(Rated I for Immature)
Carnage
Kara waltzed into a maximum-security prison for an interview. "For the record, I don't want to be here. My bitch of a boss is making me do it because, apparently, I haven't been doing my job in recent weeks. So, if you could just sign this form saying I was here, that would be great," she said to Detective Mulligan.
"That's too fucking bad because he only wants to see you," Det. Mulligan rejected.
"What does he want?" Kara asked impatiently.
"Maybe he wants to spill the beans on the missing bodies. So, you're going to have to do the right thing for a change," Det. Mulligan said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kara asked offended.
"You coming or not?" Det. Mulligan asked.
"Let me consult with my other personality," Kara said and then entered the woman's restroom where she found a stall. She then called up Cat Grant.
"Do you have the scoop yet?" Cat asked.
"How many times have I told you to get someone else to do this? I should be out saving the world and shit," Kara said uncooperatively.
"You're being punished, Kara, because you blow everything," Cat said unconcernedly.
"I want some respect!" Kara shouted into her phone.
Cat proceeded to hang up on her. Kara frowned upon realizing she had been overheard by another woman in the next stall. "Well...shit," she realized and darted out of the bathroom where Det. Mulligan was waiting for her.
"Okay, I'll do it," she relented.
"I don't like you," he replied.
"You...don't deserve nice things," Kara told him off.
Kara went by Cletus Kasady's cell. "Welcome, Kara Danvers. I've been thinking a lot about you," Cletus said.
"That's creepy as fuck, but you can't intimidate someone like me. What the fuck do you want?" Kara asked him.
"Do a man buried alive some kindness, won't you? Get a message out to all my...fans and, in return, I'll give you my life," Cletus said insanely.
"Say what?" Kara thought she misheard.
"Story," Cletus clarified. "I hear the Daily Planet isn't doing so well. A piece like this, an exclusive, could put you back on top."
"I'm listening," Kara said intrigued.
"People love serial killers," Cletus noted.
"They sure do," Kara smiled.
"All my secrets laid bare, Kara. So much carnage," Cletus said vaguely.
"End credits?" Kara wondered.
Cletus chuckled at that. "I like you."
"Alright, it's a deal," Kara said flattered. "What's your message, asshole?"
"That distant cathedral is all I see, fractured angel the other part of me," Cletus recited. "Print that shit."
"Is that it?" Kara asked unimpressed. "How about some paragraphs, maybe even a sentence or two?"
"Print it and what is mine will become yours," Cletus pressed.
"Yeah, sure, fuck it," Kara allowed.
"Goodbye, Kara," Cletus said to her.
"Thanks," Kara rolled her eyes.
"No, thank you," Cletus said appreciatively.
Kara then scanned Cletu's cell and noticed all of his kills and where he buried them were etched into the wall. "Really?" Kara asked incredulously as she took a photo of it from her phone.
"Kara, don't forget me," Cletus said needily.
Kara turned away from him and exited the prison. "What do you got?" Det. Mulligan asked expectedly.
"I think I have Covid," Kara said to spook him.
"What did he say to you?" Det. Mulligan demanded.
"He read me poetry. That's it," Kara lied.
"Is this some kind of joke to you, Kara?" Det. Mulligan scolded. "Because I'm not laughing."
"You could do with a laugh," Kara mocked.
"Keep me ahead of the curve, Kara. Don't embarrass me," Det. Mulligan ordered.
"Look, man, the only scoop I'm getting today is some double chocolate chip," Kara said as she drove away.
Kara went to the Daily Planet office and looked over her computer. Using an image identifier, she found the beach where the bodies had been buried. "These prison guards are dumb as fuck," she muttered as she discovered the mystery in five minutes.
Kara then called law enforcement agencies to find the bodies and they were exactly where Cletus' drawings put them. The article with the quote from Cletus became front-page news.
At the site, Kara was interviewed by Cat Grant with a camera crew. "Would you say your friendship with Cletus Kasady is what allowed you to solve this decades-old long mystery? You are the only one from the outside world he has spoken to. Seems he likes you," Cat said provocatively.
"Well, just because he's a serial killer doesn't mean he has bad tastes in women," Kara said defensively and then noticed a female victim in a body bag go by her. "Can we edit that out?" Kara asked.
"This is live," Cat reminded her.
"Shit," Kara shook her head.
