[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.]

We Are Venom

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I don't know if there is a god, but it does seem pretty cruel to create us so flawed and prone to melancholy. When you get frustrated with him, just remember, it's how we're made. Brain chemistry is endlessly complex and brutally unstable. You're a new partnership. Eventually a lot of these issues will be ironed out and you'll live as harmoniously as possible.

Hrm.

[Venom snorts. When he speaks venom sounds as sincere as he can.]

...We are sorry it did not work out for you and your...other. A bond is personal so that is the last we will say on that.

Thanks. I'm actually moderately surprised you two stayed together, this place has a way of separating us from all abilities or things that made us supernatural before. It's probably because you are an individual on your own, rather than a split personality.

...This place. Venom's growl is deep. This place is not physically terrible but the toll it takes on people.

We are two who become one. So there are 3 of us.

So there's two of you individually and then a third together? [interesting.]

Two become one. Eddie needs all the help he can get he is...a mess. But as Venom we are stronger.

He wants to be a hero.

It sounds like the two of you did something very heroic.

We were SO heroic. Eddie acquitted himself well. He has...wanted to be heroic for a long time. It was my hope to encourage that.

You made a good start today. Just remember to tell him to contact me when he's awake.
