Marc's POV: Port Problems

Marc Spector & Khonshu & Reader

Summary: Jackals are attacking the port and Khonshu is a little antsy about it. Marc calls in backup and goes to sort it out.

"The jackals have a reputation for being ruthless and vicious, attacks like this wouldn't be unusual for them, but with the nature of this attack and the timing of it all, it definitely raises suspicions. Find the source."

Right.

Not too early into his night and Khonshu was pulling him out from the alleys to go to the port and deal with an urgent matter. Maintenance workers dead. The cause being the bigger concern.

It was the most coherent Khonshu had been with him in a long time. Marc believed the cause to be the jackals' arrival has the god well and truly wigged out. He never did like being outshone by anyone. Khonshu wouldn't say that, of course, but Marc had worked with him enough years to pick up on some things. This wasn't something he should be going out and doing alone. Their talk hadn't instilled any confidence.

Finger hovered over a few people in his contacts from the Defenders. Group texting sounded like his own personal hell. There was team and then there was team. Fuck that.

He text one person he knew would come.

Port asap. It's bad. Could do with you.

Jackals weren't going to wait for anyone. Marc went in alone. A steady stream of animals erupted out from a sewer entrance. Overrunning the port in all directions. Workers fled, trying to outrun the animals. A bloodbath.

One worker had gotten themself into an enclosed space in a forklift. Jackals either side of the door beginning to tear through metal and glass. One squealed as it was hit with a crescent moon into the back of its neck. The other got one to the face within the next second of it looking up.

Both fell back and searched for the aggressor. Marc used the cape to bring him down and pulled out more crescents. Out of view, a few howled in communication with one another. They had a new target now. More civilians were still out there. He needed to find where they were coming from.