Soon thereafter, Kara had a chat with Alex at a cafe. "So, just like that, the New York governor is reinstating the death penalty just for Cletus Kasady. The victims' families are getting closure. I don't even have to be Supergirl to save the day," Kara said, proud of herself.
"It's great, Kara. It really is," Alex allowed.
"Something bothering you?" Kara wondered.
"Well, after Kelly became free of Nyxly's influence, it's been good. We're living together in the same apartment, sharing finances and chores, and even cooking together," Alex listed off.
"But?" Kara asked.
"We haven't had...sex," Alex admitted.
"You should wait...until marriage for that," Kara advised.
"Shut the fuck up," Alex shook her head dismayed. "Sorry I even brought it up."
"How did it happen the first time with Maggie?" Kara asked curiously.
"Well...she was always the more aggressive one and I was inexperienced so it was mainly her taking the initiative," Alex said declining to mention it was Venom that made the first move inside her body.
"You're the man in this relationship. You got to take charge. Get in a fight with her, pull her hair, strip her clothes off, and have your way with her," Kara suggested.
"Just because that's how Mon does it with you doesn't mean it will work the same way with me," Alex declined.
"When I first met Mon, I wanted him so badly but he didn't have any interest in me. He just wanted to fight people and work out. So, in my frustration, I kicked his ass repeatedly until he got the message. Kelly wants to be taken and until she is, she's going to be rude and obnoxious to you. If she keeps giving you excuses, you have to dump her ass," Kara said.
"Okay, but how many times should we really do it. How much is too much?" Alex asked.
"At least three or four times a week, just like going to the gym. Even if you're not feeling it, you need to go to the gym regularly. It's mandatory to keep the relationship in shape," Kara said.
"Not very romantic," Alex chided.
"It rarely is," Kara said knowingly. "Romantic all-nighters are those special occasions when you go on a marathon. But to get to that marathon, you have to work out."
"Right, I just need to explain to her that sex is like going to the gym or going to a shrink session. It's just a natural part of a relationship," Alex said resolved.
"Don't go too crazy or you'll be sore in the morning," Kara smirked.
Alex came by the apartment to find Kelly distressed about the news of Cletus Kasady. "Your sister's newest victim," she said showing her the Daily Planet article.
"That man killed dozens of people. He deserves what he gets," Alex said shocked by her demeanor.
"The death penalty is inhumane. It's state-sanctioned murder. This makes us no better than he is," Kelly said passionately.
"After all the people I've killed in the line of duty and all the people Kara has killed to protect this planet...I just can't agree," Alex said flatly.
"Do you know that Cletus was abused as a child? He was sent away to an institution for troubled children. I was there. I saw what went on there. I saw how he was bullied and tormented by the other children," Kelly said.
"Why were you there?" Alex wondered.
"I was a visiting psychiatrist at St. Estes," Kelly revealed.
"He killed his grandmother by tossing her down the stairs, his mother by throwing a hairdryer into her shower, and so many others," Alex reminded her.
"He's not beyond redemption," Kelly insisted. "Kara could have just told law enforcement and kept this secret. Now, she's forced the governor's hands with her reporting. How many other inmates are now going to be executed because of this?"
"Kelly...I'm trying...really hard to give a shit," Alex admitted. "And I'm failing and I'm sincerely sorry for that."
"You know what? That's okay. We'll agree to disagree on this and keep harmony in our dwelling," Kelly said condescendingly.
"Speaking of harmony, I think we should start talking about sex," Alex said boldly.
"I'm not sure how this relates...," Kelly said confused.
"It's not. It's something Kara and I were talking about and...," Alex blurted out.
"Oh, I see. You're talking to Kara about our sex life," Kelly said peeved.
"What sex life?!" Alex exploded on her.
Kelly was taken aback by Alex's reaction. "Is that something you feel you need, right now?"
"Well, not right now but sometime in the near future," Alex said befuddled.
"I'm not in the mood for it," Kelly declined.
"I understand that," Alex allowed. "But I think we need to schedule it out on a calendar like my gym days."
"Our first time must be really special, and we need to be in the right mindset. With all this craziness happening around us, we really should wait until the conflict resolves itself," Kelly said.
"Yeah, sure," Alex said feeling rejected. Alex went to leave with her motorcycle helmet.
"Where are you going?" Kelly asked concernedly.
