"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!" Y/N yelled as he shot awake from the sofa, his face soaking wet.

"Morning Y/N" Said a grinning Steve with a empty water bottle in his hand decked out in some a grey Under Armour shirt and blue sweatpants, he clapped his hands together in a 'chop chop' manner ",Now come on get up" he encouraged.

Y/N groaned holding a sulky expression before throwing his forearm over his face "What time is it?" He groggily asked.

Steve glanced at the analogue clock on the wall "6:43, so get up we're late"

"Late for what exactly" Y/N asked still maintaining the same position as before.

"You're joining me on a run" Steve said far too cheerfully for Y/N's liking.

"Fuck that, I'm tired" He responded nestling his head into the pillow in the sofa turning his back to Captain America.

"Well you should have thought about that before you decided to watch all seven Saw films"

Y/N chuckled "It was for research purposes and sooooo worth it."

"Why?"

"So we can find out more creative ways to kill people" Venom flatly responded.

Steve let out a frustrated sigh "Alright, alright" He put his hands up, walking away from the sofa "I guess you're scared that you're not as quick as you used to be old man." Steve let his lips curve into a very miniscule smirk.

Y/N rose like The Undertaker from the sofa "Did you just make on old joke on me?" Y/N asked with surprise in his tone.

Steve shrugged his shoulders "Maybe" he innocently said.

"Oh it is on like Donkey Kong now boy" Venom determinedly said as the pair hopped over the back of the sofa and stomped off to get ready.

Steve meanwhile let out an inaudible chuckle "Knew that would do it"

Steve waited about five minutes for his friend to come out, Y/N was dressed in a white Adidas shirt and black sweatpants along with Nike trainers "Ready to go?" Steve asked

"I'm ready to run you into the dirt" Y/N confidently replied as he went past Steve and out the front door. Steve followed suit and locked the door behind him before Y/N stopped him by slapping him on the chest "Dude have you seen the hot blonde nurse that lives next door to us."

"I know of her - Kate I think her name is, she seems nice" He replies walking past her apartment and down the stairs.

"Yeah she does, cute, seems innocent, definitely has her own nurse's uniform. She is in several sections of the Venn Sexy Diagram." He says following Steve "There's just one problem."

Steve huffs "And what's that?"

"I reckon she's got a bit of a thing for you" Y/N teases as he rests his chin on Steve's right shoulder shaking him slightly as they head out of their apartment complex before heading towards the Washington Monument.

Steve goes a light shade of pink and starts stuttering "I-I-I don't t-think so" he quickly tries to change the subject to avoid any further embarrassment "What about you and Natasha" he questions stumbling over his words.

"I've pretty much come to the conclusion that your sexy redheaded co-worker is basically un-nailable." Y/N had a disappointed expression and tone.

"Well I wouldn't say that, I just don't think she likes you in that way.............. or in many other ways" Steve admitted to his roommate.

The pair walked and chatted the whole way until they got to where they needed to be. It was still fairly dark outside but there was a still a decent amount of light in the sky. Y/N and Steve were stood by the corner of the Washington Monument Reflecting Corner.

Steve was limbering up whilst Y/N was on his phone checking Twitter until Steve said "Ready Y/N?"

Y/N put his finger up to whilst typing on his phone screen with his other hand "Wait a minute popsicle, let me send this tweet. #Venompool>CaptainAmerica." Y/N sent the tweet and pocketed his phone "Alright Mr War Hero, let's go."

Y/N and Steve stood next to each other about five feet away from each other as not to obstruct each other. Steve looked to Y/N "First one to do five laps of the area" Steve propositioned, the whole area was about four miles around.

"I don't know why you're bothering son, I'm going to fucking smoke you" Y/N cockily said with a devilish grin.

"We'll see about that" The pair got into their starting positions, Steve then began the countdown "Alright 3........... 2 ...............1.............. GO!"

Y/N and Steve started sprinting away with Y/N taking the lead a couple of steps ahead of Rogers but it was a very tight and close affair. The two enhanced individuals were running against each other the whole way and within forty minutes, Y/N had finished just ahead of Steve with the pair barely our of breath from their friendly competition.

