"How do you know no wait we cant Jake!"
In a very distinct voice, he spoke with annoyance as if his partner failed to scout out ahead of time who his roommate was.
"Good morning kid, I'm going to teach you why you shouldn't say something if you see something in New York."
He threw a jab that I mechanically dodged as if second nature and kicked his chin driving him off balance pushing him further into the hallway. I jumped delivering a high knee that he blocked by grabbing me and throwing me behind him in the air, creating distance.
Wiping his mouth from blood he spoke, "not bad kid. Got good foot work on you. Let's see if your fists can back it." He raised his arms high as someone who picked up fighting not from a gym but from the streets.
I wanted to close the distance and test the waters on his skill and threw a jab expecting a dodge or counter strike. Instead the mad man braced for the hit and land one right hook full force to my body.
Instantly my body pumped my muscles with adrenaline as this was the first time I ever took a hit in my life. From just being cool headed I went into flight or fight response.
Using my teleport ability I went behind and delivered an elbow to his head as he turned unprepared. I dazed him and entered into a fury of blows with him managing to out pace his hooks as he missed them by a large margin probably due to blured vision.
With a hook to the liver he was about to fall to the floor when a sudden change occurred. He straightened himself in a professionally trained combat position deflecting my jab and doing an up cut catching me off guard.
I gaze went to the ceiling from the blow and I saw a white glow fill the hallway for a second. When it dimmed I felt moon knight tackle me with inhuman strength and in an instant rammed into the TV crushing it between my back and the wall behind it.
The exchange left me exhausted and I barley managed to look up. There he was, moon knight in all white and in his sliver glory. Damn healing factor of his or whatever bullshit he was good as new while I felt like shit.
"Sorry Steven but I have to agree with Jake. He knows our face and should be put to rest."
Fear, fear of cornered animal flew through my being and I remembered that I could pull objects or people towards me with the odd teleporting power. I screamed with agony, "I won't die now after everything." And jumped while pulling moon knight to me trying to replicate the same knee kill I did earlier.
However I didn't count on him to adapt to the sudden pull and he jumped towards me with a jumping punch. That paired with suit given from Khonshu he braved my knee to his stomach and knocked me out clean with a pefect fist to my jaw.

I awoke on the floor with the scrapes of my TV around me. A massive headache was starting to form and I felt all the bruises around my body as the muscles ached trying to get me to sit up right.
"Whoa calm down kid you need to rest here let me help you up."
I looked straight infront of me feeling like an idiot for forgetting the roommate who knocked me out.
It was Moon Knight, well the Steven Grant version with the suit on and everything stretching his hand.
I stared wondering if I should run or just accept death as a man, "you know I think-no we did start on a bad foot here kid. I-we don't normally hurt kids, well young adults on a normal basis when their unarmed. We just came back from difficult situation and we're on high alert. I managed to convince Jake and Marc to hold off and hear how you knew about me-us."
My brain had never been able to come with witty responses nor was one to understand to think before talking, "I saw you on TV dumbass."
His mask moved in a expression indicating he was surprised he was caught, "how? I normally evade them?"
"I don't know, same way I don't know how can do well supernatural stuff, like in the fight we had." Trying to cover up my mistake of nearly saying I saw a TV series on you.
"You know what? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here. Heck kid the world just keeps getting crazier with all the things appearing on TV lately. You look like a good kid, even if my voices are telling me to do otherwise. I think its a blessing to live with someone who knows who I am. Afterall Mark started the fight you were just excited to see me right?"
"Ah ya sure, super happy, a fan one could say."
"Ok cool, I'm going to back home and gather my things and be back here in let's say week time. Just wanted to introduce me-us to our roommate thanks for the place by the way."
With that he left while looking at me in a awkward manner in case I tried something. Why is my roommate a superhero or anti-hero depending on your view. Right now he..."wait! You owe me a TV! Steve I mean Jack. Ah fuck which ever one of you decked me into the TV."
I heard a faint echo from the staircase, "I hope it was insured."
Suddenly appearing in thin air as if it ran away like a coward, Ordis. "Operator your alive! Sadly Ordis gives you ten points!"
"What only ten? I fought the one well bunch and only moon knight. Give me more like 100."
"Oh I'm so sorry Operator but you lost got bodied to moon knight. This is more like cheering you up. Well what do you think of your roommate I picked him myself."
"He better give me rent on time."
"You live here rent free-"
"Shut up don't tell him, I'm going to sleep my body hurts and my pride is ruined. I thought I was cool with powers now I'm just a street level thief. I gotta think on a plan if I meet someone stronger."
