NEXT DAY
"Wake up!" Mum screamed at me waking me up. "Agh mum what the hell?!" I covered my eyes. "Where have you been?!" She asked angrily. "Wh-what do you mean?" "Don't make me repeat myself young lady. WHERE. HAVE. YOU. BEEN?" Ok now I was scared of her. "O-oh you mean yesterday night? Right uh, I was on a mission with dad." "What mission?" she raised her voice. "Oh y'know, the world saving stuff...getting rid of a certain insect boy in the process..." I said almost in a whisper. "You what?!" "But the mission failed anyway, don't worry, Ironman saved him on time!" I tried calming her down. "Oh god, you two are unbelievable..." "But you still looove us remember?" The tension between us started to fade away. "More than my life." She chuckled, making her way to exit my room. "Now get dressed, school's calling." were her final words.
Later at school...
"Well my mother was scary this morning not gonna lie." I faked a smile. "Oh shush, your mother is the coolest woman I have ever seen." Haylen hitting me in the shoulder. "What? I thought I was the coolest woman." I pouted. "Oh sorry, yes, she is the coolest mum I've seen." she corrected herself. We both laughed and talked until the very end of school. You see, Haylen is my bestie since I got to this school. She is also the only one from this school that knows I have a symbiote inside me. Carnage started feeling uneasy so I had to excuse myself and left to the restroom. "What C, why are you knocking on my head like it was a door?!" "Because there's something off with your friend." "Haylen? What's with her?" "Well, a month ago she said that she has a blood cancer." "Yeaaa, and?" "At that time I really smelled the difference in her blood, I really smelled the slowly dying person. But now I smell just a healthy person." "What?" "The cancer is gone." "But how is that possible? She wasn't on chemotherapy for that long even." "So there is only one explanation to this, I know you know what I mean and I bet that you don't like the sound of that." "You are right, I'm not very happy with the possibility that Hay has a symbiote." "Not possibility, it's a fact, I know she has one, a cancer this bad can't just magically disappear." "But why didn't she tell me." "Maybe she doesn't know, or she's scared, or she has some hidden motives." "Okay let's not go that far." "So...your friend is carrying my sister." "Eww stop! Have you got any idea how wrong that sounded?" "But it's true or na?" "Well yeah technically, but not in that—... just stop talking."
After I got home I just closed myself in my room and took a nap. I was woken up by Carnage trying to tell me something. "Wake up freak!" "Leave me alone idiot, I'm trying to rest." "But I just need to tell you something." "I'm listening for 2 minutes, then I'm sleeping again." "I found out who has your friend." "Well?" "My sister Agony." "Mhm continue, tell me more." "Well she is pretty cool, she is also super strong and powerful but she is kind of a troublemaker." "Evaluate." "She is also a great manipulator, she has the control of the human she's connected to. She likes power and control, she is able to corrupt someone's mind into wanting and doing what she wants. That means, only strong-minded person can stand her without being manipulated by her, so if Agony got ahold of your friend's mind...it's not going to end well."
Later on, I decided to take an evening walk. As I was passing the streets, I heard a loud crash. I peeked to see what it was, and to my surprise, it was a symbiote. But I didn't know this one, I've never seen her. She was mainly purple and black and she head long "hair" if I can even call it that, she looked dangerous.
She stepped forward to me and transformed into her normal/human form. "So it's you? You are Agony?!" I yelled as I realized who I was talking to, my dear friend Haylen. She just laughed and stepped closer. "Oh it was just a lab fail, a coincidence you could say, it's a funny story actually. So Agony escaped from a secret lab and she found her way to me. We merged, she healed my cancer and I gave her...a living place I guess?" I just looked down at what she said. "Now come on, don't look so sad, i was lucky she chose me, without her I would've died plus now we both are the same, isn't that cool? We can conquer the world together, what do you say?" Those words stuck in my mind. So it's true, Agony has her, and she also accomplished to control her mind. Then I felt Carnage wanting to transform, he was thrilled by Agony's offer. Suddenly my eyes started burning and my teeth hurting and without thinking, without even my conscience i said: "Bring it on." We both then transformed into our symbiotes and ran somewhere else.
Meanwhile at their house...
Esther's POVMania was restless. She felt there was something wrong. We just couldn't work it out. When Danny came back home from his friend's house, my eyes shot open. "Do you sense it?" Asked Mania worried. "I-I do.." I sighed. "You don't think it's—" "I don't know, be we are about to find out." I quickly walked over to my son. "Hey sweet, can I ask you something, and please answer me honestly." "Oh-okay mum, yea whatever." he said bluntly. "Have you felt exhausted, uneasy, sick even?" "Well uhm, yea kinda, but I guess it's just the video games." "Okay honey, come with me." I urged him. "But where?" he asked frightened. "To hospital, for a checkout." "But why mum, it's probably nothing." "Yes probably, but better be safe than sorry."
When we arrived at the hospital, doctors started running multiple tests, drew blood and checked him. We were the until midnight when doctors came with results.
"I'm very sorry mrs Brock, but your suspicions were confirmed, your son indeed has a tumor on his brain. Unfortunately it is on a inaccessible place, so we won't be able to operate it without killing your son in the process." These words hit me like a tons of bricks. It hurt so much to hear. I haven't cried for almost 8 years but now I couldn't just take the pain anymore. My world came crashing down when I heard my baby was dying.
As soon as we arrived at home I looked for Eddie. I delivered him these horrible news and we both started thinking of solutions how to save him. "Since there are not many possibilities, I think it's for the best." said Eddie. "But what if he can't handle it, what if it kills him?" I started worrying. "He's a strong boy, he will make it, he has it in genes." he placed a hand on my shoulder. "I guess it's our only option, and a last hope." I forced a small smile.
"Okay V, now it's your turn, give us one of your offsprings." said Eddie as if it was a normal thing on a daily basis. "But please, choose someone...not so hyperactive, strong willed, manipulative. More like your little angel." I said, making sure to give a proper symbiote to our son. Venom cut himself on a arm and a yellow liquid crawled out of it. "This is Phage, one of my best behaving kids." said Venom as the yellow thing continued to crawl towards Danny.
The yellow symbiote fully attached to him, making Danny lose consciousness and then...
