The Symbiote Saiyan Book 5: The Tienshinhan Saga

Launch's Confession

Launch smiled as she hugged Venom's muscular frame as he web swung away from the rooftop restaurant. She can feel Pistole roll around inside as her own form of a victory dance with Bulma and the rest of gang disappearing from view. The last thing she saw was her angered love rival being carried away by Wolverine, unable to continue to fight. She too was not one to be manhandled, but under the current circumstances she pretty much enjoyed it. Sometime soon, she would hope to expose Bulma as Rescue if the genius truly was the armored avenger.

"Where would you like to stop?" Venom asked, still nervous about the brawl. He knew there was something going on between Bulma and Launch, but the fact they would resort to such fighting unnerved him, especially a fight based off of such anger. Whatever was going on, it needed to stop.

"Why stop? We are actually enjoying this?" Launch said with a sweet smile as if she was in a daydream, feeling the texture of Venom's skin.

"We aren't kidding around." Venom growled, a tinge of annoyance in his voice. Launch was taken aback by this. This was Venom's/Goku's serious side, something he rarely showed. It would pop up here and there along their journey alone this past year, with the emotion only once coming in full force when he had to battle Doctor Doom for the very first time. The two of them, along with Krillin, Mai/Vendetta, Emperor Pilaf, and the rest of the Z Fighters learned the hard way that Doom could wipe them all out if he wanted to. Her fight with Bulma had resulted in something more serious than she initially thought.

"That rooftop over there." Launch said, pointing out to one with enough space. Taking his time, the black symbiote slowly swung to said roof and gently allowed the blonde to get off. There was another rift between the two that needed fixing.

"Alright, let's talk." Goku said as Venom absorbed himself into his host. Then, he jumped up and sat on one of the air ducts with the backdrop of the half moon behind him. Launch hesitated for a moment, swearing that the teen had grew a half a centimeter from when she woke up from their plane ride with Fortuneteller Baba and Ghost Usher.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Launch said, putting her arms together in front of her and rocked back and forth ever so slightly. It was apparent that Launch was trying to stall for time. This might be that make or break situation and she was definitely nervous about taking some action, a rarity from her to be sure.

"You blonde bimbo!!! You are acting just as stupid as Baldo Baggins and Dumbleperv when they are drooling over a fleshy human girl. Even more stupid than Hayden Crywalker with everything that he does. There is no avoiding the situation now." Pistole commented as her head slithered out of her skin.

"Pistole is right Launch. There has been something that has been bugging you since your fight with Nam two years ago. We could feel it, and it's the same feeling Bulma has. We thought it was a female thing, but Violet doesn't seem to have it when she is not with Bulma. When she does have it, it's not as intense. You have been sitting on these feelings for a while, so tell us before you do something drastic again. We don't want our friends to hurt each other because of the hate you two share amongst yourselves." Goku said, giving Launch a stern look.

"Alright Goku, but Venom should show himself too since he is a major component of this situation." Launch said.

"Fine. Now tell us what you and the Grandpa Stealer are up to. What are you feeling and why?" Venom asked as his head also slithered out of Goku's shoulder to be eye level with the blonde.

"Alright fine, but I can't speak for Bulma since she should tell you herself. There is no easy way of saying this but....I kinda have.....feelings for you. I have what you would call a crush on you." Launch finally admitted.
