Vivi...

Said girl opened her eyes to see herself in an dark area. The girl looked around, trying to find some sort of light in the place she was in. Tendrils of black and dark purple hung from every corner and dripped onto her face and body. She wiped them off and blinked her eyes to navigate through the dark, inky black surrounding. She fell over, falling with a loud SPLAT!

"Eww...." She said, spitting out a glob of the stuff. "What or where am I at?"

You are within me...we are one now!

The tendrils start to conglomerate into a body, displaying itself in front of her. She watched in awe and horror at the scene in front of her. The figure in front of her looked like a female version of Venom, a symbiote of purple and black. Her nails were as sharp as knives and her teeth were fanged. Her eyes, or what she thought were eyes, were lilac in color. Her body was black with a purple spiderweb pattern across her chest. A giant purple spider emblazoned itself on the center of her chest. It even had black hair, which was wavy and tentacle-like. 

The being smiled at her with its fanged mouth, a long tongue flickered on her nose. Vivi backed far away from it, fear coming from her chest. She took a deep breath before replying.

"So are you a symbiote like Venom? Or are you something else?" 

The being gave her a frown as it furrowed its face. Tapping its chin, it sneered as it tried to find a answer. Seeing it struggle, she waved her arms. 

"Don't think about it too hard! I just wanted to know...."

It came closer to her like an animal stalking its prey. Reaching her at last, it tapped its long nail at her body before tracing up slowly. 

I needed a host, you were a good specimen. I saw how you and him interacted; another one of my kind. I never saw interaction like that before. I wanted it as well. I wanted what you had! It growled and grabbed her. You were weak...easy to take over and you couldn't fight back as well. I waited until he left and struck! Now I have a body and you can't get rid of me!

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Vivi shouted, pushing her back. "I already have trouble handling one of you symbiotes, now I have one living in my body! You didn't even get my consent!"

I don't think you'll be able to fight back. We are already bonded, and if you killed me, you kill yourself.

Vivi's face blanched out for a second as she let that information sink in. She was right; a symbiote latched onto a human for protection and control. She couldn't get rid of it even if she wanted to. 

"So what now? I hope you aren't using my body for any sick purpose."

We are paying your mate a little visit.

"That's nice....wait a minute....MATE!"

................................................................................................................................................................

Venom swung over the skyline of the city, taking in the breathtaking views and all of the people below. He laughed to himself as he adjusted the groceries that he'd "persuaded" the clerk to give him. Now he had Vivi's medicine and brought her a surprise as well.

I hope she likes them...I think it will make her feel even better. Eddie thought.

And she might even want to kiss us! We did the right thing crashing into her apartment.

"Yep, we really are something to her aren't we?" Venom said, swinging faster. 

FWISH!

"You've got to be kidding us." He grumbled, seeing the familiar figure of a certain web-head swinging after him. "What the heck is Parker even doing here?"

"Yo Venom, what's that you've got there in your arms?" The Spider had caught up to him and looked at the bags underneath his arms. "Did you do grocery shopping yourself?"

"Stay outta our way pest! We have somewhere to go that doesn't involve certain arachnids!" He swung his fist at him, only him to dodge mid-air.

"Woah! You're getting bad at this. You have the aim of a Stormtrooper!" Spidey taunted, avoiding all the fists that were aimed for him. The symbiote growled, knowing he couldn't hit the spider in the air. Seeing a nearby ledge, he landed there. Soon after, the spider landed on the opposite side.

"We want you to leave us alone! We have some place to get to urgently!" 

"Any chance you could take a rain check? I need to bring you into custody for all felonies, murders, robberies..." Spidey stopped talking as his fist collided into his stomach. "Or we could fight, that works too!"

"We grow tired of your pitiful taunting! Time to squash you forever!" Venom yelled, shooting out some webs to trap him. Spidey's eyes widen as he leap to avoid the barrage of webs. He shot his own, blinding the hulking symbiote. 

"Squash moi? Really, you couldn't think of a better insult?" He said, tossing the water tower at him. Venom grunted as he skidded towards the edge of the building. He ripped the webs off his eyes to see the Spider standing over his fallen form. 

"You know, one kick and you'll be the one squash to a pulp." Spidey leaned over to his face, he could almost see the smirk form on his mouth. "Do me a favor Brock and just give it up."

"If you think we-"

FWISH!

Spider-Man found himself getting tugged off the massive symbiote baddie and wrapped around the fallen water tower. He blinked in surprise at the webs that secured themselves around his body. He struggled to break free just as a mysterious figure landed in front of him.

"Hello Spider-Man...I believe you were teasing my fellow comrade." 

