Ch1

Cat Noir was out alone patrolling the streets of Paris, as he often did late at night, keeping an eye out for any trouble. Quiet night. I wonder how Ladybug is doing not that I mind? He didn't mind the occasional solo outing since it gave him the opportunity to loosen up and be himself a bit more.

Yet deep down he couldn't help but feel a bit bitter at their partnership. It seemed everyday Ladybug had another hero and another secret to hide from him. It wasn't that he was jealous but they were supposed to be partners and it seemed with each day she decided to hide more and more from him.

I can get over you not wanting to see me in a romantic light but would it kill her to keep me in the loop? The safety of Paris is on the line.

As he sat on a roof he noticed something in the distance, a large shape falling from the sky. What's that? Squinting his eyes he saw it land on the ground creating a loud crashing sound. Better check it out.

Gripping his baton he quickly headed towards where the object landed. It was in a quiet park far removed from the city and used by the seedier elements of the city. Landing in the park he noticed a large crater in the ground.

What the hell. The hairs on his neck stood up as he looked at the large hole in the ground. Gripping his baton he carefully approached the pit and tried to see through the smoke.

Suddenly, he heard a strange hissing noise and turned around to see a black gooey substance moving towards him. "Stand back!" Gripping his baton he was about to attack but the strange substance moved quicker. Before he knew what was happening, the substance lunged at him and covered him.

He struggled, but the goo seemed to be alive and was slowly taking over his body. What is this thing.

A strange presence hit his mind. You seem strong who are you? The voice was gruff and low and reverberated throughout his body.

"What are you?" He asked. His body was overwhelmed as a strange sensation washed over him. He wanted to scream and call out to someone but it was just him and whatever this thing was.

"You can call me Venom," The voice said. "I'm sort of in need of a host and you'll have to do. I can sense your desire for justice, you'll make a great host."

Before he could protest a surge of energy passed through his body like an electric shock going through his body. He wanted to scream as the being's powerful presence merged with his very own.

"I sense your desire to do good and protect those you love. Trust me you'll need my strenght for what is to come," Venom said.

As the symbiote merged with him, he felt his muscles growing stronger and his senses becoming more acute. He could hear every sound in the city, close and far. It was maddening at first but he as he opened his eyes he realized his senses felt clearer and stronger as he could make out the details of the buildings in the distance and the birds in the sky

"What did you do to me?" He muttered as he stumbled to a nearby fountain.

Cat Noir looked at himself in the water and was shocked at what he saw. His suit had become darker as it was covered in a mysterious substance, and his muscles were much more defined. His eyes glowed bright green, and his claws had grown longer and sharper. While in the middle of his chest right under his bell was a stylized spider.

"I am Venom. No now we are Venom Noir." Venom's voice rang in his head. The creature chuckled in his head. "I guess I do have a habit of picking up the hero types.

Rubbing his head he noticed his muscles were bulging with power, and his physique had become more defined and toned than ever before. What the hell happened to me?

He flexed his biceps and watched as they rippled and bulged. Nice. Tracing the muscles he couldn't help but be impressed. His chest was now a solid wall of muscle, and his abs were chiseled and defined like never before. He ran his fingers over his new physique, feeling the power coursing through his veins.

"Like what you feel? I can make you stronger if you want?" Venom asked.

"For now we are good," He said as he felt his large bicep. Not bad. Not bad at all. "So are you good or bad?"

Venom laughed in his head. "You can say I'm a lethal protector.

The transformation had given him not only physical strength but also mental clarity. He felt more confident and self-assured than he had ever been before. It was as if his senses were a hundred times stronger than before.

"Alright Venom was it? What are you?"

To his surprise the symbiote pulled away from him to create a large spider like head with white eyes and rows of razor sharp teeth. "I'm a symbiote. I need a host and when I latched onto you I felt your desire for justice."

"U-Uh ok." He stared awkwardly at the head in front of him. "Um I'm Adrien but my alter ego is Cat Noir." A part of him was surprised at how quick he revealed himself but he could tell this thing probably already knew who he was.

"Nice to meet you," Venom said with a wide grin. "I look forward to working with you."

"Thanks. But what can I do?" he asked.

