"You really are useless, aren't you, Quentin?" There was another voice that mocked Mysterio. That was when Gwen's Spider-Sense started flaring crazily.
Gwen didn't hear anything since her hearing was suppressed but she reacted and dodged whatever was about to attack her.
Though it was useless, her Spider-Sense was still flaring with danger signals all around her.
[Alex? What's going on?] She asked Alex. She'd come to rely pretty heavily on his advice whenever something became too difficult or confusing for her to manage.
[There's another guy. He's doing something that's making all extrasensory abilities useless. Even my 6th sense is going haywire.] Alex told her.
'Shouldn't rely too much on a single ability…' Alex's belief was reinforced. He never wanted to completely rely on a single ability, which was why he went for multiple hosts with a separate repertoire of abilities as he got the chance. He wanted to master multiple abilities and methods so that he can take care of himself no matter the situation.
[Jump up!] Alex was glad that he had magic. He was constantly using Mana Sense to feel his surroundings and understand what was going on.
Gwen instantly followed his words and something metallic scraped the ground beneath her.
[This was such a good workout for your Spider-Sense…] Alex lamented. Whatever the new guy used to take care of Gwen's Spider-Sense, made it go haywire. Now Gwen can't train it anymore.
[I don't think that the situation is as light as you're treating, Alex.] Gwen felt like panicking Her only reliable sense was her Spider-Sense and now even that was going haywire and giving her the wrong signals. She would've been completely helpless had it not been for Alex.
[It's fine. Let them all show themselves. No point in beating up one of them and letting the rest get a chance to gang up on you.] Alex told her calmly. His own senses weren't exactly working as expected but he had Mana Sense so he wasn't as helpless as Gwen.
"Don't you think that it was cowardly for you to drag a civilian in this fight, Frank…" Gwen tried to taunt The Punisher to draw him out. She also had Alex remove the sense suppressors. There was no point in having her senses blocked when her Spider-Sense was also useless.
"You think that you can appeal to a sense of justice after your actions, Menace?" She heard Frank's voice from above her.
'He's above me?' Just as she was about to jump back from her spot, Alex stopped her, [Don't!]
Gwen stayed on her spot and replied, "You know what actually happened! And what's with you ganging up on me with this overpaid VFX artist?" She didn't forget to mock Mysterio while trying to fist for information.
"How dare you?!" Apparently, Gwen had hit a nerve. There was an instant burst of projectiles at her. Bullets, knives, scrap metal, everything. It was practically impossible for Gwen to completely dodge the projectiles.
[Give me control for a moment, and start charging up your Bio-Electricity.] Alex said and Gwen didn't hesitate before feeling like she wasn't in control of her body anymore.
Alex perfectly dodged all the real projectiles while letting the fakes pass through. Just as he landed, he gave back control over her body to Gwen. It was done perfectly and seamlessly.
"Otto! your machine is useless!" Mysterio spilled the beans about another member that was present here.
"You really are a dumbass, aren't you Quentin?" The same voice that had mocked Mysterio said again. Apparently, it was Dr. Octopus.
'Doc Ock, Mysterio, Green Goblin, Punisher… Who are the other two?' Alex was deep in thought. This was a classic sinister six lineup with the punisher added in the middle.
"Doctor Otto?" Gwen was surprised by his presence.
[What's up?] Alex asked. He wanted to know the reason behind Gwen's surprise.
[He's a good guy. Hell, he's a good friend of mine. Or I guess used to be…] Gwen didn't know what to think.
"Hello, my appretince… To imagine how shocked I was to realize that you were the one behind the death of Peter Parker…" Otto brought out his professor's voice and had a disappointed edge to his tone. As if he was disappointed in Gwen.
"You don't know anything!" Gwen shouted.
"I know enough to know that you killed the person that had gotten my internship before you… Was it really all jealousy?" Otto riled up Gwen.
[He's just riling you up, Gwen…] Alex made sure that she was able to act with a calm and rational mind in this situation. The last thing he needed in this current situation was to deal with an out-of-control Spider.
