A Symbiotic Bond: A Venomous Titan Reborn
Chapter Twenty-Four
Gotham City – Arkham
Venom
"Jinx…Climb," Venom ordered with a anger in his voice.
"Climb? Climb the tanks?" Jinx asked.
"Yes…Because if you don't, we're going to be in a load of trouble when that pigeon decides to fly back," Venom said. "I need to be able to combat him and having you on me, while making the fight doable, will not be kind to you so climb."
"But how? These things have no ridges or anything," Jinx said.
"Looks like there's only one thing to do," Sym's voice said to Venom.
'And that is?' Venom asked.
"I'm going to give her a Symbiote…my offspring," Sym replied.
'Y-You can do that?' Venom asked.
"Yes but it will only be temporary. Just to get her out of our….Look out!" Sym shouted, which caused Venom to look up to see Archangel soaring towards him at top speed.
"Hang on Jinx!" Venom shouted before he stood upright on the bottom of the tank and back flipped to the side of one of the tanks and clung to it as Archangel whizzed past them and far away before he began to turn around.
"Alright Jinx…We don't have time for this game. I need to get this flying rat off my trail and while carrying you is no problem…Having you scream in my ear and slowing my reflexes slightly is not helping…So I'm going to ask once, do you trust me?" Venom asked her, his eyes watching as Archangel began to fly towards them.
"Do I have a choice?" Jinx asked.
"You do," Venom replied.
"Then yes! You saved my damn life after all several times and helped me when you didn't' have to so yeah! I trust you!" Jinx replied. "Just don't do that again!"
'Do it Sym,' Venom told his partner.
Just then, four tendrils attached themselves to Jinx's legs and hands before it spread up her body until it covered her head and it was then the eyes opened to reveal bright pink eyes.
"W-What is this?" Jinx asked in alarm as she looked at her body. Her suit looked similar to Venom's but there was a bright pink spider-insignia on her chest and light pink glowing webbing on top the black suit. "And why does it feel…Good?"
"My name is Sym-Alpha. You better be grateful for this!" A rough sounding female voice said within Jinx's head but curiously, Venom could hear it as well.
"T-That voice?! Where is that coming from?" Jinx exclaimed.
"That is the offspring of my suit," Venom said. "It holds all the same abilities that I do so this will help you get to Mystique and stop her from getting the Infinity Stone. Use it…it won't let you down!" Venom shouted.
"You're trusting me with this?" Jinx asked. "I-I don't know what to say…"
"What can you say except, you're welcome? For the suit, the webs and the might!" Venom sang playfully. "There's no need to say that you're welcome. I'm just a big on sharing type of guy!"
"Oh my god. I'm going to kill you for that reference when I come back!" Jinx said. "In the meantime, I'm ready to go!"
"Take care of her Sym-Alpha," Sym said firmly.
"I won't let you down Mom and Dad! I'm off!" Sym-Alpha exclaimed before Sym-Alpha leapt off Venom's back and shot a web on the tank and swung upwards while Jinx screamed in terror.
"Did she just call me dad?" Venom asked.
He felt amusement from Sym before she replied "She did…And she's somewhat right. But I'll explain later."
"Do you think that was a good idea to do?" Venom asked.
"She was getting in our way. Besides if you're worried about her forcefully bonding to Jinx. Do not worry. She knows this arrangement is temporary. Once this mission is down, Sym-Alpha will return and meld back into us for further training," Sym replied.
"Good…Now to handle the pigeon," Venom growled before leapt off the tank towards Archangel, who flew towards him and with a crash, the two collided in the air and began to fall, both throwing fists as one another.
Gotham City – Arkham
Jinx
Jinx's body landed on top of the tanks and skidded to a stop and looked up. "She's up there…" Jinx said.
"Good! Once I get my hands on her, I'm gonna take her out!" Sym-Alpha exclaimed angrily.
"Why are you so angry?" Jinx asked.
"Well you're angry! I'm just feeding off of that!"Sym-Alpha exclaimed.
"You can feel my anger?" Jinx asked.
"There is a lot I can feel…Come on, let's go kick ass and take names!" Sym-Alpha exclaimed. Jinx snorted as Sym-Alpha shot a web to the bottom of the ship and zip-lined up to the large ship until she reached the bottom and narrowed eyes. "So should we just bust a hole in it or should we find a window?"
