Chapter 2 Well that explains nothing
Dean had to really push his feet to catch up to the mystery girl. Her black boots hit the wrecked concrete with a vengence. Each step was like she was trying to crack the foot-path even further.
"How did you know my name?"
"I reconized you from your picture" Venom answered curtly, not wishing to stand around and talk, not when they should be moving.
"Would you stop walking for a second"
"It's best to keep moving Dr Ambrose. Breeders are the least of your concerns"
Dean kept his feet moving, it was clear that Venom wasn't going to stop, so his questions would be answered on the move.
"What exactly is a Breeder?"
"It's like a beast. A monster under the bed." Venom tapped her chin in mild thought "Factually speakin, it's more like a wasp"
"A wasp?"
"It injects you with it's babies, makin you an egg-sack. So when the babies are born, they have somethin to eat. They lure you in with the bright orange eyes"
Bright orange reminded him of Becky, "What happened to Becky?"
"I don't know who that is"
"She was a bar-maid, she had goggles like you"
Venom let out a laugh, "I highly doubt that Dr Ambrose"
"Why?"
"Because these ain't goggles, these are my eyes"
"Right" Dean clearly didn't believe her, Venom let out an annoyed grunt. Finally for a moment she stopped, her scarred dirty hands lifting up the goggles so she could prove her point, instead of eye-balls, it was just scarred skin, like something had removed her eyes and the skin had been sewn over to stop her brain from falling out.
"What happened?"
"I told you. There are worse things than Breeders" Venom pulled her goggles back into place, "Harm our tech girl rigged these up for me, they act exactly like eyes, without them I'm blind"
"Whats worse than a monster that rapes you and makes you carry it's young"
"Zombies for one"
"Zombies?"
If Venom still had her eyes, they would be popping with dis-belief "You don't know what a Zombie is?"
"I know what it is, I just didn't know that they exsisted in this world"
"And yet it's not the worst thing out here"
"What is the worst thing out here then?"
"Oh I don't know. Me perhaps"
Dean turned around to the smooth male voice, his blue eyes widened in hope, Roman was in this messed up world too, his long black hair ran freely down his back. Instead of his usual suits he was more like a savage now. Dirt and Lord knows what else covering his shirtless torso, that tattoo shining like a bright symbol. Those grey eyes looking colder than ever.
"We don't want any trouble Reigns"
"Well if you hand over the Dr and spread your legs like a good girl, there won't be trouble"
Dean couldn't believe what he was hearing, Roman grew up in a strict Somoan family which meant he had the highest respect for women, he would never speak to a woman like she was common trash, let alone look her up and down like a peice of meat which is what he was doing now to Venom.
"Roman?"
Those grey eyes finally glared in his direction, a few broken teeth leered at Dean as he smiled. "Ah the expendable pawn!"
"No!" Venom shouted, her small body diving in front of his, her back to Roman who was firing off round after round, not a single bullet hit Dean, from what he could see they didn't hit Venom either, it was like she had an invisible shield.
"Whoo Whoo! Here comes the calvary!" The shrill screeching and rapid volley of shots seemed to scare Roman away, at least for the meantime at least, the tank-looking vehicle stopped right in front of them, a girl that looked exactly like Venom popped her head out.
"Thought you could use the help!" Her voice louder than it needed to be, her hands firing up rapid sign language.
"Thanks Izzy" Venom signed back, "Please tell me Storm is with you?"
The girl known as Storm popped up, her white hair tied up into a tight bun, those pure white eyes staring at Venom intently.
"You're hit"
"Just my vectors"
"Nothin I can't fix Venom" Storm assured her before looking to Dean. "Who's the guy?"
"Found him. He used to work at Shadyside Hospital"
Dean felt the idea stomp into his head, his body taking off before he could stop it. Perhaps whatever was going on, the answer would be at the hospital. Venom shouted after him but he kept going, the need to get answers was the only idea pounding in his head now.
"You guys go back to base, tell Harm we need another exit and a scan, I'll go and get him"
"Leave him Venom! So he dies? Who cares?"
"I can't leave him Iziah, he's the one. Now go!" Venom made sure her vectors were safely away in her back before running towards the hospital, the dull ache the bullet wounds caused could wait for the meantime, now she had to make sure Dr Ambrose didn't get himself killed.
