4 Chapter 4: Will he accept or not?

[Venom POV]

"Because You're rich!" I said as I laugh a little.

"Because you have all the money most humans would ever ask for. Yet you don't always enjoy it because of your mission. So I want it. But since I need a host anyway, why not you? I can make you a better batman, in exchange you allow me use of your body to mess around as Bruce Wayne." I said excitedly. 

"Think of it this way, you get to be a better batman, I get to relax as Bruce Wayne, buy whatever I want, maybe sleep with some women and keep up with your [Mask] of a persona. This way, its simply another layer to hide the batman. The money also returns to the city and not just stagnating in your bank vaults. I may even start new ventures which may keep the economy of Gotham going."

The longer I talk, the more I can see his face starting to really consider it so I keep going.

"Of course if there were situations the batman is needed in broad daylight, I can wake you up and swap immediately as well. Though generally, this is not how my species normally work."

"How do you mean?" He asks confused. " How do you normally work with your host?"

"Normally we can also properly bond with the host, reading their memories and actually being one with them. however, what I know about you, someone scares me a little. I have seen how dark humanity can be. I have also seen how you regularly peer into the abyss. And quite frankly, even if I am not human, some of what you face may be too dark, even for me."

This is mostly because I'm not the actual venom, I'm merely lucky enough to obtain his existence. A bootleg of him. So I don't have Venom's memories or connection with knull. But this body seems to have already bonded with Spider-man at some point but without Venom's consciousness. So I somehow still retain knowledge of his powers and imitate them. Though Batman does not know all that. 

I simply wish to offer him Strength, Agility, Stamina and Peter's Spider-sense. With batman having these, he could go a long way and I could control his riches when he sleeps.

"If you choose to accept my offer, you can start by giving me a bit of knowledge on what to look out for as Wayne, or if I need to look after your company. And in return, you can get all your perks And I can even transform my body to cover yours with a suit that MAKES you resist bullets. 

And in case you reject my offer, you can always search for some random brain dead man and i can use that body instead."

I lay out my cards hoping he would accept. Worse case, I look for some brain dead guy and pretend to be them.

"The major downside to this though is you get my weaknesses as well so i may need you to learn of that, should we all come to an agreement. Of course I cant exactly tell you said weaknesses until after you have gone to our side. So, What say you Mr. Wayne?"
