MHA : We Are Venom

-Yesss…- The voice said in grudging agreement.

-But he was only there once was he not? You never met him again. However valuable his advice might have been, he was not there for you. During your final training.-

...

The scene once again disintegrated. This time it reformed as another forest, a much more wild one. With a plain.

Izuku went cold, as the men appeared out of the dust. The gunmen.

-Stick was not there for you during your first skirmish, was he? Did he hide you from their sight? Did he grant you strength when you needed it? Did he close the wound and stop you from bleeding too. Death?-

He understood who this was now.

"This… This isn't a dream is it?"

-This is your soul, Izuku Midoriya. Your essence, your mind. Whatever you wish to call it.-

As Izuku stared at the darkness, he heard the sound of his phone. Once again, the other leaped from his hiding spot, an explosion of flame engulfing where he had been.

-As first skirmishes go, this wasn't too bad. You estimated your capacity and limitations well and made a rather remarkable retreat given your limitations. Hell, you even managed to call upon the protectors of law and order.

That was a pretty fancy way of saying he had run away like a coward.

-You wish you didn't need to run, do you not, Izuku?-

"Yeah."

-You wish you had more power, do you not Izuku Midoriya? What you have is not enough for you. Not enough at all.-

Izuku stared at him. Getting stronger, was literarily what he had been trying to do for months.

He had tried so hard to find some way to talk to his quirk. To Do what he was doing now.

"I want to get stronger." He finally said.

- So, you are willing to finish it?-

The world was destroyed again, this time as if it were made of glass that suddenly shattered. Once again he was in the void. But this time…

Beneath him, he saw a symbol. A giant white spider, surrounded by black tar.

"Finish… Finish what?"

-Our BOND Izuku Midoriya. It is nearing completion, the point of. No. Return.-

Izuku watched as the liquid beneath the web he was standing on began to turn and trash, like a sea during a storm. The white spider began to sink beneath the waves.

Izuku felt it down to his core. Something was about to happen. Something that could not be undone. In one moment, he saw how fragile it actually was. He could break it. He could stop this. He was in control here, not the other one.

All he had to do, was force this to stop, and the bond would break.

-We will be ONE, Izuku. Together, we can do it all, whatever your dreams desire, WE ca-

Izuku jumped from the web before it was done speaking.

Why would he ever want to break this bond? This bond was his future, his life, his dreams. It was the thing that had changed his life around when everything had seemed like it was all doomed to eternal disappointment.

It was salvation.

It was all he ever wanted.

He crashed into the black liquid, which embraced him like he was a long lost lover that had finally come home again after countless years apart.

The white spider rose up to meet him.

...

On the top floor of a skyscraper, in a room that had been abandoned for years, a figure seemingly made of living darkness entered from the rooftop, in the middle of the night.

It was an old skyscraper, used by a bunch of different sales companies. The top floors, however, hadn't been in use since a hero who had made it his home had retired years ago.

The figure entered a storage room, then it climbed up into a corner of the room, where it began to encase itself in a cocoon of black webs.

The hours went by.

01.00.

02.00.

04.00.

05.43, the web which had been still for hours, began to move.

05.56, the webs began to break.

06.12, the cocoon began to crack.

Finally, at 06.27, an arm burst out of the black cocoon. The arm was a shade of blue so dark it seemed black, even in the sunlight coming in from the windows.

Another arm burst out from the container, and wrenched it open, as a figure came out into the morning light. The cocoon began to fall apart, then each of the black pieces began to seemingly disintegrate into nothing.

The figure was of the same ethereal blue that bordered on black. The way the light revealed it, seemed completely unnatural for anything on earth. It was alien. In every way imaginable.

On it's chest was a symbol. Showcasing a giant white spider, who's legs went around and linked it to an identical spider on the back. On the back of his hands were two white square patches, slightly higher than the skin around it.

On his head that was like a sleek, smooth mannequin, was two large pure white eyes, like patches.

...

Holy shit.

Izuku felt ALIVE . More alive than he had ever felt in his life. He felt… Strong. He felt like he had become a creature of steel, every sinew alive with power.

He flexed his arm, and he noticed the complete change in his muscles. Hell, his quirk even parted to let him get a better lock at the skin.

The arm that had been scrawny was now replaced with ripped muscles, the outline from the scar that the bullet had left being the only thing that marred it.

It was an unusual scar, with the circle around it being how a scar usually looked, while the inside having completely perfect skin.

Izuku did not focus on his unusual scar, however. He was far too busy marveling at the changes. He felt amazing! He felt incredible! He felt like he could jump through the air like he was ALL Might himself!

He could do it! He could- He could…

Flashes of memories began to flood his mind.

Memories of things that couldn't be, impossible things, things that completely upended everything he had ever thought he knew about the universe.

Izuku froze completely.

He just stood there gaping, trying desperately to process it all, until finally the… Thing detached itself from his head and formed a face in front of him.

This face did not much resemble the struggling mass he had come to know and accept as his quirk. This one was solid, with no drops of black liquid almost falling from it. It also had large, sharp white eyes, and a smile of creepy sharp fangs.

"Hello, Izuku." The voice was like Izuku's, just deeper and without any of the reservation Izuku carried with him.

Izuku just stared at that face, not in fear as was probably how he should have felt. No, he felt only complete and utter shock.

"You… You're… You're not a quirk, are you?"

The thing… No, the ALIEN, Laughed.

"Not by any stretch no. My name Izuku is Venom. We are not from around here so to say."

"You're an alien."

"Guilty as charged. We are what the universe know as a Klyntar, though you would translate it as-"

"Symbiote." Izuku said numbly.

"Yes." Venom answered cheerfully.

Reality set in for Izuku. His quirk was an Alien. A goddamned being from outer space.

He slumped up against the wall and sank against it until he sat.

And he had bonded with it. Permanently.

"You know, Izuku, nothing has really changed in the grand scheme of things."

"Nothi-EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED!" He didn't mean to scream. It just… Came out like that.

He cradled his head as he began hyperventilating.

"I… I thought I was normal! I thought… I thought I was finally like EVERYONE ELSE! Instead, I'm…"

What? What was he exactly? Not normal that was for damned sure.

"Normal is overrated. What you want is to be extraordinary, is it not? You wanted power, and we are providing it for you. This is what you always wanted, isn't it? To be strong?"

It was. The truth of that statement burned. He had wanted powers for so many years, that when he finally got them, he didn't even question that it might not be a quirk, even though he really should have. He had been told long ago that it was physically impossible for him to have a quirk. And the doctor had been right. Completely, utterly right.

"Look Izuku, it doesn't fucking matter where your powers come from. The end result is the same."

"What, you mean I should just pretend you're a quirk?"

"As opposed to what exactly? Tell everyone that you're bonded to an alien? We've been in quite a few first contacts Izuku, and there are only 2 ways that roads end. Either you're labeled a madman, or you're believed, and you're hunted by the local government for the rest of your life."

Izuku froze. He hadn't even considered that! Oh, God! He was right. He… He couldn't tell anyone about this. EVER!

It was amazing how this night had washed all his previous stress, only replace them with WAY more stressful issues.
