Chapter 57: Shriek (Carnage Arc)
(Ravencroft)
Cletus walking through the halls with an instructor of Ravencroft. He was in charge of the restructuring Ravencroft.
Cletus: You want me to be the psychiatrist for patient-01?
Ravencroft Instructor: Afraid so. Nobody wants to take this inmate. But we want help these criminals see the light in themselves. Ravencroft will be a rehabilitation center for criminals. Locking them up into isolation will worsen their condition.
Cletus: What If we can't?
Ravencroft Instructor: Then it's to the Raft or Rikers. But any way here's your patient.
Cletus is then handed a file Folder and reads it.
Cletus: Frances Louise Barrison. Born May 1, 1993. Gained the to manipulate sound after being shot through her right eye and obtaining what is presumed to be dark matter...?
Ravencroft Instructor: Yep...She was abused at a young age. But here we are.
They come to a door sealed shut. The Guards open the door to see a woman in a white prison jumpsuit. She had a black mark on her right eye and jet black hair.
Ravencroft Instructor: Oh and take these. You'll need them.
The Instructor gave Cletus Noise cancelling headphones. Cletus soon enters the room and comes to a big glass box that is supposed to weaken her abilities in case of breaking out. Cletus then sits down in a chair.
Cletus: Hello Miss, Can You Hear Me?
???: Oh Yes...I can hear you...LOUD...!
(Ignore Venom in the picture)
She creates a sonic blast just by raising her voice. The people on the outside of cell room watching had heard a very eerie ringing. Cletus didn't hear anything, Thanks to the headphones.
???:...and clear.
Cletus: That's good Ma'am. Let's start off with some questions. My Name is Cletus Kasady. What is yours?
???: Frances Barrison...But the public eye call me Shriek.
Cletus: So...Shriek, What brings you in today?
Shriek: I was arrested for public disturbance. I don't see anything wrong with a little loud music. Do you listen to Metalocalypse: Dethklok?
Cletus: Never heard of it. Off to the next question: When did you first notice you're symptoms?
Shriek: Symptoms?! I'm not sick Doc. I don't even know how I got these powers. I don't remember.
Cletus: So...You have no memory of where your from?
Shriek: No...No I don't...
Cletus: Do you ever feel that people are bothering you...or tying to harm you?
Shriek: No. Besides...I don't even have friends.
Cletus: Well Shriek, You got one now...
Cletus smiles, as does Shriek. The Instructor watches in amazement. Cletus was able to get Shriek to open up for once.
Ravencroft Instructor: Interesting...
(Later)
Meanwhile, Y/n was eating cereal. He was watching WWE until the news decided to take thing from here.
Y/n: Hulk Hogan, NO!
News Reporter: This Just in: A new vigilante is roaming the streets. It's not Spider-Man and it's not the Punisher.
Y/n spits out his cereal as saw.....very gruesome images of Thugs decapitated or missing limbs. Y/n rushed to get his suit as he continued to watch the news. It said that this new vigilante went by the name of "Lethal Protector"
Y/n: Lethal Protector? Okay, Criminals may be bad, But they don't deserve death. I need to find out who's doing this.
Y/n then exits through the window but he failed to notice a man in patient clothing in an alley. The patient was a bit wobbly and was trying to use the walls as support. He then feels a painful sensation in his stomach and soon his lungs and begins to vomit out blood before collapsing. The red puddle then materializes into a small red monster and stares at the corpse that used to be his host.
?!?: Heh...Humans....Such A Poor Design....
The goop then reverts back as a blob and crawls off elsewhere but just before leaving it absorbs a smaller piece of the same kind before moving to it's next hosts.
(5 weeks Later)
(With Cletus)
Cletus was doing a video summary in his room. It had been 5 weeks since working as Shriek's psychiatrist. He was starting to have feelings of affection for.
Cletus: Day #35, I have gotten a little closer to Shriek. But...Things are start to look different. She's changed. She's very passive towards me, But aggressive towards other that aren't me. We had nice conversation here and there but,...I'm starting to have these thoughts for her. I want to , but I can't. It will violate the code of conduct their, Plus...I think they're starting to suspect our connection...She gave me this necklace. I don't know what it symbolizes but she said...
(Flashback)
Shriek: It's a moon necklace...I want you to keep it...
Cletus: What does it mean? I've only known for a few days but I don't know what it's supposed to mean...
Shriek: The moon is a symbol of interdependency. Yin and Yang, Fire and Water...Life and Death. *Whisper* Me and You...
Cletus: I still don't get it...
Shriek: I can tell, You have friends...But you're very lonely. The Moon is like an hourglass. The light side is how much time you have left. The dark side is the time that's running out.
Cletus:...
