A Touch Of Venom
Chapter III

Mya was enjoying have Venom for a friend. It was very interesting because he was considered to be dangerous and lethal. But with her, he was not as dangerous as he could be. Spiderman, however, was not convinced. He had been watching her from a distance and he felt that she was definitely not safe. He waited until night fall and knocked on her window.

"Spiderman?!"

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but I wanted to let you know a little about your friend. Venom is dangerous and he doesn't mean anyone any good. Be careful with him," Spiderman warned.

"But he saved me! He helped me to feel better when I was really sick."

"Just heed my warning, miss," Spiderman said softly. He then disappeared into the night. Mya was thinking over his words carefully when she felt a clawed hand on her shoulder. She squeaked and jumped about seven inches off the ground.

"Wow…now is that any way to greet your doctor?" A voice cooed. She spun around and saw that she was face to face with Venom. She let out a sigh of relief and then explained that Spiderman was there.

"Spiderman is a fool. Why would I harm someone like you?" He said nonchalantly.

"I guess he is just checking on me. Now, how is your cut doing?" She asked.

"It's better," he replied.

"Well, turn around so that I can make sure that you're telling me the truth!"

"Who says I'm lyin'?"

"I know you well enough by now to lie when you don't want to be touched Venom," Mya combated. He rolled his eyes and then turned around. She grimaced at what she saw. The cut was still a bit infected and it needed to be redressed. She picked up the cloth and began to wash his back again. But then she noticed that he had similar cuts on his legs and arms.

"Wow! You need to stop fighting!"

"Like that's ever gonna happen…," he snarled. She then smacked his wound. "OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!"

"For being a jerk! I was only trying to help you!"

"Maybe I don't need your help, Mya…," he hissed. His words stung and then Mya turned around and angrily walked up the stairs towards her room. Venom typically didn't care what others thought, but for some reason he felt…sorry? He slowly followed her and saw that the door was locked.

"Open the door…," he said softly.

"Go away…," the voice replied. It sounded like she had been trying to hold back her tears.

"I won't ask again…do as I say," he commanded.

"YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME! I DON'T FOLLOW ANYONE'S RULES!" She lashed out. At that moment, she saw him push her door open and the locks fell off. She then held a bat in her hand to protect herself.

"Don't be a little fool…I won't hurt ya," he said softly. Once he got close enough, he grabbed the bat from her hands and threw her over his shoulder.

"PUT ME DOWN! LET ME GO!" Mya panicked. He ignored her pleas and took her to her bathroom. Her bathtub was unusually large so he began to fill it with semi-cool water. Once it was filled up, he gently placed her in it.

"I DON'T NEED A BATH! NOW MY CLOTHES ARE SOAKED!"

"No…but you do need to cool down…" he chuckled. She angrily tried to get out, but he put his hands on her shoulders and forced her to sit down. He saw her fever was starting up again and he gently placed a wet cloth on her forehead. She looked at him with angry and confused eyes.

"Are you calmer now?" He asked.

"Why should you care? As far as I'm concerned, you don't care about me and you get angry when I try to help you!"

"Mya, will you be quiet! Look, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings," he said. He then got in the tub with her which made her eyes pop open in surprise. He then turned and had his back towards her and he handed her the stuff she needed to clean his wounds.

"Well…are you waitin' on an invitation? You said you needed to clean my wounds," he smiled cockily as he looked at her over his shoulder.

"B-But this doesn't…I mean…I shouldn't be…,"

"Oh please…it's not like we're taking a bath together. I just need you to clean my wounds and you needed the coolness of the water to get that fever down," he said in a nonchalant manner. She nodded and then began to clean his wounds. He groaned and once she was done, he got out and then helped her out. Her clothes were soaked and she was about to get a towel when she felt him wrap one around her.

"Here…you need to dry off and then I will see to your fever," he replied softly. He then walked out with a towel over his shoulder. Mya blushed at what just happened, but she quickly changed clothes and dried off. Once she went back in the living room, she saw him lying on the sofa. He slowly looked at her and cocked a curious brow.

"Well? What are ya staring at, kid?"

"I'm not a kid!"

"Sure you're not…," he teased. Mya then turned around and had her back to him. She heard him laughing softly in amusement and then she squeaked when she felt him wrap his hands around her waist and pull her towards his chest. She was nervous, but he placed her hands on his shoulders.

"Easy… I just want a massage Mya. When you're done, maybe I will return the favor," he smiled. Mya was about to lean up and kiss him when she heard someone laughing evilly at the window. She turned and saw Carnage laughing up a storm.

"You like a puny human!" He laughed out. "She's worthless! She wouldn't even be worth anything for a hostage!"

"SHUT UP!" Venom snarled. He then went outside the window and he and Carnage argued. It wasn't long before Venom forced him to leave. Once Venom came back inside, he saw how frustrated Mya was and embarrassed. She sat on the sofa with her face in her hands and she felt a clawed hand on her shoulder.

"Now what's gotten you upset?"

"N-Nothing…I just need rest!"

"You're lyin'…I hate it when people lie to me…," he growled. He then took her face gently in his hands and kissed her. She at first began to panic, but he gripped her harder. He then slid his tongue in her mouth and let his tongue massage inside her mouth, but she murmured in fear.

"Easy…it's alright…now rest," he said. He pulled her to him and let her lay on his chest.

"B-But you just kissed me…" she stuttered. He then put a clawed finger to her mouth.

"I know…," he smiled. She then fell asleep and he gently kissed her on the forehead. Even though he knew this girl for only a short time, he felt something for her. Something stronger than anything he had ever felt before.
