Who? Remus & Steven/Marc/Khonsu?
Where? Wheel 5
When? Saturday, 7pm
What? The full moon is too close for comfort.
Open? No

A full moon the evening before Easter was rubbish. Not as rubbish as a full moon on Christmas - that had only happened to him once, but he still remembered it bitterly. Still, he supposed it would all be over in the morning, and he could eat lots of chocolate because it was what you were supposed to do anyway.

At least Neville had been good enough to make the Wolfsbane for him; the potion was honestly life-changing. He could be sure that no one would come to any harm tonight, himself included. Which was why he had told Maryanne it was unnecessary to accompany him. He would just let the potion do its thing and try to get some sleep.

He'd headed to wheel 5 in very good time, because on the station there was no guaranteeing when the Wolf would take over. It was strange, but helpful, that his body still seemed to follow Earth's schedule, but without a natural sunset, it was best to err on the side of caution.

So, he was just sitting, waiting, flicking through a book with a sort of idle boredom. Which was certainly a lot better than being filled with fear and dread at what might be about to happen.

Steven had stayed up all night after spending the evening at Dr. Cuddy's Seder. Marc had been there too, watching through reflections and more than a little grateful that he got that much. But he hadn't pushed Steven to sleep on Friday, knowing that it would mean it would be much easier to get the body from him at an earlier time on Saturday. Steven had made it to about 16:30 before he'd sat down on the couch in his new flat-with-a-view and Marc had just nudged him out of the way. Steven was fast asleep, and Marc got ten minutes with a mug of black tea and a view of the massive planet below them, followed by a shower and a change of clothes.

Then Khonshu was there, demanding that he discover where the individual from Steven's magic class was. A look through the notes provided the man's name pretty quickly. Remus Lupin. So, Marc went where Khonshu directed him and made his way towards the fifth wheel. It was new to him, and as wild a place as he'd discovered on the station so far, so it took a while to reach the man.

HE IS BOUND TO THE MOON, MARC. YOU MUST TALK TO HIM.

"Is this another bad idea?" he asked quietly, trying to be as quiet as possible. "I still think he's a werewolf, his name is familiar but I can't work out where from. Is that going to be safe?"

ARE YOU AFRAID OF BEING BITTEN? FOOL, YOUR BODY IS MINE, WHY WOULD I ALLOW THE INFECTION TO TAKE HOLD IN YOU?

"Yeah, no, trust me. I'm more than aware of you owning this body since you've only reminded me about three times a night ever sin-"

INSOLENT WHELP the god snapped, and a wind picked up from seemingly nowhere, nearly knocking Marc to the ground. FIND THIS LUPIN AND DO IT SOON, MY SON, AND THEN YOU MAY HAVE THE EVENING TO DO AS YOU WISH

"Gee, thanks, Dad," Marc muttered, and then kept walking in the direction Khonshu told him to go. It wasn't too long before he spotted the man, sitting reading a book.

"Mr Lupin?" he called out, staying well back. "Can we talk?"

Wheel 5 was so dystopian feeling, that Remus couldn't remember ever seeing anyone that he hadn't invited along there during his transformations. So, when someone spoke to him, he looked up from the book with wide eyes of surprise and set it aside.

"Hello..." he started, much more calmly than he felt. His heart was racing, his mouth instantly dry with the anxiety. Oh God. No. He couldn't be here. At least he was keeping his distance.

"Erm..." he frowned. He had thought it was Steven from the magic class, but the accent wasn't right. "Miguel?" he asked, but it didn't feel right either. He wasn't holding himself like Miguel, and he would just call him Remus, wouldn't he?

"Does it have to be right now? It's... I'm sorry, it's really not a very good time for me."

Understatement of the century.

"Miguel? That's the teacher guy, right? I'm not him. Name's Marc." He stayed where he was and folded his arms across his chest. Glancing up at Khonshu as Lupin pointed out the obvious, Marc shrugged one shoulder.

"I know it's not, and I'm sorry, but apparently I needed to talk to you now."

THE PULL IS STRONGER NOW THAN EVER.

No shit. Marc refrained from rolling his eyes as Khonshu stood beside Lupin, crouching down to examine the man.

"My, uh. Boss? He's very insistent. The moon pulls at us both," he said, gesturing between himself and Lupin, "but in very different ways, and... Look, do we need to do this right now? This clearly isn't helping Mr Lupin at all!"

YOU WILL DO AS I TELL YOU. ASK HIM IF HE IS AWARE OF ME. NOW!

If there had been lights around them, they would have flickered for a long time. As it was, the greenery and some of the smaller plants around Marc were blown flat as Khonshu's anger became known. If Lupin hadn't been aware of the Moon god before then, he sure as fuck was now.

Marc picked the leaves out of his hair as he glared at the god, and then looked back round at Lupin. "Can you sense a presence around you. The pull on you is almost at its peak, so I think we're here because it should be easier for you to do this?"

Remus frowned slightly at the name, but then he hadn't been on the station in years, it was certainly possible that he had just forgotten someone and not seen them again until now.

"Make it quick," he told Marc, achily getting to his feet so that he was ready to move if he had to. He wasn't usually so short with people, but time was not his friend right now.

"Your boss?" he asked, with a quirk of an eyebrow. That was ominous sounding. "Oh, are you... you need help, company?" he asked. Maybe he was going to transform into something else, maybe he needed the wolf to keep him in line. He wouldn't mind helping him out in that case, many had helped him in a similar situation in the past.

But then Marc was chattering to someone invisible, and it was all getting even more confusing. He was going to have to figure it out soon, because he could feel it, even though Earth's moon was not there to trigger it.

"Who are you..." he started, and then suddenly a wind came out of nowhere and the presence as Marc called it became impossible to ignore.

"Who is we? Your boss? I..." he gave Marc a bit of a panicked look. "I have taken a potion, I won't hurt you, I am no danger to you," he told him, his voice pitching a little. With the tense political situation at home, he didn't entirely trust that 'they' were here to help and not to attempt some sort of capture.

HE IS AWARE. EXCELLENT. TELL HIM WHO I AM.

"My boss is Khonshu. The Egyptian god of the moon." Marc was more than able to pick up on Lupin's distress. Shit, he didn't want to be here, making the man feel even worse. Should he suit up to show how he would be protected?

Obviously, that was when Khonshu decided for him with regards to the suit. The moon god didn't even glance over at Marc, seemingly too occupied with Lupin as he approached the time where he should change. And yet, Marc's eyes widened in surprise as the familiar feeling suddenly crept over his body without him initiating it; a crescent moon shone brightly in his eyes and then the glow spread so that all of his eyes shone. At the same time, Marc's head tilted back slightly and his arms straightened out at his sides while the Suit wrapped itself around him, all within seconds.

"I know you won't hurt me. You can't. And I have no intention of doing anything to hurt you, believe me." He spoke to Lupin, and then looked at Khonshu. "Can we leave him alone now?"

WE WILL LEAVE WHEN I AM FINISHED. DO NOT QUESTION ME FURTHER

"Fucking hell, come on!"
