AOV #6 - Upgrades

"Why can't you ask Cap?"

Y/N sighed as he gripped the phone in the booth tightly as he laughed a little "Have you met Cap! He'd be like a mother looking after for her child."

There was a snigger on the other end of the line "Did you just call Steve your mother?"

"Live with Steve for two years and you'll find he's very much the mother hen."

"Definitely using that as Steve's new nickname, but why not Bruce?"

"What! Give The Green Machine a secret to keep, the stress of keeping a secret from the rest of you! He'd Hulk out every other day." Y/N explained as he looked on at the cars passing by on the street.

"Besides I don't trust Clint enough and Natasha..." Y/N removed himself from the phone and took a deep breath in before slowly exhaling "well doesn't really like me at the moment."

Tony who was on the other end of the phone was pleased to hear that Y/N was still alive but was less than pleased to hear that he wasn't returning any time soon however his thoughts were interrupted by Y/N.

"Hey Tin Man, you owe me remember." Y/N reminded Stark.

Tony was flabbergasted"What are you talking about!?"

Y/N decided to jog Iron Man's memory "Uhhh, 2013 your birthday party where I flirted  heavily with Pepper and you got soooo jealous, you literally dragged her away from me. Next day you tried to rub in my face how many times you got laid."

Tony smirked at the memory and whistled "Yeah me and her really did go to town....... But I'm pretty sure me not telling the team you're around trumps me getting some."

Y/N scoffed "Think about this is your chance to become the man. The Iron MAN" He said trying to use Tony's manhood as a possible bargaining chip.

"Ugghhh fine!" Tony finally succumbed to Y/N's request "What am I supposed to do when they keep looking?"

Y/N was very unsympathetic towards Tony "Oh I'm sorry I thought you were Mister 'Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist'.  Figure it the fuck out!"

"Jeez Louise, murderbot calm down. I'll keep you covered but if something comes up and we need you. I'm calling your ass straight a-fucking-way."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Y/N then sighed "Thanks Tony, I appreciate it."

"Hey, what are friends for." He reassured as chatter was heard in the background "Alright, that's Pepper." He informed the Mercenary.

"Well I'll let you go." Y/N was about to put the phone but hastily put it back up to his ear "And Stark."

"Yello."

"You forget a thousand things everyday, make sure this is one of 'em." Y/N cryptically reminded the billionaire before hanging up by slamming the phone back where it belong.

At Stark Tower, Tony took Y/N's words on board he muttered to himself "Sheesh, the things I do for friendship. I deserve a Fuckin' award."

Pepper then came into the room and asked "Who was that on the phone."

Tony came up with a quick believable lie for him "Oh it was just some guy who had used massive crush on you or whatever."

Pepper raised her eyebrow in curiousity as she put her hands on her hips "Oooooh did he leave his name?" She teased the billionaire to try and make him a little jealous.

Tony was a little surprised at Pepper, but in a good way as he shook his head "Nah, why bother learning a name if they're not sticking around."

Pepper was a little suspicious of Tony's answer "Hmmmmm, well dinner's ready so come on." She told him before walking upstairs.

Tony fixated his eyes on his blonde girlfriend as she walked away before he huffed and chuckled to himself "Like Y/N could EVER get her."

--

It was a month after Venompool had returned to Earth and since he had become a member of the Four Horseman alongside Blade, Punisher and Wolverine.

Ever since the night of the first Vampire hunt, Y/N had been feeling....... Different. He wasn't feeling sick or ill just very slightly off. Now for Venom on the other hand, these changes were more than welcome.

Y/N's changes forced him into action so he and Venom decided to go on a solo journey to a place where they could determine for sure what the hell was going on with him, getting in touch with his contact to let him know he was on his way for a visit.

Besides he hadn't seen them for a few years.

--

Y/N and Venom were trekking through the rocky mountains, with the sun absolutely at scorching hottest as it's rays seemed to only hit Y/N and nowhere else.

"It's so fucking hot!" Venom panted as he complained.

"Why are you panting? I'm the one whose doing all the hard work here." Y/N asked his symbiote confusedly as he powered on through the rocky terrain.

Venom mentally slapped himself in realisation "Oh yeah! I am completely fine but you're the one suffering, so actually I'm better than fine."

Y/N let out a chuckle "I'll remember that the next time I see a burning building." He slightly threatened with the Symbiote merely scoffing in reply.

After a couple of hours, the sun had set, creating a more navy atmosphere, but it was still hot as hell he had finally made it to the top of the mountain where his contact had told him to meet him.

Y/N bent over, resting his hands on his knees whilst wheezing dramatically "These....... Mountains need.......... Elevators."