Shriek: Spend time with the ones you love. Once the dark side of the moon takes over...There will be no more you...
Cletus:...I understand now...
There was a long silence between them. Shriek then breaks the silence.
Shriek: Cletus...Do you think I'll ever get out of here?
Cletus:...Yes. I'll even make sure of it.
Cletus puts his hand on the glass as does Shriek. Hoping to be together. One day.
(Flashback Ends)
Cletus: But I don't know...Maybe I'm delusional...
(The Author: *Mashes 'X' With Malicious intent* )
Cletus then ends the video with feelings of being in denial. Cletus really did love Shriek. Maybe this job was perfect. Cletus goes to bed but fails to notice a red slimy blob goes inside of Cletus' room and Latches onto him in his sleep.
(Meanwhile)
Later in the apartment, Y/n was now slowly losing his mind. Everywhere he went, He found bodies. The dead kind. It wasn't Punisher, Which was the worst part. These bodies were missing limbs or heads. Y/n had a whole detective board that spanned for three walls.
Y/n Right Now:
Y/n: Financial District, Mott Street, Brooklyn Bridge; Queens and The Bar With No Name. All the places have been littered with corpses. There's something I'm not seeing...Y/n takes the thumb drive the wall and plays it through his computer. He watches the video footage of the thugs loading trucks with drugs. He then watches the part a figure in comes in and stops the party. Y/n stops the video where he sees the figure throw the truck at the thugs.
Y/n: Wait a minute...
Y/n notices that the figure had white, but they like the one on his mask. Y/n zoomed in closer and saw a toothy smile after enhancing the image. Y/n had finally come to a conclusion.
Y/n: It can't be...But there no turning back...Venom is alive...
(The Next Day)
The Next Day, Cletus woke up feeling extremely tired. He had bags under eyes and his hair was messy. He goes to the bathroom to wash his face, But when he looks in the mirror, He sees a twisted reflection of himself.
?!?: Cletus....
Cletus jumps back in fear as he saw the image in the mirror. Cletus then slowly walks towards the mirror to see the image once more. It was red and black with white eyes and a toothy smile. Cletus gets closer to the mirror and sees the image get close in sync.
Cletus: This Can't Be Happening...Y-Y-You're like a thing that latches onto someone...You're not real...You're like Parasite.
?!?: PARASITE!?!!
Cletus is then grabbed by the wall and glued there as he failed to break free.
?!?: We Klyntars prefer the term...Alien-Companion rather than...Parasite.
Cletus: Who Are You....A-A-A-And What are you?!!?!
?!?: Carnage!!! And You are my host.
Cletus: Host? No...
Carnage: Yesss....We are bonded together...
Cletus: This can't be happening....This can't! IT CAN'T!!!!!!!
Carnage: Calm Down! Will You...
Cletus then begins to calm down as he soon as Carnage tells him. He is then released from the wall and a full calmed Cletus walks towards the mirror.
Cletus: Okay...Okay....What do you want from me?
Carnage: Nothing...Just your....Friendship.
Cletus: Look, I-I-I'm sorry, But I don't know you and You don't know me. I'm a bit skeptical on your offer.
Carnage: Oh...That's okay...Too Bad I'm the only one who knows how to get Shriek out.
Cletus then stops at the door after hearing what he had just heard. He then walks back to the mirror and stares at Carnage.
Cletus: How do you know about that?
Carnage: When a Klyntar bonds to it's host, We inherit there memories. Including their thoughts. I know You're thinking about her. Not a day goes by with her voice in her head...
Cletus:...
Carnage: Look, You Want to be with Shriek, I want a compatible host. With the both of...We'll be unstoppable....Do We Have a deal?
Cletus:.......Deal....
Carnage smiles at the answer. But little know, Carnage's intentions weren't what they appeared to be.
Carnage: This is the start of a Healthy Partnership Boy...
(Ravencroft)
Meanwhile at Ravencroft, Two Guards were at the gates. They were guarding the entrance, But at the moment they were talking to each other.
Ravencroft Guards: HA HA HA
The two then see a figure walk up to the gates.
Ravencroft Guard #1: Hey! It's Past Hours! What Are You Doing Here?!
Ravencroft Guard #2: Yeah! Turn Back Now, Or We'll use lethal force.
They then see Cletus walking up to the them. The two soldiers then lower their weapons once they saw Cletus.
Ravencroft Guard #1: Cletus? What are you doing here at this time?
Cletus:...
Cletus was silent when the question asked. This caused the Guards to worry.
Ravencroft Guard #2:....Cletus...?
Cletus looks up with devious smiles with black veins surrounding his eyes as his eye color was now Purple mixed with a hint of yellow.
There's gonna Carnage.....
