Marvel: I'm a Symbiote

Chapter 37 Safehouse



"Now, Wanda." Alex gave the signal to Wanda who used her powers to slow down the descent of the plane at the optimal time and she didn't waste any time before starting the deceleration.

Alex paid attention to the ground to make sure that they don't end up crashing. He wanted to keep this plane with him so that at some point, he could modify it to make it better and use it as a transport tool.

Soon they were almost stopped as the plane started to fall and that's when four huge black legs erupted from the bottom of the plane, grabbing onto the snow-covered ground and accurately controlling their descent to make sure that the plane wasn't damaged and they could easily get out.

"Good work, Wanda." Alex praised her.

She smiled with a pleased look in her eyes.

"Where do we go?" Alex asked Nat. He'd brought her to the exact spot that she told him. They were somewhere within the Alaskan mountain regions at the exact spot that Nat had told Alex.

Alaska shouldn't have taken them so long to get to, but Alex had to take a really long detour. Be basically took the long way around the Earth to get here. And even with that he had to make some detours to avoid many regions since although he was hidden from sight using camouflage, there were plenty of other ways to detect an aircraft.

The three of them exited the plane and were greeted by white snow everywhere. The winds were extremely chilly as the temperature went far below freezing point. Wanda could directly feel her breath crystalize in the wind.

"Alex, I'm cold," Wanda told him. She was just wearing a full-sleeved sweater with some jeans and was far from optimally dressed for this temperature. Nat, on the other hand, was in her combat suit and didn't feel too cold.

The next instant, both of them completely stopped feeling any cold. Their clothes didn't change, but the cold wind and temperature completely stopped affecting them.

"Thanks. I know where we are, we just need to hike for 10 minutes." Nat who'd been looking around for some signs thanked Alex and told them how long it would take to reach the safe house.

"Let's go then." Alex didn't want to waste any time.

Neither of the girls was feeling any cold so it wasn't any problem for them to hike for a while. What was weird though, was the presence of the walking airplane behind them. Alex had literally created legs for that plane and was bringing it with them.

"You need to bring this?" Nat asked.

"I wanna tinker with it and make something good," Alex said while shrugging his shoulders.

"You boys and your toys." Wanda couldn't help but comment.

"I've got some different toys in mind though…" Alex trailed off with that ambiguous statement.

Instead of having the effect he wanted, his comment made the atmosphere a little awkward. Neither of the two girls was very comfortable with sharing the same person whom they were in a physical relationship with. As unique and different as the situation was, it was going to take some time for them to get used to this.

"The scenery's pretty amazing, huh?" Alex could only badly attempt to change the topic since he realized that his words didn't hit the way that they should've.

Neither Wanda nor Natasha spoke but they both had slightly amused smiles on their faces. The three of them made their way to the villa with a slightly awkward atmosphere that Alex tried to placate on the way.

"Well, this is far from a bunker…" Alex commented as even though Nat told him that it was a villa, he was still expecting a sort of bunker in the snow.

But this was a modern villa with two stories and a backyard. Although the place seemed unmaintained and covered with snow, it was still very beautiful.

"Told you it was a nice place," Nat said with a smirk as she enjoyed Alex and Wanda's surprised expressions.

"We need to clean this place up though." Wanda said, but Alex looked at her with a look that scared her, "What?"

"You have telekinesis powers you can get all this cleaned up in a jiffy," Alex told her.

"It doesn't work like that. My control isn't that fine yet. I could damage the building." Wanda made excuses since she didn't want to clean the place herself.

"It's fine, I have a way to control your output of energy. As long as you don't push really hard to bring out more energy, I can seal it and only allow some of it to pass through. You can think of it as training your fine control." Alex told her with a smile on his face.

Wanda narrowed her eyes, "You just want me to do all the work, don't you?"

"Pfft, What? Noo…" Alex lied to her. He wasn't in the mood to do this cleaning work. The training was just something he used as the reason, he didn't want to do so much work. He would have to create tens of clones and clean everything up. It was a tedious task.

"Right." Wanda kept looking at him as Alex turned his head away with a somewhat guilty expression on his face.

"Pfft… Hahaha." Nat burst out laughing and broke the tension completely, "Come on, let's go in. The cleaning can be done later. The inside of the place is pretty well built and should be maintained."

They entered the villa and Nat grabbed a sheet that had been covering the couch and pulled it off.

"This was one of Fury's personal safehouses. He is the only one who knows about it other than me. Even I found out by a fluke when he let me stay here for a few days after a mission." Nat informed them about it.

"Well, this place is actually in a very strategically safe location. The mountains around us provide a very good natural cover from the cold winds and snowstorms. And the valley works as a very nice spot if we ever need to abruptly ditch this place and escape. It's very well thought out." Alex commented as he also started taking off the sheets covering the rest of the furniture. He didn't try to unnecessarily hurry everyone.

"It also provides a nice cover from satellites. That's why this isn't a bunker and a fully open mansion." Nat said.

They had plenty of time with each other and would spend most of the time training. Some relaxation right now is fine, but when they start training, Alex was going to make sure that there was no waste of time.

He had far too much to learn from both of them. Natasha was going to teach him her decades of active combat experience while he was going to work with Wanda to help her understand her magic and improve his use of magic through ‹Weak Magic Affinity› and try to upgrade that ability.

He would also be teaching Wanda some basic physical hand-to-hand combat. It would be useful for training her physique and strength. As far as Alex understood, she needed to have a strong physique to truly output massive amounts of magic without burdening her body.

Most of their time would be spent training and the rest of it would be dedicated to increasing the bonding rate with them. Alex wasn't going to ever let these girls go and would make sure that their bond was completely unbreakable.

"Hey, Nat. Does this place have a gym or something?" Alex asked.

"Yeah, the lower level of the basement. But there's no equipment except for a few basic dumbells and calisthenics support equipment but that's it."

"That works. And 'lower basement'?" Alex asked her.

"Yeah, there are two floors below ground here. One is for storing long-term supplies and the other is an empty area that was supposed to be a gym."

"This is a personal safehouse?" Wanda was dumbfounded.

"It's Fury, Wanda. You're not that familiar with him but he has contingencies for contingencies. Even those contingencies have further contingencies. He's a paranoid man." Nat told her while rolling her eyes when thinking about Fury's bullshit paranoia.

"I see." Wanda nodded in understanding.

"All right girls. We have quite a bit of time to ourselves and have very much to do. I'll set up a schedule for us and the three of us will start training with full force. Nat, we'll train hand-to-hand combat while we work together to get the best possible electricity manipulation coordination. We'll focus on these abilities to create a combat system that's suited for you. And Wanda, we'll be using your magic abilities and exploring the potential of how far you can truly go while still maintaining control. I want us to have at least some sort of mastery over your powers. All three of us need to get stronger. A lot stronger. We have to be prepared for the inevitable galactic warfare that's coming in the very near future." Alex naturally took up the spot of a sort of leader with the girls.

"Sure, I don't mind. It's better to focus on a specific powerset than diversifying unnecessarily." Nat agreed with Alex.

"I don't mind either." Wanda also agreed.

"Then let's start," Alex said.