He then looked slightly into the see a man in a full body jet black suit which covered him from head to toe. The figure then approached him in a slight jog as Y/N got himself to stand up straight.

"Hey Pussycat!" Y/N greeted as the person got near him as he removed his mask.

(A/N - This man is the definition of a Hero. R.I.P Chadwick Boseman, The King.)

Prince T'Challa chuckled slightly at the nickname before extending his hand to Y/N "Captain L/N, Welcome back to Wakanda." He announced with pride for his nation.

Y/N accepted T'Challa's gesture but groaned at the use of his military title "I've told you and Black Panther senior that Y/N is fine or dickhead, twat or Venompool." He reminded the new Black Panther.

T'Challa shook his head before gesturing for Y/N to follow him "And as my father and I have told you, we use your military title because you are respected as a warrior here."

Y/N was going to come up with a reply but T'Challa had led him to his aircraft making Y/N scoff "You had an aircraft here this whole time!"

"Of course." The future king of Wakanda said.

"Well why did I have to walk up to the top of a fucking mountain when you've got this baby on standby."

T'Challa shrugged his shoulders "I thought you would appreciate the scenic route, be at one with nature." He said with a teasing tone.

"If I wanted to 'be at one with nature', I'd watch the David Attenborough documentaries." He retorted as the pair stepped on the pilot less aircraft before taking off into the heart of Wakanda.

"So how have you been Y/N?" T'Challa asked his friend reverting back to using the mercenary's first name "I must say my family and I have were relieved to hear you were still alive after your disappearance." He told Y/N.

Y/N summarised what happened in space to the Wakandan Prince, who absolutely believed Y/N, as the aircraft flew over the tiny African nation and it's extremely technological advances.

"Fuck, I love this place."

"I know right, this place is fucking awesome." Y/N complimented, making T'Challa smile widely that Y/N appreciated his nation.

"Your friend is good as well?" T'Challa asked.

Venom then emerged out of Y/N's shoulder "It's all good in here bro." He said before going back inside his host's body, never being much for social interaction.

The aircraft soon landed outside of the Citadel in the aptly named Golden City with Prince T'Challa guiding Y/N out of the vehicle as T'Challa's family and friends who awaited the arrival of their guest.

Okoye, leader of the Dora Milaje, was the first to greet Y/N. She was dressed in her robes with her trusty spear in hand.

"Captain L/N, Welcome." She greeted performing a slight bow as a sign of respect.

"Okoye!" He exclaimed before tutting as he flicked the spear "You still haven't got a katana sword. I thought I told you you'd then be as badass as Michonne from The Walking Dead."

"I still don't know who that is." The bald lady said as she shook her head before looking at the spear "Besides I prefer the more traditional weaponry." She answered taking pride in her weapon of choice.

"This is the point where I make a sexual joke about me having type of spear for you to hold." He said glancing down at his crotch.

"Ahhhh Misogyny 101."

"Not me or any of the Dora Milaje." She confidentially stated.

"Challenge accepted." Y/N said with a wink towards the Wakandan general who stepped back to let the others greet Y/N.

T'Challa's mother and sister, Ramonda and Shuri then welcomed Y/N with the happiness evident on their faces.

"Shuri." Y/N said as he held out his fist to the scientific genius possibly even more so than Stark.

Having slightly more freedom to be a little different than her brother, Shuri returned the fist bump "Y/N! It's so good to see you again. It gets boring annoying the rest by myself."

"Well I'm sure to turn the annoying factor up to infinity." Y/N practically promised the young Wakandan princess who was pleased at the response.

"Dear Bast, I hope not." T'Challa said hopefully.

"Clearly don't know the guy then."

Y/N's eyebrows furrowed at the man "Really? Have you met me?" Y/N asked in am effort to remind T'Challa of one of his most prominent personality traits.

"Yeah, just basically copy me, you know what I don't even care."

"How could I forget?" T'Challa sarcastically replied to Y/N.

"T'Challa, don't be rude to our guest." His mother Ramonda reminded him of his manners earning a VERY loud snigger from Y/N and Venom.

"Yeah, T'Challa don't be rude to your guest." Y/N mimicked Ramonda and even added a sassy hands on his hips to rub it in.

"Always gotta play the dick."

"No playing involved, my slimy sacked friend."

T'Challa glared at Y/N who had a huge smirk on his face "Sorry mother." He said apologetically.

Ramonda nodded once as an acceptance of his apology before gripping Y/N by his shoulders making the Mercenary chuckle "Oh Y/N, we are so pleased to have you back." She said before giving him a kiss on each cheek.

"It appears you have still not aged a single day, that is incredibly impolite of you." She said to the Avenger.

