Venom stood up in the hole he made in the street. What the hell hit me?, he thought. By the time he jumped out of the hole, Spider-Man and Cassie were gone. Oh well, I'll eat his brains next time. At least now he knows I can beat him to a pulp at any time I wish, he laughed at his thoughts and blended into the shadows of an alley while his other provided a disguise. He walked down the block, a skip in his step. Happy for the first time in a long while.
