Working under the Moonlight

So far it had been a very quiet night for Ryan on his patrol. Ryan was almost a little bit disappointed. It’s not that he didn’t mind the fact that there was no one going out and breaking the law what he really wanted was someone to hit because his last few big fight had not ended well for him, one end with him in la la land after getting head butted by a godling making him the only guy to lose his fight and the other involved him knocking out a girl then almost immediately ringing himself out of the fight and into the freezing Hudson river for almost a half an hour how he got out of that without frostbit he still was not sure.

Considering how quiet the night had been it seem like wasn’t going to be getting a break any time soon on that either. It was either that or he was so off right now that he just couldn’t spot any criminals which scared him a little bit. In the back of his mind a voice was nagging at him telling him that maybe he just wasn’t good enough to be doing this type of work and that he was just a fool playing hero when he wasn’t even close to one. Ryan was ignoring that voice but with ever thing that had been happening to him of late it was getting harder and harder even with his self confidence.

From the roof top he was standing on from the corner of his eye Ryan spotted what looked like a mugger following closely behind a young woman. Maybe he wasn’t as out of it as he thought he was. Using some free running to get down off the roof top to the street to incept the mugger before he could do anything Ryan thought, Time to get to work.

A pale mist rises around the mugger, unnoticed even as he reaches into his pocket to pull out his blade.

Having reached the ground Ryan notices an unusual mist around the mugger unsure what to make of it he ignores it for the time being. Rather than attacking the mugger outright Ryan waits a bit just to make sure he isn’t decking an innocent but creepy guy.

The mist swirls around as the mugger reaches out to grab at the woman, holding his knife close in the other hand, ready to slash at her if she protests.

Seeing the mugger try to attack the woman Ryan charges the mugger through the mist aiming a blow towards the mugger to disarm him of the knife and sending his other fist towards the guys head. The mugger sees Ryan coming too late to avoid but with enough time to brace for Ryan’s attack.

But the mist around him solidifies into a woman, who trips him as he staggers back from Ryan's punch, sending him sprawling to the ground.

As Ryan see Nightingale materialize from the mist he doesn’t freak out like most normal people probably would but in the short time he has been doing this hero thing he had already learned to roll with it.

“Hey thanks for the trip,” Ryan says as he walks over to the downed mugger to give him a hard punch to knock him out for the police.

"I am," she nods. "Ryan...?" she prompts, having not heard his last name before.

“Spector, “ Ryan says that wasn’t much of a secret any more sometimes it really did seem like Captain America could be a match for Nick Fury at the spy stuff.

Nightingale pauses, freezing a moment, staring at him.

"Do you have a relation named Marc?" she asks carefully.

“Yeah that dear old Dad,” Ryan says, “Why?”

The question was an unusual question when first meeting someone and made Ryan curious.

"We must talk," she replies. "Up there." She gestures, then vanishes into mist, moving towards the indicated rooftop, leaving Ryan to finish dealing with the mugger.

Ryan tied up the mugger and let the police know where to make the pickup. Then Ryan followed to where Nightingale had headed using some more free running to get up to the roof. “So what did you what to talk about?”

"Your father. Is he alive?" she asks directly.

She pauses. "He's not... brain-damaged, or in a coma, or anything of the sort?"

“No guess I don’t think so, he’s the head of Spector Corp, whatever that tells you,” Ryan says curious as to why Nightingale thinks such bad things might have happened to his dad.

"That makes no sense..." she mutters quietly to herself, looking down in thought. Spector-Corp? How did she miss such an obvious clue to Marc Spector's current location?

Unless... she wasn't supposed to find Marc?

Nightingale turns to Ryan again. "Your father... you're with the Avengers because your father was Moon Knight, correct?"

“Sort of, I’m more part time. But he didn’t get me in or anything that was all my initiative, all of his involvement was just me putting his name down on the paper work. But yes he was Moon Knight like 6 or 7 years ago before he retired,” explain Ryan.

“Why are you so interested in my father,” Ryan asks. Ryan could see the similarities in the costumes but he didn’t register what that meant or that it even had any meaning.

"Did he choose to retire?" Nightingale asks, ignoring his question. "Or... was it something else?"

“If by choose to retire you mean Mom telling him he was too old to be doing this anymore and that he was a father and couldn’t be so selfish anymore and if he wanted to still have visiting rights he had to retire then yes. Which was probably a good idea considering that he was almost fifty years old at time and his body probably could take much more abuse,” Ryan said. He had notice how his question was ignored but decided that the questions being asked might give him his answer if he was listen carefully.

"Then Khufu abandoned him..." she mutters, quietly, almost imperceptibly.

While he can make out most of what is said he does hear Khufu and with that the pieces falling start falling into place slowly but not enough just yet. “Wait what did you just say about Khufu,” Ryan asks because he knows that that part of his dad’s life was not public knowledge.

She looks up. "Khufu abandoned him, didn't he?" she asks, a little louder this time.

“I wouldn’t know that would be between him and Khofu now would it, but I think they just came to an agreement of some kind,” hypothesizes Ryan, “But then again I’ve never asked about any of that stuff.”

"I need to speak with him, then," Nightingale replies. "It's important."

“Why,” ask Ryan, he knew his dad would probably still be in his office but he wanted to know what he was getting himself and possibly his dad into.

"That is between myself and your father," she replies enigmatically.

“I don’t need detail just the basics. I won’t have mom yelling at me about allowing dad to have another relapse,” Ryan stubbornly.

"...relapse?" she asks, curious. "Relapse into what?"

Ryan was a little surprise to hear that, “You mean you’ve never hear, about that stuff. Well he has had a whole bunch of mental problems over the years. About a year or so after I was born he final went to get mental help and after a couple years of intensive therapy he got mostly over them. I would give you the full list of his problems but that would take too much time but the main ones were multiple personality disorder, homicidal mania, and schizophrenia.”

Multiple personality disorder?

Nightingale freezes. She can feel her blood turn to ice.

"We'll talk later," she says abruptly. She dissolves into mist and vanishes. There's much to sort out...

“What the hell just happened,” Ryan said out loud to no one. Maybe knowing how crazy his dad was scary Nightingale off wouldn’t be the first time that had happen.

After standing around like an idiot for a bit Ryan notices the police car had come to pick up his mugger.

Seeing that justice had been served Ryan leaves the roof top to continue his patrol for another hour before heading back to his dorm.