[I'm gonna fucking kill him…] Gwen was mad but was still rational.
[Discharge, now.] Alex told her. This was a perfect moment to immobilize 4 of the 6 assailants and Alex took it.
Suddenly, there was a huge blast of energy. Alex had also conjoined his Lightning Manipulation with Gwen's Bio-Electricity to release a truly deadly blast.
There were four distinct sounds of grunts and the sound of sparks. A lot of the VFX drones that Mysterio was using were damaged.
"Finally!" Gwen was about to move to Doc Ock to incapacitate him but Alex stopped her, [I know that you're mad at him, but Mysterio takes priority here. He is the most troublesome of this lot. That device that was messing with your Spider-Sence was burnt out so you have all your senses back.] Alex was the voice of reason in her head.
Gwen didn't waste another second before moving to Mysterio and completely incapacitating him with her Bio-Electricity. She made sure that he wouldn't wake up for at least a few days.
None of the leftover people were able to react to the current situation in time before Gwen moved to Mysterio's fallen body.
"Spider-Woman!" There was a deep growling voice as a blue blur appeared in front of Gwen.
'Sonic?' Alex felt nostalgic all of a sudden.
Though within the next instant, that blue blur took a human shape in front of Gwen and grabbed at her. It was Electro, and he'd realized that Gwen had some sort of electric ability.
His instincts were screaming at him to devour all the electricity in Gwen's body.
'Come to papa little sparky…' Alex was both surprised and happy at Electro's presence. His Lightning Manipulation had been stuck at the basic level for quite a while and he was sure that devouring Electro was going to at least get the ability to an intermediate level. He'd been training the ability for quite a while.
[Don't resist.] Alex told Gwen to let Electro grab her. She understood that he would probably have a way to take care of Electro and let Electro grab her arm.
"Ahahaha. It's all mine! All mine!" His mind was a little delirious, [I think that your electricity hit him and he overdosed on it like a drug…] Alex commented when he realized Electro's state.
[Isn't he made of electricity?] Gwen didn't get what Alex meant.
[The electricity that was discharged by you was augmented by both your own Bio-Electricity and my own Lightning Manipulation— which translates to real fucking lightning, combined with electricity generated by a genome derived by a multiversal entity. The guy basically got a dose of the highest concentration of electricity. He's high and wants more.] Alex explained to Gwen.
Electro was rambling meaninglessly while trying to extract the electricity from Gwen but to no avail.
Although he was basically an electricity being, his mental strength was laughable. It was impossible to wrestle control over electricity from someone like Alex who could simultaneously control almost 150 bodies at the same time. Alex was glad for devouring Venom. He got an instant 50% increase in his mental strength after completely digesting the guy.
"What's going—" Electro couldn't even complete his question before he instantly got sucked into Gwen's body. Or to be more precise, Alex's body.
[Alex, what did you do?] Gwen asked, creeped out.
[I contained him. Don't worry about it. We can take care of him later.] Alex told her. In the same way that Electro was trying to take control over the charged electrons in Gwen's body that Alex was managing, Alex had turned the tables on Electro. He'd taken control over Electro's charged electrons and sucked everything into his symbiote body. He'd contained Electro in the same way as he'd done when he'd contained the version of Electro in Research Earth. He was just much more efficient this time.
'2 down 4 more to go…' Alex mentally counted who was left, 'Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Punisher, and the last unknown presence.' Alex counted.
Gwen didn't waste any more time before moving to Doctor Octopus. She wanted to get rid of this troublesome guy first.
[Your biases are getting to you, Gwen…] Alex told her. She could've gone for anyone else, but she was mad at Doc Ock and went to take care of him first.
[I don't care…] She said.
[Just… Try not to get into a dangerous situation if you're mad at someone.] Alex knew that she was determined so he didn't persuade her.
Just as Gwen's hand was about to reach Doc Ock, her Spider-Sense flared momentarily and a metallic claw grabbed her wrist before she could react. Although her reaction time was really good, Doc Ock's metal arms were even faster.
