Chapter 180 Chapter 0180: Foolish Determination
A few minutes before the bombing. On the highest floor of a commercial skyscraper in the middle of Manhattan.
There was a knock on Cindy's office door, "Come in," She said.
She was standing and facing her window, admiring the New York Skyline as she allowed the newcomer to enter without seeing who it was. She was wearing a black suit with a hobble skirt that hugged her legs down to her knees along with high heels and stockings. She was sporting a professional yet beautiful office lady look.
"What's the brief, Hans?" Cindy asked before the newcomer could even say anything.
Seemingly used to her unusual nature, the man, now identified as Hans, answered, "The military isn't willing to relent. They want our tech along with all our research and they aren't willing to let us keep it. There is no middle ground to speak of. They will put us through twists and turns, but our patents won't be approved and they will instead claim all our research as sensitive information."

Cindy clicked her tongue, "Our foundation is still too shallow. A company like Stark Industries would have no problem negotiating a partnership with the military. We have too little leverage over them."
The man didn't say anything, but his agreement was evident.
As Cindy's monologue continued, she felt something triggering her sixth sense — formerly known as her Silk Sense, but after Alex took it for himself, she was relying on a slightly weaker version that had similar effects provided by the subtle choker on her neck. When she looked down to the streets, it was easy for her to focus on a speeding van even from the sixtieth floor of the skyscraper. That van was quickly approaching their building and didn't seem to have any other destination.
"No..." She whispered to herself as she saw the van scraping against another car while continuing its approach, "Hans, sound the emergency alarm!" Cindy shouted, "Tell everyone to take cover and escape through the back if possible!" Hans didn't even have the time to question anything as he saw Cindy place her hand on the floor-to-ceiling window that was made of bulletproof glass. In the next moment, the glass was full of cracks. Cindy further pushed her hand forward and the cracked glass fell apart as the broken shards fell to the ground.
"Quickly!!" She said with urgency before jumping out of the broken window. Her Silk suit automatically formed around her as she fell down and fired her web at the approaching van to pull herself toward it.
Just as her web attached to the van, Cindy yanked her arm, bringing herself toward it and using her entire weight to disrupt the van's motion to some extent. She shot her other web just as she pulled the van and repeated the motion with both webs as she tried to pull the van upward and stop its approach toward the building.
This time she somewhat succeded as the van was pulled up from its four wheels and its movements were slowed down. As it fell back on the ground, Cindy dropped on the hood of the van before shooting as many webs as she could to the surrounding buildings to push back the van. It was then that she had the chance to look inside. There was no one inside the van. Both seats were empty and the van seemed to be working with some kind of a remote control.
[You know me, Alex...] She said, [I can't just stand like this when I know that the people out there need me... Plus, I'm kinda looking forward to being denied orgasms for a while, it'll probably teach me to appreciate your sadistic kind of love a bit more...] She quipped as she let out a groan, feeling even more debris pressing down on her.
Her current physique grade was somewhere around three hundred metric tons at Peak Superhuman. With the five times enhancement of the level three bond, she could breach low cosmic strength easily. But it was still not enough to hold up the thousands of tons of concrete that she was currently holding up.
[Fucking moron...] Alex shook his head at her, but still decided to accept her request. He could distinctly feel just how determined she was to go through with this and if he didn't let her, it would cause her to truly resent him for a while, and he didn't want a repeat of his other Gwen happening with this one.
[But I'm your moron...] Gwen said telepathically with a cute tone as she almost staggered when the weight increased further due to even more debris falling down on top of her.
[Make that two months of edging...] Alex said in her head and before Gwen could come up with a reply, she felt her blood boiling. Since Alex wasn't actually bonded to her blood, the enhancement factor was lower than the two times boost that she would've gotten in that case. But what she got was enough to give her the strength to free herself. She quickly pushed up the rubble while webbing up as much as she could. Along with some help from Alex's tentacles and using them as makeshift pillars, she was able to temporarily hold up the rubble such that the building's imminent collapse would be delayed enough.
Just as she made sure that the building wouldn't collapse within the next few minutes, she moved out from the side and propelled herself to the fifth floor, which was still intact. Three of Alex's clones were already working on evacuating the people there, but the numbers were still too much for him. Just this single floor had almost two hundred people. Considering the sixty floors in the building, Gwen and Alex had to clear out upwards of ten thousand people from the building.
"No rest for the Spider Menace..." Gwen couldn't think very straight due to the feeling of her blood literally boiling to boost her stats, but randomly quipping seemed to be ingrained into her instincts. Even then, she didn't hesitate before diving into the building and quickly coordinating with Alex's clones to gather up the people on the fifth floor that was showing signs of cracking.
Within thirty seconds, just as Gwen pulled out the last set of survivors from the floor, it collapsed.
