Marvel: I'm a Symbiote

Chapter 31 Civil War (2/5)

?"Hi!" He smiled charmingly at Jessica.

"Do I know you?" She asked with a weird expression. She felt like the expression that she was seeing on the unknown man's face shouldn't exist.

"No, but I know you, Ms. Jones. I'm Batman." He said the last two words in the harshest and heaviest voice possible for him.

"Ahem ahem…" He ended up coughing due to the bad attempt at trying the heavy voice for the first time.

Before Jessica had the time to quip with him about his weird bullshit, one of Tony's suits approached them and shot its repulsor blasts at both of them at the same time.

Alex had already reacted before the suit even shot, courtesy of his ‹Enhanced 6th Sense› and picked up Jessica in his arms before dodging the shot and using one of his new abilities.

He put Jessica down and jumped up at the suit, just as he was about to use his ability, an arm punched through the suit and damaged the connection of the arc reactor with the rest of the suit, scrapping it.

"Huh?" Alex was momentarily confused but then he saw Jessica giving him a dirty look as she dropped to the floor with the destroyed suit.

"I didn't need you to save me. I'm plenty strong myself." She gave him that line and moved back to the metal manipulator guy that she'd been fighting before.

"Feisty… I like her." Alex didn't care about Jessica anymore as he'd already left a part of himself on her. He would be bonding with her after the fights were over and everything was settled. He presumed that bonding with her would provide quite a nice boost to the physical stats of his ‹Superhuman Grade Physique Creation› ability, allowing him to create stronger physiques.

…

Alex stayed as far away as possible from people who were fatally dangerous to him. Like Blackbolt and Ghost Rider.

He was sure that if he gets blasted by one word from Blackbolt, all parts of his body in this world would get completely decommissioned for a long while with its effects probably extending to the bodies in the other versions of earth too.

And that was after getting some minor resistance against those forces.

He wasn't even going to mention Ghost Rider's hellfire that could literally burn his soul. He wouldn't even survive if he got hit by that fire.

Ghost Rider could literally burn the evil in him. And there was a lot of evil in him. Even right now, he was killing a couple of officials in Research Earth and Farm Earth to take over their offices.

Next up, he decided to interfere between Luke Cage and Iron Fist versus the mini Hulkbuster that Tony had brought out.

He turned invisible using ‹Camouflage› since that was the best way to avoid most of the conflict in this huge fucking moshpit.

'I thought that too soon…' Alex thought as he jumped back from three Iron Man suits that had attacked him.

By turning himself invisible, Alex had actually ended up painting a target on his back. Tony had a set of suits using infrared cameras monitoring the battle.

After seeing the Inhumans, and how they had such varied powers, he decided that he would take all precautions necessary.

"Well, good enough for a training session." He said as he created a springboard under his feet and used it to propel himself toward one of the suits. At the same time, he created a drill in both his hands to attack the suits.

He accurately jumped at a suit, but it grabbed his drill hands and quickly attacked him with the Unibeam blast directly from the arc reactor in the chest.

Alex had already moved himself to the side and avoided the blast, but he wasn't able to avoid it completely since the suit was grabbing his hand and it turned with him. He was left with a huge gash on his left side which regenerated momentarily.

'Note to self, don't throw yourself in front of an Iron Man suit. Sometimes the supersenses aren't enough.' This fight was going to help Alex find out his problems.

He wasn't a combatant. No matter how many skills and memories he'd got, this was the first true fight that he was experiencing. He didn't count that brawl with The Punisher and Kraven in Gwen-65's Earth since they were no more than humans with slight enhancements. Alex could literally overwhelm them with his physical strength.

As he dodged the attack of the first suit the two other suits' tiny shoulder-mounted shot missile darts at him.

He tanked the darts using his body and stabbed the suit that was trying to keep him in place after freeing one of his drill hands.

