Crossword puzzles for fun and relaxation

I enter Little Louie's coffee shop and pizzeria and hope to see someone from that Knight's Vigilant group. I go ahead and enter after checking people coming and going for a while and I think I see someone I recognize. I walk over and introduce myself and give my name as Beth and she tells me she is Taki. We have some quiet conversation where we discuss Dr. Overmind and the team's previous experiences with him. She then proceeds to tell me that I am a threat and he will attempt to take me out of the picture and maybe even use me against the good guys. Suddenly I see a SpecterCorp van drive by outside with two men in the front with glowing orange eyes. I interrupt her to suggest that we should go - NOW!
 
When we get outside I see that Taki keeps looking around everywhere for something, but I don't know what. I get closer to the van to look for a license plate. I go ahead and put the comm unit in my ear, turn it on, and ask if anyone is there and then here Taki calling for the Knight's vigilant to assemble at the corner beside the coffee shop because of a suspicious van. I continue to study the van while it is waiting for the light to change. Then I notice the figures in the van are sitting perfectly still, not moving, and staring straight ahead. I open the comm channel and share this information with everyone. Then Taki runs past me (now she has a mask on!) and jumps on top of the vehicle. I debate for a millisecond and then jump on behind her. Then the light changes color and the van picks up speed slowly and proceeds down the street. I discuss strategy with Taki and she isn't really into strategy so I give the others an update on our position and wait for them to intercept. Suddenly, a dust cloud settles around us and now I don't think that anyone can see us. Then the dust cloud talks to us and Sahara says hi. Taki tells us that she is sure we are heading towards the hospital. Then we pass the hospital and then another van comes out of a side street and there is a package passed from one to the other.
 
Take elects to stay with the van we started with as the rest of us switch to following the other. Sahara offers to carry me with them and I am not sure how this works, but he says he can carry me. He even tells me that I can ride on his back and he can make me a chair to sit in - with a seatbelt no less. I let him know that I might scream and then I am in a saddle with a seatbelt and we are following the van and Sahara swoops in and then he is suddenly a motorcycle. I start looking around for the van. We spot a van - with the number 67 on the side- so we pull up behind. This wasn't the van we were following to I turn to Sahara to find out what the expert thinks we should do. He thinks that we should traverse the parking garage to look for the correct van. Then we see a convoy of vans approaching and he suggests that I get off while he stops them. I agree and stand back to observe. He gets ahead of them and forms into concrete barriers.
 
Suddenly the vans just stop. Sahara flows back into his normal shape and is instantly recognized - of course! He introduces me so I have to instachange into Bronze Tempest and then we start talking to the teams. I suggest that we plot their last remembered locations to combine with the information that Taki got to see if we can find a nexus or something interesting to provide a new path of investigation. We mingle with the various teams and plot the points and I think there is something odd about the points and then Sahara points out that the vans were exactly six blocks apart beside Central Park and then a longer break that starts to suggest that someone is using Central Park as the center of a crossword puzzle. That means that one of the answers would end at the Museum of the City of New York - isn't that were Moon Knight and Take are at??
 
"Hey," one of the SpecterCorp techs approaches you. "I found this canister hooked into our AC unit. This writing on it make any sense to you?" (( Etched on the canister reads: "A painting through a peephole" )) Which wonder of wonders is actually a clue in today's New York Times puzzle - 8 down. Now we have to solve the puzzle in order to find the bad guy?? We started out strong, but now we seem to be unable to figure out a path. We hear the others on comms at the museum and they are dealing with security guards and smoke and then Taki finds a timer on a device. She sends out a video, but neither Sahara nor I can figure out what type of device it is or why it is doing what it is doing. Sahara suddenly goes on about "it is probably coordinates" and we wonder what would be tracked. Then Taki mentions that it is probably the package that was being shuffled from van to van. We quickly ask for help to search the rest of the vans and find one more clue: "Almost or nearly as described, but not completely real". When we put the two clues together we figure out that it is a diorama. We ask Moon Knight if there are any at the museum and there is actually one of New York City. He heads towards it as Sahara and I take to the sky to get to the museum. Taki is taking steps to stop the device.
 
We hear a strange voice over the comm and it is not Moon Knight. Kara (who is Kara??) tells me that sometimes there is Honshu instead of Moon Knight, but he is still part of the group and so is she. Then she proceeds to tell me a whole bunch of names that are apparently part of the group too. Apparently, Taki thinks I should join the group, but Kara understands that not everyone can handle it, but she apparently can and doesn't even seem to leave the headquarters so why shouldn't I join? As Sahara is flying us into the parking deck, I see a utility truck half a block away. Two guys - who look confused - are removing a large "Ironclad Security" sticker that had been covering "SpecterCorp" logos on the truck. I suggest that we should probably check to see if that is the van we were initially hunting - 38. Statesman takes that opportunity to chime in on the comms to tell us that yes, it is the same van and that it has already dropped off the package. Sahara heads into the museum while I check to make sure the buses are safe for everyone to get home. They are fine, so I strongly suggest everyone should head home and then I gently pop open the front door and walk into the museum. The area is filled with smoke and I take a deep breath - baby powder. Then I see flashes of red light and they all seem to be coming from the same place so I jump to be 18 inches behind the source of the flashes.
 
There are two robot looking men attacking Moon Knight who bellows something about making a chariot???
 
What have I gotten into????