"How about window?" Jinx said.
"Heh, I knew you'd say that!"Sym-Alpha stated as she crawled to the window and through her eyes, Jinx saw Shatterstar, Boom-Boom and Domino shedding their X-Force uniforms and narrowed her eyes angrily. "Those turncoats…" Jinx whispered furiously.
"Wanna go in and beat them up?" Sym-Alpha asked.
"Oh hell yes!" Jinx shouted before Sym-Alpha punched through the window and climbed into window with Jinx shouting "What's up guys?!"
The three turned around in surprise and Sym-Alpha instantly webbed Shatterstar's mouth before she leapt forward and kneed Shatterstar in the face before grabbing Boom-Boom and throwing her into Domino, sending the duo to the ground.
Shatterstar stood up angrily and threw two punches but Sym-Alpha swayed from side to side and the grabbed his arm and threw Shatterstar down the aisle of the plane, where he slammed into the cockpit's door.
Sym-Alpha then flipped up onto the ceiling to avoid three orbs of energy sent by Boom-Boom and shot a web at her hands and then pulled her up sharply and punched her in the face before webbing her up on the plane's ceiling.
Sym-Alpha landed on the ground in a crouch as Domino and Boom-Boom stood up from the floor. "Should have known you assholes were with Mystique," Jinx said as she stood up, well aware of Shatterstar sending up behind him as she faced the pair of females.
"Should have known your loyal ass would come and get these hands," Boom-Boom stated cockily.
"Subdue her and bring her to Mystique at all costs," Domino said.
"Gonna have to kill me to do that," Jinx said.
"Can certainly be arranged," Domino replied coldly before she removed a pistol.
Flashback – New York Apartment
Loki Odinson
"I hate that you're leaving."
Loki turned around to see a pale woman with flowing brunette hair, vibrant blue and in her hands was his golden crown, wearing his long sleeved shirt. "I want you to be aware of that fact Trickster," she said with a pout of her lips.
Loki chuckled and stood up from the couch and leaped over it, landing gracefully on the wooden floor of her apartment and strode up to her as he said "Admittedly, I do not either."
"You don't?" she asked with surprise and excitement. "Then why don't you stay? I mean Kit-tor would be lonely without you," she told him as she lifted up a black cat towards him.
"Is it true?" Loki asked the cat curiously.
"Meow (Please don't leave me alone with her. You absorb what she calls "The cuddling hour" for me)" Kit-tor replied.
"It seems like he wants me to stay as well…Unfortunately Darcy, I cannot return to Thanos empty handed," Loki replied with a small frown on his face.
Loki felt frustrated.
When he made the deal with Thanos, he wasn't in his right mind. He had been falling for what felt like eternity and the minute he had landed, the very scepter that sat against the wall near Darcy's front door, was pressed against his heart, further twisting it to do the mad Titan's evil deeds.
But during his time falling to Earth, this insane woman found him and nursed him back to health and now, he didn't want to leave her.
He then felt Darcy's hands touch his face and he looked up slowly. "It's okay…I'm just being selfish…" Darcy said softly. "It's my fault. I'm the stupid fuck that slept with you that night and started all these feelings."
"Do not blame yourself…I wanted you," Loki said as he placed a hand above hers and kissed her palm. "And I had you…And I need you even more…"
Darcy smiled and stood on the tips of her toes and kissed his lips but not before she whispered "Then have me Loki…"
Present Time – Gotham City
Loki Odinson
Loki slowly opened his eyes and peered out the window.
He was in Gotham…
He eyed his scepter and saw the Mind Stone within it and beneath it, the Power Stone stood ready to be swapped at any moment.
'Darcy…I will return to you soon…And undo all that I have ruined…For you and for my foolish brother…' Loki thought with determination.
"Lord Odinson! We have visual on an infinity stone!" Rocket's voice shouted.
Loki quickly stood up from his seat and walked to Rocket, the pilot of his ship, with urgency. "It's in the Gotham River. Fairly deep. We were barely able to find it but it's there," Rocket said, her glowing, pale blue eyes looking back at him.
