Moon Knight Oneshots

The Demon Resides

Why did you like this life?
Everything about it was wrong, but...you felt so safe and cared for.
You didn't want anything to take you away from them, but you knew she would be getting restless.
Especially being under the rule of a human with mental illness.

"You okay, baby? You look like you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders." Marc said as you snapped out of your deep thoughts and looked beside at him.

"Sorry..." You muttered as he looked at you with worry.

"It's okay, what's wrong?" He asked resting his hand on your knee.
You couldn't help but start to bite at your nails, showing vulnerability and nervousness.
Suddenly you got up and backed away.

"I-I'm gonna take a nap." You muttered before rushing off to bed.
Marc was worried but he decided it was best to let you go for now.

--

Marc went to go check on you an hour later, his heart nearly stopped when he saw the bed empty.
He was sitting on the couch the whole time and didn't even hear a noise.

"Marc... Did someone take her?" Steven asked nervously before Marc summoned the suit.
This was a big city, and it would be impossible to find you, but a few weeks ago Marc had done something he wasn't too proud of.
He'd implanted a chip into your neck to make sure he always knew where you were.
He set out on a mission to find you, he saw you weren't too far from the apartment.

When he made it there he found you in an alleyway covered in blood and curled up in the corner, crying.

"Shit, baby!" Marc shouted as the suit retracted and he ran towards you.

"No! Stay away! Please." You cried out as he stopped and didn't come closer.

"Baby, it's okay. I'm here." Marc said as you began to sob.

"I don't want her to hurt you." You cried as he looked at you in confusion.

"Who? Who did this to you, doll?" He asked, cautiously coming closer and kneeling onto the ground.

"I should've told you, I didn't want to lie. I would never lie, I want to be good for you, always." You rambled away as Marc looked at you sadly.

"Deep breaths, love." He said as you nodded and tried to level your breathing.

"There's an evil spirit that possesses my body. The last few months she's been quiet, but now she's back and I know she'll try to hurt you." You whispered as Marc looked at you in shock.
That definitely wasn't what he'd expected.
Marc realised he had been silent for far too long.

"Marc?" You questioned as he reached forward and helped you stand up.
He kept hold of your hand as you both stood up.

"We're going to get through this together, sweetheart." He said before your head was thrown back and you gasped, it was similar to how Marc changed with Jake or Steven.

"You must really like this little slut, huh?"
Marc looked at you in shock, your voice was deeper and your eyes a different colour.

"How long have you possessed her?" Marc growled before she chuckled. She grabbed him and plunged her dagger into his side.
You screamed and fell to the floor, taking control once more before Marc ripped the dagger out and let the suit form to heal himself.

"You have to kill me, please." You whispered as you began to cry hopelessly.

"No, sweetheart. It's okay, forgive me." Marc whispered before kneeling again, he smiled before knocking you against the head, rendering you unconscious.

--

All you could hear was screaming, your body felt as though it was burning.
You finally came to and realised it was you screaming.
You looked up to see a dark figure above you, your body collapsed and you began to cry from the pain.

"Shh, mi amor." A voice said as you sobbed with relief.

"Jake!" You shouted, trying leap up to hug him but you were restrained.
He gently ran his hand over your cheek as you sobbed.

"Shh, it's okay my sweet angel. She won't be in your mind ever again after this. No more pain." He whispered as you looked at him with confusion.

"I'm scared, what's happening?" You whispered as he leant down and kissed your forehead.

"Be strong for me." He whispered before the burning pain began again.
You screamed and saw Jake disappear from your vision.
The pain was unbearable, you thanked your mind for putting you to sleep.

--

"Love? Are you with me?"
A voice startled you awake from your slumber.

"Stevie." You whispered hearing him chuckle softly and hold you tightly in his arms.
You knew you were curled up in bed with his, it was so comfortable and warm.

"I'm right here, darling girl." He said as you groaned and looked up at him.

"What happened?" You asked as Steven brushed his hand through your hair.

"We had some friends help, but we got rid of the spirit that was within you. She can't ever hurt you again." He replied as you looked at him in shock.

"She's...gone?" You muttered as Steven nodded.
You could barely comprehend anything.

"Sweetheart, stop thinking so much. You don't need to think, just rest. Focus on me." Steven said as you nodded and cuddled into him.
Maybe it was best to just focus on Steven and the warmth he gave you.

"It's just us now, love."