The head looked at him curiously. "Mostly I can take over your body and you can use my strenght at your disposal. Lets have some fun though." Venom's head than retreated into his body.

He stumbled back and grabbed his baton. At least this is still here. Taking a deep breath he bolted across the parks. He was taken aback by his speed, he was running at a faster rate than before and using his baton he leaped into the air and flew through the sky.

Man this is exhilarating. He laughed as he landed on the roof creating a small hole in the cement. Looking up at the moon a grin spread across his face. I wonder what else I can do with this power.

Holding out his hand he noticed the symbiote began to move. Focusing on it he imagined it was a whip and flung his arm. To his surprise the symbiote extended from his body like a rope and struck the top of the roof breaking pieces of it off. He laughed. Looks like I'll have to figure these things out for myself. But now I should go home now.

With that he quickly headed home, his mind racing with the countless possibilities of using this new power. He was surprised with how quickit was, Venom's powers definitely enhanced the miraculous. I'll research it when I get the chance.

He landed in his room and stood in front of his mirror and looked himself over. I'm not going to lie I look cool. The symbiote retracted into his body as if sensing he was done for the evening leaving his regular Cat Noir outfit. "Claws in."

He was surprised to see that the clothes he was wearing beneath before were now sort of stretching from his new found muscles. "Well that take some explaining he sighed.

Plagg came out of his ring. "I felt that guy inside of me." The kwami shivered. "I never heard of a symbiote before."

To his surprise Venom came out of his skin, his dark face forming. "A pleasure to meet you."

Plagg jumped back. "Hey don't do that!"

Venom laughed. "Don't worry I won't hurt you or our Adrien."

"Our Adrien?" Plagg said sounding protective.

"Guys come on lets talk about this in the morning," he yawned. "I'm exhausted." His body ached all over as he took a step forward.

He quickly pulled off his clothes and looked himself in the mirror. "Damn Venom what did you do to my body?" His skinny body now had a bit of developed muscle on them.

"I thought you could bulk up a bit to fit my form better," Venom said. "Don't worry you'll grow into it."

"Whatever." He shook his head as the fatigue was starting to get to him. After getting his pajamas on he quickly went to bed.

Symbiotes. What the hell is going on? A part of him thought it was all a dream, that was until he woke up with extreme hunger and to the sound of Venom and Plagg arguing.

"No brains are the best," Venom hissed.

"Hell no Camembert Cheese is the best," Plagg insisted.

"Guys come on it's still too early for this," he muttered as he got out of bed. A pang of hunger hit him, he couldn't remember when he had been this hungry but he needed to eat right away.

I still have to figure out what this symbiote thing is. After getting dressed he quickly went to eat breakfast and told the chef to make a lot.

"I need brains," Venom said. "When can I eat some?"

He did his best to not spit out what he was eating. "Um can't you eat normal food?" Frankly he didn't know what an alien like Venom was supposed to eat.

"I want what I like," Venom said defensively. The door to the dinning room opened and the symbiote retreated into his body.

Nathalie came in and looked him over. "Your clothes look tight on you."

He laughed awkwardly as he avoided her gaze. "I've um been working out."

"Well I'll take your measurements later we'll have to make sure your new clothes fit you," Nathalie said as typed on her tablet.

"Thanks." After finishing his food he quickly went to his room and closed the door. "So Venom what else can you do?"

The symbiote quickly enveloped his body as he felt the symbiote take more control. "Like this," Venom said as a dark suit enveloped him.

He stared at himself in the mirror, the symbiote suit or whatever it was now covered his body and he looked like a large muscular alien complete with a large white spider symbol was in the middle of his chest.

"This is my form," Venom said. "I can take control of your body and help you fight against our enemies."

He winced as he saw Venom's jaw full of razon sharp teeth and a large tongue. "Uh sure. Who are they again."

"Other symbiotes," Venom said. "They may come to do harm do your world. If we find them we must defeat them. Trust me they all aren't friendly as me."

"I see." The symbiote retreated into his body leaving him as himself. More stuff I'll have to figure out. He was still processing this entire symbiote thing but deep down he felt excited, yeah Venom's request for human flesh disturbed him but he was willing to see how it would work. "Listen just so long as my dad doesn't find out we are good."

