With their last session for the week over, it was time for Cindy to get to work and have her lay down the groundwork for the new Stacy Industries that were going to be set up.
It was going to be based in New York and its initial product was going to target the cybernetic prosthetics market and create cybernetic limbs for the general populous. And that was going to expand into the weapons industry, making cybernetic augmentations and enhancements.
Of course, other than the harmless prosthetics, the other products would be sanctioned by the government with much stricter regulations, since this kind of technology shouldn't be available to just anyone.
It wasn't Alex's job to care about these intricacies of the business stuff. That's what he had Cindy for.
Gwen would be the founding chairman of the company while Cindy would be a shareholder and the CEO of the company.
Alex was going to develop some nice technologies and start selling them here as well as on Farm Earth and on Research Earth. Especially Research Earth, since that place was the hub of his creations and R&D.
He was already working with his Scientist Gwen on a lot of different projects with the planetary shield and the Extremis stuff having the highest priority, but it was going to take some time before they see any results.
"Do you understand why I'm doing this, Cindy?" Alex asked Cindy who was standing in front of a fully clothed Cindy.
"I understand, Alex. As long as I can be with you and Gwen I will do anything…" Cindy's eyes had a momentary faint hollow obsessive look which turned back to normal within a moment.
'I might have gone too far…' Alex shuddered when thinking about the traits of a specific character type that Cindy was showing. Though he didn't show anything outwardly.
He hooked his finger through the pitch-black choker that was on her neck and forced Cindy to look deep into his eyes.
"This will monitor your actions at all times and if I feel that you're doing something that may be detrimental to mine and Gwen's goals…" Alex trailed off as he looked at Gwen's peacefully sleeping face.
They'd just finished Cindy's last training session and Gwen was extremely tired. She'd gone through the rough training and then the rough threesome that they'd had.
Cindy faintly nodded in understanding.
"You'll feel a mild shock that will serve as a warning beacon." Alex released a mild shock through her collar to let her understand what it would be.
"Ahn~" She squirmed in her spot as she looked at Alex's face with a thirsty look.
He ignored her look and kept going, "If you keep going even after that warning shock, it will immobilize and incapacitate you. At that point, I or Gwen will come to collect you. Understood?" He confirmed with her.
"Mm-hm…" She nodded while taking hurried breaths.
Alex hadn't cared for her arousal when training her, he wasn't going to do anything about it now either.
"You understand what has to be done…" Alex questioned Cindy.
"I understand." She said
"Give me a brief." He said.
"I'll be coordinating with my people in SILK to systematically and subtly transfer all our resources to an overseas shell corporation within the week and when everything's done, I'll disappear and disband SILK." She said.
"During this same time, Gwen will be establishing Stacy Industries. When I'm done with SILK, I'll be coming over to the company as the new CEO while Gwen will take the seat of chairman." Cindy finished.
"Well, that's the gist of it. Good work, Cindy…" Alex gently smiled at her and ran his fingers through her hair.
"T-thank… you… master…" Cindy quivered and looked down shyly as her legs lightly rubbed together.
Alex smiled seeing that his conditioning was working. Cindy would always love getting praised by him.
"Good. You can get going now." Alex told her.
"Mm…?" Cindy had a hesitant look on her face.
"What is it?" He asked.
"How will I be contacting you…" She asked.
"What? Did you think I would be abandoning you? Hell no. You can come to this warehouse during the evening. Gwen's training is usually finished by then. You can join in the fun at that time…" Alex smirked as he saw through Cindy's thoughts.
After the week of unending and mind-melting pleasure that she'd experienced, it would be impossible to go back to normal for her. This was also the only reason that Gwen was so willing to let Cindy join in. Cindy's presence made things more fun for Gwen too. Though a greater reason for that is because Alex hadn't ever gone full tentacle monster on Gwen.
Alex hadn't gone all tentacle with any of the girls that he's bonded with, except for Mary Jane, but she's a different case.
He'd always taken a human form and done things within certain bounds. It was sort of because of the same reason that he'd been using his original name with everyone. He didn't want to lose his sense of self.
He'd gone from being a normal human with a normal life to being a sociopathic murderer who wouldn't blink an eye before devouring or killing someone to further his goals.
Hell, he'd even killed and devoured his favorite Spider-Man. Alex used to be a big fan of Andrew Garfield's rendition of Spider-Man. Yet he'd killed the guy just because he wanted some minor power-up.
Initially, when he started doing these things, he was completely impulsive and didn't care for the consequences of his actions. But he'd started paying attention to his actions at this point.
'I guess I'm also being influenced by Laura and Gwen's sense of heroism and good-naturedness.' Both Laura and Gwen-65 are people with very strong positive morals. Gwen was a bit more on the naive side, but Laura understood the world, yet still wanted to help everyone.
Though he was still willing to commit mass genocide, he would give some more thought to whether it was actually necessary.
"Master?" Cindy's words brought him out of his reverie.
"My bad… You should get going. You can come back whenever you want." He told her before she could ask anything more.
"Okay…" Cindy didn't say anything and gave Alex a light hug before leaving.
'Let's see if I can actually trust whether she's actually going to be helpful or if she's just going to waste my time…' Alex thought as he looked at Cindy's departing back. Her ass swayed from left to right as she walked away.
Alex had also taken away her powers completely.
She wasn't completely powerless though. She still had an enhanced physique and a weakened version of Spider-Sense. Though those powers weren't her own, they were the effect of the choker that she was wearing. Her current genome was as normal as it could get.
Alex had formed that choker to monitor her while also making sure that she wasn't completely powerless so that she could deal with what needed to be dealt with on her own. It was a really difficult process to devour her mutation without affecting her, but after a week of very invasive work, he was successful.
And he had quite a few benefits for it.

The ‹True 6th Sense› was something that he really liked. Cindy's Silk Sense was an overpowered ability, but it wasn't able to be correctly utilized in her hands since she wasn't able to maintain multiple thought streams at the same time.
Her Silk Sense would mostly get in the way of her daily activities and her normal work.
But Alex could easily deal with a 6th sense that constantly gives him some sort of signal. His consciousness was like a supercomputer. That isn't an exaggeration. He was capable of extremely fast thought processing. That's the reason he could maintain up to 160 bodies simultaneously without feeling strained. It had gone up from 150 to 160 since his consciousness was also naturally getting stronger with time.
After the week, Gwen had also gotten much stronger.
«Name: Gwen Stacy (Ghost Spider) (Earth-65)»
«Powers: Superhuman Physique (40 Tons)— Spider Sense— Wall Crawling— Bio-Electricity»
All in all, the week was very productive. Alex got a cool new stronger 6th sense ability, his physique got stronger and he also got a very competent subordinate.
Though it was to be determined whether she would be useful or if she would be no more than a liability.
At this time, Alex had finally reached another threshold with one of his hosts.
It was the Scientist Gwen Stacy in Research Earth.
"Ahh~" She moaned while pushing her face into the pillow as Alex took her from behind.

'Finally…' Alex thought as he looked at Gwen's figure under him that was glistening with sweat and a mixture of his and her own fluids.
'I want to form the level 3 bond with her…' Alex decided.
