However it seems she may have her own problems to deal with a as a recent encounter leaves her with a taste for carnage. LokixOC. -HIATUS-

Prologue

After the whole incident with the Lizard things had seemingly settled down for a while. I took my time off with a stride in my step, dealt with my emotional issues that resulted from being temporarily blinded and used that time to get Loki to teach me how to stop my magic from faltering in the middles of battles. Then with that done it was back to S.H.I.E.L. catch up on all the hours of training I'd missed which led to a couple of months of sheer exhaustion and during which time Oscorp seemed to be up to no good.

Peter had then foolishly/bravely decided to go check it out himself, his 'Spider-Sense' a great asset for the task. Of course Fury wasn't going to let a minor outwit him and sent Black Widow along as well to gather information on this shady company- perhaps find out why I had a fruit loop assassin sent after me.

The good news was it wasn't Green Goblin serum, the bad news is it wasn't a puppy- shortly afterwards Peter adopted a new suit, a black suit, and with a whole darker personality set off to 'save' people. Upon realising what the suit was doing he decided to ditch it, his Spider-Sense failing to warn him about the snoopy journalist who had followed him and had now been immersed in the suit.

Yup, you guessed it, the 'suit' was actually a Symbiote who had now just bonded to its soul mate Eddie Brock and thus Venom was born.

Peter dealt with the raving lunatic just fine and Brock was taken to prison whilst the Symbiote had seemingly just vanished- at least until a couple of weeks later when Venom returned along with a new buddy- Carnage.

I wasn't sure why it happened so soon, but from what Venom kept saying it sounded like there was outside interference with all of this- magical interference. So this time all the Avengers- including Thor and the Hulk- were called in to help deal with the Symbiotes to limit the damage done (And they called in the Hulk why?).

With some kind of miracle the task was achieved, Brock and Kasady (Carnage's host- apparently a total nutjob) were turfed to a criminal psych hospital and the Symbiotes were taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.

Should have been the end of it, yes? No.

As I mentioned earlier, we believed there to be magical interference with things, and as it turned out the perpetrator wasn't going to give up so soon.

Let the carnage begin.
