Ch. 9: Family and Guest Breakfast

Boscha has fully moving into the "Spider Apartments" as Luz liked to call them, saving her money and now focusing on fully finding venom!

No matter how big the city was, she was going to find him.

Boscha Even kept listening to a stolen police scanner she bought from Eda, waiting for Venom to slip up.

'I'm going to make sure you die for what you did to Cat.' Boscha thought.

It was almost like she was becoming obsessed, at least if it wasn't for Luz, Amity, Camila, and Mama Eda checking in on her.

She never asked them to but they still checked in on her.

'This is concerning.' Camila thought as she brought Eda over to introduce her to Boscha.

Only for them both to be meet with a "somewhat" messy apartment and a large conspiracy board of potential Venom clues and sightings.

"Has this girl even slept since she moved in?" Eda asked.

"I don't know and that's what concerns me." Camila said as she and Eda walked up to her. "Um, good morning, Boscha."

Boscha didn't acknowledge them, just looking over her amassed photos and strings connecting them.

"Let me take a crack at it." Eda said, reaching into her hair and pulling out an air horn. "Honey."

"I know." Camila said before covering her ears.

Eda blasted it in Boscha's ears... not even getting a flinch from the meister.

"...Okay; I think I need something stronger." Eda said, pulling back and switching the air horn for a flash grenade.

"EDA, NO GRENADES!" Camila said, grabbing Eda's arm.

"I gotta do it, Cam! Just look at her! Is she even breathing!?" Eda asked, gesturing to Boscha.

"She should be.....Dios mio I hope she is." Camila said before walking to Boscha and grabbing her shoulder.

Which was a mistake as Boscha suddenly grabbed and judo throws Camila into the floor!

"... Okay, that was a mistake." Camila said with a groan.

"Damn right it was!" Eda said with a glare as Boscha finally snapped out of her trance.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I just reacted in instinct!" Boscha said, quickly helping Camila to her feet.

"It's fine, it's a lot better than what Amity and Luz did to me." Camila said, stretching and popping her back a bit.

"And it won't compare to what I do to her for hurting my wife." Eda said, glaring at Boscha.

"I'm sorry, I was just- GUH!" Boscha was cut off by a punch to the stomach from Eda.

"Regardless, if you weren't so revenge driven, maybe you could hear us." Eda said as she moved back.

"EDA!" Camila shouted at her wife.

"Don't judge me, Cam. Anyone who hurts my wife gets punched." Eda said without shame.

'Damn, she hits harder than I thought!' Boscha thought, holding her stomach.

"Now, come out of your little hole and eat breakfast." Eda said to Boscha before she went downstairs.

"None of your family likes me." Boscha said to Camila.

"That's not true. I like you." Camila said, dusting herself off.

"Yeah, well, the rest of them kinda want to kill me." Boscha said blankly.

"I'm sure they just need to get to know you. You do seem like a nice girl, maybe you should just tone it down on finding Venom for now." Camila said with a gentle tone.

"I can't, he's too dangerous to be left out there." Boscha said, shaking her head.

"Boscha, do you know how many people in New York say that about the other villains in the city?" Camila asked. "Just over 8 MILLION."

"But Venom-" Camila held up a finger with a stern expression.

"Can wait. He's just another little fish in this big pond. So stop focusing on him and come eat." Camila said to her.

"...Fine." Boscha said wifh a sigh.

Camila smiled with a nod as she lead Boscha out of her apartment.

'This is going to suck.' Boscha thought.

A few minutes later, Boscha was eating like her life depended on it. Seems she didn't eat a thing after patrol last night, so her body was making up for lost fuel.

"Are you entering an eating contest later?" Luz asked.

"If I find that fun, then yes. Until then, no." Boscha said, stopping for a second.

"So you're saying you want to EAT Venom? That's a double-"

"I know what it is. I'm not stupid." Boscha said to Amity, pointing her fork at Amity.

Boscha couldn't stop thinking about Venom.

His face, his voice, his monstrous aura; it made Boscha both scared and furious just thinking about him. Only his death would calm these nerves.

"Kid, there's saying about revenge. If you're looking for vengeance, make sure to dig TWO graves." Eda warned her.

"For if you split your target in two?" Boscha retorted sarcastically.

