Marvel: I'm a Symbiote
35 Aftermath
"Ugh…" Nat groaned as she woke up from sleep.
[Alex…] She first called out to her partner.
"I'm here Nat…" Alex came to her in his human form. He had a separate body monitoring the plane's autopilot.
"What happened…" She asked while groggily waking up.
"Wanda released a huge blast of energy. It put everything within a 5-mile radius to sleep. It had already been evacuated so the only people that got knocked out were the ones at the airport." He told her the details since she would've been worried if Wanda had ended up killing some civilian.
"Where are we? Are we on a plane?" She asked as she saw her unfamiliar surroundings and the indistinct feeling that is felt when in an airplane.
"Yep. Taking advantage of her putting everyone to sleep, I got everyone that was there to help Cap out of the airport before the police came." He told her.
"Where are they?" She asked him.
"On another plane." He smiled.
"What?"
"I already had to steal a plane, I decided that I was going to steal two instead." He smirked.
"Who's flying that plane?" She asked with a confused expression.
"You seem to have forgotten that my main constitution is a slime. I can turn into a hundred people without any issue." He said nonchalantly.
"My bad. I'm still a little groggy. I forgot…" She said since it was something that she would've usually remembered.
"Don't worry about it. In the end, this plane has you and Wanda. While I stuffed everyone else in the other plane." He told her.
"Wanda too?" Nat was confused. She'd thought that he'd got this plane for them to have some private time together.
Alex seemed to have a sheepish look on her face.
"Well… you see…" He showed that he was hesitant.
"Tell me…" Nat felt weird seeing him like that.
"I'm also sort of bonded with Wanda. It happened at the same time as you. In Lagos." He told her as if it was something that had been making her feel guilty for a while. He knew that he could've lied to her but at some point, those lies would end up getting caught so he might as well go with the truth right from the get-go.
He could lie about his origins and shit, but the rest of the lies were easy to catch if one paid enough attention. So, he decided that he doesn't want to lie to either her or Wanda.
"Oh. Ohh. Ohhh…" She said 'oh' three times with increasingly long pauses of realization.
"So…" She wanted to know whether Alex's relationship with Wanda was as intimate as it was with her.
"Well, not yet. But it will be. I've been holding back since I don't understand how her powers work and I don't want them to cause a violent reaction when I… you know..." He had the decency to not mention it directly in front of her.
"Is there a specific reason for bonding with two hosts? I thought that you could only have a single host at the same time?" Nat didn't seem mad or even cheated. She was just curious about his reasons.
"I can bond with as many people as my mind can support actually. The more hosts, the better. Bonding with Wanda has allowed me to wield her powers to a slight extent while allowing her to use more of her power without straining her body." He said.
"I see. Is she awake?"
"Not yet, she tired herself out after that last attack. She won't be waking up for a while." He could wake her up with a boost but there was no real point in doing that. And he could rejuvenate her body and mind, but her power would still be strained.
"I see. And plans for a destination?"
"Not really. You both are fugitives and can't really be seen in public too much anymore." He told her.
"Yeah…" Nat seemed a little downcast about it as she frowned.
"You don't have to worry. Steve will contact you sooner or later." He put a hand on the side of her head and ran his fingers through her fiery hair.
"I have an idea about somewhere we could go. It's pretty secluded and in the mountains. There are enough supplies there to hold out for a while." Nat told him.
"I'll map out the route." Alex led her with him to the cockpit and they set the route.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to these clones of yours…" Nat was a little weirded out by the presence of another Alex in the cockpit.
"It's not a clone, Nat. They're like my own limbs. Parts of my body that are connected to my main consciousness" He explained.
"Come on, let's drink our sorrows away. You've just been branded a worldwide fugitive and an enemy of the world. How does it feel to go from protector to fugitive?" Alex held her hand and brought her to the bar area.
It was a nice corporate jet and had a few amenities.
"Like shit." She said bluntly with an indescribable look on her face.
"I could make you feel better…" He teased her.
"And if Wanda wakes up?" She asked.
