#eddie brock adopts shadow

[talesofsonicasura]

Venom and Shadow

A crossover that came to mind thanks to the latest Sonic the Hedgehog 3 trailer. This partly stems from a different idea I had for a while. If you guys are wondering about the other members of the Sonic movie cast, that will be for a different page. Now let's get started!

It has been 3 months since Eddie lost his job and marriage due to the Life Foundation 'scandal'. Things have been difficult as he struggles to find jobs to keep the roof of his cheap apartment over his head. Nevermind the still fresh emotional turmoil the man inflicted on himself.

Eddie honestly thought the insanity was almost over. That is until one fateful night changed his life forever. He was shamefully walking home in complete darkness. Eddie recently came from another failed job interview, the fifth one this week to be exact.

There is only so much cash writing minor tabloid articles could make him. He was running on fumes and it's only a matter of time before he had nothing. Eddie needed another job if he doesn't want the bills to stack. His thoughts are interrupted by a strange noise in a nearby alleyway.

Any normal person would have ignored but the man was too curious for his own good. Eddie honestly expects the source of the noise to be an alleycat at best and a shaky homeless person at worse. He never expected some black furry creature with red highlights.

Or the white gloves it was wearing to be stained blood from the gunshot wound in their side. Eddie didn't have much of a choice when the being collapsed to the ground. Hopefully he wouldn't regret taking them back to his apartment.

Yup! Eddie's first encounter with the otherworldly is with Shadow instead of Venom. Before anyone even asks, he wouldn't give him up. The movies take inspiration from the comics and Eddie's character is one such thing. He stands up for those who can't defend themselves through words even after he got Venom.

Eddie could use Shadow to gain money or fame but the man wouldn't. By doing so will make him no better than the corrupt individuals he fights such as Drake. To summarize how the hedgehog got out, you can blame an incompetent GUN officer for not monitoring his stasis pod well.

Although Shadow didn't come out of it with just some gunshot wounds. Whatever the officer done to free him resulted in the hedgehog developing amnesia. The only thing he remembers is his name, Maria's and that he is a hedgehog.

Due to his amnesia, Shadow is closer to a docile, nervous yet curious blank slate than an angry vengeful mess. (Like the fandom portrayed him before we got the first trailer for Sonic 3.) Eddie obviously doesn't know what he got himself into. Yet something inside him told the man he had to help the hedgehog.

The next three months consist of Eddie caring for Shadow. It includes taking him outside for nighttime activities, giving him an education to some extent, and anything else the hedgehog needs. This includes clothing to cover up the obvious inhuman appearance whenever they got out especially during the day.

Eddie also studied up on veterinary and standard medical procedures as well. He can't exactly take Shadow to a doctor nor a vet. The man didn't offer him food that normal hedgehog's eat because it might've offended the kid.

Only one person knows what Shadow really looks like: Maria. Meeting the homeless was a very rough affair for two reasons. The first being how it exactly happens.

During the first month, Eddie got into an argument with Shadow and the hedgehog ran off. He runs into Maria being harassed by a few drunks on the street thus he defends her. The woman's name accidentally triggers a lost memory and the intensity of it causes Shadow to collapse. He wakes up in her arms while she lectures Eddie.

This isn't the first incident where regaining a memory would cause the Ultimate Lifeform pain. Even the smallest thing like a cartoon could trigger a memory within Shadow. The more important it seems to be, the more painful it is.

Something that made Eddie extra cautious when it came to finding any information about the hedgehog. He knows it's only a matter of time before Shadow regains his memory. Thus the man would rather take it slowly for both their sakes.

Overall, everything had been mostly peaceful for the duo. Eddie doesn't feel like drowning himself in a bottle as Shadow keeps him grounded and mostly content. That is until Maria goes missing.

When Dora Skirth(female scientist) asks Eddie for help, he's very quick to jump on it. Shadow wasn't taking Maria's disappearance very well and the ex reporter is afraid that the kid will run off to find her. A fear proven true when the hedgehog appears at the lab to rescue the now unconscious woman.

Shadow was able to get Maria to a nearby hospital in time and doctors were able to resuscitate her. The Venom Symbiote however had already jumped into Eddie. You can bet it was awkward when the amnesiac hedgehog sees his dad walk into the apartment like a zombie. He does stop him from eating trash chicken but couldn't save the tater tots or dino nuggets.

Things get even more chaotic after Venom nips Shadow for trying to save the food. An unknown yet familiar power deep inside the hedgehog slowly begins to awaken. Something that the symbiote seems to recognize.

These newfound Doom Powers immediately put Shadow in the crosshairs of Carlton Drake. Now Eddie has to fight against the Life Foundation while trying to solve the deeper and darker mystery about Shadow. He can't forget trying to manage a predatory symbiotic alien's voracious hunger either. Or the sporadic mutations that begin to emerge within his hedgehog son.