"Just getting some fresh air," Alex said and then walked out.
On the streets, Alex drove like a maniac on her motorcycle as she tried to get herself an adrenalin high. It was night, raining, and visibility was shit. After nearly getting herself killed, Alex eventually came to a stop and sighed. Looking out at Metropolis, she imagined all the people in successful relationships, married, with kids. Settling herself down, she drove back into the city.
Alex awoke in Kara's apartment where she had stayed the night. Kara noisily got breakfast together rapidly cooking several menu items. With her super speed, she worked all the kitchen appliances at once. Alex eyed Kara making a big mess. "Cheer up, Alex," Kara said to her and then sped down the hall to get her mail and come back up.
"Ha, guess what I got?" Kara smiled as she handed Cletus Kasady's postcard to her.
Alex quickly read the postcard. "He wants you at his execution," she summarized.
"Nice," Kara smiled.
"What if the doctor had never revived Cletus' heart when he was a baby?" Alex wondered as she read the postcard.
"Morality is about intentions...or was it consequences? I get them mixed up," Kara admitted.
"Kelly's not happy about you restarting executions in New York," Alex said.
"I'll add it to the list," Kara said and then wrote it down on her posted note of all the things she did that pissed Kelly off.
Alex eyed the list briefly with dismay. "Kisses, hugs, kisses, smiley face," she concluded the postcard.
"He's taking his execution rather well," Kara noted.
"It's passive-aggressive bullshit," Alex said dismissively.
"I should go. I was the one that made it happen," Kara figured.
"He did it to himself," Alex countered.
Kara handed her a quadruple waffle with butter and syrup in between each one and a glass of orange juice. "Thanks," Alex said overwhelmed.
"I'll go just to make sure they don't fuck it up like Green Mile," Kara said finally.
Kara came by the prison and met Cletus in a white cell as he ate his last meal. "Happy day for you, Kara Danvers," he said bitterly.
"Isn't it? I got the scoop and I restarted executions. Sounds like a win-win to me," Kara smirked.
"I worry for your soul," Cletus said to her.
"Coming from you, I must be fucked," Kara realized.
"How do you sleep at night knowing you're snuffing out a man's life?" he asked.
"Like a baby," Kara said honestly.
"Funny girl," Cletus chuckled.
"Give me some quotes before you die, asshole," Kara ordered.
"Consequences...every decision you ever make that we leave behind, how do we leave them? You see, you and I are the same," Cletus said as if he were looking into Kara's dark heart.
"Let's agree to disagree on that," Kara said offended.
"Twisted on the inside Like you, all I ever wanted in this world was family," Cletus said.
"Well, killing your grandmother and your mother is a funny way of showing it," Kara mocked.
"You know just as I do that blood relatives don't make family," Cletus corrected her.
"Alright...," Kara allowed. "Is there anything you wish to unburden yourself with?"
"I have wishes to bestow upon you. I want to wish upon you this heartbreak. I want you to see your days gloom as they always have been," Cletus said to her.
"Look, asshole, I am the most famous journalist in the world. I am married to one of the wealthiest men in the world. I am exceptionally attractive and there are even more awesome things about me that you couldn't possibly comprehend," Kara told him off.
"You are a cancer to everyone who ever loved you, Kara, or should I say...Supergirl," he said.
Kara instantly grabbed him by the throat to kill him. Cletus screamed and then bit her hand. "Hey, back off!" the guard said to Cletus separating them. "No touching the inmate," he scolded Kara.
"I've tasted flesh before...and that's not it," Cletus smiled knowingly.
"I'm done here," Kara said walking away.
"Kara Danvers has a big secret!" Cletus taunted.
"Shut up, Kasady," the guard ordered.
Kara went back to her apartment at night and looked at herself in the mirror. For the first time in a long while, she felt a little sick. "Could it be AIDS?" she wondered as she looked at herself carefully.
Suddenly, a black parasitic goo monster emerged from her back to form a head. The head was black with white eyes and a mouth full of teeth. "What the fuck?" Kara mouthed.
"I'm back!" Venom said to her.
"You died," Kara recalled.
"That was a different symbiote. Whenever a symbiote binds to another, their personality is complementary to their host," Venom explained.
"So every symbiote that binds to me is an immature frat-boy asshole?" Kara wondered.
"That's right! Hey, not cool!" Venom said offended.
