You kept what you saw to yourself. Nadia's heart would break and everyone would immediately turn to locking Quentin up. You didn't want that. You didn't even know if he was guilty. He used the drones to scare of some bullies. Ok, fine. But who's to say that he killed Chester? There's just no way. It wasn't possible. This was Quentin you were talking about.

Nadia: So you didn't find out anything?

You had called her after school to "fill her in" on the situation.

Y/N: No. He was just away in the Film Room like always.

Nadia was silent for a moment.

Nadia: Alright. I'll try to text him. Maybe he'll finally answer.

You wished. You hoped so badly that he would.

Y/N: Maybe.

You ended up hanging up. As you sat on the swingset you found on your way home. This was a lot to take in. What if he did kill Chester? What would you even do? You couldn't fight your friend. You just defeated Dr. Doom and Carnage was still around. You didn't have to add fighting a friend to your plate. You looked down at your phone and sighed. You dialed his number and waited for it to ring. He didn't answer.

Y/N: Come on Quentin.

You dialed the number again but once again, no answer. You dialed it one more time.

Quentin: Hello?

Finally!

Y/N: Hey bud! W-what are you up to?

Quentin: I'm m-messing with s-some f-footage. Why?

Y/N: You know, just checking in. I'm actually back in town so if you want to hang out....

Quentin: I'm b-busy.

Damnit. Screw it.

Y/N: Look, I want to ask you something and I want the truth.

Quentin: W-What are y-you talking a-about?

Y/N: Where were you at lunch?

Silence.

Y/N: Quentin?

Quentin: H-how m-much did y-you see?

You sighed.

Y/N: All of it.

More silence.

Quentin: M-Meet me a-at the film r-room at 7.

He hung up. You slowly lowered your phone.

Venom: Thisss isss bad.

Y/N: Yeah.
---------
You reached tbe film room at 7, just like he said, and opened the door. This place used to be your escape from everyone and everything. Now you were about to confront one of your closet friends. Quentin was sitting on the couch with his bag next to him. His drones.

Y/N: Hey.

Quentin turned around enough to see you and grunted. You walked around and sat on the other side of the couch. Neither fo you looked at each other.

Quentin: Y-You saw what I d-did.

You nodded.

Quentin: Y-You heard w-what I said.

You nodded again. Silence filled the air.

Quentin: I k-know why y-you're here.

Y/N: Did you kill Chester?

Quentin was quiet. You closed your eyes as the reality struck you.

Quentin: He w-was beating m-me. H-He broke m-me headband a-and the drone a-attacked him.

Y/N: Quentin....

Quentin: I d-defended myself.

You buried your face in your hands. Quentin kept looking forward.

Quentin: N-Now no one w-will have t-to get h-hurt.

Y/N: Why didn't you say something to me or Nadia?

Quentin: I D-DON'T NEED Y-YOU!

You flinched at his sudden outburst. Quentin clenched his fist and lowered it to his knee.

Quentin: I c-can be s-strong now.

You shook you head.

Y/N: Scaring people isn't strength Quentin. Neither is murder. If you just turned yourself in and explained that it was self defen...

Quentin stood up.

Quentin: No! H-He had it c-coming.

He contiued to clench his fist.

Quentin: It w-was already a b-bad day.

He slowly unclenched his hands. He then looked up at you.

Quentin: W-What do you think a-about Nadia?

You stood up as well.

Y/N: Nadia is a friend. A good one.

Quentin: J-Just a friend?

What?

Y/N: What do you mean?

Quentin: J-Just answer the question.

You hesitated.

Y/N: Yeah. Just a friend.

Quentin looked at the ground.

Quentin: I k-know your s-secrets.

Secrets? He looked up at you.

Quentin: N-Nadia is the W-Wasp and you're M-Monster.

Your eyes grew wide. How did he know? How could he know? There was no way. But, he did.

Quentin: I've b-been watching t-the news. I-I pieced it t-together.

You stayed silent. What could you really say?

Quentin: Does t-that mean y-you'll be coming a-after me now?

You didn't answer. Quentin was a killer. He was willing to kill again. He was dangerous. A threat.

Y/N: Yeah. I will if I have to.

Quentin just looked at you. He oicked up his bag and headed towards the door.

Quentin: S-So be it.

He left the room. You stood in the dark and slowly let go of your fists. Blood dripped from the open wounds from where your nails dug into the skin. As they healed, you looked at the door.

Y/N: I'm sorry Venom.

Venom didn't say anything. You knew what he was thinking.