Luckily for them both, Venom is happy to help Eddie protect his 'offspring' than just deal with Drake. Although the Life Foundation isn't the only thing he has to handle. Sometimes the past refuses to stay behind.

Whether it be his or Shadow's.

Previous Chapter // Next Chapter

(Summary: Eddie's first day at Derry High and he has a pretty eventful day.)

~

(Note: Okay so, this is gonna sound weird, but it needs to happen. So yes Eddie just came to Derry and doesn't know much about human life, but he's gonna go to school. And that's the thing, I have no clue how to set up a scene where he finds out about highschool and decides to go. So I'm just gonna say it now, Eddie knows what school is and how to act cause obviously they had schools in The All Lands, but now he's just going to human highschool cause he knows he can't just.... not go to school. I hope this makes sense! So yeah, when Monday rolls around Eddie gets up and gets ready to head to school)

 Monday morning Richie had some time to spare before homeroom which he spent chain-smoking with Beverly. She's one of Richie's long time friends who also happens to be his smoking buddy. The two sat in their usual spot under the bleachers by the football field which gave them a good view of the student parking lot as they people watched. They blew smoke clouds into the sky and talked about whatever came to mind.

Smoking isn't a new pastime for Richie, he started a couple of years ago when his father told him about how Ancestors couldn't get human illnesses. That's why Richie never got sick or had the flu and would never get cancer. At first, Went and Maggie were opposed to the idea since they thought it made Richie look bad, but the two caved as they knew it was better for Richie to be smoking in the bathroom rather than starting fights outback and clawing some punk to death. Smoking had also become a way for the young pup to calm his nerves when life got to be too much. If he was on the verge of losing his grip on his other side he'd start smoking, which would slowly calm the wolf inside of him.

"So Rich, how was your weekend?" Beverly Marsh, one of the most badass, hardcore people Richie knows. She lives her life on her terms, after her father's mysterious death, she was legally adopted by her aunt. Beverly then proceeded to convince her super cool aunt to let her stay in her apartment on her own, and somehow she succeeded.

The werewolf shrugged, "You know, same old same old. Read comics, watched TV, read comics while watching tv". Thinking about the weekend brought up the memory of the vomiting, and what that meant for the full moon. He had 20 days before his first shift, and usually, a wolf would be excited, just waiting to finally 'wolf out'. But not this pup. Richie was worried, he'd never done anything like this before and he was nervous. The visual of the full moon hanging low in the sky prompted Richie to close his eyes and take a long drag.

Then there was that feeling again. Just like the one from Saturday afternoon when he was reading comics and suddenly felt like looking out the window. Just as he finished his drag, Richie's eyes fluttered open, immediately his gaze fell on an unfamiliar face. Richie abruptly began coughing harshly.

"Woah Richie, what's up?" Bev placed her hand on his back and patted it a couple of times.

Richie forced himself to look up again. This time the wolf's eyes were met with a pair of golden Bambi eyes, wide with curiosity. The boy was staring up at the big school building that stood before him then smiled softly down at the paper in his hand. He wore a black beanie but that didn't hide the chocolate brown locks that shined under the warm light of the morning sun. Richie couldn't stop the way his heart skipped a beat at the sight of this earth angel.

"Who's the new kid?" He croaked in between coughs.

Bev urgently looked up to see who he was talking about, she shook her head and turned back to her friend. She quickly reached into her backpack and grabbed her water bottle, slapped it into Richie's hand and forced him to drink. Thankfully, he stopped coughing. "Better?" She asked.

Richie nodded, "Better" he confirmed. When he went to look at the new kid again, he had disappeared.

Shit

 ~

Eddie was excited to start highschool. There was something about this new start at a new school that made him feel like he was finally living his life on his terms. The young Ancestor walked up the main pathway towards the school and fished his packet of forms out from his bag. He began to scan his papers, wondering where he needed to go first but there was a sudden burst of coughs that drew his gaze away from his papers.

Eddie looked up and saw a guy sat under a set of bleachers, frantically coughing. He wore a dark red beanie on his head which covered black messy curls. Eddie didn't get to examine the rest of the boy or even go ask if he was okay, because someone had just walked up to him and began talking.

"Hey are you Eddie?" A female voice asked from beside him.

Eddie had to pry his eyes off of the boy under the bleachers and realized he hadn't even heard what she’d said. He only responded with, "Hm?".

Her smile didn't falter, "You're Eddie, right?" She repeated.

"Yes! That's me" Eddie returned the smile.

"Great, my name is Alley. The office told me that you needed someone to shadow for your first day. We have the same schedule, so you'll be my shadow today" She informed Eddie. Basically she was going to show Eddie around and take him to all her classes, which was a plus because they had them all together.

