you were a CIA agent and friend of Nick fury, you knew some of the avengers that weren't really that close and sometimes talk to coulson here and there but that was about it
That was before you retired and ultimately met Venom and Eddie before your retirement after a mission you didn't think you would crash into them again but you were going to find out soon that the Universe had different ideas... Years later..,you were now more of a mercenary vigilante, now down in San Francisco you enjoyed the people and the City occasionally stopping some crimes here and there and if you were at all being honest the city needed someone to protect it aside from Venom doing some work
Today, after doing another round around the city you stopped by a club for a drink that's when you bump into ,him again, Eddie Brock, little knowing that Venom was listening in from Eddie's mind
Venom: shit it's him, let's eat him he said a little too eager in Eddie's mind
Eddie:whispers what!? No
