'Sacred my ass…' Gwen was annoyed.
[Your ass is sacred.] Alex said as if it was a matter of fact.
[I'm in the middle of a fight, Alex. And please don't read my surface thoughts. It's eerie.] Gwen said.
She was busy dodging and trying to come up with a plan to take care of another of them when she heard Alex's voice in her head again, [Feign tiredness at this point. You've been fighting a high-intensity fight for so long. You should be tired by now. It'll get them to drop their guard a little.] He told her his next idea.
[I like that…] She said in an energetic tone. A tone that didn't match her following actions.
After a few minutes of dodging their attacks, Gwen's movements started getting a little sluggish. This was easily noticed by the three conscious people in the room as they increased the intensity of their attacks.
Seeing Gwen's slower movements, Cindy decided to become an active participant in the fight and jumped down from the ceiling. She'd spent her time throwing distracting shots from the ceiling and not actually doing anything more.
"You seem to be getting tired, Miss Spider-Woman." Cindy taunted.
"Haah… It's more than enough to… haah… deal with you." Gwen acted as if she was wound up.
[Tone down on the heavy breaths. It's a little exaggerated.] Alex informed her with schadenfreude.
[Right…] Gwen rolled her eyes under her mask.
With Cindy actively joining the fray, Gwen's fight got even harder. She had to dodge Doc Ock's tentacle arms and Punisher's super-accurate headshots that came from an assault rifle that had armor-piercing rounds while also having to deal with Cindy's melee prowess, which wasn't a joke.
Cindy had trained extensively in multiple martial arts along with her scientific pursuits. The only reason that Gwen was able to keep up with her and even slightly suppress her was because of her superior physical abilities, courtesy of Alex.
A tentacle claw grazed Gwen's waist, drawing some blood while Cindy kept Gwen on her toes.
[Hey! The only tentacles that can graze my girl are my own.] She heard Alex say in her head.
[Damnit, Alex you pervert! At least pay attention to the situation.] Gwen chided.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt[You can take care of it. I'm confident in your abilities.] Alex told her. He could always bail her out with his Chaos magic in a desperate situation.
[Now he decides that he should let me deal with my shit myself…] Gwen felt like she was rolling her eyes too much today.
[I heard that.]
[I meant to let you hear that.] She snarled while dodging a particularly well-aimed headshot that the punished had shot at her after she kicked Cindy away. Having to dodge that bullet put Gwen back where she was as Cindy gained on her and started attacking her again, making Gwen lose the little advantage that she'd brought for herself.
Gwen was starting to get annoyed with their persistent attacks while also having to act like she was tired. These guys weren't letting her find a single opening.
[And to think this is when they don't have any coordination…] Alex told Gwen.
[What do you mean?] Gwen felt like these guys were plenty coordinated.
[Their attacks aren't truly coordinated. It's just Punisher who's trying to coordinate with the other two. Both Otto and Cindy are attacking you on their own terms. If they were actually cooperating, you would be writhing in pain on the ground by now as Cindy extracted your blood… Or whatever she wants to do with you this time…] Alex said the brutal truth. Gwen wasn't really strong enough to fend off the combined forces of these guys yet.
[Whatever.] Gwen was getting lightly hurt repeatedly. She was acting sluggish, which meant that she couldn't make too complicated movements too quickly. This allowed the leftover trio of the Sinister Six to get some hits on her.
Though she still wasn't able to find any openings.
'I should teach her to use some weapon…' Alex mused as he saw Gwen fight barehanded while leveraging her webs to get some hits on her opponents.
After what felt like a lifetime of fighting, Gwen finally saw an opening.
Her entire body was riddled with cuts and bruises, though they were tiny and had no real effect individually, combined, even Gwen was starting to feel the effects of her multiple injuries. But she finally found an opening to take care of Doc Ock.
Just as Cindy was moving to attack her while Doc Ock was behind her to attack her with his mechanical arms, Gwen attacked Cindy with her Bio-Electricity augmented with Alex. He always augmented Gwen when she used her Bio-Electricity since it helped him get more proficient in using his ‹Basic Lightning Manipulation› ability.
Though, Cindy had already jumped away. She had her own version of Spider-Sense, called the Silk-Sense. It was a superior ability to Spider-Sense but was a bit too superior, causing Cindy problems in her daily life. But in this fight, Cindy had an absolute advantage in extrasensory ability.