Alley was a little bit taller than Eddie. Soft caramel brown curls that fell just past her shoulders and matching brown eyes. She wore a red and black flannel with a tye-dye t-shirt underneath that had the phases of the moon on it, ripped jeans and vans. It was different from Eddie's style, but he liked it.

For his first day, the bunny carefully chose an outfit from the clothes he'd brought. A pair of grey-blue jeans and a loose jean button up with the sleeves rolled up. Oh! And his father's beanie of course.

"Great," Eddie said happily and followed Alley into the school.

First, she led him to the office where he signed off on the last of his papers and got the last of the supplies he needed. Next was homeroom, which was biology. Then math, and lunch. Alley insisted that he join her at her normal table which consisted of her friends Regan and Cece. Reagan was a redhead with a subtle southern accent whilst Cece had short brown hair and wore a red flannel matching with Alley. Eddie couldn't tell if it was intentional or not, but nonetheless, they were nice girls and welcomed him with open arms.

Once lunch was over, Alley and Eddie were walking side by side in the hallway on their way to English when Alley unexpectedly grabbed Eddie by the hand and pulled him off into a side hallway. She put her finger to her lips in an attempt to get him to stay quiet. The boy watched as a group of guys walked through the halls, there were four of them, and it didn't look like Alley was the only one who tried to stay out of their way.

So Eddie stayed quiet, and spoke once they were out of earshot, "Who was that?".

"That's Henry Bowers and his goons" She groaned, "Sorry about that. Henry and my brother have some weird beef, so now he has it out for me too or whatever" Alley rolled her eyes. Then motioned for Eddie to continue following her through the halls.

"That sucks" Eddie looked over at the worried look that Alley wore.

"Hmm, yeah. Just don't get on his bad side, please" Alley advised before she turned towards the door to their English class.

The atmosphere shifted when they stepped inside the classroom. From a tense and steady hallway to a laughter filled classroom. Somebody had obviously told a joke or something because most of the kids were laughing if not giggling/smirking.

Eddie's eyes fell on the boy who was laughing the loudest. His smile lit up the entire room, his laugh was loud but true, real, and heartwarming. The edges of Eddie's lips threatened to make his smile bigger than it already was, but he resisted the urge to laugh along with them. Instead he followed Alley to a couple of open seats near the window. He took the seat behind her and got his binders out and placed them neatly on his desk.

The laughter in the room slowly began to die down. Eddie glanced over at the laughing boy, still giggling and poking at his bigger friend, but looked away soon after and focused on the notebooks in front of him. Eddie glanced again when he fully stopped laughing, even though he wasn't laughing, his face still glowed. Even if he wasn't smiling he still gave off that positive energy that caused Eddie to smile down at his notes. 

Richie noticed Eddie as well. He was a little busy laughing his ass off at his own joke to go introduce himself when the new boy first entered the classroom, and he'd been sitting down for a little while now. Richie came to the conclusion that it'd be weird if he did go now. So he opted to keep the conversation up with his friends, and just keep an eye on the new kid. He'd caught the new kid doing the same, which caused him to smirk to himself.

"Okay okay, guys if I laugh anymore I'm gonna piss myself" Richie giggled.

"Why do you insist on calling it piss? Please just say pee" Stan rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Urination Station?" Ben suggested with raised eyebrows. Surprisingly, Stan actually cracked up at the suggestion.

The ones who sat around Richie were Ben Hanscom and Stanley Uris.

Ben Hanscom is a bigger kid, that goes for his heart as well. That kid is caring and thoughtful as hell. Then there's Stan The Man Uris, he's a Jew, which basically means he killed Jesus. Kidding. (He made that joke in the book, don't @ me) but seriously, Stan is one of the real ones. He's my ride or die.

Their little laugh session was cut short when their English teacher, Mr Brock, walked into the room. He was fairly tall and well built, he had dark brown hair and bright blue eyes, which matched his blue button up. "Hello ladies and gentlemen. Today we're gonna be starting 1984, by George Orwell. But before that, we do have a new student. Eddie? Do you mind standing?".

Eddie nodded, quietly stood up and gave the class a quick wave, “Hello".

"Guys, this is Eddie Kaspbrak. Make him feel at home, alright? Eddie, welcome to my English class" he smiled over at his student, Eddie quickly sat back down, his cheeks a little bit darker than before.

The class went fairly well, aside from the time when Mr Brock requested for Eddie to read a passage from 1984 out loud, and he stumbled over literally every third word. It was mildly embarrassing but he got over it quickly.

The rest of the day was good! Since the school is already 2 months into the second semester I have a stack of homework to catch up on. That's okay though! At least now I have my own thing to keep me busy. After English, I had history, which was for sure a challenge since the things we learn back home about human history is very different from what humans teach... 

