VENOM: SEASON1
CHAPTER 4: ORIGIN PART 2 (1 OF 1)
…..Huh? What happened? We're….We're back home. But...I never made it back to the apartment building, let alone back in my bed, in my undies, and fast asleep at…..oh, I get it, it was just a very crazy dream we had.
…...Wait, "We?" "We're?" Why the heck did We just say "We"? It's not like We- okay, other than this being a minor annoyance, it's not that big a deal, so we go back to sleep.
As if We needed more things for Jackson and the rest of the Jackass crew to make fun of us for.
(Matthew….Matthew…..Matthew…..MATTHEW!)
(AHHHHHHHHHH!)
We wake up in a cold sweat, absolutely terrified of what We saw in the dream. It was the same thing from the ending of the last dream, but this time, We were in a pitch black void instead of the forest, and it held us in it's grasp, suffocating us.
After that We looked at the clock, it said 6:25, Thirty-five minutes before the bus was supposed to pick us up!
We made a mad dash to the shower, but We stopped when We saw a sight that made me forget all about what We were doing.
It….it was my body…..but…..but completely healthy, no purple littering the entirety of our midsection, it was our normal shade of white, but the scars were still there, but those would take a miracle to get rid of.
Not only that, but….We were fricking ripped! We mean, not just a normal beach body, We mean We should've been on steroids from how ripped We were!
After the initial sight, We also realized something else.. We didn't feel any pain whatsoever. Nor did We feel tired. We just felt….healthy for the first time in years. We just stood there, in that one spot for a good minute, but realized We should probably take our shower, and get to school.
We almost didn't make it, because dad made me him his breakfast, and iron out his suit for work, but We made it, and We were in the clear, cause this week, school started having sectors for busses cause they could finally afford more of them, so no Lucy asking us if we were okay at the start of the day, and no Jackson to ruin the start either.
But that won't last, especially with Jackson and the pussycats.
Okay, something's wrong. Jackson and his gang look like they've seen a ghost, We mean, they look terrified for some reason. We don't know what's going on with them, but We sure as heck weren't looking to find out what it was.
And, just a We suspected, Luce came running up to us and… started to hug the life out of us, guess that conversation did happen…but…..doesn't that mean the rest of the dream happened too?...Nah.
Anyway, Luce was so happy to see us, it was as if she thought We died. She was bombarding us with questions like "Where did you go?!" and requests like "Please don't ever make me worry like that again!", you know, just your usual happy to know that you're alive moments.
But she starts to slow down, and stops completely when she sees our body, and We knew that those were the next set of questions.
'After school, I want us to meet at Mark's so I can ask how you're all like….this.'
We pull her into the janitor's closet, just so We can tell her 'Listen, We know about as much as you on how this happened, and We want find out as much as you do, so, yeah, lets go to Mark's and talk'
'Wait, " We"?'
'Yeah, that's new too.'
'Yeah, I can tell.'
'So, Mark's?'
Yeah…Mark's.'
As We leave, We hear her whisper to herself,
'What happened to you last night?'
(We….wish we knew ourselves.)
After that little interaction, school went normally for once, thank God, and We were headed to Mark's.
Mark's{™ Me} is this great pizza place that us and Luce have gone to since We were little kids.
When We get there, Lucy is waiting for us at the entrance, looking a little annoyed, but she knows We had to walk here.
We seat ourselves, and we start off with a little small talk about school, sports, how life is treating her, and all the usual stuff, but after we get our pizza, the "interrogation" begins.
'Matt, I know you really don't like to talk about….you know….your life, but I….I….really can't take you not telling me about what's going on, I mean, you understand I'm just trying to help….right?'
We take a bite out of our pepperoni, and answer her.
'Yeah Luce….We understand, but….We really don't know what's going on…..this,' We point at our body, 'but...We want to find out as much as you do, it's just….We don't know what could have caused this….We're sorry.'
She looks at us with worry, and starts to reassure us that,'Hey, hey, hey, it's alright, look, if you don't know what happened, you don't know what happened, but you wanna find out, and I'll help you with that, but….this had to have happened after…..'
'Yeah, but…...how could this have happened overnight? …..Unless…..'
'Unless what?'
'Last night wasn't a dream.'
Bingo bango, Jackass.
We nearly fell out of our seat, but were able to catch ourselves, cause We really didn't want to cause a scene.
'Matt, are you alright!?'
'Yeah, yeah….We're fine...but...'
'But what?'
'It sounded like….someone talked to us.'
She looked confused, so that told me that she didn't hear it, but We knew that someo-
Shut uuuupppppp, you're so loud, be quiet!
Okay, something's not right here so ask Luce,'Can we leave, We swear something's just…...off?'
'Yeah, I feel it too. Let's go.'