Venom came out of Y/N's body slightly just enough so that no one would notice "AND THE CROWD GOES WILD AS VENOMPOOL TAKES THE GOLD! You have to feel for Captain America but he couldn't quite get over the line quick enough." Venom commentated "Let's see if we can get a few words from our winner, Y/N how do you feel after your win?"

Y/N did some fake sniffles and some waves up to the sky pretending there was a crowd there "Oh it feels amazing. This Is what I've been dreaming of since I was a foetus in my mother's womb, winning a race against Captain America." He replied with his voice cracking and fake tears.

Steve looked over to Y/N with a small smile, he had come to expect this odd behaviour in the two years that they'd been living together.

"That's an amazing story, let's get a few words from the complete loser Uhhh I mean Runner Up, Mr Steve Rogers ladies and gentlemen" Y/N did a few claps, cheers and whistles as he made his way over to Steve "Mr Rogers, how are you taking the tough loss?"

Steve shook his head slightly before deciding to play along "Difficult but he's older than me so more experience in these situations........ But it's only one race, who knows what may happen in the future."

"Oooooohh fighting talk........... I LIKE IT!!!!" The Symbiote before going back into Y/N's body. .

Steve and Y/N shook hands "Loser buys breakfast?" Y/N questioned Steve

"Don't push it L/N"

"I always do" Y/N let out a childish giggle.

The pair began walking back to their apartment before Y/N noticed an African American man also taking his morning run and decided to stop Rogers.

"What?" Steve questioned as Y/N turned the Captain to the direction he was looking.

Y/N pointed to the man on his run "See that guy" Steve nodded "Think of this as another part of our modernisation teaching" Y/N said with a not so innocent look on his face.

Steve's face dropped "Oh dear, what are you planning?"

"I'm thinking I run on his right, you run on his left. Just to be annoying" Y/N suggested to the uncomfortable looking Steve who had stayed silent "Come on Sub-Zero! If you don't I'm blasting The Star Spangled Man with A Plan in our apartment not giving a shit how many neighbors it annoys especially......... Kate." Y/N playfully threatened and teased.

Now that made Steve's face drop even further "You dare!" Steve quietly threatened the smirking Y/N who ran off to carry out his plan "BETTER CATCH UP THEN!" He yelled out to Steve.

Steve audibly groaned in frustration thankfully for him there was no one around "This is a terrible idea" He then ran after Y/N.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"On your right" Y/N said as he sprinted past the African American man for the first time.

About thirty seconds later, he was lapped by Steve saying "On your left" this guy was taking the same route that Y/N and Steve had their race on but paid the two men no attention at this point.

Y/N saw the man for a second time and went by him "On your right" He casually said holding a smile as he did it.

"On my right" The man said in a mocking tone. Yet again about thirty seconds later he was passed again by Steve who said in the same basic tone "On your left"

"Uh-huh, on my left. I got it" The man said panting slightly clearly getting a little bit frustrated at this point.

It wasn't fifteen minutes later just before the Washington Monument Reflecting Pool that he heard someone sprinting behind him again and groaned "On your right!" Y/N teased before sprinting off again.

Steve was in close pursuit of Y/N and clearly the man heard him coming as well "Don't say it, Don't say it!" He pleaded

However being the polite man that Steve was, it was only the kind thing to do "On your left"

"OH COME ON!!!" The man yelled as he tried to pick up his pace further with his steps growing rapidly against the concrete floor but in all honesty, he was never going to pick up the pace with Y/N or Steve.

Steve caught up with Y/N who had slowed down just before the Reflection Pool. Y/N held out a fist bump to Steve who despite being skeptical about the idea, did enjoy the little friendly teasing and returned the gesture.

The pair walked over to see the man sitting down under the tree panting in exhaustion holding his chest "Need a medic?" Steve questioned with Y/N behind him with a big ol' smile on his face.

"I need a new set of lungs" The man let out a pained chuckle "You two ran like thirteen miles in like thirty minutes."

"Bet be wished he had a super duper healing factor." Venom teased causing Y/N to let out chuckle.

"I got a late start" Steve replied "Because of him" he pointed to Y/N who was on Twitter again.

"Hey fuck you, I told you it was for RESEARCH PURPOSES!" Y/N replied a little frustrated.

