thought as she heard his words, "Damn. I never realized."

"The more you—"

*Boom*

There was the sound of an explosion and Gwen's head instantly snapped to the side as she instinctively said, "I have to go." Before getting up. Or at least trying to get up and failing miserably. She was stuck in her seat. "Alex!" She whispered with anger evident in her tone.

"Just sit and enjoy the meal. I'll take care of it." Alex told her, knowing that she wouldn't be able to sit right if she didn't help out. And just to prove his point, a blurry black silhouette of Ghost Spider was seen swinging toward the scene of the crime.

"Why am I black?" Gwen asked, "And since when have I been black?" Gwen asked him.

"That's racist," Alex commented as Gwen just looked at him with an unamused expression.

"You've been wearing the black suit ever since I decided to temporarily take over your job of being the protector of NYC," Alex said, "I think that the black with red tints on your suit seems to be pretty nice. There should be some change since I've bonded with you…"

Gwen narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "You're hiding something… You've always been subtle and hiding your identity, hell, even your existence isn't known to anyone but me. Even Cindy only thinks that you're a mutant with some unique powers. You're confident… Too confident… What's the deal?" Gwen had noticed.

"Busted…" Alex smirked, "I am confident. I'm confident that no one in the world can do shit to me… To some extent." He said.

"Wasn't that always the case?" She asked, "I thought that you weren't affected by the general symbiote weakness, namely heat, and sound." Gwen said.

"I used to be… I was just really good at hiding it," Alex shrugged, "But now, I'm practically immune to it." He told her.

There was another source of Alex's confidence. His current stats and skills.

«Owned Skills: ‹Peak Superhuman Grade Physique Creation (220->700 Tons)› ‹True 6th Sense› ‹Advanced Lightning Manipulation› ‹Basic Blood Manipulation› ‹High Magic Affinity› ‹Host of the Scarlet Witch› ‹Intermediate Chaos Affinity› ‹Biological Manipulation› ‹Inventory› ‹Advanced Camouflage› ‹Host Enhancement› ‹Devour› ‹Copy›»

After bonding with Jane, he'd understood quite a few aspects of Asgardian physiology and was able to incorporate them into his own physique creation ability. Not to mention his Lightning Manipulation that had advanced to the Advanced level along with his increased affinity with Magic in general. Jane was a full package of multiple abilities for him.

'Sadly, Jane isn't a natural-born Asgardian, otherwise, I would've probably been able to upgrade it to Cosmic grade in one go…' Alex thought. He'd also received Intermediate Chaos affinity after Wanda flooded his soul with her Chaos energy. That affinity allowed him to finally better his Camouflage ability by augmenting it with Chaos energy. It was far better than the unreasonably expensive ‹Camouflage II› ability that would cost him a large amount of EP. Instead, he skipped quite a few steps by using Chaos energy in tandem with Camouflage.

‹Advanced Camouflage›:: Augmenting the symbiote's natural camouflaging with Chaos energy allows the symbiote to coat its skin with chaos energy and make people subconsciously ignore the presence of the user. This makes the user impossible to detect under any circumstances. Can be seen through if higher-grade energy (such as Cosmic Energy) is used.

All of this had made him pretty confident in his abilities.

Especially the unprecedentedly overpowered application of lightning that he'd received after going from Intermediate to Advanced in lightning manipulation.

‹Advanced Lightning Manipulation›:: Allows nigh-perfect control over lightning. A new ability ‹Synapse Collapse› can now be used.

‹Synapse Collapse›:: The ability to manipulate the electrical impulses in the brain and cause instant brain death. Cooldown: 24 hrs

Alex had been trying to develop fine control over lightning for this exact ability. He wanted to be able to kill a person just by looking at them, and the ‹Synapse Collapse› ability was exactly what he wanted. Even though it required him to be able to directly touch someone to use the ability, it was overpowered nonetheless.

There was also the added bonus of completely removing any cooldown from ‹Atmospheric Burst›. He could now call down lightning from the atmosphere for as long as he wanted to enhance himself and his host or to attack people.

"…And, it's done," Alex told Gwen as the situation calmed down again. "What happened?" She asked, curious,

"Sandwoman… It baffles me how easily these people escape from prison. It's like every two to three days there's a dude escaping prison to cause problems. What a pain in the ass…" Alex complained.

"Actually, there's a fun little tidbit about this phenomenon. I think it was Hobie that told me bout this." Gwen said. "Who?" Alex asked, seeming confused. "Another Spider-Man. He's from a fascist punk rock reality. Cool guy…" Gwen told him.