Overall my day was going pretty well! Then it took a turn...

The final bell had rung, Eddie and Alley grabbed their bags from their lockers and began to make their way out of the school. Eddie vaguely explained where he lived, without giving too much detail since he knew she wouldn't know where his house was anyway since it was, ya know, invisible to everyone except him. On the plus side, they walked the same way home! Yes Alley's house was only 2 minutes from the school and they'd split off pretty quickly but it was nice to know he didn't have to walk the entire way alone. She even showed him how to go through the back gate of the school, so they'd miss all of the foot traffic at the front of the school.

The two friends were walking behind the school, no one else in sight, as all of the students fled the school as soon as possible. They turned the corner to walk towards the back gate and spotted Henry Bowers and his goons, they leaned up against the school's exterior wall. Henry had a mullet and a raggy tank top on, and he was with a kid with bleach blonde hair who looked like he was going to join the army, and a bigger guy with a baseball cap who stood beside the tallest of the four, he was lanky with black shaggy hair. Eddie's stomach turned as he thought about what would happen if they started something...

Just as the two were about to peacefully walk past the four boys, Henry stepped in front of them. He glared at Alley, "Red, better tell your fucking brother to get me my damn money or else-".

"You'll eat him alive?" She finished, "Yeah I know". Alley hadn't stopped walking, neither had Eddie. But just as they were about to walk around Henry, he stuck his foot out. Alley fell face-first to the pavement.

"Don't talk back to me, bitch" Henry leaned down and growled at her.

The Ancestor's eyes were as wide as saucers as he stepped in, "Hey come on we don't wanna start anything" Eddie pleaded.

"Was I talking to you? Fucking fairy. Jesus, this town just keeps getting more fucked with all of these fags-", Eddie didn't think, he just... Punched Henry. Right in the face. The bully stumbled backwards, suddenly all of his goons were up and behind him as if they were awaiting a command to attack. The tall lanky one grabbed Henry's shoulder before he fell. Henry shook his hand off before he returned his attention to Eddie and Alley, who was now back on her feet.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that fags could be tough asses" He snarled and glanced at the guys behind him, "looks like we better show these bastards whos the boss around here". 

Henry took a step forward, pulled his fist back and was just about to throw a punch at Eddie, when a rock hit him in the back of the head. If he wasn't mad before, not Henry looked pissed. "What the fu-" He turned and roared at whoever was behind him when another rock hit his stomach. He gripped the area that was hit as pain exploded in his stomach.

"I don't think you wanna do that" A voice called out. Eddie's eyes snapped up to whoever was talking. His gaze was greeted by the beanie boy from English, the one who was manically coughing under the bleachers.

Henry was about to command the attack, go full-on and beat the living shit out of the boy, but something caught his eye. A cop car was parked at the edge of the school's property. Henry knew his father was watching, he had to stand down, or else he'd risk a much harder beating from his own father.

"Scatter, regroup tomorrow" Henry commanded instead, defeat tinted his voice. Patrik, Victor and Belch hesitated only for a moment before doing as their leader said, and they left. But Henry waited for a minute or two with an emotionless face.

"Go" Eddie gave his own demand to Alley, she nodded, as she didn't need any more scrapes and bruises. So she left.

Henry glanced at the cop car and noticed that his father wasn't looking at them, so he took his chance. Richie was curious about what Henry kept glancing at, he tilted his head momentarily to look behind him. He didn't notice Henry pick up one of the rocks he'd been hit with, nor did he notice him pull back in preparation to throw it.

Eddie's heart stopped when he watched Henry pelt the boy, in the head with the rock. Then everything stopped altogether when he fell to the ground on impact.

"Suck on that" Henry smirked before he bolted, worried that his father had seen him.

The Ancestor stood there in shock, unsure of what to do. The boy was still on the ground when Eddie rushed to his side.

"Holy shit a-are you okay?" His words were rushed, kinda like his thoughts. Eddie rapidly began to scan the boy who laid before him. He wasn't responding, which was bad, but Eddie could see his chest rise and fall as he breathed, which was good. "Please, please wake up" He begged as he examined the damage that Henry had done. He had to try to focus on the mission at hand, helping his classmate, he had to ignore his sharp jawline and his cute black curls- not now Eddie, jesus, not now-

He was hit just above his eyebrow, close to his hairline. The rock left cuts and scratches on the poor boy's pretty face. He had been wearing glasses, but Eddie was more focused on the blood coming from the boy's head. Eddie also noticed that the boy's beanie still remained on his head. He hesitated, not wanting to take the hat off, but he needed to get a clear view of the scrap. So before he could think about it anymore, he winced and slid the beanie off the boy's head.

