VICTORIAS- POV
I should've not saved that damn girl from before, I should've not promised Venom he could eat those guys, and now here I am running away from a blue scary Spider-Man.
And I didn't want to stay any longer to know what he'd do to me.
I quickly turn away from him and begin to run to the front of a building feeling the wind rush through me as I pass vehicles trying to lose the hero from behind me, Venom's music playing loudly as I try to turn it off so we wouldn't be caught faster, after turning it off successfully I shoot a web at the train moving fast above us, feeling it pull us back and up into the sky as I look behind me seeing this world's Spider-Man claw his way towards us.
"What the fuck! Why is he built like that?" Venom yelled making a fake shriek after.
"Just keep moving he's getting closer" I begin to panic.
"What if we just jump off now?" he asked.
"If we jump off now he'll get to us faster."
"If we let go now he won't land in the same area as us, we can make a quick getaway, but on my count" Venom instructed as I sigh before nodding.
I look down seeing buildings pass below me, fast and honestly quite scary. I sometimes can't get used to the heights that Venom adored, but what choice do I have when I know someone has to have their freedom once in a while. Even though we were being chased I can tell how happy and excited he was, the adrenaline he felt, I felt, and that was terrifying to say the least.
"Relax chicken" he laughed as we turn behind us seeing the other person get closer "remember I ain't letting anything happen to you."
"You mean us" I mumbled.
"You" and before I knew it our body began falling, feeling a pit in my stomach as I see the Hero's eye mask widen at our sudden jump "I thought you were going to count!" I yelled.
"Oops" he chuckled as we get closer to the ground before he shoots a web swinging us from the opposite direction the train was taking us.
"I wanna vomit" I groan gagging lightly.
"Don't be such a baby, hold it in, just a bit farther" he instructed as we swing from building to building taking hard turns every now and then to make sure we lose them.
After just a few minutes Venom lands us on a rooftop as he reveals my face as I begin to throw up at the edge of the structure, feeling the tequila we drank earlier empty itself from within me.
"Ugh" Venom groaned "I sometimes forget how bad you are when alcohol is mixed with your anxiety."
I nod wiping my mouth clean as he soon covers my face again as I let out a sigh before looking down at the ground processing the sudden turn of events.
"Who even was that?" I lift my hands over my head freaking out lightly as I sigh rubbing my head "ugh I told you not to eat those guys."
"Well what did you want me to do?! Ever since we got her I haven't eaten!! And you also approved of it so it's your fault" Venom began to argue with me as I let out a huff as I begin to pace back and forth.

"Not only that, but we also aren't in the future, we're in a different universe?" I grumbled "I mean many assumed there were other worlds, but I wasn't one of them I mean other planet life? Yeah but not a whole fucking multiverse."
"That made me feel your skin get goosebumps" Venom wiggled lightly feeling my nerves.
Silence filled the air as our bodies freeze at the presence of another person besides us.
"Found you..." the voice boomed as I turn seeing the Man from before.
(Art work here)
"Shit" but before I could finish that word he jumped backwards aiming his wrist towards us as I leap back ready to jump off the roof.
"Don't make this harder than it should be" they warned.
"I'm not trying to fight" I admit raising my hand trying to come off as innocent as venom laughs within me.
"Say's the one that looks like la Llorona" their accent peaking lightly as my eyes widen lightly with the sudden Spanish he spoke.
"Oh no he didn't" Venom gasped "I look way better than that woman" his voiced beamed loudly as he shows off our sharp teeth in a threatening way.
(Art work here)
I look over at the large man in a dark navy-blue suit with a red spider on his chest as he looks at Venom and I, my heart began to beat quickly remembering Peter. It felt so weird and uncomfortable looking at someone that is supposed to be a person I know back at home, someone that wasn't this large or had an ounce of a Hispanic in him, nor did their air feel this overbearing to stand in, but even at how different these two people were I still felt that familiar feeling between the man in front of me and Peter back home.
"So, you're giving up" the man spoke noticing how still I became as I shake my head putting my arms in front of my face as I try to clear my mind from all the thoughts creeping in "you know that thing attached to you isn't helping, it's eating you very slowly to feed itself."
