Rain. I love it when it rains, it makes all the cowards I stop every night slow at trying to land a shot at me. The rain enables them to miss every chance they have, cause they're usually shaking in their pants just when having me in sight. And then out of nowhere BOOM, a quick jab and he's down. Just like the one it front of me, his hands slip off my suit once he strikes a punch. He can't hit the moon.
New York has the Avengers and half a dozen other costumed vigi's trying to make a name for themselves in that town, not to mention Hell's Kitchen has the so called "Man Without Fear", Daredevil. Luke Cage works all the way across town, but thats only during the day. At night, I protect these streets, the Spanish Harlem streets. Someone has to do it, and it just so happens that I have the audacity to do so when no one else can. Moon Knight is what I've been going by for years, and I've managed to make a name of my OWN.
Tonight, I got a lead from my special source that there's this new character in town operating in activities I couldn't get any specific details on. From what I've heard, he goes by The Shade. I did a little digging of my own on him, uses the power of darkness to wrap his adversaries in some sord of shadow hold, which also allows him to travel a certain amount of distance. What I want to know is why he's come to SH? I thought he had a job of his own going on in Opal City. It'll be a challenge to track him down, let alone take him on since I hardly use the shadows to my advantage, instead I want the people I'm taking in to see what's coming toward them. Cool, I could use a decent challenge.
The rain drops harder on the concrete buildings that get me to where I need to go, I could of used the sky plane, but it's to much of a noise maker. And I don't need any unwanted business on my shoulders, so I keep jumping till I find what I'm looking for. I grab my binoculars and zoom in on something I've spotted, blood? The trails goes on and on down to the streets, so I follow it. Up until it comes to a sudden halt deep in the back on a big alley, that when I here two men yelling from the top of their lungs while getting the snot beaten out of them. And a man with a very dark robe and hat having a riot watches over them while ordering his man to continue the punishment they were doing on the two men, who I wonder what exactly they did to deserve this.
I whip up a rope line, and quietly scale the building next to me. I don't want to take action just yet. I turn around once I'm up there, and see inside the building rooftp window. To my surprise, I find boxes and boxes of every drug imanigable, from meta roids to some very strong cocaine. The list could've gone on and on, I'm going to take a wild guess that those two men below me ran this depot, and were going to ship them out to a very wealthy costumer. A desperate one nonetheless, so the goons tormenting them wanted to get to it all first. Made perfect sense to me, all I to do now is put an end to it all. I grab the digital camera from my belt buckle, and quicly start photographing the boxes, each labled a diffrerent drug enhancment. This should add to the evidence I'm going to use when this is all finished.
I scale down the building, just then just then I hear one of the young hostages shout out a fatal cry. Dead, he ws dead before I got to him. Even though he and his partner were just as guilty for hiding these samples, the least thing I wanted was to have a death right in front of my nose. Can't let the other one suffer the same fate, I sneak up to one of the thugs holding the crowbar, and twist his neck to land him in a coma. When the crowbar drops, the other kid stop yelling and turns around. Same went for this goth person, and the other thugs to his right.
I stared directly at him, and this look of shock appears in his face. Glad to see I'm a little intimidating, that's when I realize who he is from a picture I printed out of him.
"The Shade, I presume."
