Who?: Eddie Brock/Venom
Where? Outside of the Inn
Open To? Wanda / / OTA
Warnings: Emotional Abuse. Eddie Brock had a really shitty childhood.



Open to Wanda

He's feeling good. He and Venom are far more connected now and he feels surprisingly good. Hell he finds himself even whistling and-

Mary Poppins? Really?]

Shut up. It's a good movie.

[...If you say so...

Eddie spots Wanda and Arado - and his grin widens. Good. Go play with the dog. It will be more exercise. He laughs aloud before waving to Wanda, "...Hey! Hey Arado! How're you guys?"

His eyes hit hers, light, airy, happy and it's engaging as hell.]


Post Clip

[Dad's mad at you. He's really mad at you. He found where you were keeping Susie Gibbons doll. He found the transformers you took from Hector and Josue down the street. What is wrong with you you freak...!

Put that away! You don't need it!

Eddie is hiding in the corner. His shoulders slumped, arms wrapped tight around his knees. He mumbles to himself.]

Shut up. Just...Just shut up! Just for a second!

[Dad's so mad at you. Why are you such a Freak?

Are you stealing from those kids? Are you fucking stealing from those kids?! You little shithead, no son of mine is going to be a thief!]

Dad no. Dad no.

[...Eddie. Stop. This man. Carl Brock was wrong This man who spawned you was the freak. What kind of being would inflict this on their offspring? Even at our cruelest the Klyntar would NEVER harm it's spawn physically. Not like this.

Eddie tucks himself in tighter and breathes. In and out. In and out....

I will erase these memor-]

No!

[It's shouted.]

Don't you touch that I need it!

He curls back up again and peers out over his knees.]

[ Desmond leans over to take a look at what Eddie's offering up, his eyebrows shooting right up. Yikes. As if bad memories weren't already the worse. There's sympathy - not pity - in the way he glances a the man after sitting back.]

Fuck that guy. Far as I can see he's the one who should be embarrassed. [ He said succinctly. In a lot of ways he'd take William's cold calculated violence, because it had a purpose. Eddie's dad just generally seemed like a prick.]

I don't know, man, they can bring us here from other worlds and give us super powers. I'm not surprised at anything they can do at this point.

[He realllllly hoped it wouldn't happen to him, but with his luck, yeah, it would.]

[imareporter]

I had superpowers back in my reality.

[No point in beating around the bush about it. Venom oozes inside of him. We. We had superpowers.]

Still trying to get a handle on these but. Who knows.

[moderndayassassin]

I sort of did. Not like you though. I wouldn't call them nearly as impressive.

[ Desmond taps his wrist band where the clear teal color is, same as Eddie's.] Frank says we have a danger sense. It hasn't really gone off for me yet, but I also haven't really left my house much and you're maybe the fifth person I've talked to outside of my relatives since I got here.

[imareporter]

[Oh hey. It's almost like his eyes come into focus. He relaxes several hairs and shrugs.]

You've got relatives? My ...my - My friend's here. Thank God.

[moderndayassassin]

Yeah. Sort of. [ Desmond shrugs.] Altaïr and Connor are my distant relatives. I don't know if you've met them, Connor is a giant block of muscle so it's hard to miss when you meet him, and Altaïr's been apparently adopting everyone in sight. Which isn't at all a surprise.

[ Desmond and Altaïr in particular looked related, but it was normally only noticeable when they were standing next to each other. ] That's good a friend is here with you. Did they know about the alien thing before?

[imareporter]

I'm familiar with being a giant block of muscle. [He shrugs.] And bull. Guy with the horns? Kind of hot?

[At the mention of Friends Eddie stares down at his shoes.] We were more then friends. I mean if I'm being honest. She's amazing. You ever realize a person...is way too good for you and your life is just beyond fucked up. Fucked up so bad you curl up in a corner and dream about ripping your dad's throat out?

[moderndayassassin]

[Desmond laughs at that first part.] True. I know Bull, we were talking about trying to figure out how to make beer. [He tilts his head.] I'm not sure I'd go with hot. He's a cool guy but I feel like there's such a thing as too big.

[He listens to Eddie talk, understanding and sympathy flickering on his face.] Yeah, that's basically my life in a nutshell too. But I mean, not without the alien, so you still win the fucked uppery. [He runs his fingers over the ground in front of him, chipping at it.] I'm dead though, that has to give me some fucked up points. I don't know, man, sometimes women tolerate us a lot more than they should. So she could come around.
