Nat smiled at him, "Pretty much. We can even name the new organization the New Avengers if you want."
Tony said, "I don't think the UN will take very kindly to an organization called the New Avengers being formed without the member countries signing the accords." He twirled the whiskey in his glass before downing it and said, "I'll come up with a finalized plan. But I need you to give me concrete information about your personnel. I don't want to be blindsided by someone like Banner emerging from your group."
"You have to worry about that." She told him with an amused tone. With Alex monitoring each and every one of those widows through the chokers that Nat would be handing to them soon, being blindsided by them would be almost impossible.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date," Tony told her as he entered a room to fix his hair. Just as he closed the door, it opened again, "And also…" He trailed off as he realized that Natasha was nowhere to be seen, "…Of course." He shook his head.
…
Natasha looked at Yelena with a scrutinizing gaze, "You look… different."
Yelena had just come out of the 'healing pod' and was wearing the same black and white leather combat suit that she'd been previously wearing. Her outward appearance was also exactly the same as before. The only difference was her complexion which seemed to have become more vibrant.
"Of course. I was stuck inside practically concrete for the past 72 hours with an unknown man talking in my head all the time. It was amazing." She said, her sarcasm shining through her tone.
"You're fine." Natasha nodded.
"Of course, I'm fine. In fact, I'm better than ever. Look!" Yelena excitedly showed Natasha her sparking fingers. Even though it was difficult for her to even stand right now due to her prolonged suspension, she didn't hesitate to show her new ability to Natasha.
Along with a greater enhancement over her physique, Alex had given her a basic lightning ability. She would be able to channel electricity from the collar and use it to essentially turn her fingers into a Taser.
Natasha gave her an amused smile, "Let's go. Some celebration is in order."
"Ahem…" Yelena looked away, "I would rather get some rest in a bed right now. I need some sleep…" Yelena was too embarrassed to say that she was barely even standing on her legs. She was sure that the figure-hugging pants of her combat suit were supporting her current state and inwardly thanked Apex for helping her not embarrass herself in front of Natasha.
Nat understood her predicament and left her dignity as a competent woman intact, "No problem. When you wake up, we'll celebrate…" She said and gave her a hug, "You can stay with me in the administrative suite. I'm in the bedroom closest to the entry door, you can take the one beside it."
"Thanks, sis…" Yelena smiled as Nat bit her goodbye and went to manage the administrative work of the new organization that she was going to be setting up. She was extremely swamped and barely took the time to talk to Yelena.
As Yelena looked at Nat's receding back she stretched her arms and arched her torso before saying, "Apex?"
[What's up?] He asked.
"Just checking if you're still here…" She said and went to the administrative suite and went to the room beside Nat's.
She slumped on the bed and mumbled to herself, "I almost miss my time in that chamber…" Although she had felt as if she was encased within a block of concrete when in that chamber, the experience was exhilarating for her. She had loved every second of her time when Apex was fucking her in all her holes and giving her mind-melting pleasure.
She chuckled at her words, "I think something broke in my mind during those three days that felt like three months and three minutes at the same time…"
[That's what overwhelming pleasure does to a person.] Alex chimed in her head, [I mean, this is the first time I'm actually talking to you without you merely grunting and moaning in response as I decipher your intent through that response alone…] He laughed.
Yelena snorted, "You could've let me speak if you wanted…"
[I could've, but that wouldn't have been as fun now, would it?] He asked her.
"No…" She trailed off, unable to get that feeling of endless pleasure out of her mind.
[I don't mind continuing our arrangement. To a lesser and more sustainable degree, of course.] He told her, [We could take things slow and steady.]
In the past two days, Alex had found himself wanting something. He wanted to have a threesome with Natasha and Yelena, 'And damn it, I'm going to convince them. No matter how difficult it is…' His conviction was stronger than ever.
'If I was as motivated to get stronger, I probably would've devoured a planet or something by now. Then again… Do all of these Earths have a celestial being nurtured inside them…' Alex's stray thought sent a shiver down his nonexistent spine, 'Wouldn't that be a view…' He couldn't help but form an image where all forty planets exploded outward and a celestial came out of each of them.
'Would they be multiversal clones of the same celestial… Or different celestials entirely… Or would they even exist…' He almost wanted to see that scene happening. Almost.
"Apex?" Yelena's call brought him out of his reverie.
[Hm?] He asked.
