A difficult conversation:
It's been a couple days since the assault on SHIELD. Nightingale hasn't been seen by the Avengers since then.

But eventually, things need to be sorted out. So against his own better judgment, Qamar uses Nightingale's Avengers pass to get into the Hydrobase, then finds himself approaching Sammy's room. He takes several seconds to calm his heart, then knocks on the door.

	Sammy was hiding out, pure and simple. When the knock came, she couldn't think of who it might be. Everyone was supposed to be in the city with their families getting into the party mood with Halloween approaching. "What?" she called out in a less than gracious voice. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	He clears his throat. "It's... uh... me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Him. Or her? Who knew these days what was going on under somebody's clothing? She unlocked and opened the door. She didn't even know what to call him now. "Yes?" she asked politely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Can... we talk?" he asks. He has trouble maintaining eye-contact, but he makes an effort to do so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That depends." She leaned against the door and folded her arms. "Which costume will I be talking to this time?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shrugged and moved back to the rumpled bed with books scattered on the blankets. She sat cross-legged on the foot of it, leaving the room's one chair for him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He comes in, but he doesn't sit. He has too much energy for that. "So," he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not armed, if that's on your mind," she said with a nod to the desk. Both Glocks rested there with extra clips. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shakes his head, unconcerned with where her weapons are. "It wasn't ever my intention to deceive you, Sammy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just convenient, I suppose. So how does it work?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

His tone is strong and even. "When my father was killed by a suicide bomber, I found out who was behind the bombing... and I tried to put a stop to it. But I had no idea what I was doing. They captured me. They tortured me. They shot me." He opens his shirt, showing bullet wounds on his belly... wounds that should have left him dying painfully.

"And they left me in the desert."

He refuses to look away from Sammy, meeting her eyes.

	"How did you survive?" Curiosity would take over when she was nursing a resentment at being used by Qamar as well as Mikel. She stubbornly hung onto it. "Your file says you survived but nothing about how it happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's about five minutes later that Nightingale calls a meeting of the Avengers. Not an emergency, but important. She's sitting in her chair in the meeting room, waiting for the others to arrive. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Steve had already been at Hydrobase, having come back from the Mansion proper. (Doctor Pym insisted on running regular tests to make sure he wasn't causing himself undue harm with the growth formula). "What's up?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have something I need to share with the team," she explains cryptically. "And I wish to explain it only once." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iason arrives, nodding to those present and quickly settling in to wait for the others to arrive. Apparently he overheard what's been said so far, since he doesn't ask any further questions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	James came in and flopped down in an empty chair. "What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eliza arrives next. She had been doing school work so there's some ink blotted over one hand and the pen itself is sticking out over one ear. She takes in what appears to be going on and takes a seat, ready to see what Nightingale wanted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Before he could stop himself, Steve blurted out what he was thinking. "Are you a vampire? Because I had twenty bucks on vampire in the pool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cosmic_son 2009-10-29 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	He was aware there was definitely something unusual about Nightengale, he just hadn't put his finger on what yet. Steve's comment gets a curious glance. Gambling on a teammate's ID? "I'm fairly certain that our teammate isn't a vampire, no." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Zombie? I had ten bucks on zombie." Why yes, James did have a sense of humor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No," Nightingale explains quietly. "Though I have died once. I was reborn by Khufu, the Egyptian god of the Moon. I am the new Moon Knight. But there is more to it than that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Emily sat forward in her chair with interest, politely quiet but clearly on edge. She had to admit a great deal of curiosity about Nightingale since she and Kumar had been so kind to her on her arrival. (Well, after the initial beating anyway.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