I take a small step back as the man takes another step closer "I'm not an idiot."
"So, you know this fact but still let it live within you?" he tilted his head as I narrow my eyes nodding in silence as he lets out a chuckle "seems like you are."
I didn't let his small comeback get to me.
I look around me trying to remember every little part of the rooftop.
Knowing I'm at a disadvantage.
We were in his dimension, and he knows it like the back of his hand, but I wasn't going to let that discourage me. I know how good I am when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, when my father was healthier he taught me what he learned when he was a young boxer back in Mexico. I was light on my feet due to dancing my entire life from ballet, which I hated, to joining a random group throughout elementary then quitting later on to be with my dad, then dancing by myself in my room and joining into an exotic dance group, which was in a way neo burlesque, when I turned 18. My body was a weapon itself and Venom added, only made it even more dangerous.
Suddenly a sharp sound rings out as I look at where it came seeing the man having some type of sharp objects on his wrists as he lets out a small gruff laugh "my worlds Venom has been defeated a while back, I already know your weakness, but I'm not sure how high the sound must be to make that Symbiote leave your body" his head looks up from his feet as he looks at my body up and down.
"Well, I guess they were just all weak!" Venom yelled as he made us take a step forward.
The man sighs "you are all the same, I'll tell you that, they couldn't just shut up when the adults were talking."
Venom growled ready to pounce as I hold us back "I barely talked" I say.
"Ah I guess that's correct."
"She doesn't need to talk to a pendejo like you" Venom laughed.
"Oo a never heard one of you speak anything besides broken English, I mean you are all quite stupid" he Instigated Venom as I sigh.
I knew what this man was trying to do, and I must admit it was smart, he knew the best way to communicate is through Venom, to get him agitated so he'll make a move and rule out our weaknesses from the very beginning, he knows I wasn't going to speak to give him anything, but I guess he has met many venoms and mines just the same as the others. "Let me at him" Venom spoke in my head as I shake my head.
"He's trying to get to you, don't let him, remember how I tell you the one thing about hand-to-hand combat is to never let the talk get to you... that's how we lost the other fights before, he's using the same tactic" I talk back to him as he grunts annoyed before mumbling a quick okay. I keep my eyes glued to the man as he twist his head assuming as him studying me, trying to see my next move as I hold back a smile. I had a good poker face, well in this moment, poker body?
And as the man took another step I moved one back knowing I still had more space to move "you know how desperately I wish you type of monsters would just stay in your dimensions and not move to others" he huffed out his voice getting more agitated with each second passing, I guess from not being able to read me. "How it'll be easy if none of you ever existed" he growled as I lick my lips feeling my long tongue glide against my sharp teeth.
"I could be careless about your hopes or wishes, what I do care is that you make the first move" I chuckled.
"So, you won't just give up now while it's easy?" he asked.
"I'd rather like my Spider-Man to capture me then a cheap knock off" I insult as I see his head jerk lightly.
"Yeah and where is he? Not doing his job from what I can see" this time I felt my heart jolt at his comment towards Peter.
I've said that before about him.
What was the purpose of calling him a hero when he killed the two people I loved with all my heart.
Time and time again.
But hearing it from someone else made me feel angry for him, for us. I'm supposed to hate Spider-Man, and I do, but not Peter, never Peter.
And as I stand there I recall all those memories where he would miss important moments, when he showed up with cuts and bruises constantly and how sometimes Sherlyn would come crying to me about how Peter was hurt again. I always thought he couldn't stand up for himself, but it was him standing up for our city all alone.
Yet I'm reminded of my fiancées death, and Sherlyn's.
And my brain got clouded all over again.
I don't know what to think, but in this moment I couldn't think back to our world or about Peter when I was in danger myself, he wouldn't want that.
"Last chance..." His hands on his thin waist as I shake my head.
I move my fist closer to my face taking a deep breath.
"You really think you'll stand a chance?" He looked at me before taking another step closer as I copy his movement, his mask slightly raises thinking he was surprised at my movement forward.
"I may surprise you" I say quietly Venom disguising my voice once again.
He scoffs shaking his head before looking back at me "a Monster never wins" I felt a smirk through his mask but what do I know "I will take you down just like the rest of the Venoms I've taken down, the one from my world and the other Spider-Men worlds."
