After travelling a fairly long distance away from the scene, Venom landed on top of a decently tall building. He was pretty sure that there was nobody else around so was fine with transforming back into Harry.
"What the fuck was that?!" Harry gasped, his hands moving up to feel his body, he breathed a small sigh of relief upon realising that he was back to normal. Harry spotted a few pieces of broken glass nearby, he quickly rushed forwards and picked up the biggest piece he could find. He stared at his reflection, glad to see his regular old face with his black hair and green eyes, even his glasses. His free hand rubbed at his eyes in an attempt to stave away the headache he was feeling, though it wasn't doing as good of a job as he would like. Harry removed his hand and damn near jumped out of his skin when he saw that his reflection in the glass had changed. "Bloody hell! V… Venom, is that you?" Harry asked, staring at the white-eyed and large-toothed being that had replaced his reflection.
"Correct," Venom said, nodding even though Harry hadn't. "impressive, right?"
"That's… that's one word for it." Harry agreed even though the first word that jumped into his head was 'terrifying'. He didn't really blame that witch for being so scared, he was sure that seeing Venom in person would be an even more overwhelming experience. "I… you bit that woman's hand off?" Harry remembered as he continue to goggle at Venom. Harry's right shoulder twitched, he glanced at it and saw a black tendril shoot out from it and move until it was in front of his face, the tip of the tendril changed and suddenly Venom's face was staring at him.
"You wouldn't let me eat her head," Venom said in a voice that was a cross between amusement and annoyance. Harry gulped, barely noticing that he had dropped the glass that he had been holding.
"The… this is what you look like?" Harry asked softly, still staring at Venom. Once he got past how scary the alien was, he could admit that Venom looked fairly impressive. His eyes, teeth, and even his tongue just screamed out 'apex predator'.
"Is that a problem?" Venom asked, sounding offended.
"No! No," Harry quickly replied. "it's just… well… a bit overwhelming. I… honestly, you're very…"
"Impressive?" Venom guessed, purring out the word. "Intimidating? Handsome?"
"Uh… yeah, all of the above." Harry nodded, he couldn't help but think that the Venom was having a bit of an ego. "But… back to that woman…"
"Yes, I don't know why you're complaining," Venom responded. "I didn't even enjoy the taste of her."
"You ate her hand, I…"
"She stabbed me." Venom interrupted.
"It didn't even hurt you." Harry pointed out with a frown.
"Doesn't mean that I have to like it," Venom growled. "besides, what I did was a public service."
"A public service?" Harry repeated with disbelief, goggling at Venom. "How was that a public service?"
"Think about it, Harry," Venom's tongue licked his lips. "that woman was a very bad person."
"Well, yeah," Harry conceded. "she was. But she…"
"Has probably done horrible things to many others, the same horrible things she tried to do to you," Venom spoke, his voice sounding softer than before. "if I stopped her permanently then there would have been far fewer victims in the future."
"But… but the aurors can catch her, right?" Harry asked.
"Perhaps," Venom nodded. "but we made it much easier for them, besides, it's not entirely guaranteed that they would punish them properly. We made it so that those criminals will think twice before doing anything like that again."
"We?" Harry echoed. "Why do you say 'we'? You did that, not me."
"Wrong," Venom spoke up, his mouth widening into a full-sized grin. "I couldn't have done that without you, Harry. It is 'we', Harry. Now, if you don't want me to go back and finish the job then you need to find me some more food. I'm willing to listen to you, but not if it means dying of hunger." Harry's emerald green eyes locked with Venom's milky white ones, the two simply stared at each other for several long moments before Harry let out a small huff.
"Fine, there should be a few food shops nearby, we'll experiment and see what you like."
"Excellent," Venom said in a happy voice before pulling back and disappearing back into Harry's body. 'Let's get going.' Venom's voice echoed in Harry's head.
"My life was a lot more normal before I met you." Harry groaned, but stood up anyway and decided to get moving. As far as he was concerned, it was better to just hurry up and get the alien his food.