The suit was made with the intention of having high physical stats and was bulky, so his attack wasn't enough to completely destroy it. Alex then used his ‹Basic Lightning Manipulation› and electrocuted the suit. That made the suit freeze for an instant.

He used that instant to free his other hand that had been grabbed by the suit and made it into a sharp axe. Just as he was about to stab the suit though, another one came over and grabbed his hand that had been turned into an axe.

"Okay, this is just annoying." Alex used his full physical strength to pull that new suit close and headbutted the suit. He'd increased the mass of his head to a few tons so it was going to have quite a few effects.

And it did. That suit wasn't one with high physical stats and its head was flown straight off from Alex's headbutt.

He then finally was able to rip off the head of the bulky suit that he'd been grabbing. It took him some effort since it was made to withstand quite a bit of damage.

'2 down, 1 more to go.'

After grabbing the arc reactors from both the terminated suits, he used the depowering suit he was on as a springboard and jumped to the back of the next last one. Having learned his lesson from before.

This suit was one with a large number of weapons and had been bombarding him with quite a few weapons that he'd had to tank. It wasn't too big of a deal but it was annoying for him.

He used a new move and used his energy as a magical source and created a compressed ball of magical energy in his hand before pushing it inside the suit that was shooting him while trying to shake him off.

At that instant, the suit burst open from the inside and Alex jumped back to the ground.

He'd developed this move after working with his ‹Weak Magic Affinity› and exploring its capabilities. Its main use that he'd discovered till now was to convert his own raw energy into so-called magical energy.

Alex could use that magical energy for myriad purposes. He hadn't been able to cast real magic yet and could only use this crude way of compressing the energy into a ball and having it explode.

This wasn't done through the use of the biological energy that gave him EP, nor through Wanda's Chaos Energy. It was his everyday energy that was used to run his body.

He could easily obtain it through easy means like food and even his hosts constantly generated quite a bit of it for him so it wasn't a scarce resource for him. He was basically converting his stamina into magical energy or mana as he decided to call it from now on since it was convenient.

When he was done, he decided to look for another opponent, this time one from Captain America's side. He was playing both sides and he was going to make it seem that he was playing both sides.

…

Wanda felt that Alex's body was moving away from her, but she could feel that he was also inside her and what was separated was only a part of Alex's body from inside her.

The invisibility wasn't very effective on Wanda since her Chaos magic acted as a natural detector when she was focusing. With more practice and proficiency in Chaos magic, this kind of thing would become a passive ability for her.

She was holding back Vision's Mind Stone beams while also creating shields to defend herself and Clint from the repulsor blasts of the ten Iron Man suits surrounding them.

"Does Tony not have anything better to do? How does he have so many fucking suits." Clint felt like crying as he shot an arrow at a suit's vital spot. Two repulsor blasts attacked him at the same time, he dodged one while Wanda formed a shield to block the other.

"Vis told me that he's pretty obsessed with this work. It ended up with him and Pepper on a break." Wanda commented offhandedly as she counterattacked against Vision.

"You seem pretty lax right now." Clint noticed how she was being pretty carefree.

"Well, we just have to hold back Vision until Cap and his friend can leave."

"And then?"

"Then… I blow everyone away and walk out in stride as if I own the place…" She smiled with a very rare confident look in her eyes.

Clint was surprised at how uncharacteristic Wanda seemed, "You don't hear that every day…"

"Well, maybe I'll just fly away. But I'm sure as hell not getting caught and put in a hole like some animal." She had a furious glint in her eyes as she said the last part.

[Incoming…] Alex warned Wanda and she created a shield to directly block the web that was shot at her. His warnings weren't limited to words. Telepathically, Alex is able to instantly convey the exact direction and location of the danger.

She telekinetically grabbed Spider-Man and lifted him before throwing him at Vision who was preparing to shoot another beam at her.

"Hey, Vis, I'll show you something fun…" Wanda smiled and decided to unleash something she'd been preparing for a few minutes.