"What if I wasn't as bad as you think I am? Maybe I became what I am for a reason, not all of us want to take over the world" I roll my eyes taking a step closer as he does too.
"So, what exactly do you want? I mean eating your own kind isn't exactly a good person, what's so different about you that I shouldn't capture you or kill you this instant?"
"Nothing, but I am not a Monster" I keep my eyes on him as his mask squints at me.
"I say what you are-," but before he can finish his sentence I swing my fist to his face as he falls back on the ground due to my force holding onto his jaw before looking up at me.
"And I say we should start this so I can end it" I smirk as he jumps back on his feet.
"Guess you don't like small talk?" I watch him as he shoots his web at me as I dodge it quickly.
"Loathe it" I growl before I jump on his shoulders catching him within my thighs before throwing us on the floor as I use my long sharp nails scratching at his chest.
I see his hand raise with claw like fingers as he digs them deep into my thigh as I let out a gruff from within my throat at the sudden sting, unwrapping my thighs from his neck stepping back "two can play at that game" he looks down at his hand seeing blood before his head looked up at us again "was wonder if the symbiote has gotten into you, but nah your blood is still red, guess that makes you normal Llorona."
I narrow my eyes at him running towards him before sliding down on the ground between his large tall legs when he suddenly grabs my hair pulling me back from where I slid raising my body up before I launch a large jab to the right side of his waist hearing a crack as I smile happily. I landed a large blow.
He lets go of my hair as I quickly run off the building jumping until I feel something on my back as I notice he just shot a web on me as I turn around slamming myself on the building wall as he is now on the edge of the building pulling us up as I use my nails to cut off his webs feeling myself falling from the tall structure as I shoot two webs on the wall as I catch myself before pulling on them catapulting myself back to the roof as the man quickly grabs me by my throat before throwing me to the ground smashing a fist to my face as I try to find an opening between the punches he threw at me.
And with each turn my eyes make so did my head, trying desperately to find a way out as he held my legs down with his body and my arms trying so hard to block his advances.
And as soon as I turn my head I was met with his eye mask as he tries to prevent me to look anywhere but at him, at his fist seeing his red knuckles again and again.
Then within that second I realize... he didn't want me to look at anything put his eyes.
It was a way to make me feel small, something my mother did when she tried to make me weak against her. When parents try to intimidate their children to do what they want, but I knew a way to get out of this and even if it could not work and it was childish and honestly... god not a good plan at all. I had to try it.
"Oh my god is that another villain?!", ah yes the distraction, I yell using one of my hands pointing to a random direction as the man turns with my pointed finger as I almost let out a laugh and quickly landing an uppercut causing him to get off my body as I jump up looking for a way to find another game plan to get this man off my tail. And mid-way through my leaps I felt a jab at the bottom of my ankle as the world seems to go slow as the rooftop gets closer to my face.
"Gotcha" he gruffs as I realize what this knock off did.
"You're kidding..." quickly I turn my body feeling contact as my back hits the floor as I quickly scrimmage to not get captured again.
I turn around looking at the air conditioning on the roof top as it began to rain all over again, the air became cool as the large man stood at the edge of the building like how we started but both of us breathing heavy feeling winded. Quickly however he ran towards me as I take a step to the left as I see him go in my direction of my foot as I smile as I quickly change the course of my run to the right jumping in the air before shooting a web in my hand as it stretches as I throw it around Miguel's throat as he turns to me and looking down at his throat as his eyes widen before trying to get his hands underneath. I smile knowing he was late as my feet land on the ground as pull my arms back seeing him fall on the ground with my web still wrapped around his throat as I quickly run towards him wrapping his hands together before shooting more web fluid around it before tying it around his large calves and legs doubling it again.
"You know I'll break out within minutes!" He growled as I stand up above him dusting my hands.
"Minutes that I can run away from you" I sigh.
"Scared?" he asked as I roll my eyes.
"No."
"Seems like it-."
Venom covers his face with our web fluid before letting out a loud laugh at the scene in front of us as I sigh.
"Move out" I mumbled as I turn my back on the large man grunting and fidgeting on the ground before letting out as small giggle and jumping onto another building and onto another before we get on a train leading us to god knows where next.