"Shit" Eddie gasped at what laid before him. His ears weren't normal, they weren't human. Perched on top of his head, hidden deep within the forest of curls, were a pair of wolf ears. They were covered in black fur, similar to his hair, and they were pointed, like wolf ears.

Okay Eddie, calm down. He has wolf ears, is he a hybrid? a werewolf?

The questions began to eat away at him.

STOP IT! Okay, you need to focus. He's hurt, focus on that. Ask questions later. Freak out later.

Eddie looked away, took a deep breath then moved his hands to hover over the scraped area. He pushed his worries down and began to put all of his focus into the damage done to this cute boy's forehead.

Magic was common amongst Ancestors, it came easier to some, while others didn’t have any at all. Eddie was lucky, he had a good grasp over his abilities. He had a small range of powers but he mainly used his abilities to heal.  So that’s what he did. The bunny moved his hands to hover over the wound and he watched as little white wisps of magic began to seep from his palms.

Change of Heart (Eddie Brock x Reader)

Prompt: He never asked to be an assassin, and as he stands in a bedroom looking over two sleeping toddlers, he regrets his profession more than ever.

Pairing: Eddie Brock x Reader

Fandom: Marvel, Venom

Warning: Language, Mention of violence

He never asked to be an assassin, and as he stands in a bedroom looking over two sleeping toddlers, he regrets his profession more than ever.

He was trapped. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. He has never been commissioned to kill kids before. Women and children. That’s where they agreed. Women and children were never on the list, but tonight? Tonight it was going to change it all. These kids were mutants. A danger to the future of the world. Their powers were too dangerous to keep alive.

Let me do it, Eddster.

Eddie shook his head as he raised his hand. He had to be the one to do it.

It’s my fault, Eddster. They know you’re a monster because of me.

Eddie’s hand shook as he continued to debate about what the hell was he doing.

“I can’t do this,” Eddie whispered.

Then let me do it.

“No, I mean we can’t do this, V. They are innocent children,” Eddie snarled in a low tone.

They are too powerful for their own good.

“Out of us, you should understand how wrong that is. I should be killed because of the power you give me,” Eddie shot back.

So then what do you suggest we do, Eddster?

“I can’t kill them,” Eddie admitted.

They’re going to know if we back out.

Eddie let out a sigh.

They will only send another assassin. One that won’t care about them being children.

Soft footsteps could be heard outside of the door. Eddie quickly staggered backward and into the dark shadows of the corner of the room. Just as the bedroom door swung open. Eddie’s heart dropped to the pit of his stomach. He knew her.

Eddster you’re not breathing.

Eddie let out the breath he was holding slowly.

That’s their mom. Why does she look familiar?

That’s Y/n

Your high school sweetheart?

I have an idea.

Eddie, I know you’re desperate, but don’t.

I can have her again and save the kids.

Think about this, Eddster.

Eddie was passed the point of thinking about this. Eddie stepped out of the shadows, his footstep creaking the floor. She froze before quickly whipping around. Her eyes grew wide.

“Eddie?” She whispered.

Eddie said nothing.

“Eddie,” She said again waiting for him to reply.

Instead, he retreated back and let Venom out. As the black ink slipped over his body he saw the look of fear cross her face. Before she could even react and wake her children, Venom acted quickly.

Her screams filled the night air as Venom made quick work.

Eddie sat at his desk pouring over paperwork and documents. Venom had been eerily quiet for the past few hours. Eddie only looked up from his work when he heard the door to his bedroom creak open.

There she stood in all her beautiful glory. Her hair was tousled and his shirt hung off her body. She quickly crossed her arms and settled a hard glare his way.

“What’s going on Eddie?” She asked.

Eddie sighed as he pushed away from his desk turning in his chair to face her.

“I panicked,” Eddie admitted.

Y/n was confused.

“Why? What the hell is going on?” She demanded to know.

“I’m sure you’ve the heard rumors about me,” Eddie said.

Y/n’s arms dropped down next to her.

“I’ve heard the murmurs,” Y/n admitted.

“They took advantage of me, Y/n. They turned me into a monster. I’m an assassin,” Eddie said.

“Why,” Y/n choked, “why were you at my home?”

“There are some powerful people out there that want your children dead,” Eddie said blatantly.

Y/n held back the tears.

“My twins, they are harmless,” Y/n said.

“They’re listed as mutants. Powerful mutants,” Eddie said.

Y/n fiercely shook her head. “No, honestly, Eddie, they’re just normal little kids,”

“Are you absolutely positive there is nothing off about them?” Eddie asked her.

She nodded. Eddie was confused. Y/n took a few steps closer to him before stopping in her tracks.

“Can I ask who put the hit on them?” Y/n asked cautiously.

