Marvel: I'm a Symbiote

Chapter 50 Merging

?Laura tried to wipe her tears with her hands as she brought up her arm to her face, but that's when she noticed something weird.

"Alex, my body feels different…" She furrowed her brows as she felt uncomfortable in her own body. Although Alex was able to trick her nerves so that she doesn't feel any phantom pains, her conscious mind was still able to recognize that her hand wasn't the same as it should be.

[Don't panic…] He wanted her to know that something big was coming.

"Alex… What's going on?" She had a skeptical undertone in her voice.

[Your entire body was destroyed as we escaped. I've currently formed the equivalent of a prosthetic for you while tricking your nerves so that you don't feel any phantom pain.] He told her quickly, expecting her to react negatively.

"Oh…" Her reaction was very lackluster. She just blinked a few times in surprise.

[That's it?] Alex was expecting much more.

"I'm not going to cry about it. My old man was able to recover his entire body after it was destroyed once, I'm sure that I can do it too. It's probably just going to take a lot of time…" She said.

[Well, that's good. I'm glad that you aren't freaking out. And yes, you will regenerate with time. But there's a problem. We don't have a lot of time, especially not a week to wait until you heal up. I need to speed up your healing process. Though the good thing is that you've most probably lost whatever tracker they'd implanted in you.] Alex told her.

"Surely it won't take a week…" Laura knew her healing factor and it should've been better than that.

[Sadly it will. Whatever they did in that facility by regularly extracting your bone marrow, impaired your healing factor. The ability is basically stunted and needs to be fixed. I can see some external influence in this. They probably injected you with something to suppress your healing factor.] He informed her of his diagnosis.

"Fuckers…" Laura's face got that vengeful look again.

[Calm down. You can do your revenge shtick later, I have to expedite your healing. I can also fix the problems with your healing factor.]

"Okay… And how are you going to do that?" Laura understood that this was the real reason that he was talking to her. If it could've been done without asking her, then he would've already done it.

[I need to merge with your skin.] He told her. This is what he'd come up with for the Level 3 bond. Forming an intricate connection with her body by individually merging with every single cell of her skin. The current bond only allowed him to perform a superficial level of modifications to her biology. A least when compared to what he would be able to do when merged with her skin.

"I don't think that's safe…" She didn't seem to like the idea of having Alex merge into her skin.

[You won't become some kind of alien. When I say that I'll merge with your skin, I mean that the symbiotic connection that I have with you will be deepened as I focus on your skin. It won't change a thing about your biology or your looks.]

"You sure?" She asked again.

[Positive. Nothing will go wrong. I'll be able to increase the speed of your healing and I'll also be able to enhance your abilities in a better manner.] He told her with confidence.

"Fine, I agree…" Laura was still a little apprehensive but she agreed since she knew that they were on the clock and her current situation wasn't exactly very good.

[Good. Now relax, and close your eyes.] He told her in a soothing tone as black tendrils started covering her head. It wasn't exactly comforting, but Laura didn't say anything, she knew that it was necessary. She'd developed at least enough trust in Alex to know that he didn't want to harm her. Otherwise, he could've escaped easily after abandoning her, he could've joined up with another citizen and easily disappeared. He wasn't the one that the robots were after.

She felt a black, latex-like texture covering her skin, at least the skin that she knew was her own. It went over her cheeks, nose, eyes, and ears and soon covered every inch of skin that was left over.

Soon, she felt something invading her ears, [Alex!] She was startled as she felt something invading her ear canals.

[Shhh… Stay calm. I'm with you…] He soothed her and felt her calm down a little as he continued gently invading her ear canals, he did the same with her nose and tiny tendrils soon entered her nose too. He was directly giving her the required air that she needed for her brain to survive right now.

He decided to keep talking to her for a while since this process was going to take time. Talking would, without a doubt, calm her down.

[Are you suffocated?]

[No…] Her tone was almost dreamy. It was due to the high-quality oxygen that Alex was supplying to her. He'd filtered the air to have the necessary elements but removed every polluted particle. Laura was feeling a little oxygen-high right now.

