The cheerleaders locker room at the Midtown gym area; while the football team were getting ready for practice the cheerleaders were getting ready for their own practice. Harry was showing up to show that he was 'in' with the football jocks and cheerleaders. Harry tried to give a flirty smile to the cheerleaders as they had gone to the locker room but Liz glared at him.

"Wow; has Osborn done anything to wind you up Liz? I thought that you didn't seem too happy to see him this morning but now you must have some sort of grudge..." Sally remarked with a laugh but Liz ended up banging her locker door with a punch and she looked apologetic to the other cheerleaders as they looked her way. "Something wrong Liz?" Sally asked looking more concerned upon realising that whatever the issue was; it was wiling her up.

"Sorry Sally but... You know how I told you that Oscorp is trying to buy Allan Chemicals? Well Harry came by my place yesterday and... He was trying to talk me into trying to convince my parents to sell; said that they were being difficult..." Liz sighed and whispered into Sally's ear and Sally had her mouth wide open.

"Did he actually say that... Say the word and I will have him humiliated with a prank... I am going to let Flash know that he is dead to us..." fumed Sally silently and Liz while appreciative of the thought; shook her head.

"I want to keep this private and give Harry a chance to apologise but just keep it on the down low. Peter has his own issues and I don't want him finding out that I am on the outs with his classmate and friend or even why..." Liz told her with a sigh feeling happy that Peter seemed to be doing fine after last night; terrified of what he could be feeling after finding out that he was the host to that thing was why she went through the trouble of picking him up so she could check on him.

"Frankly if Flash was friends with someone who tried to mess with my family like that then I would want him to dump them... At least he had the good sense to steer clear of Seymour after his stunt at your place..." Sally told Liz shaking her head but then they along with all the rest of the cheerleaders jumped as they heard the fire alarm go off.

They ran out after getting their stuff with the football team joining them with the intercom telling the students to make their way safely and calmly to the back of the school and if possible make their way home. "What is happening... Actually after what is now possible; I actually don't want to know..." groaned Sally and Liz was worried about the possibilities as well.

The cheerleaders joined the football team with the terrified looking coach as they gathered together; the coach then led them to the exits to the school's football stadium but then there was a student coming up near them.

"Can you believe this? I just got on my phone to call my parents but I got a trending alert... Venom has been spotted at the gates of this very school!" said the student and this terrified everyone. Liz had a glance at the phone playing the footage and was shocked and scared when she recognised Peter.

Oh no; that thing was not only still around but the new host was targeting her boyfriend!

"I got this... I actually fought Venom last night and it turns out he is scared of fire as in terrified..." Liz whispered to Sally as they were in the line to go out the exit.

"Great; so now you can rescue your geek! Now where is your suit or did you leave it at home..." Sally whispered excitedly and Liz looked sheepish. "We are going to have to find a solution to this..." Sally muttered slapping her forehead in irritation.

Peter couldn't help but be terrified to be at the mercy of Venom here with the symbiote now possessing Kraven the Hunter who didn't mind as much as he did. He remembered the actual awe and reverence on Kraven's face as he gazed upon Peter when he was transformed into Venom. Not only was the Symbiote somehow able to not trigger his Spider-Sense but he brought his knowledge of Peter's secret identity to Kraven and then this situation where he couldn't exactly fight back in fear of exposing said secret.

Peter was then tossed into the walls of the gate and had to dodge as Venom picked up a car and threw it at Peter with everyone running away in terror. Peter groaned as he got himself up and was starting to run in panic as Venom jumped and swinged with his tendrils.

Peter got into an alleyway and wondered if he could even take the chance of Venom catching him when he was changing into his Spider-Man gear; spotting a discarded paper bag, he got a really stupid idea as he ripped out two holes for eyes and put it on his head. "Now I'm taking paper over plastic..." Peter thought in his head as he then began climbing up only for Venom to lunge down and catch him with a tendril.

Peter's 'mask' fell as Venom had caught him by the leg and pulled him up to the rooftops. "This could have all been avoided; you should have just embraced us and finished off the other half! Now we are forced to do this! You know all the people that were in danger and if we had decided to start killing at random... Their blood would have been on your hands!" Venom snapped bringing Peter to the face.