"The bite. That means Cletus had a symbiote in him," Kara realized.
"Correct!" Venom confirmed.
"And you thought you could just hitch a ride on my body?" Kara accused.
"I didn't mean to," Venom said defensively.
"You didn't mean to but you did it? That sounds like bullshit," Kara doubted. "You didn't think what might happen to both of us. I don't need your black ass. I have a life. I'm fucking special. I have dreams, a family, and a really successful journalism career."
"You'll end up destroying those things all by yourself. Face it, Kara, you need me," Venom said to her.
"Yeah, bullshit," Kara denied.
"I was the one that wrote all those things on the wall. Without me, you wouldn't have had those clues," Venom pointed out.
"Wow, not impressed. I just want to live in peace until I leave this shit time period," Kara said dismissively.
"Do you know how lucky you are that I chose you?" Venom said arrogantly.
"You chose me? You are a comic book reject, you're a Marvel pariah, and only Sony would even dare to greenlit your ass," Kara insulted.
Venom proceeded to headbutt her knocking out all of his teeth. "Son-of-a-bitch," Kara spat as she punched him across the room. Venom flung Kara across the apartment tossing her refrigerator and destroying her kitchen table. "Holy shit," Kara realized as he was just as strong as her when he was in her body.
"Get out! Get your stuff and get out!" Venom ordered her.
"The fuck I will. This is my apartment, asshole," Kara told him off.
Venom flung Kara around the apartment breaking random objects. Venom then attached a tentacle around Kara's TV and threatened to throw it out the window. "Don't you dare!" Kara shouted at him.
Venom dropped the TV anyway. "No!" Kara shrieked and looked down to see her TV broken in an alley.
"I'm calling the police," a homeless black guy said to her.
"Really? Look at me, look at you, you fucking serious?" Kara asked him.
Kara withdrew into the apartment and swung at Venom several times. He snaked himself around her neck. Kara pulled him by his tongue off of her. Venom flipped them both onto the floor. "You can't win," Venom said to her.
"You can't absorb the nutrients from my body. You can't penetrate my cells. You can feel it now, can't you? You feel yourself slowly starving to death," Kara taunted. "It's the same as before."
Venom stared at her realizing it was true. "I guess this is goodbye," he said to her.
"Finally, something we both agree on," Kara said angrily.
Venom detached from Kara's body, leaped through the window, and attached himself to the black homeless guy. Venom then walked off down the street. Kara eyed his movements curiously as he then latched himself onto a woman riding a bicycle. He gave her a tentacle middle finger as he rode off. Kara shook her head and decided to go to sleep.
At the prison, Cletus was placed in the execution room. Witnessing his execution were family members from all those he had killed, a sizeable group. "Cletus Kasady, the state of New York sentences you to death. May your passing bring closure to the victim's families and may you find peace in the hereafter," the warden said to him. "Do you have any last words?"
"Enjoy the show," Cletus smiled.
Cletus was then given the lethal injection. What no one was aware of was that Cletus had been infected with a symbiote years ago but waited for the perfect moment to reveal his powers. His execution and the gathering of all of his victim's families was the perfect time to reveal his true nature. Cletus's body shook violently as red symbiote fluid covered his body and tentacles sprung out. The guard shot at him without effect. Tentacles whipped around killing the minister and guard in brutal fashion spraying blood on the windows. Cletus ripped himself off the execution table, fired a goo projectile at the window shattering it, and escaped as Carnage.
The victim's families tried to retreat only for Carnage to slaughter them all. At his disposal were blades, tentacles, claws, and teeth. He sliced through them, bit off heads, shredded them, and stomped on them. The sound of the alarm briefly distracted him. Carnage tore the alarm apart and continued his rampage into the prison hallway. The guards fired on him blasting holes through his body. However, these wounds were quickly closed up. Taking hold of the guards with his tentacles, Carnage tossed them about breaking their bodies in the process.
Carnage went about killing the guards and prisoners alike as no one could stop him. He grabbed the warden and sent his long tongue down his throat rupturing all of his internal organs. Spinning quickly, Carnage whipped his several tentacles around killing anyone close to him in a bloodbath. Carnage then walked out of the prison like a boss and morphed back into Cletus.
The next morning, Kara put priorities in order as she cleaned up her apartment and got herself a new TV. She eventually got around to looking at the news on her phone and learned of the massacre by Carnage. "Holy shit," she realized.
