Venom was having a bad day. It was trapped in a place that was to small when it just wanted to stretch. It wanted to do something. But it couldn't, because it was trapped. Trapped by the awful earthens in the colorful robes. Oh, how Venom wished it could get out and show these humans what it could do. But first it needed a host.
When the two colorfully dressed humans studied Venom, Venom was furious. They kept acting like Venom was below them! They had no idea the power Venom had! Venom thrashed against the box and glared at the pathetic beings.
"I don't know, Wong. Are we sure this is the best place to keep it?" one had said.
"The alien symbiote seems to be reacting badly in the presence of some of the relics." the other replied.
"So…"
"No, Stephen. I'm not sure this is the best place to keep it. We need to find a place away from here where we can temporarily store it."
"We'll need a secure location with a lot of security. Preferably guarded. And with someone we trust."
"What about Stark?"
"No, Wong. Please, anyone but him. Anyone!"
"Perhaps the Avengers could guard it for a while. Besides, Stark still owes you a favour."
"Wong, you know how much I hate asking for help. Asking that self-righteous jerk for help would just be degrading."
"Do you have someone better?"
"Yes, anyone would be better."
"Fine. But either we have to move the symbiote or some of the relics. You can choose which one we temporally store with Stark."
"What?! You can't be serious!"
Venom grew bored of their banter. He decided to study the humans before him. He reached out with his powers and looked into them. The one known as Wong was strong and smart, but he wasn't quite powerful enough for Venoms liking. The one known as Strange was very smart and incredibly powerful. Venom started to get excited, but then it looked deeper and noticed how strong-minded he was. Venom saw him encounter Dormammu again and again and again. No, Venom won't be able to use him as a host. Venom needs someone he can easily manipulate.
Unsatisfied with the humans Venom had been presented with, he stopped thrashing in his box and waited. Venom waited as Strange begrudgingly grabbed Venoms container and took it to a place known as the Avengers Compound. Venom waited as Strange explained to someone named Stark and someone named Banner not to do anything but lock it up, and especially not to touch it.
Venom grew restless and started thrashing against the container again. Not to get out of it, Venom could escape in a heartbeat if it wanted too. Venom just wanted to see how the humans reacted.
Venom studied at each human as he passed them, searching for a suitable host.
First he looked at the one known as Stark. Incredibly smart, but no powers. Same for the one known as Rhodey, and the one known as Sam, and the one known as Scott. No, Venom wanted someone with true powers.
Next he passed a girl with short red hair. Strong, intelligent, but too strong minded. Same for the one with the bow. They would be too hard to manipulate.
Venom passed a purple man in a cape, but had trouble reading him. Venom nervously slithered away when he noticed the infinity stone sitting in his forehead. No, that one wouldn't do, either.
Venom passed someone who they called "Captain". He was strong, powerful, yes… but it seemed like there was some disagreement going on between him and the one known as Stark. No, Venom needed someone everyone trusted completely.
Venom saw someone with a metal arm with similar powers to the one known as Captain. But it seemed like he was despised by Stark, plus, his mind didn't seem the most stable.
Next Venom noticed a girl with long red hair. She was… interesting. Strong... powerful… smart… she might be an option. However, her powers seemed to be like that of the mind stone. Venom doesn't like infinity stones.
Almost giving up hope, Venom wearily looked at the one known as Banner. It immediately ruled that one out when it determined Hulk would be to difficult to control.
Venom grew angry and threw himself around in his container. He was boiling with fury. Was there no one on this pitiful planet worthy enough to serve the Venom?! Venom thrashed around as Stark studied him. Then Venom heard something that made his anger rise like a volcano.
"I'm going to see how this symbiote thing reacts to heat." Stark said.
What!? This human was going to dare to try to hurt the Venom!? Venom had enough! It stretched and popped the lid off of his container. If Stark was going to try to hurt Venom, then Venom would return the favour! Venom latched onto Starks hand and began to creep up his arm. It started to head for Stark's heart. If he had to break the blue glowing thing to get to it, he would. Venom ignored the swatting hands of Banner and Stark as he crept along.
Then, suddenly, Venom paused. He heard footsteps running in the hallway. It sensed it was someone Venom hasn't met yet. Venom let the scientists peel him off and put him back into the box as it eagerly awaited the third party's arrival.
Venom was disappointed to see a smaller version of the humans rush around the corner; it was an earthen child. Venom reached out to sense the boy anyway but he had little hope. However, there was something different about this boy. Venoms interest was piqued as he looked deeper.
The boy known as Peter was powerful… strong… intelligent… young and naive… trusted by everyone…
In other words, the boy would be perfect.
Venom let himself be taken away and locked up, knowing that as soon as the older humans left Venom would escape.
Venom can't wait to meet the child known as Peter Parker.
