Submitted by: SpideyFan914
"The last thing I need is the return of the Green Goblin!" Spider-Man says. "Only thing more horrifying is double-date at Flash Thompson's! Or.... Eddie Brock?!?!"
He web-zips down to the boardwalk right in front of Eddie.
"Oh, man! It - it is you! I-I've been looking all over for you!"
"Um, wait –" Eddie stammers. "You're, um.... not supposed to have confirmed anything...."
"Huh?"
"Um, yeah.... Can you just, like, forget about these past few seconds and, um, go back to being paranoid....?"
"Why would I....? You - you were planning something, weren't you!"
"Oh, ****!"
"You were trying to make me paranoid enough to lead you back to the symbiote, weren't you? That's - that's - diabolical!!!!"
"So, um, yeah.... Can you please just.... Damn!"
"Now you are sick, bro! You are sick!"
"Well I didn't know you would web-zip down here!"
"And why wouldn't I?"
"Oh, I don't know - m-maybe the.... the museum alarm would've.... gone off or.... something...."
".... You were depending upon forces beyond your control to reunite you with the symbiote to bring back a homocidal monster....?"
"Hey, you never know what Weisman'll come up with next."
"Who's -? Bro, you wanna know what - you're crazy! C-R-A-Z-Y - crazy! And I've met some pretty crazy people!"
"C'mon! All I want is the one I love!"
"Uh-huh.... Like I said - crazy! You wanna know what - now I'm not gonna do it! Now I'll never show you where the symbiote is and you won't get it! So ha!" He web-swings away, leaving Eddie to fall on knees in defeat....

Later, at ESU Labs....
The Connors, Warren, Peter, Gwen, and Debra are all working when suddenly, without any warning, the door opens, and someone falls in headfirst. He's bleeding.
"Oh my -" Gwen runs up to check on him, and turns him over. "Oh man - it's Eddie!"
"Eddie?" Dr. Connors exclaims. "Where've you been? What - what happened to you?"
Eddie gasps for breath. "Sp- Spider-Man.... It was.... Spider-Man...."
"I'm calling an ambulance."
As Eddie is driven away, he smiles. Parker.... If Venom can't make your life a living hell, then Eddie Brock will....
