Save Me

Chapter 24

"What the heck is a Venom?" asked Peter.

"I have a parasite." The man part of 'Venom' said.

"I'm not a parasite!" The goo part said.

"Well, can you like, uh, separate? So I can talk to the 'I have a parasite' guy?" Peter motioned a separate motion with his hands but it wasn't working out.

Slowly, the goo started melting—is that a thing? Peter didn't know—back into the skin of the man. "Great! Thanks!"

"You're Spider-Man, right?" The guy asked.

"Yeah." He nodded. "Wait... Do I know you? You look very familiar."

"I've been on TV. I'm Eddie." He hesitantly stuck his hand out, not knowing if you were supposed to shake hands with a superhero.

"You're Eddie Brock! That's right!" Peter cheered for himself. He took Eddie's offer and shook his hand. "So, what's this thing with the parasite?"

"I'm not a parasite!" The black goo said as a small head formed on Eddie's shoulder.

"Woah, sorry, buddy." Peter chuckled, raising his hands up in defense.

"I went to a lab and he stuck to me, I guess." Eddie explained.

"Wow! That's how I got my powers! Except that I was bitten by a radioactive spider, not claimed by a parasite. But, that's so cool! I bet my uncle would wanna test a bunch of things on you, knowing him. But knowing people, you probably wouldn't want that. My dad though... that's different story. And if my brother saw you... he might wanna kill you... same with my aunt. And my other uncle. My non-stepdad would probably be cool with it since he has a floating cloak."

"Um... floating cloak? Are you talking about Doctor Strange?" Eddie asked.

"Yeah!"

"He's your non-stepdad? Then who's your dad?"

"Tony Sta—! Oh, shit. You're not supposed to know that. Fuck." Peter mentally slapped himself. He could basically hear Steve's iconic "language!" yelling at him for cussing. Then Bucky would probably laugh at Steve since he didn't know how many times he cussed at the HYDRA base.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Tony Stark is your dad?! And Doctor Strange is your step-dad?!" Eddie yelled.

"Non-step-dad-step-dad." Peter corrected him.

"Baby boy! Where are you?"

"Fuck. Gotta go! I'll see you soon!" Peter swung away.

Deadpool jumped down. "Hey, have you seen an adorable guy? He wears red spandex and has a cute booty. But, don't look at him. He's mine. He goes by the names Baby Boy, Spider-Man, Spidey, Spideyboy, Spiderling, Cutie, My Baby Boy, y'know there's a lot of names he goes by."

"Uh, nope. Haven't seen him." Eddie shrugged.

"He went that way." Venom made a hand form and pointed to the left.

"Thanks little black head of goo!" Deadpool laughed and ran away.

"What the hell was that, V?"

"I'm still hongry and you haven't bought he food."

"Peter!" Stephen yelled as FRIDAY notified him that Peter came back.

It took a couple seconds, but Peter came to the living room with the rest of the guys.

"What's this?" Stephen unpaused the TV.
