Eddie was sitting on a bench, head covered by his hands as his anger grew and grew. He just got fired. Since the Venom Suit was gone, Otto had to fire him as ESU stopped funding them. He looked up to see Patrick, wearing dirty, disgusting clothing and lacking any shoes. "What have you done?!"

Patrick stepped back in confusion. "Eddie listen to me!"

"I trusted you with a secret!"

"Listen to me dumbass! This thing, the Symbiote was uncontrollable. I saw what happened to Spider-Man, he couldn't control it, and sure as hell we can't!", Patrick yelled out.

"You costed me my job!", Eddie yelled out as he grabbed Patrick by his collar.

"Eddie relax!", Patrick pushed him back as Eddie's eyes widened. "I'm sorry... I know, you asked me to bring it back. I know you trusted me with this, and it's not fair to you that it was taken from me. You gotta believe me, I tried. I swear, I was gonna sit down and talk to you, but the fact of the matter is that thing, that creature is beyond what we can control. I don't know where it is, but I hope it's dead. This is a seriously fucked world we're in, currently we're in the middle of a gang war and two months before the Upper West Side was attacked by some aliens. The thing, it's unnatural, uncontrollable."

"Patrick... that's all I had left of my father.", Eddie grits his teeth as he got up.

"I know. I know.", Patrick said looking down. "But that thing isn't something we should keep around, that thing doesn't cure cancer it IS a cancer. And I've seen the incident at the Raft, if those are the same samples then we're better off without this.", he said with a sigh before smiling. "I'll tell you everything later, okay?"

Eddie looked at him with a sharp glare before pushing past him, walking away to collect his things back in the lab. "Whatever.", he scoffed

Patrick just sighed, he needed to get changed. These clothes were filthy. Although he didn't notice it... he brought a new friend with him, one with an eye for Eddie.


Eddie looked at the notes from his father, growling to himself as he crushed it in his hand. "Damn bastard! I'll fucking kill him!" He grits his teeth before he saw something black land on his hand.

He looked up, only to be met with a black goo jumping onto his face.


The black suit Spider-Man grabbed Denis Carradine by his neck and strangled him. "There's not a single place on Earth where you'll be able to hide! You killed my father!" Denis' eyes widened as Spider-Man erupted into that large, monstrous creature. "Now look at me! I want to hear you scream!"

Denis slowly turned into all the criminals he captured in his first few days as a vigilante. "I want my life back! Look at what you've done to me!", he said as a face started to push through. With Patrick himself yelling. "Look at what you've done!"

Patrick jolted up out of bed, drenched in his own sweat, grabbing his chest and panting heavily. Like he ran a marathon. "Goddammit.", he growled as he got up and looked over, he looked at his red n black's. But decided against it.

He slipped on a black shirt, grey hoodie, dark blue jeans and black boots and took off into the streets. He pulled his hoodie up as he noticed how it was pouring.

Patrick grabbed his head, it felt like he had the worse headache in existence. This didn't happen often, but when it did, it wasn't as bad as this. He looked up to see someone, obscured by the shadows before lightening struck. His eyes widened as he saw a creature, a monstrous creature standing on a roof.

He kept quiet, walking through the empty streets. Looking over and leaping into a football field. The wind blew past him as the creature landed in front of him. "Didn't think you'd still be alive.", Patrick knew this thing, he was at disbelief, yes, but he knew it was wouldn't die that easily.

The creature towered over him, it was at least seven foot but it looked shorter since it stood with a beast like stance, with a smooth oily black texture, baring a muscular build on or with the hulk and monstrous features. It's eyes were similar to his lenses, albeit longer and glossy, almost like eyes, with an elongated jaw filled with teeth and a whip like tongue, masses of black tendrils writhed about with random spikes on it. It had white stripes on his shoulder that point towards the chest. "Thank's for not wearing a mask with us, Pat. Even then, we were you.", the creature said as Patrick's eyes widened, the black flesh unraveled around the face of Eddie Brock. Who smiled at him.

"Eddie?", Patrick backed up as he took a step closer.


Hours earlier, a custodian made her way into the laboratory of ESU. Hearing groaning, she immediately ran over to see a creature, pulsing with black blisters forming on its back. "Oh my god!", she backed away.

"Soooo... c-c-cold.", it whispered, shivering violently as if it was in the Arctic.

"Oh my god. Is there someone in there? What- What's wrong with you?", the custodian asked in concern as the creature groaned.

"Cccccold."

"Can you hear me? Are you in any pain? What did you do to yourself?", The woman reached over, but tendrils lashed at her. She screamed in horror as the black mass pulled her in, she screamed louder as spikes formed around her... before she was silenced.

Suddenly, a human hand reached up. "Oh god! It's all over me!", Eddie lifted himself up, his eyes completely black as he coughed. He was completely naked. "This- this thing! Its all over me! It's trying to control me! Breathing for me- I can't feel my legs! It's in my pores! So cold. So. So cold...", Eddie was completely engulfed by the black mass.

"What is this? Am I dead? I can't feel my heart beating! The woman, I- oh god! I hurt her! Where did she go-?! I shouldn't have gone there!", Eddie thought to himself as the black mass was pulsating, trying to maintain a shape as he got up and limped through the alleyway.

"Closed!", a man at a hotdog cart said annoyed.

"Oh c'mon man. You've got to have more dogs.", a young man, possibly in college cocked an eyebrow.

"C'mon man we're starving."

"Give me a fucking break! It's raining you dumbasses!", the cart owner scratched his head.

"I'll double the price."

"Closed."

"Triple it."

"Listen asshat, it's raining and I'm going home."

The female in the group laughed. "C'mon man, where's your sense of adventure?"

"Uh, guys.", the other man in the group of college students pointed at the alleyway as they saw something. "What is that?"

"I don't know, maybe a dog-?!", she was cut off as the creature stepped out, towering over them and shooting tendrils at them. Attempting to pull them into him.

They all screamed in horror, but they were soon released as the creature roared and grabbed its head. "What is this?!My minds on fire!", Eddie screamed as he was bombarded with memories that weren't his.

"You! On the ground now!", a sable agent arrived with comrades, the creature looked back at them. "What the hell is that thing! Open fire!", he yelled as they all did as such.

The creature roared and leapt at them, grabbing one and folding them in half before throwing them away. Tendrils lunged out as he consumed them, they all kept firing until another was eaten. It was at that point, the creature stopped and leapt away. Landing on a rooftop. "What is this thing... what... I'm a monster. This Black, it's breathing for me, thinking for me... I need something. Just let it, let it, the power... I'm missing something.", Eddie looked at his now black clawed hands, they briefly flashed into what looked like Spider-Man's gloves. Eddie got on his knees as he was bombarded with the last pieces of information.

"Spider-Man!", Eddie internally yelled as the creature responded by doing the same. "I see it now. You're the Venom Suit, you were on Patrick, and now you know everything about him. Patrick is Spider-Man. And this suit, it's telling me what it needs, it needs Parker. He has something we need... heh. Look at me now, all this power, all this strength I have. Anything Patrick could do, I can, and much better.", Eddie narrated to himself as he swung through the city, shooting black webbing from his fingers and arriving at the window of Anne's apartment.

Eddie sighed as he saw her sleeping figure, smiling underneath the suit. He knew what he needed to do, the way he was now; he was a danger to her... but if he got Parker. He'll be set.

He was going to consume Patrick.
