Kenji couldn't even touch Gargan, he just flailed about until a kick to the shin. He called out in pain and then muttered out a quiet "Ouch," when he landed on the floor
"What are you gonna do about it, pipsqueak?" Gargan snarled, looking as menacing as possible. "Let me out," Venom hissed. "No ..." Kenji muttered under his breath "Can't let you out ... You'll kill him,"
"I'm not afraid of you...." Kenji's rescuer said, sounding very afraid indeed "It's not okay to hurt people who are smaller than you...." "I'm sorry," Kenji looked up from his spot, lying up against the wall, the girl was talking to him "No one is going to help us.... No one cares about people like us." She looked back to Gargan "It's people like you that ruined my life." She told him.
A small knife went flying at Gargan's head. Kenji looked up at the two people and got to his feet. He didn't want Venom to kill Gargan, but he had to protect the girl. There was a piece of lead piping beside him which was smashed into Gargan's back. "Leave. Her. Alone." Kenji said, nervously taking a step back and hitting Gargan again with the pipe.

"No one is going to help us.... No one cares about people like us."
Again, filled with one of the strongest desires to laugh ever, Gargan was almost too consumed with amusement to dodge the knife now thrown at him. With his heightened reflexes, the razor sharp thing was too easy to pluck out of the air with two fingers, coming nowhere close to harming the large man; not like it would have done any damage even if he let it hit. Still, when a knife is tossed at you it's normal to stop it.
No longer able to control himself, a rolling, grating laughter poured out from Gargan; so much so that he was forced to assume the tripod position, two beefy hands resting on his kneecaps. "OH! HAHA! You're...you're right! Nobody does care about you, nobody!" The sound continued to tear itself from his throat, his body still shaking, still being thrown about by its force, "OH! And you thought a knife, a KNIFE, would hurt me. Oh this is just too ri-"
However, whatever word Gargan was about to use was drowned out as the alley was filled noice of metal upon...well, somthing akin to solid concrete, aka Scorpion's head. More out of shock then pain, the masked marauder stumbled foreward, one hand leaping up to cradle his hurt head; who had hit him? No...no...the more appropriate question was, who hit him that hard?
Turning, he half expected to see the web-crawler, that accursed Spider-Man, but who greeted him? The asian boy. A roar leapt out from Gargan's mouth, "YOU!" Without a single thought about the girl who liked to toss daggers, the PI threw himself forward at Kenji, arms outstretched and fingers clawed, ready to perfectly encircle the boy's neck and snap it like dry firewood.

Kai glared at Gargan as he stopped her knife and taunted her. The boy attacked him with a pipe, and as Gargan turned angrily, about to strangle him, Kai looked around desperately. She couldn't let this happen. But what could she do? He had her knife, and he claimed that something like that wouldn't hurt him. All she had left was some lifted silverware, an old pair of scissors, and a fur coat. Thinking quickly, Kai formed a long silk thread, hastily tying a brass button from the coat onto the end of it as some weight, and lassoed Gargan's wrists together. Her silk may not come out as fast as Spiderman's, but it was pretty much as durable as the webbing. Kai yanked hard on the silk, trying to pull Gargan's hands away from the boy.

"LET ME OUT NOW!" Venom cried "Or he'll kill you!"
Kenji didn't want to give into Venom not yet. There was one thing he had that Venom didn't. Unpredictability. After the symbiote merged with him his muscles got stronger, he was faster and stronger than the average person even though he didn't look it, given that Gargan had caught a knife and taken a blow to the head with a lead pipe he was fairly sure that he couldn't take Gargan out himself, but he might (just might) be able to keep him on his toes.
Kenji leapt out of the way, onto a nearby dumpster and then promptly fell off balance and fell on his back next to his would-be-saviour. He made a mental note never to try any spiderman-esque heroics and sat up. He noticed that she had something tied around his attackers arms, Kenji looked at her and nodded. "Um ... thanks,"