Eddie turned back away from her and shuffled through his paperwork.

“I can’t read the signature. E something. E Nygma, I think, something along those lines,” Eddie said.

When he returned his attention back up to Y/n she had paled. Eddie shot to his feet and hurried over to her.

“Do you know who that is?” Eddie asked.

“Edward Nygma,” Y/n breathed out.

“Why is that name so familiar to me?” Eddie asked.

“He’s more famously known as the Riddler,” Y/n said quietly.

Eddie looked down at her.

“Why would the Riddler want your kids dead?” Eddie asked.

Y/n gulped and then looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

“Because he’s the father,” Y/n whispered.

Eddie said nothing instead he grabbed her and pulled her in for a tight hug.

“I didn't know about the Riddler. I didn't know that he was a psychopath. I fell for his charm and like an idiot, I wasn’t careful,” Y/n said.

“What happened to make him want to go after his kids?” Eddie asked.

“After I told him that I was pregnant he blamed me. Said I did it on purpose,” Y/n said.

Eddie sucked in a breath out of pure anger.

“He wanted to me to abort and I wouldn’t. Then he tried going behind my back to give them up to an adoption agency, but that didn't work for him,” Y/n explained.

“Is that why it seemed like you fell off the side of the earth?” Eddie asked.

Y/n nodded. “I moved home for the first two years, my dads helped, and then when we hadn’t heard from Edward anymore I moved out with the twins,”

“Why didn't you ever reach out to me?” Eddie asked her.

Y/n gave him a confused look. “We grew apart Eddie. You’re not always going to be there for me,”

“Fuck that,” Eddie snapped.

“Eddie,” Y/n sighed.

Eddie pushed away from her and stormed away over to his desk. She watched him with cautious eyes. He flipped through more paperwork and then pulled out a file folder. Storming back over to her he shoved the folder into her hands. Y/n looked at him in confusion but he urged her to open it.

Tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, Y/n opened the file and started to flip through it. What she realized very quickly was that Eddie had put together new identities, passports, licenses, and birth certificates. She looked up at Eddie.

“What is all of this?” Y/n asked him.

“I have a lot to get off my chest,” Eddie said as he pounded it a few times.

Y/n stood there waiting for him to continue.

“I never should have let you go all those years ago,” Eddie began.

“Eddie, we were too young,” Y/n began, but he cut her off.

“You were, no, you are the love of my life, Y/n,” Eddie said.

Y/n’s heart skipped a beat.

“And I can’t go back in time to change any of our past. I know that part of me scares you, but I need you to know that I still fucking love you,” Eddie said.

Slowly Y/n nodded.

“And I’ve been wanting a fresh start, you know? Start over, but I never thought in a million years I would get that opportunity,” Eddie said.

Y/n took a step backward as Eddie began closing the distance between them. Once her back hit the wall she let out a small sudden gasp.

“But with you, I can get that,” Eddie said.

“Eddie, I’m not that girl from high school. I’m a mother, I have scars and battle wounds,” Y/n said.

“And I don’t?” Eddie shot back.

Y/n gulped.

“What do you want from me? What is this file supposed to do for us?” Y/n asked.

“Run away with me. Let me love you the way you were meant to be loved and let me be a father to your kids,” Eddie said.

Y/n felt faint.

“This is too much,” She finally breathed out.

“You’re saying over these years you fell out of love with me? That you never dreamed and hoped that I would come back and save you?” Eddie asked.

“Eddie, I can’t dream like that anymore. I have kids and an ex that wants them dead,” Y/n said.

“Venom and I can keep them safe. Keep you safe,” Eddie urged.

“They’re a handful,” Y/n said.

“Are you trying to talk me or yourself out of this?” Eddie demanded to know.

“What’s your plan?” Y/n asked him.

“We leave. Tonight. We get in a car and we just drive and then we can leave the country. We can go anywhere in the world. Wherever will make you feel the safest,” Eddie said.

Y/n bit her bottom lip as he mulled it over.

Eddie boxed her in against the wall with his arms.

“Please, let me back in,” He pleaded with her.

Surprising them both, Y/n lunged forward and caught Eddie’s mouth with hers. A deep guttural growl escaped him. Eddie picked Y/n up and slammed her against the wall.

“I never ever stopped loving you,” She admitted.

“Then run away with me,” Eddie said.

Y/n nodded.

Eddie set her back down. “Go get the kids, I’ll get the rest,”

Y/n slipped out of his grip and back into the bedroom.

Are you sure this will work, Eddster?

“I’m good at disappearing,” Eddie said.

Then I will do whatever I can to keep them safe.

“Thank you Venom,” Eddie said.

Opening the closet he pulled out the bags he had packed while Y/n and the kids slept. He had dropped them both on the floor when Y/n came back out with both of the boys in her arms.