"That is a good way to hide it…" Loki said with an approving nod. "Very well. Once I retrieve this, all that would be left is the Soul Stone and the Reality Sto-"
"We have incoming!" Rocket suddenly said.
"Three rockets are heading our way from a ship nearby!" Red X said.
"There are bullets shredding against the ship's shields!" Black Cat added.
"Jean, stop the rockets. Raven, retrieve the Time Stone. Black Cat, Red X, you both to the machine guns. Rocket, you evade, If I can retrieve that stone, all of you will be free of the Mind Stone's control!" Loki shouted.
"Understood Lord Odinson!" the group yelled in unison before Raven phased down through the ship, Red X and Black Cat rushed to their machine gun controls and Jean Grey placing her glowing blue hands on the sides of her head with her eyes closed.
Loki grabbed his scepter with his left hand and pressed a button on it, swapping the Mind stone that sat in the scepter with the Power Stone. He didn't know who was attacking him but he would make them regret it.
Gotham City – Arkham
Venom
Venom landed two hard blows to Archangel's face before he kicked him in the chest, which sent the web-slinger soaring faster to the ground in the shape of a cross.
Venom then rolled into a ball to avoid another diving attack from Archangel and quickly webbed shot a web at Archangel's back and tugged the flying man backwards but Archangel swiftly turned around and punched Venom in the head, which sent him backwards into the air.
It was then Venom felt his spider-sense tingling wildly and when he turned his head, he saw a rocket heading straight towards him.
Venom webbed the rocket and twirled his body around and launched it towards Archangel, who spread his wings and fired iron feathers towards it, causing a large explosion in the air that sent Venom further backwards into the sky.
Through the smoke, Archangel flew right towards him with an angered expression on his face as he attempted to tackle Venom once more but Venom tilted his body to the left to avoid it only to shot a strand of web at Archangel's right foot and pulled him down sharply and landed an elbow against Archangel's face.
Archangel sneered and returned the punch with a punch to Venom's stomach before he grabbed the web-slinger by the neck and said "You made a fool of me back in our first fight and I'm going to make you pay for it."
"Sorry but you are the least threatening loan shark I have even seen in my life. You smell like you're in debt," Venom retorted and landed a solid head-butt against Archangel's head before he kicked the man into the air while he flew backwards towards the city.
And again, his spider-sense began to go off.
From the corner of his eyes, Venom noticed twenty medium sized rockets heading straight towards him.
Easy to maneuver around thankfully.
Venom rolled into a ball and made slight movements to avoid the stream before he webbed one rocket and swung around twice and threw it at Archangel, who swung his wing and sliced through the rocket, causing both ends to explode beside him before he launched himself down towards Venom.
It was then his spider-sense went off again.
But why?
Everything seemed to move in slow motion as Venom looked to the left to see a lone figure in the sky a few feet away. It was a red-haired woman and she had her hands on the sides of her face. He then looked up at Archangel then to the rockets in between them and muttered "Oh fuck me…"
A pulse rippled through the air and all of the missiles exploded in unison, sending Venom and Archangel shooting down towards the city below, the entire sky bright with red-orange fire.
Both Venom and Archangel was sent rocketing down to the city, with Venom barely clinging onto consciousness due to the massive force of the blast.
Despite his half consciousness, Venom then turned his head in the direction of the woman in the air and through the blurriness, he saw it. It was faint but there was another ship, camouflaged against the night sky.
He then saw a burst of purple energy shoot from the ship and collide against the other ship, which caused it to waver in the air before a new wave of rockets was sent flying towards the black ship.
But as he looked, he noticed a familiar figure flying from the ship.
'Raven…' Venom thought weakly as his eyes became half-lidded. There was an orb around her but he could recognize her black and white aura form anywhere.
And if she was there then the others on the ship…
'Red X…Black Cat…Rocket…' Venom thought as he closed his eyes. He had to get on that ship at any and all costs.
Venom shook his head to try and clear the blurriness from his vision and through it, he saw Archangel begin to recover and start to attempt to fly.
Venom forced his body to move and turned around fully and shot a web towards Archangel and pulled himself towards the flying man and slammed into him, sending them both falling faster to the ground.