[I'll first merge with the skin cells of your head so that I can start guiding your healing factor.]

[What do you mean?] She asked, still in that dreamy tone.

[Think of your healing factor as an instinctual ability of your body. Its task is to regenerate anything and everything to its correct state. The main force that guides its actions is your genome. It acts like a blueprint for your body and makes sure that your body is healed in the correct spots and doesn't develop any mutation like a third arm or something.] He told her as he massaged her cheeks, his tendrils also started invading her mouth, forcing it open.

At this point, Laura was feeling completely exposed to Alex. Even though all she had was her head, there wasn't a single orifice that wasn't being invaded by Alex right now.

[How are you going to interfere?] Laura was curious about how Alex was going to speed up her healing. As weird as she was feeling tight now, she was using talking to him to distract herself from all those weird sensations.

Alex's symbiote body finally started merging with her skin, making Laura feel a sense of euphoria at whatever spot he merged with her. As he merged with the skin on Laura's cheeks, she felt a fiery sensation for a few moments before feeling like some lost part of herself had merged. back into her. There was no foreign feeling during the merger as Alex massaged her skin and kept merging with her each skin cell.

[After I'm done merging with the skin on your head, I'll be able to communicate with your ability to push it forward. As I said, it's an instinctual process and with time, as it gets familiar with healing certain parts, those parts will be healed faster. My external influence is also going to do that. I'm going to force it to move quicker.] He gave her a simplified gist of her ability.

[I see…] Laura wasn't in much of a state to talk after that since she was feeling every single sensation very vividly. Each part that Alex merged with gave her a sense of euphoria that was hard to describe for her.

Soon, he was done with all of her external skin and the tendrils that had made themselves comfortable in her ear canals started to merge into her skin.

[Ahn~] Even though she was completely unable to speak, it didn't stop her from moaning mentally. The merger with her ears was very different since her ears were a sensitive spot for her and the feeling of euphoria that she felt after that merger was a little overwhelming.

Not to mention that she hadn't felt any pleasure in years. She was too prideful to pleasure herself in front of those scientists that didn't even have the decency to let her wear a full set of clothes.

Alex was sure that if her body was actually functioning, she would be convulsing with an overwhelming orgasm, right now.

But that didn't stop him, he kept going as the tendrils merged with her nose and the inside of her mouth. After this, Alex could passively provide Laura with the air that she needed and she could even breathe normally underwater.

Alex was developing a new ability that would allow him to share matter among two of his bodies. With that, he could passively assist Laura's breathing even if she was in a completely oxygen-deprived environment, like space.

«Owned Skills: ‹Superhuman Grade Physique Creation (35 Tons)› ‹Enhanced 6th Sense› ‹Biological Manipulation› ‹Basic Lightning Manipulation› ‹Weak Magic Affinity› ‹Lesser Heat and Sound Resistance› ‹Basic Matter Transmission(Incomplete)› ‹Advanced Energy Transmission› ‹Camouflage› ‹Host Enhancement› ‹Devour› ‹Copy›»

‹Basic Matter Transmission (Incomplete):: Allows the Symbiote to share a singular element at a time between all of its bodies. Creates a shared central storage area to contain those transferable elements.

Alex had the ability to make changes to his system as he wished. It was less of a cheat and more of a status manager for him at this point as he'd determined. The whole using EP to buy new powers wasn't exactly useful to him. He would rather use the EP to strengthen his own abilities. Getting new powers was as easy as devouring someone with that power.

As he discovered more things about himself, he added more and more abilities to the system panel. It allowed him to manage and quantify everything very well.

He'd come up with the idea to make ‹Basic Matter Transmission› after quantifying an innate ability that he had as a symbiote.

‹Advanced Energy Transmission›:: Allows the Symbiote to share any kind of energy between all of its bodies. Creates a central shared storage to contain all those energies separately. Currently available energies in the central storage: Chaos Energy— Mana— Biological Energy(EP)— Biological Energy (Stamina)— Electric Energy.
