Surveillance Report #1
Case Number: SH-2024-0315
Subject: Marcus Donovan (AKA RSE "Blackout")
Occupation: Registered Superhuman Entity, member of the Night Watch
Date: March 15, 2024
Time: 22:00 - 23:30
Location: 1 Oak, Chelsea, New York City
Observations:
Subject arrived at 1 Oak nightclub at approximately 22:00, dressed in a black leather jacket, dark jeans, and a grey t-shirt.
Subject met with an unidentified female (hereafter referred to as "UF1") near the VIP area. UF1 is described as a Caucasian female, mid-20s, with shoulder-length blonde hair, blue eyes, and a slender build. She was wearing a red cocktail dress and black heels.
Subject and UF1 engaged in close, intimate conversation while drinking and dancing for approximately 1 hour. They were observed touching frequently and whispering in each other's ears.
At 23:15, subject and UF1 left the nightclub together and entered the nearby Dream Downtown hotel.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Surveillance terminated at 23:30 as per client's instructions.
Notes:
Subject did not utilize powers during the observed period.
UF1 does not match the description of subject's registered partner, Eliza Chen (AKA RSE "Lux").
Recommend further investigation to confirm the nature of the relationship between subject and UF1.
Surveillance Report #2
Case Number: SH-2024-0315
Date: March 22, 2024
Time: 19:00 - 21:00
Location: Subject's private residence, Upper West Side, New York City
Observations:
UF1 arrived at subject's residence, a luxury condominium, at approximately 19:00. She was let in by the subject.
Subject and UF1 were observed through the living room window engaging in intimate activity.
At 20:45, Eliza Chen unexpectedly arrived at the residence. She used her light manipulation powers to create a bright flash, temporarily blinding our surveillance cameras.
A heated confrontation ensued between Chen, subject, and UF1. Chen was heard shouting accusations of infidelity, while subject attempted to calm the situation. UF1 was observed hastily getting dressed.
Chen left the residence at 20:55, slamming the front door. UF1 left shortly after, at 21:00, appearing disheveled and upset.
Notes:
The relationship between subject and UF1 appears to be romantic in nature and not related to their superhero activities.
The use of powers during the confrontation heightened the emotional intensity of the situation and caused minor property damage (blown-out light bulbs, cracked window).
Surveillance Report #3
Case Number: SH-2024-0315
Date: March 28, 2024
Time: 18:00 - 20:00
Location: Central Park, New York City
Observations:
Subject met with Eliza Chen near the Bethesda Terrace in Central Park at approximately 18:00.
The couple appeared to be engaged in a serious discussion, with Chen gesturing animatedly and subject maintaining a defensive posture.
At 18:20, Chen produced a folder from her bag and handed it to subject. The contents of the folder are unknown, but subject's reaction suggests they were significant, possibly legal documents.
The conversation continued for another 30 minutes, with both parties becoming increasingly emotional. At one point, subject's shadow powers began to manifest, causing nearby shadows to flicker and distort.
The meeting concluded at 19:00, with Chen and subject leaving in opposite directions. Subject appeared visibly distraught.
Notes:
The meeting between subject and Chen seems to be related to the previous infidelity incident.
The folder handed to subject may contain evidence of the affair or legal documents pertaining to their relationship (e.g., separation or divorce papers).
Subject's loss of control over his powers during the conversation indicates a high level of emotional distress.
Surveillance Report #4
Case Number: SH-2024-0315
Date: April 2, 2024
Time: 14:00 - 16:00
Location: New York County Supreme Court, New York City
Observations:
Subject arrived at the New York County Supreme Court building at approximately 13:55, accompanied by an unidentified male believed to be his legal counsel.
Eliza Chen arrived separately at 14:05, also accompanied by legal counsel.
Both parties entered the courthouse and remained inside for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.
At 15:50, subject and Chen exited the courthouse separately. Subject appeared emotionally drained, while Chen maintained a neutral expression.
Subject's legal counsel was overheard mentioning the terms "divorce" and "power imbalance" while speaking with subject outside the courthouse.
Notes:
The court appearance strongly suggests that subject and Chen are undergoing legal proceedings related to the dissolution of their marriage.
The mention of "power imbalance" by subject's legal counsel may refer to the challenges posed by the couple's differing power sets and the impact on their relationship.
