Moon Knight Oneshots

Punishment - Part 2

You had fallen back asleep in Marc's arms.
He was exhausted and about to go to sleep as well when he heard a familiar voice.

"I'm proud of you." A voice said as he looked up to see a shadowy figure that represented his mother.

"What?" He whispered staring with wide eyes.

"You grew up to be exactly like me." She said as Marc paled, the words impaling his soul.

"No, I'm nothing like you. I'm doing this because I love her you did what you did because you hated me." He growled lowly trying to not wake you up.

"I abused you because I hated you, and you abuse her because you love her. Different reasons, but it's still abuse isn't it son?" She said as Marc began to hyperventilate.

"Marc?" He heard your voice say as he looked down but you were fast asleep.

"Marc it's okay wake up." You said but your lips weren't moving.

"What?" He whispered before he felt someone shake him and he jolted awake.
He hadn't realised it was a dream.
He looked up to see you sitting up and looking down at him.

"Are you okay?" You whispered hugging yourself.
Just looking at you he could see how badly he had hurt you.
Not just psychically but mentally.
He sat up slowly and reached forward to hold your face gently.

"Yes, I'm okay. I'm sorry for waking you up baby. Do you want to go back to sleep?" He asked as you nodded a little, he laid back down and let you lay on his chest.
He knew he needed to start treating you softer. He wasn't going to let you go but he needed to not hurt you anymore.
Maybe he could even take you out of the apartment for a day.

--

You woke up the next morning feeling a hand play with your hair softly.
You looked up to see Marc awake, he looked like he was thinking.

"Marc?" You whispered out, he truly realised how much fear was even just in your voice.

"Good morning sweetheart. I was thinking we take you out shopping today and get you some new clothes or even some things for your room." He said as you looked at him in confusion.

"But how? I can't leave the apartment." You whispered as he looked at you sadly.
They'd broken you so much that leaving was generally confusing to you.

"Well, it can be a special day. I'll be sure to be with you all day, we can get something to eat and then go shopping. Does that sound good?" He asked still playing with your hair.

"It's your choice." You muttered resting your head back on his chest.

"I'm sorry." He whispered before you looked back up at him.

"Why?" You asked as he looked down at your face.

"I'm sorry for everything I did to you. I hurt you and I shouldn't have baby." He whispered making you look at him in confusion.

"But, that's normal. It's normal for you to hurt me." You replied as his eyes widened and his heart practically broke.
That's exactly what he thought when he was a kid, he thought it was normal to be hurt.

"No baby, no it's not normal. What we did was terrible and we shouldn't have done it. You don't deserve to be hurt." He whispered running his hand through your hair as you still looked up at him.

"Really?" You asked in disbelief as he smiled softly.

"Yes sweetheart. You're such a wonderful girl for us and we hurt you. I'm going to talk to Jake too and make sure he won't hurt you anymore. We took you here to protect you, it took me too long to see I was the monster." He said as he saw tears in your eyes.

"I thought you hated me." You whispered as you began to cry, he pulled you so you were laying on top of him and wrapped you up in his arms.
You cuddled into him and cried softly.

"No baby, I don't hate you. I love you so fucking much, we all do. But we showed it in terrible ways, you're so beautiful." He whispered kissing the top of your head as he rubbed your back.

"I love you too." You whispered clinging onto him.

"Would you like to go have a shower? I can pick out some clothes for you to wear today." Marc suggested as you wiped your tears on Marc's shirt and nodded.
He helped you stand up and you stumbled to the shower while Marc went through your limited clothes.
He managed to get some jeans and a hoodie for you. He knew he would help you pick out some new clothes today.
You re-entered with a towel around you as Marc smiled.

"There's some clothes on your bed sweetie, I'll go get ready while you do okay?" He said kissing your forehead as you nodded.
You changed into the clothes he had picked out and sat out in the lounge room waiting for him.
He came out in some jeans and jacket before he looked to you and smiled.

"I need you to do a favour for me okay?" He said helping you stand up as you nodded.

"Just stay with us all day okay? I want you to have a really good day out but I don't want you to get hurt so you need to stay around us." He said placing his hand on your cheek as you nodded again.

"That's the only rule?" You whispered looking at him in confusion.

"Yes sweetie." He said kissing your forehead.

"Now come on Angel, let's get going."

--

Your hand was intertwined with Marc's while you walked through the store, you stayed as close as you could to him.
After all it'd been a lot time since you'd been out in public.
Marc helped you pick out some clothes and you headed to a Cafe for lunch.
You sat down with him across from you.

"I don't understand." You whispered as he looked at you in confusion.

"What don't you understand sweetheart?" He asked reaching out to hold your hand.

"I don't understand why you're doing all of this for me." You whispered looking away from him in fear.

"I know it doesn't make any sense. Something made me realise what I had done, how I had treated you. What I did to you can't be forgiven, but I'm going to do what I can to make you feel safe and loved. I know Steven agrees with me that's for sure. I got so lost in treating you like my possession I couldn't even see the monster I had become." He whispered running his thumb over your hand.

"So, no more punishments?" You whispered as he stood up and came over to you kissing your forehead.

"No, no more punishments sweetheart."
