Agent Venom

Bonds

"Approaching drop zone..."

A hulking figure stood from the cargo plane seat it sat on. Body stretching with black material that clung to an athletic physique. Male, roughly 6'4, the mask covering his face betraying all emotion. Had it not been for the white outline around his eyes or the spider symbol on his chest, the suit would have been devoid of all color.

His footsteps against the metal shell of the cargo plane radiated with thuds. The man's hand clenched, falling to his waist. The Matte-black SIG Sauer M17 sitting snug in it's holster. There was no reaction as the plane's cargo doors began to open, the red floodlight shining on his body. Ear crackling with another transmission.

"Just a reminder, Agent Venom, this is capture or kill. Do what's necessary."

Agent Venom nodded at the pilot's words, the bright-sunlit dessert coming into view past the clouds the plane flew over. When the red light switched to green, he didn't hesitate to jump, limbs spread wide as the air whipped around his body. The absence of a parachute did nothing to set him on edge.

Any nervousness in his body disappeared years ago. The blood stained grass, the hole punched into his lower spine, the fear as he crawled helplessly on the ground. Nothing could ever come close to that time...

In his free fall, he couldn't help imagine how this all got started.

It was like a breath of fresh air. Distant were the towering skyscrapers that littered the city, the bustle of the streets quieted. Toshinori Yagi let out a satisfied sigh, his blond locks of hair billowing in the wind as he stepped out the doors of the airport. His journey in America having ended just a few days ago.

Now that he was back in his homeland excitement coursed through his body. Digging into his pocket Toshinori pulled out his phone dialing a single number. Putting the phone to his ear he waited his smile growing wider with each ring before the line picked up. "David!" Toshinori's friend was the one and only David Shield a prodigy in all things technology and a rising star in the hero gadget market who for a time was even his sidekick.

"Toshinori! Seeing as your calling I can assume you made it back to Japan safe."

"Yes everything was perfect. I got to tell you it's good to be back home." Toshinori looked to his surroundings. Everything was so peaceful.

"I'm glad to hear that. Well since it's been awhile and you're barely getting back to Japan what are your plans going forward?"

Toshinori took a moment to think before he nodded, "I bet a lot has changed since i've been gone. I'm thinking of doing some sightseeing, I probably check out U.A, I've been hearing a lot of good things about the newer heroes rolling out this year. After that..." Toshinori looked to his side and down at his suitcase, inside the hero costume he wore in America lay waiting. "I'll establish myself in the hero rankings."

"Aiming for #1 I bet."

"Haha, you know me!" Toshinori puffed his chest in pride before hearing David on the other side laughing.

"Yeah, yeah. Well I'll be rooting for you."

Toshinori could hear David's grin on the other side of the phone and returning with his own he spoke, "Thanks David. I'll be sure to keep in touch." Ending the call soon after Toshinori looked to the road of cars in front of him before he flagged down a taxi. Placing his belongings in the car he entered the back seat. "U.A please." The driver nodded and as the car drove down the streets Toshinori stared out the window to his right catching the sight of the many buildings that composed Musutafu city. On the streets families strolled about, the early morning rays highlighting the wide array of quirks apparent throughout.