The man looked at Steve in disbelief and slight annoyance "You guys should both take another lap as punishment" he joked before closing his eyes for a couple of seconds before reopening them "Did you take it, I assume you just took it."

"Fuck man, we're fast but we're not The Flash."

Steve and the man looked at Y/N in confusion and Y/N just replied "DC" the pair looked even more confused as to why Y/N was talking about the city.

Y/N then offered his hand to the man who accepted it "I'm Y/N L/N, now please tell me that your name is Clarence, you live at home with both parents and your parents have a real good marriage." He asked as he pulled the man to his feet.

The man looked baffled before hesitantly answering "Uhhhhhh no, the names Sam Wilson. I live on my own but my parents do have a good marriage." Sam said shaking Y/N's hand.

Y/N looked a little deflated "Well you're one for three. So I'll take some consolation in that." He released Sam's hand and too a couple of steps back.

Steve shook Sam's hand "Please excuse my strange friend, you get used to his weird outbursts. I'm Steve Rogers by the way."

"Yeah I kind of figured, must be weird you coming out of the ice" Sam asked before the pair broke out of the handshake.

"It was, still is in many ways thankfully I've got him to help him through it" Steve gestured who did a goofy wave back to Sam.

"Is he always this weird?" Sam whispered to Steve who responded with a one word answer.

"Yes"

Whilst Steve was talking to Sam, Y/N sat against a tree on his phone.

"I'm hungry" Venom complained sounding as if he was a four year old toddler.

"What do you wanna get?"

"Maccies, god I love their breakfast Mcmuffins" Venom practically salivated at the thought of them as did Y/N.

"Well we're gonna have to wait for Steve to finish talking to his new boyfriend because I left my wallet and my keys back in the apartment."

Venom groaned "Oh well done, you fucking idiot. Now thanks to you I'm going to starve to death."

"Oh stop being such a fucking baby, just eat some of my organs if you're that hungry." Y/N suggested sounding fairly annoyed.

"YAY!" The symbiote cheered as he started eating some of Y/N's spleen not that it bothered the mercenary that much.

Y/N was in deep thought when Steve tapped him on the shoulder breaking Y/N out of his trance and showed Y/N his phone with a text from Natasha that read

Mission alert. Extraction imminent. Meet at the curb. :)

"Great well, I'm gonna need your keys because I left mine in the apartment." Y/N said to Steve who looked less than impressed.

"Again!?" Steve whisper yelled

"What? It's not like you'll need them" Y/N said to Steve who sighed and pulled his keys out of his trouser pocket.

"This is the last time I give you my keys." Steve warned Y/N who held his hands up defensively before carefully grabbing his keys from Steve whilst Sam chuckled behind "Thanks Roomie, you're the best"

A few seconds later, there was a loud roar of a car engine pulling up. the window rolled down to reveal Natasha with her hair in a different hairstyle than when Y/N last saw her, it was now completely straightened out but still it's vibrant red colour "Hey Gentleman and Y/N, any of you know where the Smithsonian is? I'm here to pick up a fossil."

Y/N laughed whilst Steve deadpanned "That's hilarious." as he walked up to the car and entered it.

Y/N whistled in approval "Stingray Corvette, a very nice car indeed"

"Not bad is it?" Natasha smirked at Y/N.

Sam leaned over and said to Natasha "Hey, how you doing?"

"Who is this guy, Joey Tribbiani?" Venom stated making Y/N smile.

"Hey" Natasha said back to Sam.

"Can't run everywhere" Steve joked to Sam.

"No, you can't." He slowly said back as he waved to the two and just as Natasha was about to pull out onto the road she was stopped by Y/N yelling

"WAIT!!!" He quickly turned to Sam and held out a fist to him "Good to meet you Papa Doc" Sam chuckled and returned the fist bump.

"You too L/N"

Y/N then ran up to Natasha's car and leaned on the rolled down passenger window them looked to Natasha "First off loving this new hairstyle" Y/N then did a sassy finger snap "Second, can I get a lift back to the apartment?"

"God you're lazy" Venom said however Y/N just ignored it.

Natasha gave Y/N a small glare "Y/N we've got a mission to go to." She countered "Can't you just walk back?"