"She could always join in." Alex leaned closer to Nat after taking a sip of whiskey.
"Is that so…" She trailed off and closed her eyes in anticipation as Alex moved in for the kiss.
Nat was feeling pretty tired and shitty and having a partner to enjoy her time with was just what she needed.
She would probably be open to having a threesome with Wanda if Alex played his cards right during their secluded retreat in the mountains. But that was to be determined.
…
In the other plane, with the others from Cap's side.
Alex had decided that he didn't want to deal with the bullshit from the others so after setting up everything on autopilot, he disappeared into Jessica Jones at the time that everyone would be waking up.
There were groans throughout the plane as people started waking up. They quickly realized that they were in a plane and no one was piloting it right now. It also served as a signal that one of them brought everyone here when they all went to sleep.
Soon, a few of them took control of the situation and decided on a destination. Quake knew how to pilot a normal aircraft and was the one who set their route.
They were suspicious that one of them was responsible for this but there wasn't any lead so they didn't focus on the issue.
Meanwhile, Jessica was sitting in the back with her arms wrapped around her legs and her face buried in her knees.
"What's up?" Luke came to her and asked.
"I don't think we can continue investigating the Hand…" She mentioned.
"Yeah. Bummer." The heat that they would have after this incident was sure to make them unable to be seen in the public eye for a long time. If they were caught, they would probably be sent to either the Raft or put on house arrest depending on their powers.
"Take care, Jess." He patted her shoulder for comfort and left after they talked for a while.
Alex was going to make himself known when she was alone and had some peace to herself.
They all were probably going to some old shield bunker. Daisy was the current director of the new Shield and had all the information from Fury about it.
…
With Steve and Bucky.
Tony, Rhodey, and Sam had tracked the Quinjet to Siberia and were going in to confront Captain America and Bucky.
With Wakanda's resources, it wasn't difficult for T'Challa to track them and he also came, but he hid. He'd calmed down after the fight at the airport and realized that it may all have been a setup after the fight in the Hangar.
Falcon held Rhodes back outside the facility and Tony ended up going in alone.
The events from the original timeline played with an almost exactly identical situation. With one key difference.
Tony's suit was much better than it would've been. After the widespread panic when the different worlds suddenly appeared in the sky, Tony pretty much went all in with working on his suits. He also ended up neglecting his relationship with Pepper. That's why they were on a break right now.
Just as it happened in the original timeline, Tony found out about how Bucky was the one who'd killed his parents and completely blew his top. He lashed out at Bucky, trying to kill him with everything he had. And he almost succeeded. Almost.
Steve was fallen to the ground with his shield in pieces, with tears gathered in his eyes as he looked at the pitiful state of his friend. Tony had ripped off not only his metal arm but also the other arm from his body. Same with one of his legs, Tony had ripped it off from below the kneecap. He was even 'kind' enough to stop the bleeding by burning the flesh in the affected areas.
Bucky's whole body had been riddled with third-degree burns as he'd already passed out from the pain. Even the brutal training that he'd gone through during the Winter Soldier program hadn't been enough to prepare him for the kind of pain that Tony had put him through.
The only thing worse than an angry Iron Man was an angry Iron Man who was prepared for a war on a galactic scale.
Tony looked over at his comrade of many years fallen on one side and the murderer of his parents on the other.
"I won't kill him…" He whispered in a gruff voice loud enough for Steve to hear and then he left the facility after taking care of things. Which meant killing the other Winter Soldiers that were present in the cryogenic chambers. He didn't want more of these Winter Soldier guys running amok and giving Hydra the manpower to cause more problems than there already were.
After that, Tony left with Rhodey.
T'Challa had his talk with Baron Zemo and captured him as the real culprit of his father's murder. He felt slightly guilty for causing so many problems for Bucky and Steve and seeing the pitiful and broken appearances of the two, he decided to help them out. It wasn't going to be a big deal for him anyway.
And that was how the Civil War of the Avengers ended almost exactly the same as it did in the movie.
Even after so many different elements, everything ended up being perfectly balanced. As it should've been.
