Disclaimer: I own nothing except my OC Ryn and the many alterations in the storyline and DC: Justice League universe her very presence provides.
I Am Ryn Chapter 1
The blaring sound originating from the alarm clock on the nightstand near her bed is enough to wake Ryn from whatever deep slumber she'd fallen into the night before.
Reaching out a hand from underneath the covers Ryn fumbles around until she eventually locates the incredibly annoying yet necessary clock. Ryn presses the snooze button on it and the clock becomes silent. Ryn tosses the pillow off of her head unveiling some bedhead and releases a loud yawn.
Ryn wants to go back to sleep, but a voice in her subconscious tells her otherwise.
"If you don't get up I'll devour your kidneys."
Ryn rolls her eyes, throwing the covers off as she got out of bed.
"You say that everyday and yet you still haven't done so by now. I doubt you're ever going to go through with it," groaned Ryn, heading to the bathroom in order to freshen up.
Ryn encountered the extraterrestrial symbiote Venom almost a year ago. You see Ryn had just left another failed job search when she encountered a homeless man asking passerby's for some spare change. While Ryn was on her last legs financially she still can't resist handing someone in need a few coins. As Ryn handed the money over that's when Venom struck. The homeless man's eyes glazed over white and Venom transferred his essence through to her in an instant, inadvertedly leaving the homeless man dead on the street.
You see unlike regular humansVenom requires a healthy and viable host in order to survive here on Earth. The problem is that the people he'd been taken over weren't really compatible for multiple reasons with him.
But Ryn, now she is a different story altogether.
Ryn has both the mental and physical prowess because of how fit and the exercise she gets as a dancer. So basically Venom hit the jackpot despite it not being gender wise.
When Venom and Ryn first bonded she had no clue what was going on. She thought she was going insane with all the crazy cravings, migraines, hot flashes etc. Not until two days later when he spoke to her for the first time in her mind through a mirror. Ryn almost had a heart attack since it wasn't her reflection she saw there, but Venom's.
Ryn didn't know what direction to think until Venom made things clearer. Venom freaked her out big time when he manifested a head out from his back so that the two could speak face to face.
Venom explained that he completely came to Earth by accident. Held as a prisoner against his will by an alien race that is parasitic. They'd kept him for experiments in an effort to make themselves stronger, but trying to absorb his physical essence and energy. He's the only one they were able to acquire because tests to prove compatibility had yet to be proven satisfactory. Unlocking the secrets that lie within his kind was their game with him. Fortunately, for his sake, Venom managed to escape not long after the Parasitic Invaders had gotten to Earth. He'd passed from host to host since then trying to find the perfect body to live with. That's when he encountered her.
In a panic Ryn demanded why he just didn't try to warn the government to the invasion along with what the two of them can do to stop it.
Venom quickly shot down that idea. You see the Parasitic Invaders have the ability to shape shift among their own many talents. So they can be anywhere as anyone. Without knowing who to trust it's literally a death sentence to reveal. Plus it's highly likely no one will believe and she'd be classified as mentally unstable. Committed somewhere for lunacy Ryn and Venom would turn into sitting ducks.
No, it was better to keep quiet.
However reluctant Ryn was about it she was forced to let it be.
So now Ryn has an sentient foreign organism inhabiting her body.
Ryn assumed her life was going to take even more of a downward turn. Instead it went up.
Venom's existence has improved her physical prowess so well that her dancing improved tenfold. It was a complete transformation.
Now Ryn works for the ODC Theater and a backup dancer for movies and music videos. This has allowed her to move to a better neighborhood and pay her bills. It took Ryn out of a hole.
But Ryn must continue doing her stretches and exercises to keep her body in tiptop shape like she immediately jumps into once leaving the bathroom.
Venom can't do everything.
Much to Ryn's chagrin work has slowed recently. The Theater was closed for renovations and there aren't that many other parts became available So all Ryn can do now is wait for an audition to come her way.
For the most part Venom and Ryn getting along pretty well.
Ryn does fight him on some things. Especially the impulsive behavior he has in wanting to eat and hurt people. Ryn uses her strength of will to keep him at bay.
Life still has its hardships, but is quite doable. Fallen into a routine she can live with, but in the back of her mind is what Venom told her about the looming invasion on its way.
When are these Parasitic Invaders going to strike?
What's going to happen to Earth and all who inhabit it when they choose to make the big reveal?
Authors Note:
Hope you all like this one. I certainly did writing it! ;D
My readers have been begging me for a while to get an update for this one up. After a suitable amount of writers block and inspiration for other works on my profile I can finally give you something to satisfy it.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I saw the new movie Avengers Endgame on the big premiere night! Oh man, I couldn't believe it. I am so happy they didn't cut anything, actually make and keeping the three hours running time. There was so much going on that it probably would've ruined it if they did that.
I need your shared opinions.
In light of Avengers Endgame, in preference to my Rise Of The Snow Queen series, what do you all think of a one-shot or flashback chapter for in between where Loki is with Thanos before he heads to Earth?
Here's the idea I'm trying to get at maybe Loki catches a glimpse of his sister on Jotunheim. Because in Rise Of The Snow Queen 2 he makes it very clear that he already knows she's a Queen. So maybe that can be very suitable this time around for our girl.
So, what do all of you hardcore Avengers fans think?
Should I do it?