There was then a knock on her door. Kara scanned the door with her X-ray vision and rolled her eyes. She opened the door for Det. Mulligan. "What do you want?" she asked him.
"You're not dead," he noted.
"I'm very very hard to kill," Kara boasted.
"Can I come in?" he asked.
"Not without a search warrant," Kara denied.
"This is fucking serious. On a scale of one to ten, this is an eleven. Everyone in law enforcement is going bananas. Nice TV, by the way," he said looking through the door.
"Thanks, man," Kara said appreciatively.
"You were his special visitor. So, what did he tell you?" he asked.
"You're going to have to wait just like everyone else when a new Daily Planet edition is printed," Kara mocked.
"Nothing about an escape plan, nothing about being some weird-ass alien?" he asked.
"Nope," Kara shook her head.
"How come you're always involved in these miraculous occurrences but know nothing about it?" he asked accusingly.
"I'm a don't kiss and tell kind of girl," Kara told him.
"Information is currency," he reminded her. "You, of all people, should know that. He killed innocent guards, the families of those he murdered. They came to see this execution for closure and justice and, instead, they get brutally torn apart," he scolded her.
"I'll look into it," Kara said seriously.
"I figured he would come to kill you seeing as how you got the ball rolling on his execution but I guess not. I would lay low if I were you," Det. Mulligan advised.
"I can take care of myself," Kara assured him.
"Oh, really? Can you say the same for your loved ones, your sister, perhaps?" Det. Mulligan reminded her.
Kara's face fell at that. "I'll see myself out," he said disappointedly.
A depressed and rejected Alex went to a gay club and quickly worked her way through several drinks. Venom happened to take possession of some random guy and entered the club. He then attached himself to Alex and took possession of her body. "Look at all these weirdos," he remarked of the people dressed in queer costumes.
Venom gave Alex black hair and a black spiky dress that made her stand out. "Cool dress. Is that Japanese?" one asked him.
"No, I made it myself," Venom replied with Alex's voice.
"You look gorgeous," one Lesbian said to him.
"I know, right?" Venom said impressed with himself. He then went up to the DJ and took the mic to express his feelings to a sympathetic crowd. "Your dress looks amazing," a gay guy said of him.
"Thank you, queer person," Venom said appreciatively. "Kara kept me hidden because she felt ashamed of me but look at me now. You love me and I'm free!"
The crowd cheered completely thrilled by his coming-out story. "All of us should be able to live together on this ball of rock. Free to be who we are," Venom continued.
"I love you," one lesbian shouted.
"I love you, too," Venom replied. "Yeah!"
Venom then left the stage only to be confronted by Kelly. "Alex, what are you doing here?"
"Getting some tail!" Venom said obviously.
"Oh, really? You're that starved for sex that you'll take home any random girl?" Kelly asked disapprovingly.
"Yeah!" Venom confirmed.
"Unbelievable," Kelly said disgustedly and then took off.
"Bitch, get back here," Venom ordered but then got carried away by everyone at the club.
Cletus stole himself a mustang and drove like a maniac on the freeway tossing random vehicles off a bridge as he did with his tentacles. He went over to a gas station, slaughtered the attendant, and accessed his computer. It didn't take long for him to discover that Kelly had gone to a mental asylum to make her rounds. He quickly made his way over there and dispatched the guards.
Upon realizing what was happening, Kelly locked herself into a glass cell. Cletus approached the cell with his tentacles wrapped around it. "You're the only one that ever showed me true kindness. I'm going to take you for a ride," he said to her.
"Please don't," Kelly said to him.
Cletus ignored her and used his tentacles to bust open the glass cell. Now, fully Carnage, he took Kelly away and placed her in his mustang. The police arrived on the scene with several cars. Cletus sprung out tentacles lifting the car off the ground. In a web of tentacles, he latched onto the cars and start throwing them into the mental asylum walls. He threw other cars around like ragdolls and even split one in half with his bladed arms. All the while, Kelly screamed in terror. A police helicopter fired on Carnage with automatic fire blasting holes through him. Carnage retaliated by sending tentacles through the helicopter windows, killing the pilot, and forcing it to crash. The helicopter exploded in a fire as it impacted the ground.
