Eddie made his way down the street; until this moment he hadn't realised how far out of the way (Y/n) would go to just get the things that he and Venom liked. A smile pulling at his lips, as he thought about her. It just like (Y/n) to do such a thing for them. To not complain, and take their unusual situation, in her stride. The only time that she had really been angry at him during their time together........well, it was angry at Venom really, was after she had witnessed the tail of the raccoon disappear between the symbiote's lips. But other than that........he was sure that he had never been happier.

"If you can go no quicker, I will take over............" Venom suddenly growled. Not liking the fact that they had not come across their girl yet. The symbiote already promising himself that if something had happened to their beautiful mate, someone would pay.

"I'm going as quick as I can...........Stop worrying. She's probably still at the store. Watch, we will get there, and she and Misses Rodriguez will think I've lost my mind. Which I probably have. I am sure that kind of thing can happen when you get a parasite............" Eddie replied. The usual argument about Venom being a symbiote and not a parasite ensuing, until the air was filled with the sound of a scream.

"That was the pretty one............" Venom growled again. The symbiote taking over Eddie's body and bounding down the street with all speed; more than ready to eat anything, or anyone that may have caused their female to make such a sound.

                                                       >>----------------------------------<<

The short, slender man pushed (Y/n) up against the wall behind her. Despite his somewhat fragile looking stature, the man was still proving to be quite strong. Strong enough that the grip on the back of her neck was beginning to grow painful, and she was struggling to move. (Y/n) turning her head, as he pushed himself up against her. The aroma of alcohol on his breath, quite overwhelming.

"Hold her............." The thug ordered. Two of his compatriots springing into action, and taking her arms; holding them back, as the man finally moved his hand from the back of her neck. That hand now pulling down the zipper on his pants, as the other, made its way up her thigh. The full horror of her situation smacking (Y/n) squarely in the face. Anger at herself growing, for having spoken with Misses Rodriguez, for so long. Anger for forgetting to charge her cell phone. (Y/n) just hoping that Eddie, that Venom would have noticed how long she had been and would have come looking for her. That her scream would have alerted them to her predicament.

"Me and you, beautiful, we gonna have some fun. And then.......well, then the others are gonna have some fun too...........ain't that right boys............" The man explained with a menacing laugh. The other man whooping in agreement. (Y/n) closing her eyes, as he began to kiss her on the neck.

Suddenly, there was a blood curdling scream; but this time it was not her. (Y/n)'s eyes flying open, as she felt the man being pulled away from her. Tears making their way down her cheeks, as she looked up, and saw a large, black figure that she knew so well, in front of her, holding the man that had been attacking her, in the air, upside down by one of his ankles. The rest of the gang, either able to scurry away like the rats that they were, or being taken down by the long tentacles, that had shot out of the symbiote's back. (Y/n) sure that she had never been more glad that Eddie and Venom were her boys.

"Ven................."

"Hi honey..............." Eddie interrupted, as half of his face appeared from under Venom's.

"Don't worry.......we got this.............." He added, before he disappeared again. The large symbiote finishing off the last straggler, before he turned to her.

"Did they hurt you.............?" Venom hissed. His anger growing, as more tears began to make their way down her cheeks. (Y/n) not sure whether to shake or nod her head. Sure though, that things would have been much worse, if Eddie and Venom hadn't appeared when they had.

"What the hell are you, man................?" The dangling thug finally managed to ask. Venom bringing him up so that he could look him straight in the face.

"We are Venom. And the female is our mate. You tried to hurt her.......now we will hurt you.............."

"I didn't know.........I wasn't gonna do anythin, honest...........Lady, tell him I didn't..............." The man spluttered out, before letting out another yell, as (Y/n) turned away from him; knowing all to well what was about to come.

"Eyes, lungs, pancreas. So many snacks, so little time..........." Venom mussed. Poking at the stomach of the man dangling from his hand, before deciding on his course of action. The man no longer sporting a head. (Y/n) keeping her eyes firmly closed and sinking to the floor, as she heard the symbiote do what he had to do, in the way that only Venom could do it.

"Honey..........." A soft voice finally came, as the air around her turned quiet. (Y/n) slowly opening her eyes to see Eddie's face. His warm hand on her cheek.

"I'm sorry............." Eddie continued. His words silenced, as (Y/n) threw herself into his arms; doing her best to tell he and Venom what had happened, through her tears. Eddie growing more guilty, and Venom becoming angrier by the moment. The symbiote wishing that he could have eaten all the bad guys, over again. That he had made each of them apologise to their mate, before he had bitten off their heads.

"Let's get you away from here............" Eddie replied, as he reluctantly let (Y/n) go; allowing Venom to become whole again. The great, black symbiote taking (Y/n) into his arms and holding her close; before bounding between the buildings, back to the apartment that they shared.