"Deal," Venom said. The symbiote gave him a toothy grin. "I expect you to keep me entertained."

"I'll um do my best." With that he went to get ready for his day. To be honest it was a little nerve racking walking around with an alien symbiote inside of him but thankfully Venom didn't bother him too much at school. Yet all the same he could feel him observe the world through him, almost like a sixth sense of some sort.

All was going well until he heard screams outside. "Attention all students please find a secure place an akuma is near the school," Said a voice over the intercom.

Great another attack. He quickly ran to the bathroom and locked the door. "Plagg claws out!"

As soon as he was transformed into Cat Noir Venom's head popped out of his body. "Let me help out."

Before he could answer he felt the symbiote's power envelope him. In an instant his leather outfit was covered by the symbiote while the white spider symbol appeared on his chest.

"Great lets go!" As he raced out of the bathroom he was impressed by how exhilarating the feeling was, he felt freer than before.

As he landed on a roof, he was greeted by the sight of Mr. Pigeon dropping pigeon bombs on people.

"I can help," Venom said in his head.

His hand moved on its own as it a dark mass of tendrils launched form his arm and grabbed Mr. Pigeon and throwing him to the ground.

"Cat Noir!" He turned around and saw Ladybug looking at him in shock. "What happened to you?"

He laughed awkwardly. "Um an upgrade?" His teammate raised an eyebrow, her posture turning rigid as if thinking he might be a threat. "No seriously I'm fine."

"Focus!" Venom said.

He snapped his head and saw Mr. Pigeon struggling to get up. His mind focused on where his akumatized object usually was and he ran at it. "Cataclysm!"

The akumatized object was destroyed with a loud bang that destroyed some of the area around Mr. Pigeon. Wow that had more kick in it than I thought it would.

"Miraculous Ladybug!" His partner quickly fixed the mess and when it was all over she frowned. "What happened to your suit? I thought the akuma did it?"

He swallowed and shifted awkwardly. "Um long story but-"

Venom made him slap himself. "Don't tell her about me yet. Not everyone should know about symbiotes."

"But we are partners." Yet a part of him was cautious about telling Ladybug, he didn't know how she would react and Venom so far wasn't hurting anybody. Beside she keeps her own secrets from me.

"Are you sure you are ok?" Ladybug asked. "What's going on with you?"

"I'm fine," he said quickly. "Just a little tired. "See you around got to go!"

With that he quickly leaped off the building. Well that was close.

Venom's head came out of his body. "You can't trust everyone about me, it could draw unwanted attention."

"But we work together," he said.

"If you trust her maybe in time you can tell her, but right now it isn't a good idea." The symbiote paused and looked out at the city. "I have enemies out there and they are more than willing to destroy this world. Besides all partners have their limits. Don't tell me she never kept anything form you?"

He avoided the symbiote's eyes. He knew that Ladybug was getting more secretive with him by the day and knew things that he didn't and even though he tried to work through it he was bothered by it.

He clenched his fists and landed on a roof. She has secrets why shouldn't I? Turning to Venom's head he smiled at the symbiote. "You know you're right."

Venom smiled at him. "I believe we'll make a good team. I intend to have a lot of fun in this world."

He looked at the time. "Come on I have fencing."

The symbiote frowned. "You don't honestly follow that long boring schedule right?"

He avoided Venom's gaze. "Y-Yeah."

Venom frowned. "We have a lot to work on."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I mean is that you need to have some fun in life," Venom said.

He stared at the symbiote and deep down he agreed with the symbiote. Plagg gave me a new lease on life as Cat Noir. Now with Venom he felt as if his world were going to open up farther.

Looking down at his hand he traced the symbiotic suit and smiled as a burning determination built up inside of him. "Well if you put it that I think we can have some fun."


AN: I will be basing Venom here strictly on the interpretation of the Sony movies. I haven't read the comics so if any weaknesses or plot elements concerning Venom's character aren't in the movies then I most likely won't include it here. As for other symbiotes I will just stick with Riot and Carnage for now since I am familiar with them in the movies. Also no Spiderman won't appear either.

Anyway hope you all enjoy this story and see how Venom encourages Adrien to loosen up a bit. Please like, follow, and review.