"Blaming me for all this? You really are an abusive ex..." Peter remarked trying to quip to hide just how scared he was, there was police helicopters arriving holding their fire when they saw that Venom had a hostage. Venom then sent out tendrils causing them to crash and Peter freaked out as he tried nto to think of how many people had died from there and the image of Venom's tendrils easily reaching out that long.

"Be grateful that we don't want you killed; think about what you are missing..." Venom spoke as a tendril took Peter to the edge of the building and placed him down. Peter was confused as to why Venom did this but decided to take the opportunity to run home as quickly as possible hoping to make a plan... Or Anything!

Venom smirked at the more police helicopters and cars that arrived thinking that without the hostage that Venom would be easier but the power of the Symbiote made short work of them as the monster escaped through the sewers. "The power is... Beyond what I had dreamed... Why did Parker think to get rid of it... Wasted potential... He could be so much more without the morality... Still he shall give me this one final hunt and it shall be sporting to let him go for now..." Venom spoke as the Symbiote part forming the face ripped away with Kraven facing the Symbiote face.

"We have made him feel, fear, paranoia... Should it be enough to drive him over the edge? We need one thing to drive him over the deep end... Make him what he should have been..." Kraven muttered going through all the knowledge of Peter's memories that the Symbiote had provided him with...

"I know the perfect thing; there is one last source of his weakness... Someone who had filled his head with morals and morality... Poisoned him into being weak and unwilling to commit with him... Once she is dealt with; he shall get to the point of grief and anger where he will provide us both with what we both want more than anything! You a worthy death and me; a worthy host!" the Symbiote told Kraven who grinned as the Symbiote formed the face of Venom once again.

It was tense and scary getting back to the apartment complex for Peter as he knew that Venom could show up at any moment; Venom knew his school schedule and thus could pop up at any moment. He made his way up but found the window open; "Hello again Mr Parker." said a voice and Peter jumped when he saw Liz as Firestar there. "Sorry; I heard that Venom attacked you at your school and I was away from my suit; I was trying to find you but I remembered where to drop you off. Consider yourself under superhero protective custody until Venom shows his horrible face again and I will finish him off!" Liz told him with a smile and Peter felt relaxed.

Venom was pretty powerless against Firestar here and should be okay; "So I have a superhero stalker who broke into my home? What do I tell my girlfriend?" Peter asked as Liz giggled.

"Uh; you're taken... Maybe the next cute boy I rescue could be single..." Liz replied and Peter laughed; he remembered how he as Spider-Man and Firestar each told eachother that they both had a girlfriend and boyfriend respectively. Off course he can't say that without explaining how he could possibly have heard about that.

Peter looked to his phone remembering about his Aunt May and saw some missed calls making him jump in concern; off course May would hear about the incident at school... "Sorry, I need to let my Aunt know that I am safe." Peter told Liz who nodded her head as Peter called the phone.

"Took you long enough Spider." said a familiar Russian voice and Peter felt his mouth wide open. "My new better half told me about how she is your weakness and we caught her at FEAST running out... Don't worry for she is safe... For now at least." Kraven continued on making feel rage at Venom getting to his Aunt and how she is put at risk again.

"You dare to try to hurt her then I swear that..." Peter snapped and Liz looked at him in concern.

"Such protectiveness and anger; if only you had showed that much ruthlessness against those carjackers then perhaps you could have saved Ben..." taunted Kraven and Peter felt his blood boil at Kraven bringing him up. "I want you at this location within the hour if you want a chance to prevent her death; remember that this is all on you..." Kraven told him and gave him the location.

Peter ended the call and looked to Liz and then ran out of the door before Liz could even question him. Peter went down a flight of stairs and seeing the entrance to the fire escape and without anyone around; he jumped out.

He quickly changed into his Spider-Man stuff and climbed up the top of the building; he noticed Liz floating in the air looking down, obviously trying to catch Peter as he went out of the entrance to the apartment building. He knew that he had to focus on getting to the location to rescue his Aunt May and to make Venom pay for this...
