A Dark Section of the Park, Saturday evening

Oh, what a day Venom had! Terrorizing baristas, fighting teenagers, eating a duck that had been in a particularly foul mood, and feeding off the delicious anger his host had been swimming in all day. This was a good day for him.

For now he was taking it easy, waiting camouflaged in the trees and waiting for someone to attack. It would be nice if the park were a busier place tonight, but he'd settle for one or two loners to menace. Maybe devour. Who knew? He had plenty of options and the night was young!

[OOC: Mainly for Kitty, but if anyone wants to be terrorized before that chronologically, go for it!]

Kitty was having the worst day. It wasn't even that anything bad had actually happened, but she'd run out of coffee today, and she hadn't been able to get any at the Perk because the clerk looked all shell-shocked and went into the back room before she could order, people were being stupid about returning emails on time, and she was even mad that she was mad.

She was trying to take a walk in the park to take some of the edge off. More accurately, she was taking a stomp in the park, and it wasn't working.

"Ooh, somebody looks angry!" Venom called out before dropping into sight. "We bet we could help with that. Feel free to switch to 'scared' any time!"

On a normal day, Kitty might have actually been a little scared at seeing him there, because a) he was scary, and b) she recognized him and oh dear god.

But today rivaled her very worst of bitchy days, and so she stayed stuck on mad.

"Are you kidding me?" she said, like this was just one more annoyance.

"We're not known for our sense of humor," Venom said. "You must be thinking of someone else."

She didn't seem scared. Or weirdly happy like the kid earlier. That could make things much more fun!

"Yeah, hi, guess who's not in the mood for banter today," Kitty said.

"In that case, let's get to it," Venom said. "We'll start with your liver and work our way up!"

He launched himself at Kitty and took a swipe at her side with his clawed fingers.

Kitty phased. So, you know. Good luck with that.

"It's like you don't even know who I am or something." And that was super annoying. Even though she didn't tell people who she was much.

"We know you're Kitty. But, ooh, are you a superhero?" Venom asked, slashing again just to keep her phasing while he taunted. "Let us guess... Young Avengers? Young X-Men? Young Power Pack? Are we getting warm?"

Ugh, great, that meant she probably knew him. Well that was just awesome.

"That's none of your business," she snapped, like she hadn't just been mad he didn't know. "And will you stop slashing at me? It's just rude."

"Sorry about that, where are our manners? No more slashing, we promise," Venom said. And then he kicked at her.

Kitty sighed, nice and put-upon, and then as soon as his leg passed through her, she unphased her own leg to try and kick him in the side.

That probably wouldn't do much but she kind of wanted to hit things.

"That tickled!" Venom said. "Try it again and we'll see what you've really got!"

This time she went for a direct punch to his stomach, and while she hit a lot harder than she looked...

Venom's stomach actually gave with the force of the punch, but only so the symbiote could grab at Kitty's fist and try to wrap it up. "Oops, looks like you're going to be stuck here for a while," Venom taunted.

Ewwww, this was gross. But all Kitty had to do was phase, and... wait, was that someone in there?

She pulled her hand free, backing away. "How'd that work for you?"

"Grrrrah!" Venom growled in frustration. "We'll find a way to make you solid and then we'll crack your skull open and find our reward for a job well done!"

"Yeah, you do that," Kitty said distractedly, backing up a couple more steps.

And then she ran right at him and jumped through him, hoping she was able to really find whoever was stuck in there.

Venom screeched in agony as his bond to Flash was severed by the phasing. As Flash hit the ground - wearing nothing but his boxers and that nice little black crystal on his stomach - Venom's form collapsed, turning into an blob with a vaguely humanoid shape.

The psychic whiplash of being pulled from the symbiote meant that it took Flash a moment to recover and process what was happening.

Kitty got to her feet fast, because she didn't know what was going to happen next, though she did look down to see who it was she'd just pulled out.

"Seriously?" she said.

Flash shook it off and watched the symbiote thrash less. It seemed to be calming down and looking around. "Crap. Kitty, you have to let me get the symbiote back right now while it's dazed."

"Then do it, god," she said, but even offered a hand to help him get up. "As long as that doesn't happen again."

Could she phase the symbiote into a tree...?

"It's okay, I've got this," Flash said, refusing her hand. Getting up would take a couple seconds he didn't have right now.

He reached out for the symbiote and said, "Come back here. I have it under control now. You don't have to run around angry right now, I'll take care of you."

The symbiote took one last look around. It gave Kitty a look as if to consider if she might be a more useful host. But no, it needed Flash right now. It was bonded to him. It stretched over to him and covered his body again, but now it just looked like shorts and a t-shirt.

And yet this was still not the weirdest thing she'd ever seen.

"That better be all," Kitty said, watching him warily.

"You can watch me while I go back to my apartment and take the symbiote sedative if you want," Flash said, getting back to his fake feet. "It won't be as exciting as the past... oh, god, it's night. It's had control the whole day."

"Fine, I'll do that," Kitty said, folding her arms. Great, and now she had to watch him take some sedative which she didn't actually had to do but whatever, okay. "How did that happen?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Flash asked, trying to keep his anger in check. "It used to be that if I got too angry, the symbiote could take over. But that hasn't been an issue ever since the Avengers came up with a new sedative for it."

He knew. It was fully bonded to him, which even Pym and McCoy didn't know. And the anger he felt today was so persistent, the regular dosage wasn't enough. He had to take more and then relax himself somehow.

But not too much, because then the demon might take control.

"Maybe try some yoga today, too," she deadpanned.

"I'll give it a shot," Flash said. "Hopefully it helps."
