Midtown High's Podcast
You didn't see Cletus at school after Monday. This was a good thing. You saw Eli everyday after Monday. This was a bad thing. You made it through the week. This was a good thing. School was long and boring. This was a bad thing. You stopped three robberies. This was a good thing. The Lizard was still running around. This was a bad thing. You went on two dates with Felicia. This was a good thing. Viv was still mad at you. This was a bad thing.
This concludes the list of good and bad things over the week.
Your headaches had actually calmed down and your powers had fully returned to normal. Your electricity was still hard to control so you practiced on your free time. Venom helped out to if it got too out of control. If you weren't in the simulator you were with the others either messing around or just hanging out. You tried to make up with Viv but she always found a solid reason for avoiding you. Seriously, how long was she going to keep this up?
You also spent more time with Felicia on your down time. Of course you couldn't bring her to the tower, super hero identity and what not, so you had to go to her place. This mostly resulting in cuddles and take out food. She even invited some of the others over as well. You were glad that everyone got along so well. You even learned Marvel's real name.
Marvel: My name is actually Kamala Khan.
She even took off her mask. You never realized just how much that mask didn't cover until you saw her without it. Seems that she was comfortable with you now.
You were also practicing more with Venom. The two of you were getting better at working together in symbiote mode. He was able to strengthen everything which was amazing. You moved faster, hit harder, and you could swing around like Miles and Gwen. It was awesome! You were even working on somehow using your flames in symbiote mode.
AND YOU GOT A SUPERHERO NAME!
You finally decided to use the Frankenstein thing Black Cat always called you. Until Kamala pointed out that Frankenstein was the scientist and not the actual monster.
Kamala: Sorry that the name didn't work out.
Sam: It still could. Frankenstein's Monster?
Miles: Too long.
Laura: Just call him Monster. He has one attached to him.
Venom: I like you better when you don't talk.
Laura: I like you better when you're locked up.
Kitty: I like Monster.
Danny: I also vote Monster.
Miles: To hell with it.
So yeah. Monster was now your name. It wasn't much but it was something. Things were just falling into place.
NOW IF ONLY YOU COULD FIND CLETUS!
That ginger dick was still on the loose. And you were furious. He went missing after the bomb stunt and you couldn't find him anywhere. No one could! He literally just up and vanished off the face of the world.
At least it was Friday now meaning it was time to go to Film Club! Hopefully it was as fun as you hope it will be. Venom kept giving you crazy about it whenever you brought it up. You made a mental not to put him to sleep before you went to the Film Room. You had texted Nadia back and forth somewhat during the week as well. She seemed like a fun person. Very smart.
Quentin: Hey Y-Y/N!
You were on your way to your next class when Quentin spotted you in the hallway. You waved at him and waited until he reached you.
Quentin: S-so tonight we're g-going to be meeting in t-the film r-room.
Y/N: I can't wait. What movie are we watching?
Quentin: We'll b-be starting a marathon of t-the Friday T-The 13th m-movies.
Y/N: Friday The 13th? I don't think I've seen those.
Something new? Hell yes. Maybe this could help you with some new moves. Plus you get to meet someone new as well!
Venom: Ah! You're sssuch a dork!
Y/N: And you're stuck with me.
You went back to the tower since you still had time before you had to be back at the school. About 4 hours. Maybe you can catch a nap or get some training in.
Sam: Don't you have some club thing you're supposed to be at?
Y/N: At 7.
Sam: Cool.
He went back to eating his chips while he and Viv watched TV. You began to head to your room when Venom stopped you by grabbing onto the wall.
Y/N: What are you doing?
Venom: Watching you and that android beat around the busssh isss annoying. Go fix thingsss.
You sighed. Since when did he because the reasonable one? You turned back to the couch and walked over to your teammates. You sat on the other side of Sam who kept eating his chips. The only sound in the room was Sam's crunching and the person on the TV ranting about super heroes. Sam looked at you and then at Viv.
Sam: This is really uncomfortable. Two of my friends, who clearly need to clear the air with their unresolved serial tension, are having problems they need to sort out. Neither know what to do creating this awkward air to every conversation. It will most definitely end in blood shead.
He got comfortable.
Sam: I live for moments like this.
You rolled your eyes and glared at him.
