'Slower than Gwen when I'm enhancing her but still higher than her base stats...' That was what he concluded.
He did quite a few things and tested his abilities and their extent.
He determined that he needs to be bonded to a person to show his full capabilities. But what he had was more than enough.
Harry realized that his bullets weren't doing anything and decided on another tactic.
It was something that he would've never done if he was even a little sane.
Alex saw his expression and understood what he wanted to do.
The next instant Harry launched missiles in Alex's direction while he started to speak.
"Pe-" In that instant, Alex clamped his hand over Harry's mouth. He was prepared for something like this after seeing Harry's expression.
He understood that Harry wanted to reveal his identity to everyone through the cameras and he didn't want that.
He was going to get a very bad reputation after what he planned to do today. He didn't want any of that tracing back to Peter Parker.
Especially since he was going to lay low in this world and use it as a research hub for himself. Though he hadn't exactly planned anything out yet and might end up discarding the Peter Parker identity entirely. If his identity gets revealed then he wouldn't have the option and would have to discard the Peter Parker identity, he just wanted to keep his options open
"I can't let you do that, Harry…" He said in a sorrowful tone as he tightened his hold over his face.
Harry was struggling against the strength that 'Peter' was displaying. Even though he'd already taken the Green Goblin serum, he was still no match for Alex.
He tried to use the glider to attack Alex but Alex casually grabbed it with his other hand. His super strength was far more than an average Spider-Man even when he wasn't bonded. The enhancement that he'd provided Gwen after bonding was ridiculous.
"How naughty… You deserve to be punished…" He was having fun seeing the expression of terror on Harry's face
That terror increased even more as his hand started morphing into tendrils and started covering Harry's face.
He was creating a clone to take over Harry's body. Before devouring him completely he was going to use him to get access to all of Oscorp's data.
And also lock down the entire building.
He was planning to commit what people would call— a mass murder.
Alex devoured every single living being within the Oscorp building at that time.
Both dead and living ones.
The dead ones because he wanted to get EP, and the alive ones because he wanted their knowledge and memories. It wouldn't make him a lot more intelligent since Peter was smarter than most scientists working for Oscorp. He still hadn't completely understood how intelligence works.
He also finished devouring Electro in the time he finished with everything. It had provided him with a nice bonus ability and quite a bit of EP.
‹EP: 7›
‹Basic Lightning Manipulation›
Lastly, using Harry's authority, he accessed Oscorp's backup data room and took the entire server for himself. He wanted all of the data and research that Oscorp had.
He made sure to take the schematics for all of their creations including the Green Goblin serum, Doc Octopus's mechanical arms, and everything else.
He couldn't take the technology for himself so he did the next best thing, he took the blueprints and the method of creation for those items.
With his newfound knowledge and Gwen's smarts, he knew that they would be able to make some really good stuff when they completely analyzed that data.
…
After taking care of everything and putting the server in a safe place, Alex hastily made his way to his next destination— Gwendolyn Stacy.
Right now, she was at the airport, about to check into the terminal and leave the country.
'God bless you, Peter Parker…' He was glad that Peter had already made all the preparations for going to Oxford with Gwen. His visa was already approved and he had already booked tickets coinciding with Gwen's flight.
'Talk about unhealthy obsession…' He thought while swinging to the airport. He knew that Peter and Gwen weren't on talking terms and he'd gotten her information by stalking her.
'Whatever, at least it helped me…' He was going to reap the fruits of Peter's efforts.
He discretely landed on the ground near the airport and ran like hell after retracting his suit.
He was going to catch up to Gwen.
What followed was one of the most common clichès of modern media. The guy catches the girl at the airport, they make up their differences, and either the girl stays or the guy follows her wherever she was going.
That was exactly what happened.
Alex went through customs and everything within an hour. Since he didn't have any luggage it didn't take him too long.
He finally caught up to Gwen as she was waiting to board her flight.
"Gwen!" He ran to her.
"Peter!?" She turned to look at him with surprise evident in her tone.
"Hi!" He smiled brightly as he slowed down in front of her.
"What? How? Why?" She was confused and even her questions were incoherent.
"Please… one question at a time." He smiled, "The answer to 'what are you doing here' is that I'm here to catch you. I'm never letting you go again. I'm going with you to Oxford and nothing's going to stop me. The how of it— I got tickets for the same flight." He held up the tickets.
"And the why… Well, do I really need a reason to want to stay with my girlfriend?" He smirked as he walked up to her and held her waist, pulling her close to him.
She didn't say anything and looked deep into his eyes as she hugged him back.
ƥαṇdαηθνε| "Really?" She had a serious expression on her face.
"Really." He nodded.
"What about your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?" She still wasn't convinced.
"They have crime in England… I'll call myself the friendly ghetto Spider-Man." He smiled.
"Please… Don't ever call yourself that. It's horrible." She made a disgusted face.
"Aw come on…" He was still smiling.
"You won't leave?" She asked with a vulnerable touch in her tone.
"Never… I promise." He hugged her even tighter such that their faces were mere centimeters apart from each other.
He slowly leaned into her, dipping her a little to give her a kiss.
She closed her eyes expectantly and wrapped her arms around his neck, waiting for the kiss to come.
It did come. Their lips touched as Gwen felt like a part of herself that she'd been missing had come back to her. She deepened the kiss with passion evident in her tone.
The next moment, their entire moment was ruined as the sound of clapping started.
*Clap**Clap**Clap*
Someone even hooted in the background.
Gwen got embarrassed and pulled back from the kiss, putting her hands on his chest to push him away a bit.
She looked down at the side as she tried to stop her blush.
"I love you…" Alex hit the hammer at the moment and whispered those magical words into her ear.
She came back from her reverie and replied to him, "I love you too…"
They wrapped their arms around each other and got back into the line for boarding.
"Oh, by the way. I'm going to have to rely on you for money. I don't think that delivering pizza is going to be a sustainable model of income."
"So you're saying that you want me to be your sugar mommy?" She teased him.
"I don't mind having a sugar mommy… Especially one as hot and sexy as you…" He whispered the last part into her ear.
Gwen felt goosebumps as she felt his hot breath brush against her ear.
"I love your earrings…" Alex told her.
"You're the one who got them for me…"
"I know. That's why they're beautiful. I have amazing taste, I'm the amazing Spider-Man after all…" He was oozing narcissism
"Wouldn't that mean that I have an amazing taste though?" She said.
They bantered as they boarded the flight. Alex took the seat next to Gwen who was sitting in a window seat.
"What if someone comes?" She asked him.
"I'll politely ask them to fuck off." He told her.
"Um… Rude." She reprimanded him.
"I don't mind being a little rude if it means that I can sit with you…" He said cheesily.
"Your cheesy flirting has got even more cheesy…" She commented as she made herself comfortable in the seat.
"I know you like it…"
"Right…" She trailed off.
They talked for a while as the plane took off.
"Oh, by the way… I have something to talk to you about." He decided to mention something.
"What is it?" She asked.
"I found this cool alien thingy recently…" He told her as if he was a child showing a toy.
"An alien thingy, you say…" She was skeptical.
"Yeah, It's like a bio-suit that's completely under my control. Look." He discretely showed her some tricks by changing his clothes.
"That looks cool… but is it safe?" She was concerned.