"I'm tired…" Yelena mumbled as her eyes closed.
[I'll put you in a sleepsack if you really miss being in that chamber.] Alex laughed and a sleeping bag formed around Yelena, making her clothes vanish. She was cozily tugged inside the sleeping bag.
At the same time, Yelena felt something similar to cilia wrapping all around her naked body. Her arms, calves, thighs, feet, and even her torso. Up to her neck, she was being wrapped in what could only be considered a living bio-suit. It took away her mobility, making her stay still yet comfortable at the same time.
Soon, the hood part of the sleeping bag extended and covered her head, blinding her. At the same time, the same cilia seemed to wrap around her head and went into her ears and nose, taking away two more of her senses. She was still able to freely breathe but it was the filtered oxygen that Alex gave her. She loved breathing in that perfect blend of air that was free from any possible impurities.
[Better?] Alex asked her and Yelena flexed her body a little. She was still able to flex her muscles, but her mobility existed only to a very slight extent. With each and every part of her body wrapped by the bio-suit, she was essentially fixed in her place. Just as she heard Alex's voice in her head, she felt herself growing sleepy.
"Mhm…" She hummed in response and closed her eyes, enjoying the peace that she had almost grown used to in that chamber.
…
"You fucked her." Natasha confronted Alex. She was in the control room of the fortress, aka Dreykov's old office. Alex was standing in front of her after she just called him out to talk.
"She wanted me to." He told her with innocence shining in his tone. He already expected that Yelena's experience wouldn't be hidden from Natasha for long. She was a master of reading simple signs and as good of a spy as Yelena was, she wasn't the Black Widow. And having just come out of the chamber, she wasn't in the best state in the first place.
"Did she ask you to do it?" She asked him, "Wanting something and asking for it are two completely different things."
"I offered, and she agreed. It was completely consensual. I'm a changed slime, I don't force myself on people anymore." He told her, "And it's not like I bonded with Yelena. That's still all you."
"And Wanda." Natasha corrected him.
"…And Wanda. I thought you would prefer that I didn't mention my bond with her." He said.
She tilted her head and shrugged in agreement, "You're not wrong…" Natasha's mind wandered off to a promise that he'd made to her before, "You once said to me you would be able to heal my womb…" She trailed off, almost afraid of him reneging on his words.
"Mhm. I did. I still am going to heal your womb." He told her.
"Can you give me a timeline?" She asked, "I'm gonna be busy with this new organization for a while now…"
"It's not really a time thing… Healing you has more to do with me bonding with you in a deeper manner." He told her.
"What do you mean?" She asked him.
"So, this stuff works in a bit of a complicated way. Ultimately, it has to do with how 'deeply' I'm bonded with you." Seeing Nat's confused expression, he continued, "For example, what I have with you is what I call a Level 2 bond. To an extent, it's to an extent a superficial bond. If I go 'deeper', I will be forming a more intertwined bond with specifically your skin. This constitutes a Level 3 bond. As I go further and bond in an intimate manner with more of your body, I will eventually form a deeper bond with your womb or uterus. That's gonna be at the Level 6 bond if you're curious. That's when I'll be able to heal your uterus and allow you to have my children."
Natasha coughed as she heard his words. She shivered when she imagined herself giving birth to alien slimes.
Alex laughed at her ashen expression and said with amusement, "You don't have to worry. As you said to Yelena, I'm an apex biological being. I can essentially modify the genus of my semen to allow you to have a child with my human form. The kid that we have will be 100% human. They might have a superpower or two, but that's it."
Nat went silent after that, "…That's a lot to take in." A few moments later, she frowned, "I remember you telling me that you can heal me from any sort of injury… I distinctly remember you telling me that you can heal me back to top shape even if my body is destroyed." She looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Ever the observationist, my lovely spy." Alex smiled, "That has to do with what your 'top shape' is. Even if your body is destroyed, I will essentially create a new body for you from scratch. Now for that, I need a record of your body in its 'top shape'. You see where I'm going with this?" He asked
"You bonded with me after my surgery." She said in realization.
"Exactly." Alex shrugged, "Healing mere flesh wounds and stabs is easy, I just have to mend the wounds, but complicated 'injuries' that aren't really injuries to even your body can't be dealt with so easily." He wasn't lying to get her to form a deeper bond with him. He truly couldn't heal her womb without forming a deep bond with her organs.
