"Venomll?" McCall called out, looking around warily. His enthusiasm started to wane as they entered the eerily quiet enclosed area that was unusually well-lit with soft, diffused light.

Sandhoff followed McCall with her eyes peeled for any hint of danger. She had an odd feeling about this place, but she was too focused to show any signs of irritation.

Suddenly, a spider-like figure emerged from the shadows, revealing Venomll. "Looking for someone?" she chirped, her voice echoing in the enclosed space.

"We're here to stop you, Venomll," McCall announced, his gentlemanly attitude unwavering. But Venomll merely chuckled, her amusement clear.

"We'll just see about that," Venomll laughed, turning on her heel as she released a thick, glistening web straight at McCall.

McCall tried to dodge, but the web caught him, sticking to his clothes. As he struggled, he felt a warm, hazy sensation creeping over him.

"McCall!" Sandhoff exclaimed, rushing to his aide. She touched the web wrapped around him, then quickly pulled back as she felt a strange warmth coursing through her.

Venomll watched them with pleasure, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Let the fun begin,” she murmured to herself, disappearing into the shadows.

McCall's heart began to race. His vision was blurry, and he felt drawn to Sandhoff in a way he couldn't explain. He looked at her, his eyes intense.

Sandhoff felt a similar desire. This wasn’t irritation or annoyance, but an inexplicable attraction towards McCall. A blush spread across her usually stern face.

"Sandhoff..." McCall murmured, reaching out to her. His fingers brushed her cheek, making her shiver under the gentle touch. The air was thrumming with energy.

"McCall..." she breathed, her mind foggy and overwhelmed with emotions. She was falling under the venom's spell, and she knew he was, too.

Their eyes locked, both paralyzed by a force they couldn't resist. There was yearning in their gazes, unspoken but profoundly present.

"I should've told you..." McCall whispered, his voice cracking. Too late for regrets, he leaned in, surrendering to his feelings and the venom's effect.

"Me too..." Sandhoff admitted, half scared and half relieved. She closed her eyes, letting her feelings guide her as their lips met in a fervent kiss.

The kiss was intoxicating, filled with all the unspoken emotions they had kept suppressed. The aphrodisiac venom had only amplified what was already there.

As they broke apart, both gasping for air, they shared a look. It was clear; this wasn't just because of the venom. This was genuine.

A pang of guilt hit McCall. "I'm sorry, Sandhoff. I should've told you about my feelings before all this." But his voice held a raw honesty.

"No, McCall. I should’ve been honest, too," she admitted, her face softened. "I guess Venomll did us a favor, in a twisted way."

They fell silent, each lost in their thoughts. The venom's effect was beginning to fade, but the intensity of their mutual feelings remained.

The silence was broken by a soft purring sound. Sandhoff glanced down to find a small tabby kitten rubbing against her leg. Despite the situation, a smile tugged at her lips.

McCall watched on, a small chuckle escaping him seeing Sandhoff's soft spot for cats. It was a calming moment amidst the chaos.

As they waited for the last of the venom to wear off, they shared a candid conversation about their feelings. There wasn't any room for pretense, just raw honesty.

"We'll handle this together, Sandhoff. As partners, and... well, something more," McCall reassured her. His smile was uncomplicated, genuine – a promise.

"Together," Sandhoff echoed, smiling back at McCall. For the first time, they felt the weight of their unconfessed love lifting, replaced with anticipation and warm certainty.

Just as they were ready to leave, Venomll reappeared from the shadows, her leisurely grin fading at the sight of two unfazed superheroes.

"You didn't break?" she yelped, genuinely surprised. McCall and Sandhoff shared a glance, a newfound confidence coursing through them. This time, they were ready.

"No, Venomll, we didn't break," McCall stated, taking a step forward. "You didn't create any feelings, you merely amplified what was already there."

Sandhoff stood by McCall's side. "And it's made us stronger,” she added, her voice steady. Their united front seemed to unnerve Venomll, but they stood their ground.

As the scene ended, McCall and Sandhoff looked at each other, their bond stronger than ever. They knew their fight was far from over, but they'd face it together.

Even in the face of danger, their love had blossomed, bridging the gap that had existed for so long. The venomous kiss had opened doors to a new beginning.
