Chapter 154. Riot vs Venom-Spider-Man
----
By the time Peter burst through the Life Foundation's security gates, Carlton Drake knew his window was closing.
The boy had arrived faster than expected.
If he wanted to stand a chance against Spider-Man, Drake would need to act now no more rehearsals, no more theories. It was time to bond with Riot.
Inside the lab, the silver symbiote stirred, sensing danger.
But as Riot lunged toward Drake, he was met with a burst of high-frequency sound.
WRAAAAGHHH!
Riot dropped to the floor, writhing.
In the room's corner, Drake held up a compact sonic emitter developed by Dr. Dora Skirth before she defected. Symbiotes, he knew, were vulnerable to intense heat and sound.
"You're intelligent, aren't you?" Drake said, voice tight. "I've fed you. You've heard me. You know what's coming."
"Venom is bringing someone... someone powerful. If we let him win he becomes your leader."