Venom placed two hands on each wing and said "Forgive me but I need wings and there is no red bull here to give them!"
And with a hard pulled and his superior strength, Venom ripped off the wings from Archangel's back, causing the man to wail in agony.
Gotham City – Arkham
Raven
Raven's aura form flew into the water and saw the dull green glow in the water and slithered towards it as she got close, she saw that it was in the hands of a Caucasian teen with dirty blonde hair, army green sleeveless shirt, army green pants, black army boots, a red guitar strapped on his back.
Raven narrowed her eyes and slid her hands into the hands of the deceased teen and removed the stone from his cold grasp and held it in front of her.
The Time Stone.
Lord Odinson would be pleased.
She flew out of the water with the stone in an orb beside her only to hear a violent scream, which immediately dispersed her aura and sent her down onto the wooden dock and onto her knees in agony.
What the hell was that noise?!
Siryn floated down to the ground and said "Forgive me lass but I require the stone."
Raven shook her head and blinked rapidly.
The influence of the Mind Stone…It was gone…
"T-The stone?" Raven asked with confusion.
"Yeah, that little green ditty. I'd like that please. I'd hate to have to kill you otherwise," Siryn with a rather friendly smile.
Raven didn't answer vocally but a aura covered dingy boat lifted from the water and flew towards Siryn, who saw this and immediately let out a super-sonic scream, destroying the boat completely. "I'll take that as a "no" then?" Siryn asked.
"A very strong one," Raven replied as she stood up. "But as thanks for freeing me from the Mind Stone's influence…I'll give you a chance to leave now before I release some pent up stress."
"Oh! I do love a scrap," Siryn said.
"Good because I owe you some metal!" another voice shouted and Siryn turned around to see a motorcycle heading her way. Siryn let out a sharp scream to send the motorcycle in the air only for X-23 to slices through it and land a hard kick to Siryn's chest.
Siryn flew into the air but Raven immediately used another dingy boat and slammed it into Siryn's side, which sent her further into the air where Raven then threw it sharply, causing it to explode against Siryn's body.
X-23 landed on the ground in a crouch and muttered dryly "Nice moves."
"Thank you," Raven replied, her voice just as dry.
"X-23. X-Force/X-Men member," X-23 said.
"Raven. Teen Titan member," Raven replied.
"Charmed," the two said in unison before Siryn let out a harsh scream in and shouted "I will scream the skin off your bones!"
X-23 took the cigar out of her mouth and tossed it to the side and removed her jacket. "Time to take down a screeching bird."
Gotham City – Arkham
Venom
"I'll kill you!" Archangel screamed with fury in his voice. "I'll kill you and everything you love! I'll make you pay for this!"
"Y-You really just ripped the wings off his back…," Sym said. "Such level of savageness…its sending shivers up my spine…Oh my Garfield…I am seriously in love with you right now…"
Venom could feel the feeling of arousal coming from Sym and felt a wide smirk appear on his face. He didn't understand where this violent streak appeared but…
He kind of liked it.
'I live to please,' Venom said as he placed the wings on his back and thought 'Do your thing Sym!'
"Right away Savage one," Sym said and slowly, Venom felt his Symbiote formed around the wings that were held at his back and for a moment, nothing happened but then he flapped them.
Success!
"I said I was going to pluck you out the sky and I'm a man of my word," Venom hissed out before he flew down into the city and threw Archangel down onto a roof and webbed him against the ground. "Now be a good rat without wings and stay put. If you're a good, I'll bring you back these wings of yours."
"With all of my hate…I will see you die," Archangel hissed out angrily.
Venom narrowed his eyes and landed on the roof and walked down to Archangel and knelt down and said "You won't be doing that at all," before slapping Archangel twice. Archangel sneered hatefully at Venom, who gave him a smile.
"You're lucky, you know? I could have let you go splat and die but you didn't and guess what? I even said I would bring them back so be a good little boy and shut up before I rectify my choice in letting you live," Venom said before he turned around and said "Thanks for the flight. Catch you in the skies!"
And with those final words, Venom leapt up and flew up into the air.
"My love for this new savageness is growing," Sym said with a satisfied growl. Venom smirked and flew straight up towards the camouflaged ship.
