Ali :"(Hey, Nat.)"
Natasha :"Hm? What's up?"
Ali :"(You said that surnames are based on things like physical features or things that someone has done, right?)"
Natasha :"Yeah, why do you ask?"
Ali :"(... What does Dickinson mean?)"
Natasha :"..."
Ali :"(... Nat...)"
Natasha :"..."
Ali :"(... You humans are disgusting...)"

"So? What the hell is going on?" Natasha asked Bruce who was running tests on the corpse of the lizard. After they got back, Natasha went to find them immediately after she calmed down from Ali's mischievous play.
And currently, all of the Avengers were in Bruce's lab, waiting for him to finish with the tests. Tony and Vision were also helping him with getting things done faster.
Bruce sighed as he looked at the computer in front of him :"From the quick tests that we took, that thing, is just like the Lizard, Dr Curtis Connors." Causing Natasha to frown :"What? Does that mean that it is a human that was turned into a lizard?"
"Not exactly." He shook his head as he pressed a few buttons and three animated DNAs appeared on the screen :"These are the DNAs of humans, lizards, and that thing.
The DNA of that lizard somewhat resembles that of a human, however, it's still a lizard's. But Dr Connors's DNA, even though turned into a lizard's, was still mostly human, just changed a bit. But that thing, still has the DNA of a lizard."
Tony butted into the conversation while playing with a pen :"Basically, that's a normal lizard that somehow mutated. So you don't need to feel bad about killing it. Also, why did you brutalize it like that? You really went a little Mortal Kombat on the poor thing."
"It wasn't us." Natasha said and Tony grew confused, but he was left speechless when Ali spoke up :"It was the work of my daughter and her host."
Tony :"..."
Bruce :"..."
Wanda :"..."
Everybody else :"..."
"... Uhh... What now?" Tony asked the million dollar question with curled lips :"... Oh boy, as if one wasn't enough... Now he has a kid..."
Wanda folded her arms with a glare at Ali :"I get that you didn't tell others, but don't you think you should've told me, your best friend?"
Ali shrugged with a neutral face :"I would've, if I knew sooner. We also found out about it just today... It bonded with Black Cat, our date today, last night when Natasha was fighting her while we didn't notice."
"Excuse me, so you just get pregnant suddenly and don't realize it?" Tony raised his eyebrows in a judging manner before Ali rolled his eyes :"Bitch, screw you.
Put yourself in my place. How old do you think I am?! I'm not even three months old! Do you think I was prepared to get pregnant while being a newborn myself by your standards?!"
"Wait, what do you mean you'd get pregnant?" Steve asked before a blush grew on his face :"... Isn't it supposed to be Natasha since you two have been... Cough cough..."
The two of them looked at him speechlessly before Tony shrugged :"Well, you two haven't really been keeping it quite when you were fucking. I honestly have to make the rooms more soundproof at this point.
But hey, we're not judging you, Romanoff. I'm not one to judge someone based on their kinks or tastes. So you don't need to be embarrassed about wanting to fuck a monster."
Natasha rolled her eyes dramatically as she gave Tony the middle finger :"Put a sock on it, Stark. And no, Steve, I'm not the one who got pregnant. Ali's species, the Symbiotes, reproduce asexually.
That's why he was the one who got pregnant. But we didn't find out till his child bonded with the person that we fought yesterday, Black Cat."
"Black Cat?" Tony raised an eyebrow as he leaned back in his chair :"That's who you went on a date with? Well, I can't blame you. She is really hot. But hold on a second here. We're not going to have another Carnage going around, trying to murder his dad, right?"
Ali clicked his tongue in refusal as he shook his head :"Nah, no need to worry about that. Surprisingly, we don't have any hate or resentment for each other."
Tony raised an amused eyebrow as he smirked :"Surprisingly? Why do you say that? I always thought Carnage and Venom were a special case because of their hosts or something."
"Nope." Ali sighed through his teeth in annoyance :"Honestly, it's actually pretty normal for us Symbiotes to be at each other's throats. Especially between parent and child.
Most often than not, either the parent really wants to off the child, or the other way around. My dad was planning to kill me even before I was born.
But I luckily survived and tried to get as far away as possible. Which led me to Earth, and then to Natasha, and then you know the rest." <That is actually what happened to him before he came to Earth>
"Aww, my poor friend. It must've been hard..." Wanda cooed as she patted his head before he smirked at her :"Nah, I guess I actually got lucky that he wanted to kill me.
Since if he hadn't, I wouldn't have escaped to Earth, where I met Natasha, who is literally, physically, my perfect host. And besides, you know I'm not one to let grudges and revenges slide. Heh, I'll make sure to get back at that bastard and his asshole of a host."
Tony hummed curiously as he looked at Ali :"So who's your dad anyway? Do we know that Symbiote?" And Ali clicked his tongue in annoyance as he looked away :"Nah, I don't think so. But it's better for you all to stay in the dark for now. You may find out one day, or maybe not."
Tony shrugged nonchalantly :"Alright, fine. So anyway, does that mean that this daughter of yours isn't going to come for you and Romanoff's ass?"
