UN: We Are Venom

[imareporter]

[Is it time? Past time. Between 7 and Nida and now with Stark's blessing - Eddie can't wait any longer. Come hell or high water as the world turns darker there are more and more people who know...

He can't forget that winter is coming.

This is uncomfortable. We have never been this open before. Venom's voice in his head is anxious. Eddie turns on the camera and he looks his usual pale and shaky self. Beads of sweat ooze down his head and he gags heavily.]

Hey guys. Eddie Brock here. Your friendly neighborhood reporter...guy. Who is a...[He swallows] Okay so. There's some folks who know this...

[he shakes his head]

I'm saying this wrong.

[Eddie gags again and when he speaks he sounds...different.]

Eddie. Talk Stupid

[he coughs again, nearly leaning to the floor before he comes up with a grunt.]

Stop! fucking stop trying to talk through my throat okay that hurts like hell - !

[No. That's disconcerting. Something black swims through his vision, visibly inhuman. He grips his knees.]

Right. Okay. Long story short. I'm Eddie Brock. I'm a reporter. I believe firmly in...[He swallows and coughs.] Vox Populi Vox Dei. The voice of the people is the voice of God. Back home I did that...and I hurt people I care about doing it.

[His eyes are red rimmed and he looks sick.]

I'll never be able to apologize enough but it's okay. Cause I...well. I met Venom. Who is Venom. Well. That's what this...video is about.

[ugh. he yawns hard and sighs]

I'm usually a lot better on camera. Sorry. Sorry.

So this guy. Carlton Drake. If you're from the same universe as Tony Stark and Bruce Banner and everybody else you might know him. Head of the Life Foundation? So...He was bad news bears. He kidnapped... [yawn] Homeless people in San Francisco and he was trying to ...feed them to aliens. Well, bond them to aliens. From a planet. Called Klyntar-

[Augh. His guts churn.]

I went to investigate the place. To rescue a woman I knew. Her name was Maria. Shit. Shit I don't have much time...

That's what I'm saying! Eddie I need you to focus!

[Eddie Swoons.]

I agreed...to be a host for...the symbiote. That's what they are. We fit. Perfect match one in a million in the galaxy. Drake... and Venom...decided to stay...hes...

[But Eddie gets no further as he slumps in his chair. A few moments pass before something Happens. It's slow as his body vanishes and swells into something decidedly inhuman. The creature sits up and sniffs before staring down at the camera. One big milky white eye focuses on it.]

What Eddie didn't say is that we defeated Drake and saved the day. He is a loser. I am a loser. Together we are greater then the sum of our parts. We are mighty warriors! And we will now take questions. Like Eddie does. When he is a reporter he asks questions. Ask us questions! now!

[It's probably not a good thing that this great hulking thing has it's teeth out but he nods. His tongues lolls out of it's mouth as it gets uncomfortably close to the camera.]

I'm sorry. It wasn't my secret to tell.

[notsoangry]

I said it's fine.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Right.










I'll be bunking with Rhodey for the next couple of nights.

Private

[notsoangry]

I'm sorry. It's irrational. I didn't think we kept secrets from each other.

[nonstopnarcissist]

It's fine.

[ It's not fine. ]

Wasn't mine to tell, or I would have.

[notsoangry]

Seriously you're it's fining ME now.

[nonstopnarcissist]

You started it!

[notsoangry]

You literally sleep with someone who knows everything about being a guy living with a violent rage monster, you couldn't just WALK him here and go hey, Eddie, why don't you two have a chat? Or gone, hey Bruce, there's this new guy, no details but I feel like he'd benefit from talking to you, here's his name.

[nonstopnarcissist]

I TRIED to get him to talk to you! You haven't seen this guy, he's a nervous wreck, it was worse before, and that second half of his is kind of fucking dangerous if not held in check, okay?

You're not invulnerable anymore!

[notsoangry]

Yeah, I know, you could say I have the closest thing to a PhD in that as someone can get. The good part is that Eddie can reason with him so clearly, he's rational. I appreciate that you made him feel safe enough to do this, because that's what you did wth me, and it's your instinct to help people like us.

But fear goes both ways, Tony, you know that. He could have killed you and no one would have known.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Point to the part in what I've done that is at all out of character for me. This is what I do, you know this. It's nothing new.

[notsoangry]

I said I was sorry and it was irrational and I meant it. I don't like being blindsided by something that hits so close to home. You know that this is triggering.

[nonstopnarcissist]

I thought he'd talk to you, I should've followed up on it or given you a headsup but honestly when he mentioned coming out I didn't think he'd mean RIGHT THIS SECOND.

Is this what it's like to be Pepper?


Was. What it was like to be-

fuck.











Won't happen again.

[notsoangry]

Hey. I love you. I'm sorry. I don't want to make things worse for you.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Still sleeping in the doghouse for a few nights.

[notsoangry]

This is your bed, I'm the one in the dog house, I'll leave.

[nonstopnarcissist]

I'm the one that did wrong, ergo, I am in the doghouse.

[notsoangry]

Tony, I overreacted and I made you feel terrible because of my own issues. If you want to sleep with Rhodey that's totally okay, however long you want, but I'm not mad.

[nonstopnarcissist]

bruce i swear if you make me type something like 'your emotions are valid' i might throw up. that is a thing that will happen.

[notsoangry]

You just typed them.

[nonstopnarcissist]

you hear that noise in the bathroom? That's me.

[notsoangry]

Please hydrate. Don't hate me

I'm having a good conversation with Venom now. I'll talk to Eddie when he's back around.

[nonstopnarcissist]

Already am. With tea.

Pretty sure it's a mild bug so don't worry.







I don't hate you. I could never hate you.

[notsoangry]

I am made of worry. It's healthy fuss.

You say the words, and I hear/read them, but I panic anyway. It's stupid.

[nonstopnarcissist]

We're fine, Bruce. I mean we're good? We're ok.