Y/N: Since you're so informed about the situation, can you give us a moment to talk things out?
Sam: Nope.
Venom appeared on your shoulder and got extremely close to Sam.
Venom: Leave. Now.
Sam grabbed his chips and rushed out of the room. Venom gave you a wink before disappearing back under your shirt. It was just you and Viv now. The awkwardness was very clear.
Y/N: Look...
Viv stood up.
Viv: I have homework to work on.
She went to leave but you grabbed her arm. She jerked it away and turned to you. She didn't look happy.
Y/N: Cut the bullshit Viv. You've been avoiding me for the past two weeks. I'm sorry I didn't call you when I got home! I was busy!
Viv: It's not about that.
Y/N: Then what the hell is wrong Viv?
Viv: I just want you to stop making me feel this way!
Y/N: What way?!
Viv: I DO NOT KNOW!
You were taken aback at her sudden outburst. Viv never yelled like that before. She covered her face and sat back down the couch. Unbeknownst to the two of you, everyone was watching you both from the hall.
Riri: Things really heated up.
Kitty: This is so much better than any romance novel.
Kamala: I am so writing this down.
Miles: Your friends are going through something serious and you all just don't care.
Danny: This is a truly beautiful moment.
Miles: You're not helping.
Gwen: Maybe I can write a song about this.
Miles: Not you to!
Laura: For once I think I agree with you. This is kinda rough to watch. It's like a freak accident. You want to look away but you just can't.
Sam:I know right?!
Miles: You all are horrible people.
Back to you and Viv. You didn't know what to do. On one hand, you had no clue what she was talking about. On the other, she was the one avoiding you. She was clearly upset but so were you. Then again, she was still your friend.
Y/N: I'm sorry. Can we talk about it? Please?
Viv: I do not know if I am able to. I can not describe this feeling.
Y/N: You can try. You know I'm willing to listen.
Viv finally looked up to you. She had tears. Great! The second time she's cried and it's because of you.
Viv: Before you appeared I went day by day just as I always had. When you joined, things changed. I wrote it off as a new change in my day to day activities.
She stood up and turned towards you.
Viv: It was not until you helped me with my project that I realized that I was incorrect. You were the change in my life but I was not for the reason I believed.
You were the change? What did that even mean?
Viv: I began to feel emotion.
Oh. Oh!
Everyone Watching: Oh snap!
Kitty: This is getting juicy.
Sam: I know~
Viv held her hands to her chest.
Viv: I knew it was possible but I only felt things like happiness or anger. After that day I felt a new one.
Miles: Maybe we should step in...
Everyone grabbed him and Gwen webbed him to the wall.
Y/N: And what was that?
Viv looked you in the eye.
Viv: Love.
----------
That conversation was stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Venom was even quiet. You ended up at the school around 30 minutes early just because you wanted to get out of the tower. Luckily Quentin was already there so you got to hang out in the Film Room. You could tell why Quentin liked to spend time here. They had a nice couch, a big screen for the projector, and even a fridge. One half of the room was the screening/recording space while the other was for editing and whatnot.
Quentin: And that's t-the computer we use f-for audio m-mixing. That c-concludes this m-mini t-tour.
Y/N: This is a nice place.
You sat down on the couch and stared at the title screen for the movie. Quentin moved to computers but stopped when he noticed your change in demeanor.
Quentin: A-are you o-ok?
You looked at him over the couch.
Y/N: I just got in a fight with a friend.
Quentin: F-Felicia?
You shook your head. You looked over to the computers and noticed something covered by a blanket. You walked over to it and pulled it off. It was a drone of some kind. It looked completely homemade.
Quentin: Oh! T-that's my p-project.
Y/N: This is pretty cool man. What is it?
Quentin moved to it and held it up before setting it onto the round table in front of the green screen. He then went to the computer and type something into it. The drone began to fly and move to you.
Drone: Hello Y/N.
Y/N: Woah.
Quentin: R-right?! I-I've been m-messing with i-it s-since summer s-started.
The drone flew back to the table and landed by itself. He picked it up and returned it under the cover.
Quentin: I w-want to e-eventully attach a p-projector to i-it.
Y/N: That would be cool.
The door opened behind you while you got a closer look at the drone.
Quentin: H-hey Nadia.
You turned around to see this Nadia person for the first time. Or so you thought.