Y/N playfully scoffed "Oh I don't know, you don't look a day over twenty five." He complimented Ramonda with a winning smile followed by a wink.

"Oh Christ above, here we go again."

The Queen of Wakanda shook her head after letting out a small laugh which embarrassed T'Challa and Shuri to no end "Always such a charmer."

Y/N clicked his tongue "It's a natural gift plus it helps that I've got supermodel looks."

T'Challa and Shuri both looked at Y/N with a hopeful look in their eyes "Please stop flirting with our mother." T'Challa pleaded.

"Yes, pllease stop flirting with my wife, Captain L/N." A male voice said as he approached from behind the Citadel.

The ladies moved aside for the King of Wakanda, T'Chaka who looked at Y/N with open arms as he walked towards him "My dear friend." He greeted as he slowly hugged the hybrid mercenary patting him on the back a few times "Wakanda is pleased to have you back."

"Damn, I'm really getting the royal treatment here." Y/N said as he clapped his hands in delight.

"You are the only outsider that we have opened our arms especially seeing as what you did for this nation after what Klaue did." King T'Chaka said with poison at the thought of Ulysses Klaue "It is only right we treat you

Y/N put his hand over his own chest and said "My hero instincts kicked in." He said in a somewhat arrogant tone.

"Evidently." King T'Chaka said "I must say we were hoping for a visit earlier but we understand that you........ March to the beat of your own drum."

Y/N's mouth was wide open with graciousness "And that's why I love it here!" He exclaimed as he looked at everyone individually "People who understand me....... to an extent." He added knowing that no one truly knows or understands him.

"Warriors recognise other warriors." T'Challa said.

King T'Chaka nodded in agreement with his son "My son is correct." He said before inviting Y/N into the Citadel "Now, I'm sure you would care for some rest after a long journey here."

Y/N then stared at T'Challa "Yeah, a real long journey." Y/N snarled a little as the prince of Wakanda had a slightly proud smirk on his face.

"Don't be a bitch about it."

"I'm not being a bitch about it." He mentally argued back with the Symbiote.

"We'll talk more about your situation in the morning Y/N. For now get some rest." T'Chaka advised "That goes for everyone. Rest up and reconvene in the morning." The king politely ordered as they all retired to their chambers for the night with T'Challa showing Y/N to his quarters.

--

The next morning, T'Challa and Shuri brought Venompool to the Wakandan Laboratory to run some tests on him.

"I just want to establish some ground rules." Y/N said as he trailed behind the two siblings.

"Ok." Shuri glanced behind.

"There will be absolutely NO cutting me open or sticking needles up in or around my downstairs. Got it?" Y/N overdramatically stated, earning a roll of the eyes from the pair.

"Y/N, what do you think this place is?" T'Challa asked him with furrowed eyebrows.

Y/N wrapped his arms around the two siblings "My dear royal friends, clearly you are not up to date on movies........ Superdude in a science lab usually has the science people wanting Superdude's superness."

Shuri clicked her fingers "Bast!" She exclaimed "My plans to take over the world have been foiled."

Y/N chuckled whilst T'Challa gave his younger sister a questioning look before Shuri started laughing as she playfully hit her big brother in the chest "Kidding brother." She said before going to set up her equipment.

Y/N also tapped T'Challa in the torso "Yeah, lighten up brother." He said in a similar tone to Shuri's.

T'Challa stared at Y/N for a few seconds "You mimic my mother and my sister, who's next my father?" He asked the Merc.

"We'd be a terrible father figure."

"I'm like your awesome uncle who pops by every so often to do fun shit with you." Y/N reassured the future king.

A thought then popped into T'Challa's mind "So I could call you Uncle Y/N?" He offered up hoping to get a slight reaction out of Y/N.

A small look of horror appeared on Y/N's face making T'Challa smirk "Fuck no! That makes me sound super old and I am in the prime of my life." He assured.

"Hey idiots come on, I haven't got all day." Shuri said with wide eyes as she tapped her wrist.

The two men headed towards T'Challa's genius sister as he quietly said to Y/N "I blame you entirely for her sassiness."

Y/N feigned injury as he held his chest "I've pass my teachings of sass and quips to your sister whereas you get the fight training from me."

"Ahhh very true, I wish to test my skills against you again. Of course at a later date."  He challenged Y/N.

Y/N in response stopped and looked directly at T'Challa's ass making the Wakandan native question "What are you doing?"

Y/N smiled "Just getting a before shot of your ass before I kick it."

"Which we will because we're fucking awesome."

T'Challa laughed "Always one for the fighting talk."

"DUH!"

