During the night, Will and Kate talk, and Sam searches for car parts and works to recover. There's a building on the waterfront in San Francisco, it used to be a fancy restaurant now its just a ruin.

At the moment, its a place to rest with smoke coming out of its chimney while inside Sam, Kate and Will take turns resting and recovering. Alcatraz is quiet across the water and Winter still lays over the city by the Bay.

(OOC: Open to any and all, who you get depends on timezone, so putting up now.)

Will's got the tire iron in hand and just looks up at Venom from the side of the hole,

"Aye, bloody ugly thing. Are ye one o'the Queens's?"

Well, now they're just being rude.

"We belong to ourselves, not some 'Queen'.. And we're afraid you're not particularly handsome yourself."

"Don't listen to him, Will. We're extremely pretty." Sam says, gravely.

That does get a grin from Will as he hefts the tire iron, its not a nice grin,

"Now ye'll be tellin' us who ye are else we'll be beatin' it out o'ye."

Venom grins right back. It's a talent of his, being able to grin like that.

"Oh, we don't mind answering that. We appreciate a good introduction." Venom suddenly jumps through the hole, landing with yet another thud on the floor below. The grin widens as he turns towards Will.

"We are VENOM!"

Slow clap.

"Very dramatic. Five points for theatricality."

"So now we've met, best till us what ye want or either I 'it ye or cut off yer 'ead, up to ye?"

Since there is a sword at Will's belt that looks much more comfortable than the modern shirt and jacket.

Venom gives Will the best annoyed look he can give, considering his rather limited facial features. "We'll be quite happy to eat yours if you try it. As for what we want-we want information. We haven't seen any people ever since we appeared in this wretched place, and we want to know why-and why we were brought here!"

"Try to eat anybody's head and I'll set you on fire." Sam snaps. "Arms, we can talk."

Beat.

"We don't know much either. About why we were brought here, at least - But there aren't any people because the fairies took them all."

"Aye, an made it Winter 'ere. Tis safer in Kansas, was an Apocalypse. An if ye're like us, tis na reason ye were brought 'ere just fate's bloody sense o''umor."

Venom growls at Sam's first comment, but is quickly distracted by the rest of what's said. "Fairies," he repeats, sounding disgruntled. More strangeness. No rest for the wicked, it seems like.

"What can we do about it, then? We won't stand for innocents being harmed-by fairies or anything else. ...though we would like to know what you mean by apocalypse."

"End of the world. Lots of wrecked places. Monsters."

"Aye, tis few places o'safety an na sure 'ow to kill the Queen, she's already done a good bit o''arm."

Will knows right where Kate is sleeping but he's not alerting this Venom to her and their problems, he's just not very trusting at the moment.

"In our experience, eating heads usually does work," Venom offers, looking as thoughtful as he can. "We could try that. We've been lacking in entertainment. Did she cause the apocalypse?"

"Eating her head does sound like a good idea." Thoughtfully. "And I don't think so, no."

"Nay, think that 'appened 'fore an started pullin' folks in, dinna understand it. Could always try it, we trapped 'er on that island out there for now."

Well, not knowing who caused the apocalypse is aggravating to say the least, but the other topic at hand cheers Venom up a bit. Finally, people who aren't freaked out at the idea!

"It's been awhile since we last ate...and we are always eager for a challenge. Fairies are new to us, but if we can both help the innocents here and earn a meal..." His tongue lolls out as he grins.

"... Well, that's nice."

"Aye, she's a dangerous bein'."

Venom looks thoughtful again for a moment. "So where is this Queen? We haven't seen any fairies at all-this part of the city seems to be abandoned by everyone....except you."

His head tilts as he peers at them. "Who are you?"

"I'm Sam." Sam says. "This is Will. He's a dork."

"Aye, an an outlaw. Tis an island cross the Bay an that's where she is."

"An outlaw? What sort of outlaw?" He eyeballs Will, sizing him up.

(Will already threatened him with beheading. It's perfectly reasonable to be more suspicious of him than Sam, he thinks.)

But the comment about the bay gets him thinking. "Then we have a walk ahead of us."

Suddenly a bow was fired and there was an arrow heading right for Venom's shoulder.

"GET AWAY FROM THEM NOW!"

This was from an angry Kate now with her bow up and ready to fire another shot, her blue eyes glowing angrily.

There's a flicker of gold haze behind Sam as he blurs in the way of the arrow, muttering several words under his breath. Threads of golden light, twisting together into streams that twist together into hazes spread outwards to deflect the arrow away.

He then promptly doubles over with the force of an abrupt and violent coughing fit.
"Don't shoot the creepy-tongue-guy." He just about manages to get out.