MIGUEL'S- POV
"Lyla check security cameras find them, NOW!" I yelled as I try to cut the web off my body as heard their footsteps runs off the building a few minutes ago.
"You have to get back to headquarters" Lyla spoke from my head piece as I groan in annoyance.
"I can't do that. Didn't you see what happened?" I grumbled finally hearing a snap as I wiggle my hands out the web fluid.
"Yeah how you totally fell for such nonsense" she began to laugh as I roll my eyes and peeled off the fluid from my mask as I cut the webbing at my feet and some on my thighs "I mean who falls for that? Oh, wait you did!" She laughed loudly showing up in front of me her small yellow hologram holding onto her stomach as she wipes her eyes.
I couldn't argue with her.
I was an idiot.
I guess I was already getting aggravated every time they turned their heads to look at something, for some reason it angered me, and they caught me off guard. I believed due to the constant movement of their eyes I tried for them to focus on me and only me so they wouldn't escape but it seemed like they knew exactly what they were doing.
I throw the web in my hands hearing the splat as it hit the ground "I don't need to hear it. Especially from you" I grumble.
"Well, you need to hear it from someone, and" her small body turns to look around her hand over her head mimicking a sailor that is out in sea "no one else is here besides me" she let out a laugh.
I roll my eyes once again before placing my hands on my waist letting out a sigh "Any way's... why exactly do I have to head back, as you can see I'm busy" I mumbled.
"I can't pull up her records, I can't find anything, it's like her or her world don't exist" Lyla paced in front of me as I look at her confused.
"That's impossible, we have every Spider-Man's world, did you see how she got here by chance?" I asked as I look at the direction Venom went before glancing back towards where my headquarters was, and huff annoyed at the situation unfolding as I turn around heading back "have another Spiderman look for them they're too dangerous to be walking around the city."
"I'll call on Spider Noir since he's the one that reported a suspicious person 30 minutes prior" she skipped beside me.
"And you didn't bother to tell me?" I stop walking before turning to Lyla as she stops looking at me before letting out a laugh.
"Well, I mean Venom was more of problem-."
I glare at her and roll my eyes not pushing it.
"Look Spider Noir assumed but didn't want to make a mistake, I went to look at the club video feed and only saw a glimpse of them" Lyla stops mid-way through sentence and lets out a small laugh "but of course her back was faced towards the cameras, and she sneaked out the club like nothing and stole Noirs wallet with his cash."
"He let himself get robbed... I swear sometimes... you know what forget it I might have to do everything myself."
"I can help Noir track Venom down, while you can find where she snuck in, also Spider-Woman just asked if she could speak with you."
"Anyways are you sure it's alright to let Spider Noir take this?" I ask.
"I mean what's the problem, he knows what she looks like-," I cut Lyla off with a soft sigh.
"You know how he gets with those villains; I mean with how his uncle died... I'm not sure this is alright for him to handle" I look at Lyla as she crosses her arms over her chest letting out a soft sigh.
"Scientifically speaking those two are completely different, Venom isn't a human so eating you guys doesn't make him a cannibal in that sense, but then again he does eat his own symbiotes" she looked at me as I stare down at the city.
"But she is a human..." I sigh and looked at Lyla "look... just let him take over until I can get back on this whole thing" I begin heading back to the society my eyes wandering below me "have Noir in front of me as soon as I return I want to know how the host looks so I can have my eyes peeled on the surveillance."
"I already sent Noir to look for venom so that won't be ideal" Lyla says through my earphone as I roll my eyes.
"Mierda" I mumbled under my breath "I don't care if he isn't there then, just ask him I'm not going in this completely blind, they aren't as sensitive to sound like the others and we don't know what wavelength can get Venom out of the host" I can feel a vein in my neck throb lightly at my frustrating situation.
I finally arrive as I walk into my room as shoot a web and swing up to my desk as Lyla stands there sitting down, her pink heart-shaped sunglasses tilted as she looks at me.
"You don't have to stress so much you know" she rolled her eyes "I mean it's probably a malfunction in the system."
"You are the system."