"I've ran like over thirty miles this morning" Y/N then looked at Steve "You can vouch for me"

Steve gave Natasha a sympathetic look on behalf of his friend "I did kind of make him run with me this morning."

Natasha rolled her eyes and finally gave in "Fine, get in" She reluctantly said gesturing for the mercenary to get in.

"You're a fucking Star, red" Y/N then proceeded to climb in through the passenger window and onto Steve and Natasha's laps causing them both immense discomfort.

"Y/N what the fuck are you doing?" Natasha groaned in discomfort as Y/N shifted himself into the backseat with his legs sort of everywhere in the front seat.

"You just said I could come in" Y/N said at a slightly higher than normal pitch.

"In through the door, you know like a normal person. Not through the fucking window." Natasha yelled at Y/N who was getting himself comfortable in the back.

"Oooh leather seat covers, Natasha Romanoff has style" Y/N rubbed himself on the seats absorbing the comfort of them.

"You never said how I could come in plus it meant neither of you" he gestured an arm each to Natasha and Steve "had to get up out of your seats and what thanks do I get - Fucking None" Y/N fired back as he leaned back in the chair.

Natasha looked like she was going to continue the argument but Steve put an arm on her shoulder "Just drive, it's pointless arguing with him" he calmly advised his work colleague.

Natasha looked back at Y/N who had a massive smile on his face that was supposed to look innocent but as a spy she knew better "Fine"

She drove off and thought that the ten minute drive to L/N and Rogers apartment was going to be a long one. About a minute after they were driving, Natasha's phone went off "Steve, could you get that?"

Steve complied and answered the phone putting it onto speaker "Hello?" Natasha asked.

"Agent Romanoff, I presume you've picked up Rogers." It was Nick's voice on the other side.

"Yes, sir" She professionally replied.

Y/N then popped up and stuck his head in between Natasha and Steve's seats "She also picked ME up, though she wasn't very happy about."

"L/N, you're there too. Wellllllll this is couldn't have worked out better."

"Oh fuck" Venom said not liking the choice of Nick's words.

"Whyyyyyyyy?" Y/N questioned his friend.

"I want you to go on the mission with Romanoff and Rogers" Nick informed much to Steve's surprise and Natasha's horror.

"No, no, no absolutely not!" Y/N immediately tried to refuse "I do not work for you guys so you can't make me go. Hahaha sucka" Y/N victoriously stated.

"He's right, he can't come with us. This is official S.H.I.E.L.D business with all due respect Director." Natasha also tried to prevent this from happening.

"L/N, you still owe me a favour from when you stole the Quinjet" Nick revealed and that immediately made Y/N's face go from one of victory to one of instant defeat.

"I brought it back didn't I?" Y/N questioned still hoping to get out of this.

"Yeah, several days later after going and I quote 'Around the World in 80 Women'" Nick said which made Steve and Natasha look at Y/N in disgust.

"Ha, wordplay" Y/N grinned

"You're disgusting"

"I know" Y/N said still holding a cocky grin "But what else are you supposed to do when you save the world?"

"Uhhh not have sex with a bunch of women in a stolen S.H.I.E.L.D aircraft."

Y/N realised Nick wasn't gonna budge on this one "Fine I'll do it but only because I owe you a favour." Natasha eyes rolled into the back of her head whilst Steve was pleased to have the extra support.

The three heard Nick audibly clap his hands sounding pleased with himself "Excellent, get the mission done." The line then went dead just as Natasha pulled up underneath the window of Y/N and Steve's apartment.

Steve got out of the car to let Y/N out and the flippant Mercenary ran into the apartment complex to go and get his stuff. Steve got back into the car and chatted to Natasha who had a scowl on her face.

"You seem happy" Steve teased his co-worker.

Natasha glared daggers at Steve "Funny, I see living with L/N has made you a bit more annoying."

"Hey, you might not like it but Y/N does come through when he needs to. Remember back on the Helicarrier, you thought he was a liability." Steve defended his friend and forced Natasha to reminisce "He proved you wrong there didn't he?"

Natasha thought back to when Loki came to Earth two years ago and she even admitted to Y/N that she was wrong about him even if it pained her to say it "Yes, I suppose he did."