“Let me carry one,” Eddie said.

Y/n handed one of them over to Eddie. She watched as in his sleep he wrapped his arms around Eddie’s neck. Eddie leaned down and grabbed the bags.

“Do you still have the file?” Eddie asked.

Y/n bent down and picked it up from the floor. “Got it,”

“Good, now let’s get out of here before you change your mind,” Eddie said.

Y/n gave him a look. “I would never,”

Eddie dipped down to shush her with a kiss. “I was teasing,” Eddie said.

The couple slipped out into the dark sky. The sun would be rising soon. Y/n and Eddie put the twins in the back seat and buckled them in. As Y/n made sure they were tucked in, Eddie through the bags into the trunk. The couple climbed into the seats up front. Y/n clung to the file.

“Where to?” Eddie asked.

“Anywhere?” She asked.

“Anywhere you want to go,” Eddie said

Y/n gave him a small smile. 

“What are you thinking?” He asked.

“Ireland?” She whispered.

Eddie grinned. “Ireland it is,”

Taking her hand in his, Eddie pulled away from the curb and headed onto the road and towards their future together.

1, 8, 18, and/or 27 for Sunny Lodge prompts?? (Sorry, I had a bit of a hard time choosing just one. 😅 Feel free to only do what you’re comfortable with.)

It’s no problem. You chose almost the perfect combination~! Some of those prompts were more like “imagine” type prompts while others are a quite a bit longer. So I can make all of it flow well. It will be #27: Scholar, #8 Books, #1: Fire, #18 Flowers all mixed in within that general order. I hope you like it~!

The small village of Alverton really didn’t have much in the form of entertainment. Eddie let his fingers skim the spines of the books within the local library. He counted himself lucky to even have this if he were to be honest with himself. He stood back for a second to look at the entire shelf at once. This was the problem with living in such a small village.  He had read most of the books here while he was still in New York. He sighed. Eddie felt a slight nudge in his back. He let out a pained breath. He turned to see a soft looking man in glasses. His dark hair was already graying. Eddie looked at him more carefully. Maybe it was all just dust. The wool suit the man was wearing looked caked in it. 

“I-I-I’m sorry,” The man stumbled. He knelt down to grab some of the books he dropped then looked up. He adjusted his glasses as he stood up. The man looked over Eddie and exclaimed, “Oh, excuse me sir. I don’t think we’ve met.” He placed his books on a table not too far away. He walked back with an extended hand in which Eddie took and shook. “My name is Bruce,” The man greeted him, “Bruce Banner.” He chuckled.

Eddie laughed and said, “The name is Edward Brock. Everyone calls me Eddie though.” He smiled and said, “It is very nice to meet you.”

Bruce’s eyes widened, “Oh, you are Eddie Brock.” He scrambled to his table and back with a letter in hand, “You are our lovely teacher’s Eddie Brock and the young Peter Parker’s Eddie Brock.” He looked up at him with a very wide smile.

Eddie blushed and opened his mouth to speak.

“Oh dear, did I overexcite and get ahead of myself,” Bruce asked becoming downtrodden.

Eddie shook his head. “Oh no,” Eddie snickered through his embarrassment, “I guess I just have never heard it put in that way.” He smiled to comfort his new companion, “It is an awfully delighting thing to hear. It makes this new place of residency feel a bit more like a home.”

Bruce’s eyes brightened once more, “Oh that is splendid to hear. I know my darling friend would enjoy hearing that being uttered from your lips. Her words simply drip with admiration for you.”

Eddie felt his heart on fire. He felt everything burning. As much as he loved to hear that his dearly beloved talked so well of him, he felt uneasy about this man. “Oh, and what is your relation-”

“Oh,” Bruce exclaimed again, “I am sorry. I must have troubled you. My friend could only have interested me if her name was Alvin instead.” He chuckled.

Eddie’s eyes widened as he nodded in understanding, “Oh.” He let the information process for a second before letting his body relax. He had not even released his tension before then. He ran his hand through his hair and smiled, “Well thank you for explaining to me.”

After a bit, Bruce and Eddie walked through the bookcases talking. They were laughing and smiling until Bruce put his arm out in front of his new friend and pulled the both of them a little bit back. Eddie blinked and tilted his head at his new confidant. Bruce held a finger to his lips and nodded around the corner. He motioned to the body sitting at the fire.

This weekend was quiet for you. Peter had decided to go visit the girl he loved instead of you today. Feeling lonely, you decided to get up and walk yourself to the library. When you got there though, you were surprised not to see your old friend there. You figured maybe Bruce had gone to the city to gather more books that may have been released since his last visit. You took this time to walk and study the books. You sat yourself down with a copy of Sense and Sensibility next to the fire.

