You had fought against Spider-Man for longer than you could remember. Well, Venom had fought him, you were just the host. But when Spider-Man aka Miguel O'hara tore Venom apart he was shocked to see just a kid inside. He never thought the alien's host would be a teenage girl.
You were trapped inside a cell at Alchemax. You didn't know where they were holding Venom, but you hated being without him now. Miguel stood in front of the cell and looked down at you, he entered with a tray of food.
You looked up and spoke, 'I've heard about you. One of the great scientists of our time, never would have guessed you were the monster that is Spider-Man.'
Miguel glared at you, he placed the tray of food in front of you before standing over you again.
'You're too young to understand any of this. You really think that parasite has your best interests at heart? You think he cares for you? You are a host and that's it,' he said. You didn't even bother touching the food as you continued to glare at him.
'Venom is my family, not that you know anything about family,' you grumbled. He clenched his jaw as he stared down at you.
'Don't you dare bring up family,' he growled. He kneeled and his gaze intensified. 'You are a child being groomed by an alien. You need someone to care for you, someone who actually cares for you.'
'No, I don't. I have Venom and he is my family! He isn't using me!' You shouted. Miguel stood up again and began to pace.
'You are so stubborn, can't you see I'm trying to help you?' He stopped pacing and looked down at you again. 'You need to eat.'
'No, I'm not doing anything until I have Venom back,' you said making him groan softly.
'You stubborn girl!' he shouted as you flinched and looked up at him in fear. He sighed and rubbed his head before kneeling again. He gently held your face in his hand. 'You're just a little thing, huh? Where's your family, sweetheart?'
'Venom is all I have,' you said as he sighed and stroked your cheek gently.
'What happened to your parents?'
'They died when I was a baby. I was in foster care my whole life until Venom found me and took care of me,' you explained. He nodded, still holding your face.
'You just wanted a family, little one?' he asked. You looked at him seeing a sense of familiarity in his eyes. 'I lost my family too. I had a little girl, just like you,' he said. He rubbed his thumb over your cheek again.
'Why do you hurt people?' you asked. He sighed and took his hand away.
'You couldn't understand, sweetheart. Now eat up, please?' he asked. You looked at him, your gaze softening. He wasn't as scary as you had first thought. You grabbed the bowl and spoon and began to eat slowly. He sighed in relief and sat down on the ground as you ate. 'Good, good girl.'

The next morning you were awoken when Miguel entered your cell again. He paused and looked down at you like he was in thought.
'We could be useful to each other' he said. You looked up at him in confusion as he handed you a bowl of cereal.
'What do you mean?'
'We both want family, we both need family. You stay with me and I'll let your little friend go, but he has to promise to be nice,' he said. You glared at him.
'No, I'm not staying with you,' you said. He sat on the ground again and looked at you.
'I'm being nice, sweetheart. But I don't have to be, Y/N.'
You looked away from him before he forced you to look at him again. 'If you don't say yes I will destroy Venom, which I can do. I was going to do it before I realised his host was you. So, you'll stay with me and I'll be nice enough to let Venom be with you as long as you both listen to me and do as I say. If you don't I'll show you what I was working on, and it won't be pretty for Venom. I'm sure you don't want to see him melt from the inside out do you?' he said. His voice was calm as he looked at you.
'He can't be destroyed,' you said. He smiled and shifted closer to you.
'I developed a special kind of acid, one that would kill Venom. One that's very painful and slow. So, you are going to stay with me and you're going to wear this so I can control you and your little friend,' he said holding out a wrist cuff.
'And if I don't put it on?'
'Then I'll go get Venom and staple your eyes open to watch as I kill him,' he said. You looked at him as his grip tightened on your face. 'I'm not joking, little one.'
'Okay, okay we'll stay,' you whispered as he smiled and let go of your face.
'Eat up and then you can have Venom back and explain everything to him,' he said. You nodded and began to eat, keeping your head down.
After breakfast, Miguel returned with a small containment unit. You rushed forward and grabbed it from him, seeing Venom crawl around inside.
'Vee...' you whispered as Miguel unlocked the box and quickly step out of the cell and locked it again.
Venom crawled out and instantly merged with you again as you gasped.
'My girl, did he hurt you?' he asked as you smiled.
'No, no I'm okay, Vee.' You chuckled softly as you felt his tendrils wrap around you in a comforting hug. 'Are you okay?'
'I'm fine, my child. But I would like to rip that scientist limb from limb,' he growled as his head formed beside yours and he glared at Miguel.
'Vee, he wants us to stay with him. If we don't he'll kill you. This thing on my wrist can hurt us both,' you whispered as Venom glanced down at the cuff on your wrist. He looked back at Miguel and growled.
'You dare threaten her?'
'Not threaten, just provide care for her better than you ever could,' Miguel replied. You could feel Venom's anger building.
'Vee, it's okay. We just have to listen to what he says and we'll be okay,' you whispered. Venom turned to you, he retreated into your body. He wanted to talk to you without Miguel hearing.
'I can get us out of this, my love,' he said.
'He can kill us both, Vee. We can't risk it,' you whispered turning away from Miguel. 'I can't lose you.'
'You won't, my child. I will never let you be hurt again,' he said. You smiled softly before looking at Miguel.
'We'll listen to you, we'll stay,' you muttered as Miguel smiled and unlocked the cell door. You stepped out nervously as he held up a small remote.
'One wrong move and Venom becomes a pool of goo, understood, sweetheart?' he asked. You nodded a little, looking exhausted. He reached up and held your face, Venom popped his head out.
'Hands off!' he shouted before Miguel held up the remote again. Venom growled and retreated into your body once more. Miguel smiled and kept his hand on your face.
'Come with me, I've set up a room for you.'
You followed Miguel out of the lab and into an elevator.
'You live here at Alchemax?' you questioned.
'Yes, I live on the top floor. Much easier having my apartment in the same building where I work,' he said as you nodded and kept quiet.
The elevator opened into the penthouse as your eyes widened.
'You seem like the type to have a penthouse all to yourself,' you grumbled as Miguel raised an eyebrow.
'Excuse me?'
'I didn't say anything,' you muttered as he rolled his eyes and guided you further inside. He took you to a room, to was quite large and looked comfortable. You hated how much you wanted to curl up right now, but you were scared to be vulnerable in front of your captor.
'Go take a shower and then get some rest, alright? Can you do that for me?' he asked. The way he asked was so soft and fatherly. Maybe it was something you always yearned for. Sure you had Venom but you never had a human care for you.
After a shower, you climbed into the bed and began to cry as Venom slowly wrapped around you. He didn't need to ask what was wrong, he already knew. He knew you were overwhelmed, exhausted but also feeling guilty for the decision you made.
'My sweet girl,' he whispered as one of his tendrils gently wiped away your tears.
Miguel peeked in, watching the tender scene before him as he slowly realised that maybe Venom really did care for you.
(I'm open to making a part 2 if anyone would like!)
