Or do you

"Are you Venom? No, you're not black. Don't be Carnage, I can't deal with being a homicidal maniac." Logan felt weirdly calm, too calm.

"I am not either of these, I just took to this form to build rapport. After perusing your thoughts I found a fondness for the Spider-Man character. Given my unique biology I thought a symbiote would be most readily accepted." the newly appointed symbiote explained.

"You can read my thoughts? Why am I not surprised?"

"That and you are currently wearing a venom shirt."

"Yeah that makes sense too." Logan conceded "So what are you actually and what do you want with me?"

"Not too far removed from those fictious Klyntar and my desire is simple. To survive. Judging from your species having a higher intellect than any other organism on this planet, I speculate that you have follow up questions. Such as how and what is in it for you."

Logan bit off his forthcoming questions and nodded a bit dumbly.

"I am able to make your form malleable-"

"Like the dude from Prototype?"

The parasite rolled his eyes, quite the human trait but it would get the point across. "Yes. Shape-shifting, composition hardening, enhanced physical capabilities, and given time and proximity I can alter others as well. This will take some effort on your part, as all these actions will require energy and if you are over taxed. We could die."

The parasite continued as Logan's eyes lit up. "In exchange for survival I will assist you in your goals. Wealth, power, security, and reproduction."

Logan had been leaning forward more and more throughout this new revelation. Now with his face less than a foot away flashing a smile to the toothy symbiote. "This is amazing. Now how about a name? Partners need a certain familiarity after all."