The voice was female, which surprised him greatly. Venom got up to see who this new figure was and was shocked to see another symbiote standing in front of him. Her body was slender and curvaceous, giving the emphasis on her chest region more. Her hands were on her hips and one of her legs pinned Spider-Man to the tower. The nails raked against the metal, making a loud, grating noise. 

"Who the...wait....are you another symbiote?" The Spider asked hesitantly.

The figure drew back her head and laughed, her tongue flickering in amusement. "So you do have brains, my dear Spider. Just as I expected you to of course. But I can't have you thrashing around aliens like him." Her fist went through the metal beside his head, making Peter gulp underneath his mask. "As for who we are, we. are. RAVAGE!"

She picked him up and promptly threw him over the edge of the building. Spider-Man yelped, aiming for another building to shoot his webs out at. To his dismay, a sputtering noise came from the other end.

"Seriously, of all the times to run out of web fluid! Next time, I'm following my gutt and changing it before I leave in the morning." 

He looked around, trying to find something to grab on or something soft to land on. He spied a rope that was lazily tied up to a flag pole and grabbed onto that. Swinging like a swashbuckler, he landed safely on the street. He shook his head and blinked his eyes to recover from the near death experience he'd almost faced. 

"What the heck was that all about? First, I'm fighting Venom like I usually do and then next I know it, a new symbiote is in town. And this one appears to be female? What is going on in this city?"

.............................................................................................................................................................

Venom looked at awe as the symbiote female walked over to where he was. She raised her clawed hand and held it out for him.

"We apologize you had to meet us on certain circumstances. We hope you'll allow us to work with you together to make some sweet...chaos." 

Venom pushed the clawed hand away and faced her. As happy as he was to see a new symbiote unlike him and Carnage, this Ravage thought that she could earn his trust that easily? He gave her a look of pure disgust and put on of his fingers on her chest.

"Listen newbie, we don't just partner up with every new supervillain. We work solo and our days being villain are coming to a close."

"But why? Don't you want to feel the thrill of the hunt, the powers of the alien lifestyle, and the chance to mess around with a real woman?"  Her snake-like hair encircled his chest, bringing him closer to her body. "Why go back to that weak and pathetic girl and come with me. We can make some sweet music together and together we can rock this town!"  Now her hair was fully wrapped around his muscular body, preventing him from escaping further. "Come on Venom, live up to your name and intoxicate me with your poison! I wanna feel you penetrate me!"

"NO!" He used all of his remaining strength to rip her tendrils off his body. Ravage let out a bloodcurdling scream as she felt her essence getting ripped to shreds. She fell to the ground, panting hard and her eyes turning into angry slits. 

"What are you doing? Don't you want to make a bond with another of your species?"

"You just don't get it. We already have someone we like and she's nothing like what you say about her. She's loyal, kind, smart, and spunky. She takes care of us and we take care of her. You only want to be with us because we are alike, but we couldn't be any different." He growled at her. "So stop trying to advance on us and leave! We have someone to get back to." And with that, he summoned a black thread and swung away from the crazed symbiote woman.

Ravage scurried to the edge to watch him swing away into the sunset. She grinned maniacally, her breath hitching. Her nails elongated as she pierced the mortar and brick of the building. Her long tongue licked her lips. 

"I see why you like him so much, my weakened host. He is the perfect specimen to bring back the symbiotic race! I wanna mate with him so badly!"

"No, leave him alone Ravage!" 

Ravage snarled as she heard the small voice of Vivi in her head. "What do you know? Venom is the perfect prize, the tidbit to my plans to repopulate our species. We symbiotes must thrive if we are able to live longer."

"Venom told me you guys can reproduce assexually though."

"We can, but in the presence of a female they can be quite...persuasive when it comes to mating. And the female always chooses the mate to breed with. And I want him to be mine! NOT YOURS, BUT MINE!"

Her cackles echoed the empty streets below as she swung herself back to the apartment.

..............................................................................................................................................................

Venom landed into the apartment, the groceries shifting in his arms. He sighed and de-transformed back into Eddie Brock. What a crazy day he had and he hoped that things would tone down a bit. He placed the groceries on the table and walked towards Vivi's bedroom. He smiled when he saw her sleeping peacefully underneath the covers. Silently moving towards her, he placed a soft kiss on her forehead before placing the medicine beside her. 

She looks like she's had quite a day. He thought, raking his fingers through her reddish hair. Bur her sickness is nothing compared to the day I've had. Who is this Ravage? Where did she come from? She seems like someone I need to watch out for. But what's with her strange infatuation with Venom? I need to get to the bottom of this and fast.

Vivi sighed as she felt him in her hair and snuggled closer to his hand. A tendril of dark purple coming off her pajamas also slithered towards the hand. But for now, things were peaceful. The calm before the storm had just started.

And a hurricane always followed.