"He told me that this is a cosmic causality thing. The fact that someone strong exists to protect people, makes it that the universe births people to contend against that person. It's literally a natural thing." Gwen told Alex.

"Strength invites challenge, leading to catastrophe, huh…" Alex said with a smile on his face as he thought about Vision's words from the time when the Avengers were discussing the accords.

"Exactly…" Gwen agreed. "Then why fight at all?" Alex asked.

"I can't help myself… I see something bad happening, I just have to stop it. That's just who I am…" Gwen stated, "And I'm too far deep into it now. I can't just completely give up on being Spider-Woman and get a normal job. I know at least 4 instances that you've prevented my father from being kidnapped again." Gwen told him.

"7 actually." Alex told her, "Someone's targetting you in a very desperate manner. Though it doesn't matter, they seem to be able to at best call people with minor enhancements and powers. None of the heavyweights like the X-Men or Avengers." Alex said. He knew what was going on, but he was just letting things progress naturally. At this point, Gwen's little enemy in the shadows was very inconsequential to Alex.

"Forget it. Let's not talk about this stuff on our date. Should we order dessert?" Gwen asked Alex, "Then we can go get some tacos. I'm craving something spicy… Or maybe curry…" Gwen thought out loud.

Alex called the waiter and just as he was ordering the dessert, he felt something sliding into his leg. He looked at her and saw Gwen's mischievous smile for a moment before it was replaced by a serious face as she ordered dessert.

Though her serious expression wouldn't last for long, 'Two can play at this…' Alex inwardly smirked and utilized his greatest advantage over Gwen— The fact that he had full control over her dress.

"—Creme…" Gwen took a deep breath as she felt her breasts being teased along with her pussy, "…Brulee. That's all." She cut short her order after three desserts, [Alex you cheater!] She screamed at him while squirming in her seat as she felt her sensitive pierced nubs being rubbed and teased under her dress while her folds felt like they were being licked.

Alex smirked at Gwen before calling back the waiter and adding four more desserts to their order. He knew Gwen liked her sweets.

"Happy?" He asked as the waiter left.

"I'll be happy after you stop…" She said with gritted teeth as she held back a moan.

"Impossible. Maybe after a public climax to make you more… sensitive for the night." He smirked.

"Please…" His words embarrassed Gwen while at the same time making her aroused at the thought of forcefully being made to cum in front of so many people.

"I can feel your growing arousal. I guess you don't just wear that tight costume because it provides you good mobility, huh?" He teased her.

"No…" She denied.

"You're lying… You deserve punishment…" Alex had a dark smirk.

"Please… No…" She took deep breaths to calm herself but it wasn't working and only served to make her breasts heave up and down, serving as amazing eye candy for Alex.

He couldn't resist the thought and executed it. Soon, Gwen felt a phallic appendage pushing on her slit, "Alex!" She whispered with panic as she held herself back.

"What is it?" He feigned ignorance and the phallus kept invading her folds while her body was being teased by her dress.

"Please stop…" She begged. "Your tightness begs to differ, Gwen. You have a vice-like grip around my girth that makes it impossible for me to do anything but push further in." He said as the phallus pushed further into her snatch.

Finally, she was filled by the invader and was writhing on her chair in the pleasure that she was receiving due to the mixed dose of pleasure that Alex was giving her. Her actions were so obvious that someone halfway across the room would've noticed it. Thankfully, Alex was already using ‹Cdvanced Camouflage› to make people ignore the two of them. The ability went far beyond the realm of normality after Alex incorporated Chaos magic into it.

Soon, the waiter arrived, and just as he was serving the dishes, Alex pushed Gwen off the edge, making her lose it as she arched herself on the chair and shivered as she let out a barely suppressed moan. Alex had timed things perfectly.

'It's good that I have Chaos magic…' Alex thought with amused hypocrisy as he made sure no one realized Gwen's state.

Even the waiter was ignorant of the unbelievably erotic scene. Though just as Gwen slumped on the chair, she saw the waiter place the desserts on the table and widened her eyes to the limit while looking at Alex.

[I hate you…] She felt herself tearing up at the horrible embarrassment that she was just forced to endure. [Don't be a baby. Just because I like teasing and messing with you in public every once in a while doesn't mean I will ever lose my possessiveness over you. You're mine. And there's no way anyone in the world can even stay alive after seeing this kind of scene. That dress is shrouded with a much stronger version of my camouflaging ability. You are unnoticeable to people. Didn't you realize it? You're wearing such amazing and revealing clothes but not a single person was gawking at you. That's because they didn't even realize your presence.] Alex consoled her after realizing that he'd pushed her a bit far.