"Oo yeah... but either way we can just figure it along the way" she let out a psh sound from her mouth as she waves her hand in a nonchalant motion "it won't be hard; Spider Noir is already on the case and while you speak with Spider Woman I can try to find the clearest videos or shots of Venom in the club."
"And I will stress, por que no necesito todo el multiverso que se... termina..." I look at the screens as Lyla pulls up the surveillance video of the club as let out a small huff when I hear footsteps at the bottom of my levitating floor as I turn to see Spider Woman looking up at me before letting out a sigh.
"Heard a Venom snuck into your dimension, I won't take up your time, but we got word from Web Slinger, he has a problem and asked for assistance" she shrugged her shoulders as I sigh annoyed before taking my attention off the screen and look up at the ceiling "or is this a bad time? I mean I heard Noir was on run for the Venom here."
"Yeah, yeah, it's a horrible time, fuck" I grumble and wait as my floor floats down "I guess I'll put this off, Lyla" I call as she shows up in front of me smiling "get me the clearest image of them when I'm back, figure out the problem in your system" I look down at my left foot tapping it impatiently.
"No" she tilted her head at me as I look up at her annoyed "say please."
"Dios Mio, for an AI that should follow what I say you don't really do what you were programmed for" I rub the temples of my head.
"You have to understand you won't get anywhere with that attitude and not saying please."
I roll my eyes as I glance at Spider Woman as she shrugs agreeing with Lyla as I turn to the small hologram woman in front of me as I mumble under my breath "please."
"Wow see how easy that is" she clapped before disappearing "just go save the multiverse I'll be here."
I step down on the ground letting my mask cover my face as I walk beside Drew as she turns to me "long day?" she asked as I tilt my head to her my eyes squinting at her.
"You have no idea."
_____ (Writer)
Okay so it came to my attention that someone has thought that I am a white woman writing about Hispanics in this fanfic and I would like to clarify that I'm Hispanic.
I live near the border in south Texas, I was born here in America, but I was raised in Mexico Monterrey with my mom's family. My first language was Spanish.
My abuelita (I actually call her Wella, I know that's not how you spell grandma but wtv) raised me when my mom went to work, and she only speaks Spanish and never bothered to learn English which shouldn't matter because she loves her language. Here where I live we speak a lot of Spanglish especially in my household.
When I started off in my elementary they forced me to learn English, so I lost my way of speaking Spanish, but as I grew older I learned my way back, but in the eyes of everyone I'm a no sabo kid lmao. I know how to speak Spanish, a little broken because of what happened to me, but y'all can put Teresa on or any fucking Novela and I know what they are saying, for christ sake I lived with my mom putting on bandas and sleeping on chairs at quinces, I HAD A QUINCE! You know what sucks about writing, is that I actually have to prove to people that I'm Hispanic.
That I even have to write this and explain where I'm from and how I lived.
I know how to speak (not the best but you will understand me, I get nervous and stutter, in both languages, and I know how to roll my r's) I know how to hear, I know how to write in Spanish. If I feel like I'm having trouble with a word I go to my momma or my best friend, I'm not ashamed to say sometimes I do get confused but what I am ashamed of is how people don't believe me. Because I know many people that have come to America and their first language was Spanish, but schools made them speak English. I went through the same thing of being forced to not being able to speak my first language freely.
I don't like doing this, but I will make it clear before anyone else makes an unnecessary comment of who I am and how I grew up.
I know who I am.
And thank you so much for reading this if you did, if I came out as mad or angry with y'all I just felt like shit after that comment.
I took a break because of how angry I was but realized it shouldn't matter what others say or do because I know who I am and I'm extremely proud of her.
I'm sorry for taking so long in this update I hope you all forgive me! If not that's cool that's cool. I will be writing back from normal from now on and if anything, I am a bit late.
I am 19 and I have a job lol I have payments and little wella to take care of ;).
If anyone has made you feel like how I have felt, girl me and you same. Just push through, block em ignore em, because they don't deserve your time or your head space, you are special and amazing. We should all just show love and kindness to one another... unless they keep coming at you and it keeps bothering you, well do what you gotta do. But still show people love and give love because this world lowkey doesn't need any more hate than it already has.
You are loved.
By me! I care for each and every one of you! MUAH!
