1933 New Year's Eve, Lowest East Side, New York. Somewhere on an NYC street road.
Andy sits on a bench beside the road, looking dazed while watching the walking pedestrians dressed in winter clothes.
It's been years since he left the orphanage to fend for himself. A lot of women and girls walking in the streets are attracted to his handsome and eye-catching hair color, which stands out in the crowd.
However, the women in this era are still conservative and didn't strike a conversation with him.
Andy thinks that if not for this being a world of MCU Captain America, he could eat soft rice just with his handsome face like young Leon in Resident Evil.
He has medium-short silver-blonde hair, violet eyes, a medium muscular body with 8-pack abs, and a height of 185 cm despite being a 16-year-old kid.
Andy doesn't know the reason why he is so tall, strong, and handsome even though he lacks food nutrition as an orphan, but he thinks it's the benefit of being a traverser.
It saves him trouble from being bullied, and he works out every day, training hand-to-hand combat with gangsters on the street.
He is a veritable little boss with his strength, and he is mixing well with Joseph Manfredi, a soon-to-be head of the mafia family.
"Hey Mr. Gigolo, long time no see," a familiar voice sounds beside him.
"Oh, it's you, the genius boy," Andy turns to look at the person on the car back seat, and there he sees the teen Howard Stark.
Howard Stark is still a good boy now and working hard inventing a lot of machines to become a multi-millionaire.
Only later when he founded the Stark Weapon Industry did he let go of himself and become a playboy.
"What are you doing now?" asked Howard Stark.
"Well, it's okay, I'm doing good and mixing well with Joseph Manfredi, thanks to you."
Howard Stark and Joseph Manfredi were friends and taught Stark how to climb from the social class.
"I'm glad that you are doing okay... well, I think you can pass as a gigolo to those old rich ladies with that handsome look, and you don't need to try hard living and mixing in the streets.... hahaha." Howard Stark suggested, looking at Andy's handsome face, feeling envious, thinking 'well, he's still not handsome as me.'

"Shut up, that is the last thing I will do haha." Becoming a gigolo will make his identity as a traverser ashamed. This bastard is still making fun of him because of some incident years ago.
"I already said that if you want, I can still hire you as my driver and bodyguard with 1500$ a month."
Howard Stark offers him a good deal as a friend. 1,500$ is already a high salary during this time.
"Although I want to accept your offer, I refuse. I still want to try if I can make a living on the on my own and change my destiny." Andy thought, 'Although I want to hug your Golden Thigh,
He think he should better stay out of the picture, and that is Jarvis's position. What's more, he's scared of T.V.A.
Howard Stark: "Well, that's it. I still need to go home celebrating New Year's Eve. Do you want to go and visit?"
"I will pass this time, and I think you should spend your family time with your parents more because you're busy with your work. Anyway, thanks for the invitation." Andy refuses again. He is not shameless enough to eat and drink in the Stark household.
"Uhhm, Ok, anyway, happy New Year, Mr. Gigolo. Here is a chocolate bar for you. I will go now, and my parents are still waiting for me." Howard Stark didn't insist on inviting him. He knows that Andy didn't want to join in their once-a-year family gathering.
Looking at the car going away, Howard Stark is like a tsundere. He knows that he takes time looking for him just to greet him with happy New Year.
They don't often meet because he is busy with work, inventing machines, and participating on those science convention.
It seems that befriending Howard Stark is the right choice and is going well. However, he doesn't know if he can repay him in the future.
"Well, it's getting late and I should go home," Andy said. Andy is staying in a small rented house by Joseph Mafrendi as his thug.
After arriving at his home, he quickly lay down on his bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Looking at the chocolate bar in his hands, he took a bite and thought to himself, "It's been years, and I almost forgot what chocolate tastes like. During my time in the orphanage, I always gave my share to little kids because I didn't need it. I was a kid with an adult mind, and when I left the orphanage, chocolate became a luxury for me because every penny was calculated, and I was saving money for future use."
While he was getting melancholy, Andy's body started to get super itchy. He suddenly jumped up and got scared when he saw a lot of black liquid gushing out of his body from head to toe, shouting, "What the fuck? What the hell is this? Help! Help!"
Soon, Andy's whole body was covered by black liquid, and his body transformed from a 185 cm young man to a 3-meter black muscular monster.
His voice also changed to a deep and creepy voice. "What the fuck is this? Why did I suddenly get taller? What the hell happened to me?"
Andy was so frightened that he took a deep breath and tried to calm down while looking at his huge hand and body covered by black substance.
"Right, the mirror. I want to know what I look like," Andy said nervously while walking in front of the mirror. He was astonished and cursed. "What the fuck? Venom???"
The moment Andy saw his monster body through the mirror, he only left thinking, "Chocolate is Venom's favorite food, and there is also a brain of a human. If only I knew that chocolate was needed to activate my Golden Finger, what eating chocolate is a luxury? What saving money? I should have slapped those little kids in the orphanage and eaten my share."
