“Yeah, but…they’re a package deal! Just cos you’re leaving Eddie alone doesn’t mean I want you hurting Venom.” Or, anyone, if he’s being honest. “What’d getting ‘em out the even achieve, anyways? All about the priorities, Pops. Daddy issues, or Kingpin. Making the streets safe, or stop you from being so butthurt…”
There’s a brief silence - savour the moment - as Toxin weighs out the options at hand. You don’t become the son of Carnage without knowing the risks, how just being with him’s like a death sentence, but, perhaps, if he’s able to steer him towards a more grey way of thinking, instead of taking out the innocent, it may be a step in the right direction. May even be fun.
“Most of Fisk’s men gotta be blackmailed or bribed, but…His li’l’ army, the ones who get off on it all? Don’t want you going nuts, Pops, but I’d say they’re fair game.” Teeming with energy, he hops over to perch by Carnage, head cocked as though assessing his mood, questioning their motives. To say he trusts them’s a major stretch, but they gotta start somewhere, right? Speaking of…
“Still working out what to do with tall, dark and ugly, though. He’s stood trial before, and talked his way out of it…In an ideal world, I’d want him brought to justice, put behind bars, but…we ain’t in an ideal world, and men like Fisk own the justice system. So, uh, it’s a work-in-progress.”
“They’re all fair game,” they muse. “Every single one - Venom may not be on the menu, but they are.” Carnage could just taste the meal already; so many bodies, so little time. Even if he didn’t eat them all, he’d still have fun, and that was honestly all that mattered.
“We’ll eat him; take him out at the top. No trial, no police, no second chances. We’ll devour him whole - you’re allowed to have a piece, if you wish.” Perhaps things wouldn’t work out as well as they believed, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t at least try to make things go as they wanted.
“Take out he head and the rest will follow. Take out the source and the infection will slowly go away.” There was more to it, of course - Carnage would get out of hand. Both Cletus and Carnage thrived on violence... on ripping people apart. It wouldn’t take much for them to go overboard - wouldn’t take much for either of them to go over the edge in all reality.
“What do you say? Let’s take out the entire system - every last one. Kingpin on down - everyone he’s with, everyone he talks to.” They doubted things would go as planned, but if they could get some time in with Toxin? Maybe it would be worth it... maybe.