Cletus then gave Kelly an unwanted kiss. "Who said real romance was dead," he said excitedly as he drove off. Not long afterward, he burned St. Estes to the ground. "We can't destroy Supergirl. She's too powerful for us, but we can get to her sister," Cletus said to Carnage in front of Kelly.
"Cletus, don't do this. I believed in you. I opposed your execution and the end of the death penalty," Kelly said to him. "Alex is my fiancee."
Cletus gave her a sympathetic look. "Alright, we won't kill Alex, but we will use her to draw out Kara and Venom."
"And then we will kill them both," Carnage said.
In an alley, Alex regained control of herself and returned her clothing back to before. "What the actual fuck?" she wondered.
"I can absorb your nutrients. I like you a lot better than your sister," Venom said.
"Is that you, Venom?" Alex wondered.
"I take the form of Venom when I am inside you," he said.
"Where did you come from?" Alex demanded.
"Carnage bit Kara allowing me to bond with her but then she cast me away," Venom said resentfully.
"Well, I don't want you inside me either," Alex told him off.
"Alex, you're a loser, remember. You need me," Venom said as he read her mind.
"I've accomplished a lot since I last bonded with you," Alex said defensively.
"No spouse, no kids, no job, no master's degree, and still in the shadow of your sister," Venom mocked. "You can't even score with your girlfriend."
"We'll see about that," Alex said as she tried to call up Kelly.
"Alex?" Kelly said anxiously.
"We need to have a serious talk," Alex said seriously.
"Cletus Kasady has me. He's taking me to Metropolis Cathedral to marry me," Kelly told her.
"I'll be right there," Alex said alarmed.
"If Supergirl appears, Kelly is dead," Carnage threatened and then hung up.
At Metropolis Cathedral, Kelly was forced to be with Cletus at the altar with a scared shitless priest between them. "Let's skip to the kiss part," Cletus told him.
"Actually, Canon Law requires me to perform a specific ritual or else it could lead to an annulment later on and...," the priest stammered.
"Shut your mouth," Cletus ordered him.
"Alright, if anyone objects to this union speak now or forever hold your peace," the priest said flatly.
"I object!" Venom said as he tore through the doors.
"I'm going to kill your ass," Carnage said as he took control of Cletus.
Venom quickly retreated inside Alex. "What the fuck?" Alex asked him.
"That is a red one. Fuck that. We're leaving," Venom refused.
"We're waiting," Cletus mocked.
"I'm having some technical difficulties. Hold on a sec," Alex said to him. "Venom, stop being a bitch and come out."
"No deal," Venom said stubbornly.
"I'll...let you score with my girlfriend in my body if you help me here," Alex offered.
"Yeah!" Venom readily agreed.
Venom charged down the aisles as Carnage shrieked with several bladed tentacles outstretched. "Time to die," Venom said.
"That's the spirit," Alex complimented him.
"I mean, we're about to die," Venom said pessimistically.
Carnage fired several goo projectiles at Venom which he barely dodged by leaping from pew to pew. Carnage swiped at Venom with a bladed tentacle as he got closer. Venom leaped onto a pillar and then fell on top of Carnage with his fist going through his midsection. Venom punched Carnage to the face a few times before being pushed back by a tentacle. Venom blocked two tentacles with his hands and kicked Carnage to the floor. The two wrestled with each other until Carnage threw Venom up against a pillar and then fired darts to keep him pinned. Carnage got closer to Venom extending out more tentacles and getting taller to intimidate him.
Carnage used a single tentacle to dig into Venom's face to get to Alex. In the struggle, Venom freed himself and kicked Carnage away against another pillar. The priest slammed a candlestick filled with lit candles onto Carnage distracting him. Kelly went over to the bells and rang them as hard as she could. With the bells neutralizing both symbiotes, Alex and Cletus fought one-on-one. As they fought, Carnage and Venom would occasionally come out sporadically as the bells continue to ring.
"Once I eat you and your symbiote, I can take down Supergirl," Cletus said to her.
"You haven't eaten me yet," Alex shot back as Venom remerged and threw him against several church pillars before expelling him out the church window.
Carnage stopped himself before hitting the glass window utilizing several tentacles that he attached to the walls of the church. Venom leaped up only to get swatted back down to the floor. Carnage punched Venom a few times and then threw debris on top of him. Kelly, meanwhile, had gone up the stairs to the church clock tower. She repeatedly called for Supergirl from her watch.
