Thank you for reviews. Here is the next chapter. I have some problems to find good villains, but I have a little idea for the main antagonist.

Warning : I do not own Toxin, Carnage, Venom, Spider-Man or the Kingpin, neither their related. They're all proprerty of Marvel Comics.

Chapter 1 : Playtime

Police officer Patrick Mulligan finally go back home, in a very fine mood. Once time more, he had a very good day. On the three robbery he had to stop, no one managed. And he had only to use Toxin for the last...

Ten month. Almost Ten month had passed since he had crossed the way of Cletus Kassady, a cruel and psychopathic serial killer wearing a "symbiote", an alien, living suit who made him a horrible, powerful monster. The villain knew as Carnage.

Kassady's symbiote was "pregnant". But Carnage couldn't bear the idea, fearing that his future spawn would be more powerful than him. And he couldn't stop the birth. So, as soon as the new young symbiote was born, he implanted it into Mulligan, swearing to kill them both later.

At first, Pat didn't exactly understand what had happened to him. But then, his symbiote, named Toxin, matured enough to gain conciousness and form a suit around him. He then realized that this thing endanger his family, as Carnage attacked his wife, Gina and their son, Edward, in an intend to kill him. Using his own symbiote, and partially with Spider-Man's and Black Cat's help, Pat was able to defeat Carnage and his symbiotic father, Venom. But then, he had to temporary get away from Gina and Edward to protect then from his symbiote's aggressivity. He then helped Spider-Man to capture and put back in jail various villains, including King Cobra, the Wrecker, Piledriver and Razor-fist. The last one killed Jim, Pat's father, but Pat eventually found a way to co-operate peacefully with his symbiote. He was then able to go back to his family, and explained them why he walked out.

Now, his life was fine. Everything hasn't gone back to normal, of course, but he was at least again with his family, and has no more to much problems dealing with Toxin. He had reintegrated the police, giving him more ease to find and track criminel before capturing them as Toxin if he couldn't as himself. No one know about it, except for his wife and his old friend, Paul, who has promised to not tell anybody. Though Pat didn't really trusted him, as it was partially Paul's fault if Razor-Fist was able to kill his father, he hadn't revealed the secret yet.

Pat finally arrived to home. Gina welcomed him with a kiss on the cheek.

- Good day, Pat ?

- Fine. Where's Edward ?

- Sleeping.

Pat look at his watch, and realized it was already nine o'clock.

- Sorry. I'm loosing notion of time since a few days...

- No problem. I keeped some food for us...

The dinner was as quiet sa usual. Pat and Gina didn't have any real fight since he came back. She was just a little scaried at the beginning, but she now quite accepted her husband's double-life. However, she prefered to not talk too much about the symbiote, and had insisted for not telling it yet to their young son. Pat had easily agreed : he didn't want his young son to be involved in such dangerous stuff, especially when he could already himself become a danger...

As they finished their dinner, Pat heard a voice in his head.

- Pat...

Pat stopped eating and raise his head.

- Toxin ?

Gina look at him, guessing what was happening.

- I'm boring, Pat... I want to go outside a little...

- Can't you wait two hours again ?

- Come on, please... You have been controlling all the day... And you promised me playtime...

- Okay, Toxin. Just let me a few second to explain myself.

He then turned to Gina.

- He want to go outside. And I promised him... I'm sorry, but I must.

- No problem. Just try to not come back to late, this time... And be careful.

- Don't worry...

Pat stood up and went to the window, wich he opened. Slowly, a red substance merged from his skin and covered his body. His red and blue suit appeared, in his ordinary, mouthless and less muscled form, as he was when he was not fighting.

- ... I will be.

Toxin then jumped, shooting a symbiotic web, and disappear in the night.

*********************

Toxin was jumping between building, using his web to hang himself on building. As usual, Pat had agreed to let him every day two hours, during when he would be able to control him as he wanted. The only rules were to no commit robbery or homicide. At first, Toxin wasn't especially happy about this agreement, but he now had get used to it.

He finally stopped on the top of a bulding, looking around him and thinking how he could have fun this night. This was then he saw an explosion downstairs.

- What was that ?

Urged by his curiosity, the symbiote go down from the building, using his ability to change his color to camouflage himself. Hooded men were running to their cars, carrying large bag. Robbery was just to obvious, even for the childish alien.

- Quite interesting... I don't think Pat will be angry if I prevent myself a robbery. After all, that what he always do... All I have to do is to not killed them.

As he though about it, his form begun to change : he became more muscled, and his mouth appear, with his vicious, scary fangs. Slowly, he come near the thieves...

The men couldn't see Toxin coming because of his camouflage, and they were too busy for that anyway.

- Hurry up, guys! said one of them. The Kingpin want us to bring all of that you know where...

As he spoke, Toxin approached him by behind, and, taking his original colours back, grapped him with one hand.

- What...

Before he could say anything more, Toxin threw him in another, knoking both of them out. Others turn to face him and drew their gun. But the alien was faster, and begun to shoot web, immobilizing most of them before they could fire. He then grabbed the last one with his right hand, as tendrils elongated around his left hand, forming something as an ax blade...

The symbiote stopped himself. He couldn't do that. He had promised Pat he wouldn't killed anybody during his playtime. He had already disobeyed before, and nothing good had happenned then. Even for a thief, Pat probably wouldn't agree...

Growling, Toxin just knoked out the thief. Hearing the cops' siren, he he jump and crawled a wall, going away.

I stopped here. As I promised, this chapter is quite longer than before. Sorry there aren't any real villain yet, but I have to think about it. But I promised I will introduce a new and powerful ennemi for Toxin.