Y/N: You have got to be shitting me.
Nadia placed her bag onto the table and walked over to you. She held out her hand with a smile.
Nadia: Hi! You must be Y/N.
You shook her hand.
Y/N: Yeah. And you must be Nadia.
Nadia: Yes sir! Nadia Pym at your service.
She looked at you closer.
Nadia: Have we met before?
You shook your head. If you had, you wouldn't have been so damn confused. She looked deeper into your eyes and her grew wide. She looked over to Quentin to make sure he wasn't looking before pulling you to the side.
Nadia: We have met before. You might not recognize me out of costume.
You raised a brow. Suddenly it hit you.
Y/N: Wasp?
Nadia nodded.
Nadia: Guy who destroyed an entire A.I.M. lab?
You nodded.
Venom: Technally that wasss me.
Venom peeked out enough for her to see him.
Nadia: Well, if I knew you were the new member to our little club, I would've invited you myself.
You smiled awkwardly before Quentin walked to you both. He held a bowl of popcorn.
Quentin: A-are you g-guys ready t-to do this?!
You both nodded and moved to the couch.
----------
The movie was definitely something. The discussion was also something. You never really got to talk about films with anyone. The discussion was so natural that you forgot you were being filmed. Venom even added his input which you repeated. Quentin really knew his stuff when it came to the technicalities of the movies and had an eye for special effects. Nadia was very charismatic and was sincere in the way she spoke about the film.
After the discussion ended, it was around 9:00-9:30 and you were tired. You still didn't want to head back to the tower once your remembered the awkward situation. You ended up texting Felicia who suggested you stay at her place which Widow allowed. You walked out of the school with Quentin and Nadia who were talking about how good the filming had gone.
Nadia: And then Y/N's new perspective as someone who hasn't seen the movie was a great touch.
Quentin: Y-yeah! He k-k-killed it.
Y/N: I wasn't as good as you two. Seriously that was impressive.
Venom: You're all nerdsss.
You subtly hit your arm. Nadia noticed and laughed to herself. You just shrugged.
Quentin: T-this is my s-stop.
You all stopped when you reached Quentin's apartment complex.
Quentin: G-good job e-everyone. T-today was a-awesome.
Y/N: Totally dude! We'll see you Monday but I'll text you up later.
Nadia: Goodnight Quen.
Quentin waves at the two of you and entered the building.
Venom: That little nerd isss growing on me.
Nadia: He tends to.
You and Nadia continued down the street on your own.
Nadia: Thanks for joining the club.
You shook your head. You were glad. A normal thing in your otherwise not normal life. Plus it was fun watching movies with people who loved them just as much as you did. You were even getting something out of it to!
Nadia: Not just for joining the club. I heard about you standing up for Quentin. That was nice of you.
Y/N: Just being a Hero.
You smiled proudly while she playfully punched your shoulder.
Venom: Ow! I'm ssstill here!
Nadia: I've known Quentin since I was a kid. Our parents worked together. He's always been an oddball so we founded the Film Club our freshman year. He's worked hard to make it what it is now.
Y/N: You guys got 106 subscribers over three years?
Nadia: We film during summer to.
Y/N: That's even worse. You guys were so interesting!
Nadia: Yeah but no one wants to watch movie reviews. Especially when it's a kid with a stutter and a girl who "doesn't know anything".
That has to be tough. Working so hard on something only for a bunch of assholes to come and ruin it.
Nadia: So I'm glad that you're taking this seriously. It means a lot.
You were glad. You decided that you were going to stick with this. To hell with everyone making fun of this club. This was now your club. You were going to do whatever you could to make this club reach its full potential.
Y/N: Hey, I know this is going to tell crazy but I feel like I should tell you something.
Nadia: What's that?
Y/N: I, I have been having these headaches and for the longest time I saw you.
Nadia: Saw me?
Y/N: Your face. Before I ever met you in the lab. I don't know why. I don't see you anymore.
Nadia nodded.
Nadia: That's weird.
Y/N: Yeah.
Venom: Hey Y/N.
Y/N: Yeah bud?
Venom: You're going to Felicia'sss right?
You nodded.
Venom: Are you going to do sssstuff.
Nadia blushed while you froze. Venom just laughed as you dropped your head.