[Truly?] She was feeling stuffy inside. Alex brought his hand to the back of her neck, grabbing her nape before bringing her close. She got a little embarrassed at his stare and looked to the side, "Look at me." He told her with a hard voice and she made eye contact with him.

"Your embarrassing expressions and actions are only for me and me alone. No one else. And if someone did end up seeing you, I would gouge their eyes out before murdering them." He whispered.

"You shouldn't kill people…" Gwen was blushing for a whole different reason now and changed the topic.

"Eat up. We have a lot of stuff to do." Alex said with an evil chuckle that sent shivers down Gwen's spine.

***

After they were done with dinner, they left for their next destination, tacos.

"I think it's near here…" Alex said absently as his hand gently stroked Gwen's bare thigh making her feel tingly and happy, comforted by his touch. "What?" Gwen had forgotten.

"The taco cart… The guy sells amazing tacos." He said.

"Oh, I know which one you're talking about. He's in the next block, go straight." She said.

"If you say so." Alex was skeptical.

"Is that skepticism that I hear?" Gwen asked with an offended tone.

"What? No…" Alex lied.

"Wanna bet?" Gwen had a smirk on her face.

"Nah, you seem too confident. I'll give in," Alex didn't bite the bait. "Babe~ Come onn…" She tried to convince him with puppy dog eyes.

"Fine, what do you want?" Alex couldn't resist and ended up agreeing to bet knowing that he was going to lose. The cart was already in his vision.

"24 hours. I want you to listen to my whims. Like my personal butler." Gwen stated her demand. "Fine…" Alex didn't really mind pampering Gwen while pretending to be her butler.

"But if we're going to role-play we're going to do it right. I'll be a butler who has some leverage over you. Who, although listens to your whims at all times, also fucks you roughly and in a torturous manner." Alex added his requirement.

"You're up." Gwen agreed all too quickly, making Alex smirk as his hand that was stroking her thigh made its way higher. "No…" Gwen put her hand over his to stop him. But it was a powerless resistance.

"Alex…" She looked at him expectantly with the expression of a damsel in distress as she felt his hand drawing closer and closer to her core. She felt her heartbeat rise in anticipation of his next action as she both wanted him to keep going while also wanting him to stop.

"We're here, I guess you win, babe," Alex said before pulling his hand away from her thighs, leaving Gwen hanging. "You damn tease…" Gwen cursed before attacking him like a feral kitten. She punched his arm again and again with a pout on her face as he rolled down the window and called the guy, ignoring her.

"Lovers' spat?" The taco guy asked as he looked at Gwen hitting Alex with punches that were equivalent to a child throwing a tantrum. "Nah, she's just hungry. Can I get two tacos?" Alex said. "Coming right up." With that, Alex rolled up the window again.

Alex grabbed both of Gwen's clenched fists that were about to hit his shoulder again and looked at her with a smile, "Where do you want to go after this? Home? Movie? Or a long drive?" He asked her.

"Humph…" She looked away, "Long drive…" She said in a small voice. "As milady wishes." Alex kissed Gwen's cheek and let go of her fists. The tacos were already ready and Alex accepted them before giving the guy a big tip.

He drove off after handing Gwen both tacos. "Could you feed me, babe?" He asked. "Aren't you supposed to be my butler?" She grumbled but still brought the taco in front of Alex's face to let him take a bite.

"Let's do that after the date, butlers don't take their employer on romantic dates," Alex said. "Fine by me. But I want my butler who listens to my whims completely." She said.

"When you wake up tomorrow, you'll find the most competent butler that you can imagine. For now, you can be my loving girlfriend," Alex promised while placing his hand back on her thigh as she fed him the taco while also eating it herself.

The next two hours were spent driving as Gwen played her playlist for Alex and they vibed together while singing. Alex was utterly glad that he'd found the cure for the inborn trauma of symbiotes using the Extremis formula. Otherwise, he would've wanted to kill himself as the speakers blasted I'm Gonna Be by The Proclaimers at full volume.

Soon they reached the spot that Alex had picked for them.

"I don't think I want to go inside that cabin…" Gwen said apprehensively, "It looks like the kind of place where a serial killer would bring their latest victim to dissect them…" Gwen said with a skeptical expression.

"Come on. You'll love it, trust me." Alex said exactly what a serial killer would before getting out of the car and opening her door for her, "Let's go." He offered her his hand.

"I'm trusting you with my life here, Alex…" Gwen said in a spooked tone as she looked around warily before grabbing Alex's hand and getting out of the car.