After that we walked a couple blocks, talking about the "dream" We had last night.
'Those pieces of shit, what the hell's wrong with them!?'
'Many have that question, none have gotten an answer.'
'What the hell is wrong with them...just what the hell!'
'Exactly.'
'So, what happened after?'
'Well, this is the part that really makes us wonder if it was a dream, because it doesn't make any rational sense.'
'So, We're bleeding out, and Jackson was, well, We thought was coming to finish the job, but one of his bitch boys, We don't remember which, said, "Hey Jackson, why kill him from the outside, when we could kill him from the inside?", and then he pulled out this bottle of completely black liquid….'
We took a moment to catch our breath, and We continued.
'And believe it or not, Jackson tried to come to the rescue.'
'WHAT!?'
'Yeah, We know, anyways, he gets held back by his gang, and they poured it down my throat. They make us drink about three quarters of the bottle and pour the rest on us, and just leave us for dead.'
We took a look at Luce and saw that she was fighting to keep in tears, so We gave her a hug, and after a minute she calms down.
'Alright, anyway, it turns out those assholes are blackmailing him, cause they had...something, We aren't sure what it was, and it made him freeze in his tracks, and he and the others left, and he looked back and said "I'm sorry.".'
'Huh (sniff), who thought he had that in him?'
'We know, right? So, as We were laying there, thinking that was the end, ,We think We lost too much blood at the time, because the liquid came to life and engulfed us.'
She looked at us like We were crazy, and We're with her in that regard.
'Yeah, We know, it's crazy, We mean that's impossible.'
'(sigh), As much as I'd like to agree with you, this is all we got, so, until further evidence comes up, this, I can't believe that I'm about to say this, this is what we're sticking with, for now at least.'
'Yeah, that's fai-' And out of nowhere, We get clocked in the face. Life is fun, isn't it?
'Hey Axel, how's life going?'
Axel looks down at us, frustration clear as day on his face.
'How? How the hell did you survive last night? And this body, just what the hell?! You're gonna tell us how the hell you're alive, how the hell you became a tank within a few hours, then we're gonna finish the job, just like we should've done last night!'
'Heh, wish We knew ourselves, but if you wanna kill us this time', We say as we get up, 'You've got a toughe- OOF.' Yeah, should've remembered they came in packs.
The Jack pack came in to make the save, and it went all downhill from there. They kicked us, punched us, and bashed our head into the concrete. Luce tried to get them to stop, but that bitch Natasha, Luce's own bully, came in and cleaned her clock, pushed her down to the ground, then grabbed Luce's hair, pulled her head up and forced her to watch, smiling the entire time.
After a minute passed, one of those kidney stones realized that they really shouldn't be doing this out in the open, so they dragged us and Luce into an alley, and continued the beating there.
'I swear, you really are too much trouble… for anyone. So we're really doing everyone a favor by taking care of you before you cause anyone else trou-'
We spat in that asshole's face, and he was pissed.
'Alright, you wanna die already huh?! Well I've got just the solution for that!'
And, guess what? Jackass pulls out a handgun with a silencer on it, it was probably his dads, given, 1, his dad might as well have an armory, and 2, he has no license, so he had no business being anywhere near one.
'Say goodbye, you piece of shit!'
'Ma-'
POP!
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
...Huh? How…how the heck are We still alive? We should be six feet underground… but...We're still he-
'Okay, just stop. Just fucking STOP!
When We heard that, We felt something come through our chest, and low and behold, the same thing from our "dreams" phased through our clothes, huh, so We guess that wasn't a dream after all.
'No shit.'
'You...you can read our thoughts?'
'Of course We can, what would We do if We couldn't communicate with our host on an...even playing field?'
'(Sigh), so you're the liquid that those jerks made us drink, you decided our body was a good home, and you can read our mind, great, (sigh), as if We needed that… wait, where's Luce?'
'The girl was taken away by those people, they said something about "having some fun with her."
Our eyes opened wide, and We immediately started to panic, bu-
"Dude, We get you're worried, but don't worry, We heard where they were taking her."
'Wait, really!? Where!?'
'Calm down, first, you must do us one favor.'
'What is it?! We'll do anything!'
'You stay our host.'
'Dude, really that's all you wanted?! As if We had a choice in the matter anyways! Help us,and We'd be more than happy to be your host!'
'Then…do We have a deal?'
'YES!'
'Good, but you won't be in control once We get there.'
'What does that mean?'
It smiles this horrible cheshire cat smile and says,
'You'll see.'
As We run, We had one more question to ask.
'Hey, what is your name anyway?'
'We…are VENOM..and you…..
…
…
...
...
…
…
...are going the wrong way, idiot.'
…
…
...
'...Oh, for FU-'
