We knew it. [It's a rough, angry rasp, and one might hear the sound of something sharp being dragged against the walls.] We knew it was trap! He just couldn't settle for being wrong, could he? Couldn’t handle the fact that he needed us…

[One might note that the voice is... peculiarly double-edged, half human, and half, sibilant hiss.] Your little prisons have never stopped us before, Spider, and they won’t stop us now! How many innocents must fall at your hands this time?!

[They pause to gulp down a few, ragged breaths, pausing to grasp at their face. They feel disorientated, maybe a little sick. The Other, however, steadies them again, and they bare twisted fangs at the screen.] We’ll rip you limb from limb.

Yessss. Part man, part Spider. [Their claws drum against the floor after they pull their hand back, growling quietly to themselves.]

[the_infiltrator]

I don't understand that metaphor. Are people really dying?

[toomanyteeth]

Yes. He claims to protect them, but he is little more than a masked vigilante. Be wary of him, girl, if you have anyone you wish to protect.

[the_infiltrator]

Yes. I do. It's very important.

What is his name? How will I recognize him?

[toomanyteeth]

We won't tell you that. He's ours to kill. But he calls himself Spider-Man. He's masked, completely covered in red and blue spandex. You won't miss him.

[the_infiltrator]

'Ours'? Who are you?

[But Spider-Man the vigilante: currently on her To-Kill list.]

[toomanyteeth]

Why, we are Venom! [As though that's obvious.]

[the_infiltrator]

Are you a collective consciousness?

[toomanyteeth]

It's just us. The symbiote is long lived--incredibly so, so all of its memories are shared.

[the_infiltrator]

A symbiote. It's feeding off of you.

[toomanyteeth]

Did we say parasite? Don't be stupid!

[the_infiltrator]

Then it's mutually beneficial. What do you get?

[toomanyteeth]

Unimaginable power.

[the_infiltrator]

I can imagine a lot.

[toomanyteeth]

If we're still around, perhaps we'll show you later.

[the_infiltrator]

That would be very helpful.

[toomanyteeth]

We'll keep in touch, then! If we remember~ [Their laughter is loud and rancorous before the feed cuts.]