--

Y/N looked around the laboratory as he sat up right on a table whilst Shuri took a sample of his blood "So how long do you think this will take?" He asked Shuri.

"I'm not sure." She said as she looked at the vial of Y/N's crimson blood in her hand "I'll have to compare it to the data from last time."

"Whilst Shuri's examining your blood, I'll show you some things that we had made for you in your absence." T'Challa said to Y/N who hopped off the table eagerly.

"Ooooooooh it's like Christmas has come early for me." Y/N said clapping his hands together happily with his attitude resembling that of a small child.

"This place has had a proper fucking glow up since I was last here." Y/N commented as he looked around the state of the art resources surrounding the place.

T'Challa relished the compliment given to the nation despite the crude wording "Well, we were able to make a lot of advancements with all the Chitauri technology that you brought us after New York."

Y/N shrugged his shoulders "You know there was a part of me that was very tempted to sell it." He admitted to T'Challa.

"Well we can make better use of those resources than anyone else could." T'Challa said, knowing he had full faith in what his people could do.

Y/N hummed in agreement as Venom yelled from I side Y/N's body "Where's our presents!?" The Symbiote complained loudly in Y/N's head.

"Would you chill the fuck out, giving me a bloody headache." Y/N scolded his symbiote.

"Oh boo hoo." The Klyntar mocked his host.

T'Challa finally brought Y/N to where he wanted to take him and Y/N was in awe of what was in front of him "What in the ass?" He strained out.

T'Challa smiled at his friend's reaction "Shuri was yapping in my ear about the stuff we've made for you so I should know what I'm talking about."

"Yeah, please don't go into any kind of salesman careers because your pitches are really quite shit."

T'Challa huffed before displaying the first weapon.

"I know you are a fan of your melee weaponry so we designed this Bo Staff for you." He said flaunting the six foot metal weapon.

"Noice" He complimented as he gazed at the new weapon "Good for fighting people and ramming up people's asses."

"That's not the intention we had when we designed this." T'Challa voiced his opinion as he winced at the thought of what Y/N might have in store for his enemies.

T'Challa grabbed the Bo Staff which had a very tiny silver button on the side which when he clicked it, caused the staff to shrink into a much more manageable size of around a foot in length.

"Retractable, to make it easier to carry around, made out of vibranium so durable yet light." He explained as he handed the staff to Y/N "Now, Shuri implemented a small Chitauri energy core within the staff so when you strike the ground. A small energy wave will taken down enemies in a fifteen foot radius."

"Wait so we could be like Gandalf?" Venom theorised which intrigued Y/N.

"Yes!" Y/N exclaimed "I can't wait to yell 'YOU SHALL NOT PASS' to some pour fuckers on the end of my fury." Y/N then realised that he startled T'Challa with his yelling.

"Sorry T" He apologised to the Wakandan Prince "I was quoting a movie."

"It is fine, but perhaps some warning next time." He said before moving onto the next weapon.

"Hey, these are my swords." Y/N pointed out to T'Challa who was already aware out of the fact.

"Yes, but we have taken the liberty to keep the Tsuka (handle) the same but we have replaced the blade from steel to vibranium." He explained before hitting Y/N lightly in the chest "Call it a security protocol in case your other blade broke."

He was glad that T'Challa had kept the handle the same especially seeing who originally bought him the swords.

"I can't wait to slice and dice some unfortunate motherfuckers with these." Y/N said as he gripped the swords which were notably lighter than before.

T'Challa then brought him to the final things that they had for him "Now this is what we like to call the Crème De la Crème of what we've made for you."

"Holy fucking shit!" Y/N exclaimed when he saw the sight of the new suit in front of him.

"Fuck me, that's real purty."

"I see that you like the new suit. It'll help improve when you are fighting your enemies." He stated to Y/N who gave him a quizzical look.

"Are you saying that this gemstone needs polished, girlfriend." Y/N joked gesturing to himself.

"There is always room for improvement." He said as the pair of them walked around the new suit "Similar to my Black Panther suit in that it's weaved with Vibranium throughout it."

"Very nice." Y/N said whilst doing his best possible Borat impression.

"Now I'm going to need you to try it on." T'Challa requested with his usual politeness.

"Sure, let me get into that bitch." Y/N said as he quickly started stripping in the middle of the lab.

T'Challa quickly turned away as he was shocked at what the mercenary was doing "Y/N, Y/N, Y/N. I didn't mean try it on right here."

"A - You never made that clear to me and B - There's no time like the present." He defended his actions "Besides I've still got my underwear and socks on." He attempted to reassure the slightly horrified T'Challa.