Bruce smiled at Eddie and nudged him forward to motion to go talk to you. He winked and turned to pretend to get an inventory of what the library had so that he was out of the two lovebird’s way.

Eddie cleared his throat as he walked over to you. He smiled as you looked up at him. Your soft face made his world feel full. Your eyes entrapped his. Eddie laughed letting his eyes close. He shook his head and took this momentary chance of freedom to glance at what you were reading. He sat next to you and asked, “So what are you reading?”

You smiled up at the man, “Oh hello Eddie. I didn’t know you were here.” You placed a bookmark within the pages of the beloved novel to talk to the man who held your soul. You turned to face him better, “I am just reading the novel Sense and Sensibility.” You explained to him with a small smile.

Eddie smiled and asked, “Oh, you like romance novels?” He teased with a laugh.

“Well I am not having any for myself, so I must read and imagine it for myself,” you equally teased back.

Eddie fain hurt and held a hand to his heart. “Oh, you must be making jest,” Eddie laughed.

You laughed with him as the fire crackled in the background.

That night, a fire roared as it consumed a house not too far from where the Parker’s once lived. The entire community had gathered to help, but sadly it seemed in vain. When Eddie and Peter got there, they both tried to help with the fire line.

Peter turned to Eddie went a young girl came out. “I’m going-”

Eddie nodded knowing what Peter was talking about and said, “Please hurry back.”

You held your arms to the redheaded girl and encapsulated her into your arms. “Oh Jean, are you alright,” You asked as you rubbed her arms.

Jean pulled away with tears in her eyes, “No ma’am... My family is still in there. They haven’t come out yet.” Peter had heard this as he was walking up. He turned and ran inside the opened door in which Jean had came from. He closed the door behind him. You screamed as you watched Peter run inside. You felt yourself start to cry as you tried to fight some of the other women to run after him.

Eddie turned when he heard your cry of despair. He dropped everything and ran to your side. “What is it,” He asked you cradling you within his arms, “What’s wrong?”

“He-He..” You cried. You pointed inside where Eddie could see a shadow running amongst the flames, “Pe-Pe-Peter ran inside.” You clung to him and cried.

Eddie stiffened up. He turned watching the boy. He gently handed you off to Bruce who had also rushed to your side. He pat your head and whispered, “I’m going to get him.” He nodded a confirmation to Bruce and ran inside.

Black smoke surround Peter. There was so much of it. He coughed and sputtered as he tried to call for Jean’s parents. He eventually fell to the floor. As he looked up, he saw a large fully black creature lifting him and placing him on its back. Peter, then, lost consciousness again.

Eddie had ran around back of the house. He took in a deep breath and sighed. He called to the dark entity that also resides in his body. “Venom,” he whispered beneath his sigh.

Yes Edward, The voice dripped itself back into a more accessible part of the man’s mind.

“I need you,” Eddie answered.

Venom started his growth over the other man, I can see that. What will I get in return?

Eddie sighed and implored, “Please let’s talk about that later.”

The symbiote grew over his face. He chortled and ran into the fire to go and retrieve Eddie’s adopted son. When he grabbed hold of him, he placed the boy on his back and ran out. Eddie forced the dark passenger back off his body as he ran outside. He forced it off his front first letting it slither back into his back and into his spine.

You ran over to your two boys when they had emerged. You kissed their faces relieved that they had returned to you safely. Your tears cleaned the soot off the two’s faces.

It had been several months since that incident. You turned in your bed to see the lavender bundle next to your bed within a pitcher. You heard scurrying across the floor. You stretched and pulled yourself out of your bed. You walked out of your small bedroom. When you left it, you saw your new girl hurrying about. You laughed and asked, “Jean, what is going on?”

Jean froze and turned to look at her adopted mother. She flushed and stuttered, “Oh, well, I... I was just... I was just preparing...”

“Preparing for what,” You playfully inquired.

“Oh...Uh, Peter had invited the both of us out for a picnic,” She explained stuttering.

You smiled and asked, “Well why didn’t you wake me?” You walked back into your room and got ready to go to lunch. You listened to Jean hurrying to take some pastries out of the oven.

Peter and Jean walked together both holding a side of the wicker basket together. They chatted about school and gossiped about the other children around their age. You and Eddie followed together farther back. You both strolled past the Trilliums, Violets, Bellwort, Virginia Bluebells, and Spring Beauty. Everything was so beautiful. All the spring flowers warmed each of their spirits. The birds chirped a happy chorus as the small family walked together to find a spot among the field of flowers to eat their picnic in company with the hopping crickets and whatever other critters wished to join in. Eddie let the back his hand brush yours his index finger curled with yours for only a moment before going back to the “proper” type of public interaction.