"It's fine. Your life is already in my hands." He said nonchalantly as he wrapped his arm around her waist and walked to the entrance with her.

Suddenly, Gwen felt a hand resting on her other shoulder and screamed in a high-pitched voice before jumping into Alex's arms, "Alex!" She buried her face into his neck.

Alex couldn't help but chuckle as he said, "It was one of my clones. It's so much fun to mess with you…"

She felt wronged as she heard his words and started punching his chest lightly while whispering, "I hate you." Though she made no move to change her position.

Alex walked with Gwen in tow and entered the cabin. Instantly, the atmosphere changed and the warm glow of fire greeted Gwen. The fireplace was already lit and everything was already prepared. As Gwen looked around while hugging Alex, she saw that it was an amazing place to spend away from all her life.

"Look up," Alex said and Gwen saw nothing but the stars in the sky. The cabin had no roof. "This looks so beautiful…" She said as she admired the beautiful night sky.

"Yeah, in the night it is, but in the morning… you'll curse the lack of the roof," Alex joked. It wasn't actually a roofless cabin, Alex had just camouflaged the roof. It wouldn't let any bugs or heat enter the cabin.

"You even prepared hot chocolate for me?" Gwen walked to the couch and slumped on it before grabbing the cup of hot chocolate and slurping it. "It's perfect..." She commented.

"Well, I'm glad you like it…" Alex smiled as he walked to her with a blanket in his hand. "Snuggles, yay!" Gwen cheered as she put the mug on the side and opened her arms invitingly.

Alex grabbed both her arms and pulled her out of the couch before taking a seat himself and pulling her onto his lap, "This is better." He smiled before giving a peck on Gwen's nose whose expression changed from dissatisfied to blushing in an instant and she pressed her ear against his chest, listening to his heartbeat. Alex meanwhile wrapped the blanket around both of them and the couch started reclining back so that they were both able to have a nice view of the night sky.

"Is that glass, or is nothing there?" Gwen asked, pointing to the ceiling before she sipped her hot chocolate.

"It's me. I camouflaged the roof. It would be horrible otherwise. We'd be swarmed with bugs" He said while stroking her hair. "You're so amazing, Alex…" Gwen commented as they both enjoyed some time of silence within each other's embrace. "I know." He smiled. "Will you come to my concert tomorrow?" She asked sleepily. "I'll be the one cheering the loudest." He told her.

"You're the best…" She fell asleep in the middle of her words. She'd been really tired and this was a nice change of pace for her.

'I didn't get to do her…' Alex thought, 'Guess, I'll have to form the level 3 bond later.' He decided. This was the main reason that he took her out after all. He wanted to make the day he formed the level 3 bond with her special. 'Maybe after her concert…' He thought.

He closed his eyes and slept with Gwen snuggled up against his chest.

In the morning, Gwen woke up in the same spot that she fell asleep in, with her boyfriend's arms wrapped around her waist as she rested her head on his chest.

"Alex… Babe, wake up." She woke him up. They were pretty far from the city and it would take a while for them to go back.

"Morning, babe…" Alex said in a deeper-than-usual voice. "We have to leave or we'll be late for the concert…" She said.

"Mhm… Sure, let's go." Alex agreed as he got up with her in his arms and walked to the bathroom. With each of his steps, more and more of the clothes wrapping around them disappeared. Reaching the shower area, both he and Gwen were completely naked. He turned on the shower and let the initial cold water blast him as he put Gwen on the ground behind him. A minute or so later Gwen joined him since the water was now warm enough. They both quickly showered together while Alex rubbed around Gwen's body. They didn't do anything more than slight teasing since they didn't have the time for sex.

They were in the car as Alex quickly drove Gwen back to the city.

"I'm sad…" Gwen pouted cutely.

"You'll get your butler babe. Don't worry. I'm postponing the post-date sex until after your concert since we don't have the time. Someone ended up falling asleep yesterday night after all." Alex said with a smile.

"I'm still sad." She said. Alex knew how to console her and wrapped his arm around her waist before pulling her to sit on his lap again. Her legs were on the other seat and her back was resting against the door. While driving, Alex used the hand that wasn't on the wheel to gently grab Gwen's chin and make her look into his eyes, neither of them said a word as their lips naturally met and they started making out.

This was how the next two hours went as Alex didn't separate from Gwen's lips for even a moment. Only when he'd reached the destination— Betty's apartment— did Alex free her now slightly swollen lips.

"Have fun. Look at the fan that's cheering the loudest, that's going to be me." He smiled as he told her.