"No but funny joke." Eda said blankly.

"Eda, please." Camila said to her.

"What? I can admit that it was funny." Eda said.

"Mom, so long as she's with us, she's not going to be doing any killing. Heroes don't kill, no matter how monstrous someone is." Luz said.

"That doesn't work with what I've been taught. I can't be certain but if Venom is on the path to becoming a Kishin, then I have to do my duty to kill him before he can become a source of madness." Boscha said firmly, gripping her knife so hard her knuckles were turning white.

"That won't happen unless he consumes enough human souls and possibly a witch soul. This city might be full of super villains but it's also full of other super heroes and police armed to the teeth with anti villain weapons." Eda said.

Luz shifted in her seat... she's been on the receiving end of those weapons more times than she'd like to admit.

"That might destroy his physical body but his soul, that is going to need to be contained." Boscha said, pointing with her knife.

"Would a jar do?" Amity asked.

"Most likely." Boscha said, even if that was a joke.

"Not one of mine." Eda said.

"Can we please stop talking about putting things in jars and just eat?" Camila asked.

'That is the most strange sentence I have ever said.' Camila thought.

And that was sad, because her wife was a witch, her daughter became a witch, and her daughter's girlfriend can become a super powered suit that Luz wears to fight crime.

"So, changing the topic." Boscha said, looking at Luz. "Your magic, how? I couldn't sense it when I saw your soul."

"Soul Protect." Luz said, not elaborating.

"Soul Protect?" Boscha repeated.

"Soul Protect. Now leave it at that and eat, Pinky." Eda said. "Also, if you think you're gonna stay here for free, you better throw that out the damn window."

"Eda." Camila warned.

"Camila..." Eda said back.

Before they coukd argue, Boscha pulled out her wallet and easily tossed Eda a wad of hundreds.

"Here's my rent for about 3 months." Boscha said plainly.

"..." Everyone just stared at the wad of hundreds, Eda especially as she slowly counted the money.

"You know I'm starting to like her." Eda said, grinning.

"You didn't tell us you were well off." Amity said to Boscha.

"You didn't ask, didn't seem important either." Boscha said with a shrug. "Besides, after running away to find Venom... my moms are probably going to shut off access to my account."

"You did what now?" Camila asked with a glare.

"Join the club, sister." Eda said as she put the money in her hair. "Welcome to Spider Apartments!"

Suddenly there was a news report. Something that came in Luz's phone as she quickly pulled it out and watched the report.

"It's a break in." She said, before looking closer, "Done by... a big... black... creature."

Boscha stood up and rushed over, nearly pushing Luz over as she looked over her shoulder.

"Jesus! Have you ever heard of personal space?" Luz asked but Boscha ignored her.

"He's planning something... we need to go stop him!" She said.

"Not during breakfast you're not." Camila said with a glare. "One of the rules in this house is that nobody leaves the table until they clean their plate. I will NOT have wasted food in this house."

"There are lives on the line!" Boscha said.

"Then you better clean your plate. NOW." Camila said, firm and unwavering.

"Seriously!?" Boscha yelled.

"You get used to it." Amity and Luz said.

"Better hurry, rich girl, or Venom will get away." Eda said as she went back to eating.

Groaning loudly, Boscha opened her mouth VERY WIDE and shoved the entirey of her plate's food inside.

"What the fuck?!" Luz shouted in shock as Boscha put an empty plate on the table. "How the fuck did you do that?!"

"Ive been able to unhinge my jaw on command since I was three." Boscha answered with a full mouth as she chewed her food and reattached her jaw. "Helps with tanking hits to the face."

'And she thinks Venom and kishins are scary.' Luz and Amity thought.

"There. Done. Go. Now." Boscha said, wiping her mouth clean.

"Rude." Luz said as she and Amity eat at a slightly faster pace.

Once done, the trio rushed out. Leaving Eda and Camila at the table.

"So...I'm washing dishes?" Eda asked.

"Yes. Now give me the money so I can put it in the family safe." Camila said, holding her hand out. "All of it or else I'll search your hair again."

"Ugh, you're no fun." Eda said.

Eda pulled money out and gave it to her wife, receiving a kiss on the cheek as a reward.

"Love you." Camila said.

"Love you, too." Eda said with a grin