Hands, oh his hands! About to wrap around that weedy neck and throttle it, oh how sweet said throttling would be!
Then, out of nowhere a sticky, silky substance wrapped around his wrists, not pulling him off course, but causing enough surprise to stop the villain in his tracks. Blinking once stupidly, still a bit dazed his quarry leapt out of his reach...then promptly fell onto his behind; how amusing.
Turning, he saw who had just cast this web-like substance that reminded him so of his hated and despised foe, Spider-Man, but it was not him, no, it was the girl, the tiny one. "Knives don't work so you try...silk?" Gargan was immediately filled with another desire to laugh, but he staved it off, the Police weren't fools and they'd be checking the perimeter soon enough; he had to get whatever he wanted done fairly quickly.
A quick flex of his hands was enough to make him aware that this silk, although appearing quite dainty, was pretty darned durable; breaking it was possible, but it would take oh so much time. It was so much simpler to just... well, give the darn thing a tug.
"HAH!" With that exclamation, Mac threw his wrists behind him, the string of silk attatched to them of course then linked to Kai, which, if she didn't drop the thing fast, would soon send her on a little flight through the air towards a rather angry and maniacal Mac Gargan who would only be too happy and too gracious to greet her with...mmm... a fist to the face probably.

Kenji landed ungraciously next to Kai, thanking her awkwardly. Kai nodded in acknowledgement, but her attention was quickly drawn back to the once more taunting Gargan. He threw his hands behind him, sending Kai flying toward him. At the last second, Kai closed her eyes, concetrating, causing her black butterfly wings to appear, and she fluttered just out of Gargan's reach, quickly returning to her previous spot, checking on her still sleeping rabbit. "You should always have an ace in the hole...." Kai muttered, half to herself, half to Kenji. Then she turned to face Gargan again. She didn't know what this kid was capable of, or what Gargan was capable of. But she did know that if she couldn't defeat him, she could always fly away. And this kid didn't seem too heavy. She figured that she could probably get him to safety, too. She normally wouldn't concern herself with anyone. But this kid just hit a soft spot in her heart. And she was determined to help him as best she could.

OOC: I'm confused... is Kai still holding onto the silk she used to "lasso" Gargan?

She was flying ... actually flying. A pair of black butterfly wings were lifting her off the ground Kenji was still on his back gazing up at her. "You should always have an ace in the hole...." She told Gargan. "Yes and yours is ME!" Venom screeched, angrier than he'd ever been before.
This was dangerous Venom was irritated he'd probably kill Gargan and then proceed to waste Kai, but if he didn't let him out then they'd die for certain! What could he do? Kenji sat there staring and then heard something, sirens.
Kenji got to his feet, they were close, he just needed to keep Venom contained, Kai alive and Gargan on his toes before they showed up. He dusted himself off, cried something out and then rugby tackled Gargan. Nothing happened Gargan was really heavily built and dressed in some kind of powered armour. Kenji just kind of pushed against him and then looked up sheepishly. "... Hi ..." he murmured.

WINGS! Blasted, torrential wings! So, there was more to this girl than meets the eye. Still, she could have a hundred wings as far as Gargan was concerned, he was still stronger, still faster, still smarter.
Before he had time to let out a titanic roar of sorts and throw her into some wall by the blasted silk lasso she had spun about his wrists, he found himself being tackled by the Asian runt. The boy's strength was still unexpected, but not nearly enough to move him... how amusing.
Glaring down at Kenji's face without a hint of sympathy, one flex of his arms was suffice to snap the darned silk wrapping up his wrists. Quick as a flash, he had Kenji by the scruff of the neck, lifting him bodily like a misbehaven puppy of sorts.
"This friend of yours," Gargan growled as he gave Kenji a rough shake, "Is going to be a sloppy mess against the wall here if you don't scram right now, butterfly girl." This, of course, was an outright bluff for he wasn't going to break a possible bit of leverage against Parker over something as trivial as this. This girl, however, couldn't possibly know this of course, so he felt confident that she would am-scram real fast.

