Connection

Local villain

Cadence's POV
Next day, as we were about to leave back home, I got woken up early in the morning by hearing terrified screams of civilians. "Uuugh.. god you've gotta be kidding me!" I stood up from bed angrily. "I go to visit my parents as a sort of vacation to have peace from all the bad things happening out there hoping I can spend my free day happily, but no, everywhere I go, bad things follow." I said while walking lazily to the window to see what's happening out there. "Who the fuck is that!?" I brushed my eyes. "Probably some villain wannabe." Carnage scoffed. "Well then let's get this over with already." I stretched my neck, arms, legs and steadied myself, readying to jump out. Just as I was about to jump, Bucky came out of bathroom. "Leaving through the window again? When will you learn how to use the door?" he said jokingly. "On a more serious note, where are you going this early?" he came closer. "To quickly deal with some idiot, I'll be back soon." I jumped out, transforming in the process.

"And who might you be?" I asked psychotically. "None of your business red weirdo." The idiot pushed past me. "Yeah, I don't think so." as I said this I pinned him down. "Time for some human brain." as Carnage said that and wanted to bite his head off, the unknown man burned us with a flamethrower. We both let out a battle cry. "You are so dead." I muttered. "You son of a — " and he burned us again. "You made a mistake, a huge one, you will regret this you piece of shit!" I charged at him. Because of the burns I was now in my human form so it was time for a hand to hand battle. I started punching him, my eyes still symbiotic-white. I kicked him down and didn't stop hitting him. "You have no rights here." I said with every hit. Half transformed I couldn't control myself. "This place belongs to me! You are below me, YOU HEAR!" I roared. Fully transformed, I then stabbed him with my tentacle. I made sure the stab wasn't fatal so I could stab him to death by more not deadly stabs that are deadly when you sum them up. I then saw one of my best friends laying half dead on the floor. With tears coming out I transformed back and came running to her.

"Mona! Can you hear me? Please stay awake, I'll get help." I called out to her. "No, it's too late for me, just stop that psycho." she coughed out blood. It was obvious her wounds were fatal now her lungs filling with blood. So I saw there only one thing I could do to save her. "C, I need you to pass your offspring into my friend Mon, so I'm gonna cut myself ok?" I asked immediately. "I don't think it's a great idea, he is hard to handle and he is slightly stronger than me."  "I don't care, she needs it, and she is not the type to save the world thingies, she would use it only for healing. If needed she will let him out few times in a while." I sniffed. "You said the world doesn't need anymore destruction weapons and yet, here you are, asking me to release a monster."  "I'm sure she will handle it, Carnage please!" I begged him. "You have to be 100% sure. This is no situation to play with. Once she gets a symbiote, there's no going back, she has to stick with him for the rest of her life. You can't just borrow a symbiote to heal you and then just let him go."  "I'm sure." as I said, I cut my hand, blood instantly streaming out. After a few seconds, red liquid with green spots crawled out of my wound and found its way to Mona. "Just hold on M, you will be ok." I lightly brushed her cheek. Her body suddenly started going into spasms and she was shaking uncontrollably. Then, after a few seconds it stopped and she stopped breathing. "No no NO! Don't you dare die on me!" I screamed with tears filling my eyes. She finally opened her eyes and looked around. "Mona! Oh thank goodness." I hugged her. "So uh, I hereby present to you, my offspring Toxin." said Carnage from inside me. "I uh, have to tell you something. In order to save you, I had to give you a symbiote. You don't need to use him, just feed him and let him out sometimes. His name is Toxin and yeah, he will protect you. That about sums it up." I clapped my hands together. "Okaaay...to be honest, my scientific curiosity is now stronger than the fear I felt a few minutes ago so I think I'll manage. And thanks for informing me." she chuckled. "Oh and if you decide to experiment on him, or better said you, just make sure to not hurt him and you. Fire and loud noises are very harmful to symbiotes, keep that in mind." I pointed out. "Noted." she clicked her tongue. "Anyways, see you later, I'll make sure to visit and make sure you're doing fine." I said, walking off.

I came back to my parents apartment covered in bruises. "Oh my god, Cade! You said it was a quick mission, an easy target!" Bucky came rushing to me when he saw the injuries. "It's nothing, it just got unexpectedly harder...and more emotional by the time." I mumbled. He then put disinfection on it and I winced at the stinging. "It doesn't seem like nothing to me." he washed the wounds. He was so caring when it came to me being sick or injured you could think he worked for Red Cross. "What did I do to deserve a boyfriend like you." I cupped his face in my hands after he finished tending to my wounds. "I'm the lucky one." he kissed my hand. "I'm being serious." I laughed softly. "Me too. You made me a better person, really." he stood up and wrapped his arms around my waist. "I was unsure of myself, unstable and scared. You helped me with my nightmares. You comforted me in my bad days and made me more confident. I was struggling so bad and you pulled me out of my dark place. You are the little light in my darkness, my hope, my faith, my will to live." he said quietly, seriously but softly. That was romantic. A bit cheesy but still it was so nice. "I-I'm currently at a loss of words." I admitted. "You don't need to say anything, your presence is enough." he added. "Okay did you wrote that down first? Because how can you be so good at finding words like this that make me speechless." I chuckled. "Well if this made you speechless, I know a way how to make you say more." he whispered huskily. And he's back with his dirty mind. "Mmm, tell me more about this plan of yours." I smirked. "I better show you, just you see, you will scream my name." he said in a deep voice. "But after we get home so we don't give my dad a heart attack." I said, which we then both laughed at.
