Marc Spector has posed:
    The Midnight Mission, as usual, is serene and peaceful within. The soundtrack within is reserved this morning. The ambient sound of a river cutting through rocks whispers through the building. The main hall of the building also looks to be undergoing some renovations. At the North and South facing walls two large scaffoldings have been set up around something large underneath a white sheet. At the base whatever is under looks to be made of stone or marble.

    The Call of Khonshu is an almost constant wash through the city. Most cannot hear it. But there are those few who can just barely make out the whisper of the god of the Moon, urging them to move. To travel. To make the passage toward the Midnight Mission. To seek out his aspect on this plane of existence. To seek out Moon Knight.

Thea Queen has posed:
Ever since Thea had been in Egypt and faced off against both a madman hellbent in becoming a God, along with the powers of the Khushu Idol, there's been a constant calling on her mind. One that is leading her towards a certain place in New York. That urges her that there is more to do still. It had already been growing ever since she had been involved with the Asgardians and a nefarious plot of the Gods of Death to arrest control of the souls of those who died. But now?

Here she was.

She comes dressed in her 'hero' outfit. The black and red leathers, hood up over her head. A blade and a bow on her back. Speedy for some. Red Arrow for others! A look is given to the Mission from atop a building near it. This was the place. She jumps down a fire escape ladder, then to the ground, moving across and towards the main doors, stepping within quietly, curious eyes turning here and there.

Marc Spector has posed:
    The quiet peace of the place greets her first and then a voice calls to her. The tone is resonant and deep and almost pervasive in it's command of the location. "Ah. Another has heard the call. Come friend, and let us discuss what the Pathfinder has in mind for you" the voice says from the main hall of the Mission.

    Standing there under the open skylight is a tall figure with an athletic build. His outfit is all white and covers him from head to toe, leaving no trace of skin to be seen beneath the composite armor and billowing cloak. Standing before the statue of Khonshu the two could be easily mistaken as the same entity given the silver glow that emenates from the man in his domain. There is no trace of threat in his posture and he waits, almost inviting for the newcomer to approach him.

Thea Queen has posed:
A voice. That puts Thea briefly on edge, hand straying to the bow before letting go when she spots where it's coming from. The Moon Knight. Not that her tension is gone but she speaks up, "Thought I might be going crazy. Not sure if this is better though.." she admits with a faint smile from under the hood. Voice young-ish.

She continues her approach, continuing to observe the surroundings, the carpets and art pieces but eventually her focus goes fully to the statue and the man near it, "I am Sp-- I mean, Red Arrow." she states. "It seems as if you were expecting me?" a beat, "What is going on?"

Indeed it doesn't seem as if she is one of those normal believers!

Marc Spector has posed:
    

    Moon Knight was only slightly familiar with those who followed Green Arrow. Their territories intersected on occasion, even if their prey did not. He nods to the Red Arrow. "An Arrow, fascinating" he says in answer. "I had not anticipated an Arrow being loosed on the Traveller, but it isn't for me to decide who answers the Call. Only they can decide to come."

    He gestures around him, the motion smooth and unencumbered. "You heard the Call of Khonshu. You heard the Call and came. Of course I was expecting you, I sent the Call." He looks back at her and tilts his head. "What do you think is going on?"

Thea Queen has posed:
"What is this ..., Call though?" Thea then asks, some curiosity slipping into her voice, finally finishing her approach, closer to the Knight. If anything she isn't the type to be afraid. And for some reason it doesn't seem as if there is danger for her in here. At least not at the present. "Khonshu?" maybe not the most versed where it comes to Egyptology.

Yet she can still recognize the patterns all around. "Similar to what I saw..." she murmurs, ".. back in Egypt." brows furrowing briefly. "Is this what is going on then? Gathering those that were touched somehow?" another pause, "And you are the shepherd?"

Well, seems like she is getting there fast at least. "You are the Moon Knight, aren't you?"

Marc Spector has posed:
    Moon Knight inclines his head. "The very one" he says spreading his hands to the side. "I would hope there aren't others. Dealt with that business already..." he says almost as an aside.

    He turns his attention back to Red Arrow. "It's good to meet those who are able to make the leap to the proper conclusion quickly. Yes. I am something of a shepard for those touched by the graces of the Ennead or the Ogdoad or their ilk as some of my brothers and sisters do not fit either category, myself included."

    Another curious tilt to his head and he seems to weigh the woman before him. "Who were you marked by, is the question? I cannot sense it on you, which is... intriguing. Perhaps, in moving with those like myself and others that will come, we will find out together?"

Thea Queen has posed:
"Well ..." Thea murmurs up again, ".. if we went and took care of all the Arrows that exist.." so many Arrows! All color coded. Still, it seems like it was meant as a joke, the woman's lips seen curling up into a smile under the hood, eyes still vividly curious behind the domino mask.

The talk of Ennead and Ogdoad has Thea cant her head to the side, clearly names she isn't familiar with. But she finds herself nodding. This had been a Call. And she had answered. A place where she was meant to come to and be.

"I do not know who may have marked me.." yet by her tone it's not as if she may telling all there is to say about that, yet. "But I am willing to learn. I was meant to be here." another smile, she lifting her hand up to the Moon Knight.

"And I'd be honored to find it out together."

Marc Spector has posed:
    Moon Knight takes the hand offered and gives it a firm but polite shake. "Welcome then, to the Heliopolitans. There are few of us now, but in time, more will come of that I am certain."

    He gestures and turns in a circle. "Consider this place the Headquarters for our operations. I may send out a more direct call to those connected to us, if you hear it and are able... answer." He gestures to one side. "By contrast, if you find yourself in distress, and the gods will it, then we will be there for one another to help in whatever way we can. Be it physical force, healing, or knowledge. We all have our strengths and I know that we will be all the better when we utilize each other to our fullest potential."
