"Wanna get some groceries?" Mom asks, scrolling on her phone.

"Yeah, sure." I tie up a garbage bag. "I'll drop this off outside."

She nods, gaze still glued to her phone "Kay."

I grab the bag, following her out. I set the bag on the curb before jogging over and getting in the car. The car ride is silent as we go to the grocery store.

"Come on," mom grabs her purse, and we go in. I follow her around, grabbing what we need from the list we made. Mom's phone rings, so she goes back outside.

I grab some tater tots, and I instantly think of Venom.

"Harper," a deep voice says.

I pause, no way...

I turn to see Eddie Brock standing there, Venom peaking out over his shoulder. "See, Eddie? Harper would buy me tater tots!" Venom growls accusingly, tilting his head slightly as black tendrils attach him to Eddie's back.

"Yeah, whatever." Eddie gives venom a look. He focuses back on me, "Why are you with your mother? I thought, you were, ahh.." he scratches his head, looking around. "Livin with the avengers or somethin."

"I was. The court case was today, but I was forced to go back to my mom's" I explain.

"We should have eaten her while we had the chance!" Venom licks his teeth.

"You ate this morning," Eddie sighs.

"A snack would not hurt." Retorts Venom

"I guess you two are getting along again?" I smile softly.

"You could say that." Eddie puts his hands in his pockets.

"I need tater tots, Eddie. And chocolate!" Venom moves forward to grab a bag of tater tots with his teeth. He moves back, seeming to grin at Eddie's eye roll. 

Eddie takes the bag from Venom, "Yeah, ok. God, I'm gonna be broke from buying tater tots."

"Eddie, you should give Harper our phone number," Venom says the last part slowly as if making sure he was talking correctly.

"Why would I-"

"She's is a friend! Also so we can talk if we are ever bored." Venom nods

I laugh, pulling out my phone from my pocket. I hand it to Eddie, and he types in his number. He hands my phone back after, "I should go, I'm glad I could talk."

"See ya" Eddie nods in farewell.

"Goodbye," says Venom.

I walk up to the counter, paying for the stuff since Mom had left her purse with me. I go back out to the car, putting the groceries in the back and seating in the front.

"What took you so long?" Mom scoffed.

I shrugged, "Just took a little longer." I buckle my seatbelt.

Mom starts the car and starts driving. I can tell she's upset about something, but I don't know what. "... Mom? Is everything ok?"

"I'm fine." She stops an intersection, pulling out her phone and texting.

I watch as the light turns green. "the light's green." I tell her.

"Kay." She continues typing.

The car behind us honks. "Mom!" I urge.

She glares at me for a second before moving the car forwards. "There's no need for you to talk to me that way."

She picks her phone back up, texting with driving. My heart races nervously. "Can you put your phone down? Please?" I ask

She looks at me as her temper flares. "Oh my God, just shut up! Why did I even bother getting you back!? I should've had you stay with that band of freaks you love so much! I regret your birth more than anything else I've ever-"

There's a horrifying sound of crumpling metal, and there's a big impact to the side of my head, making everything go black.
