5 Chapter 5: Trial Run

[Venom POV]

Okay so I think he's seriously considering it now. But I throw a bone and say..

"Look, how bout you try it out for a week and if you don't like it, you find me some body with out any brain activity and I will use that as a host instead. No hard feelings."

After what seemed like an eternity, He finally looks up and said: "Fine, I want to try it out first and see if the deal is actually worth while. But I want to take accurate scans of my body. I want to see if you actually being here is having a side effect that I would rather not have."

That actually made sense but I retort back at him.

"That might be a bit of a problem though. That entirely depends on WHAT you use to scan me with. As there are things that my biology does not agree with. Weaknesses remember?" I said this as I recall the Venom movie that He can't even get an MRI. Though MRI's don't produce high frequency sounds, the movie portrayed venom didn't like it so I don't want to risk it either.

After pondering a bit, he then asks "What about a sample then? I want a small sample of your body to do my tests. I am not going through anything that will be harmful to my body!" He sternly states. 

"FINE! But just a little bit!" Afterwards I expel a bit of myself outside his palm to produce a small enough sample for his tests.

[Venom POV]

A Few days later, He finally accepts the trial run, thinking based on his tests that my biology is, for now, acceptable. Though we have not actually gone out yet. He needed to first get used to his enhanced body so as to not hurt or kill civilians. 

He had a training area in his bat cave so he could measure the changes in "our" body. He tried jumping to see how high he could jump and he nearly impales himself with the stalactites in the cave.

"Hahahaha, the look on your face when you did that! But seriously though, be careful man, we wouldn't wanna die this early! Look, the highest you can jump with me is probably around 5 maybe 6 floors high. If you were a meta human or mutant or something maybe higher but for now that's the rough range. "I told him 

"Have you bonded with these metas and mutants before?" He asked

"Plenty yeah, but that was in my previous universe. Long story short, I was able to replicate some of my hosts abilities from long ago, hence the enhancements you currently enjoy. But they are mostly limited to bodily abilities. You on the other hand, have abilities as a result of your mind and discipline. And as I said before, I don't really want to look into your mind so I wont be able to copy that. I just wanna live like a rich spoiled brat and enjoy life you know. All that fighting gets real old once you get enough of it!" I said while sighing. 

"How about some of these weaknesses you mentioned earlier? Will they affect me as well?" He was quite curious since it meant he would have to someone be weary of those.

"I'll tell you but don't use it against me. After all, even if this is a trial run, we are now one." I muttered. I know telling the batman my weakness would probably be used as a contingency but since this is his early days, I was hoping he would be more willing to cooperate and use me to his advantage instead. "Its high frequency sonics and intense heat. As you can probably guess, no ultrasounds and such. MRI's are bit of a mystery to me but it still hurts so none of those as well. In my universe, sonic guns were weaponized to hurt our kind. But here, you still probably should avoid really big church bells or steel beams hitting each other real bad. As for high heat, I mean who wouldn't? I'd prefer not to be microwaved or cooked to death, thank you very much!"

He then starts to lift weights to start his measurements and assessments. This is going to be a long night which is good for me. I would have time to reorganize my memories.