Y/N hastily changed into the new vibranium enhanced suit before saying "Focus your eyeholes on your boy, kitty cat." Y/N advised T'Challa who slowly turned around to observe the handy work.

"Seems to fit you well." T'Challa said nodding at Y/N's new suit.

"Like a condom on a cock."

T'Challa scoffed at Y/N's analogy before he requested "Now could your friend cover the suit, I want to do a small test."

"Sure, Venom Mode!" He yelled almost as an order to the Klyntar inhabiting his body.

"ACTIVATE!" The Symbiote yelled back as the black slime of the Klyntar biologically covered the new suit which morphed into a new hybrid of the suit with parts on the arms, legs and torso turning from white to black. 

"Impressive." T'Challa complimented as he walked towards Y/N "Now I'm going to hit you but I don't want you to block it, alright?"

Y/N braced himself "In the words of Pat Benatar...... Hit Me With Your Best Shot."

T'Challa brought his fist back and then hit Y/N straight in the right side of his abdomen which Y/N didn't really feel "Hey, that tickles." Y/N commented but as he looked down he saw some purple dots where T'Challa had struck him. 

"What the fuck?" Y/N questioned as he looked at the newly purple area on his suit.

"Fantastic." T'Challa said quietly as he brushed his hand over the purple dots, he looked at the confused Y/N with a chuckle "These are nanites, they hold the kinetic energy in place and hold it in place for redistribution."

"Wait so I'm hit in the same place, it sends whoever hits me fucking flying." Y/N said trying to make sense of it, science never was his best subject.

"In essence, yes." T'Challa couldn't hide his joy from his face "We were worried that with your biological enhancements, the nanites wouldn't take effect."

"Dude, you have seriously gone all out here." Y/N stated as he looked down at the new suit "Plus I seriously rate the built in pouches and pockets."

"Yes, it is much more efficient than strapping things to your body."

"What do you think Venom?" Y/N asked out loud.

Venom made an appearance from Y/N's shoulder "Me gusta the suit and the new toys."

T'Challa nodded graciously towards the pair as Shuri came around the corner with a slightly scared look on her face.

"Are you okay Shuri?" Her big brother instinctively asked.

"Uhhhhhh, you need to look at this." She said before walking off.

Y/N sighed "'You better take a look at this' cliché."

--

Y/N and T'Challa followed Shuri who was looking at Y/N's blood sample with the results on the screen.

Shuri cleared her throat before speaking "Y/N, your blood test result.......... It's a little bizarre to say the least."

Y/N sniggered "Bizarre is like my middle name along with danger, murder, annoying and also my actual middle name."

"How is it bizarre?" T'Challa asked his little sister.

Shuri looked at Y/N "Your blood shares similarities with previous warriors that have absorbed the Heart Shaped Herb."

"Well it's not like I've got my mitts on any of your herbs." Y/N defended himself.

"No, I know you've not." T'Challa reassured Y/N whilst Shuri looked on at the outsider.

"Your healing factor...." She started before Y/N cut her off.

"Ah, Super Duper Healing Factor." He corrected the young Wakandan princess.

"Sorry, 'Super Duper Healing Factor' is causing whatever you have inside of you to mutate."

"And what's that mean?" Y/N asked the genius girl.

"Well, all of your cells are constantly healing themselves so your body is constantly in it's optimum condition. There's a mutation in your blood and it's continually being replenished." Shuri explained as she had a hint of sadness in her eyes

"I don't think it's possible to remove this mutation without doing some kind of full body transplant." She theorised to the two men.

T'Challa turned to Y/N "So what caused this Y/N? That's why you've come here." T'Challa asked wanting to get answers about his friend's condition.

He thought back to when he was bitten by that vampire and then rapidly yet softly hit T'Challa in his arm as he asked him "What's the effects of the Heart Shaped Herb?"

The future king was a little confused "The enhancements that it gives?" T'Challa asked looking for clarification.

"No, I wanna know if I can get high off of it." Y/N sarcastically said, making Shuri chuckle and T'Challa roll his eyes "Yes, the shitting enhancements."

T'Challa started listing off the enhancements that the herb gave as he counted them on his fingers "Heightened senses, enhanced healing. Superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, durability and agility."

Y/N's eyes widened in slight horror, it was exactly what Blade had told him were the powers he had except there were some added things that he had including Decelerated aging, ability to cling to surfaces and most of all......... The Thirst.

"Fuck, it all makes sense. Your preference to bloodier things recently, the better senses. It means...."

"It means I'm part fucking Vampire."


So Venompool is in fact a Mutant Dhampir, the next part will be the start to Age Of Ultron and Venompool's reunion with the Avengers.

Hope you're looking forward to it.
