It was supposed to be a simple get in, get out job. Khonshu had told him where to go, pointed out who their target was and as his fist of vengeance, Marc was supposed to have taken them out. Stupidly, he had allowed himself to get a little too cocky by thinking it would be an easy job, one where he could get back home by the next day. Layla knew about his Moon Knight gig, it wasn’t something he hid from her unlike some of the other stuff he did hide. She wouldn’t be too happy that he had left her behind, she’d taken to coming on a few of his ‘missions’, especially when they involved ancient artifacts. Marc hoped she would understand why he’d left her behind on this occasion. Ever since ‘the snap’, tensions had been high and as capable as she was, he didn’t want her in the crossfire with this particular lowlife.
The very fact he was now pinned to the floor and had a gun pressed against the back of his head was all the proof he would need that Layla was better off at home.
Should have known coming to Sweden was a bad idea. Marc had never really liked the cold; too used to more humid and warm climates after being stationed in Iraq and then living in Cairo for years. His movements were more sluggish than they would usually be, and it had cost him the advantage he’d had in the fight. Come on Spector, think. He needed to think of a way out of this before he got a bullet to the brain. Khonshu’s armor was able to heal him, but he didn’t want to test out if it could withstand a bullet going through his head. He couldn’t die here, Layla was expecting him at home and if he died...so would Steven.

Marc cursed Khonshu under his breath. Couldn’t the old bird actually do something helpful instead of giving orders or making snide little comments? He hated that no matter what he did, it never felt like it was enough. He hated that despite knowing that, he still went along with whatever Khonshu asked of him, because he enjoyed what he was doing, and because this was as good as it would get for him. Marc didn’t deserve anything but this. ❝ Look, maybe we can work this out? ❞ Marc grunted as he was pistol whipped from behind, putting to rest any chance of talking them down. ❝ You really don’t want to do this, if you shoot me, you’re gonna have one very pissed off god to deal with. ❞
