October 30th 2012
In a bar in a small village in Illinois, two local men were sitting, nursing their drinks while watching a feature about the recent events that transpired over 5 months ago on the TV. Dubbed the Battle of New York by the famous bulletin writer Ben Urich, a team of superheroes had gathered together to stave off an extraterrestrial threat lead by a God.
"The world gets more fucked up everyday, doesn't it?"
"Amen to that brother. Those damned superheroes destroyed New York. The Macendales only recently got their son's body back and now our little town has a psycho killer decapitating children."
"The Sheriff's nephew was one of the victims right?"
"Yeah the third one. I came here trying to get me and the family away from weird shit like that," the old man sighed lightning another cigar and breathing it in, "life used to be so much simpler."
"I agree," came the voice of a third person in the bar. A kid, barely even an adult was sitting near to them, sipping on his own drink. "Life was way simpler before the whole world knew about extra ordinary phenomena."
"Your..." the old man trailed off pointing at the boy.
"Y/N L/N, one of those damn superheroes. I'm an agent with SHIELD." He said flashing his level 7 clearance badge, the same one Nat and Clint had. Roxy was seated beside him. "Either of you guys point me in the direction of the police department?"
Earlier that day
Y/N was cruising through New York in Lola with Roxy by his side, until a message popped up on the dashboard, a video call.
"Could you get that for me?" The boy asked, his girlfriend obliged his request and pressed the screen to accept the call. Up popped the massive forehead of agent Jasper Sitwell.
"Sitwell. What can I do for ya?"
'We've been getting reports of a serial killer in the small town of Sleepy Hollow, Illinois. It's bloody, teenagers getting decapitated.'
"Uh huh," the boy answered unsure where this was going, "and why are you calling me?"
'We've got unconfirmed reports of a person or being who matches the description of an enhanced individual Coulson ran into last year." Camera footage of the incident popped up on the screen for Y/N to observe.
"Yeah, Coulson mentioned that one to me. The dude outgunned and outran multiple SHIELD strike teams sent to pursue him."
"Yes, that's why we're asking you." Sitwell replied to the younger agent.
"Yeah ok, I'm on it. What could go wrong? It's only decapitated bodies in Sleepy Hollow on Halloween."
"Good luck." Sitwell then hung up the called.
"Right, I'll drop you off and I'll bring you a souvenir on the way back."
"No its fine, I've always wanted to see Sleepy Hollow anyway, ever since I saw that movie with Johnny Depp in it." Y/N tried weighing the options in his head. He could most likely handle the situation but it was still dangerous, and Roxy's mom would kill him. The boy sighed and gave in, activate Lola's flight controls and taking off much to the astonishment of the other cars on the road

Leaving Roxy at a nearby motel, Y/N went to the Sleepy Hollow Police Department. Y/N waltzed into the police department. Using his badge to get an audience with the Sheriff, Harry O'Connor.
When he walked into the office, the sheriff was on the phone with the town cemetery's grave keeper who was calling about a body being recently dug up.
"Sorry Ned, I'll deal with it once I wrap up this murder spree case, it's probably just kids, especially at this time of year."
