"So this is your new workplace?" said Peter as he entered the soup kitchen wherein Eddie worked.

"Yeah," said Brock, "part of my never-ending quest to make up for the sins I committed with the suit."

"Oh and speaking of suits, have you figured out where the new one came from yet?"

"'Fraid not."

"What are you guys talking about?" said a man from behind the counter.

"Nothing much, Mr. Li." said Eddie.

"Then you can get back to work, and maybe your friend can help."

"Would you mind?" said Brock.

"Not at all," said Peter, "I am capable, so I'm morally obliged to do so."

"Oh, I should probably warn you, Mr. Li's mindset isn't exactly desirable."

"What do you mean?"

"Watch. Mr. Li, did you hear about that thing with the Carnage symbiote?"

"Yeah." said Li.

"What do you think about it?" said Eddie

"I think we're all doomed."

"See, Peter."
"You really should be a bit more optimistic, Mr. Li." said Peter.

"I can't help it," said Li, "that's just the way I am."

"Whatever you say, Mr. Li."

"Sergeant Thompson," said Steve Rogers, head of Project: Rebirth 2.0, "in just a few minutes you will be exposed to an alien life form that will not only regenerate your legs, but will also increase your strength, speed, agility, and stamina, as well as give you superpowers like those of Spider-Man. Are you prepared for that much power?"

"I am, sir." said Flash.

"Good. The bonding will begin now." Steve opened the lid on the jar containing the newly genetically altered symbiote. Once out, the symbiote noticed the legless man, and instantly pitied him. Acting on impulse, it bonded itself to him. The costume coated itself over his body and shaped a fair portion of itself into legs. The final product, however, would not be instantly recognized as Venom. The suit looked more like a black-ops uniform than anything else. The mask covered his entire face with the exception of his eyes and mouth, and the costume was a full body suit with ammo belts criss-crossing over his chest, connected to the guns on his hips, which resembled M4-Carbines. When he tried them out, however, they fired web balls instead of the standard .223 caliber bullets.

"Now," said Rogers, "for your first assignment. There is another symbiotic union on the loose. Based upon information provided by Venom it is mentally unstable to the point where the host has no control over the symbiote. Your mission is to take it down."

"Roger that, Rogers." said Flash before swinging off.