As soon as Natasha said that Y/N landed directly in front of Natasha's car much to the surprise of the two inside of it. Y/N got to his feet dressed in his full Venompool suit with his pistols in his thigh holsters and Katanas on his back. He had a broken arm but he instantly snapped it back into place.

"God it's gross when does that" Steve winced at the sight of it before he got out and let Y/N back in the car.

"Let's roll out" Y/N said "and let's head to McDonald's because I am starving" Natasha started the car up and drove back into the road.

"Y/N, can't you just wait until we get there?" Steve asked in a sort of manner like a dad talking to his child.

Venom then popped out of Y/N's shoulder and informed Natasha and Steve "I've been eating his organs for a short while and I'm still hungry."

The two in the front thought that it was gross so Natasha yet again reluctantly gave into Y/N and pulled into the nearest McDonald's heading for the drive-thru "WOAH, WOAH, WOAH. Don't go into the drive-thru." Y/N ordered making Natasha park instead.

"Why not, you're just getting breakfast aren't you?" Steve queried with a confused look. 

"Yeah but I'm not gonna get the superhero discount, why do you think I'm dressed in my full gear." Y/N in an 'obviously' manner.

Natasha turned back to look at the man with very questionable decision making abilities "You're a mercenary, you probably have loads of money. We're wasting time here"

"Just because I have loads of money, doesn't mean I want to waste it." Steve then got out of the car and Y/N headed into the fast food restaurant despite being heavily armed.

The two sat in a comfortable silence for about ten minutes until Natasha asked "What's taking him so?" looking at the restaurant entrance.

Steve also looked in the same direction "I have no idea."

However their question was answered when Y/N came out with more than half a dozen bags of food whilst another employee carried drinks behind him.

Y/N got to the car and requested for Natasha to roll down the window, before passing her the food "Just lob it in the back" he said passing her the bags of food which she placed in the backseat.

Y/N took the drinks off of the employee passing them to Natasha who said to him "I thought you were awesome in New York. Would you sign my hat?" He requested taking his hat off not even clicking that two other Avengers were in the ace behind Y/N.

Y/N chuckled and signed the hat "Anything for a fan" giving the hat back to the employee who was giddy at having met Venompool before going back to his day job.

Steve ONCE AGAIN got out of the car to let Y/N back in before he asked "Is all this food really necessary?"

Venom answered for Y/N "He's basically eating for two, so Fuck yeah all this food is necessary."

"Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks bud" Y/N said taking off his mask.

"No problem, now tuck in I'm starving" Venom demanded going back into Y/N.

Y/N was about to start eating when he said "Oh yeah Steve I got you a Big Mac meal with a chocolate milkshake." Y/N passed his roommate the food.

"Thanks Y/N, I appreciate it." He said taking the bagged up food from Y/N's hands.

"And Natasha, I didn't know what you liked so I got you a Sweet Chilli Chicken wrap meal and a cup of coke." Y/N handed her the bag of food and her drink.

Natasha was surprised at the gesture to say the least but she happily took it anyways "Uhhh thanks Y/N, actually you've got my favourite."

"What can I say, I have a knack for this things" He admitted before stuffing his face. Natasha saw a small smirk from Steve after Y/N said this but she through a glare back at the Captain

"What did you get Y/N?" Steve asked after he swallowed a bit of his Big Mac.

"I got fifty McMuffins and a couple of milkshakes." Y/N replied with his mouth full causing him to muffle his words.

"You're such a pig" Natasha said after taking a sip of her coffee.

"Well I'm a sexy pig besides my Super Duper Healing Factor always means I'm in peak physical so I don't have to waste my time in the gym burning off calories." Y/N gloated with his mouth still full of food.

"Well aren't you lucky" Natasha she said with a little hint of jealousy in her voice.

The three ate their and despite having the most food, Y/N actually finished his first much to the surprise of the two S.H.I.E.L.D agents in the front, it was hard to question Venompool's love for food.

Once they were all done, Y/N clapped his hands together and yelled "VAMANOS, let's go to S.H.I.E.L.D!!!?" Before playing a song off of his phone.

Natasha and Steve shook their heads but the trio finally headed off to S.H.I.E.L.D after many delays.
