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.]

[ She snorts a laugh. Simplistic, and yet... ]

Yeah, probably.

Wolves do have a lot of advantages on humans. [ She counts them off on one hand. ] Short-distance speed, reflexes, hearing, smell, night vision, not to mention claws and teeth. I imagine a wolf man would lose some of that speed and reflex, and size is something that can definitely be used against you.

[ Why is she strategizing for a hypothetical werewolf attack ]

Anyway, grown men have trouble with wolves, and kids wouldn’t stand a chance. Plus the bacteria in a wolf’s mouth will cause an infection in a human if you don’t wash a bite out well enough.

Actually, rabies is probably the origin of the werewolf stories. Normally wolves would steer clear of humans, because we’re too dangerous. But a rabid wolf isn’t afraid of anything, and will wander around at odd times like the middle of the day or night. Saliva is the most common infection route for rabies, and it’s an incredibly deadly disease. So anyone encountering a wolf alone in the woods is likely to get bit and die because of it and I’m rambling now aren’t I.

[ She blushes to have been caught being a nerd. ]

Sorry. I’ll stop.

[imareporter]

If there is a rabid wolf we will battle it. We will not get hurt.

[Venom is not entirely sure about this but he's also willing to try it. He'll ask Eddie about it. It would be worth it to know it right?]

So you do not have to worry. Or stop. We want to know everything. Eddie knows much of it but he does not know all of it.

[ She smiles sheepishly. ]

There's not a lot that I'm super knowledgeable about, but I always did well in history. And my mom's a nurse, so I know waaaay more about medicine than I ever really wanted to.

[imareporter]

We are the only medicine Eddie needs. History however...Is it true there have been two world wars?

[spoileralert]

[ She grimaces. Not a nice story for Earth. ]

Yeah, that's true. And the first one kinda caused the second one.