With Cindy jumping back, Gwen was free to attack Doc Ock, but his mechanical arms were in the way, blocking her from getting close to him.
At the same time, Punisher also started shooting at her. That fucker had been the biggest reason that she wasn't able to take care of these two yet. He kept interfering whenever Gwen got a chance to take care of one of them.
This time though, Gwen leveraged Alex's camouflage ability and disappeared on the spot.
Within half a second, before either Punisher or Doc Ock could react, Gwen was behind Doc Ock and pushed a high-voltage current through his brain stem. At the spot where his arms' core chipset was.
Not only did she stun him to unconsciousness, but also fried the intelligence chip of the arms.
Alex made sure to supplement the current so that the arms actually power down and don't end up taking control over Doc Ock's body like that other time. He used a mix of lightning manipulation and cyberspace manipulation for his. He made sure that those arms would stay powered down until a new chip was created.
After shocking Doc Ock into unconsciousness and turning his arms into a glorified paperweight, Gwen jumped away.
The Punisher had already worn a heat vision device and detected her. Cindy did the same and jumped to her.
'Thanks, Alex…' Gwen inwardly thanked Alex. She knew that without him augmenting and controlling the shock, Doc Ock's arms wouldn't have gone out of commission.
Webbing the top of the warehouse, Gwen jumped away from her spot. Both Punisher and Cindy had arrived to attack her.
Alex got rid of the camouflage since these guys were already wearing heat vision goggles and it wasn't any use. When Gwen used it before when dealing with Mysterio and freeing her father, they didn't realize that it was a camouflage ability that she had. Mysterio's drones had automatically detected her at that time and they didn't pay attention to it at that time.
'I really need a better camouflaging ability…' Alex thought. It was useless when it came to anyone with even the most basic resources.
At this point, it was just Cindy that Gwen was worried about. Frank was no more than a nuisance. Although he was troublesome, she could take care of him.
"You're just full of surprises, aren't you little ghost?" Cindy shot a web at Gwen which Gwen promptly dodged. It stuck itself to the ground behind Gwen and Cindy pulled herself toward Gwen using that web.
Gwen punched the spot where Cindy was about to arrive but Cindy, already having sensed the danger, moved a bit to the side.
Gwen's punch failed to land, which she already expected so she shot a web at Cindy while shooting another at the ceiling.
Cindy dodged the attack and the web went behind her, but Cindy grabbed the web and pulled Gwen to her.
Gwen had already attached another web to the ceiling and was in the air. Then with Cindy's pull, she decided to lean into the momentum and shot toward her with a kick aimed at Cindy.
Cindy had already moved to another location before Gwen landed. And with her landing, Frank started raining more bullets at her location.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGwen had to keep herself busy while dodging those bullets as Cindy started attacking her, not wanting to lose her advantage.
Gwen kept getting pushed back by the combined forces of Cindy and Frank but soon, Frank's bullets were out, and just as he was reloading like he'd done tens of times before, Gwen decided that she'd had enough.
Her Bio-Electricity was charged up enough and she decided to go with another explosion.
[Alex, some support?] She asked.
[You don't need to ask this stuff, Gwen. I automatically augment whatever moves of yours I can. It's sort of a passive thing. You can just tell me when you don't need me to augment your moves.] Alex told her.
[Okay.] She didn't say anything else before she exploded with another burst of electricity.
Sadly though, Cindy's Silk-Sense was annoyingly good and she'd already jumped away from the blast radius of the electric burst.
But Gwen's blast had already achieved its purpose. She'd made quite a bit of distance from Cindy and incapacitated The Punisher.
Gwen quickly moved to Frank and sent a controlled electric shock into his head, knocking him out for good.
"It's just you and me now, Cindy," Gwen said as she dodged Cindy's kick and grabbed her outstretched leg.
Cindy had already anticipated Gwen's move and shot a web at her hand before pulling the web.
Gwen's hand was pulled away as Cindy brought her leg back down and stood her ground in front of Gwen.
"I guess, it is. isn't it?" Cindy said as she grinned. Gwen could see her malevolent grin even through the mask that Cindy was wearing.