"Nope, that's what's surprising." Ali shrugged :"We don't have any hatred towards each other, nor do we want to kill or harm each other. In fact, we were actually getting along. That's kind of an achievement for Symbiotes."
Tony nodded before Steve looked at Ali with a bit of seriousness :"That's towards you. She isn't going to wreak havoc, is she? Black Cat is a criminal, after all."
Ali shrugged with a nonchalant look :"Don't know, don't care. I'm already satisfied with not being at each other's throats. I don't want to give her a reason to hate me by going after her host.
Believe me, we Symbiotes really don't have that much emotional attachment towards each other. Even if we're parent and child, she may still fight me if I tried to harm her host.
I may be her parent, but to us Symbiotes, our hosts are like our second halves. We won't let anybody hurt them. Even if the being who wants to hurt them is our parent."
Steve frowned as he sighed :"But still, letting a criminal that has become that dangerous do whatever she wants is still problematic... Since she is your daughter, she must definitely be strong..."
"Hahahaha! She is strong, alright!" A huge, smug smile appeared on Ali's demonic face as he bragged in his deep and raspy voice :"She can definitely fold your ass in less than a second, Steve!
And I'm not just bragging, she is able to lift at least 100 tons (100000 kg) and can go at about Mach 4 (3069 mph = 4939 kph) for all I know! Also, I think she can still grow, so you better not mess with her.
Since if she's anything like me, she is definitely vengeful enough to get back at anybody who messed with her~."
Tony, who had quite a few memories of Ali getting back at him, shivered before he waved his hand dismissively :"Yeah yeah, whatever! As far as I know, Black Cat is only a thief.
She doesn't have any records of going on a rampage, and even death by her hands is a little rare. I don't care if she just goes and steals a bunch of things from a bunch of rich assholes as long as it's not me."
Some of the members sighed judgingly at him before Steve looked at Natasha :"Romanoff, since Ali doesn't want to do anything to get his daughter's hatred, can I ask you to do something?
I'm not telling you to try and stop her, arrest her or try to harm her. I'm asking you to try and see if you can pull her into our side. With her skills, she could already be a great help to us. But now that she is this powerful, she will definitely be a valuable and versatile member like yourself."
Natasha thought about it for a moment before she nodded :"Alright, I will try. But I'm not going to promise anything. If she doesn't want to join us, we're not going to force her."
Steve nodded with a grateful smile :"Thanks, that's already more than enough. It would be such a waste if someone with so much potential wasted her talent on petty thievery."
Just as the subject was dropped, Clint, who was sitting on a chair backwards with his chin on the chair's back raised his hand :"Hey, ali?"
The ever Adaptable Symbiote raised an eyebrow as he turned to the bow using hero :"Whatcha want, birdie?" <I'm going to try and see if I can write like this instead of just using names. Or do you just want it to stay that way?>
The blond male smiled excitedly like a child :"Can I call dibs on your next child?" Causing the alien lifeform to frown :"Bitch, is my child a slice of pizza for you to call dibs on it?"
The blue eyed, childish man chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck :"Well, it's kinda exciting to think how powerful a normal person can get from bonding with a simple Symbiote.
Forget about you and your children who are literally premium Symbiotes! I mean, just look at how freakishly strong Natasha has gotten after bonding with you!"
The bond and host looked at the Robin Hood hero speechlessly before the witch of the team snorted warningly :"Stop that, Clint. It's ridiculous to want his children."
Seeing how she defended him, the slime-like alien smiled. But his smile immediately dropped at the auburn haired beauty's next words and smile :"He will obviously let his next child bond with me, his best friend! Why would he let YOU bond with his child when I'm around?"
The archer's face twitched before he folded his arms :"Maybe because I'm the best friend of his host? Causing Scarlet Witch to snort with an eyeroll :"Oh please.
Nat here is sensible enough to know that she shouldn't let Ali's children bond with you. Ali has already told us that a Symbiote's personality is based on their first host. Do you really think he'd let you bond with his child?"
His frown got deeper as he snorted :"What's wrong with me?! I'm such a nice guy! I'm sure that a Symbiote who bonds with me will definitely have a great and kind personality!"
"Heh, yeah, as if." She said with a roll of her green eyes as the two of them continued arguing. "These two... Dumbasses..." Ali sighed before Bruce chuckled and looked at the redhead :"Natasha, this whole thing is probably related to Dr Connors, Lizard.
Why don't you two go and see what he is up to while me, Tony and Vision stay back and see if we can revert this lizard back to a normal one. Also, try to see if you can capture one of these alive so we can run some tests on it."
The host of the overpowered slime-like alien nodded calmly :"Alright, just give me the address and we will hit the road." And the scientist nodded seriously :"I know that it's probably not needed, but be careful."
The two of them nodded before two different sounds shouted at them :"Ali!" And once the black liquid lifeform turned with a frown at the two that were still at it.
"What?" He growled in a bad mood, but the two ignored it as they asked aggressively :"Who will you let your next child bond with?!"
"..." Ali was speechless before he snorted in annoyance :"Neither of you. You both can go fuck yourselves if you think I will let any of my precious children bond with you two dumbasses."