Carnage climbed up the clock tower to stop her. "Now that I have Supergirl's sister, I no longer need you." Carnage was about to kill Kelly when Cletus emerged and started struggling for control. "She's my wife," he said delusionally.
"Shut up, fool," Carnage spat.
"Listen, Venom. They're not one. They're not symbiotic. We are. Together, we can win," Alex said to Venom.
"Yes, we are," Venom agreed and threw off the debris.
Venom leaped up to the clock tower with a pipe in his hand and tried to stab at Carnage. Instead, Carnage threw Kelly down the tower shaft while swatting Venom through the clock, itself. Venom held onto Kelly to keep her from falling to her death. "Let there be Carnage," Carnage said victoriously.
Venom extended his arm holding Kelly to the ground floor even as Carnage was strangling him with tentacles. Finally, Carnage stabbed him through the gut with a bladed tentacle. "One of us must die," Carnage said to Venom.
A sonic scream suddenly hit Carnage and Venom knocking them both off the clock tower to the ground floor. The clock tower exploded and crumbled from the force of the sonic scream. The two symbiotes hit the floor hard. Supergirl landed on the ground floor and used a sonic scream to cause Carnage to spasm. Getting closer, she blew frost on him. Carnage shrieked in pain as his tentacles broke off. Realizing he couldn't win with Cletus, he attempted to escape on the floor. Kara fired heat vision on the red blob incinerating it.
Venom got back up and took Cletus by the throat. "You're a killer, Alex, even without the suit," Cletus accused.
"I know," Alex replied as the Venom mask retreated to show her face.
Kara took a step to finish Cletus off but then Venom ate Cletus' head off. Venom then turned to Kara. "I've taken too much damage. We'll both die if I try to heal myself."
"I'll preserve you on my ship and find you a home in the future," Kara promised.
"What about the promise we made to each other?" Alex asked Venom.
"You'll have to do it for the two of us," Venom replied and then detached from her.
Alex fell to a knee exhausted and drained. Venom attached himself to Kara's body. "I have to go or he'll die soon. Will you and Kelly be alright?" she asked.
"We'll be fine. Go," Kelly allowed.
Kara nodded and then flew away with Venom. Alex turned to Kelly. "I'm sorry for endangering your life once more," Alex said sincerely.
"It comes with the territory," Kelly smiled exhaustedly.
That night, Kelly assisted a drained Alex to their apartment and onto the bed. Kelly then took off her shirt and bra in front of Alex. "Kelly...I'm so weak and exhausted. I can't do it right now," Alex admitted.
"I know. Tonight, we can sleep naked and see what may in the morning," Kelly suggested.
"Alright," Alex agreed and started taking her clothes off as well.
The two slept soundly next to each other nude under the sheets.
The next day, Kara was on the Corto Maltese beach enjoying the Caribbean sun and warm ocean. "Thank you for bringing me here," Venom said appreciatively.
"You're welcome, buddy," Kara said. "You know, I didn't think we would get along but after killing all those war criminals together, we make a good team."
"It's said that when you love someone, you tolerate their defects," Venom agreed.
"Defects?" Kara doubted.
"Your lack of a penis," Venom clarified.
"Fair enough," Kara allowed.
"Are you Kara Danvers?" a female prostitute asked in a thick Spanish accent.
"I'm not here and we never met," Kara told the attractive Latina girl.
"Of course. Where would you like to go?" she asked.
"My place isn't far," Kara said taking her to a villa on the beach. Kara waited for the woman to undress and then allowed Venom to cover her in a black suit. "Oh, wow, you're so black and buff," the prostitute said excitedly.
"I know, right?" Venom grinned.
Venom got on top of the woman and used his very long tongue to lick her silly. He then materialized a penis of his own and thrust it inside her. As he did, he made an inhuman screech with his jaws fully open.
Author's Notes: Venom was featured in Adventures of Supergirl Season 2 and was a lot of fun for me to write. I don't think this reaches the same level, but I figured I would do it anyway to show Alex/Kelly's relationship progression before Season 6 ends since CW SG isn't really doing it. A running gag of the series is that the straight Kara is sexually wild and adventurous while Alex has a much more conservative dating life including celibacy even though she's moved in with Kelly. And, of course, Kelly clinically diagnoses everything Alex wants and needs like a patient instead of a partner.