Kai was horrified that Keni would throw himself at Gargan like that. Did he want to get killed?! Her ears were ringing, so she didn't really hear Gargan's threat. But she knew he was trying to bargain with her. She couldn't deny that she was curious as to why this huge creeper of a guy would be so interested in a little Asian boy. But that didn't matter to her right now. What mattered was that Kenji was in trouble, and it seemed that his only ally in this fight was Kai. She wracked her brain, desperately seeking a solution. Then something hit her. It was a big risk, but it was worth it, she was sure of that. She lightly kicked her black bag, and then began muttering rapidly in an incoherent fashion. The little rabbit in her bag opened it's ruby eyes and twitched its nose. Then it scampered off, toward Gargan. It attempted to (but ultimately failed) drive its teeth into his foot. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, (as Aki, the rabbit, scrambled, scared and confused back to Kai) a huge swarm of butterflies appeared, surrounding Gargan and fluttering around him, their many differently colored and patterned wings causing a blur.

Kenji stopped struggling for a second and stared at the rabbit before looking up slowly. He glared at the butterfly winged woman. It wasn't really going to get him free but it might keep them occupied long enough for the police to show up. "Really?" He said, trying to pull himself up using Gargan's arm as leverage "I mean honestly? That's your plan to save me?" He looked at Gargan "Are you threatened by this? At all?"
He finally managed to pull himself to a height where he wasn't struggling to breathe and looked up at the girl with the wings. "What next a swarm of ..." Kenji paused, his eyes settling on a small butterfly that sat on Gargan's shoulder, another followed, and a few more, and a few more and-
Kenji looked up at the girl. She was good, very good.

My, my, this day was getting more amusing by the second; casually, Scorpion raised one foot and let it hover over the small bunny. He couldn't help but imagine what this was going to sound like...
Then, puzzling Gargan more so than the bunny attack, a whirling virtual tornado of butterflies was suddenly around him; not dealing any real damage, but proving to be very, very irritating. Cursing and spitting, the bunny was given an avenue of escape as the PI's attention was diverted.
Now, when a body faces a flurry of...erm...butterflies (note that this isn't normally an everyday occurance) the initial reaction is to swat and hit them to scatter them. This probably wouldn't have worked to well in Scorpion's case, but the hand he decided to swat and hit with happened to be gripping tightly to the collar of Kenji Kato.
And so... you can probably guess what ensued in the next few seconds as the torrent of butterflies was assaulted by Scorpion, using the body of the asian boy as a giant butterfly swatter of sorts, all the while he kept his eyes and mouth tightly shut; butterflies tasted disgusting.

Since Gargan couldn't see due to the flurry of winged insects, Kai bit her lip as he swung at them with Kenji. "Damn it...." Kai had called the butterflies to distract Gargan, ending up in him letting go of Kenji. Kai thought hard. Then she jumped on Gargan's back, grabbing his arm that was holding Kenji. The butterflies would dissipate, and then re-swarm, attempting to avoid the swinging teenager. Kai was thrown off of Gargan as he swatted, but she was now at his feet. Kai suddenly got an idea. She pulled some silk from her mouth and wrapped it several times around Gargan's huge ankles. She tied it off, then took her fallen knife off the ground. She cut Kenji's shirt where Gargan was holding it, pulling the small boy away from the large beast. She frowned, not wanting anymore butterflies to get hurt by the flailing man. She started muttering rapidly again, and what remained of the butterflies fluttered off.

Kenji Kato, had the power to become a huge black monster that ate people, this super-entity called itself Venom. A more fitting name for Kenji was (at this precise moment) "The human fly swatter" because that was exactly what Gargan was using him for. He accidentally swallowed one of the insects flitting around which brought a whole new meaning to "butterflies in your stomach".
He had his eyes closed tightly as Gargan swung him around but they opened briefly after the fluttering noises stopped and saw Kai trying to grapple with Scorpion. "If you are desperate to get yourself killed ..." sighed an exasperated Venom "At least put up a fight," Kenji nodded for a second and then jumped forward (kind of) and tried to gouge Gargans eyes hoping that it would at least distract him until the police came.
